Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

Lu Wanqing grabbed Shen Chuan's arm and pulled him toward the sofa.

"Calm down, Lao Shen. It's all just my guess. What if there's some misunderstanding?"

"If you shout like that, the neighbors will think something's wrong with our house."

Shen Chuan was pressed down on the sofa, his chest was still heaving violently, but his voice had clearly subsided.

He picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip. The tea had gone cold, but he didn't care. He put the cup down and unconsciously tapped his fingers on his knee.

"I just can't stand any member of the opposite sex getting close to our Yiyi, no matter how outstanding they are!"

When he said this, his tone carried a kind of unreasonableness typical of an old father. He knew he was being unreasonable, but he just didn't intend to change.

Lu Wanqing sat down next to him and patted the back of his hand:

"When my daughter comes back, I'll just ask her and I'll know."

When has Yi Yi ever lied to us since she was little? If she says she's going to study, then she most likely is.

As for makeup...maybe it's just because of the pressure of the college entrance exam, and I wanted to cheer myself up.

Shen Chuan sighed helplessly.

That's all we can do now.

He knew his daughter wouldn't do anything outrageous, but knowing that was one thing, a father's instincts were another.

He leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling light, and a picture involuntarily popped into his mind.

His daughter and the young man from Villa No. 1 stood together, chatting and laughing, very close to each other.

He abruptly banished the image from his mind, picked up his herbal tea, and took another sip.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Zhang Yifan jumped up from the sofa, rushed to the entrance, and opened the door.

Shen Zhiyi stood at the door.

He froze for a moment.

Shen Zhiyi's hair, which she usually tied in a ponytail, was loose today, draped over her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled. She tucked it behind her ears, revealing a clean section of her earlobe.

She was wearing a plain short-sleeved shirt and had a canvas bag slung over her shoulder, which probably contained study materials.

He had known Shen Zhiyi for almost three years. He had seen her countless times in the classroom, in the corridor, and in front of the list, but he had never seen her like this before.

Normally, Shen Zhiyi is cold, hard, and like a drawn sword.

Shen Zhiyi now stood before him, bathed in the warm light of the porch, making her appear softer.

He suddenly felt that she looked much prettier than usual today.

She was beautiful before, but that kind of beauty was sharp, keeping strangers at bay.

Today's beauty is soft and gentle, making you want to look at it more.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say "You've come," and then wanted to say "You're different today," but in the end he said nothing and just stood at the door looking at her.

Shen Zhiyi was also looking at him.

She looked up at Zhang Yifan and suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

Zhang Yifan's appearance has not changed at all.

She was still wearing that old T-shirt, still had that face she had seen countless times, and still stood in that same posture.

But for some reason, she felt he looked much more handsome than usual.

Could it be because I had too many random thoughts at home just now, that I have developed a natural filter for him?

Her face began to burn.

Thinking to myself, thankfully I applied a layer of foundation before going out, this blockhead shouldn't be able to tell.

She quickly banished those inappropriate thoughts from her mind, trying to cool her burning face so that Zhang Yifan wouldn't notice anything amiss.

The two of them stood at the door, one holding the doorknob and the other carrying a canvas bag, neither of them saying a word.

The night was quiet, the motion-sensor light on the porch was on, and a few flying insects were circling around the lampshade.

Almost a minute passed...

"You won't let me in?" Shen Zhiyi spoke, her voice regaining its usual calm. "Then should I leave?"

Zhang Yifan then realized what was happening, quickly stepped aside, and hurriedly took out the slippers he had asked the property manager to buy earlier from the shoe cabinet:

"Come in, come in. The slippers are here. These are new and never been worn."

Shen Zhiyi changed her shoes, walked into the living room, and sat down on the sofa.

This isn't my first time here. Last time, the property manager accompanied me the whole time, showing me around the entire building from the first floor to the basement, explaining everything from the fresh air system to the underfloor heating.

At the time, she only thought the house was really big and luxurious, and that was it.

It's different now.

The property manager wasn't there; it was just the two of them in the entire villa.

She sat on the sofa, listening to her own heartbeat echoing in the empty living room, and suddenly felt that the house was a little too big.

Then she saw Zhang Yifan approaching her.

Little by little, his shoulder drew closer and closer, his profile drew closer and closer, and she could even see the fine downy hairs on his face.

An alarm bell rang in her mind.

What is he going to do? Why is he so close? She closed her eyes in nervousness.

However, nothing happened...

She opened her eyes and saw Zhang Yifan looking at her with a puzzled expression.

He was holding an English reading comprehension exercise book, which he had just picked up from the coffee table. Pointing to a question with his other finger, he asked suspiciously, "Why are you closing your eyes?"

Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ? ? ?

Shen Zhiyi's mind went blank for a fraction of a second.

Shen Zhiyi: ......

She knew it! How could that blockhead do such a thing! She had definitely overestimated him!

She looked at the English reading comprehension paper in Zhang Yifan's hand, then at his sincere and guileless face, and quickly packed up the imagined scene in her mind and threw it into the non-recyclable trash can.

She cleared her throat expressionlessly: "It's nothing, I just got some water in my eyes."

Zhang Yifan put down the test paper, moved closer, and stared intently into her eyes.

His face was about a fist's distance from hers; she could even feel the warmth of his breath.

"Which eye got fogged up? The left or the right? Let me blow on it for you."

Shen Zhiyi's mind exploded again.

His Adam's apple was right in front of her, and it moved slightly up and down as he spoke.

She stared at that curve for a fraction of a second, and a thought popped into her head.

Is this what a boy's Adam's apple looks like?

It looks rock hard...

It feels kind of sexy, I really want to touch it...

However, her hands were faster and more honest than her brain.

Her fingertips touched his Adam's apple; it was warm and slightly hard, and slid gently under her fingertips as he swallowed.

His skin temperature traveled up through her fingertips, and her heart pounded like a drum.

Zhang Yifan's body visibly stiffened for a moment, but he did not dodge.

He looked down at her hands, then looked up into her eyes.

His face turned red at a visible speed.

He didn't dodge, nor did he shake off Shen Zhiyi's hand and say, "This is a different price."

His voice was a little hoarse:

What are you doing?
