Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Owes a Candy

During the eleven-day mini holiday, Fu Ying went to see Lin Lishan and returned in the evening.

She had hoped to encounter Shen Liguang by chance, but to no avail.

Just as she walked out of the residential community, it suddenly started raining, trapping Fu Ying at the bus stop. As she lowered her head to brush off the rainwater, she felt someone stand close by.

The person was tall, making her look quite small beside them.

Fu Ying looked up at the man.

Then immediately looked away.

Just when she thought it was unlikely to meet him, she actually did.

Fu Ying felt a bit nervous, her heart throbbing, she greeted softly, "Brother, what a coincidence."

The rain was falling heavily. Shen Liguang didn’t catch what the girl said, and just nodded subconsciously with an "mmhmm."

"Visiting a classmate?"

"Yeah." Fu Ying lowered her head, not daring to look at him, rubbing her nose and gently nodding.

Shen Liguang stared at her, smiling, "Why do you seem a little nervous?"

Fu Ying swallowed, "No, I’m just a bit cold."

Shen Liguang observed her, dressed rather thinly.

It was already October, autumn had arrived, yet she was dressed so lightly.

Fu Ying was daydreaming when she suddenly realized she was engulfed in his scent, her heartbeat quickened, "Thank you, brother."

His coat was very large, looking especially loose on Fu Ying.

She, particularly petite.

Like a child.

"Return it to me later."

Fu Ying nodded, "Okay."

As it grew darker, they waited a long time at the platform, but no bus came.

Passersby assumed the two were in love, seeking romance, and didn’t remind them that today’s buses had stopped at half past five.

After standing for a long time, Fu Ying’s legs were sore, and she was getting anxious because the bus wasn’t coming, "Why hasn’t today’s bus arrived yet?"

Shen Liguang laughed, "Actually, it’s already stopped."

"..." Fu Ying paused, "Then why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Shen Liguang opened his mouth, unsure how to explain.

In fact, he... did it on purpose.

"I forgot too." Shen Liguang focused on something ahead.

Raindrops fell into puddles, creating ripples.

The rain was getting heavier, looking as if it wouldn’t stop for a while.

Fu Ying was worried, "What shall we do then?"

Shen Liguang thought for a moment, "I’ll get you a taxi."

Fu Ying nodded, "Mhm."

Fu Ying had barely said "mhm" when the man beside her lowered his eyes, his tone playful, "But generally, there are no taxis around here."

"..."

"Brother, can you stop teasing me?"

Fu Ying took a deep breath, her hand over her chest.

The little deer inside were stirred up, bumping into things chaotically.

Bleeding from the head.

His teasing made one overthink.

Fu Ying glanced at her phone, one percent battery left, it switched off before she could see the time.

Fu Ying bit her lip, her voice mild, "Then, brother, could you call my younger brother to pick me up?"

"I’ll take you."

"But," Fu Ying tilted her head as she looked at him, just a glance and quickly averted her eyes, "you don’t have a car with you."

Shen Liguang pointed across the road at a black car, "Over there."

Fu Ying had already been standing for nearly an hour, her legs were sore, she had been enduring it, and she said a bit sheepishly, "Brother, my legs are sore."

"But the rain is heavy right now," Shen Liguang licked his lips, "you give me a piece of candy, and I’ll go through the rain to get the car."

Fu Ying trembled her eyelashes, and quickly took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to him, "Here."

Shen Liguang glanced at her palm, "I want two."

"But I only have one left." Fu Ying sniffed, her voice soft and sticky, "Can I give you another next time?"

Her soft and sticky voice sounded irresistibly sweet.

Shen Liguang smiled, licking his lips.

Fu Ying, feeling a bit embarrassed, asked, "Can I, brother?"

"Okay, just remember."

Fu Ying nodded, "I won’t forget."

Fu Ying watched the man run into the rain, quickly driving the car over.

Fu Ying got into the back seat.

Fu Ying arrived home, and as she got out of the car, he joked inappropriately and reminded her, "You still owe me a candy."

"I remember."

"Mm, go on in then, it’s still raining, don’t get wet."

Fu Ying nodded and turned to run back home.

The windshield wipers swung back and forth as Shen Liguang looked through the glass at the girl’s retreating figure.

She raised his jacket over her head and ran inside the house.

Today, his mood was good.

Another reason to meet up had arisen.

When Fu Ying returned, Fu Mingchuan was reading the newspaper on the living room sofa.

He looked up to see his daughter running upstairs with a man’s jacket.

Fu Mingchuan hadn’t even had the chance to speak to his daughter before the girl had dashed upstairs.

Fu Ying’s heart was racing, as she leaned against the door and lowered her head to smell the scent of his jacket.

There was no smell of smoke, just his scent.

Fu Ying blushed, biting her lips until they turned a deep red.

Another reason to see him had emerged.

Fu Mingchuan was lost in thought downstairs, as his daughter had returned home holding a man’s clothes.

Could this be... puppy love?

Surely it couldn’t be Li Guang?

Fu Mingchuan couldn’t help but sigh. A daughter grows up but cannot be kept home forever, just afraid that she’s too young, impulsive, and unable to keep things in proportion.

Then at such a young age...

Fu Mingchuan shook his head, not daring to think further.

Some things, being a grown man, he really found difficult to discuss with his daughter.

...

On the last day of the long holiday, Fu Ying went to see Xia Jinyun.

She happened to have a day off and took her to wander around a small accessories mall.

It was Fu Ying’s first visit.

She found it fascinating.

"Try this on and show your sister."

Xia Jinyun gave Fu Ying a cat-ear headband to put on.

The little one wearing cat ears was quite cute: "Sister is giving this to you."

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

When they left the small accessories mall, it was already dark.

The two sat down at a night market stall and ordered barbeque.

Xia Jinyun asked, "Do you, drink beer?"

Fu Ying licked her lips and nodded, curious to have a taste.

Xia Jinyun was concerned and asked again, "Uncle Fu won’t mind, right?"

"Just a taste, it’s fine."

Fu Ying experienced eating barbeque with beer for the first time and suddenly discovered this combination was indeed a worldly delight.

"Yingying."

After a bottle of beer, Fu Ying felt dizzy and realized someone was calling her.

She looked up to see a blurry figure of Fu Yi.

She called out "Big brother," and immediately slumped down.

Xia Jinyun was startled and opened her mouth: "...I didn’t mean to let her drink on purpose..."

Fu Yi laughed: "It’s fine, I know."

Xia Jinyun lowered her head: "You should take her home then."

"Thank you."

"What’s there to thank me for?" Xia Jinyun was a bit nervous, not understanding.

"Thank you for taking her out for the day."

Xia Jinyun shook her head: "It’s nothing."

"Then, I’ll take her home."

Xia Jinyun took a deep breath and nodded: "Yeah."

"Also, get home early and be safe."

Xia Jinyun nodded.

Watching Fu Yi’s retreating figure, she gave a bitter smile. There was a bit of bitterness in her heart; this, should be considered concern, right?
