It was a pity that the cocktails the bartender made weren't actually very strong. Even after so long, the little girl was still wide - awake. It seemed she wasn't going to get drunk.
He had originally planned to wait until she got tipsy and coax her into showing him her fox tail, but now it seemed that opportunity was gone.
"Yeah!" Rong Lan was completely oblivious and didn't realize Chu Hengyuan was approaching at all.
It wasn't until she felt her back press against a warm "wall".
Rong Lan: "???"
What was that?
She was so startled that her ears fluffed up.
"G - ge, Gege?"
"Mm, it's me. I suddenly wanted to hug Lanlan. Lanlan won't reject me, right?" Chu Hengyuan wore a gentle smile as he pulled the tense girl into his arms.
This was a life - or - death question for the little fox. Her ears twitched nervously. "How about Gege puts on some clothes before hugging me?" She wanted to refuse, but her intuition told her that if she did, he would be sad, so she couldn't.
But!
Even though he was wearing a bath towel, he was still half - naked. She was afraid that if she moved even a little, she might accidentally pull his towel off, and that would be bad.
"Isn't it nice to hug like this? This way, Lanlan can feel my heartbeat for you more clearly." Chu Hengyuan deliberately teased her. "When I get close to Lanlan, my heart beats faster and my whole body gets hot."
Rong Lan's face flushed. "It's me who's all hot now!"
Just thinking about the possibility of accidentally pulling off his bathrobe and seeing him completely naked made her feel like her whole body was on fire.
Chu Hengyuan chuckled and playfully blew into her ear. He watched as the little girl's originally jade - colored earlobes turned bright red, feeling quite satisfied. "Didn't Lanlan promise to reward me with a kiss? How about Lanlan turns around and kisses me now?"
Rong Lan, who didn't even dare to take her hands off her eyes, shook her head firmly. "No! I'm closing my eyes. I can't kiss accurately."
"Can't kiss accurately?" Chu Hengyuan almost burst out laughing. His little girl's excuse - making skills were really mediocre. "If you can't kiss accurately, it means you're not familiar enough with me. You need more practice."
"Like me, I can kiss you even with my eyes closed." After all, he had secretly kissed her many times in the dark.
Rong Lan felt so hot that steam seemed to be rising from the top of her head. "You should put on your pajamas first! Even if we're going to practice, it doesn't have to be right now. Put on your clothes first!"
Chu Hengyuan lowered his head and kissed the back of her neck through her long, loose hair. "I just want to be willful this time. If you don't agree to kiss me, I won't put on my clothes."
Rong Lan: "!!!"
The little fox blushed with embarrassment. "Y - you, are you drunk?"
Her Gege was usually so gentle and self - controlled. How could he say such bold words?
But it didn't make sense. He had only taken two or three sips of wine. She had drunk the same amount as him, and she wasn't drunk. How could he be?
Chu Hengyuan knew the little girl would think this way. After all, he had thought the same about her before. "Lanlan should know whether I'm drunk or not."
"No, I think I might not be so sure anymore." The little fox shook her head.
Chu Hengyuan laughed. "If you turn your head now, you'll be able to tell if I'm sober."
The little fox continued to shake her head, extremely determined. "I don't want to!"
Chu Hengyuan sighed and gently rubbed his fingertips against the little girl's blushing collarbone. "If you don't want to, then don't. Since Lanlan is unwilling, I won't force you too much. I'll go put on my clothes."
He deliberately lowered his voice, and his tone carried a hint of inexpressible sadness.
Rong Lan's fox ears twitched. She reached out and slapped his hand on her waist, then slightly tilted her shoulder and looked back.
She still didn't open her eyes, but when she tilted her head up, she accurately kissed his lips.
Chu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise and didn't move at all, letting her do as she pleased. There was gentle joy hidden in his eyes.
His little girl...
Rong Lan just lightly pecked his lips, then didn't move too far away. Her lips were close to his as she murmured, "Gege is the worst!"
Chu Hengyuan held back the desire to kiss her back. "Hm? Why do you say that?"
"I know you're just pretending to be sad." Rong Lan held the hand on her waist. "But I still fall for it! Even though I know you're pretending, I still don't want to see you like that."
In the end, Chu Hengyuan couldn't hold back and kissed her back, but he just imitated her and lightly pecked her lips. "I just discovered a fatal weakness of mine."
Rong Lan, who was a bit dazed from the kiss, almost instinctively opened her eyes to look at him, but fortunately, her rationality prevailed and she controlled herself. "A fatal weakness?"
"Yeah, a fatal weakness." Chu Hengyuan laughed and took a small step back. "I'm too easily satisfied. That won't do." He had already planned how to tease his little girl, but before he could even carry out all the plans he had thought of, his little girl, who was full of sweet words, had already cheered him up.
"Alright, I really won't tease you anymore. Lanlan, let go. I'll go put on my clothes."
Although there was heating in the room, just wearing a bath towel wasn't enough. He was even afraid that if he dawdled for too long, he'd catch a cold.
Rong Lan obediently let go of his hand. "Gege, hurry up and put on your clothes. I'll open my eyes after you're dressed."
"Okay, I'll call you after I'm dressed." As Chu Hengyuan said, he turned around to find his clothes.
Rong Lan, still with her eyes closed and facing the wall, counted the seconds, wondering how long it would take her Gege to get dressed.
However, just when Rong Lan had counted to 152 seconds, she heard Chu Hengyuan's voice. "I'm done. Lanlan, you can open your eyes."
Although she thought the speed was too fast, Rong Lan completely trusted that Chu Hengyuan wouldn't lie to her about this, so she turned around and opened her eyes.
Just one second after opening her eyes, Rong Lan closed them again. The temperature on her face, which had just cooled down a bit, rose again. "Gege!"
The little fox stamped her foot in anger.
Chu Hengyuan took the towel off his head that he had been using to dry his wet hair and shook his head with a laugh. "I've already put on my pants."
The little girl's tone made it seem as if he was completely naked and she had seen him like that.
"But you still haven't put on your top!" Rong Lan covered her face.
Chu Hengyuan put on his pajamas. "Why isn't Lanlan so reactive when she sees someone without a top on in short videos?"
Sometimes, his little girl's pre - sleep activity was to watch short videos. Out of curiosity, he would take a look and had seen her watching videos of young guys doing sports with their upper bodies bare. The little girl watched those videos with great interest and never blushed.
If she wasn't closing her eyes, Rong Lan really wanted to roll her eyes at him. "That's not the same! I blush when I see Gege because I'm shy. If they were the same as Gege to me, that would be a disaster!"
