(12) Stop staring, your invisible eyes are about to pop out!
"Hmm... that... " Song Min had been brewing the word "brother" all along, but unfortunately it was so stingy and refused to squeeze out from between his teeth.
Wen Yan glanced at Song Min and smiled slightly, "Just call me by my name."
Silence.
Embarrassing.
Because the ice on the road was too thick, Wen Yan didn't drive, so the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder towards home.
"Ah..." Song Min's foot slipped and his body involuntarily leaned backward.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and swift-handed, grabbing her arm and wrapping his around her waist, holding her steady.
Song Min felt her heart was going to jump out, it was too scary, if she really fell down, it would hurt so much... She stood still and took two deep breaths to calm down her heartbeat, looking at Wen Yan, "You scared me to death, thank you."
The clear and bright eyes had a hint of smile in them, under the dim yellow light, the whole person was warm and cozy. "No wonder your mom didn't let you come to the hospital to see Song Hao."
"Haha." Song Min laughed dryly twice, "After all, it's a big head, with the center of gravity on the brain."
"Let's go." Wen Yan put his arm around Song Min's shoulder and walked forward naturally.
Song Min's body stiffened, her eyes widened, she couldn't move her legs, a wave of heat rushed from her back to the top of her head, and her face began to burn.
He's getting too familiar with her...
"Don't stare like that, your invisible eyes are about to pop out."
Song Min was speechless, twisted his shoulders and subconsciously shifted to the side.
Warm words cannot replace helping hands.
Song Min felt his face getting hotter and hotter, as if it could cook an egg.
She said calmly: "Are you trying to test how fast I react? I can't guarantee that I'll always be able to catch you just in time."
Song Min's movements came to an abrupt halt.
"But you, you, you... We're not even close, you..." Song Min's face was burning like it was on fire, her words became incoherent, she almost wanted to slap herself, what kind of big deal hadn't she seen before, and yet she was stuttering when talking to him? Finally, she took a deep breath and said: "Men and women should not be intimate!"
"Then I'll let go." Looking at Song Min's ears which were red to the point of bleeding, Wen Yan really wanted to laugh, he put his hands in his pockets.
Song Minli let out a breath of relief, feeling much more at ease, the temperature on his face slowly dropping as he continued walking forward.
"Ah!" Song Min's foot slipped again.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up, "Be careful."
Song Min's nose was filled with a familiar refreshing scent, like the fragrance of mint, and his face suddenly turned red, standing up and silently hugging Wen Yan's arm.
"Aren't men and women supposed to keep a distance from each other?"
She suppressed her smile and looked at Song Min with a serious face, her delicate skin taking on a yellowish hue under the streetlights, her eyes shining astonishingly bright.
"Haha, you think I didn't say anything." Song Min awkwardly shifted his gaze, looking left and right but not daring to look at Wen Yan. A guy who looks so good, what's the point? And his voice sounds so good too.
"Put it in your pocket."
"Oh."
Then Wen Yan's hand wrapped around Song Min's shoulder again.
Song Min's whole body was stiff, but she would rather freeze her hands...
"Uh...my mom wants you to come over for dinner tonight." Song Min had no choice but to bring up the task his mom gave him that morning.
"Uh-huh."
The two people fell silent again.
"Hmm... I think it's the most embarrassing thing to fall down while walking alone in this weather and then pretend to be especially strong and get up and continue walking." Song Min couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere, so he started making small talk.
"Used to falling often?" Wen Yan ruthlessly exposed her.
Those warm words aren't warming at all! Song Min chuckled twice, "You've seen through all of this."
Wen Yan didn't say a word, seemingly chuckling softly twice, his low voice reaching Song Min's ears, making him feel like he was going to explode.
