Today is Duan Xi’s birthday. Ruan Jiaojiao’s idea is very simple. She just wants to dress up beautifully. She even mischievously put on lipstick, just to make herself feel good and to please others as well.
But now that she’s really being looked at, she feels embarrassed, a sense of indescribable sha, as if her little secret is exposed to everyone. However, she’s more afraid that Duan Xi, like Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Jie, would think she is ill!
She doesn’t even dare to raise her head now, just feeling her heart pounding wildly, almost jumping to her throat.
She even wonders if at this mont Duan Xi could hear her sowhat exaggeratedly fast heartbeat and think she’s seriously ill.
She didn’t know how much courage it took to finally raise her head, and when she did, she t Duan Xi’s gaze, so intense it felt like it could burn her up completely.
At that mont, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t explain why, but suddenly her mind went hot, and her face and neck turned completely red!
The two stared at each other for about two seconds before Ruan Jiaojiao finally shouted angrily at the few n to cover her embarrassnt: "You guys are so annoying!" After saying that, she shook off Duan Xi’s arm and ran to the restroom on the first floor. She needed to quickly wipe off this lipstick! It was too embarrassing!
"What’s going on?" Ruan Jie was puzzled.
Ruan Hao’s gaze was deep, then he smiled helplessly. Their family’s little princess has really grown up and can get shy now.
Ruan Jie didn’t understand because he hadn’t been through it, but Ruan Jianguo, having been that age himself, squinted his eyes and glared at Duan Xi, warning, "Xiaoxi, don’t go too far."
Duan Xi responded by walking directly in the direction Ruan Jiaojiao ran.
Ruan Jiaojiao walked faster and faster, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, with the only thought of quickly wiping off the lipstick! She never wanted to wear it again!
It was just that when she ran to the restroom door, she bumped into Shu Jiao, who happened to co out. Shu Jiao looked at her flushed face, then at Duan Xi, who followed behind, and imdiately understood.
"Are you ready? Then let’s go." She pretended not to know, smiling as she spoke.
"Wait a minute, I want to wipe off the lipstick," said Ruan Jiaojiao.
"Why wipe it off? It looks good this way," Shu Jiao finished, looking at Duan Xi standing not far away, and asked, "Isn’t it, Xiaoxi?"
Ruan Jiaojiao abruptly turned around and saw Duan Xi indeed following her. Her face, which had just returned to normal, imdiately turned red again.
Duan Xi’s gaze was stuck on Ruan Jiaojiao.
His sense of sll was sharper than most people. Although he didn’t know what lipstick was, he wasn’t as dumb as Ruan Jie and Ruan Jianguo. He could sll the faint botanical fragrance from her lips. He had slled it before, especially when accompanying Ruan Jiaojiao to departnt stores, but he didn’t like it.
But if the scent cos from her, it’s different. Not only does he like it, but he also finds it fragrant, sweet, and enticing!
At Shu Jiao’s question, Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart jumped. Even she didn’t know why she was so nervous.
In fact, she felt that if he asked again if she was sick because of the lipstick, she would burst into tears out of grievance!
"Pretty, very pretty," Duan Xi answered.
When answering this question, his eyes remained focused on her lips, very attentive and very ardent.
