“Mel!”
Brooklyn looked flustered as he moved forward and sized her up for a while. He sighed in relief only after he noticed that she seemed to be fine.
“Are you alright? I heard that you were surrounded by my grandma and family just now.”
Brooklyn knew how terrifying the female members of his family were. They had urged him to get married some time ago, and he dared not come home for a few years.
Now the girl he liked had come over to stay for two days. But the group of women caught his innocent senior when he looked away. He was so scared that he put his work aside and ran over immediately.
When Melody saw his hurried demeanor, she could not help but frown and say, “Why are you running? Take your time, I’m fine.”
Brooklyn shook his head to acknowledge that he was fine. When he saw Melody hand him a handkerchief, his blue eyes filled with warmth, and a smile formed on his handsome face.
“Thank you, Mel. My hands are tired from playing the piano, and they’re cramped. Could you help me with the wiping?” He did not take the handkerchief. Instead, he bent down slightly and leaned close to Melody so that he was the same height as her.
His blue clear eyes were full of expectations. He also seemed to look nervous and anxious. That caused more fine sweat to seep out of his forehead.
Melody glanced at him helplessly, but her gaze was coquettish without her realizing it. “You’re an adult. Why are you still acting like a kid?”
She said that, but she still helped him. She gently stood on her toes, raised her hand, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the handkerchief. Her movement was tender and careful.
Brooklyn’s heart totally melted. He did not make a sound and even held his breath. He was afraid of disturbing his beautiful dream.
After Melody wiped the sweat off and stepped backward, he finally raised his hand gently and covered his pounding heart. His grin was so wide that he could not hide it.
“Thank you, Mel,” he said. His expression was like a light breeze and bright mood that made her feel comfortable. “Mel, can you give me the handkerchief? I’ll wash it.”
Melody handed it to him and did not give it much thought. She just said, “Spend more time with your family these two days. It’s okay if you return the handkerchief to me a few days later.”
