Raise Love-20-Ryderoo coaxes little girls

Aria blinked slowly.

Ryder lowered his eyelids and chuckled. "Aria, show me. I've never seen a ghost in my life."

Aria: "..."

Damn it, it's right behind you!

He said in a breathy voice again, "You were talking to me so quietly just now. Was it because you were afraid the ghosts would hear us?"

Aria: "..."

I'm afraid the ghost will bite you, :)

"I'm so scared too."

Aria: "..."

"Ryder!" Aria couldn't bear it anymore. She was so embarrassed by his teasing that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She raised her voice and called him.

"Yeah," Ryder chuckled softly, rubbed the top of her fluffy head, and continued to speak in a low voice. "I'm here."

"Don't be afraid." He deliberately whispered in Aria's ear. "I was kidding. I'm not afraid. I'll protect you if there are ghosts."

Teased by him, Aria wasn't as scared anymore, but her body stiffened slightly.

Although she was still very embarrassed, her heart started beating faster again.

Because Ryder was really close to her now.

One of his arms was casually placed on the side of her shoulder, almost encircling her small body. Her back couldn't help but lean against his chest.

The boy's unique scorching body temperature was transmitted to her, and she felt as if her whole body was about to catch fire.

Burned to nothing.

"Ryder," Aria bit her lip, slightly turned her head, her gaze drooped in the dim light, landing on his clothes. Her voice was so small that it was almost like she was talking to herself.

It dissipated gently.

"...Was that senior from yesterday your girlfriend?"

He seemed to let out an "hmm", his throat vibrating, the end - sound rising, with a hint of faint doubt.

Aria felt the warm chest behind her vibrate slightly, as if he was laughing. Then her head was pressed again.

"What's up," Ryder chuckled softly, speaking slowly and leisurely. "You're concerned about my relationship status too? Is this what you learn from hanging out with that little girl Maya Brooks?"

He didn't answer.

Aria pursed her lips and stopped asking.

She was quiet and leaned forward slightly with a small movement.

If that beautiful girl was his girlfriend, she couldn't stop herself from liking him, but she couldn't touch him so naturally and even with a little secret joy.

A careless snort came from above her head.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ryder moved his fingers and turned her head around, looking down at her. "Are you upset?"

Aria raised her eyebrows, her long and curled eyelashes fluttering. Her round and beautiful almond - shaped eyes looked at him, with a hint of barely noticeable wetness.

Her black pupils were dark, and the emotions in the depths of her eyes flickered. Somehow, she looked a bit pitiful.

Ryder looked at her, his fingers that were casually pressing on her head tightened slightly. He pressed his tongue against his cheek. Suddenly, he remembered.

This little girl was very delicate.

In the past, she probably thought he wasn't a good person and wouldn't even say a word to him. Now that she was finally not so cold towards him, he couldn't help but tease her, but he also couldn't go too far.

He was good at reading people. At a glance, he could tell that this little girl must have been pampered and spoiled.

But girls, they should be doted on.

So deep down, Ryder actually always thought that a younger sister shouldn't be like Maya Brooks. Instead, she should be like Aria, more like a cute and delicate little sister.

Even he might not have realized this thought.

Aria felt guilty under his gaze, and her heart felt sad again. She shook her head, trying to avoid his touch and get away from him.

She pursed her lower lip, lowered her eyelashes. "No."

"She's a member of the Student Union. She has nothing to do with me." Ryder let out a soft sigh. Most of the girls around him were sophisticated, bright, bold, and loved to have fun.

Aria was like someone who had strayed into his world.

If he spoke a little harshly, she would unconsciously show a timid look and still have to deal with him, making him feel that he was being too fierce.

"Ah?" Aria opened her lips, and then joy spread across her face in an instant.

When she was happy, her eyes sparkled.

Her black pupils were like two little stars, shining brightly.

She was delicate, well - behaved, and cute.

Ryder's eyes focused for a moment, then he moved his gaze away, lazily teasing, "Why aren't you afraid of ghosts now?"

"I'm still afraid," Aria looked up at him, playfully blinking at him. "But didn't you say you'd protect me?"

Ryder laughed. "Okay, let's go."

"I'll protect you."

The corners of Aria's lips curved, and the fingers hanging by her side curled tightly, gripping the corner of Ryder's clothes.

If only she could hold on forever. gōΠb.ōγg

Although there was no one in the classroom at this time, on the campus streets, there were still couples walking hand in hand, and those whispering intimately by the stone tables and chairs in the small woods hadn't gone back yet.

The streetlights on the side of the road were swaying dimly. The temperature had dropped, and the breeze made them feel refreshed all over.

Aria reluctantly let go of the corner of his clothes in her hand.

Before Ryder could say anything, she took the initiative to step forward and then to the left, putting a safe distance between them.

Ryder didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Aria obediently said, "Thank you."

This little girl didn't know much else, but she was good at saying thank you and then leaving.

On the street, many girls were holding cold drinks, skewers, ice - cream, and various snacks they just bought from small shops in their hands. They were chatting and eating, sharing bites with each other.

Ryder looked thoughtfully, then retracted his gaze and landed on the little girl's empty hand except for the phone.

"What do you want to drink?" The tips of his fingers still seemed to retain the temperature of the girl's head. He casually put his hands in his pockets. When passing by Gangyinzhigang (a milk - tea shop name), he slightly tilted his head. "My treat."

Aria thought for a while and didn't refuse. She said she wanted longan jelly tea.

Ryder frowned slightly.

"Wait for me here."

His steps were unhurried, but he walked quickly. Aria thought he wanted to drink too, so she stood there waiting, watching him walk into the store until his figure was blocked by other students.

Since he was treating this time, she would have a chance to return the favor next time.

Thinking of this, Aria smiled.

Soon Ryder came out with two cold drinks in one hand. Aria had been staring at the store entrance and saw him immediately.

Her gaze shifted slightly and landed on his other hand.

Ryder naturally handed her the ice - cream. "It's a new flavor in the store. I saw a lot of people buying it. Try it?"

Aria hesitated for two seconds and then took it.

Before she could say anything, Ryder interrupted her. He chuckled, "No need to say thank you. You've almost overused those two words."

Aria's expression became a bit awkward.

It was just a simple ice - cream cone with several kinds of fruits and pink jam on it, probably strawberry jam.

It smelled sweet.

Aria lowered her eyes and took a bite. The ice - cream melted in her mouth, sweet, soft, and fluffy. It was so delicious that she closed her eyes.

She quickly swallowed and took another bite.

Ryder watched, imperceptibly curving the corners of his lips.

...She was like a cat.

His gaze fell on the top of the little girl's fluffy head. His hand itched, and without holding back, he reached out and ruffled her hair.

Aria had been touched on the head by him many times today. At this moment, attracted by the ice - cream, she didn't even notice anything wrong and forgot to feel uncomfortable.
