God knows how Yan Feng managed to finish that meal.

On the way back, he rode his electric scooter with the young girl on the back seat, facing the autumn wind, lost in thought.

Unfortunately, this peaceful moment lasted less than five minutes.

"Let go," the man frowned.

Sitting behind him, Chen Xi had no qualms about wrapping her arms around Yan Feng, her restless little hands wandering around his waist like snakes.

"What's wrong?" the young girl giggled, pressing her cheek against the man's back.

Naturally, Yan Feng wouldn't allow her to be so unruly, but since he was still riding on the road, he couldn't afford to be distracted. He could only reprimand her:

"Stop touching my stomach! Sit properly!"

"I won't," Chen Xi retorted, hugging him even tighter. "The road is bumpy here, what if I fall off?"

Yan Feng glanced at the asphalt road below, his mouth twitching, and finally just sighed, issuing a stern warning:

"Behave yourself, stop messing around, or I'll leave you here to walk home on your own!"

"No problem," Chen Xi stuck out her tongue, smiling as she said, "I can just take the bus~"

…………

Once they got home, Yan Feng went straight to his room, from changing his shoes at the door to closing his bedroom door, he didn't say a word, nor did he spare a glance at the young girl behind him.

Chen Xi, however, just smiled, squinting her eyes, her thoughts a mystery.

At that moment.

The man sat in his room and called Gu Qing:

"Hello? Boss, does the company need me to come over?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Qing refused decisively, not forgetting to boast, "Oh, don't worry, I've got everything under control."

"But compared to the company, I think you should pay more attention to the kids. Fighting is no small matter, they need some guidance, don't you think?"

Yan Feng was taken aback, teasingly saying, "I never thought I'd hear something like that from you... But are you sure you don't need me to come back?"

"Oh, I said no, no need. I'm busy here, gotta go, talk later, talk later... beep... beep... beep..."

Yan Feng smiled helplessly, for some reason, talking to Gu Qing now made him feel like an old father...

Sigh, making money isn't easy.

As he was lamenting, a soft knock came from outside, not loud, but just enough for him to hear.

There were only two people living in the house, so it was easy to guess who was outside, but thinking about what had just happened...

Yan Feng lowered his eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, but eventually stood up to open the door.

"What is it?"

He looked at the smiling young girl outside the door, asking in a calm tone.

"Hey, can't I come to you for no reason? Uncle, you're really not very friendly..." the young girl teased.

But the next second, the man reached out to close the door, and seeing the door about to shut, she quickly blocked it with her hand, hurriedly adding:

"Wait, wait, Uncle, I have something, something very important!"

Hearing this, Yan Feng eased up on the door, crossing his arms, his expression cold:

"Go on, what is it?"

Not asking was fine, but once he did, it made Chen Xi a bit embarrassed, standing at the door awkwardly, her face inadvertently turning slightly red, her hands hidden behind her back, concealing something.

The young girl raised her eyes slightly, and the moment her gaze met the man's, she quickly looked away, biting her lip, taking a long time to muster the courage to softly ask:

"Can you... can you promise me something..."

"Let's hear it," Yan Feng didn't give her a chance, cautiously saying, "If you want me to agree, at least let me know what it is."

Seeing this, Chen Xi pouted, acting coy, "Oh, Uncle, just say yes... Hey, hey, don't close the door! I'll tell you, I'll tell you, okay?"

The man stopped his action, placing his hand on the door, ready to close it at any moment.

The air was filled with a strange atmosphere, slightly sour, yet a bit sweet, but unfortunately, in his eyes, it was a sugar-coated poison.

"I... I spent a long time writing this..." Chen Xi took out what she had hidden behind her back, presenting it with both hands as if offering a treasure, while bowing her head in a pleading manner:

"Un... Uncle! Please... please accept this!"

Curious, Yan Feng took it, examining it up and down, it seemed to be just a letter, but before he could ask further, the young girl, like a startled rabbit, turned and fled back to her room.

He could only see the ponytail swaying behind her head, and the slightly reddened ears.

What could it be?

The man held the letter in his hand, walking back, and suddenly, a bizarre possibility popped into his mind.

Could it be... that girl's love letter!?

Thinking of this, the letter felt like a hot potato in his hand, and he flung it away, hitting the wall, and it just happened to land on his computer desk.

So... what should he do now?

Yan Feng was in a dilemma.

The simplest and most straightforward way to deal with it was to throw the love letter into the trash and never mention it again, but would that be too hurtful? What if the young girl couldn't take it...

Thinking of this, he shook his head vigorously, immediately dismissing that option.

Then... open it and take a look?

It seemed... not quite right either... He had never received a love letter or anything like it, didn't know its significance, and felt that opening it would be like indirectly giving the other party a chance to pursue him...

So Yan Feng chose the best solution, which was to do nothing, ignoring the letter on the computer desk, lying down on the bed to rest.

But while the ideal was full, reality was harsh. The more he tried to ignore the letter's existence, the more he couldn't forget it, and even his sleep was restless.

The most troublesome part was, as he closed his eyes to rest, his mind unexpectedly conjured up the image of his sister, Bai Xi.

She was smiling at him, just as he remembered, intelligent, gentle, kind, and forgiving of all his mistakes...

Yan Feng opened his eyes, staring at the empty ceiling, and sighed.

Then, as if accepting his fate, he got up from the bed, walked to the computer, and took out the letter from behind the monitor.

Since that spot was hard to clean, the envelope inevitably had some dust on it, and having just been flung against the wall, the paper was even creased, looking as if it had been thrown in the trash...

The man sighed, nervously opening it, only to be utterly surprised to find...

There was nothing inside!?

Recalling the young girl's shy demeanor earlier, the man belatedly realized...

He had been teased by her!
