Chapter 727: No Different From Groping (1)

Chuanbei Jing residence…

The few people downstairs were still playing cards. Duan Linbai shouted, “Third Fu, you’re so dishonest. It’s fine if you fed Little Sister-in-Law cards, but you’re even feeding Miss Tang cards. The three of you are bullying me.”

Fu Chen glanced at him lightly. “Do you want to bully the newbie?”

Tang Jingci didn’t know how to play, and even her actions of drawing cards were slightly clumsy.

“When did I bully the newbie?”

“She’s Qiao Xiyan’s girlfriend. Don’t you think I should take care of her?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and stared at him.

“Your family is ganging up to bully an honest person now.”

An honest person? Song Fengwan lowered her head and let out a muffled laugh. How could he have the cheek to say that?

Tang Jingci was still staring at the cards with her head lowered, not knowing which one to play. No one urged her, and they waited quietly.

Fu Chen lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and tilted his head to look upstairs. I wonder how those two are doing.

Fu Chen didn’t know how the two of them were progressing, but seeing their interaction, it seemed to be hazy.

To be honest, he really couldn’t understand what Xu Yuanfei liked about Jing Hanchuan. He was introverted, sharp-tongued, stubborn, and had a bad temper. He wasn’t even willing to talk much with others and was basically antisocial.

***

Actually, when Xu Yuanfei arrived at the door of the study, she wanted to retreat.

“Why don’t I go back?” She didn’t dare to go in. Just standing at the door, she was already very nervous, and her palms were sweating.

“Sixth Master doesn’t like being told things. If you have something to say, you should tell him directly.” The Jing family member was unwilling to be the mouthpiece.

Xu Yuanfei could only gently push open the door of the study.

It was already evening, and the study was warm. In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a thick warm gray blanket spread. Jing Hanchuan leaned against the window, seemingly bathing in the tranquil sunlight. A book was covering half of his face, revealing only the tip of his nose and his slightly thin lips…

The golden-red setting sun was gorgeous, complementing his lips to look very light. His hands were casually placed at the side, and his fingers were slender and long.

“…” Xu Yuanfei wanted to tell the Jing family member that he seemed to be sleeping and didn’t want to disturb him. She didn’t expect this person to close the door for her.

“Sixth Master?” Xu Yuanfei called him softly, but there was no response.

She sized up the study. The room wasn’t big, and 60% of the space was filled with various books. At the bottom of the bookshelf, there were actually books like ‘Grimms’ Fairy Tales’. He had most likely read them when he was young.

So, he read these kinds of books when he was a child.

She hesitated, wondering if she should wake him up. She slowly approached him and sat down beside him. There was a cup of black tea that had already cooled beside his hand, and the egg tarts she had brought were on a plate. The entire room was full of a sweet smell, making her heart race.

She was looking at him…

She was serious and devout, as if she wanted to copy everything about him deeply in her mind.

The nervousness and anxiousness from before seemed to be relieved gradually. Slowly, she calmed down.

Other than him…

Her heart and eyes couldn’t contain anything else.

Her head might really have been smashed. Thinking of what had happened when she was a child, she suddenly smiled.

Jing Hanchuan wasn’t asleep at all. It was just that he didn’t respond when she called out to him just now. If he suddenly pulled off the book, the atmosphere would become a little awkward. So he simply didn’t say anything, wanting to know what she wanted to do.

“Sixth Master?” Xu Yuanfei called him softly again, her voice so close that it was unbelievable.

Her voice was sweet and soft to begin with, and Jing Hanchuan suddenly felt his throat itch again.

“Are you really asleep?” Xu Yuanfei hesitated. She wanted to take down the book covering his eyes, but she didn’t dare to reach out.

She called out softly a few times, but there was no response.

Xu Yuanfei’s gaze landed on his slightly thin lips, and her breathing was a little heavy…

She wanted to get closer.

She wanted to kiss him.

Once these thoughts appeared in her mind, the beast that wanted to rush out was out of control.

Her gaze landed on his fingers, and she poked them slightly. “Sixth Master?”

No response.

But she still compared their fingers. Jing Hanchuan’s fingers were beautiful and flawless. Under the sunlight, they even felt a little translucent. Why are my fingers so meaty?

Xu Yuanfei was also very desperate about this. But her family said that having meaty hands was a blessing.

Her fingers slid across the back of his hand, rubbing it gently…

Jing Hanchuan held his breath. At this moment, not only was his throat itchy, but a numb feeling came from the back of his hand and slowly spread to his heart. It was as if a hundred claws were scratching him, and his heart started to itch beyond words.

He moved his hand slightly, scaring Xu Yuanfei so much that she immediately retracted her hand.

Ahhhh!

Xu Yuanfei, are you crazy? Why are you touching him?
