Chapter 159: Am I Dragon Brother Heavy or Light?
Watching Hu Yu Ying nibble on her red lips, looking half shy, half embarrassed, Dragon Brother couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He reached up and lightly tapped her on the head. “What are you mumbling about? There’s no one in this world as serious as Dragon Brother!”
Hu Yu Ying rubbed the spot where Dragon Brother had tapped her—no pain at all…
But the very next second, her shoe was kicked off.
Hu Yu Ying let out a tiny hum, clutching her hands tight.
The skin touching Dragon Brother’s palm felt like an electric shock, gently flashing with a tingling sensation from the contact—kind of itchy, but not in a bad way.
Then, her whole body shivered, that kind of spine-tingling, soul-numbing feeling making her nearly scream: “Dragon Brother!”
Her sock was also pulled off, leaving her tiny foot fully exposed in front of Dragon Brother.
She held her sleeves tightly, dare not look at him, cheeks flushed, struggling to steady her racing heart, squeaking out: “I, I think I’m fine now.”
Her plump, pinky toes curled slightly, her nervousness and prickling shyness practically palpable in her body language.
Gulp~
Hu Yu Ying blinked hurriedly, fighting the blush in her cheeks, and cautiously peered at Dragon Brother, sneaking a look.
“Hmm~… gentle, gentle…” she murmured softly.
Gripping her hands so tightly, that prickling, tingling feeling made her whole body tense up, her posture leaning unconsciously toward him.
Dragon Brother stared blankly at his hand. “What the—what am I doing?”
He shook his head. “Don’t be nervous. Dragon Brother’s just checking if you hurt your bones.”
Seeing his serious expression, Hu Yu Ying nodded confusedly. “Oh.”
Next moment, she bit her lip lightly. “Dragon… Dragon Brother…”
“I’m checking right now. Don’t move.”
“But, Dragon Brother, I didn’t sprain my ankle.”
Dragon Brother’s movements paused for a beat, then he suddenly realized. “Oh right, right! I’m just worried about you. Concerned, you know? Let me put your shoe back on.”
Unseen by Hu Yu Ying, Dragon Brother viciously shook his head. “I’m a legit person!”
After finishing what he was doing, Dragon Brother stood up and said, “All done. No injuries. Rest for a bit, then try walking again.”
“Mm-hm.” Hu Yu Ying lowered her head, cheeks tinged with shy innocence, her long lashes fluttering as her fingers twisted her sleeves repeatedly…
She secretly looked at Dragon Brother but accidentally made eye contact.
Hu Yu Ying immediately lowered her head, self-conscious, feeling a bit awkward.
Dragon Brother instinctively looked away, darting his eyes elsewhere. “This water’s pretty nice, huh?”
Hu Yu Ying heard his words and instinctively looked toward the lake. The dark sky reflected the shimmering water—rippling, mirroring the yet-to-rise moon. It really was quite beautiful.
She softly responded, “Hmm.”
They sat on a giant rock.
Dragon Brother had many questions.
Hu Yu Ying had many things she wanted to say.
But neither knew how to start.
As time passed, the park ranger approached, reminding everyone that the park’s east gate was closing soon.
“Shall we go?”
“Mm-hm.” Hu Yu Ying nodded.
Suddenly, she exclaimed softly but quickly covered her mouth with her hand: “Dragon Brother!”
“Shut up. Don’t want to hear your nagging. So annoying.” Dragon Brother carried Hu Yu Ying on his back as they headed outside.
Feeling the sturdy warmth of Dragon Brother’s back, Hu Yu Ying’s face was slightly flushed. She whispered softly, “Dragon Brother, am I heavy or not?”
“Eh, not bad. Now that I’ve eaten well, I can carry you with one hand,” he replied casually.
Hearing that, Hu Yu Ying smirked behind him.
She chuckled softly, then cautiously looped her arms around Dragon Brother’s shoulders.
“If you’re going to hold on tight, then do it already. Don’t drag your feet—I’m getting a bit uncomfortable!”
The moment she finished speaking, Hu Yu Ying tightened her arms without hesitation.
Her heart pounded fiercely, and finally, she greedily pressed her head against Dragon Brother’s back.
Maybe… just a little closer?
And then, she didn’t want to lift her head again.
Dragon Brother twitched slightly.
The girl’s figure was well-developed.
Soft and close against his back, his heart missed a beat.
It was as if he could feel her breath, her pounding heart, her initial nervousness gradually easing into relaxation.
A faint smile appeared on Dragon Brother’s lips.
Until they reached the taxi and he finally placed Hu Yu Ying down.
His breathing grew a bit heavier.
Listening to his breaths beside her, Hu Yu Ying felt more and more shy. But honestly, if given the chance, she’d still choose to be carried by Dragon Brother again.
Glancing at his side profile, Hu Yu Ying’s eyes flickered. She tiptoed subtly, gently, and secretly touched his hand resting on the car seat.
Dragon Brother adjusted his breathing. His bl**d, sparked by movement, was a little fervent but he didn’t sense her small touch.
Noticing he hadn’t noticed, Hu Yu Ying’s tiny finger carefully rested on his.
Suddenly, Dragon Brother moved slightly, and the warm fingertip quickly withdrew. Though just for a moment, Hu Yu Ying was overjoyed—her heart couldn’t stop fluttering.
“Why are you so happy?” Dragon Brother asked with a smile, noticing her goofy grin, which looked adorable.
“Can’t tell you,” Hu Yu Ying said proudly for a moment. That was her little secret.
They hadn’t been this happy since arriving in Kyoto.
The cars on the road were few, and they arrived back near A University quickly.
But near the campus, even at that hour, there were still many people around.
Getting out of the car, Hu Yu Ying took a few steps herself—thankfully, the pain from her ankle hadn’t flared up as badly as before.
It wasn’t exactly pain now, more like a strange feeling, but it didn’t interfere with walking anyway!
“Take it slow, and it’s still early before lights out,” Dragon Brother said at the campus gate.
“Got it,” Hu Yu Ying turned to him, smiling seriously.
Honestly, since arriving in Kyoto, they’d never had a day like today.
She felt truly happy—so content.
“Bye, Dragon Brother.”
“Let’s go.”
Hu Yu Ying moved forward, then suddenly stopped. She took a deep breath.
Turning back, her face blossomed into a radiant smile, captivating everyone around her.
First day at a new school, she nearly cried from his gaze.
But since then, he kept watching her.
And right now, he was still watching her…
