"Clumsy girl, how did you ever grow up so big?" Du Yanming didn’t feel much pain, but looking at her delicate palm rubbing against his little guy, there was a comfortable feeling that made him not want to let her move her hand away.
So, when she caressed his chin, the man who already had filthy thoughts just went with the flow and gently pressed his big hand against her forehead, tenderly rubbing it.
"I grew up with my Brother Xiao Jiu!" Xie Yuyue replied righteously.
The pain had made her brain go numb, she hadn’t yet grasped the meaning of Brother Du’s words.
"Okay, okay, you have your Brother Xiao Jiu..." The future uncle, the very self-aware and intelligent Du Yanming, immediately smoothed things over, following her proud tone.
One day, he would make the young girl in his arms hold the same regard for his presence.
"Good to know! Dare to bully me, and I’ll have Brother Xiao Jiu beat you up hard!" Xie Yuyue squinted her eyes; as Brother Du rubbed her forehead, she felt the pain subside by more than half.
"By the way, little girl, haven’t you noticed anything wrong?" It was impossible for Yanming to pretend he didn’t know.
This clueless little girl simply knew nothing about the differences between men and women.
This clueless little girl!
"What..." Xie Yuyue blinked her big eyes, then blinked again, hung her head awkwardly, and then suddenly lifted her head to look at Du Yanming, who seemed to understand: "..."
"Ah ah ah~" Xie Yuyue was still a young girl, she had never encountered such a situation and just felt embarrassed, she covered her face with Du Yanming’s chest and screamed sharply.
Du Yanming: "..." She was indeed a little girl, clueless and cute like this; at a time like this, shouldn’t she get up and run to the bathroom by herself?
Feeling like he was bleeding profusely, Du Yanming’s face turned black and purple! By the time she came to her senses on her own, he would have been turned into a bloodied figure.
With that thought, Du Yanming really felt like covering his face. Like this, he could only pick up the little girl, carry her downstairs, throw her into the first-floor bathroom, and told her: "Little girl, you stand firm, take a bath with hot water, I’ll go dry your clothes outside!"
"Hey~" Xie Yuyue weakly leaned against the wall, seeing Brother Du turn on the shower, and only then, with the sound of the water filling the room, did her emotions begin to ease—
"Wash well, it’s started to rain outside, don’t be scared!" As he spoke, Du Yanming strode away, even closing the bathroom door behind him, then rushed upstairs, quickly stripped and changed his own clothes, took a fast hot shower, and quickly took care of himself.
Thinking of the scared little girl downstairs, Du Yanming dashed back down, standing silently outside the bathroom, waiting to hear the sound of water inside, he finally took a deep breath.
Then he turned and went to the balcony, with a black face he threw the little girl’s clothes into the dryer, and then went upstairs to take the dirty clothes down to start the washing machine.
Well, such a display of help, fortunately, was directed at a young girl that caught his eye, otherwise, it would feel too bittersweet—but if it were his own woman, such a small matter would seem insignificant.
Just like her dad said, at every stage of life, there should be a clear plan, and you shouldn’t make irreversible mistakes at the wrong time—and only Brother Xiao Jiu thought dad was right!
Originally, dad had been warning her not to date too early, yet Brother Xiao Jiu who was listening with her nodded earnestly—tch, aside from showing a nice face to the family, Brother Xiao Jiu was always a little black steamed bun to outsiders, how could he possibly be involved in early romance!
It’s just because she was so beautiful~ Surrounded by so many classmates and boys, that her dad noticed and earnestly warned her.
The four younger Xie siblings who listened along all wore serious expressions, only she, the girl who needed to listen, was secretly amused inside—but, she would still listen to her dad’s words.
Whether or not to follow through, that was up to her to decide.
She didn’t want to be like her parents, dedicating all their energy and efforts to the country, while neglecting their own home, leaving them siblings often lacking parental company.
Thinking back to when she was young, remembering how her classmates called her and her siblings orphans—
Shaking off the unpleasant memories, Xie Yuyue quickly put on the clothes in just a moment, tidying herself up, and seeing her pants were dirty again, her face was full of shyness.
Heaven, she was fifteen and it was really the first time she felt so embarrassed!
After dawdling in the bathroom for several minutes, it was better to face the music sooner rather than later, Xie Yuyue opened the bathroom door, only to see Brother Du sitting alone on the sofa, his back to her!
