Chapter 13 Visiting the Little Girl (2)
Hearing Qin Yaoyao's question, He Yanxi was also taken aback. He had never expected her to ask such a direct question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. At this moment, his heart was filled with contradictions and entanglements—of course he wanted to continue embracing and kissing her like today, but at the same time he was worried that his actions would anger her again. So, after a brief silence, He Yanxi finally took a deep breath and cautiously asked, "Then... what do you want me to do?"
Qin Yaoyao stared wide-eyed at He Yanxi, who didn't directly answer her question, and grew increasingly anxious. She gripped He Yanxi's hand tightly and asked urgently, "Are you really planning to never kiss me again from now on? Did I upset you because of what I just said? Actually, that's not what I meant..." Before she could finish speaking, He Yanxi abruptly interrupted her.
He Yanxi stared at Qin Yaoyao, who was speaking incoherently due to anxiety, and asked softly, "So, every time I get close to you, do you feel displeasure or even disgust?" As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yaoyao shook her head vigorously without hesitation, indicating that she was not.
He Yanxi then pressed on, "In that case, would you like me to continue treating you this affectionately in the future?" Qin Yaoyao replied almost impatiently, "That would be wonderful!"
He Yanxi seemed quite surprised by the answer, but still pressed on, "Why is that?" Qin Yaoyao didn't need to think at all and blurted out, "It's just because I'm overjoyed by your intimate gestures."
He Yanxi gazed at Qin Yaoyao, a pang of sorrow rising in his heart. He thought to himself: that once innocent little girl, now, it seems another figure has taken up residence in her heart.
Qin Yaoyao watched as He Yanxi fell silent again, and couldn't help but ask, "So, you'll still kiss me from now on, right?" Her bright eyes stared straight at He Yanxi, as if trying to see through his eyes to his true thoughts.
Even though he knew Qin Yaoyao didn't want to be close to him, He Yanxi was powerless to resist. He silently nodded in agreement. Then, Qin Yaoyao whispered, "You can only kiss me, okay? You absolutely can't kiss anyone else."
Faced with such a cute and persistent request, He Yanxi couldn't help but feel tenderness and gently replied, "Okay, I will only kiss you." His voice was full of doting, and his eyes revealed endless affection. However, behind this seemingly beautiful promise, He Yanxi knew the helplessness and pain it contained.
Qin Yaoyao's joy was palpable, but she still greedily made another request: "So, would you like to kiss me again now?" She secretly thought to herself that she had to take this opportunity to kiss him as many times as possible to make up for it. After all, only in dreams was this guy so obedient and docile, letting her do as she pleased. In real life, getting close to him wasn't easy. Whether such a wonderful thing could happen again was still unknown, so she might as well kiss him as many times as she could.
Upon hearing this, He Yanxi was taken aback. He hadn't expected this little girl to say such a thing. He thought to himself, "Fine, I'll grant her wish." After all, whether he would have another chance to kiss her was uncertain. Immediately afterward, He Yanxi leaned down and gently kissed her, his movements tender and full of devotion.
And so, Qin Yaoyao repeatedly asked for kisses, and He Yanxi patiently responded to each one. Time passed quietly, and eventually, Qin Yaoyao, exhausted, fell into a deep sleep, bringing this intimate moment to an end.
He Yanxi gazed at the sleeping little girl, a doting smile on his face. He looked out the window, checked the time, gently kissed the little girl's forehead, and then turned and left.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and onto the bed, waking Qin Yaoyao from her sweet dream. She slowly opened her eyes, feeling exceptionally refreshed, as if her whole body was brimming with energy. Recalling her dream from the previous night, Qin Yaoyao couldn't help but smile sweetly.
In that beautiful dream, Brother Yanxi became exceptionally obedient and docile. Whatever she asked, he would comply without hesitation, completely following her every command. This submissiveness filled her with immense satisfaction, allowing her to indulge her whims. What moved her even more was that they kissed countless times in the dream; that intimate touch still lingered in her mind. Although it was just a dream, Qin Yaoyao was overjoyed and secretly resolved that one day, she would embrace and kiss Brother Yanxi in real life.
Just as Qin Yaoyao was lost in her memories, a familiar, cool fragrance suddenly brushed past her nose. At first, she thought it was just a hallucination caused by missing He Yanxi so much, and didn't pay much attention to it. However, the fragrance grew stronger and stronger, so real that it was impossible to ignore.
Qin Yaoyao frowned in confusion, trying to find the source of the fragrance. Just then, the door was pushed open without warning, and Yingchun and Banxia walked in carrying basins of water. Yingchun said softly, "Miss, it's time to get up and wash." Qin Yaoyao responded and then got out of bed to begin washing.
After washing up, Qin Yaoyao sat quietly in front of the dressing table, letting Banxia skillfully comb her hair. Yingchun went to the wardrobe, carefully selected two outfits, and then showed them to Qin Yaoyao, asking, "Miss, which one would you like to wear?"
Qin Yaoyao slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on the two exquisite garments in front of her. One of them was a pleated ruqun made of light blue brocade, its color fresh and elegant, its texture soft and smooth; the pleats of the skirt were fine and orderly, like layers of water rippling, making it even more playful and lively.
The other garment is made of light purple flowing brocade, with an overall style that is calm and dignified without appearing old-fashioned. The unique luster and texture of the flowing brocade give the entire garment a mysterious and noble aura.
After a moment's thought, Qin Yaoyao made up her mind: "Then I'll wear the light blue one!" Yingchun replied, "Yes, Miss." After speaking, she gently put the other garment back into the wardrobe.
Before long, Qin Yaoyao had finished changing. Yingchun and Banxia stared at her, utterly stunned. Yingchun exclaimed, "Miss, you are absolutely gorgeous today! Like a fairy descended from heaven!" Banxia echoed, "Yes, I have never seen anyone so beautiful!"
Qin Yaoyao looked at her two personal maids with a smile, and said in a feigned angry tone, "Don't you think I'm pretty enough?" The two maids hurriedly waved their hands to explain that their mistress had always been a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm.
Yingchun nodded eagerly, like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, yes! Our young lady has always been naturally beautiful, as lovely as an angel!" Qin Yaoyao chuckled, gently poking Yingchun's forehead, and said coquettishly, "Alright, alright, you're so sweet-talking! Come on, let's go eat with Mother. I haven't eaten with everyone in so long!"
After speaking, the three of them, mistress and servants, walked towards their mother's courtyard, chatting and laughing. Along the way, Yingchun chattered incessantly like a cheerful little bird, as if she had an endless supply of topics to discuss. Sometimes she talked about the various amusing incidents that had recently occurred in the manor, and other times she rave about the taste of the newly developed pastries in the kitchen. Qin Yaoyao and Banxia would occasionally chime in with a word or two, expressing their agreement or sharing their unique insights. In this way, the group got along extremely well, their laughter never ceasing.
However, Qin Yaoyao wasn't fully absorbed in the joyful atmosphere—her thoughts had already drifted far away. At this moment, she was silently plotting when she could find a suitable opportunity to go out and play with her brother Yanxi. It had been quite a long time since they last saw each other. Qin Yaoyao was filled with anticipation; she eagerly wanted to know if her brother Yanxi had developed feelings for her. At the same time, she secretly resolved that if he hadn't yet fallen for her, she would work even harder to win his favor as soon as possible. Thinking this, Qin Yaoyao couldn't help but reveal a sly smile, muttering to herself, "Hehe, Brother Yanxi, I'll definitely make you fall at my feet!"
Unbeknownst to them, they had already reached the courtyard gate, but before even stepping inside, they could hear laughter and chatter coming from within. Just then, Qin Yaoyao smelled that incredibly familiar fragrance again; moreover, as she approached the house, the scent grew stronger. She had already noticed this strange fragrance in Ningxiang Courtyard, and now, smelling it again, even more intensely, Qin Yaoyao was certain this was not a hallucination. Just as she was beginning to feel confused, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, like a lightning bolt piercing the night. As if to confirm this deep-seated suspicion, Qin Yaoyao unhesitatingly lifted her skirt and hurried towards the house.
Upon entering the room, Qin Yaoyao abruptly stopped, stunned by the sight before her. Her suspicions were instantly confirmed—the handsome young man she had longed for day and night, the one who haunted her dreams, He Yanxi, was truly here!
Because Qin Yaoyao's movements were a bit exaggerated when she entered, the noise she made attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned to look at her. Fifth Brother noticed that Qin Yaoyao was standing there in a daze, so he asked, "Little sister, why are you here so early today? You..." However, before he could finish speaking, he was surprised to see a bright smile quickly bloom on his little sister's face, and she lifted her foot and walked forward happily.
Qin Yunji was overjoyed, thinking his little sister was coming for him, and smugly told the others in the room, "Haha, see? My little sister still likes me the most!" Seeing his smug look, his parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law all looked at him with disdain. But just as Qin Yunji was still immersed in his self-satisfaction, he watched helplessly as his little sister swept past him and, without hesitation, rushed straight towards someone else in front of the whole family.
As Qin Yaoyao approached the door, He Yanxi immediately sensed her arrival. The young girl was dressed in a fresh, elegant light blue pleated skirt, looking like a playful and adorable forest sprite, captivatingly beautiful. He Yanxi was mesmerized until Qin Yunji's voice brought him back to reality. However, at that very moment, Qin Yaoyao began to move.
As Qin Yaoyao walked towards him step by step, He Yanxi froze on the spot. He wondered to himself, "Why is she here so early? Could it be that she found out I secretly visited her? Then, is she here to reprimand me?" Just as He Yanxi was filled with anxiety, Qin Yaoyao stood happily in front of him. Just as He Yanxi was about to apologize in his nervousness, Qin Yaoyao spoke first, asking with a joyful expression, "Brother Yanxi, when did you arrive here? Did you come here specifically to visit me?"
He Yanxi's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief as he stared intently at Qin Yaoyao, completely frozen in place, unable to react. However, He Yanxi wasn't the only one utterly astonished. At that moment, his parents, brother, and sister-in-law were all speechless with shock. Qin Yunji, in particular, was so wide-open that his mouth could practically fit an egg!
Qin Yaoyao had no time to pay attention to the reactions of others. Her gaze remained fixed on He Yanxi, unblinking, staring intently at him, trying to find a clue in his expressionless face, trying to figure out if he had even the slightest bit of affection for her. Seeing that He Yanxi still didn't react, Qin Yaoyao's mood grew heavier, and she murmured softly, "Brother Yanxi, why aren't you paying attention to me..."
Upon hearing this, He Yanxi immediately snapped out of his daze. Seeing the little girl's distraught expression, his heart tightened, and he quickly explained, "I didn't ignore you!" Qin Yaoyao pressed on, "Then could it be because I did something wrong that made you unhappy?" He Yanxi quickly shook his head, indicating that wasn't the case. Qin Yaoyao persisted, continuing, "In that case, Brother Yanxi is deliberately ignoring me?" Her eyes reddened, and tears welled up. He Yanxi stared intently at the little girl's once bright but now dim eyes, his heart pounding, his breathing becoming rapid. He sighed deeply, his voice filled with helplessness and pleading, "I really didn't deliberately ignore you..."
Qin Yaoyao stared straight into He Yanxi's eyes, tears welling up in them, her face full of aggrieved expression: "You still say you didn't! When I was talking to you just now, you clearly didn't respond to me!" Her voice was trembling with a sob.
He Yanxi frowned and pondered for a moment before explaining, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice what you said." His gaze was sincere and gentle, as if he hoped to convey his apology through his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaoyao's eyes sparkled, shining like brilliant stars in the night sky. Overjoyed, she pressed on, "So, you weren't ignoring me, but rather you were distracted and didn't hear what I said, right?" Looking into Qin Yaoyao's brightened eyes, He Yanxi finally felt a weight lifted from his heart. He nodded slightly in agreement and softly replied, "Yes..."
