When Xiran Xiao sensed the physical reaction of Tianye Mu, she moved away her lips from his in time. At that moment, Tianye’s eyes were full of desires.
Xiran licked her lips and let go of her legs around Tianye’s waist. “You are a good kisser.” Xiran praised with a smile.
Tianye knew he shouldn’t act in haste. “You are also a good kisser.” Tianye said with a husky voice.
Xiran leaned against the pool, allowing Tianye to look her up and down. “Thank you for your compliment. But I have a principle. I never touch a man who has girlfriend or wife.” Xiran said.
At that moment, the sun broke the last of the hedges and shone into the pool.
Tianye leaned against the pool like Xiran and said, “I am not married, and I don’t have a girlfriend.” Then Tianye turned to look at Xiran and said, “You are the first and the only one I like.”
Xiran smiled and also turned to look and Tianye, saying, “Do you know what you mean by that remark?”
“Yes.” Tianye said seriously. Tianye took Xiran for his sweetheart the first time he saw her.
“But I may not like you.” Xiran said.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll make you like me.” Tianye said. With his hands on the edge of the pool, Tianye sprang to his feet and stood on the bank. Then he turned and held out his hand to Xiran and said, “Come on.”
Without hesitation, Xiran took Tianye’s hand and let him pull her ashore.
Tianye walked to the table and gave her the lemonade, saying, “Why don’t you ask me about my personal information these days?”
Xiran took a sip from the glass and said, “You will say it when you want to. Why should I ask?”
Tianye then threw the towel to Xiran and said, “Come on. It’s a nice day and I’m dying to talk.”
“I wonder if you used to be cruel.” Xiran said. Xiran gave the remaining half lemonade to Tianye and then wrapped her white body in the towel. Tianye didn’t mind that it’s the lemonade Xiran had drunk, and drank it up. “Would you be scared?” Tianye said jokingly.
Xiran snorted and walked away from pool. “Fear is not a word in my dictionary, and if it is, it is the shock of nature.” Xiran said.
Tianye walked beside Xiran while he was getting dressed. With a ruffian look on his face, he said, “Oh, it seems I have a good eye.”
Xiran squinted at Tianye and said, “Tianye Mu, don’t praise me. I’ll be proud.”
“You deserve any praise.” Tianye said without hesitation.
After hearing that, Xiran’s ears were burning. Then she changed the subject and said, “How did you get in here? Few people can walk in alone. An arrogant man once came to my house and insisted on taking me to dinner. I told him I would if only he could get out of the maze. Guess what happened in the end.”
“He certainly didn’t get out of the maze.” Tianye spoke out the obvious answer.
“Not only didn’t he get out, but he cried out of fear.” Xiran said with a smile as bright as the sunshine.
Tianye was surprised by the that. “Really? What did you do to that man?” Tianye said.
“He was in there for a whole day and almost went crazy. After dark, I sent Beibei and Doudou to find him, but he thought Beibei and Doudou were going to bite him, so he screamed in fright. Finally, Uncle Zhou had no choice but went into the maze to take him out. After that, the man ran away from me when he saw me.” Xiran said.
“Who are Beibei and Doudou…”Tianye said.
“They are my golden retrievers.” Xiran laughed and said. “How about you? How did you get in?” Xiran then asked Tianye.
With pride in his eyes and a light smile on his face, Tianye said, “It’s because after I walked a few steps, I found that the basic shape of the maze is a giant sunflower and the swimming pool is the center of the sunflower. I got it right and I found you.”
Xiran began to see Tianye differently. He is the first to see the shape of the maze in such a short time.
“Let’s eat breakfast first, and then I’ll listen to your story.” Xiran said. Xiran took Tianye out from the shortest path. “Only God knows how many stories I’ve told you these days.” She muttered as she walked to her room.
Tianye didn’t hear the last words she said and asked, “What did you say?”
“Nothing.” Xiran said.
Tianye also walked to his room. Ever since he could get out of bed and walk, Uncle Zhou has let him stay in the guest room.
……
As the sun rose, the temperature got higher.
There is a small bar on the second floor of the villa, and Xiran sat on a high stool to listen to Tianye’s story. Xiran was a little surprised when she heard Tianye say “Kerry”.
“Thank you.” Tianye said.
While looking for Yan’s phone number, Xiran said casually, “It’s a piece of cake. Don’t take it to heart… Hello, Yan. I saw the news that there was an earthquake in Sky City. Are you OK? I haven’t been able to get through to you these days.”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Yan said.
“That’s good.” Xiran said. Xiran then looked at Tianye, who pretended to be calm, and continued to ask Yan, “Yan, I don’t know if I can ask you something.”
“Of course you can. Go ahead. I will tell you everything I know.” Yan said.
“Are you Kerry’s girlfriend?” Xiran asked directly.
Yan was silent for two seconds and then said, “Yes, I’m his girlfriend.”
“Yan, I heard someone said the other day that Kerry is married. You…”Xiran stopped and didn’t say the following. Some things should only be said to convey the meaning, and not to be said explicitly.
Sure enough, Yan was completely silent. Tianye, on the other hand, was very nervous.
After being silent for half a minute, Yan said, “Xiran, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you about it. It comes down to Kerry’s privacy, and I can’t tell you. Kerry said to the public that his wife went to Europe to study half a year ago. If one day Venus comes back, I will disappear completely.”
Xiran felt sorry for Yan suddenly. What a stupid girl she is. She is excellent and she can definitely find a good man. Why she just wants to be with Kerry?
But Xiran is just a friend of Yan and she couldn’t say that to Yan. “Yan, this is your choice. I just hope you won’t get hurt.” Xiran said.
“OK. I will take care of myself.” Yan said.
“Call me if you need anything.” Xiran said.
“OK.” Yan said.
After hanging up the phone, Xiran said to Tianye, “Venus went to study in Europe six months ago. But there is something else in Yan’s tone.”
