Rotten Melons

Si Yehan's pupils constricted the moment the girl's soft lips touched his.

His eyes became darker than usual as if to suck her soul in.

This voluntary kiss that had never happened before… was so beautifully sweet that his heart started to palpitate…

"That's all?" The man's voice was a little hoarse with an edge of danger, obviously unsatisfied.

Ye Wanwan coughed lightly, "This was just a preview, I can't give you any more since I haven't grown into a sweet melon!"

"Oh…" The man gave a chuckle.

Ye Wanwan retreated a safe distance away from the man's searing stare. Pushing on, she continued, "Actually… All I want is to be a normal girl and learn to fall in love…

I promise I'll never run away again. You also shouldn't make me do what I don't want to do and be angry and scary all the time alright?

That Gu Yueze--before, my brain was clamped by an obsession with that man, but I understand now.

I feel that with 9th master's status, as long as we regain a normal relationship, I can definitely grow to become a sweet melon with time!"

Ye Wanwan spoke till her tongue was parched. "Actually… Sweet melons are quite delicious, I think you should give them a try. How would you know whether you like them or not if you haven't tried them, right?" She waited anxiously for his reply.

Si Yehan smiled vaguely at the "little melon seedling" trying so hard to promote herself. He asked faintly, "What if it becomes rotten?"

The corners of Ye Wanwan's lips lifted upwards. She wiped off her sweat and said, "It won't happen, it won't happen! I'll work hard and grow! I'll definitely become a beautiful sweet melon!"

A moments passed in silence, and just as Ye Wanwan was about to give up, the man finally relented, "Fine."

Ye Wanwan was stunned for a while before responding to Si Yehan's agreement. Her face was filled with joy, "You agree? So I'm allowed to go back to school? Can I stay in the school's dormitory like the other students? Can I do whatever I want to do…?

Then… Then I am off to pack my things! I'll move into the school's dormitory tomorrow! But I'll come back and visit the vegetable garden whenever I'm free!"

After finishing her sentence, she skipped away happily and quickly, in case Si Yehan changed his mind.

Looking at how eagerly the girl left, Si Yehan's expression turned gloomy, as if he regretted his decision immediately.

But when his fingers touched the remnants of her soft kiss on his lips, the gloominess in his eyes dissipated.

Wanwan, this is the last time I am trusting you.

And it is also your final chance.

If you betray me…

Back in the room:

Ye Wanwan hurriedly packed all her textbooks and luggage.

That actually worked, this feels like a dream!

Then, her cell phone started ringing. It was an incoming call from Shen Mengqi.

Ye Wanwan lips turned into a scowl and answered the call, "Hello?"

Once the call was connected, Shen Mengqi's exasperated voice came through the receiver, "Wanwan, I kept calling you, why didn't you answer? Are you alright? Why didn't you leave with young master Gu? Did you know how much effort I had to put in to convince young master Gu?!"

"I can't explain it properly over the phone, we'll talk about it in school tomorrow!"

"Wha… What? Mr Si didn't ground you? He's even allowing you to go to school?" Shen Mengqi's tone changed.

After seeing that Ye Wanwan wanted to elope with Gu Yueze, how could Si Yehan let it go so easily?

Or… has Si Yehan started to dislike her… So he doesn't want her to live in the Jin garden anymore?

Ye Wanwan refused to go into the details and simply replied, "Yup, I'll be moving back to the dormitory tomorrow."

Shen Mengqi asked anxiously, "Was it because Mr. Si saw you and Gu Yueze together and misunderstood, so he's chasing you out?"

Ye Wanwan smirked and took her time to reply, "How'd you know Si Yehan saw me and Gu Yueze together? He wasn't home those few days, don't you know that?"

"I… I was guessing… Anyway, tell me more when you come back to school!"
