Bai Wanwan set down what she was holding and said to Shi Hua, "Shi Hua, could you start stringing these for me? I'm going to go check on something out back."
"Of course, sister. Go on."
Bai Wanwan turned and walked briskly toward the backyard.
"Yan Lie, were you calling me?"
"Wanwan, hurry over here."
Yan Lie closed the distance in a few strides and swept her up into his arms.
His hands brushed against a ticklish spot, and Bai Wanwan couldn't help but laugh as she tried to squirm away. "What are you doing?"
Yan Lie, completely oblivious, saw her radiant smile and felt a tickle in his own throat. He pulled her even tighter.
Bai Wanwan laughingly slapped at his hands. "Yan Lie, let me go!"
It was so ticklish that she kept wriggling, and the friction made Yan Lie's entire body go rigid. He quickly set her down on the lounge chair.
