three

Since I met him until now, it seems like this is the first time we are spending time together so quietly. However, it gives me a feeling of discomfort; on the contrary, I still prefer the way he used to argue and make noise with me. ... But now ...

Lost? What is he feeling lost about? Am I saying that he is not handsome?

With a light chuckle, I carefully examined him. The soft light illuminated his sleeping face, revealing that his features were indeed quite captivating. His thick, arched eyebrows resembled the crescent moon shining brightly in the night sky. His fair skin contrasted beautifully with his faintly rosy lips, and his handsome features along with his perfect face shape all exuded charm and elegance.

The only thing that can answer me is a faint sound of breathing

I do not know how long it has been, but I finally feel that my breathing has become much smoother, so I walked over to sit beside Ye Shengxi, saying: "Thank you, Ye Shengxi!"

His usual grades are so good, he shouldn't make mistakes with such simple words. That being said, he must be trying to make me laugh!

Ah! What is there to thank for? I, as a young master, possess a heart dedicated to upholding justice and aiding the good. When I encounter injustice on the road, I will certainly lend a helping hand!" He rubbed his thumb against the tip of his nose.

Hehe! Yes... yes, I happened to pass by there. ... Alright, alright, it's getting late, and your foot is injured. You should go back and rest early! Remember to apply ice to the injured area, or it will swell up.

When I walked to the window, I suddenly discovered a familiar figure standing under a large banyan tree not far from home

Seeing that I no longer spoke, Ye Shengxi also became considerably quieter

Seeing their eager eyes longing to return home, tears could not help but well up in my eyes

I immediately stopped in my tracks and paused for a moment, then placed my hands on my hips and raised my voice, saying: "Who said I am jealous? I would never be jealous of someone like you, not at all!"

A wave of warmth surged through my heart once again. I smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Well, no matter what, I still want to thank you. However... by the way, how did you end up there tonight?"

I turned back to glance at him and found him with his head down, not saying a word, his expression resembling that of deep disappointment

Oh my, he just fell asleep like this? He must be exhausted after all! But it's no wonder, having carried me for such a long distance, how could he not be tired?

"You didn't peek at me, you were clearly looking at me openly!" Sitting up, he once again coolly brushed his bangs aside and said, "So, how is it? Am I handsome?"

Soon, both the criminal and the child boarded the vehicle, and the entire street returned to its original tranquility. The lights gently spilled onto the ground, as if everything that had just occurred was merely an illusion

Indeed, there are many girls who like you, so why don't you go find them? Why do you keep bothering me all day long to play pranks?

My face was burning as if I had a fever. To prevent him from seeing me blush, I hurriedly turned my face away, stood up, and said: "Stop being so vain! With your looks, you call yourself handsome? There wouldn't be any ugly men in Wenfeng City!"

No! It's impossible. He is my mortal enemy, how could I possibly like him? In my heart, there is only one prince, and that is Cai Shiyu. It will absolutely not be this Ye Shengxi, who is always flattering me and loves to boast.

I turned my head to glance at Ye Shengxi and noticed that his hair was already wet, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans sliding down each strand, glistening and translucent. Having carried me for such a long distance just now, he must be exhausted!

The night was very quiet, and the two of us surprisingly did not speak again. I could only feel him glancing at me from the side several times, yet he always seemed hesitant to say anything.

Once again, you are showing off, but...! ... What do you mean by helping with a knife? It is clearly helping with a drawn sword!

Ah! You... My face suddenly turned red. "Ye Shengxi, weren't you asleep? How did you know I was peeking at you?"

I let out a light laugh, and once again, a ripple of happiness stirred within my heart

Ah? So soon?" Ye Shengxi raised his head and glanced at my house, as if wishing the road could be a little longer.

Unknowingly, I had already arrived at the bottom of my building. Turning around, I smiled at him and said, "I am home!"

He is simply the prince charming from a fairy tale! How come I never noticed before that he is so handsome?

Watching him chatter incessantly, even more nagging than my mother, I wanted to laugh, yet I couldn't bring myself to do so. After waving goodbye to him, I turned and walked towards home

Coincidence? If it were a coincidence, would he need to think about it for so long? I looked at him with suspicion and noticed that his face had turned red from lying

Ye Shengxi clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with my words, pouting and murmuring: "I don't know what kind of perspective you have. There are so many girls chasing after me at Wenfeng Academy that they could form a long line! Just you, with your round face..."

Upon entering the house, my mother, seeing me in this state, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, busily applying medicinal alcohol to my wounds while incessantly chattering away.

The quiet street had no pedestrians, nor any vehicles; the summer night breeze blew gently, yet it did not bring a sense of comfort to people

Not handsome! I said insincerely, and then I walked forward with a limp.

I nodded and said, "Yes, Ye Shengxi, thank you for saving me tonight"

I said with a tinge of sympathy: "Alright, it's nothing, let's take a break for now"

Just as I was lost in thought while looking at him, suddenly, Ye Shengxi opened his eyes, revealing his signature mischievous smile, and said: "So, how is it? After watching for so long, do you feel a flutter in your heart?"

Ah? Um... this... he scratched the back of his head and said, "I happened to pass by there!"

Who would have thought that after hearing my words, Ye Shengxi would smirk and say: "Yuan Lulu, why do I feel like you look jealous right now? Don't you like those girls flocking around me?"

Why are you still standing here so late

Just then, it seemed that he also noticed me and hurriedly hid behind the tree trunk

Is it him? He... has not left yet?

What exactly is he losing?

I usually find my mother's nagging quite annoying, but this time, a warm current flowed through my heart

"Yes, yes, yes! There is none! Not a bit!" Ye Shengxi was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and in the end, he whispered, "If there is none, then there is none! Why shout so loudly?"

I truly have no way to deal with him. I shook my head and continued walking forward. However, thinking about those girls circling around him, I did feel a slight discomfort in my heart. As for what that feeling was, I couldn't quite articulate it. ... Could it be ... ? ... Just as he said, have I really developed feelings for him?

Ye Shengxi smiled and nodded, helping me to sit on the stone bench in the small park beside us, while he himself lay down on the grass in a star shape, gasping for breath.

Hey, could you not be so direct? It's quite hurtful to my self-esteem! Am I really not handsome at all in your eyes?

After a long day of turmoil, I have finally returned to my room to rest
