Chapter 411 long time no see
After her mother went upstairs, Ning Xi's starry eyes sparkled, muttered with a guilty face: "I'm not sleepy anyway…"
"Then you still have to go to sleep."
Ye Fan tapped the girl's forehead, his tone quite like an old father lecturing his daughter, "Staying up late is bad for your health, especially for girls. Don't you want your fair skin anymore?"
"Want it!"
Ning Xi quickly shook her head, pouted her lips and looked at Ye Fan, "Gege, after you go home, you have to video call me every night. Otherwise, I won't sleep all night, hmph!"
This method of threatening, Ye Fan was truly seeing it for the first time, couldn't help but chuckle secretly, "Okay, will call Xiao Xi every day."
Ning Xi giggled with satisfaction. She still wanted to chat with Ye Fan for a while longer, but with Zhuang Li's appearance, she blinked her eyes quite reluctantly, "Gege, do we have to wait until school starts to see each other again?"
"If nothing unexpected, it should be."
Ye Fan thought for a moment, nodded helplessly.
This matter of the arranged child marriage fundamentally couldn't be resolved in a short time. Moreover, he currently had no clue, could only take it one step at a time.
Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed in Ning Xi's eyes, but it was just a fleeting moment, her sweet smile reappearing, "Remember to call every day."
With that said, she took a step forward, her hands lightly wrapped around Ye Fan's neck, stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.
Zhuang Li, seeing this scene, his eyeballs almost popped out.
The Miss before him...
Couldn't be fake, right?
Illusion!
Everything is an illusion!!!
Until the plane took off, Ye Fan's mind was still savoring this kiss. A handsome smile lifted his thin lips, attracting frequent sideways glances from the two young girls in first class.
In fact, one girl even boldly asked for Ye Fan's contact information.
Regarding this, Ye Fan politely refused.
After a journey of several hours, the plane landed at Linhai Airport. Just as he came to the arrival hall carrying his luggage, Ye Fan saw his mother holding up a cardboard sign, raised his hand with considerable amusement.
Coming before his mother, Ye Fan looked at the pick-up sign in his mother's hand, made from an instant noodle cardboard box, smiled teasingly: "Mom, are our family's conditions this bad?"
"What do you know?"
Ye Xian snatched the suitcase from her son's hand, "This is called being unique. Didn't you just spot me at a glance?"
"That's true too."
Ye Fan shook his head and chuckled.
After getting into the car, Ye Fan nodded towards Luo Shan in the driver's seat, "Uncle, troubled you."
Luo Shan chuckled and waved his hand, "You child, why be so polite? We're all family!"
The car started, heading home.
It was very quiet in the car. Mother and son each had their own thoughts, Luo Shan also didn't feel right speaking, could only drive silently.
More than twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the courtyard.
Ye Xian signaled Luo Shan to move the luggage, then pulled her son into the house.
On the living room sofa, mother and son sat opposite each other, the atmosphere quite oppressive.
"Xiao Fan, what do you plan to do about this matter?"
"Haven't thought it through yet."
Hearing his mother's inquiry, Ye Fan sighed slightly, "However, there's definitely no possibility between me and that little snot-nosed girl Shen Li. The girl I like is Xiao Xi, you know this too."
"Sigh!"
Ye Xian rubbed her temples with a troubled face, "Of course I know you like Xiao Xi, let alone you, I also like Xiao Xi; but the key is, how to handle Shen Li's side?"
Saying this, she bent down and pulled open the drawer under the coffee table, took out a red piece of paper and placed it in front of Ye Fan.
"Nuo (here/look), this is the marriage contract from back then. Shen Li's parents and I both signed it. I never told you, I thought Shen Li's family wouldn't return to the country, so I never told you."
Ye Fan picked up the red paper before him, squinted his eyes and looked at it.
Suddenly, he chuckled lowly, "Mom, what era is this? You guys actually still engage in this arranged child marriage set. Freedom of marriage, freedom of love, was advocated long ago."
"What's the use of saying this now?"
Ye Xian rolled her eyes at her son helplessly, took the marriage contract and put it away, "Tonight I've invited Shen Li and her mother to our house for dinner, you be mentally prepared."
"No need to prepare."
Ye Fan smiled calmly. Shen Li's face appeared in his mind, smiled and said: "Haven't seen the little snot-nosed girl for so many years, wonder if she still likes to cry as much as back then."
"You!"
Ye Xian shook her head helplessly, "What little snot-nosed girl? How unpleasant to hear! She's a big girl now, even if she can't compare to Xiao Xi, she's not far off, bubbling with beauty. Quickly change your words for me!"
"No matter how beautiful she is, she's still my younger sister."
Ye Fan said as if it were a matter of course: "I call my own younger sister little snot-nosed girl, is there anything wrong with that?"
"…"
"Whatever you want. Your uncle and I are going out to buy groceries, you stay at home by yourself."
Dropping this sentence, Ye Xian stood up and left.
Ye Fan smiled slightly, went to the kitchen to make himself something to eat, returned to the bedroom alone.
Took out his phone, found Ning Xi's number. He was just about to dial when he suddenly thought this little thing should still be sleeping, silently put away his phone, and began to seriously ponder the matter of the arranged child marriage.
This thought process lasted for a full hour!
Finally, Ye Fan muttered to himself: "Still have to meet Shen Li!"
Must clarify Shen Li's attitude, only then can he prescribe the right medicine for the ailment .
However, this little snot-nosed girl should understand that in love, a melon plucked before it's ripe isn't sweet !
Finishing this thought, Ye Fan casually picked up the book from the bedside table and started reading. Don't know how long passed, sleepiness gradually crept in.
Actually, he hadn't slept much last night either, had been constantly thinking about how to properly cancel this engagement. Now that his mood relaxed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Fan had a dream.
Under the pear blossom tree, Ning Xi was crying. Her usually spirit-filled eyes were extremely haggard. Ye Fan's heart ached, ran towards Ning Xi, but no matter how he ran, he couldn't get close to Ning Xi…
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi!"
Ye Fan opened his eyes, looked blankly at everything in the room, only then realized it was just a dream just now. Perceiving the cold sweat on his back, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sure enough, what one thinks about by day, one dreams about by night ."
This kind of dream, he disliked very much.
For a moment, his heart became heavy…
Ye Fan suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, hung the clothes from his suitcase one by one into the wardrobe, took a set of clean clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Cool water droplets hit his body, his whole person slowly calmed down.
After showering, he wiped his hair with a bath towel and came to the window, preparing to open the window for some fresh air.
Just as he opened the window, his mind was captivated by the setting sun falling in the distant sky. Unconsciously, Ning Xi's face quietly appeared before his eyes.
In his world, it seemed there was only Ning Xi!
In this lifetime, his like, his love; incomparably pure!
"Brother Ye, long time no see."
A gentle voice came from below. Ye Fan froze, looked towards the source of the voice…
