Chapter 52: Chapter 51: It’s Just Too Exciting

However, seeing Xiao Ran dragging a large cardboard box in front of her, the happy expression on her small face instantly turned to confusion.

She asked subconsciously, "What’s this?"

’Didn’t Brother Xiao Ran say he was just going out to buy a broom? Why did he come back with such a big box?’

Looking at the curious girl, Xiao Ran suddenly changed his mind. He decided to keep her in suspense for a bit and let her wonder before telling her.

’Here’s that hanging chair you wanted. What do you think? Happy?’

He feigned nonchalance and said, "Oh, this is just a table I bought."

"Oh, okay," the sensible girl replied, quickly extending her slender arms and placing her small hands under the box, wanting to help them lift it.

"Why don’t you go open the patio door instead," Xiao Ran said.

’After all, the two of them were more than enough.’

"Oh, okay, sure." The obedient girl quickly scurried over to the patio, pushing the door open for them and revealing the completely bare little yard.

The delivery guy asked, "Where do you want it?"

"Just put it over there on the right," Xiao Ran said.

’It’s so heavy, I really wouldn’t have been able to move it by myself.’

"Alright."

With that, the two men laboriously placed the box in the corner on the right.

The girl blinked, a question popping up in her mind. ’Isn’t this spot supposed to be for my hanging chair?’

’Why is he putting a table here now?’

’Could it be that Brother Xiao Ran forgot his promise to me?’

At this thought, the girl couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, but she didn’t let it show. She just stood to the side, watching intently.

Perhaps because the box was so big, and because the delivery guy was panting, the girl couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother Xiao Ran, this table of yours is really heavy."

Xiao Ran glanced at her. "I already told you it’s a table. Of course it’s heavy."

Hearing this, the girl pouted.

’I was just asking. Why is he being so mean?’

After setting the item down, the delivery guy wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Well, the package is delivered, so I’ll be going now."

Xiao Ran nodded and said to Yan Xici, "Go get a pair of scissors."

"Okay."

The girl sniffled, went back to her room, and took out the small pair of scissors she normally used, clutching them in her hand.

’Brother Xiao Ran must have forgotten about buying me a hanging chair.’

She sighed. ’Oh well, if he forgot, he forgot.’

’Besides, I probably won’t be living here for much longer anyway. Getting a hanging chair would be a bit of a waste.’

Consoling herself, she walked back to the small yard and handed the little scissors she used to Xiao Ran, who was examining the cardboard box.

She tried her best to shake off her gloomy mood.

Xiao Ran took the scissors and, without hesitation, started opening the box. He peeled away layers of foam and plastic, finally revealing a roundish metal object.

The girl stood to the side, blinking her big eyes, watching with intense concentration.

’What on earth is that?’

’What kind of table is shaped like this?’

’It doesn’t look like a table...’

As Xiao Ran peeled away more and more of the packaging, a complete hanging chair was finally revealed.

Xiao Ran looked at Yan Xici with feigned surprise, like he was amusing a small child. "Ta-da!"

In an instant, the girl’s eyes lit up, her expression one of utter delight.

’Oh my god, Brother Xiao Ran actually bought me a hanging chair!!!!’

’She knew Brother Xiao Ran wouldn’t lie to her!’

The white, birdcage-shaped hanging chair had exquisite floral patterns carved into its openwork frame, and a thick, plush cushion was laid inside.

She felt her girlish heart was about to melt from the cuteness.

’I love it so, so much!’

Her heart was pounding in her chest from excitement! THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!

’She swore this was the best, best, best gift she had ever received!’

The girl immediately grabbed Xiao Ran’s hand, her soft little hand swinging it back and forth. Her dewy eyes sparkled with beautiful flecks of light.

"Brother Xiao Ran, I knew you were the best!"

The young woman’s voice was already soft and sweet, but now, tinged with a slight tremor from her excitement, it sounded absolutely lovely.

’She was just so excited!!!’

In that same instant, Xiao Ran felt his heart skip a beat. A tingling numbness spread through the hand she was holding, as if a faint electric current was passing through it.

’She... she was actually holding his hand and acting all cute with him!!!’

In his heart, the scales tipped another inch toward Yan Xici.

Seeing the strange expression on Xiao Ran’s face, the girl, who had been lost in her joy, suddenly realized her actions had been a little too intimate. Her face instantly turned red.

’This is killing me!’

’Why can’t I stop myself from getting all handsy with him!!!’

’I actually grabbed Brother Xiao Ran’s hand!’

’And acted all cute with him!’

The girl felt a surge of adrenaline.

’This feeling... it’s embarrassing, exciting, and thrilling all at once.’

She was so embarrassed she could die, and even began to wonder if she had some kind of hyperactivity disorder.

’Why can’t I ever stop myself from doing these intimate things to Brother Xiao Ran!’

The innocent young woman had no idea that love is truly a magical thing. Not only does it pour out from your eyes and your heart, but your body also makes uncontrollable, subconscious reactions.

Yan Xici quickly let go of his hand, forcing herself to appear calm despite her nervousness. "I-I was just really happy. Brother Xiao Ran, please don’t mind."

’The innocent girl was convinced she must seem like she had a hyperactivity disorder in Brother Xiao Ran’s eyes. She just prayed he wouldn’t hold it against her!’

’Although, if he really wanted to make an issue of it, she wouldn’t mind if he pulled her hand right back!’

After a brief daze, Xiao Ran’s heartbeat returned to normal.

He reached out and flicked the girl on her forehead. "I’ve told you before, a young lady needs to be more composed. You can’t be like this!"

With that, he hurried off toward the living room.

Right then, his throat felt a little dry. ’I need a drink of water,’ he thought.

Watching his retreating back, the girl let out a long sigh of relief.

’Besides being relieved, she suddenly felt that this ’little sister’ role wasn’t so bad after all.’

’After all, she could use her status as his ’sister’ to make ambiguous moves on him without him realizing it!’

’That moment just now was so thrilling!’

’Speaking of which, Brother Xiao Ran’s arm is so warm.’

’Warm and firm, with an indescribable feeling of strength.’

’It’s just too easy to get addicted to!’

’If she could, she’d actually like to grab it again.’
