Chapter 383 Nosebleed?
In the bathroom.
Ning Xi lay in the bathtub. At first, she just wanted to take a simple bath, but halfway through, she changed her mind.
White foam covered the surface of the water. Ning Xi's two jade-like arms were exposed to the air, and she played with the foam in front of her like a child. Thinking about how she could move into the lab with Ye Fan tomorrow, a faint dimple bloomed at the corner of her lips.
Due to the heat, a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. After soaking for a while, she couldn't stand the scorching temperature anymore.
Taking a hot bath in the middle of summer was indeed a bit unusual!
But fortunately, no one knew.
After a quick rinse, Ning Xi dried her body, changed into a nightgown, and came out of the bathroom while wiping her dripping wet hair.
The nightgown had a tied-strap design, and since she was in her own room, she just tied it casually. A bit of her astonishingly fair skin was faintly visible. Her hair was still dripping with water, and her exposed skin was flushed pink.
"Late wind blows through the white strands at your temples…"
The girl hummed softly as she walked toward the vanity mirror, but after only a few steps, she realized something was wrong.
She stared blankly at Ye Fan, who was sitting in front of the vanity mirror. Her first reaction was that she was hallucinating.
At this time, Ye Fan should definitely be in his own room sleeping.
Hallucination, this must be a hallucination!
Ning Xi raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and because of this action, her nightgown slipped down slightly again from her shoulder.
Ye Fan swallowed hard. Even though he had a calm personality, at this moment, his defenses completely collapsed.
The two stared at each other for about five seconds. Suddenly, two streaks of red flowed from Ye Fan's nose. At this point, all his attention was on Ning Xi, and he didn't even notice his own condition.
Ning Xi blinked in confusion and pinched herself. When she felt the pain, she realized how serious the situation was.
"Ah—"
Just as her scream sounded, Ye Fan quickly got up and covered her mouth.
With the close distance and her current attire, he only felt his head swell, and blood dripped onto Ning Xi's nightgown.
"Shh, don't shout."
Ye Fan was well aware that if Ning Xiangtian and Lan Xi were drawn by the noise, then even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to clear his name.
Ning Xi was stunned. Then she realized just how… revealing her outfit was right now.
"Hiss—"
Ye Fan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand and quickly let go.
Ning Xi hurriedly adjusted her nightgown, protecting her chest with both hands. Her pretty face was flushed red. "Who let you in? What time is it already? You, you, you… shameless!"
But when she saw that Ye Fan's nose was still bleeding, all her anger instantly dissipated. She hurried over to the bedside and picked up tissues to wipe Ye Fan's nose, her expression full of worry. "Are you overheated? Why is your nose bleeding so much?"
"Hold the tissue there. I'll go ask Mom for some medicine."
As she spoke, she headed to the door, but just after two steps, she was pulled back by Ye Fan. "Don't, I'm fine."
He tilted his head back, holding a tissue in his left hand to block his nostril. Out of Ning Xi's sight, bitterness welled up in his eyes.
A nosebleed?
How embarrassing!!!
Ning Xi was held firmly by Ye Fan and had no choice but to pull him over to sit on the bed. Then she went to the bathroom alone. After a while, she returned with a warm towel and placed it on Ye Fan's forehead.
While wiping the bloodstains at the corner of Ye Fan's mouth with a wet wipe, Ning Xi softly questioned, "Just now… what did you see?"
"Just now?"
Ye Fan pretended to be clueless and said, "I was spacing out the whole time, didn't see anything. Why?"
"Hmph, big pig trotters!"
Ning Xi didn't believe Ye Fan's words at all. Just now, this bad guy had clearly been staring straight at her chest. Thinking about that made her face heat up again. "Gege, you're really too much!"
"We are dating, sure, but you still can't do this!"
"Xiaoxi, I really didn't do anything, okay?"
Ye Fan's face was full of innocence. He said pitifully, "I couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with you for a bit. I saw you were taking a bath, so I waited here. I didn't expect your clothes to be… a little revealing."
"You… still trying to argue, huh?"
Ning Xi was furious. She threw the wet wipe into the trash can and glared at him. "How many times have I told you, you need to knock before entering a girl's room. Why do you just… ahh, you're driving me mad!"
She wasn't just saying that—she was truly angry!
Being almost seen like that for no reason, any girl would be mad!
Ye Fan snorted, feeling the nosebleed had stopped. Looking at Ning Xi's back as she sulked, he said, "Xiaoxi, I was wrong. Don't be mad, okay?"
Actually, from the moment he chose not to leave, he had already foreseen this situation.
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, let alone a free view…
To gain something, you must give something!
Ning Xi said nothing, clearly not planning to let Ye Fan off the hook that easily.
Seeing this, Ye Fan leaned close to her ear and said with a cheeky smile, "My Xiaoxi is the most gentle and cute. Surely she won't stay mad at me, right?"
"Who's your Xiaoxi? I'm not!"
Ning Xi snorted softly, turned to glare at Ye Fan, then turned away again. The rosy hue on her face never faded.
"Ahem—"
Ye Fan smacked his lips and said, "Xiaoxi, you may not be mine yet, but you'll be sooner or later. I just want you to get used to it in advance."
"Pfft!"
The girl's soft voice carried disbelief, "Right now, we're only in a relationship, at most considered a couple. As for whether things develop further, it depends on your performance during dating."
"Your behavior tonight made me really angry! I'm seriously thinking about whether to put our relationship on pause…"
"No!"
This time, Ye Fan truly panicked. His heart was in turmoil. He got up with a bitter face, crouched down in front of Ning Xi, and held her hand, playing the emotional card. "Xiaoxi, I really know I was wrong. You can punish me however you want, just don't pause our relationship."
Ning Xi wrinkled her little nose, keeping a stern face, "Whether we pause or not is my decision, humph!"
Seeing that the soft approach wasn't working, Ye Fan's mind spun and came up with a bold plan.
But he wasn't confident. If it didn't work, he'd definitely piss her off for real, and then it'd be completely over!
Torn with hesitation, he followed his heart.
Looking at the girl's delicate pink lips, Ye Fan couldn't help but swallow. He shut his eyes.
Forget it, come what may!
With that thought, he raised both hands, cupped Ning Xi's cheeks, and pressed his lips against those tempting red lips.
"Mm~~"
Along with a soft moan, Ye Fan once again tasted Ning Xi's sweetness.
Ning Xi's clear eyes widened, and after a brief moment of daze, she pressed her little hands against Ye Fan's chest, trying hard to push him away.
A girl competing strength with a guy?
Especially a guy like Ye Fan, who had level five physical strength—no need to even guess the result.
"You… mm~~~"
