Chapter 2986 Gift of Love
Chapter 2986 Gift of Love
Charlene was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she had already bumped into his warm embrace.
She tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat confused, and asked, "What's wrong, Shi Ye-ge?"
Before she could finish speaking, Shi Ye lowered his head, moved closer to her, and placed a gentle, brief kiss on her cheek.
He chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of doting innocence, "Nothing, I just wanted to kiss my girlfriend."
Charlene's ears turned red, but a surge of uncontrollable joy welled up inside her.
She then tiptoed and gently returned his kiss on the cheek.
She could vaguely guess that Shi Ye's initiative might be related to that gift.
So she said softly, "I'll give you the gift later."
Shi Ye's smile deepened, and he gently replied, "Okay."
The two then walked across the yard and arrived at the living room one after the other.
Sure enough, everyone else returned.
Right now, they are having tea and chatting with their grandparents!
Seeing the two of them come in together, everyone asked curiously, "Where did you two go? We didn't see you there."
Charlene casually replied, "Just browsing around."
Marcy keenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two seemed somewhat different.
The other three also clearly sensed this change, and they all showed inquisitive expressions, their eyes shifting back and forth between the two.
Only the grandparents failed to notice this subtle atmosphere.
Grandma smiled kindly as she instructed Xia Lin, "Girl, the guest rooms have all been cleaned up, and the blankets have all been replaced with brand new ones."
"Later, you can take them upstairs to rest."
Charlene nodded and replied softly, "Okay, Grandma."
Then, she turned to the group and asked gently, "Are you tired? Would you like me to take you back to your rooms to rest now?"
Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhi had no objections and said, "Sure!"
Marcy and Zhou Si also planned to wash up and rest early, so they agreed.
So, Charlene led the group upstairs to their room.
As they went upstairs, Marcy leaned close to Charlene and asked in a low voice, "How did your talk with Shi Ye go? Are you... together?"
Charlene curled her lips slightly, a smile playing in her eyes.
"Well, we're together."
Marcy couldn't help but smile, genuinely happy for her friend.
She said cheerfully, "Great! That piece of wood has finally come to its senses."
I was thinking, "We've already gone this far in helping him; if he doesn't take any further action, I'm going to go back and crack open his head to see what's inside."
Upon hearing this, Charlene couldn't help but chuckle.
She raised her hand and gently patted Marcy's arm, scolding her playfully, "You don't need to now, don't knock, what will I do if you break it?"
Marcy smiled and nodded repeatedly, her tone light and cheerful, "Don't worry, don't worry, it won't happen. Now that he understands your feelings, I naturally won't lay a hand on him."
The two had already reached the doorway when they started talking.
Charlene escorted each of them to their respective rooms.
Finally, it was Tokino's turn.
Marcy and Zhou Si were assigned to one room, while Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhi were assigned to the same room.
As for Shino, he could only live alone in the innermost room.
After escorting the person to the room, Xia Lin stood at the door and said to Shi Ye, "Brand new toiletries have been prepared in the bathroom. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't hesitate to ask."
Shino smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay."
Charlene then said, "I'll go back and wash up first, you should get some rest."
Tokino responded gently again, "Okay."
Then, Charlene waved to him and turned to walk towards her room.
After returning to her room, Charlene took a hot shower first.
When she came out, she saw the gift on the table.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered the kiss before she entered the room.
They had just gotten together, and she was so happy, so naturally she wanted to give him everything.
Almost without hesitation, Charlene grabbed the gift and went out the door with light steps.
She quietly arrived at Shino's door.
After hesitating for a moment, she still raised her hand and gently tapped it.
The door was quickly opened.
Shino seemed to have just finished washing up. She was wearing a loose nightgown, and her hair was not completely dry, hanging messily over her forehead, with water droplets occasionally sliding down the ends of her hair.
He exudes an unintentional languor, yet inexplicably carries a touch of wildness and handsomeness.
Seeing her, Shi Ye's eyes lit up with a smile, and his voice was gentle, "What's wrong?"
Charlene held up the gift in her hand, a blush rising on her face, and said, "Didn't you want a gift? Here, this was specially picked out for you."
I thought that today is our first day together, so we should commemorate it.
So I couldn't wait to bring it to you.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ye slowly raised his hand.
However, instead of taking the item, he gently led the person into the house.
Charlene was caught off guard and exclaimed in surprise.
Before she could react, Shino had already slammed the door shut.
Seeing his actions, Xia Lin's heart skipped a beat. With a mix of nervousness and bewilderment, she whispered, "Shi... Brother Shi Ye?"
Shi Ye smiled and took the things from her hands.
He examined her calmly for a moment, then said, "Let me see if she's suitable for me."
After saying that, he immediately started to open the packaging.
The necklace inside was indeed exquisite; both its design and texture perfectly matched his taste.
He carefully took out the item, then bent down slightly to close the distance between them.
He said in a low, deep voice, "Help me put it on."
How could Xia Lin refuse Shi Ye's offer?
She replied softly, "Okay."
Then, she reached out and took the necklace he offered, leaning slightly forward given their close proximity.
She wrapped her arms around his long neck and carefully put the hairpin on him.
This action brought the two people very close, as if they were embracing intimately.
Charlene could clearly feel his warm, steady breath gently spraying onto her collarbone.
The temperature felt like it was carrying an electric current, scalding her skin until it tingled slightly, and causing her heart to beat faster involuntarily.
After putting it on, she subconsciously took a small step back and said, "Okay."
Shi Ye looked at her with a hint of expectation in his eyes and asked, "Is it pretty?"
Charlene nodded without hesitation, her voice filled with affirmation and appreciation: "Yes, it looks good!"
This necklace really suits him perfectly; it's both simple and elegant, highlighting his temperament.
Shi Ye raised the corners of his lips, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes, and said, "That's good, I like it very much."
He paused, then added, "In exchange, I'll give you one too."
After saying that, he naturally took Charlene's hand and led her to the desk.
