As Xi Ran was talking with Xiao Tian, her smartphone suddenly rang.
'Someone is calling me.'
Her hands were injured, so she could not pick up the phone immediately.
"Xiao Tian, my phone is ringing. Can you help me take my phone out of my pocket?" she rose to her feet and stood in front of him.
"Alright." He tried to take her phone out of her pocket.
She was placing her smartphone in her front pocket, so it was challenging to grab it. They were only friends, so he was afraid that he would touch her private place.
Sure, they had already had sex once, but it was under the influence of an aphrodisiac.
Because of how long he took the phone, her smartphone stopped ringing when he managed to take her phone out of her pocket.
She did not blame him because she knew why he did not immediately take her phone out of her pocket. "The pin is 2469. Please see who called me just now."
After unlocking her phone, he checked it. "It's your mother."
"Can you video call her?" she knew her mother was looking for her because they did not inform her mother before going to Bungdo Hill.
Yes, she did not want her mother to worry!
"Ran, where are you?" Xi Xingyi asked after picking up the phone.
"I'm at Bungdo Hill with Xiao Tian." Xi Ran gave an honest answer. "Xiao Tian, show your face on the phone."
He was holding her phone, so Xi Xingyi could not see him. "Xingyi, we are at Bungdo Hill now."
"Thank God. I was worried earlier." Xi Xingyi was not jealous; instead, she was happy because this meant his relationship with her daughter had gotten closer.
Xi Ran told him to sit closer to her so that her mother could see them.
"Xiao Tian, show me the scenery there. I want to see it." Xi Xingyi knew the scenery at Bungdo Hill was beautiful because she had visited Bungdo Hill a few times.
He immediately showed the beautiful view around Bungdo Hill through the smartphone.
"It's as beautiful as I remember." Xi Xingyi stated. "I suddenly want to go there too. However, I'm tired now."
"We can come to this place together if you want." Xi Ran uttered, "We can also invite Nichang later."
"Good idea!" Xi Xingyi loved the idea.
After talking for about fifteen minutes, Xi Xingyi hung up the phone.
Like before, Xiao Tian and Xi Ran chatted again. He consumed their snack as he talked to her.
She suddenly wanted to eat the snack too. However, she did not say anything and only glanced at him.
"Lady Xi, this snack is good. Here, try it." He could understand her, so he decided to feed her.
She looked at his handsome face before finally shifting her gaze to the snack in his right hand.
She looked at him again before opening her little mouth and consuming the snack. "Yes. This snack is good."
At that time, he looked like a good boyfriend because he kept taking good care of her. He kept feeding her snacks and giving her a drink.
He also wiped off the snacks on the corner of her lips. Some people even looked at him because they thought he was a young man who took good care of his injured girlfriend.
Yes, the people around him thought she was his lover because they looked like a couple!
As they chatted happily, something unexpected happened.
It suddenly rained!
Luckily, he wore a jacket, so he could use his jacket to protect her from raindrops when they were running to the open-air shelter.
There was only one shelter at the top of Bungdo Hill. Even though the open-air shelter was big, but there were already many people there.
For this reason, only one person could take shelter in that place. Of course, he told her to take the empty seat because he had to take care of her.
Xiao Tian was currently standing in front of Xi Ran, protecting her from the cold wind or wind-blown raindrops.
He also put his jacket on her body so that she would not get wet. Her hands were injured, so her hands should not get wet.
Xi Ran, who was sitting in front of him, kept looking at him. His back was getting wet because of wind-blown raindrops.
Xiao Tian only smiled softly. He did not mind getting wet from protecting her because he was a man and she was his lover's daughter.
Seconds turned into minutes, and without realizing it, it had been fifteen minutes since they were in the open-air shelter.
The rain was getting heavier, and his back was getting wetter because of the raindrops. At this moment, Xi Ran was worried about his condition.
She did not want him to get sick because of her, so she told him to sit. "Xiao Tian, your back is getting wet. Sit with me."
"It's fine." He only smiled because there was no space for him to sit.
To his surprise, she suddenly rose to her feet. "Just sit here. I will sit on your lap later."
Sure, they could become the center of attention, but she did not care because she did not want him to get sick.
Like before, he still refused. "It's fine. It's only rain."
"Then I will stand with you." She would not take no for an answer.
He immediately agreed when he saw her back getting wet from the rain. "Alright."
She instantly sat on his lap. And like what she had guessed, a few people glanced at them after she sat on his lap.
Of course, they were aware of what was happening, but they behaved normally as if these people were air.
"The rain is getting heavier." She placed her hands closer to his chest so that her hands would not get wet from raindrops.
He tidied up his jacket on her body before finally answering, "Yes. It seems like the rain won't stop any time soon."
They stopped talking and looked at their surroundings.
"Xiao Tian, do yo-" she stopped her words halfway.
"Are yo-" he also stopped his words halfway.
There was a reason why they suddenly stopped their words halfway.
It was because their faces were close to each other!
Previously, they turned their heads at the same time, so their faces were close to each other because she was sitting on his lap.
Not only did they stop their words halfway, but they suddenly forgot what they were about to say.
They just stared at each other without saying a word, as if they were statues.
*Two seconds…four seconds…six seconds…
It had been six seconds, but they still looked at each other without saying a single word.
"Ehm!" an old man who sat next to them cleared his throat, giving them a sign to stop lovey-dovey. "We are in a public place. Please restrain yourself."
Xiao Tian and Xi Ran turned their heads to look at the old man.
'But we are not lovey-dovey.'
These were the words that appeared in their minds.
At that time, she forgot that she was still sitting on his lap. "I forgot what I wanted to say earlier. What do you want to say?"
"I also forgot." He gave an honest answer.
