Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 368: You Are Here

The gaze moved upward to the man’s tightly pressed thin lips, the high bridge of his nose, and the long and dense eyelashes... An Yin looked deeply, her focus gradually growing more intense.

At this moment, she was completely unaware of how intimate her actions were. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

She was like an octopus, with her hands tightly wrapped around the man’s neck and her legs firmly clinging to his strong waist.

The man looked grim; though he struggled to control his breathing rate, his breaths were decidedly not steady as usual.

"Bao, Bao Shaojin, you’re here." Her voice was trembling, as if she were dreaming.

Bao Shaojin’s innate gaze was fixated on An Yin, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"Hmm, are you cold?"

Seeing her in thin pajamas, the expression on the man’s face gradually became more severe.

His words made An Yin realize a problem.

She was wearing pajamas at this moment, and to her despair, she had a habit of not wearing a bra at home after bathing, so at this moment...

With this in mind, An Yin’s hands clung even tighter to the man’s neck, completely at a loss.

Seeing her not talk, instead resting her head on his shoulder in a fearful manner, Shaojin’s expression tightened, "An Yin, what’s wrong?" The little girl couldn’t hide her emotions, and from her unusual behavior, he could tell she must have encountered a problem.

An Yin buried her head and was silent, wishing she could dig a hole and disappear into it.

Sobbing...

How could she make such a low-level mistake, going out to meet a man without wearing a bra? It was truly embarrassing! An Yin, on the verge of tears, clung to the man’s neck, refusing to let go.

"An Yin." His voice was deep and resonant, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

An Yin’s eyelashes fluttered gently, her bright black pupils delicately swirling with a trace of anxiety. She pouted and murmured, "Put me down."

Her voice, like a faint insect hum, was almost inaudible. The reason she spoke was because she realized how improper her actions were; she was practically hanging on the man like a koala bear...

The man’s keen hearing picked up her soft, gentle voice, stirring a raging wave in his heart, almost breaking him.

He bent down, gradually loosening the hand on her slender waist.

After An Yin’s feet touched the ground, she quickly turned around, her radiant face all blushing red.

As she turned, the man’s dark eyes caught a glimpse of a scene that made his blood surge. He felt his body stiffen terribly, his indifferent black eyes suddenly contracting and tinged with scarlet.

He swiftly took off the long trench coat he was wearing and draped it over Young Miss Yingruo, "It’s cold, put it on."

The man’s coat was long.

An Yin had a small frame, and compared to the man, there was a significant height difference, so when she wore his coat, it reached her ankles, looking somewhat comical.

Nevertheless, it was able to completely wrap her small, delicate body.

An Yin lowered her head, hastily fastening the buttons on the front of the coat. When she finished fastening the last one, she looked down at her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." Only after ensuring her privacy wouldn’t be exposed to the man did An Yin speak.

The two stood in the narrow stairwell, the sensor light above flickering on and off, casting a more arrogant and cold light on the man’s haughty side profile.

An Yin slowly turned around.

The man’s dark eyes glanced at her; the little girl wore his clothes, looking like a child sneaking into an adult’s outfit, wide and large.

The man stood casually, neither taking the initiative to speak as the light overhead suddenly went out.

In the pitch darkness, An Yin’s hands reached out randomly toward where the man was, as she was afraid of the dark.

When her hand brushed the man’s wrist, the sound of "Bang bang bang..." came from outside, and the stairwell lights came back on.

Her hand froze in the air, just a few centimeters from touching the man.

An Yin looked up timidly, wanting to see the man’s reaction, only to meet his deep gaze.

Crackle...

Crackle...

Bang bang bang...

At midnight, the continuous sound of firecrackers could be heard outside as the stairwell lights flickered back on.

"Happy New Year!" Bao Shaojin’s fervent gaze gazed down at her, "The red envelope is in the pocket of the coat."

The man spoke unhurriedly, his words drawn out in the night, clear and serene.

An Yin’s body shook, seeing the man’s serious expression; his words gave an impression of solemn dignity. An Yin reached her hand out from the long sleeve, probing into the man’s pocket. Soon, she felt a flat red envelope.

Dazed, she took it out. On the front, the words "Peace and Safety Every Year" were outlined in golden threads.

An Yin remembered the red envelope he gave during the Little New Year, and she hesitantly held it out to the man, "I’ll accept your kindness, but I can’t take this red envelope."

Bao Shaojin didn’t reach out to take it; instead, he calmly looked at her, "Why?"

An Yin paused before realizing what the man meant, "There’s too much money inside." For an average family, a red envelope with over a thousand yuan would indeed be a bit much.

Maybe, over the years, it meant nothing to him! An Yin mused.

Bao Shaojin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You haven’t opened it, so how do you know there’s a lot?"

"Last time, the red envelope had a thousand..." An Yin blurted out, and as she spoke, she saw the man’s somber eyes and swallowed her remaining words back down.

"Open it and see for yourself first."

The man’s voice was enticing.

Under the man’s watchful gaze, An Yin opened the red envelope. Looking closer, she found it empty inside.

Was this a prank by the man?

Thinking of the man’s earnest expression, An Yin thought he wouldn’t be so childish, yet there seemed to be no money inside!

As she withdrew her gaze, something seemed to glimmer at the bottom inside of the envelope. Looking closely, she saw stars shimmering inside.

She extended her palm and tipped out the contents of the envelope with her other hand. In an instant, a dazzling chain fell into her palm with a tiny clasp, barely noticeable from a distance.

Not being very knowledgeable about gestures or such, she uncertainly asked, "Is it a necklace?"

Bao Shaojin’s eyes moved down to her slippers, his tone heavy, "We’ll discuss it in my car first."

After he finished speaking, ignoring An Yin’s surprised expression, he lifted her up in his arms and headed downstairs.

An Yin’s heart was in her throat, and when she calmed down, they had already exited the community gate. She heard the distant sound of firecrackers and quickly grabbed the man’s collar in embarrassment, saying, "Let’s take this path."

After speaking, she pointed to a section of the wall; it was gloomy and clearly without lighting.
