"Cough..." Xie Qingran coughed slightly, feeling a little guilty.
"I...I wanted to eat, so I came out."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful.
I don't understand why I have to explain to Ji Chen.
She shouldn't be able to do whatever she wants!
But Ji Chen looked very happy.
"I'm buying you grilled squid. It's almost ready. If you want anything else, I'll buy it."
When we were together in the past, Xie Qingran liked to buy things at food stalls and loved all kinds of snacks.
Ji Chen would tell her that it was not good to eat these at first, but later Xie Qingran would buy her whatever she wanted.
"I'll go for a walk." Xie Qingran said and wanted to leave, but Ji Chen grabbed his wrist.
"It'll be ready soon, can't you wait for me?"
Xie Qingran felt that he was a little aggrieved. It seemed that if she didn't agree to him, he would be unhappy.
"...Waiting for you." Xie Qingran rarely felt uncomfortable. She turned her head and glanced at Ji Chen. She found that Ji Chen was staring at her with smiling eyes, and then turned his head silently.
Why do you feel so strange?
Why is she still a little embarrassed?
How strange!
When the grilled squid was ready, Ji Chen still held Xie Qingran's wrist.
The palm of his hand was a little warm, and Xie Qingran felt that the small piece of skin he grabbed was getting hot.
She struggled twice, and Ji Chen coaxed in a low voice, "Let me shake hands again!"
Xie Qingran frowned and wanted to refuse.
Ji Chen saw it and looked sad, "Are you not even allowed to touch your wrists?"
"We are now boyfriend and girlfriend."
Xie Qingran: "..."
She looked down and saw that Ji Chen's fingers were well-jointed, slender and beautiful, and when he held them on her wrist, they felt an inexplicable fit.
She pursed her lips and didn't look at Ji Chen, but she didn't struggle anymore.
Acquiesced!
Ji Chen turned his head to look at her face. Xie Qingran frowned slightly, as if he wanted to refuse, but at the same time he was at a loss as to how to speak.
This was enough to surprise Ji Chen.
Xie Qingran has a temperament that does whatever she wants, just like when she beat Ji Chen, just like how she disappeared after breaking up...
But now she is silent and cares about Ji Chen's thoughts. In Ji Chen's opinion, this is already a good start.
He is always different with Xie Qingran.
Xie Qingran felt that the piece of skin held by Ji Chen had begun to feel hot, but he still made no movement to struggle.
She turned her head to look at Ji Chen, met Ji Chen's smiling eyes, paused, and said with insufficient confidence, "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me next time."
Ji Chen just smiled, and his fingers slipped down and turned into holding Xie Qingran's hand, entering through the gap between the fingers, interlocking with hers, inseparable.
"I'm not pretending to be pitiful." Ji Chen defended himself.
This is obviously coquettish!
Xie Qingran snorted, but did not break away from his hand.
The fingers intertwined with Ji Chen evoked her familiar past.
Because they hadn't been together for long at that time, Ji Chen felt that even kissing and hugging were afraid of offending each other, so after being together for several months, all they could do in the end was hold hands.
Therefore, the feeling of holding hands with Ji Chen is very familiar to Xie Qingran.
From being uncomfortable at first to often holding hands later, she had long been accustomed to Ji Chen's presence.
Ji Chen took the cooked grilled squid, held hands with Xie Qingran, and walked around somewhere else.
It was already very late now, and some stalls were closed. Xie Qingran didn't buy anything else. He walked around and finished all the grilled squid Ji Chen bought.
"Okay, stop holding me." After eating, Xie Qingran rescued her hand, "It's very late, I'm going to bed."
Ji Chen looked at his empty hands, chuckled, and followed.
"I don't understand..." His voice was very soft, a little gentle and sultry at night.
"You haven't returned to the hotel yet, why did you let go of my hand so early?"
Xie Qingran was very confident, "I don't want to hold hands with you anymore, what about it?"
"..." Ji Chen drooped his head like an aggrieved dog, "Not very good."
He raised his eyelids and looked at Xie Qingran, like a pitiful little man under Xie Qingran's rule, "I listen to you."
Xie Qingran glanced at him awkwardly, then snorted and turned away.
Ji Chen was following her.
His steps were long and he caught up with Xie Qingran within a few steps, then slowed down and walked side by side with her.
Before going back to the room, Ji Chen stopped in front of Xie Qingran's door.
"What are you doing?" Xie Qingran asked in confusion.
Ji Chen looked down at her and said, "Qingran, good night, have a good rest."
Xie Qingran didn't know why and glanced at Ji Chen, "Oh, you too."
Just such a sentence seemed to make Ji Chen particularly happy. He curled his lips and smiled, "Okay."
Xie Qingran went in and closed the door. Ji Chen stopped in front of her door for a while before going in.
Back in the room, Xie Qingran let Xie Jing out first. Xie Jing circled around Xie Qingran, feeling a little distressed when she saw that she looked a little tired.
"Of course, let's go and rest."
Xie Qingran nodded. She asked Xie Jing to come out just to reassure Xie Jing. Now that the matter was done, she let Xie Jing go back to the talisman.
The next day, Xie Qingran slept until nine o'clock, and then was woken up by Ji Chen.
She hid herself under the quilt a little irritably, not wanting to worry about her phone.
But the phone kept ringing, and she finally answered the call.
"What are you doing, disturbing me so early in the morning?" The girl's voice was a little hoarse, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction.
Xie Qingran was a little annoyed when she woke up, but it wasn't serious and just needed some coaxing.
This was the result after Ji Chen occasionally called Xie Qingran to wake him up.
"Qingran, I have prepared breakfast. You can go to bed after dinner. Please open the door." Ji Chen's voice was extremely gentle.
"If I don't eat, I'm sleepy." Xie Qingran drooped her eyelids, feeling very sleepy.
"It's not good for your health to skip breakfast. I'm ready. Qingran, please open the door for me?" Ji Chen's voice was still gentle and indulgent.
Xie Qingran sat up and grabbed a handful of hair, "Just wait a moment and I'll clean it up."
"Okay, don't worry."
Ji Chen hung up the phone and looked at the messages received on his phone.
It is not difficult to check the background of the person yesterday. It was sent to his mobile phone early this morning.
He did indeed do a lot of bad things, but it posed no threat to them, so Ji Chen let others handle it.
Of course, if Xie Qingran still has problems, he will not ignore them.
Xie Qingran came to open the door soon. She was still a little confused, but her anger had subsided.
"There's no need to get up so early next time. I can sleep until noon." She muttered as she closed the door.
"Not eating breakfast is bad for your health..." Ji Chen advised in a warm voice, "You should eat a little at least, and then go to bed when you are full."
