479 The Secret About the Past 97 (1/2)
Long Xiaoxi began to panic. ”Brother Yiheng, why aren't you speaking?”
”I… I… Xiaoxi, let's go out to play.”
Long Xiaoxi hugged him and said, ”I'm asking you. Do we get to do those things drawn on the book when we're older?”
”Yes…”
Long Xiaoxi looked up at him and chuckled before saying, ”Brother Yiheng, you're blushing like a tomato. Are you getting shy?”
”Of course not.”
”You're still trying to deny it.” She tiptoed to kiss him and said, ”Brother Yiheng, from now onwards, I've reserved you.”
He reached out to touch his lips and looked down at her in astonishment.
Long Xiaoxi smiled at him and said, ”I just remembered that Brother Minhe is still waiting for me. I'm going home first.”
She left the room, swaying her chubby body from side to side. Jin Yiheng stood rooted to the ground, the shock robbing him of his senses.
Long Xiaoxi entered her house to see that Zhong Minhe was sitting on the swing alone.
She scurried towards him and exclaimed, ”Brother Minhe!”
”Xiaoxi, where did you go?”
”I went to Brother Yiheng's house.” Long Xiaoxi sat down beside him, grinning widely as she could not contain her happiness.
”What's the joyous occasion?” Zhong Minhe asked in puzzlement.
”I… I kissed Brother Yiheng. He was dumbstruck,” she said softly.
Zhong Minhe stared wide-eyed at her in astonishment.
”Xiaoxi, do you fancy him a lot?”
Long Xiaoxi nodded without hesitation and answered, ”Of course, I'm going to bear Brother Yiheng's children when I grow up. I've thought about it. I want to give birth to ten children.”
Being a naturally introverted and emotionally sensitive, Zhong Minhe was at a loss for words and remained silent upon hearing her words, which had upset him.
”What's wrong with you?”
Shaking his head, he said, ”Nothing. If only I was able-bodied, I'd be able to hold your hand too. I can also protect you from bullies and beat them up for you.”
”Brother Minhe, you're so nice to me. But my brother will stand up for me when I get bullied. He dotes on me the most.”
”That's different.”
”…”

Two days flew by quickly. Jin Qingyue began to calm her emotions gradually.
The two of them had yet to meet again, ever since the time she tried to seduce Ling Ciye in a drunken stupor. They did not contact each other either.
Jin Qingyue thought to herself that Ling Ciye must have detested her and despised her for being a superficial woman.
After she truly got a grip on her emotions and thought the matter through with a clear mind, Jin Qingyue realized that she had been too casual, though she did not regret it at all.
She sat on the couch, hugging her knees as a million thoughts filled her mind.
Her phone began to ring all of a sudden while she was deep in her thoughts.
To her surprise, it was a call from Ling Ciye. Her heart began to race immediately and she stared at the caller display, a little afraid to answer.
After the mobile phone rang for a while, Jin Qingyue mustered up the courage to answer the call. She swiped her finger across the screen gently and said, ”Brother Ciye…”
A moment of silence later, Ling Ciye asked, ”Are you free now?”
”Yes.”
”Let's have dinner together.”
”Okay.”
Jin Qingyue was immensely agitated and overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. What does this mean? This…
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed like a good sign.
She hurriedly proceeded to take a shower, after which she dried her hair, applied some makeup, put on a dress along with a pair of matching heels, and left the house merrily with her purse in hand.
She decided not to drive, thinking that it would be better to let him send her home instead. Thus, she hailed a taxi and headed towards the restaurant they agreed to meet at.
It began pouring right after she arrived at the door of the restaurant. Jin Qingyue counted her blessings, feeling lucky to have escaped the rain.
