Little Mr. Yan kicked his little feet to express his refusal.
He lay in Jing Hanchuan’s arms the whole time. It was useless for anyone else to hold him. In the end, he fell asleep and was carried away by Yan Wangchuan. The clothes on Jing Hanchuan’s shoulders were also wet from a certain little fellow’s saliva.
…
The elders slept early, so they naturally wouldn’t stay up late with them for New Year’s Day. Duan Linbai bought some beer and snacks and asked everyone to go to his room to play cards and drink alcohol to celebrate the new year together.
It was rare for them to gather together, and even Yu Manxi nodded in agreement.
Other than Fu Chen and Song Fengwan, who went to send the elders back to their rooms, and Jing Hanchuan, who returned to his room to change his clothes, everyone gathered together.
After Jing Hanchuan changed his clothes and came back, he saw Xu Yuanfei standing by the window and on the phone from afar. Because of the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, there was a layer of white mist on the window. She was reaching out her hand to draw something.
“… I should go back the day after tomorrow. We’re just a group of friends. It’ll be fine.”
The person who called was her mother. Actually, the elders didn’t think much about New Year’s. They all preferred Lunar New Year. But Xu Yuanfei said that she was going out to play with friends this year, so her mother was definitely worried and asked if she was safe.
“Don’t tell me you went out with your boyfriend?”
“How is that possible?” Xu Yuanfei’s finger moved on the glass window, and she actually subconsciously wrote Jing Hanchuan’s name.
If he was really my boyfriend…
That would be good.
“I’m not against you dating. If you think he’s good, bring him home and introduce him to your father and me.”
Xu Yuanfei didn’t say anything.
“Be careful when you’re playing outside. Call me if anything happens,” she reminded, just like an ordinary parent.
“I know.”
While Xu Yuanfei was on the phone with her mother, she absentmindedly reached out her hand and wrote a certain someone’s name on the glass window. Because it was a hotel, it was normal for people to pass by in the corridor. So when a familiar face was reflected in the glass window, she suddenly woke up and almost threw her phone…
“Okay, have fun then. I won’t disturb you anymore. Take care of yourself.” At this moment, the other side ended the call.
Xu Yuanfei turned her head, and Jing Hanchuan was already standing behind her.
“You…”
His eyes didn’t look at her but landed on the glass window behind her. His deep eyes seemed to have a captivating attraction, making her fall into a trance.
“You said I hid your photo, but what are you doing?” Jing Hanchuan reached out past her and pointed at the words on the glass window behind her.
His hand passed through the side of her head. This posture…
It was very much like a standard kabedon1.
Coupled with his head lowered, it was as if he wanted to kiss her. But there seemed to be an immobilization spell cast on her, and she couldn’t move. She could only resign herself to fate.
“I just wrote casually…” Her eyes were flustered, and she looked away guiltily. Her aura had already fallen a lot.
“Casually wrote my name?” There was a hint of probing amusement in his eyes.
“…”
He leaned down, and the distance between the two of them instantly shortened. Their breaths overlapped and entangled, half soothing and half tense.
There was a faint fragrance on her body, and it seemed to be softer and sweeter than any dessert. When he got closer, this feeling…
He was getting a little out of control.
“Hey? Why did you stop talking?” Jing Hanchuan asked in a low voice. His breath was a little hot, and it hit her brain like a ball of fire, rumbling and burning.
The air in the corridor instantly froze. Xu Yuanfei awkwardly and stiffly reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear. She wanted to hide her helplessness, and her eyes hurriedly avoided his in panic.
But everything she was doing now was like a disguised form of seduction in his eyes.
Her fingers were teasing, her eyes were seducing, and even her breathing…
Everything seemed to be bewitching him.
Under the dim yellow light, her entire body looked like soft water, graceful and charming. A hint of a red glow surfaced on her face, like a layer of flirtatious brilliance.
“Didn’t you hide my photo too…” Xu Yuanfei stammered, her voice becoming quieter and quieter.
Jing Hanchuan looked down at her, and a smile appeared on his lips. His throat moved, and he had an uncontrollable urge. Especially after being stimulated by Fu Chen’s proposal today, there was something clamoring in his blood…
He wished he could lower his head and bite her red lips.
His throat was hot and dry as he instinctively lowered his head and leaned forward.
Xu Yuanfei was originally avoiding his gaze. But when she saw something coming from the corner of her eye, her body instinctively dodged. Their heads passed by each other, but the skin of his face lightly rubbed against hers.
It was like there was a rustling electric current, shocking the two of them so much that their bodies stiffened.
Xu Yuanfei shrank back and looked at his face that was inches away in surprise.
He was handsome and unrestrained.
But at this moment, his eyes were full of darkness, making her unable to see through him.
Just now, he…
… wanted to kiss me?
“Let’s go in first.” Jing Hanchuan was a little annoyed. He didn’t know if he was angry because he was too anxious or because his kiss was rejected.
When he turned around to leave, the sense of oppression faded. Xu Yuanfei took a deep breath and followed behind him in frustration.
Her heart was pounding even faster than earlier.
Why did our relationship become so awkward?
It shouldn’t be like this.

When the two of them entered, the atmosphere in the room was already very lively. Fu Chen and Song Fengwan had already returned. Seeing the two of them return, Fu Chen couldn’t help taking a few more glances.
What’s with Hanchuan’s dissatisfied expression?
When he compared it to Xu Yuanfei’s uncomfortable expression, he seemed to have guessed something.
“Did your confession get rejected?”
“What are you talking about?” Jing Hanchuan’s expression was as usual.
“You look unhappy and dissatisfied. If you weren’t rejected, then what is it?” Fu Chen laughed softly. “Can’t you do it?”
Jing Hanchuan clenched his jaw.
But thinking that Xu Yuanfei had actually rejected Jing Hanchuan…
Fu Chen laughed a little wildly.
Jing Hanchuan gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Yuanfei, who was talking to someone, and his eyes darkened even more.
