Chapter 88: Shoulders Being Embraced

  The ten wounded fingers were pasted with cute band-aids, and Xiao Wei let out a weak sigh, not knowing how many more days she had to practice before she wouldn't prick her hands.

  She put away the band-aid, sat down at her desk, gazing at the clean surface. She hesitated for a moment, suddenly realizing that none of the textbooks she had brought were there. Coming to her senses, she looked around but didn't see any sign of them either.

  "What? Where's my book?" She rushed to open the door, just as the milkmaid was about to knock.

  "How did you know I was coming?" The milkmaid quickly handed the milk to Xiaowei and flashed away.

  Xiao Wei held the milk and let out a sigh, just as she was about to ask him where he had put the book. Knock knock knock, this time the knocking on the door was heavier than before, no longer so restrained and cautious.

  "What's going on?" Yin Tongye opened the door and saw her holding milk, then immediately slammed it shut.

  She ate a closed-door bun, Xiao Wei blinked her big watery eyes and continued to knock, saying: "Young Master Yin, open the door, I have something to ask you, where is my book on the table?"

  The door opened again, and Yin Teng Ye shook his head, pretending to be stupid: "I don't know, what book?"

  "It's our textbook, I put it on the table, didn't you see it?" As she spoke, she handed him the milk and held her hand high.

  Yin Teng Ye glanced at the milk near him, frowned in disgust, and turned his face away. He waved his hand: "I didn't see anything, I didn't enter your room, how could I have seen it? Besides, you can just drink the milk yourself, why bother bringing it to me?"

  Xiao Wei narrowed her eyes, looking at him with great suspicion. After a moment's thought, she said, "You don't drink milk, you won't return my book, and now you're going to your middle school classmate's birthday party by yourself?"

  She still held the milk high, looking at him seriously, waiting for his decision.

  Yin Tongye looked at the milk with a tangled face, pouting and coquettishly saying: "I really don't like drinking milk, can I not drink it?"

  "No way. Milk isn't hard to drink, and it's not bitter either. You drink it, it's good for your body. And return my book too, quickly." She also pouted her mouth and furrowed her brow, his coquettish behavior didn't work on her.

  "You're really heartless, just like your young master. Hmph!" He puffed out his cheeks and turned away, a sour smell wafting from his nose as he grabbed the milk and gulped it down with difficulty.

  "Isn't this good enough? From now on, just drink it like this, and you'll gradually come to like it." She stretched out her hand, certain that he was the one who had taken her book, otherwise no one would have touched her textbook.

  Yin Tengye licked her lips, rolled her eyes, and took out the book from the drawer of the bedside table to return it to her: "It's already a holiday and you're still reading books, you really love studying."

  "I'm not as smart as you guys, my score this time just barely reached the standard line, and that's including the physical education scores, so I need to work harder, can't afford to take a break and forget everything I've learned."

  She held the book and turned around, her shoulders wrapped in her arms, her feet stopped, she stared blankly at his arm and asked softly: "Young Master Yin, what's wrong?"

  "Didn't I tell you not to call me Young Master Yin? Or is it that you want to stay at my house?" There was a hint of expectation in his warm eyes.

  "Uh, I... am not..."

  "Never mind, don't say anything else. Don't overexert yourself, get some rest early." He pushed away her hand and turned his back to her, slowly placing his hand on his left chest, he could clearly feel the sound of his heartbeat.

  The moment his arm withdrew, she took a deep breath and hastily retreated to her own room, sitting on the bed. She exhaled, swallowed hard, and asked herself, "What's wrong with Young Master Yin?"

  She put down the book and crossed her hands over her shoulders, as if the feeling of being hugged was still there.

  For the past two days, she has been studying hard while he insists on drinking milk, and it seems that as long as she is watching him, he can finish the milk.

  The weather was fine, with a clear sky and not a cloud in sight. The blue was very clean. After only an hour of piano practice, Xiao Wei was driven back to her room by Yin Teng Ye to change clothes, preparing to set off for Cui Can's birthday party.

  Xiao Wei took out the outfit she had worn to Yu Qiu Yuan's house from her luggage and was about to change into it when there was a knock at the door. Two maids walked in, carrying a new set of formal clothes.

  "Miss, this is a dress we've prepared for you. We hope you'll like it." The two maids then busied themselves helping her change into it.

  "Huh? I, I actually..." She was made speechless by the two of them and ended up being forced to change into a new dress.

  "Miss, please put on your shoes." A pair of high-heeled princess shoes appeared in front of her, and she couldn't help but admire the beauty of the shoes. However, her classmate also raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can I not wear this?"

  The car was waiting at the door, and Yin Teng Ye, dressed in casual attire, stylishly brushed his fringe to one side. Upon hearing footsteps behind him, he slightly raised an eyebrow and turned around, but his smile faltered.

  Xiao Wei was supported by two maids, one on each side, and stood in the middle as if wearing high heels. She walked step by step very carefully, but her posture wasn't very elegant.

  "Your walking posture is really ugly, are you going to walk like that all the time?"

  "I don't want to either, but they insisted that I wear this pair of shoes, saying it matches the clothes well. But I've never worn high heels before, this is my first time wearing them and I'm not used to it yet. And these shoes are too high anyway, can't we change to another pair?"

  Suddenly she had to tiptoe with her feet off the ground for over ten centimeters, unable to find her center of gravity, and she really couldn't walk anymore.

  Yin Teng sighed helplessly, shaking his head. He strode to her front, lifted his hand and directly scooped her up in a horizontal hold: "At this rate of walking, how long would it take? Fortunately, the RV is big enough; you can practice inside later."

  Without regard for the eyes of others, he directly carried her into the car. The housekeeper and maids watched their young master's actions, all somewhat surprised, exchanging glances with each other, nodding in seeming understanding.

  Mr. Mu watched as the young master carried Xiao Wei onto the car, he smiled and nodded, closing the door. As for the young master's actions, he wasn't too surprised, but instead felt a sense of delight.

  When Xiaowei was put down in the car, she was stunned, her whole body stiffened, and her eyes were fixed in place, not daring to move.

  Although it was only a few seconds, her heart beat inexplicably faster as Yin Teng Ye swept her up in his arms and carried her to the car.

  "Eh, what's wrong with you?" Yin Tongye saw her dazed and waved his hand in front of her face. Suddenly, she turned away and stuttered: "No, I don't know...what is my young master doing?"
