âDid I say something wrong?â Luo Yuwei saw his silence and hurriedly tried to mend the situation, âYe Xian, donât get me wrong, actually, I meant to say, if you want to land the role of Shen Jinyou, I can help you.â
There it was again.
A myriad of curses raced through Ye Xianâs mind.
âDid you and Jiang Wanze discuss this already?â
âWhat?â Luo Yuwei was surprised, âWanze, said the same thing to you?â
âYeah, just mentioned it yesterday.â
âI didnât know⦠I just thought of it today when I saw you.â
âThen you two must really be on the same wavelength,â Ye Xian said casually, but Luo Yuwei seemed a bit sensitive, âWanze and Iâ¦thereâs nothing between us.â
Nothing?
Ye Xian raised an eyebrow. Their relationship hadnât started developing yet? Werenât they together at the auction?
âBrother Ye!â
As they were speaking, a crisp female voice came through.
Bo Xiaoli had taken a shower, applied a lively young girl makeup, and dressed in a JK uniform skirt, she rushed in, pushing Luo Yuwei who was beside Ye Xian to the side.
The girl looked at him with both anticipation and shyness, plainly waiting for a compliment.
Ye Xian: âVery cute, very innocent.â
âReally? This is a new JK set I just got, and I was worried it wouldnât look good!â
âWhen youâre good-looking, anything looks good on you.â
âThank you, Brother Ye~â
Bo Xiaoli gazed at him with adoration.
âWho wouldnât you find good-looking?â
A low, magnetic male voice came from the doorway, sending a shiver down Ye Xianâs spine, startling her.
At the doorway, Bo Tingshen had been standing there for who knows how long, now looking at her with a cool expression.
Ye Xian picked up a fork from the table and stealthily waved it at him, her delicate, pink lips quietly forming a wordâYou.
Moving like a ghost, utterly silent, were you trying to scare someone to death?!
âDo you want to take a closer look?â
The man stepped into the kitchen, Bo Xiaoli gasped in surprise, and Luo Yuwei also looked incredulous. Seeing their expressions, Ye Xian felt a bit uneasy inside.
What did this mean? Was he coming over to start a fight?
She couldnât help but tighten her grip on the fork. Bring it on, whoâs afraid of who!
âNo need, Iâm not blind!â
Bo Xiaoli: âCousin, arenât you the one with severe germophobia who never enters the kitchen?â
Ye Xian: âThat excuse might fool the kids, but âsevere germophobiaâ is just an excuse for being too lazy to do chores.â
âSo you think you know me well?â
Bo Tingshen slowly approached her. Ye Xian, holding the fork, instinctively stepped back, âYou⦠donât come any closer, if you take one more step, Iâll⦠Iâll call your mom!â
Bo Xiaoli laughed, Brother Ye is so cute; too bad my cousin isnât afraid of auntie at all.
Bo Tingshen turned to look at the dishes on the counter, âWhat else is left to be done?â
âThereâs stillâ¦â Luo Yuwei regained her composure, âSome wrapped zongzi left, but since there are no bamboo tubes here, letâs not make them today.â
Bo Xiaoli: âWho says we donât have any? Thereâs a bamboo forest behind my cousinâs house. We could go there and cut some fresh ones.â
As she said this, she nestled against Ye Xian, âCousin, you and Sister Luo make zongzi here, Brother Ye, Iâll go with you to cut the bamboo, okay?â
There were too many people here; she wanted to be alone with Brother Ye.
âOkay!â
Ye Xian didnât want to stay a moment longer in this suffocating space, âYou go ahead, Iâll go wash my hands in the bathroom and then head there.â
âOkay, itâs just behind the mountain!â
