Ryder, of course, wasn't deaf. He slightly raised his eyelids, raised his eyebrows with great interest, and stared intently at the little girl's bright red face, then let out a snort - laugh.
Aria hung her head desperately, her delicate white ear - tips and the skin behind her ears also turning red. She wished she could hide herself.
"Are you extremely shy?" Ryder moved closer, couldn't help but chuckle, and pulled her into his arms, wrapping his coat around her. Aria was completely shielded by him.
Aria buried her face in his warm chest, her fingers gripping the hem of his coat.
Feeling the slightly rapid vibration of the boy's heart, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of security and couldn't help but snuggle closer.
After a while, she softly said "Yeah."
"There are so many people."
She didn't feel this way just now, but now she felt extremely shy.
It was so embarrassing.
Everyone turned their heads to look for the sister who had shouted. They only saw a figure that quickly hid and flashed by.
There were too many people, so it was impossible to find her. They simply gave up and continued to send their blessings.
"Since you two are together, isn't the president going to kiss her to declare his sovereignty?"
"Come on, president. The little fairy is so beautiful. There are many boys here secretly thinking about stealing her, you know!"
Surprisingly, after these words were said, a few scattered male voices did appear.
It's really hard for a boy to resist a gentle and coquettish little girl.
But probably because they were worried about Ryder, they didn't dare to shout too loudly. The scattered voices were quickly drowned out by the heckling.
"Everyone who confesses successfully kisses!"
"Kiss, president! Kiss, president! Kiss, president!"
"Hey, where are the roses?? Bring a bunch of roses quickly. The president should kneel on one knee! Our little girl can't be wronged. She should be pampered in the palm of her boyfriend's hand!"
"..."
Ryder was holding the little girl in his arms, who was too shy to come out and face the crowd, and listened casually to the noisy crowd.
He didn't care at first, but then suddenly caught some annoying words.
Male students on the scene?
Trying to steal his girl?
He narrowed his eyes.
As a professional "corner - stealer" who was even honored to have stolen the corner successfully, Ryder really didn't like this word.
Only he could steal others' corners. Which fool would dare to come and steal his little girl?
Hmph.
The little girl who had fallen into his hands was his wife. Don't even think about it.
Even if that so - called stinky man in the legend came, he had to step aside. Didn't they hear his girl say just now that she liked him the most?
Ryder, feeling very annoyed, tugged at the corner of his lips. With his chin resting on top of Aria's head, he suddenly said in a low voice, "Airy, lift your head."
"..."
Aria didn't want to.
Ryder became even more annoyed and drawled, "Baby."
Aria: "... Don't call me that."
She was almost nineteen years old. She wasn't a child. Even her parents had never called her like this!
"Oh." Ryder paused, and obediently changed his words, "Wife, lift your head."
Aria was so startled that she immediately looked up at him: "...?"
"Ah -" Ryder met the girl's wide - eyed almond eyes and her cute, incredulous expression. He raised his brow bone, as if suddenly realizing something. "So that's how it is."
Aria asked blankly, "How what is?"
Ryder stared at her, his eyes pitch - black. He held her chin with his thumb and index finger, lifted it slightly, and chuckled, looking both bad and ruffian. "You don't like me calling you baby, but you like hearing me call you wife?"
"No, no!"
Aria was a bit crazy. What was all this? Couldn't he just call her normally like before...
"No way." Ryder saw through the little thoughts in her head. He pressed his forehead against Aria's, acting like a rascal. "A boyfriend has to be different from others. I like calling you like this."
"It makes us closer."
Aria looked at him speechlessly, with a complaining expression.
Ryder drooped his eyelids listlessly, pretending not to see. He even seemed a bit wronged. Just looking at her, in the moment Aria was stunned, he started making a request in a low voice.
"I heard someone trying to steal my girl."
He reached out and tightened his arms around the little girl's soft waist. With droopy eyelids, looking as if he had been bullied, he used the normal address. "Airy, kiss me to declare your sovereignty."
"..."
Aria thought he was being a bit excessive.
But with such an expression on his face, whether it was real or fake, even if it was just an act, Aria found it hard to say no.
He didn't know that she was always completely under his control.
As long as it was a request he made that she could meet within her ability, she always found it hard to refuse him.
Even though she was extremely shy now.
But he wanted to declare his sovereignty, to tell everyone that she was his. Looking at it from another perspective, wasn't it also her declaring sovereignty?
He was also hers.
Compared to her, Ryder was probably the more sought - after one, right?
I don't know how many girls wanted to win him over.
Thinking of this, Aria took a deep breath, hooked her arms around his neck, and stood on tiptoe. Ryder lowered his head in cooperation. Aria, her eyelashes fluttering shyly, gently kissed his lips.
There is always a kiss in a confession.
So it wasn't that embarrassing for her to kiss him to declare sovereignty.
Aria secretly encouraged herself, trying to make her face less hot. She bravely opened her lips slightly and bit him.
"..."
Ryder, who had been restraining himself, tightened his palm on the little girl's waist. His eyes darkened instantly.
His Adam's apple slid up and down restlessly.
He didn't expect the little girl to be so bold as to bite him?
At this moment, Aria secretly raised her eyes.
Then she was shocked by the boy's gloomy and complex eyes, which were filled with suppressed, blazing desire. She was so scared that she wanted to step back.
But the palm on her waist, which was getting hotter and hotter, suddenly tightened.
"Want to run?"
Ryder tugged at the corner of his lips and said hoarsely, "It's too late."
"..."
Aria was stunned. Ryder leaned close to Aria's lips, chuckled, and said, "Your boyfriend will teach you how to properly declare sovereignty."
After saying that, before the little girl could react, he held the back of her neck, completely covered her in his arms with his clothes, and pressed against her slightly open lips. He said in a low voice, "Open your mouth."
"..."
Aria was stunned and didn't react. Ryder chuckled, and without hesitation, he took the initiative, biting the girl's soft lips and probing inside.
"He kissed! He kissed her!"
"I heard them talking. He's declaring his sovereignty, right?!! Wuwuwu, damn it. The president is blocking so tightly!"
"Ah - ah - ah - it's so embarrassing. Please, you two must be locked together for this life and the next!"
A weak male voice, "Wuwuwu, the goddess has been defiled..."
"Get out! Shut up!!"
Until the kiss ended, the heckling didn't stop. Aria buried herself in Ryder's arms desperately and refused to raise her head.
It was too crazy.
Really too crazy.
Aria's heart was pounding wildly. She couldn't imagine that one day she would be kissing Ryder in full view of everyone.
... Fortunately, it was night. There was at least a bit of a cover.
Ryder chuckled softly, lowered his head and said in her ear, "Don't be afraid. Listen, I'll count to three, and then we'll run, okay?"
