Chapter 50 - 50: Honest To The Point Of Being Shameless
"I don't need a white cane."
Jiang Yu frowned.
Although Feng Linbai had walked very smoothly back in the house and had not bumped into anything, that was indoors and no one else would appear.
But this time, they were in an outdoor space. Any normal person would be afraid if they walked outside with their eyes closed. Even if this was the Feng family home, who knew how many people would secretly want to see Feng Linbai become a joke.
Jiang Yu was wearing a sports jacket today. She handed over the sleeves of her jacket and said, "Why don't you hold on to my sleeve?"
Feng Linbai was amused by the little lady's actions.
She was indeed very cute. was she concerned about him?
Moreover, because of his close proximity to Jiang Yu, Feng Linbai could smell Jiang Yu's scent.
Perhaps it was because she had just finished eating the cake, the little girl had the sweet scent of matcha on her.
Feng Linbai was pleased, but he put on a hesitant expression and said worriedly, "I'm afraid that if I get scared later, I might accidentally tear off your clothes."
Jiang Yu: "..."
She thought about it and realized that it was really possible.
Jiang Yu remained silent. Feng Linbai suggested instead, "Why don't... you hold my hand? But you don't have to. Or, you could just hook your finger through mine?"
His face carried an innocent expression as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with his suggestion.
Jiang Yu quickly rejected, "No."
She wasn't in the habit of being so close to others, let alone such an intimate action.
After being rejected, Feng Linbai seemed to be a little hurt.
His good-looking face was despondent as he said, "Since you don't want to, then let's just remain this way. I'm fine with it. I've walked this path many times and I'm already used to it."
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment before she whispered, "Feng Linbai."
Feng Linbai asked, "What?"
Jiang Yu said in all seriousness, "I know you have good hearing. You clearly heard it."
Feng Linbai maintained his smile, looking as if he did not want to admit his mistake.
But Jiang Yu was mistaken. It wasn't that he didn't want to admit his mistake. Instead, he was thinking, "Fine, I'll give it to you. What do you think we should do instead...?"
Feng Linbai replied with a smile, "I heard you. Thank you for the compliment."
Jiang Yu sighed. This person was really shameless.
However, the strangest thing was, she didn't find him annoying.
Perhaps it was because... he was such an honest person because of his lack of shame?
"There's no way I'm holding hands with you," Jiang Yu insisted. "Get someone to bring a rope. We'll just hold the ends of the rope."
Even though she knew that Feng Linbai wouldn't trip, Jiang Yu still said, "Go ahead. I won't let you fall."
Feng Linbai's lips curled into a smile. He said slowly, "Thank you, Yu'er."
A shiver went down Jiang Yu's spine.
This form of address was a little... gross.
"You can just call me by my name."
"Calling one's given name feels so formal," Feng Linbai said frankly. "Haven't you noticed that I'm trying to get close to you?"
"I've noticed," Jiang Yu replied slowly. "But even if you don't get close to me, I'll still cure your eyes. So..."
"But," Feng Linbai interrupted as he asked curiously, "Isn't a name just a code name after all? I just thought you wouldn't mind these things. After all, there are people who call you Little Yu. It doesn't seem too much for me to call you Yu'er."
