Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Don’t Say!_1 Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Don’t Say!_1 “Just like that?” An Jing was clearly dissatisfied with his mere grunt of acknowledgment.
Xiao Changyi immediately said, “I like you.”
An Jing’s smile beamed in an instant, “I like you too~” She paused, “But next time you kiss me, you need to give me a heads-up.” If it weren’t for Mrs. Xiao Chen causing a scene, she would still be blushing in the inner chamber.
An Jing raised her eyebrows with a touch of arrogance, “What, not willing to agree?”
“That’s not it…” Xiao Changyi frowned slightly, seeming somewhat at a loss for words.
“It’s just that I can’t help myself,” Xiao Changyi said with a straight face, but his words were honest.
An Jing felt so sweet inside that, despite trying to control it, a smile still showed on her face, and then, she boldly said, “Alright then, you don’t have to give me a heads-up, but you’re not allowed to tease me about it!”
If it hadn’t been for just now, she wouldn’t have known she could still blush.
In the army, she could take any joke and had never blushed before, today was the first time.
Xiao Changyi felt a bit wronged, “I wasn’t teasing you…”
“Weren’t you?” An Jing frowned, her face full of suspicion, “But just now, I clearly saw the laughter in your eyes.”
Xiao Changyi was silent for a moment before he confessed honestly, “That was because I was happy in my heart to see you blush from my kiss.”
This time, An Jing fell silent.
After a long while, with nothing to say, An Jing turned and went back to the inner chamber, leaning on her walking stick.
Xiao Changyi followed behind her nervously.
An Jing sat on the bed in the inner chamber and stared at Xiao Changyi, just quietly looking at him without saying a word.
Xiao Changyi’s face was originally expressionless, but under An Jing’s gaze, his unease grew and his eyebrows slowly knitted together. He tentatively called out, “Jing Er?”
An Jing’s heart fluttered. This was the first time the man had called her by her name. Before, he had never even called her by her full name, and now he was calling her so affectionately. It was a blow of such magnitude that it made her heartbeat miss a half beat, which was downright unfair!
Still, An Jing said nothing.
Xiao Changyi thought back over his recent exchange with An Jing and couldn’t find anything amiss, so he called out again, “Jing Er?”
An Jing still said nothing, but her heart skipped another half beat.
Seeing An Jing , Xiao Changyi sighed gently with a mix of helplessness and indulgence before he spoke softly, “Where have I upset you? Just tell me, and I’ll change.”
Only then did An Jing speak, “You said I blushed!”
Xiao Changyi quickly nodded, “Mhm, you didn’t blush.”
“Don’t say I blushed in the future!”
“Even if I do blush, you’re still not allowed to say it!”
Finally, An Jing laughed, her eyes smiling as she said, “If you say I blushed, I’ll get shy~”
Seeing Xiao Changyi’s expressionless face and his silence, An Jing suddenly felt like she might have gone too far, and she began to get nervous, asking cautiously, “What, are you angry?” She was just trying to tease him and hadn’t meant to make him angry.
Xiao Changyi shook his head.
“Then why aren’t you speaking?” Although he was usually a man of few words and often silent, something now felt off to her.
Xiao Changyi said indifferently, “Giving you time to adjust.”
And then, An Jing blushed a deep red once again.
Watching An Jing’s blushing little face, a hint of a smile touched Xiao Changyi’s usually cold eyes.
