Wen Ruoshui had not expected the old woman to tell her this. While she felt a little embarra.s.sed, her heart also warmed. She nodded and said gratefully, “I understand, Grandma.”
Chu Chu said that in China, the parents of the men were all on the man’s side. If their child was in love, they could not wait for their son to sleep with the girl. Very few parents of the men would consider the girl.
Grandma Yan left.
Wen Ruoshui turned around to go home, but Yan Yuanfei followed her.
Wen Ruoshui turned around and pushed him. “Grandma said to let you go back to your own house.”
!!
Yan Yuanfei looked innocent. “I’ll go back and help you pack your things before returning to my own house. Ms. Wen, don’t worry. I’m a gentleman.”
Wen Ruoshui smiled. “Who would praise themselves as a gentleman? Normally, those who say they’re good are bad people. Go home quickly. I’ll clean up myself.”
Besides, there was nothing to pack. They had not eaten much, only some roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts. There were also a few skewers. They just had to collect the trash.
“Then I’ll be leaving.” Yan Yuanfei scratched the tip of her nose lovingly and put on her hat. “Go back quickly. It’s so cold outside.”
Wen Ruoshui looked up at him. When she met the man’s gentle and long eyes, she was moved. A sly look flashed across her eyes as she pointed at the sky and exclaimed, “A s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p!”
Yan Yuanfei suddenly looked up.
Wen Ruoshui tiptoed and planted a kiss on the man’s cheek at lightning speed. Afraid of being discovered, she turned around and ran like a thief.
Yan Yuanfei felt his face heat up. The gentle touch made his heart melt. In a moment, the young lady had already run away. He reached out and only managed to grab the corner of her s.h.i.+rt.
Wen Ruoshui ran to the courtyard and waved at him without daring to look back. “Mr. Yan, see you tomorrow.”
Yan Yuanfei smiled happily. His s.e.xy voice was hoa.r.s.e as he looked at her back. “See you tomorrow.”
He reached out and touched his lower cheek with a smile. The warmth of her lips seemed to still linger on it.
He would let her off this time.
Next time.
She would not be able to escape.
Wen Ruoshui’s heart raced as she ran to the living room in one breath. She patted her heart and secretly turned to look at the door.
The man was still standing at the door. When he saw her turn around, his lips curled up lovingly. He waved his hand and said loudly, “I’m really leaving.”
Before Wen Ruoshui could say that he should leave quickly, she saw a black and furry thing suddenly rush over from not far away. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she screamed, “Help!”
Yan Yuanfei was about to leave when he heard the young lady’s panicked scream. His expression changed as he took out his gun and rushed in. “Shui Shui, come here.”
There were guards all around, so they would definitely not let the a.s.sa.s.sin in. He did not sense any danger either.
Wen Ruoshui threw herself into his arms, trembling in fear, her face as pale as paper.
Yan Yuanfei’s voice was tense as he protected her in his embrace. He looked around warily. “What’s wrong? What did you see?”
Wen Ruoshui was scared out of her wits. She stuttered and was about to cry. “Rat! There’s a rat!”
Upon hearing that it was a rat, Yan Yuanfei finally felt relieved. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Upon seeing how scared she was, his heart ached as he hugged her and comforted her gently. “It’s alright. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
She was a medical student and had studied medicine since she was young. Logically speaking, a person who was not even afraid of corpses would not be afraid of small rats. Didn’t they have to dissect white mice in anatomy cla.s.s?
“Did it leave? Is it still there?” Wen Ruoshui lay in his embrace, not daring to look up. Her voice was still trembling.
“It’s no longer around.” Yan Yuanfei’s heart ached, but he also felt that such a timid her was so adorable that his heart melted. “Are you afraid of rats?”
Wen Ruoshui nodded obediently and turned around vigilantly to scan the living room. When she did not see any rats, she heaved a sigh of relief and asked aggrievedly, “Why are there rats?”
Yan Yuanfei asked, “Aren’t rats common at home?”
Wen Ruoshui shook her head. “I’ve never seen such a big rat overseas. It’s too scary.”
She was not afraid of anything. What kind of surgery had she not undergone? She had also dissected a corpse, but the only thing she was afraid of was rats. The feeling of fur on her body made her hair stand on end.
In her university anatomy cla.s.s, she had never dissected a rat before. It was really because she could not overcome the fear in her heart. She had tried countless methods to force herself to dissect it. She had even gone to a psychologist for this problem, but it was useless.
“I’ll get Yu Bo to bring people to clean up the house tomorrow and clean up the rats.” Yan Yuanfei half-hugged her and walked in.
Wen Ruoshui grabbed his arm and carefully walked as if she was walking on thin ice. Every step she took, she would take a look, afraid that a rat would suddenly appear from a corner.
Yan Yuanfei led her to the sofa and got up.
Wen Ruoshui held his hand tightly and looked at him pitifully. “Where are you going?”
Yan Yuanfei patted her head comfortingly. “I’ll get you a gla.s.s of water to calm you down.”
Only then did Wen Ruoshui let go and drink a big gla.s.s of water in one go. Her heart was still beating wildly, and her nerves were tense. She looked under the sofa. “Could it be hidden there?”
Yan Yuanfei did not know, but seeing how scared she was, he comforted her. “No, it’s already been scared away by me. It won’t come back.”
Wen Ruoshui did not believe it. She kept feeling that there might be many rats hiding in those dark corners. Just thinking about it made her hair stand on end. She did not dare let Yan Yuanfei go.
Yan Yuanfei slept in the second bedroom next to hers. Upon seeing her fall asleep, he covered her with a blanket. “Goodnight.”
Wen Ruoshui opened her eyes and watched him leave. When she saw that he was about to turn off the lights, she hurriedly sat up. “Don’t turn off the lights.”
“Okay.” Yan Yuanfei wanted to stay with her, but he was afraid that she would think too much. She liked to let her imagination run wild. “Call me if you need anything. I’ll be next door.”
Wen Ruoshui watched as the man closed the door and listened to his footsteps disappear. When she heard him open the door and close it, she tiptoed out of bed and opened the door slightly.
The night was very quiet.
She lay on the bed, feeling that she could hear rustling sounds. Every dark place that the light could not reach was very suspicious, like the sound of rats chewing on something.
No matter how much she tried to hypnotize herself or fall asleep, she failed. The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. What if the rat ran to the bed and jumped on her?
In the end, she could not take it anymore and got off the bed with a bolster.
Yan Yuanfei had yet to fall asleep when he heard the door open. When he opened his eyes, he saw the young lady at the door hugging a big bolster and looking at him without blinking.
