A hurricane of joy swept through his body, an utterly new sensation. His large hand slid through her sweaty hair, his voice astonishingly gentle. "Xixi, you’re wonderful."
"..."
"Xixi, you took such good care of today... I’ve never felt this good in my entire life..."
Her face flushed as red as a rose.
What kind of guy is he?
She playfully pinched him, but gently.
「It had been lightly raining for several consecutive days.」
Wan Donglin hadn’t gone out. He stayed at ho with Yan Xixi all day.
Suddenly, he found rainy days quite pleasant.
The two of them played gas together. As they played, Yan Xixi started to fuss, upset about her low ranking and how far behind she was even though they were playing together.
"Big-footed Man, help level up..."
"Big-footed Man, pass this..."
Unknowingly, she had gotten used to ordering him around, asking him to do this and that.
"Help apply so red antiseptic. OUCH... it hurts..."
"Help change the bandage; my arms are short, I can’t reach..."
"Big-footed Man, put on the disc for , the ultra HD version... I want to watch ’X-n’... You go put it on..."
Once, while lying in bed playing a mobile ga, she felt dizzy and demanded, "Big-footed Man, I want so waterlon, it has to be chilled; I don’t want anything else..."
Wan Donglin brought the waterlon to her.
Without lifting her head, she reached for a slice and started gobbling it down noisily.
"This waterlon doesn’t taste good. I want cantaloupe..."
The man had no choice but to dejectedly go and cut up a cantaloupe.
"This cantaloupe is sweet, really delicious! Big-footed Man, from now on, let’s buy this kind of cantaloupe every day..."
"Yan Xixi..."
She continued playing with her phone.
"Yan Xixi!"
She threw her phone down. "What’s with calling by my full na?"
His face stern, he said, "Have you forgotten what I told you? Don’t get used to depending on others. Otherwise, if one day you can’t rely on them anymore, wouldn’t that be terribly painful?"
She was surprised. "Big-footed Man, are you warning ?"
He sighed quietly.
She just laughed, completely unaware of any crisis.
"I especially love eating chilled waterlon. When I was a kid, my dad used to cut a big plate of it every night. He had when he was already in his thirties, so he was an older father, and he spoiled rotten. Before anything happened to him, I lived like a princess at ho..."
His heart ached for her. "But then you felt lost and helpless, right? After your dad was gone, you were displaced, and you tasted all kinds of hardships, didn’t you?"
"HMPH..."
"Think about it. If your dad hadn’t spoiled you so much, wouldn’t your ability to be independent and your emotional resilience be much stronger? You wouldn’t have suffered so much afterward, right?"
She was stunned into silence.
Afterward? Actually, it wasn’t that miserable. During university, using Huang Xiaojue’s al card, she could still eat her fill; she had Huang Xiaojue to rely on. It was only later, when her mother fell ill, that the high dical costs beca too much for Huang Xiaojue, a re student, to bear. The most painful two or three years were when her mother was seriously ill and she had to drop out of school to beco a con artist. Then, Wan Donglin entered her life. Her life hasn’t had any major setbacks or upheaval since then. From that point on, there also haven’t been any significant financial crises or shortages.
She picked up another slice of cantaloupe. "Hey, Big-footed Man, I always feel that you’re quite like my dad..."
He snapped, "Then you might as well call Dad."
