When his warm breath brushed her nose, Cen Jin’s heart seemed ready to leap out of her chest. Seeing the smile in his eyes, Cen Jin’s face flushed again, and with a bashful smile, she pushed him away, unable to continue her questioning.
After choosing a restaurant for dinner, the two strolled hand in hand through Central Street. As they passed a small mall, a girl handing out flyers came directly to Jiang Baizhou, bypassing Cen Jin, and handed him a flyer with a bright smile and a twinkle in her eye: "Hello, handsome! This is from our store’s new collection. If you’re interested, you should check it out!"
Jiang Baizhou glanced at the flyer that suddenly appeared before him and then shot a cold glance at the girl handing out flyers: "No, thanks." With that, he simply pulled Cen Jin past her.
Being pulled along, Cen Jin couldn’t help but lower her head and laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Baizhou asked, turning his head.
"I mean, the girl greeted you with a smile, her eyes nearly pulling your soul out, and look at you, you just glanced at her, seeming a bit disdainful. Isn’t that a bit harsh?" Cen Jin teased, tilting her head playfully.
But Jiang Baizhou, upon hearing this, remained calm and composed, his handsome face showing great poise as his eyes deepened, as if contemplating something profound. It was a while before he replied, "Rather than breaking her heart, I’m more afraid of hurting yours. Others don’t matter, only you do."
Cen Jin froze, her heart skipped a beat. She had intended to tease him, but now found herself flirting back.
Suddenly, it felt somewhat awkward!
Usually, appearing cool and indifferent to everything, Cen Jin didn’t expect him to be so skillful. His sweet words came one after another, and each one hit its mark perfectly.
This guy must be doing it on purpose!
Indeed, upon seeing her blushing, embarrassed expression, Jiang Baizhou’s eyes flashed with a triumphant smile, and he calmly continued to speak: "Hm? You’re not satisfied with my response?"
"Since when did you learn to spew such flowery words? You’re talking nonsense." Knowing Jiang Baizhou’s mischievous nature, Cen Jin rolled her eyes at him in irritation, lightly tapping his arm.
"Self-taught genius."
"Was I just complimenting you?"
"Jiang Baizhou, where is your shame?"
"To you, do you want it?"
"No way." Cen Jin flung his hand away irritably and strode forward.
Jiang Baizhou watched her back, carefully savoring the remaining warmth in the palm from her hand, a sly smile played on his lips as he sprinted after her, and took her hand again.
When they returned to the villa, they got out of the car together, Jiang Baizhou leaned against the car door: "Tomorrow afternoon I’ll be going to the school."
"Mhm, I know, you mentioned it to me before, didn’t you?" Cen Jin stood in front of him, nodding.
"No special gesture?"
"Gesture for...?" Cen Jin asked blankly, meeting his eyes. Three seconds later, it dawned on her, and she gave him a playful glare, stood on tiptoe, and brushed her lips lightly against his: "I find you’ve become quite unrestrained these past two days."
As her toes were about to fall to the ground, Jiang Baizhou embraced her waist, supported her body again, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, directly responding to her with action.
Having her is such a happy and sweet thing, a moment he had endured for too long, how could he still show restraint as he had before!
