29 Humph! You Are So Annoying~! (1/2)

”Hmm? Can't I come?” Su Yeyue got a little angry when she heard Ye Xiao. Her little pretty nose wrinkled as she said, ”Sooner or later, it will become my house too! I will be the vice-chairman here! I am here to check my residence in advance! Can't I do that? Listen to you. You don't want me to be here from deep within your heart, do you?”

She humphed and started to twist the whip in her hands. She squinted at Ye Xiao with a look like 'I will whip you to death if you ever dare to piss me off again'.

She intentionally showed a dark look to Ye Xiao, but it turned out to be so adorable that he didn't even feel the least bit threatened.

He had not been in the mood, but she had actually amused him. The words she said, 'will become my house too', 'the vice-chairman', 'check my residence in advance'... he found them really funny.

As she had behaved like this, maybe Su Yeyue actually didn't feel any antipathy towards Ye Xiao. Maybe she had already given in to her fate, so she cared no more about it, but it still revealed her true personality.

”Heyyy, what are you talking about?” Ye Xiao tried to comfort her, ”How could I possibly not welcome you? I am super happy that you came to my house. Oh no, our house.”

”Humph!” Su Yeyue acted like the boss of the house and walked around Ye Xiao. Holding her head high with her wrinkled nose, she snuffled a bit and asked interestedly, ”Oh, Xiao-Xiao, how come you smell so good? What are you carrying with you?!”

”What are you talking about? I don't have anything on me!” Ye Xiao contested her claims, but he knew clearly about the origin of his pleasant fragrance.

The reason why he smelled so good was quite simple. He had accomplished ablution of the muscles and bones twice with his body, so most of the impurities in his body had been cleared. His body was pure like a newborn child's body, so it certainly smelled good.

”Yes! You definitely do!” Su Yeyue was quite certain about this fact as she took a closer look at Ye Xiao and smelled him around. Then she murmured with confusion, ”It is not the smell of perfumes for girls... And it is not the smell of a flower... and... Oh? Oh!!”

She found that she was too close to Ye Xiao, and then she looked up and saw Ye Xiao looking at her with a complacent smile. Ye Xiao's pretty face and his soft eyes were really close to her. She could even feel his breath!

She was so shocked that she screamed. She immediately jumped away from him and felt her heart racing. Her pretty face turned red. She suddenly felt awkward and didn't know what to do. She was flustered and embarrassed at the same time. She would have liked to turn around and run out of the house, but she found herself unable to move her legs. Instead, she realized that she would rather stay here than leave.

Ye Xiao felt warmth spreading in his heart as he softly said, ”What an adorable little girl.”

Su Yeyue felt her face quickly heating up as her original beautiful pale white skin quickly obtained a deep shade of red. She managed to stutter out a few words, ”Y... you... you... you are just slightly older than me! Humph, how dare you speak to me with a tone of seniority! I... If you... y... you speak like that again, I... I... I wi... will punch you down!”

Ye Xiao laughed out loud carelessly. He felt pleased from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing his voice and smelling his scent made Su Yeyue's heart beat even faster. The blush on her face didn't vanish; it became even more obvious and cuter.

She suddenly came out with a thought that this guy was to become her husband in the future...

He was to become her husband...

This thought had appeared in her mind and was actually lingering around for a long time. She just couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed.

Before now, Su Yeyue had simply regarded Ye Xiao as her playmate and a man she had been loathly engaged to. Their fates were intertwined because she couldn't disobey her parents. That was it and that was all.

But at this moment, the thought of him becoming her 'husband' that appeared in her mind had truly surprised this vivacious girl.

She lowered her head and stayed quiet for quite a while. When she finally raised her head, she found that Ye Xiao was now sitting on a chair across her, and that he was actually focusing on reading a book.

She finally felt relaxed and felt lucky that he didn't seem to notice her.

But she couldn't help but feel a little bit upset as well. She was wondering why he wasn't looking at her at all.

Then she took a few steps ahead and softly sat in front of him to observe his pretty face. A long time passed in the silence.

After reading the book for a while, Ye Xiao stopped to rest, and only now did he realize that Su Yeyue actually hadn't left. He looked up and saw that she was laying her elbows on the table and bracing her lower jaw. She was looking at him quietly and calmly.

He felt puzzled and asked gently, ”Are you alright?”

Maybe because Ye Xiao had spoken gently, she wasn't startled. She was still calm and a little bit absent-minded as she murmured, ”Xiao-Xiao... You have changed a lot recently...”

”I have changed a lot? Have I?” Ye Xiao frowned.

”Yes... Yes, you have...” She tilted her head and thoughtfully said, ”Your outer appearance hasn't changed... But you used to be very annoying, which made me want to punch you down all the time... As for now... the annoying part is gone... Instead, you are...”

She frowned and tried to organize proper words to clearly describe her feelings. After a while she continued, ”... like... you are composed and credible now... Why is that? And you look like you have many things hidden in your mind, like there are so many stories in your head... That is weird.”

Ye Xiao lifted his eyebrows and smiled.

Changed? Of course he had changed! It would be weird if he had not.
