Chapter 542 Little Junior Sister: Sweet and Fragrant (1)

Song Fengwan felt her scalp tingle from Qiao Xiyan’s gaze. She gripped her chopsticks tightly and ate a piece of sweet and sour lotus root for more than a minute.

“Cousin, don’t look at me like that. I just want to help Big Sister Tang vent her anger...” Song Fengwan muttered. Her voice was muffled and became lower and lower.

“I watched you grow up. I’ve always thought that you’re a well-behaved, sensible, and upright child...” Qiao Xiyan fiddled with his lighter.

“Haven’t I always been well-behaved?” she said. Qiao Xiyan’s expression was too strange. It was as if he didn’t know her.

“Your base is crooked...”

Song Fengwan’s face slowly flushed red. She would feel embarrassed no matter what if her biological cousin said that she was bad inside.

“But it’s not completely bad yet...” Qiao Xiyan lowered his head and ate.

“Hmm?”

“You know how to blush, and you still feel embarrassed and ashamed.”

Song Fengwan clenched her chopsticks tightly. If he wasn’t her cousin, she really wanted to kick him.

When are you going to find me a sister-in-law like this? I’m so worried. Is he still going to be a lonely old man after I get married and have children with Third Brother? That would be too tragic. “You’re not going to class these days, are you?” Qiao Xiyan suddenly changed the topic.

“Yes, the art school uniformly applied for leave.”

“In that case, stay in the hotel and take care of her. It’s not convenient for me to stay with her.”

“Her?” Song Fengwan put down her chopsticks and looked at him seriously. “Cousin, the two of you have been together for so long. Big Sister Tang keeps calling you senior brother. Even if you don’t call her name, you can call her junior sister. Her? What kind of address is this?”

Qiao Xiyan didn’t say anything.

“No wonder Big Sister Tang would rather go to the museum to take pictures with someone else than be with you. You’re too disrespectful to her. If it were me, I wouldn’t even want to play with you.

“You’re already so familiar with each other. Is there a need to be so distant?!”

Qiao Xiyan glanced at her. “If you don’t want to eat, go back to your dorm to pack.”

“I’m not full yet.” Song Fengwan was really hungry after a busy day. You’re so angry from embarrassment that you don’t want to let me eat?

When Qiao Xiyan returned to his room, Tang Jingci was still lying on the bed. But her eyelashes were fluttering, and she was obviously not asleep. “Since you’re awake, get up and eat.”

Tang Jingci didn’t dare to open her eyes at all. She didn’t know how to pretend to be blind. As long as she opened her eyes, she would definitely look timid, so she just kept them closed tightly. “Is the light dazzling?” Qiao Xiyan saw that her eyelashes kept flickering, and she seemed very uncomfortable. Tang Jingci’s eyes could see, but things were blurry. Perhaps the light source was swaying, making her feel uncomfortable. “Yes.” At this moment, she could only agree to whatever Qiao Xiyan said.

Qiao Xiyan looked around and found his sunglasses in his luggage. As soon as he reached his hand over, Tang Jingci was so frightened that she retreated and pressed her back against the head of the bed.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just sunglasses.” Qiao Xiyan knew that she definitely felt insecure at a time like this. His tone was very gentle when he spoke to her.

She could feel the sunglasses on her face. His fingers slid gently across the sides of her face, pushing aside a bit of hair caught between them.

“Eat. Have some soup first. I brought you a straw.” Qiao Xiyan passed the soup bowl over and held her hand to grab the straw.

At this moment, Tang Jingci’s eyes were completely open. She could clearly see that the person in front of her was very close to her, and his hand was wrapping around hers...

It was broad and warm.

Her heart was pounding so hard that it was about to squeeze out of her throat.

“I still think it’s inconvenient...” Qiao Xiyan looked at her in a daze. “Should I feed you?”

“...” Tang Jingci really couldn’t see before. Now, she didn’t dare to move at all. She wanted to tell him that she could see, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she didn’t know how to say it.

Qiao Xiyan was already used to her behavior. He grabbed a spoon and fed her soup. When the soup spoon reached her mouth, Tang Jingci could only open her mouth obediently...

“Your face is still very red. Are you sure you don’t have a fever?” Qiao Xiyan had smoked while waiting for the food. When he spoke now, there was a faint tobacco smell, refreshing and smokily pungent.

“No...”

“But when you talk, your breath... it’s very hot.”

Tang Jingci was sitting on the bed and twisting the blanket with both hands, suddenly not knowing what to say.

“You...” Qiao Xiyan saw that she had her head lowered and thought that she couldn’t see. She must have been forcing a smile during the day. Now that she felt uncomfortable, his tone became even gentler.

After all, she’s younger than me and also a girl, so I have to be more tolerant.
