My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 421 - 017: Acting Spoiled_4
"Hmm? Is there a chance?" Yun Xi said with a sly smile, glancing at Yun Qi: "You heard it, didnโt you! Bro, something unexpected might happen!" ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐ต.๐๐๐
Yun Qi raised an eyebrow: "Just eat your food."
Yun Xi stuck out her tongue at him and continued eating her meal. Suddenly, she looked up and asked, "Bro, Ling Ran, do you have any plans this afternoon?"
"Nope!" Ye Lingran shook her head blankly: "Why?"
"Hehe! Nothing." Yun Xi chuckled and turned to Yun Yisheng: "Yun Yisheng, I bought two movie tickets. Accompany me to a movie this afternoon!"
"Why me? I..." Yun Yisheng was about to refuse without thinking, but when he caught Yun Xiโs sharp and threatening gaze, he immediately fell silent and nodded in agreement: "Okay, what time?"
"Three oโclock. Itโs just past one now, so thereโs still some time. After eating, you can help Ling Ran clean up the dishes."
"Oh." Yun Yisheng responded unenthusiastically. He wasnโt interested in the movie. In fact, he had plans in the afternoon to play video games with classmates, and it seemed like he would have to ditch them. He suddenly felt a bit down.
Yun Qi glanced at Ye Lingran with a meaningful look in his eyes, and some thoughts crossed his mind.
After the meal, Yun Qi and Yun Xi both helped with the dishes, while Yun Yisheng helped wipe the table and then sprawled on the sofa like a relaxed Ge You. Yun Qi and Yun Xi helped her wash the dishes.
By the time they finished everything, it was already past two. Seeing that it was nearly time, Yun Xi grabbed Yun Yisheng and drove off directly, leaving the villa instantly quiet with just her and Yun Qi. Sitting in the living room, Ye Lingran suddenly felt a bit restless.
"Want some black tea? The kind I brought back from Turkey?" Yun Qi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Ye Lingran looked at him and nodded: "Sure."
"Wait a moment, Iโll brew it."
"Okay."
After Yun Qi left the living room for the kitchen, Ye Lingran inexplicably felt relieved. Seeing the TV still in game mode, she curiously picked up the game controller and glanced at it. There were many buttons on it, which she couldnโt understand. She didnโt usually play games and wasnโt very familiar with them.
After waiting for about three minutes, Yun Qi came in with two cups of black tea and saw her holding the game controller, studying it. He chuckled: "Want to try playing a round or two?"
Startled by his voice, Ye Lingran turned her head to look, quickly putting down the controller. She took the tea from him with a smile and shook her head: "Iโve never played before, donโt really understand. I was just curious, so I picked it up for a look."
"Itโs actually quite simple, nothing too difficult. Want to give it a try? I can teach you." Yun Qi placed his cup on the table and smiled at her.
Ye Lingran pursed her lips as the tea was a bit hot. She smelled the aroma and put her cup on the table too. Before she could speak, Yun Qi took the game controller from her lap and displayed the gameโs menu on the screen, scooting closer to her. With a smile, he explained: "Look, there are several characters here you can choose from. You can play 1V1 or against multiple opponents, or battle AI. These buttons are for up and down, these for left and right, and here are the skill buttons. Four in total. This oneโs for jumping and crouching, and use the joystick to control direction."
Yun Qiโs detailed explanation was listened to intently by Ye Lingran, who had never played games before. Seeing the little characters on the screen actually piqued her interest.
"Want to give it a try? You can start with the AI mode." Upon seeing her interest, Yun Qi asked with a smile.
Ye Lingran gave a slight smile and took the game controller from him, attempting to choose a character. Due to her unfamiliarity with the controls, she accidentally selected the wrong mode and made a fool of herself. Yun Qi just smiled, while Ye Lingran felt a bit embarrassed. Her movements were not smooth when trying to operate, always needing to think about which button did what.
Seeing herself about to be defeated by the AI, Ye Lingran was nearly in tears, and in panic, she pressed the crouch button, resulting in the AI pinning her down and beating her up as Yun Qi watched, thoroughly amused!
Feeling a bit ashamed, and when thinking about how to get back on her feet, two strong arms suddenly wrapped around her from behind, enveloping her hands that held the controller. Her back was pressed against a familiar warm chest, and a gentle male voice whispered in her ear: "Press here, Iโll teach you. See, it just stood up? Jump, dodge the incoming skill, then press the second skill to control it. Heโs running towards the maze; letโs take a potion to restore health and press speed to chase."
Ye Lingranโs whole body stiffened, her head buzzing, barely hearing his words. She just felt enveloped in his embrace, his large, warm hands tightly covering her own. It was a true hand-over-hand teaching moment, so close she could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat, which made her nervous and unable to focus on the game. Her initial excitement and interest quickly faded.
With Yun Qiโs help, however, her character started to improve and soon reached the third level, with increasing difficulty. Once she calmed her mind, Ye Lingran turned to look at him and saw him focusing on the game screen, saying nothing. The sweet moments lost these past days gradually returned, and the distant feeling vanished, as if back to those wonderful days in Jiang City.
Women can be easily satisfied. A small detail, a smile, or a word can be amplified in their hearts. At this moment, Ye Lingran was immersed in what felt like a romance but was tinged with uncertainty and insecurity.
"How does it feel? Can you play now?" After coaching her to the fifth level, Yun Qi looked down with a smile and asked.
"It feels... increasingly harder," Ye Lingran paused and sincerely commented.
Yun Qi chuckled again: "The levels get progressively harder. Howโs your control? Getting the hang of it? Want to try a 1V1 with me?"
"Well... can you go easy on me?" Ye Lingran turned her eyes to meet his, a slight teasing tone in her voice, not even aware of it herself.
