Chapter 100 You Were Burning Up

Perhaps Zhao Ran’s strong aura let the pink avoid making him look effeminate, instead it added a distinctive charm.

The three pairs of eyes swept over him repeatedly.

Being stared at made Zhao Ran feel uneasy all over, but he still clenched his teeth and tried to stay calm.

He took a deep breath, his steps felt a little unnatural, as though he walked on cotton, and he slowly moved in front of the three.

As soon as his gaze fell on Bai Youwei, Zhao Ran immediately became uncomfortable.

After struggling for a while, he finally squeezed out a soft, “Weiwei…”

Bai Youwei looked at Zhao Ran’s bashful appearance.

The little face she had been trying to keep stern suddenly collapsed, and she let out a snort of laughter.

She had spent a great deal of effort tricking Zhao Ran into agreeing to join this activity.

As for how to make him put on this pink dress, Bai Youwei originally worried she had no way.

In the end Zhao Ran put it on by himself.

That really delighted her.

When Zhao Ran saw Bai Youwei laugh, he also grinned.

He understood Bai Youwei’s temperament too well, as long as this little grandma laughed, basically nothing serious remained.

Zhao Ran cautiously tested the water, “Are you still angry, Weiwei?”

Bai Youwei did not answer, she simply stood up from the sofa.

Then she clasped her hands behind her back and circled Zhao Ran as though strolling.

Being stared at made Zhao Ran’s heart crawl with goosebumps, so his legs unconsciously clamped together.

After circling several times, Bai Youwei finally stopped.

Without even looking at him directly, she said in a calm voice, “I can forgive you, but you must take a photo with me.”

“Fine.”

Zhao Ran struggled inside for a moment and then nodded.

How could he not know Bai Youwei’s little scheme?

She just wanted to use these photos as leverage during future quarrels.

As long as he could coax Bai Youwei into happiness, this matter really counted for nothing.

“Bingbing, come take a picture of us!”

Bai Youwei beamed.

She hopped over to Jiang Yubing and shook her arm.

It was not easy to see Zhao Ran make a fool of himself, so she had to record it.

After all, such chances were rare.

Besides, Bai Youwei still had her own little plans.

Once she possessed these photos, Zhao Ran would have to listen to her obediently in the future.

When Jiang Yubing heard this, she naturally had no objection, and she simply said, “Sure.”

She genuinely felt happy that the two could move closer.

Probably that was what people called loving the house and its crow.

With joy all over her face, Bai Youwei hugged the dress and ran off to change.

Jiang Yubing stood up to fetch her phone.

In the blink of an eye, only Shen Qingxuan and Zhao Ran remained in the living room.

With a mischievous grin, Shen Qingxuan teased, “Yo~”

“The dress fits you quite well!”

The moment Zhao Ran heard that sarcastic tone, he grew angry, “You still have the nerve to speak.”

“Why did you not tell me in advance that I had to wear this?”

Shen Qingxuan spread his hands with an innocent face, “You never asked me!”

“Besides, if I told you ahead of time, would you have come?”

Zhao Ran spoke plainly, “Definitely not.”

If he really knew he had to wear something like this, he absolutely would not have come unless he lost his mind.

Shen Qingxuan curled his lip, “There you go.”

“If you did not come, who would look ridiculous with me?”

Zhao Ran became speechless, “Damn! You!”

Shen Qingxuan stood next to him, patted his shoulder, and said, “We are bros, we share the sweet and the bitter.”

“How could I embarrass myself on stage while you laugh your guts out under the stage?”

Zhao Ran could not help rolling his eyes, “With a brother-in-law like you, I am really ‘blessed’.”

“Hey, let me tell you something serious.”

Looking at the serious-faced Shen Qingxuan, Zhao Ran felt puzzled, “Speak.”

Shen Qingxuan acted mysteriously, lowering his voice, “Come closer.”

Zhao Ran hesitated a little.

He always sensed that Shen Qingxuan was up to no good.

But seeing that secretive expression, he finally could not resist his curiosity and leaned his ear over.

Then he heard Shen Qingxuan whisper in his ear, “You are smoking hot!”

“What are you muttering? Come here.”

Bai Youwei walked out after changing her dress.

“Okay.”

Zhao Ran answered hurriedly and strode over.

With the phone in her hand, Jiang Yubing looked at the overly polite pair and felt worried.

At the speed they progressed, by the time she and that idiot husband’s child could buy soy sauce, those two still would not pierce the window paper.

Sigh, nothing to do but help.

For this silly best friend, she almost worried herself to death.

“At least hold hands, otherwise people will think you are enemies!”

Jiang Yubing could not help reminding them.

Zhao Ran felt Jiang Yubing made sense and quickly answered, “Alright.”

After speaking, he reached out to take Bai Youwei’s hand.

At that moment Bai Youwei was secretly sizing up Zhao Ran, so she did not hear what Jiang Yubing said at all.

In her eyes, Zhao Ran in the pink skirt really resembled a gentle big sister from Qinghua.

Bai Youwei’s father passed early, and her mother raised her alone.

During school she especially envied those students who had elder brothers and gentle sisters to dote on them.

She often thought that it would be great if she also had such siblings.

While she was reminiscing, Bai Youwei suddenly felt a warm sensation on her hand.

She froze at once.

When she reacted, she immediately slapped Zhao Ran’s hand away.

Bai Youwei’s tone brimmed with dissatisfaction, “Damn Zhao Ran, where are you putting your hand?”

Zhao Ran looked a bit wronged and scratched his head, “I was just listening to Bingbing.”

“Forget it if you don’t want the photo.”

As soon as Zhao Ran said they would not take the photo, Bai Youwei panicked.

Her goal was not achieved yet!

But the thought of holding hands made her hesitate.

She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind.

She decided to treat him as a big sister from Qinghua.

With that in mind, Bai Youwei still shot back, “I never said hold them now, why are you so impatient?”

“So are we holding or not?”

Bai Youwei snorted, moved quietly closer to Zhao Ran, and muttered, “T-then we can hold hands when the photo is taken.”

“If you dare to grope, I will fight you.”

Maybe feeling it was not enough, Bai Youwei added another line.

Watching the two of them, Jiang Yubing laughed and urged, “Come on, pose.”

Zhao Ran extended his hand, and this time Bai Youwei did not refuse.

She gently placed her hand in Zhao Ran’s palm.

The instant their hands touched, they both felt as if electricity shot through them, and their bodies trembled slightly.

A faint blush spread across Bai Youwei’s small face.

She secretly thought to herself, “So this is what holding hands feels like?”

“Damn, Zhao Ran’s hand is big and so secure!”

Watching at the side, Shen Qingxuan purposely jeered, “Come on, get closer, you two.”

“Don’t be so stiff, just act like you normally do.”

Zhao Ran glared at Shen Qingxuan.

Yet as if she thought of something, Bai Youwei moved even closer to Zhao Ran.

She tilted her head lightly onto Zhao Ran’s shoulder, a sweet smile blooming on her face.

Catching the moment, Jiang Yubing pressed the shutter with a click.

The instant the flash went off, time seemed to freeze at that moment full of sweetness and bashfulness.
