Xu Yiyi also did not know why she was so impulsive that day.
She actually took the initiative to kiss Yan Dongxu.
At that time, she was just thinking of retaliation.
Since it was said online that she had a relationship with Yan Dongxu, then let there be a relationship.
She was disheartened at the time because the people scolding her online used to be her fans who adored her.
Her so-called retaliation was not only against Yan Dongxu, but also a demonstration against the netizens.
What Xu Yiyi did not expect was that Yan Dongxu was not as bad as she had imagined.
Although his mouth was quite cocky, he was very considerate of the people around him.
This was also why Xu Yiyi suddenly opened her heart to him.
"This is the neighborhood where I lived when I was young."
"People come to clean every week, let's go take a look upstairs," Xu Yiyi took him upstairs.
It was a very old neighborhood.
The pipes in the corridor were intertwined and the wires were very messy. The walls were all black.
The stairs were gentle, and even after climbing to the fifth floor, one would not feel tired.
Xu Yiyi took out her key chain, which only had car keys and an old key that looked like it had history.
Opening the door released a unique smell that old houses have.
The room layout looked very old, with a 1980s or 1990s feel.
The dining table and dressing table were made of solid wood with traces of time all over them.
Many photo frames were hanging on the walls, with Xu Yiyi's childhood photos, as well as her parents'.
But most were of her and her grandma.
Xu Yiyi said every year on her birthday, she would ask her neighbor Uncle Zhang to take a photo of her and her grandma with his film camera.
So the backgrounds of all the photos were the same, always the unpainted east wall of the bedroom.
"Let's take a photo," Xu Yiyi suggested.
Yan Dongxu's nose turned sour. He touched Xu Yiyi’s hair and nodded lightly.
The two of them sat on the bed, with the east wall still as the background.
Click!
A photo with beautification filter was taken.
Xu Yiyi carefully saved it.
"Thank you for accompanying me today."
After speaking, Xu Yiyi gave him a big hug.
"If anything happens in the future, don't endure it yourself. I will help you," said Yan Dongxu as he hugged Xu Yiyi, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
He suddenly understood why Xu Yiyi was so tough before and even threatened him.
That was just a self-protection after all.
After years of struggle in society, she had seen too many people with ill intentions.
So she disguised herself as a thorny rose, using various methods to defend her own interests and benefits.
In fact, without the disguise, she was still that innocent and cute girl.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for the contempt and threats from me and my company towards you before," Xu Yiyi said very seriously.
"Tsk tsk tsk, seeing you so sincere, I'll let you off this time."
"Let's go. I still have to go back to stream. You don't really want us to become a one night couple, do you?" said Yan Dongxu as he patted her on the back, indicating it was getting late.
"Humph, I'm going back with you to stream!" Xu Yiyi pouted.
"Really? The whole internet is discussing us now. If you go back with me, we really can’t explain it clearly anymore.”
"What? Are you afraid? I'm a big star letting a small streamer like you freeload off my popularity for free, and you still don't want to?" Xu Yiyi deliberately annoyed him.
"Hey! There's just the two of us in this room, a single man and woman. Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you?"
"I'm scared of you!" Xu Yiyi took the initiative to kiss him.
Yan Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and fought back with equal intensity.
After a simple intimacy, Yan Dongxu looked at Xu Yiyi’s pretty face affectionately.
"Come home with me!"
"Okay!"
He pulled Xu Yiyi out and when they went downstairs, Xu Yiyi jumped directly onto him.
"Carry me!"
Yan Dongxu let her come down first, tied his coat around her waist, then carried Xu Yiyi on his back.
Xu Yiyi hung on him like a sloth with her head leaning against his shoulder, still mischievously kept blowing air into his ears.
"If you continue being naughty, I won't be polite anymore!"
Yan Dongxu warned.
"Humph, what can you possibly do to me? Hit me?"
Xu Yiyi provocatively said, relentless in her blowing.
Yan Dongxu suddenly swung around, flipping the Xu Yiyi on his back to the front.
Xu Yiyi's face instantly turned red, feeling strange somehow.
"Yan Dongxu! What are you doing! Let me down, how embarrassing! We're on the streets!"
Xu Yiyi struggled hard to get down.
But Yan Dongxu had her knees firmly in his grip and would not let go.
"Oh no, everyone is watching us. Let go!"
"Brother, it wasn't on purpose. I was wrong okay? The taxi is here. Let me down."
Xu Yiyi kept begging for mercy before Yan Dongxu finally let her off.
"See if you dare to be cocky again!"
Yan Dongxu said triumphantly. Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain on his arm.
"Ah! Why did you bite me! Are you a dog?"
The pain made Yan Dongxu cry out loud.
Xu Yiyi clutched his arm, biting him so hard she still wasn't satisfied, even making whining dog sounds, inexplicably cute.
"What happened to the young man? Bitten by a dog? He’s got to get rabies shots. Rabies can kill. Looks like it’s broke out. He won't live long!"
The taxi driver, who was about to stop to pick up customers, saw this and thought Xu Yiyi had rabies. He drove straight off.
Pfft!
Yan Dongxu burst out laughing. "See, even the driver misunderstood."
Xu Yiyi was confused, let go of her bite and pointed at the driver cursing loudly, "It's you who has rabies! Your whole family has rabies!"
There was now a purple bite mark on Yan Dongxu's arm. This girl bites really hard.
But he didn’t say much. She already bit him, he couldn’t bite her back right?
But then again...
"You're a top celebrity. Pay attention to your image! Don't act like some shrew."
"None of your business! There are no cameras now. What's wrong? Scared of my double-sided personality?"
Xu Yiyi arrogantly said, revealing a sly smile.
"Alright, I concede to you. You wait for a cab here, I'll go to the supermarket to get some things."
As Yan Dongxu spoke, he walked towards the streetside supermarket.
"What are you buying? With that lecherous look on your face, I forbid you. Come back here."
Xu Yiyi ran over to pull him back.
"No can do, I have to go! Let me go."
Yan Dongxu put on an expression of not fearing death and charged into battle, making Xu Yiyi's teeth itch.
Thump!
A perfect hand throw.
Yan Dongxu enjoyed a 180-degree spin in the air.
He was dumbstruck.
"Humph! See what happens when you get cocky. Feels good right!"
Xu Yiyi clapped her hands and said angrily.
"Al...alright, you win. It’s fine, let's go back first and work on the mood. I’ll order delivery. It’s the same thing."
“Looking for death!”
Xu Yiyi squatted down and fiercely pinched Yan Dongxu’s thigh, making him jump up and down.
Fortunately a taxi stopped just in time, otherwise his thigh would not have made it.
The two of them sat quietly in the car for a while, a rare moment.
Xu Yiyi leaned tiredly on his shoulder and dozed off.
Obviously she hadn’t slept well these past few days.
Yan Dongxu hugged her while looking out the window at the darkening sky until they reached his neighborhood.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
