Chapter 364: Encountering Someone You Don’t Want to Encounter
The host’s inexplicable emphasis on Xiaomuqing’s age caused a moment of awkwardness.
Held in Ye Ziming’s arms, Xiaomuqing felt both unbearable and inexplicably flushed, wishing she could burrow into the ground and bury herself.
In her embarrassment, she looked up at Ye Ziming, grit her teeth, and felt regret.
She shouldn’t have acted on impulse and done such a thing when she had just intended to be reserved.
But now that it had happened, regret was useless.
“Don’t worry, I’ll hold on until the end.”
Looking down at Xiaomuqing in his arms, Ye Ziming smiled confidently.
This time, it was an unexpected surprise, a huge win.
“Whimpering.”
Xiaomuqing buried her face in Ye Ziming’s chest, her cheeks red, unilaterally cutting off communication with him.

As time passed, Ye Ziming’s arms started to ache, and holding Xiaomuqing gradually became difficult.
Just as he was about to give up, the last remaining couple next to them couldn’t hold on any longer, and the girl almost fell to the ground.
“Congratulations to contestant number five for winning this match!”
As the host announced the results, Ye Ziming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he almost failed Xiaomuqing’s “brave strike.”
Fortunately, he held on a little longer and managed to survive to victory.
The couple next to them had a very strong boyfriend, but his girlfriend was also very ‘strong.’
In other words, they won largely because Xiaomuqing was small and light enough.
“Here, be careful.”
Ye Ziming carefully put Xiaomuqing down, clearly feeling that his arms were no longer his own.
They were sore and numb, likely needing some time to recover.
Therefore, when he put Xiaomuqing down, he was worried he might drop her with a shake of his hand.
“Are you okay?”
After landing, Xiaomuqing looked at Ye Ziming’s arms, frowning slightly with concern in her eyes.
“I’m okay, just a bit tired.”
Noticing this, Ye Ziming immediately raised his eyebrows and lowered his hands. He said he wasn’t tired, but his body showed extreme fatigue.
Holding a loli weighing dozens of pounds for so long would naturally be a bit tiring.
Although he had made a huge profit this time.
“Emmm.”
Hearing Ye Ziming’s words, Xiaomuqing frowned again, worrying about Ye Ziming even more.
However, she didn’t say anything, just held his hand and led him off the stage to rest.
She knew without a doubt that holding up such heavy weight for so long would be tiring.
Moreover, she clearly remembered that the last time she alone carried books home for her final exams, her hands hurt for two days.
After the event, Xiaomuqing not only received her prize but was also pulled into the store by Ye Ziming, where he bought her a bracelet with a coupon.
It was small, delicate, and beautiful. Xiaomuqing, who usually didn’t like jewelry, found she didn’t want to take it off after putting it on.
She felt a sense of cherishing it.
“Do you like it?”
After putting the bracelet on Xiaomuqing, Ye Ziming cupped her small, delicate hands with his own, his care so tender as if he were looking at a precious work of art.
“Mm.”
Looking into her good brother’s eyes, Xiaomuqing felt a bit embarrassed, but she still nodded earnestly.
Then, the corners of her mouth curved up involuntarily, a faint smile appearing.
In fact, as long as they didn’t mention what had just happened, and she hadn’t kissed Ye Ziming, she could still sit down and chat properly.
Xiaomuqing chose to selectively forget about kissing Ye Ziming, in other words, playing dumb.
However, reality didn’t seem to give her that chance.
Just as Ye Ziming finished paying and took Xiaomuqing’s hand, planning to stroll around more and then go to the movies.
They encountered three people…
“Bro… why are you guys here!
