The fragrance of cheap makeup assaulted her nostrils. Song Xiangsi's breathing stagnated as she turned around and pulled Meng Huaxuan along with her as she quickly walked out.
When she was completely away from this street, she took a deep breath and thought to herself, "It's great to be able to breathe freely!"
Meng Ling Xuan didn't like that kind of place either. He rubbed his shoes in disgust, feeling slightly dirty. In the blink of an eye, he saw Song Xiang's face turn red from holding back his anger. He could not help but smile with a hint of ridicule.
"What are you doing taking me to a place like that?"
Song Xiangsi's expression stiffened as she rolled her eyes inwardly. How could she have known that she would end up in such a place just because she was strolling aimlessly?
She bit her lips, her pure-white teeth lightly biting on her dark red lips, making her look particularly alluring.
"I... I... I'm just curious about what kind of place it is, but now that I know, it's better not to go there after I've made my decision. "
Meng Ling Xuan gave her a sidelong glance. He pursed his lips, the color in his eyes darkening. "Are you curious?"
He chuckled softly, his voice low and magnetic. "What are you curious about, the people in there, or what they're doing?"
As he said that, he lifted his hand and wrapped his arm around Song Xiangsi's slim waist, pinning her against the wall.
Song Xiangsi was caught off guard. By the time she reacted, she was already imprisoned in the arms of the man. They were so far away that she could almost hear the heartbeat coming from his chest. It was steady and powerful.
She swallowed her saliva and a smear of red slowly climbed onto her face. Her big black eyes were watery. Her peach-like lips opened and closed, and a soft voice came out from within.
"You … You... "Let go."
Her heart beat faster, and she was a little infuriated by what she had said. She lowered her head, feeling embarrassed and annoyed at the same time.
Meng Fanxuan lowered his gaze. His throat was rolling as he quietly looked away. If he continued to watch this scene, he was afraid that he would have to do something like an animal or beast.
Song Xiangsi was extremely embarrassed. She lifted her hand to push him. When her fingers landed on his chest, it was so hot that she jumped in fright and quickly retracted her hand.
He pursed his lips and felt something pressing against his waist. It was getting bigger.
Her face turned even redder. Even though she had never been in a relationship nor had she come into close contact with a man in her two lifetimes, she had taken quite a number of physique classes in her previous life and wasn't too unfamiliar with this thing.
No matter how foolish he was, he knew that it was a man who fell in love.
She jumped in fright, losing all thoughts of being charming and struggling. "Hurry up and let me go, let me go …"
She was terrified.
While struggling randomly, he would always accidentally touch that place. Meng Fangxuan gave a muffled grunt, and a faint redness appeared on his handsome white face.
"Don't move!" He let out a low growl. His voice was extremely suppressed, as if something was about to come out.
Song Xiangsi was so frightened that she did not dare to move. She could feel that the temperature of a man's body was frighteningly hot.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, she was very careful. She didn't even dare to breathe out, just like a small rabbit.
Meng Ling Xuan found this funny. He wanted to tease her, but lowered his head slightly. His exquisite chin rested lightly on her shoulder, and he gently rubbed it as he exhaled deeply.
"If you move again, I can't guarantee what will happen next, can I?"
"Bastard!" Song Xiangsi gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire. She glared angrily at him, but did not dare to make another move.
"Heh — —" Meng Ling Xuan started chuckling softly again. His voice was quiet and magnetic like the ripples of a water wave, gently rippling in Song Xiangsi's ears.
He was also afraid that if he really angered others, his dinner would be ruined. He quickly let go of his hand, took two steps back, and took a deep breath.
As if he had been pardoned, Song Xiangsi stepped out of the room as soon as the oppressive aura around her disappeared. She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would be pressed against the wall again.
He took in a deep breath. While he felt infuriated in his heart, he also felt a trace of a peculiar feeling assaulting his heart. It was sweet and happy.
Meng Ling Xuan slightly adjusted his breathing, took a deep breath, raised his head, and chased after them.
Song Xiangsi was still holding back her anger. She ignored him and walked back to the gate of the city before getting on the ox-cart.
Just like before, the two of them did not speak at all. One of them walked forward silently while the other followed silently, not speaking at all.
The two of them rode an oxcart to the town, Song Xiangsi went to the school to pick up her younger brother and sister.
It was just after school time, many students came out from the entrance. Song Xiaoxiao and Song Cheng were holding each other's hand as they walked out with two books in their hands. When they saw Song Xiangsi, they ran over in surprise.
"Elder sister …"
Song Xiaoxiao was wearing a new skirt. She turned around in front of her elder sister, smiled, and said proudly, "Big Sis, the dress you made is so pretty. The little sisters in the academy all said that I'm wearing something like a fairy."
When Song Xiangsi saw her two adorable siblings, the pent-up anger in her heart dissipated in an instant. It was as if she was pushing away the clouds to see Yue Ming.
She pursed her lips into a smile, lifted her sister into her arms, and said with a smile, "Our family's Xiaoxiao is beautiful, and she dresses like a fairy."
Song Xiaoxiao was extremely happy and laughed at her teasing.
Song Cheng was a boy, so he was much steadier. He didn't rush over to hug her, but he was still smiling as he watched his sister. He was obviously very happy too.
Meng Fangxuan smiled as he walked forward and picked up Song Cheng. He turned around and looked at Song Xiangsi, "Come, let's go home."
As he spoke, he turned to Song Chengcheng and asked, "What has the teachers taught today …?"
Song Xiangsi smiled and followed behind with Song Xiaoxiao in her arms. The four of them chatted and laughed as they went to the butcher's shop to buy meat. Afterwards, they slowly made their way home.
He did not notice that there was a person sitting at a tea stand not far away from the academy's entrance.
Song Dabao wore gray clothes. In order not to be recognized by Song Xiangsi, he even wore a large straw hat to cover his face.
He stared at the entrance of the academy and watched as Song Xiangsi and co walked far away. He gritted his teeth and a hint of regret and pity flashed past his eyes. He raised his hand and finished the cup of tea in one gulp, thinking to himself that he would find an opportunity to intercept them in the future!
On the other side, along the way, Song Xiangsi kept thinking about what had happened today. She felt as if something had flashed by in her mind and she was about to lose her grip on it.
As soon as she returned home, she cooked two simple servings of food and ate them absent-mindedly. Then she went back to her study, closed the door, and locked herself in.
Meng Ling Xuan glanced at her, then turned around and led his younger brother and sister to the courtyard to practice their boxing, checking on their recent training progress.
