Okay, come here for a hug (3)

Leh Ying turned her head and obediently nestled into his embrace, her jade-like arms weakly wrapping around the man's slender waist for warmth.

The sparse lantern light cast two shadows on the ground, which eventually overlapped, leaving only the broad silhouette of the man.

When the wind rose, the chimes rang out 'bing bing,' one burst after another.

Leh Ying pressed her face against his firm chest, her nose suddenly filled with a sour bitterness, "Mr. Xu, have you finished talking?"

The little creature in his arms spoke timidly, her voice carrying the nasal tone of someone catching a cold.

Xu Jingxi's arms tightened their hold, then tightened some more; his backhand, like a fan, easily concealed the young girl's delicate body within his embrace. He bent his head down, laughing, and hummed an acknowledgment.
