78 Is This an Indirect Kiss?
“Thank you, Mother!” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly. The way her eyes curved into crescents was extremely cute.
In addition to Ji Zhao, Second Sister-in-law Shen and Ji Chen also got a big bowl of steamed egg with minced meat.
Ji Chen obediently thanked her, while Second Sister-in-law Shen smiled so widely that her eyes could not be seen!
After the family finished their dinner, Ji Zhao walked to the courtyard to watch the stars with Ji Chen.
“Chenchen, do you see those stars over there?” Ji Zhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, looked up at the starry sky and pointed at the stars in the sky. He smiled and said, “That’s the Big Dipper!”
“To learn the constellations, you start with the Big Dipper first, and it unfolds from the north to the west,” Ji Zhao explained with interest. “Chenchen, look, connecting the shapes of the seven stars into a line, doesn’t it look especially like a dipper?”
Ji Chen thought about it seriously and finally nodded. “Yes!”
“Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, and Megrez are the four stars that make up the dipper. The handle-shaped three stars are Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid.” Ji Zhao rubbed Ji Chen’s face and continued to explain, “The positions of the Big Dipper in the night sky are different when the seasons are different. With the Dipper pointing east, it is spring; with the Dipper pointing south, it is summer; with the Dipper pointing west, it is autumn; with the Dipper pointing north, it is winter.”
“I didn’t expect you to have some understanding of astrology.” Shen Yao brought the sliced watermelon to Ji Zhao. His gentle tone was filled with curiosity.
“Not really.” Ji Zhao waved her hand modestly. “I just happen to know this.”
Shen Yao lowered his eyes to hide the curiosity in them. He was even more puzzled.
How many secrets were hidden in Ah Tao’s heart?
Ji Zhao picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Ji Chen. Then, she took a piece herself.
“Thank you!”
“Mm.” Shen Yao could clearly feel that she was much more nervous. An indescribable sense of frustration suddenly surfaced in his heart.
“It’s so sweet!” Ji Zhao took a bite of the watermelon, her eyes filled with surprise.
Her smile was bright and beautiful, sweeping away the frustration in Shen Yao’s heart.
Just as Shen Yao was about to pick up a piece of watermelon to taste, he was stopped by Ji Zhao.
Her slender palm landed on his wrist. It was clearly a cold touch, but it made his heart heat up for no reason.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re still recovering from your cold. It’s not appropriate for you to eat such cold fruits,” Ji Zhao said with a sincere smile. “Besides, didn’t you just drink the medicine? You’d better not eat watermelons.”
“…Okay.” Shen Yao nodded obediently and immediately put down the piece of watermelon in his hand.
Ji Zhao picked up the watermelon happily and took an extremely elegant bite.
Seeing her narrowed eyes and enjoyment, Shen Yao’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and took a big bite of the watermelon she had bitten!
“It’s indeed very sweet!” Shen Yao commented with a smile. After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Ji Zhao to answer.
Ji Zhao came back to her senses and stared at the watermelon that Shen Yao had bitten. She blinked blankly.
Was this considered an indirect kiss?
Ji Zhao suddenly thought of this sentence and felt her cheeks burning.
“Sister?” Sensing that something was wrong with her, Ji Chen tugged at her sleeve worriedly.
“Chenchen, I’m fine.” Ji Zhao smiled. “Chenchen, although watermelon is delicious, if you eat too much, you’ll want to go to the toilet at night. So, let’s eat this and not eat anymore, okay?”
“Okay!” Ji Chen nodded obediently. His cute and adorable expression could melt people’s hearts.
