When Ye Ming went to visit Duo Lisha and came down from the second floor, only one figure remained in the hall.
Nangong Qianyu and Fang Junxue had returned to their respective rooms to cultivate.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that their actions were intended to create an opportunity for Yan Yinluo and Ye Ming to spend time alone.
At this moment, Yan Yinluo was looking down, her index fingers of both small hands nervously fiddling back and forth, not daring to look Ye Ming in the eye.
It was evident that she was very nervous.
Because in Yan Yinluo's memory, the Ye Ming of the past always had a cold expression, with almost no emotional fluctuations.
This was true for people and matters alike.
And when Yan Yinluo first saw Ye Ming in a live stream, she could already sense it.
He had changed!
He had gained warmth and understood human emotions.
So!
Had his attitude towards her also changed?
"It's been four years since we last met. The little girl who used to chatter incessantly behind me has grown up and become the beloved national teen idol she is today!"
Ye Ming came before Yan Yinluo and said with a hint of melancholy, "Alas! But after becoming a big celebrity, you seem to barely recognize people!"
He waved his hand, appearing very sad, "Forget it! Forget it! How can we ordinary people..."
Pfft!
Just as Ye Ming was expressing his sad emotions, Yan Yinluo suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha! Brother Ming! That's too fake!" Yan Yinluo covered her mouth and said, "When people are sad, their eyes are very dim."
The teen idol was indeed a teen idol, instantly seeing through the flaw in Ye Ming's acting.
After all, Ye Ming's acting skills were learned from Yan Yinluo.
How could he deceive her?
But at this moment, Ye Ming stared at Yan Yinluo with a half-smile and said, "What did you just call me?"
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Yan Yinluo's beautiful eyes widened, and her small face instantly turned red.
It was only then that she realized she had been tricked.
"Come on! Call me a few more times to hear!" Ye Ming gently rubbed her small head, stared into her eyes, and said with a wicked grin, "I actually didn't hear clearly just now. What did you call me?"
"Ah!"
Being stared at like this, Yan Yinluo's face turned even redder and hotter. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
That had completely slipped out unconsciously just now!
"I... I..."
Now, Yan Yinluo's eyes were darting away.
Alas!
Ye Ming had no intention of letting her go. He turned his head again, and their eyes met once more.
"Call me again to hear!"
It seemed like he wouldn't rest until she did.
Hearing this, Yan Yinluo's eyes gradually became moist, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Tears, like pearls from a broken string, traced paths down her delicate cheeks.
"Wuwuwu!"
Finally, she burst into tears.
"Holy crap! No way!"
This scene truly startled Ye Ming.
She was crying!
She was actually crying!
"Yin... Yinluo! You're acting, right?" he probed cautiously.
Yan Yinluo was a national teen idol, so she must have mastered acting.
Crying scenes!
It shouldn't be difficult!
But as Ye Ming spoke, the tears in Yan Yinluo's eyes seemed to form a spring, becoming unstoppable.
"Wuwuwu!"
Even her cries escalated from sobs to wails, likely audible to everyone in the villa.
Seeing this, Ye Ming's legs almost went weak.
Just as he was about to step forward to comfort her, hurried footsteps sounded from the second floor.
"It's over!"
At this moment, Ye Ming's heart sank.
As expected, Nangong Qianyu was the first to rush down.
When she saw Yan Yinluo's heartbroken appearance, she was almost enraged and ready to explode, her eyes burning with visible anger.
"Ye Ming! I'm not done with you!"
Saying this, she stormed towards the kitchen!
"Holy crap! What... what is she going to do this time?"
Seeing Nangong Qianyu's action, Ye Ming felt a chill down his spine, his heart beating noticeably too fast.
At this moment, Fang Junxue also came down from upstairs.
Even Duo Lisha, who was "recovering from her injuries," was alerted and followed behind her.
Fang Junxue first glanced at Yan Yinluo, who was quietly wiping away her tears, and her expression turned cold. Then she looked at Ye Ming, who couldn't help but shiver.
"Jun... Sister Junxue! I... believe me if I say I didn't do anything?"
Ye Ming retreated a couple of steps, raising his hands.
Just then, Nangong Qianyu emerged from the kitchen.
In her hands, she held two cleavers!
That's right, two!
The glinting blades almost blinded Ye Ming's eyes.
"Qian... Qianyu! Let's talk properly! Don't use knives... Holy crap!"
Before he could finish speaking, the knife in Nangong Qianyu's right hand flew towards Ye Ming in a parabolic arc.
"She's serious!"
Fortunately, Ye Ming reacted quickly and dodged to the side, narrowly escaping.
Run!
He had to run!
He absolutely could not stay in this house anymore!
"Well... that is... I... I just remembered I have something to deal with! So I... I'll be going now..."
There was no other option; Ye Ming had to escape this perilous place.
Bang!
Only after the door closed did peace return to the room.
But Ye Ming had no idea that the moment he stepped out of the villa, a radiant smile bloomed on Yan Yinluo's face.
Not only that, but Nangong Qianyu and Fang Junxue exchanged knowing glances, understanding unspokenly.
Inside the house, only Duo Lisha was clueless.
But with her woman's intuition, she guessed that her young master had likely been toyed with by the three women.
She offered a three-second moment of silence for Ye Ming.
...
After leaving the "dragon's den," Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the thought of how to get back gave him a headache.
Poor him, he was still completely unaware that he had been played by the women.
"Little Aiyin, little Aiyin, whether your Brother Ming can survive today depends on you!"
After a long period of thought, Ye Ming set his sights on Little Aiyin.
Given her current status as a little princess, she should be able to save his life.
With a plan in place, Ye Ming was no longer worried.
But it was just past noon, and it was still a long time before Little Aiyin's school ended. Therefore, Ye Ming had to find a way to pass the time.
"Help! Help! There's a thief! There's a thief! Catch him!"
Heaven seemed to feel that Ye Ming was idle and had nothing to do at this moment.
It had specially arranged something for him.
Not far from him, a man with a scar on his face was waving a dagger and shouting ferociously, "If anyone dares to interfere, I'll stab them!"
Hearing this, the few kind-hearted passersby who were about to step forward to apprehend him immediately stopped.
The dagger in the thief's hand put significant pressure on them.
After all, they were ordinary people and dared not act recklessly.
"Hahaha!"
The thief laughed heartily upon seeing this, "You know better than to get involved!"
But the next second, his laughter froze.
