Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 51 Zhang Lexuan's "Return Gift"

After a while.

The door opened, and Zhang Lexuan came out, also carrying a wooden box.

Ye Chen keenly noticed that Zhang Lexuan's black stockings were gone!

Could it be...

"Hey, this is the gift your sister gave you. Do you like it?" Zhang Lexuan blushed and looked at Ye Chen with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Ye Chen opened the wooden box, and what greeted his eyes was a gleaming black...

Goodness, it really is...

Moreover, it was something Zhang Lexuan had just changed out of; it still carried Zhang Lexuan's body temperature when gently touched.

However, Ye Chen was a little confused at the moment and didn't know how to answer.

If I say I don't like it, will Zhang Lexuan be disappointed?

If he said he liked her, wouldn't Zhang Lexuan think he was a pervert?
Holy crap, is this something you can give as a gift?
And it was a gift from Zhang Lexuan!

This must have been a crazy idea...

Ye Chen was now in a dilemma, unsure of what to say.

"Ah...yes...you don't like it, um...I...I..." Zhang Lexuan was also at a loss when she saw this scene, her feet almost digging out a Shrek City in embarrassment.

Based on the last massage, she was certain that Ye Chen liked it.

Her sixth sense told her that Ye Chen might like this gift, so she impulsively prepared it for him herself.

totally unexpected……

"No, no, no, sister, that..."

Ye Chen put the wooden box away, scratched his head, and said somewhat shyly, "I really like it, thank you for the gift, sister~"

In the end, in order not to disappoint Zhang Lexuan, Ye Chen had no choice but to put on a forced smile.

"Phew...that's good..."

Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized something was wrong, and her gaze towards Ye Chen held a strange look...

Moreover, she seemed to have thought of something strange.

"Uh, sister, don't look at me like that, I'm scared..." Ye Chen shrank his neck, feeling a little uneasy under Zhang Lexuan's gaze.

This was clearly a gift from Zhang Lexuan, so why are you looking at him like that?

Zhang Lexuan carefully organized her thoughts before whispering, "Xiao Chen... um... you can only keep this gift, you can't use it for anything else..."

"What other thing?"

Ye Chen hadn't reacted yet and asked instinctively.

"It's...it's about taking your sister's stockings...that kind of thing has a bad impact on your physical and mental health..."

Zhang Lexuan blushed and stammered.

At the same time, she regretted it a little, thinking that she shouldn't have given the gift.

Although Ye Chen likes her, what if she leads him astray?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan seemed to have made up her mind and continued, "If you really need it... you can come to my place..."

"Sister, what are you saying? How could I possibly do such a thing..." Ye Chen's face darkened.

Goodness, he's an honest man, just a tiny bit lewd.

Why does he seem like some kind of super perverted person who's been starved for ten thousand years in Zhang Lexuan's eyes?
This is outrageous!

How could Zhang Lexuan, a perfectly normal young woman, have such strange ideas?
Ye Chen was completely speechless.

However, he could consider Zhang Lexuan's last sentence...

"Well, that's for the best, Xiao Chen. I truly hope you can grow up well..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief, a gentle light flashing in her eyes. She reached out and gently pulled Ye Chen into her arms, holding him tightly.

Her heart was pounding.

She had just thought that because of some storybooks she had read in her early years.

Looking back now, Ye Chen probably wasn't that kind of person.

She had overestimated Ye Chen's abilities.

"Okay, don't worry, sister. I will work hard to become stronger. When I surpass you, I will be able to protect you." Ye Chen nodded gently and chuckled.

"Hehehe~ Sister, then sister is looking forward to you surpassing sister and protecting sister~"

Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she covered her mouth with a coquettish laugh, clearly also very much looking forward to it.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Ye Chen felt he couldn't stay here any longer, lest Zhang Lexuan misunderstand again. "Yes~ You're an inner courtyard disciple now, you should come and keep your older sister company often~"

Zhang Lexuan reached out and ruffled Ye Chen's hair.

"Yes, I will."

Ye Chen waved gently to Zhang Lexuan before turning and leaving, closing the door behind him.

As soon as the door closed, Zhang Lexuan collapsed onto the sofa, her body curled up like a shrimp, her face instantly turning bright red, from her neck to her ears, almost as if it were about to bleed.

"Waaaaah... Zhang Lexuan, you're such an idiot! How could you give someone something like this? You're so stupid, so stupid..."

Zhang Lexuan curled up on the sofa, rolling around incessantly, clearly fully awake.

For some reason, she just impulsively decided to tease Ye Chen, but ended up making things incredibly awkward for both of them.

But there was no turning back, so she could only continue to endure it.

Looking back now, she wishes she could disappear into a crack in the ground...

She's never been like this before...

"Xiao Chen was just in a daze, clearly unsure of what to say. He only accepted the gift out of consideration for me..."

"Waaaaah... Will he think I'm a bad older sister who only wants to seduce her younger brother...?"

Zhang Lexuan almost burst into tears when she thought of this.

She desperately wanted to run away on the spot; she was too ashamed to face Ye Chen again.

But she couldn't bear to part with it, and suddenly felt caught in a dilemma, feeling incredibly frustrated.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Lexuan was startled and frowned instantly. She quickly moved to the doorway.

"Who?"

There was no response from outside.

Zhang Lexuan sensed something was wrong, opened the door, and found the room empty.

However, a small wooden box was left behind.

Zhang Lexuan seemed to have thought of something, and gently picked up the wooden box and opened it.

There was a note inside; the handwriting seemed to be male, and it wasn't very neat.

Sister, I really love your gift, I'd like to get one again next time!
—Ye Chen

"what!"

When Zhang Lexuan saw the contents of the note, she gasped and covered her mouth.

He immediately clutched the note tightly to his chest and hid it away.

"So... he really did like it..."

Zhang Lexuan murmured to herself, feeling inexplicably happy. The embarrassment and depression she felt earlier vanished in an instant.

Clearly, Ye Chen sent the note via teleportation to comfort her, fearing she would feel embarrassed.

With such a thoughtful younger brother, Zhang Lexuan feels that everything is worthwhile...

……

……

A kilometer away, Ye Chen took one last look at Zhang Lexuan's courtyard before turning and leaving.

He was sure Zhang Lexuan would be very embarrassed afterwards, so he wrote that note to comfort her...

Let him be the bad guy; he's shameless anyway.

Zhang Lexuan is easily embarrassed, and if Ye Chen doesn't comfort her properly, he's afraid she'll never dare to see him again...

Ye Chen glanced at the "gift" Zhang Lexuan had given him, then put it away.

It's impossible to use it, but it's fine as a souvenir.

We can use it to tease Zhang Lexuan later.

Hmm, threatening Zhang Lexuan is also an option.

Senior Sister, I'm sure you didn't want this either... Hehehe...
