Chapter 178: Chapter 140: Unexpected Situation

Especially after how hesitant and unnatural he was acting!

’Her intuition told her he must be hiding something under the covers!’

’And he won’t even tell me. I’m not that stupid.’

’Today, I’m going to see exactly what precious treasure he’s hiding in there!’

With that thought, the girl took advantage of Xiao Ran’s distraction. With a swift movement, she reached out and yanked off his blanket.

And then she saw the small, slightly raised tent.

Almost instantly, Xiao Ran felt his scalp go numb.

’Where did this girl learn to do that?’

’How is she getting more and more mischievous? How dare she pull off my blanket!’

Yan Xici was completely floored. She never expected *that* to be the reason. She was overcome with shame and embarrassment. Her pretty face flushed a deep red at a visible rate, and it felt like all the blood was rushing to her head!

’Oh my god, I actually saw Brother Xiao Ran’s... down there!’

’This is so embarrassing!!!!’

’I want to chop my hand off!’

’Why couldn’t I keep my hands to myself!’

The girl instinctively covered her eyes and stammered nervously, "I-I didn’t see anything!"

’I’m so dead!’

’Brother Xiao Ran must be so embarrassed he wishes he could bury his head in the sand, right?’

’Is he going to be mad at me?’

’After all, I’d be angry too if someone looked at my private parts like that!’

’I promised I wouldn’t get handsy with him, so why can’t I ever keep my hands to myself!’

The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. The girl felt like her nerves were stretched to their breaking point.

Looking at the shy girl across from him, Xiao Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry. ’I’m the one who’s been exposed, aren’t I?’

’The way she’s acting, how does it feel less like she took advantage of me and more like I took advantage of her?’

He decided to teach her a little lesson and find out just where she got such audacity.

While she was still covering her eyes, he decisively pulled her into his arms, pushed her down onto the bed, and viciously tickled her armpits!

Caught completely off guard, Yan Xici yelped. The next second, she was laughing so hard she couldn’t breathe.

"Bro-Brother Xiao Ran, I was wrong, I... I..."

"Hahahaha."

Her bell-like laughter, mixed with gasps for air, echoed throughout the room.

Outside their little bubble, Zhang Chuan was utterly defeated.

’Fine, let them be shameless. What else can I do?’

’In this world, the shameless are truly invincible!’

He sniffled, got out of bed, and started putting on his shoes.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Ran finally stopped. He looked down at the girl beneath him, her body heaving from the excitement, and said calmly, "Will you dare to do that again?"

"N-no, I won’t dare!" the girl pleaded.

’She really wouldn’t dare anymore. Brother Xiao Ran’s fingers were so stiff, and the sensation was both painful and itchy. It was an exceptionally awful feeling.’

Seeing her obedient and docile expression, Xiao Ran finally relented and sat up.

It was already nine o’clock. Xu Cheng, estimating it was about time, walked into the private room carrying a large tray laden with breakfast.

"Here we go, my dear friends! Your breakfast, made with love, has arrived!"

After yesterday’s livestream, he had a feeling his farmhouse inn was about to blow up.

He’d been so excited he couldn’t sleep a wink all night!

That’s why he was up first thing in the morning, telling the kitchen to start on breakfast.

’If this place really takes off, I have to give them a massive wedding gift when they get married!’

Hearing Xu Cheng’s voice, Zhang Chuan felt like he’d just seen his savior. He rushed forward. "Bro, you’re finally here! I really couldn’t take it anymore. When is this endless PDA ever going to stop!"

Hearing this, Yan Xici, who was standing behind Xiao Ran, immediately blushed.

’This is mortifying!’

’Someone overheard us again!’

’Now, Zhang Chuan must know about me peeking at Brother Xiao Ran’s little tent!’

At that thought, she began to squirm again, her hand nervously rubbing her other arm.

It wasn’t until she rubbed her arm that she instantly realized something was wrong.

’Why does it feel so bare?’

She instinctively glanced down at her arm, and her whole body tensed up.

She grabbed Xiao Ran’s arm. "My bracelet is gone! Brother, have you seen it?"

’That was the first gift his mother gave me!’

’We’re going to visit his mom soon. If she finds out I lost the bracelet she gave me, she’ll be heartbroken!’

The more the girl thought about it, the more panicked she became. In just a few seconds, a fine sheen of sweat had broken out on her forehead.

’Oh my god, what am I going to do!’

At her words, the three men turned to look at her, their faces filled with shock.

Xiao Ran quickly tried to comfort her. "Don’t panic. We were in here the whole time yesterday, so it must have just fallen off somewhere around here!"

"Yeah," Xu Cheng said, placing the tray on the table. "Don’t worry. I’ll get a couple of my staff to help you look. We’ll definitely find it."

Zhang Chuan, however, remained silent. He suddenly recalled the moment he’d pulled Yan Xici out of the water yesterday.

’I didn’t see any bracelet on her wrist back then.’

He frowned. "Do you think it’s possible the bracelet fell into the lake?"

"I didn’t see it on her when I pulled her out yesterday."

As soon as he said that, everyone simultaneously sucked in a sharp breath.

’How the hell are they supposed to find it now!’

Yan Xici felt like she couldn’t breathe.

’If it’s really lost, I’ll be too ashamed to face Xiao Ran’s mother.’

’She’s so good to me, and now I’ve lost the bracelet she gave me!’

The more the girl thought about it, the more frantic she became. A shimmer of tears welled in her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes. Her voice trembled with fear as she asked, "Brother Xiao Ran, what do we do?"
