Chapter 27: The Air Between Our Lips

  On the lawn of the courtyard, a little boy with dazzling golden hair and pure and innocent eyes, his pupils looking like beautiful crystals filled with sweet dew, leaned against his grandmother's side.

  Grandma's face, full of wrinkles from smiling, looked especially kind. The little boy looked at Grandma's loving smile and asked with a tender lip: "Grandma, does my mom also smile as warmly at me like you do?"

  Grandma stroked the little boy's golden hair and nodded: "She will, when you see her, she'll definitely smile at you gently."

  "When can I see her? I don't even know what Mom looks like." The little boy pouted, stroking his grandmother's withered hands.

  "One day you will see her, she is like you, with a beautiful head of golden hair."

  "Really? That's great, I thought I was the only one with golden hair." The little boy looked very happy, his pure smile without any impurities.

  The little boy's grandmother saw how excited he was, so she took out a long rectangular red box from her pocket and handed it to the little boy: "This is your mother's thing, I have been hesitant whether to give it to you or not, I think I will give it to you after all, you should own it."

  "My mom's stuff! I've got my mom's stuff!" The little boy happily picked up the box and slowly opened it...

  Bang! A streak of bright red flashed across those deep, crystal-like eyes. Dark red blood splattered on that golden hair, slowly sliding down the bangs to the bridge of the nose, and then onto the cheeks.

  "Grandma!"

  Yin Tengyue suddenly woke up with a start, shouting and abruptly lifting his head. In front of him was a slightly surprised face just inches away.

  The lips, less than a centimeter apart, moved slightly, and the inhaled air from the tip of the nose collided with each other, producing friction. At this moment, it seemed that only the air between the lips was warm and flowing, while everything else had come to a standstill.

  Xiao Wei's line of sight shifted downward, and she saw his pink lips stuck very close to hers. She couldn't help but react, letting out a small sound: "Ah." Then she quickly sprang back, her face flushing as she turned around, stuttering: "Yin, Young Master Yin, did you... have a nightmare?"

  She had just been copying the test paper when she heard a murmuring sound behind her, and couldn't help but take a look. She saw that Young Master Yin was talking in his sleep, his whole body trembling, so she walked closer to take a look. Seeing that his chin was dripping with sweat, she leaned in closer, never expecting him to suddenly lift his head.

  Yin Tengyue took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his face, and muttered discontentedly to himself: "Damn it! Who turned off the air conditioner?! Hmph..."

  He slowly shifted his gaze to her, and for a moment, the image of their close proximity flashed in his eyes. His eyes flickered, and he said, "I wasn't dreaming, it's just too hot. Where's Ae-hyun? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

  "Oh, she just saw you fall asleep and was afraid that when you wake up you'll be hungry, so she went to buy food for you." Little Wei turned her body sideways, tilting her head, carefully observing his expression.

  Yin Teng Ye glared at her with an eerie gaze, then suddenly hung his head down, the bangs in front of his forehead fell wet and scattered, covering half of his face and his evasive eyes, hastily saying: "What are you looking at!"

  "Sorry, I've finished copying, so I'll go first." Xiaowei quickly gathered her things and grabbed the test paper to rush out of the classroom. She figured that Master Yin probably had a "don't see, don't know" attitude, so she might as well disappear on her own.

  "Hey!" Yin Tongye's words were stuck in his throat as he wanted to call out to her, but when he lifted his head, she had already vanished from his sight.

  "This speed is too fast, so anxious to go back and see your young master, my words are not finished yet, huh..." He picked up his pen and continued to copy reluctantly.

  Wei walked to the school gate and saw her two good friends, immediately happily went up to them. She had just received a message from Jingwen, didn't expect they arrived so soon.

  "Xiao Wei! Your school is also very strict, I wasn't even allowed to enter, it's infuriating!" He stood in front of the Xiuzhen School gate, scowling at the security room with a look of discontent.

  "Calm down. You're not a student at our school, after all." Jingwen pulled over her small braids and hooked her arm around Xiaowei's, asking: "How is it?"

  "What's going on?" Little Wei looked puzzled.

  "Of course it's a confession, a confession! Weren't you supposed to write a love letter for your family's young master? You can't have forgotten, right!!" She shouted excitedly and suddenly jumped to Xiaowei's other side, tightly grasping her arm.

  "Calm down, don't be so loud." Little Wei quickly covered her mouth, and the two of them tugged back and forth.

  A black sedan slowly drove past Ye Jingwen's side, the man inside had been staring at Xiaowei since he heard her calm voice, and when Ye Jingwen noticed, he rolled up the window.

  Jing Wen slowly turned her head to watch the car drive into the Xiu Sheng campus, feeling a bit strange. When she realized it, the window had already rolled up halfway, and she only saw half of the man's face inside, but from his gaze, he must be staring at Xiao Wei.

  "Hmm, what's wrong, Xiao Wei? You can tell me, your young master isn't here." Calmly pulling away Xiao Wei's hand, she saw Jingwen staring blankly at another place and called out: "Jingwen, what are you looking at?"

  "Hmm... nothing. Let's talk about this later." Jingwen slightly raised the corner of her mouth, and on her plain face, those deep and mysterious eyes exuded an air of secrecy.

  At the crossroads, the green light turned red, and three people stopped in their tracks and waited.

  "Xiao Wei, confession is important. Writing a love letter may be a bit cheesy, but it's quite suitable for you. So, you must use words to move your family's young master's heart. It can't be too long or too short. At the beginning, express your feelings, and then comes the key sentence: I like you!"

  Calmly as if giving a speech by the roadside, with rich emotions, both hands gesturing in coordination, unstoppable for a moment.

  "Mainly, remember to sign your name, don't be in such a hurry that you forget to write your own name, or else he won't even know who gave him the love letter."

  "Alright, alright, I know. I'll tell you after I've written it down. The green light is on, let's go." Little Wei smiled and raised her head.

  Three people walked to the fork in the road and waved goodbye, Xiaowei smiled as she watched their backs, turned around, and immediately became depressed, muttering to herself: "How am I supposed to write a love letter? What if Master reads my love letter and dislikes me? But if I'm asked to confess to Master in person, I don't dare either... Sigh..."

  Back at the Xi's house, Xiang Wei changed into her maid uniform and trudged along the corridor with a lifeless expression, her mind preoccupied with the contents of the love letter she was trying to write, but she just couldn't think of how to start the first sentence.

  She was so anxious that she suddenly accelerated the speed of mopping, wiping and wiping, and the mop wiped against someone's foot and stopped. She was stunned for a moment, without looking up, she knew who the owner of this foot was.

  She quickly picked up the mop and apologized hastily: "Sorry, young master!"
