Raise Love-57-Ryder heart is on fire and restless

Aria closed her eyes, her forehead hitting his hard chest. She gasped in pain, and a low grunt came from above her head. She quickly stepped back and looked up nervously.

Unexpectedly, she lost her balance. Ryder's arm was still around her waist, and with the combined effect, she fell back into his arms again.

Aria: "..."

Ryder: "..."

There was an instant silence. Aria felt like crying.

What on earth was going on?

Her face was buried in Ryder's arms, and she didn't dare to move. He had already taken off his black suit, and now he was only wearing a white shirt. Two buttons at the collar were undone, and his tie hung loosely in a rakish manner.

Aria felt the scorching heat of his chest and the steady, powerful beating of his heart. Her face turned bright red in an instant, and the blush even spread to the tips of her ears.

Ryder noticed the sudden increase in temperature on his chest and couldn't help but look down.

The girl's overly fair side - face and the small, delicate, red - tipped earlobe beside the fish - bone braid came into his view clearly.

What's more, the girl was wearing a light - blue dress today. Due to this posture, the back of the collar was a bit large.

His eyes fell along the girl's tender white nape, and he saw the beautiful shoulder blades with a concave arc in the middle, connecting to the shoulder ridge. A thin strap intercepted it, which was the shoulder strap of her small underwear. The pure - white, flawless lace edge, and even the two slightly bulging mounds on both sides were all unreservedly presented to him.

"..."

Ryder's hand holding the girl unconsciously tightened. He froze after just one glance, and then quickly averted his gaze.

But that seductive scene was almost obsessively imprinted in his mind.

His mouth and tongue were dry in an unprecedented way, a strange and unfamiliar feeling. Some restlessness rose in his heart, and his eyes became dim.

He noticed that the little girl seemed a bit scared.

He cursed in a low voice, took a deep breath, and expressionlessly let go of his hand, then grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her back a little.

He lazily tugged at the corner of his lips and smiled, "Throwing yourself into my arms, little classmate?"

Aria didn't dare to look at him, and her face became even redder.

She stammered a soft explanation, "N - no, I just tripped accidentally. I didn't mean to bump into you..."

"Oh?" Ryder suppressed the dim look in his eyes, nodded casually, and chuckled, "Is that so?"

Aria nodded repeatedly.

"Then why are you blushing?" he asked, leaning lazily against the wall.

Aria: "..."

Who wouldn't blush when they accidentally bump into the arms of the person they like and bury their face in his chest!

But Aria couldn't say that.

She carefully raised her watery almond - shaped eyes and peeked at him.

Perhaps because she hit her nose, those clear eyes were filled with water, and the tip of her nose and her cheeks were all red.

The beautiful little girl looked so pitiful at this moment, and her appearance was simply innocent and alluring.

Ryder couldn't help but catch his breath.

The scenery he had seen just now reappeared in his mind.

He gritted his teeth. For the first time, he realized that this girl had really grown up. She wasn't like before, just a little girl.

She was young, with a childish appearance, and the baby - fat on her face was as cute as a little kid. The most important thing was...

— Her chest was flat.

And just now, the petite body that bumped into him, the slender and soft waist that seemed as if it could be snapped, and the soft, bulging curves under the white suspenders.

All proved that she had grown up.

The grown - up little girl also had someone she liked very much in her heart.

He didn't know which brat it was.

This feeling of seeing the little cabbage he had watched grow up suddenly being eaten by a pig that came out of nowhere made Ryder's already irritable mood even worse.

His face darkened.

Aria saw that his face was slightly gloomy and immediately became nervous. The blush on her face instantly faded a bit.

She asked cautiously, "Ryder, are you angry?"

Ryder lazily lifted his eyelids, his eyes passing over her, looking at her with an unclear expression.

Aria became even more nervous. She then remembered the low grunt she heard from above her head when she accidentally bumped into him just now, "Or did I accidentally hurt you when I bumped into you?"

Ryder didn't say anything.

Aria was afraid that he was in pain. She always thought that although this boy was good at fighting and everything, he was rather delicate.

She was a bit anxious.

He was a boy, and he must be too embarrassed to admit that he was hurt.

Now that he wasn't speaking.

Aria raised her eyes and peeked at him carefully. After a while, she bit her lip and, to his surprise, reached out her hand to touch his chest.

Ryder: "?"

He looked at her in disbelief.

Aria lowered her head, extremely scared. She held her breath, not daring to look up at him, so she had no idea what his reaction was.

She had never rubbed anyone else before, so she could only think of the strength Ryder used when he rubbed her leg a few days ago. She tried to be gentle and silently rubbed his chest.

Ryder almost laughed out of anger.

The little girl's boneless, tender white hand was gently rubbing his chest, and the strength was less than that of a newly - born kitten scratching.

The tip of his heart was tickled by this little strength, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy. He suppressed the urge to pinch her and make her cry, and stared at her with a sinking gaze, licking his teeth.

His voice was low and hoarse.

"Aria, what are you doing?"

"I..." Aria's eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't help but look up at him. She found that his face was even gloomier.

"???"

Was rubbing not okay?

Why did it seem like he was even angrier?

Aria bit her lip, feeling a bit discouraged. She said in a small voice, "If you're in pain, I'll rub it for you. Don't be angry, okay?"

Ryder: "..."

He lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The little girl clearly didn't understand anything.

She didn't know what this dangerous behavior meant to a man, and how fatal it was.

Ryder admitted that although he wasn't a good person, he was at least a gentleman. It was him. If it were someone else, wouldn't they eat her up without leaving a single bone?

This thought didn't make him happy.

He had a sullen face, his fingertips twitching. He raised his hand and grabbed the girl's neck, making her lean back and look up into his eyes.

He said, "Look at me."

Aria pursed her lips, and her evasive eyes fixed.

She looked wronged.

Ryder sighed, reflecting that he might have been too fierce. His voice softened a bit, "Don't rub randomly, understand?"

Aria was quite honest, "I was the one who bumped you."

Ryder smiled mockingly, "I'm a man. The strength of your bump is less than a cat's scratch. Is it necessary?"

"..." Aria looked at him without speaking.

He clearly seemed to be in pain just now, otherwise why would he grunt?

Well, Aria told herself that he was concerned about his pride. He would get angry when others refused him, let alone think he was weak.

Maybe boys were just such a species that cared so much about their pride.

Ryder especially.

It seemed that what Sydney shared in those books still made some sense. Aria didn't want to argue with him.

So, under his rather oppressive gaze, she nodded.

"Oh."
