“A grand celebration? How?” Gao Fengxia frowned.
“Chi Jiao’s birthday is on the same day as mine. I hope that my birthday banquet will be grander than hers,” Ruan Xiaoxiao said.
She was an entire year older than Chi Jiao. She felt that this was a coincidence arranged by the heavens. Other than the difference in the year, she had the exact same birthdate as Chi Jiao.
She would never allow herself to be suppressed by her again.
In this lifetime, she would definitely trample Chi Jiao under her feet!
“Who’s the big shot you’re talking about?” Gao Fengxia asked with a frown.
“You’ll know at my birthday party.” Ruan Xiaoxiao turned around and got into the car.
*****
At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
When Quan Jue entered the living room, he saw Chi Jiao lying on the sofa with a thin blanket covering her body. She was curled up like a shrimp and sleeping soundly.
Milk was sprawled on the carpet beside the sofa.
The cat opened its eyes when it heard the noise. When it saw that it was Quan Jue, it immediately relaxed. It got up and ran to him, rubbing against his pants and letting out a contented meow.
Chi Jiao was woken up by the sound and sat up abruptly.
When she saw that it was Quan Jue, the wariness and nervousness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a soft smile.
“Didn’t I tell you not to wait for me and to go back to your room to sleep when you’re tired?” Quan Jue said as he walked to the sofa and sat down.
“It’s quite comfortable sleeping here.” The girl’s voice was a little raspy because she had just woken up.
Quan Jue looked at her. His heart felt like it was being gently covered by a warm hand.
It was indescribably warm.
Before he met Chi Jiao, he never thought about what it would be like to have someone waiting for him at home.
Now, he was personally experiencing this wonderful feeling.
With her, he finally had a home.
Chi Jiao felt the chill from Quan Jue’s body and knew how cold it was outside.
She reached out to hold his slightly cold hand and placed it on her chest, trying to warm his hand with her body temperature.
Quan Jue stiffened. He had a strange feeling.
However, the young girl looked as though she didn’t know what was going on. She looked at him innocently. “Brother Quan, school is starting in a few days.”
Quan Jue responded with a faint grunt as he tried his best to control his erratic breathing and heartbeat.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Chi Jiao’s cherry-red lips as she spoke.
“When school reopens, I’m going to open a small shop. Everything is already prepared, and I’m just waiting for an auspicious day to launch it. By then, I can study while earning some money to supplement the household income,” Chi Jiao said primly.
Quan Jue knew that she wasn’t short of money.
She must have other motives for opening the shop.
But he didn’t ask.
As long as she liked it, he would support her.
Chi Jiao continued to talk, but Quan Jue was a little distracted. His gaze was fixed on her chattering mouth.
Finally.
His endurance had reached its limit. His handsome face slowly approached hers.
His thin lips covered her soft lips.
Chi Jiao’s eyes widened in shock. She reached out to hug Quan Jue’s waist and closed her eyes in response.
The passionate kiss harbored an endless love and oblivion as if it wanted to devour the other party’s soul and never part with it.
A sweet aura spread in the air.
