Chapter 338 Don't be afraid, I won't eat you
Lin Yuan looked down at her and felt a warmth and softness in his heart.

He continued to tell the story softly, his voice gentle and rhythmic, like a lullaby, gradually bringing Qi Xiaoke to sleep.

Halfway through the story, Qi Xiaoke had fallen completely asleep, and her breathing became steady and even.

Lin Yuan carefully straightened her up, gently placed her on the sofa, and covered her with a blanket.

"Good night, Xiaoke." Lin Yuan said in a low voice, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He stood up and prepared to leave the room.

Just as he turned around, Qi Xiaoke suddenly murmured, "Brother Lin Yuan, thank you."

Lin Yuan stopped, looked back at her with a smile, and then gently closed the door.

In the corridor, there was only the sound of his footsteps, making it seem particularly quiet.

Lin Yuan was walking in the corridor when he unexpectedly ran into Qi Xiaoke's mother, Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan looked elegant and charming in a silk nightgown.

"Lin Yuan, are you still awake?" Shen Yuan asked with a smile in a gentle voice.

Lin Yuan was stunned and scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to address her. "Um, auntie...ah, no, sister...ah, no, auntie..."

Shen Yuan smiled gently, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, "Call me sister, calling me auntie makes me look old."

Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Okay... Sister Shen."

Shen Yuan looked at his embarrassed expression, and her smile became gentler. "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you. Come here, let's talk."

She turned and walked towards the living room, motioning Lin Yuan to follow. Although Lin Yuan was a little nervous, he still followed her.

The two sat on the sofa. Shen Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, thank you for taking care of Xiao Ke tonight. She likes you very much."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Xiao Ke is a good girl. I like getting along with her very much."

Shen Yuan nodded, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes, "Xiao Ke has been very well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, but her life has always been very simple. She is very happy that you can accompany her this time."

Lin Yuan said modestly, "Actually, I am also very happy to spend these wonderful times with her."

Shen Yuan smiled slightly and continued, "Lin Yuan, I can see that Xiao Ke has a good impression of you. What do you think of her?"

Lin Yuan was slightly startled, then answered seriously, "Xiao Ke is a very special girl, I do have a crush on her. But I don't think it's the right time to start a relationship now."

Shen Yuan nodded, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, "I understand your idea. But, what type of girls do you like?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said frankly, "I like girls who are kind, sensible, and have independent thoughts. However, my work and life are quite complicated now."

Shen Yuan nodded, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, "Lin Yuan, you can't rush or force relationships. As long as you and Xiao Ke can find the right time for each other, that would be the best."

Lin Yuan felt a little relieved and said with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding, Sister Shen. I will cherish this time."

Shen Yuan smiled and patted his hand gently, "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early. Thank you for what happened tonight."

Lin Yuan nodded, stood up, and said politely, "Good night, Sister Shen."

The next day, Lin Yuan began to feel tortured.

In the morning, Qi Xiaoke always knocked on Lin Yuan's door early with a smile on her face.

"Brother Lin Yuan, let's go shopping downtown today! I heard that there are some very good stores opened there!"

Lin Yuan always agreed with a helpless smile, "Okay, Xiaoke, you girls really like shopping."

The two went to the city center together. Qi Xiaoke was so excited when she saw the dazzling array of goods that she pulled Lin Yuan to shuttle between the various stores.

Lin Yuan followed behind her, looking at her excited look, although a little tired, but also felt a little warm. "Brother Lin Yuan, what do you think of this dress?" Qi Xiaoke picked up a beautiful dress, turned around and asked, with a gleam of anticipation in her eyes.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, "Very beautiful, and a perfect match for you."

Qi Xiaoke showed a satisfied smile on her face and turned around to continue choosing other clothes.

Lin Yuan stood aside, watching her busy figure, his heart filled with tenderness.

"Brother Lin Yuan, why don't you pick out some clothes?" Qi Xiaoke suddenly turned around and asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, "I don't think there's anything special I need."

Qi Xiaoke curled her lips and said, "No, you have to buy some new clothes too. Here, this one suits you very well!"

She took Lin Yuan to the men's clothing area, picked out a dark blue shirt and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan could only take it helplessly and try it on. Qi Xiaoke nodded with satisfaction, "It's really handsome!"

that's it.

The two of them shopped in the mall for a whole day, and only went home when Lin Yuan's feet were almost numb.

One day, Qi Xiaoke took Lin Yuan shopping again, and this time they met her best friend Su Tao at the door of a cafe.

As soon as Su Tao saw Qi Xiaoke with a handsome guy, her eyes suddenly lit up and she hurried over.

"Xiao Ke, why did you bring a handsome guy out? Introduce him to me!"

Qi Xiaoke had a mischievous smile on her face and held Lin Yuan's arm.

"Su Tao, this is Brother Lin Yuan, my best friend."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded to Su Tao, "Hello, I'm Lin Yuan."

Su Tao looked Lin Yuan up and down, with a hint of curiosity and gossip in her eyes.

"Brother Lin Yuan, Xiao Ke told me a lot about you. It turns out you are the one she keeps talking about!"

Qi Xiaoke's cheeks turned slightly red, and she punched Su Tao lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Lin Yuan has helped me a lot."

Su Tao smiled even more brightly, "Oh, I knew you two had a special relationship. Brother Lin Yuan, what do you think of our Xiao Ke? She really likes you!"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Xiao Ke is a good girl, very cute."

Qi Xiaoke's cheeks turned even redder and she gently pushed Su Tao.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and go in and have some coffee."

The three of them walked into the cafe together and found a quiet corner to sit down.

Su Tao was still full of curiosity and kept asking Lin Yuan various questions.

"Brother Lin Yuan, what do you usually do? How did you get to know our Xiao Ke?"

Lin Yuan answered her questions patiently, while Qi Xiaoke watched them with a smile and interjected a word or two from time to time.

"Brother Lin Yuan, do you know? Xiao Ke rarely brings boys out to meet friends. You are the first one!"

Su Tao blinked with a hint of mischief.

Qi Xiaoke's face turned even redder, and he said hurriedly, "Su Tao, if you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you!"
