"Be careful!" Hai Xiao Min reminded with a slightly nervous tone.

Shua! With a light in her hand, the situation in the stairwell became clear.

Hai Xiaoming held up his flashlight and shone it at the top of the corridor. "My house is on the fifth floor."

"Oh." Ling Yao replied obediently.

Yes, he answered as obediently as a child, or it could be said that he was now like a child afraid of losing himself, and did not let go of her!

"So can you come down now?" Hai Xiao Min tilted her head and patiently said to the man who was resting her chin on his shoulder.

"Hai Xiaomin, are you still a woman?" Ling Yao, on the other hand, looked at her who was just inches away from him, and it wasn't hard to hear a trace of dislike and doubt in his voice.

"…"

Hai Xiaoming stood there motionlessly, silently clenching her fist. Someone's hand was on her chest, while asking this kind of neurotic question.

Should she learn this skill some other day? It would be amazing if she fell off her shoulder at a time like this!

Ling Yao knew when to stop, and was afraid that if she struggled, he might encounter injuries on her body. He let go of Hai Xiao Min and asked in confusion: "Why are you not afraid of the dark?"

Seeing that he was serious and didn't seem to be acting, Hai Xiao Min suddenly had nowhere to go and could only pretend to be even more so as she lowered her voice and shouted: "Ah ~ I'm scared, I'm so scared, I'm satisfied?"

Ye Ci rolled her eyes and continued walking upstairs snappily with her flashlight in hand.

She didn't know whether he was really a fool or just faking it. No matter how scared she was of the dark, why would she be afraid of a living person like him?

Thinking of this, Hai Xiaoming was slightly startled.

Was it because there was someone to accompany her that she was not afraid of, or because this person was Ling Yao, that she was not afraid at all?

He raised his head to look at her skinny and somewhat stubborn back. Even if it was his first time being despised as retarded by others, he did not have the slightest bit of vexation. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up into an extremely shallow arc.

Although she didn't say it out loud, it was clear that she still had some air in her stomach from touching her bottom line.

He was indeed not good at coaxing women, but what could he do? If he provoked a woman, who wouldn't he coax?

Before the lights disappeared around the corner, Ling Yao followed them.

Carefully opening the door with her key, she turned on the light in the living room. The cold and empty atmosphere in the room assaulted him, only then did Hai Xiaomin realize that she was too busy to remember that his father slept at work today and her mother also said hello to him.

In fact, because of something that had happened the previous two days, she should not have gone home tonight.

"Take a seat." Hai Xiao Min casually threw the keys on the shoe cabinet, threw the bag on the sofa and went to heat water for tea.

Ling Yao walked through the door. His gaze roughly swept across the living room's furnishings before finally landing on the bunch of keys beside him …

"Tea and coffee?" Hai Xiao Min's voice came from the kitchen.

"Coffee, thank you." Ling Yao sat down in front of the sofa.

After a while, Hai Xiaomin put down a cup of fragrant coffee in front of him.

"It's done." Ling Yao was not picky, but the boiling water was too hot. He picked up his cup and blew on it, "Is Auntie not home?"

"He's not back yet." There was a slight change in Hai Xiao Min's expression. She quickly covered it up, got up and was about to run to the kitchen when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a big hand.

Ling Yuan pulled her hand and said in a low voice, "Stop messing around, just organize yourself first."

After he reminded her, Hai Xiao Min realized that she looked very miserable right now. She smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go pack up first. I'll leave the TV on the tea table."

Ling Yao switched on the television, but didn't have the mood to watch. He pressed the mute button, stood up, and walked around the living room as he sized up everything.

Ten minutes later, Hai Xiaomin came out of the bathroom. Ling Yao was still looking in the living room, which was thirty square meters big, but it was not as big as his bathroom.

Hearing the noise, he turned around.

Not only did Hai Xiaomin take off her makeup, she also took a shower. Wearing her baby sponge nightgown, she wiped her wet hair and came out of the bathroom.

Ling Yao's gaze fell onto her body and never shifted away. His pitch-black eyes shone with a peculiar gentleness.

"What's wrong? "These clothes don't look good?" Hai Xiao Min felt very uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Good." Ling Yuanzhi smiled faintly. He wore a perfectly fitting suit, showing the man's elegant and cold side. He rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something, "Sit on the sofa, I'll help you wipe your hair."

"Huh?" Hai Xiao Min almost thought that something was wrong with her ears. He, wanted to help her wipe her hair?

However, the man had already walked over, "What are you waiting for? "Come here."

"Oh." Hai Xiao Min went over and sat down. Ling Yao sat on the arm of the sofa and took a towel to help her gently wipe his hair.

His every move and gesture had affected her subtle mind.

When she was young, her father had told her that a man would only wipe his hair for three times in his life. His mother, his wife, and his daughter were nothing to her.

Remembering his disapproval towards her not long ago, Hai Xiaomin quickly came back to her senses. This was probably another common way for him to make a woman happy, right?

Ling Yao's skill in this aspect was terrifyingly high, almost causing her to fall into his trap.

When he was almost done wiping, Ling Yao suddenly leaned over and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

The man's handsome face was covered with all the light she could see. Hai Xiaomin subconsciously opened her bright eyes and held her breath.

"Mmm, it's pretty much gone." The strength in his hands suddenly disappeared, along with the shadow above his head.

Ling Yao shifted his butt and sat in the empty seat on the other side of her. Pulling her slender little hand, he observed the scratches on her arm while asking in a normal tone: "Do you have any more of the medicine I gave you last time?"

"This is just a small injury, don't worry." Hai Xiaoming comforted her, looking at the man's focused face, she smiled bitterly, "It seems like every time I'm in my worst state, you will meet me. Do you think you're a natural counter to me?"

Ling Yuanzhi shot her a sidelong glance. It was a coincidence that he was present every time. This could always be blamed on him. Dou Er wasn't wronged by him!

Noticing the bitterness in the man's eyes, Hai Xiao Min couldn't help but smile. "No matter what you say, thank you for helping me today."

At the critical moment, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his reputation to help her support her back. Although something unpleasant happened later on, at that moment, she was deeply moved.

"Separated so clearly?" Ling Yao quipped, "To be honest, have you ever secretly rejoiced in your heart, hoping that what I said at that time was true?"

What is to be true?

His wife?

Hai Xiao Min curled her lips in disdain, her beautiful eyes were filled with a smile: "Do you think I'm an immature innocent little girl, to be easily fooled by your flowery words?"

The soft light of the lamp set off her smile, making her look playful and cute.
