Chapter 482 - 163: The Strong Loli and the "Upside-Down Onion" Uncle_2
Ke Lian also glanced at the hand he was holding with Du Xixi, nodded with a cheerful mood, "Hmm, let’s eat, otherwise the food will get cold."
The little episode of "Chen Yin slipping" was finally over, Du Xixi sat down and first looked at Chen Yin, who seemed a bit awkward sitting next to Miao Miao, and then smiled and winked at Ke Lian beside her.
"What’s up?" Ke Lian lowered his head and asked softly.
Du Xixi also lowered her voice, making sure only Ke Lian and herself could hear, "I’ve never seen my brother so bashful. Damsel saves hero, I’m afraid my brother won’t feel at ease around Miao Miao from now on."
Ke Lian raised his gaze, glanced at Miao Miao who looked calm and Chen Yin who occasionally sneaked peeks at Miao Miao with his head slightly lowered, the smile on his lips paused for a while, then lifted even more.
He whispered to Du Xixi, "Do you know when men usually develop feelings for women?"
Du Xixi was taken aback first, not understanding Ke Lian’s meaning, but following Ke Lian’s gestures and glancing at the opposite side where Chen Yin and Miao Miao were, seeing Miao Miao acting normally yet Chen Yin seemed overly awkward like a teen, suddenly an idea struck her, making her cover her mouth in shock with both hands.
"No way..." Du Xixi leaned closer to Ke Lian’s ear, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes, "Brother and Miao Miao? It’s just impossible!"
Du Xixi wasn’t dense about feelings, whether it was her own experience with Ke Lian or watching her friends, like Mo Ying falling in love, Miao Miao and Chen Yin seemed nothing more than mere acquaintances with a hint of distance.
Just because Miao Miao saved Chen Yin? Du Xixi wrinkled her nose, honestly speaking, if she were Chen Yin, every time meeting Miao Miao would remind her of today, then feel so ashamed that she wouldn’t dare face Miao Miao again.
Being rescued wasn’t the reason for Chen Yin’s deep embarrassment, the reason he couldn’t face Miao Miao squarely was entirely because of the way Miao Miao carried him just now... it was simply too bizarre!
Powerful loli and "uprooted tree" uncle? Just imagining it, Du Xixi felt her expression was about to uncontrollably collapse.
Ke Lian chuckled softly, the sound almost imperceptible, yet Du Xixi heard it clearly because Ke Lian was speaking right beside her ear: "Xixi, let’s just wait and see."
Ke Lian, being a man, although with limited romantic experience, deeply understood the reason behind Chen Yin’s awkwardness.
As a grown man, every time Chen Yin attended banquets, he inevitably had to bring a female companion, yet seen in those numerous occasions, he never seemed moved, to the extent he seemed reluctant to even touch his companions’ hands.
Although Miao Miao’s and Chen Yin’s posture was odd just now, Ke Lian coming from the gate, clearly saw a patch of red behind Chen Yin’s ear.
Yes, not out of shame, not out of awkwardness, but due to an unexpected flutter of the heart.
Ke Xing was putting bibs on the two kids, so dinner hadn’t formally started yet. Ke Lian held Du Xixi’s hand under the table, with a smile carrying a meaning Xixi couldn’t comprehend, but when Chen Yin looked up, curious about what his sister and Ke Lian were whispering about, he instantly understood the meaning behind Ke Lian’s smile.
"Boom!"
Chen Yin’s mind felt like it exploded, sensing that annoying fellow Ke Lian had once again seen through his heart, at that moment, he couldn’t even bother being curious about his sister and Ke Lian’s couple conversation, just lowered his head, pressing his left thumb against his right index finger with some dilemma.
Yes, that’s right, even though Chen Yin didn’t want to admit it, he was indeed shamefully attracted to Miao Miao, that little girl.
In the instant before the fall from slipping, Chen Yin wasn’t actually very scared; he’s tough-skinned, even rolling on the wooden floor of the Ke Family wouldn’t harm anything essential, yet he couldn’t help closing his eyes, quietly awaiting the pain to come.
That pain never came; instead, he was greeted by a slender back, hard yet with some softness. Before he could turn a thought in his mind or open his eyes, he felt a fluffy thing sweep across the side of his face.
Chen Yin felt the side of his face itching, opened his eyes to see it was Miao Miao’s pretty, fluffy, dark black cat tail, at that time, Chen Yin almost reached out to catch that tail.
