My daily love life with my cute girlfriend-Chapter 299 Can I hug you?

Chapter 299 Can I hug you?

"How is that a surprise?"

After a brief moment of shyness, Ning Xi turned her head to the side and muttered softly,

"That was obviously flirting. You just made it sound all righteous and proper."

Hearing this, the smile at the corner of Ye Fan’s mouth gradually widened, and he asked,

"Then did I manage to flirt with Xiao Xi?"

"N-No!"

Obviously, the girl lacked confidence. That forced firmness written all over her face made Ye Fan shake his head with a laugh. His low voice overflowed with doting affection.

"Xiao Xi, when are you planning to go to Linhai with me?"

"Um..."

A conflicted look appeared on Ning Xi’s face.

To be honest, she wasn’t mentally prepared yet.

If all went as expected, after going to Linhai this time, she would definitely be staying at Ye Fan’s house.

By then, she’d inevitably have to interact with Ye Fan’s parents.

That was really asking a lot from a girl.

Moreover, it somehow felt like... meeting the parents.

The words "meeting the parents" lingered in her mind like a nightmare. Just thinking about the awkward scene of meeting Ye Fan’s parents made her want to run away.

They hadn’t even officially confirmed their relationship yet...

Ye Fan’s mom was still okay — she had already met her once.

But Ye Fan’s dad — she had never seen him before.

When it came to meeting strangers, Ning Xi had a particular resistance in her heart.

Seeing the hesitant and conflicted look on the girl’s face, Ye Fan chuckled softly,

"Nervous?"

"...Mm."

Ning Xi nodded slightly, her soft voice explaining,

"Whenever I go out, it’s either with Mom and Dad or with Uncle Zhuang. I’ve never gone far away on my own before. It’s a bit... scary."

"Don’t worry, I’m here."

Ye Fan gently ruffled Ning Xi’s silky hair and comforted her in a warm voice,

"There’s no need to be afraid. My parents are both very easygoing, and my mom likes you so much — if you go to Linhai, she’ll be over the moon."

"...Mm."

Ning Xi bit her lip and whispered almost inaudibly,

"This... I’ll talk it over with my mom tonight when she comes home." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Alright."

Ye Fan nodded in response, a barely noticeable curve appearing at the corner of his lips.

His voice carried a gentle reminder,

"Just don’t take too long. My mom calls me at least twice a day now — and without fail, every time, she asks me when I’m bringing you to Linhai."

"Xiao Xi, I’m really losing my mind here. It’s too hard."

"I..."

Ning Xi was just about to say something when a phone ringtone interrupted her.

Ye Fan glanced at the phone on the table, then pushed it toward Ning Xi with a bitter smile,

"Speak of the devil — here she is again. Don’t make a sound, listen to what she has to say."

After saying that, his finger swiped across the screen, and the call connected.

Ye Xian’s voice immediately came through,

"Xiao Fan, what’s going on with you? The college entrance exams are over — can’t you give me a straight answer? When exactly are you bringing Xiao Xi to Linhai?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan’s shoulders visibly slumped. He shot a helpless glance at Ning Xi and explained,

"Mom, be patient. It’s not decided yet. Once it’s confirmed, I’ll let you know right away."

"I’ve heard that so many times, my ears have calluses. Can’t you get it together?"

Ye Xian grumbled,

"Xiao Xi is so pure and sweet. Can’t you be a bit more capable? If you can’t even win over Xiao Xi, what’s the point of me having a son like you?"

"..."

Ye Fan was speechless.

He was beyond frustrated.

Ning Xi’s eyes curved with amusement as she secretly laughed.

No wonder Ye Fan was so eager to take her to Linhai —

turns out, he had to face complaints like this every day.

"Cough cough—"

Ye Fan let out a light sigh,

"Mom, give it a bit more time. I’ve got stuff going on here — I’m hanging up now."

As soon as he said that, he quickly ended the call and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Xiao Xi, now do you see how tough things are for me?"

"Pfft—"

Ning Xi burst into laughter, her eyes full of teasing,

"Who told you to tell Auntie about this ahead of time? This is your own fault!"

Ye Fan’s lips twitched bitterly. He gave the girl’s delicate nose a light pinch and looked up at the ceiling with a sigh,

"If I had known things would turn out like this, I never would’ve told my mom in advance. The problem is — there’s no regret medicine in this world!"

Dimples bloomed on Ning Xi’s cheeks as she lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds.

Then, she made a decision in her heart.

"Um... I’ll talk to my mom about it first. If she agrees, we... can leave for Linhai tomorrow."

"Really?"

Ye Fan’s eyes — black as night — slightly contracted, and joy surged in his heart.

"Mm."

The girl’s starlit eyes sparkled faintly. Propping her chin up with one hand, she said,

"But let’s make it clear first — once we get to Linhai, you have to protect me."

"Of course!"

Ye Fan smiled with genuine joy. He couldn’t help but want to hug this girl.

Just as he was spreading his arms, he stopped himself and asked tentatively,

"Xiao Xi, can I give you a hug?"

"N-No way!"

Ning Xi’s face turned slightly red, like a summer breeze carrying a blush —

it climbed over her elegant brows, brushed her eyes, swept across her cheeks to her earlobes and neck — a truly beautiful sight.

Her soft voice held three parts shyness and seven parts panic,

"Haven’t you taken enough advantage of me today? Don’t push your luck!"

Ye Fan gave up with a defeated look.

He glanced at the time — it was just past eleven in the morning.

He took the girl’s small hand and said,

"It’s almost noon. Come to the kitchen with me and let’s cook."

"Cook?"

The moment she heard that, Ning Xi’s eyes lit up like jewels. She perked up with enthusiasm,

"I want to cook too!"

Ye Fan, just rising to his feet, suddenly felt a chill in his leg. His face changed slightly,

"Xiao Xi, a girl only needs to stay pretty. How could I let you do something as greasy and smoky as cooking?"

"Why not?!"

Ning Xi pouted her red lips and said,

"No matter how much I ask, Mom never lets me cook. Now that she’s finally not home, I have to seize this rare opportunity!"

"I want to cook!"

"Ahem!"

Ye Fan was genuinely scared now. His mouth twitched as he asked,

"Xiao Xi, why didn’t Auntie Lan let you cook? Have you cooked at home before?"

"Of course I have."

Ning Xi nodded innocently, her eyes filled with memories,

"I remember it was two years ago, on Dad’s birthday. I made him a bowl of longevity noodles. He really liked it. I wanted to try some too, but he didn’t even leave me a sip of the soup. Oh, and Mom ate quite a lot as well."

"After that, Mom never let me help in the kitchen again — her reason was the same as yours."

Speaking of this, she complained indignantly,

"Even if it didn’t taste good, it couldn’t have been that bad! Besides, cooking is something you improve at gradually — how can I get better if no one lets me practice?"

Ye Fan’s expression stiffened, his eyelid twitched uncontrollably, and in his heart, he silently muttered—

Xiao Xi, by the time your cooking improves...

People will die!!!
