Chapter 56

To be honest, Ji Yu didn’t wholeheartedly trust the Liang family when she came here because she didn’t know when or where she would suddenly be sold and counting money for them.

But what she didn’t expect was that Bai Yang was also not worthy of her trust, but whenever there was a bit of a breeze, she was the one who was suspected.

But now, there was someone who told her that he was trustworthy and that she could be herself in front of him.

Ji Yu’s nose began to sour again, and her eyes quickly filled with tears, only stubbornly swirling around inside but refusing to fall.

In her teary eyes, she looked at the teenager in front of her, the soft light fell on his handsome nose, the lines of his face looked unusually deep and three-dimensional.

“Senior, I ……”

Ling Yuan raised his hand and lightly brushed her cheek with his fingertips, tears rolled down silently and dripped onto the back of his hand, burning so hot that it almost burned him.

If Ji Yu had looked up at this time, he would have been able to see that the favor and tenderness in his eyes was completely unconcealed.

“Need to lend you a shoulder?”

He asked.

“Yes.”

The young girl’s voice was still nasal, and her head just leaned over.

Ling Yuan didn’t expect her to immediately come over when she said she wanted it, and when a warm breath came from his shoulder, he stiffened his arms and didn’t dare to move.

The two of them were so close that Ling Yuan could smell the familiar candy-flavored sweetness of her body, which was refreshing.

Before he met Ji Yu, Ling Yuan had always felt that women were troublesome creatures, the prettier they were, the more trouble they were in, and they would play with their minds.

But now, when the girl was obediently picking at his shoulder, relying on him with her heart full of eyes, he felt that as far as this would go, even if she wanted the stars and the moon, he would try his best to pick them for her to coax her to be happy.

Why is she so well-behaved?

So well-behaved that one couldn’t bear to deny her the slightest request, and it would be ten evils to do so.

Heart thumping, he wanted to ……

Ling Yuan subconsciously moved over a bit, and suddenly heard the little girl beside him with an apologetic voice, “Sorry, senior, for getting your clothes wet.”

At first hearing Ling Yuan’s words, Ji Yu was really touched, but she was also sober enough to know that he wasn’t who she was, and that she couldn’t give an inch just because the other party was nice to her.

She quickly sorted out her emotions and stared at the wet spot on Ling Yuan’s shoulder, her face full of apologies.

The warm breath moved away, also taking away that sweet scent, Ling Yuan’s heart was frustrated, he moved his shoulders that were a bit stiff, and laughed lightly, “As I just said, you don’t need to apologize, but~ Chi Little Fish, these clothes are very expensive, so you can instead think about how to compensate me?”

Ji Yu’s attention is diverted, “You, what compensation do you want?”

Ji Yu raises her eyes and sees Ling Yuan looking at her, her face is a little hot and the tips of her ears are red.

Just now, she dropped her tears in front of him again, and even made someone’s clothes wet.

Ling Yuan stared at her without blinking, naturally taking her reaction in, looking twice at her small, slightly red ears, his fingers itching a little.

Hooking up a smile, he propped his hand on the table and leaned over, “What kind of compensation ah~ Wait for me to think about it, Ji Xiaoyu, my favors aren’t that good to be owed oooh, moreover, I’ve helped you more than just once, right?”

“Right, so what does senior want? In advance, it has to be within my ability, I can’t accept anything beyond that.”

“Then, treat me to a meal first, we’ll talk about the rest later, this request isn’t too much, right?”

This is simple, Ji Yu readily agreed, “Good, what would senior like to eat?”

“I’ll tell you when I think of it.”

“Good.”

Speaking of eating, Ji Yu suddenly thought of something, “Senior, you made all the snacks we ate before, right?”

She was crying just now, but didn’t miss his every word, she heard him clearly, he said he made that noodle.

“Ahem~”

Ling Yuan clenches his fist to his mouth, coughs twice, and graciously admits, “Well, I made it.”

Ji Yu comes closer to him and stares into his eyes like he did just now, “Then why did you say it was packed outside in the first place? Afraid that I’ll say it’s not good and dislike it?”

Ling Yuan’s eyes were full of smiles, this girl was getting bolder and less defensive towards him, which was a good thing.

“Well~ I don’t want to lose face?”

No matter what, that was the first time he made something for a girl to eat, or a beloved girl, of course he would be a little apprehensive, that’s why he subconsciously said it was packed outside.

A teenager in love, naturally wanting to bring out all the good sides of himself.

“I can’t imagine that a person like senior would also care about other people’s opinions ah~”

Ji Yu stared into his eyes as if she had discovered a new continent, her eyebrows arched and smiled into two crescent moons.

The street lamp next to the pavilion leaked a tiny light through the gap, projecting on top of her head, that bright smile fell into Ling Yuan’s eyes, like a bright moon, he suddenly smiled.

“Chi Xiaoyu…I don’t care about what others think, what I care about is what you think of me.”

The young man’s tone was serious, the corners of his mouth hooked up in a slight arc, and the pupils of his eyes shone with dots of, broken streams of light.

Hearing his words, Ji Yu’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, four eyes facing each other, his dark eyes laced with the light spread down from the street lamp, Ji Yu saw her shadow in his eyes.

Ji Yu suddenly thought of a sentence: you are the eternal reflection in my eyes.

Eternal ……

The word was so distant.

She froze, not knowing why she came up with this sentence.

As if she couldn’t stand the scorching heat in his eyes, she slightly lowered her eyes and softly said, “Hmm? Is senior asking me for a compliment? Senior is already so good enough, to leave a way to live for others ah.”

“Not enough, you praise?”

“Really want to praise ah?”

Ji Yu raised his eyes and met his gaze again.

The young man in front of her had an outstanding posture, a smile that was soothing, that was the youthfulness of the spirit!

Where does he need her to praise him?

He himself was the most dazzling existence.

Ling Yuan gazed at her, her eyes were clean and clear, like a fresh spring water, softly rippling through one’s heart, tickling the heart.

“To be.”

He did not lack compliments, however, he lacked encouragement from his sweetheart.

Compliment what?

Compliment him on his jade tree? Or reckless panache? Or his exceptional talent?

Whichever one was not enough to describe the man in front of him.

“Senior, you must have heard too many flattering words, but in my heart, senior is a very good and nice person.”

A very good person, other than her father Chi Zhao, Ling Yuan counted as one.

So good that she kept telling herself in her head that they weren’t in the same world and to stay away, yet she was powerless to resist his proximity.

“Ji Xiaoyu, your adjectives are really lacking enough, are your language grades masked?”

The teenager lowered his eyes, a smile in his eyes, “But …… I like to hear it~”

His trailing voice dragged long, signaling that he was in a good mood at the moment.

Being so blunt, he heard Ji Yu’s ears heat up, “Of course not.”
