Can You Hear Me

"Last time after school I saw you with a girl." Lin Weixia said.

The question broke the charming atmosphere. Ban Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled with his head down. His girl was indeed smart. She wanted to hear an explanation when she refused to kiss him.

He carried Lin Weixia to the shore with one hand. Lin Weixia sat by the swimming pool, all wet, like a wet little animal.

Ban Sheng came ashore, handed her a bath towel, and said, "Go take a shower, don't catch a cold."

He was worried that Lin Weixia would catch a cold, so he wanted her to take a shower before talking.

Lin Weixia didn't answer, she opened her eyes and looked at him, the two looked at each other, in a silent confrontation. Her eyes were beautiful and clear, Ban Sheng watched her only hold out for three seconds before she gave in:

"Li Ning is Wu Suan's relative, and also half of my relative. He helped me before."

So help her hide her phone.

"I was the one who introduced her to her boyfriend. I'll take you to meet them next time." Ban Sheng said calmly.

Ban Sheng's attitude was frank, and Lin Weixia believed him, but she just looked at him without saying anything, deliberately keeping a stern face to look a little cute.

Ban Sheng lowered his neck and smiled, then he understood and spoke slowly:

"I'll only give you Coke from now on."

The two were about to take a shower when suddenly there was a noise at the door. Li Yiran came over with a coconut in his hand, and Ban Sheng came over, and the two stood together and talked. Lin Weixia wiped her wet hair with a towel, and heard intermittently that Li Yiran wanted to modify one of his cars and came to borrow a toolbox.

Ban Sheng asked him to get it himself. Li Yiran glanced at Lin Weixia and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "

"Ah Sheng, you haven't gotten rid of this woman yet."

"It hurts so much that I don't know what to do."

Ban Sheng's thin lips opened and closed, and judging from his lip shape, he was telling him to get out. Li Yiran was not angry either, he just pushed the door and left.

He walked over and told her to ignore Li Yiran's words. Lin Weixia shook her head, but Li Yiran's words reminded her of what happened yesterday.

Yesterday evening, Lin Weixia was doing homework in the classroom. There were not many people in the class at that time, and a few girls gathered together, drinking milk tea and chatting.

"It's really strange. Ban Sheng has always been in the style of watching the fire from the other side of the river and not caring about other people's life or death. This is the nth time. I really don't think it's necessary to go against everyone for Lin Weixia." A girl said.

"Yeah, you remember that incident before, no, he—"

“Ahem…” The girl motioned for her to stop talking and continued the previous topic, “Hey, stop talking. He tried to help her, don’t you know how badly Zheng Zhaoxing and the others cursed Ban Sheng behind his back.”

"I don't think Lin Weixia cares that much about Ban Sheng. Tsk, it's not worth it to be angry for the Marshal."

"What are you thinking about?"

A low voice came from her ear, and Lin Weixia's thoughts were pulled back. She shook her head. Ban Sheng raised his hand and wrapped the person tightly with a bath towel. The two went upstairs to take a shower one after another.

On the second floor, Ban Sheng took a cold shower. Not long after, he came out and went to the room where Lin Weixia was taking a shower.

He was wearing only a pair of trousers, sitting leisurely on the sofa, facing the terrace, his wet black hair constantly rolling down and dripping onto his high brow bones.

Girls take a longer shower, and there is a constant sound of water splashing through a glass door. Hot air mixed with the fragrance of shower gel drifts out from the crack of the door, and Ban Sheng always feels that the hot air is wrapped around his arms and chest.

The heat of the air was scorching, burning his breath.

Ban Sheng picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned up the air conditioning.

The sound of water stopped, and she began to put on her clothes. Maybe it was too quiet in the room, Ban Sheng heard the sound of a bra being fastened, closed his eyes, and his Adam's apple slowly slid up and down.

It should be the slender wrists around the snow-white back, fingers wrapped around the side of the bra -

The water drops hit the floor tiles, making a clear and annoying sound. Ban Sheng leaned back on the sofa, his eyes were filled with emotion, and his throat suddenly felt itchy.

He swore under his breath.

Ban Sheng bent over and picked up the cigarette and lighter from the table. He stood up suddenly and put on a black T-shirt. The spine on his back straightened instantly. He pushed open the door and stood on the terrace to smoke.

The cold wind and the nicotine in his lungs calmed his restlessness, and Ban Sheng regained his calm look. Not long after, Lin Weixia pushed the door open and walked out.

Ban Sheng raised his eyelids and looked at her from a distance, then said, "Come here."

Lin Weixia was wearing his shirt. The sleeves were too long, so she tried to roll them up. The shirt was loose, but it barely covered her white thighs.

A pair of deep, dark eyes stared straight at her.

Lin Weixia had just finished taking a hot shower. Her skin was a light pink and her whole body was like a peeled egg. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her long black hair had wet the shirt on her chest.

There were surging emotions in his eyes but he was trying hard to suppress them. Lin Weixia walked over slowly and tried hard to suppress her rapidly beating heart. At the same time, she felt embarrassed. She was wearing Ban Sheng's shirt and always felt that his scent was too strong.

Lin Weixia stood in front of him. Ban Sheng saw her avoiding him like a ferocious beast and chuckled:

"Will I eat you again?"

Before she could react, an arm with blue veins reached out, one wrist rested on the collar of her shirt, and with a stronger tug, Lin Weixia was easily brought forward, her white thighs rubbing against her soft black pants.

Her legs were touching his.

A shadow fell.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Ban Sheng leaned over to look at her. Lin Weixia's breathing became tense as she smelled a faint scent of cigarettes on him.

She glanced at the scarlet cigarette butt held between Ban Sheng's slender fingers and slowly pressed it into the potted plant. With a sizzling sound, a hole was burned in the green cactus and the leaf stems curled up slightly.

Trembling.

Lin Weixia's heart trembled. She felt like this cactus, with her heart burned by the fire in Ban Sheng's dark eyes.

The scalding heat surged out.

"Are you going out without pants like this?" Ban Sheng raised his eyebrows.

Lin Weixia whispered, "Your pants are too big."

Ban Sheng chuckled and said, "Oh, I'll go out and buy it for you later."

Lin Weixia wanted to rescue her collar from Ban Sheng, but he kept pulling at it and refused to let go. He came closer and sniffed. She only heard him chuckle:

"My body wash."

Ban Sheng swept her whole body with a ruffian's aura, and added slowly:

"My clothes."

The careless and low laughter echoed in Lin Weixia's ears. Her fair ears became hot and itchy. Her toes tensed up involuntarily, but she could not ignore the fact that half of her neck was numb because of the approach of the person in front of her.

The two of them were too close, his breathing lingered around her, and when she raised her eyes she could see his sharp jawline, and when she moved up,

Facing that bewitching face.

A feeling of panic.

Lin Weixia pulled back her collar with force, took a big step back, and panted with a slightly red face:

"Why do you keep pulling my collar? I'm not your brother."

Ban Sheng snorted and laughed, holding a lighter and cigarettes, and planned to go out to buy her clothes. After the door was closed, Lin Weixia sat on the sofa and drank water. The boy turned back and glanced at her:

"Close the door."

"oh."

Ban Sheng walked downstairs quickly and asked the driver to take him to a nearby mall to buy clothes. After driving for more than ten minutes, they arrived at a brand store.

He always considers comfort first when buying clothes. He took a liking to the simple co-branded shirt on the shelf and picked out a pair of jeans, thinking that it would just suit Lin Weixia's cool temperament.

Ban Sheng didn't even look at the price and went straight to the cashier to pay for the clothes.

The waiter took the clothes and began to scan the barcode on the tag. Ban Sheng took out a card from his wallet and handed it over. The waiter looked up at the right time and was surprised when he saw the boy's appearance clearly.

Wow, handsome guy.

The waiter took the T-shirt and said with a smile: "Hello, this shirt you picked is a couple's version. This one is for your girlfriend, right? You can also pick up a men's one. If you buy them together, I can give you a 10% discount."

"No need." Ban Sheng said.

When it comes to discounts, you have to register your mobile number to become a member, and then you will receive piles of spam messages during holidays. Ban Sheng thinks it is too much trouble.

Ban Sheng walked out carrying a blue paper bag, and his gaze paused as he looked at the shirt in the bag.

Lin Weixia played for a while and drank half a glass of juice before Ban Sheng came back. He handed her the paper bag and a handful of strawberry candies.

"Did you buy it specially?" Lin Weixia asked with eyes wide open.

"No, I picked up two at the front desk when I was buying clothes." Ban Sheng paused.

Lin Weixia took the paper bag and noticed that there seemed to be a blue paper bag on the sofa where Ban Sheng was leaning. She naturally asked:

“You buy clothes, too.”

Ban Sheng was bending over to take off the mechanical watch on his wrist. When he heard this, his Adam's apple rolled unnaturally and he replied:

"Well, I'm short of clothes."

After Lin Weixia changed her clothes, the sun slowly set, and it was dusk. The two planned to go to the Bay Park for a walk and watch the seagulls, so they went out together.

As soon as they came out and got rid of the air conditioning, the heat around them was scorching. The two walked side by side on the road, with heavy traffic. Along the way, Lin Weixia was still thinking about what happened before, and she would be absent-minded from time to time.

"Would you like a cold drink?" Ban Sheng asked her.

"Yeah." Lin Weixia responded.

Two people crossed the road one after the other. Since this road is in the central area, there are two traffic lights, many vehicles and pedestrians are crowded together. The delivery trucks also passed by here, making it even more crowded.

Ban Sheng was afraid that the car would hit someone, so he stood slowly on her left side. The boy's tall and straight figure intentionally blocked most of the sunlight for her.

He said nothing, and he wasn't the type to seek credit, but Lin Weixia saw it all.

He treated her very well and spoiled her unconditionally.

The two had just crossed a section of the road when the next intersection had a green light, but there were only a few seconds left, so Ban Sheng deliberately quickened his pace. He didn't want to waste any more time waiting for the red light.

He walked a few steps and found that the person behind him had not caught up, so he stopped. The green light not far away suddenly flashed and turned red, and he could not get through at all.

Ban Sheng was a little helpless. When he was about to turn around and look for his girl, a gentle voice came, with a tone that was neither hurried nor slow:

"Don't turn around, just stand there, I have something to tell you."

Ban Sheng froze, his back facing her, and didn't turn around.

Lin Weixia paused and said seriously: "Ah Sheng, I am a slow-tempered person. I may be cold-hearted as others say, but I am indeed a person without conscience."

"Thank you for everything you have done for me."

Ban Sheng, who had his back to Lin Weixia, felt his heart tighten, as if he was being held in the air by a thread. He didn't understand what Lin Weixia meant. Did she mean to stop there

Thinking of this, his jaw tightened into a sharp arc and he remained silent.

"I'm not very good at expressing myself—" Lin Weixia paused and her heart became nervous.

Lin Weixia knew that in order to stand against everyone, he was indeed very good to her.

"But now, I want to try to walk towards you."

Sincerely.

After 60 seconds of red light, there was a beating sound, and the screen flashed to green. Lin Weixia walked over quickly and touched the back of Ban Sheng's hand with her slender white fingers. The phalanges at his fingertips moved.

A blend of warmth and cold.

Lin Weixia took the initiative to hold his hand.
