Jin Ruiyang chuckled softly, "Say it a second time, and I’ll just carry you off!"
"No!" Xu Sisi, deeply afraid that Jin Ruiyang would really carry her through the streets, reflexively leapt onto Jin Ruiyang’s back, tightly clinging to his neck.
Jin Ruiyang hadn’t expected her to leap with such force, nor had he anticipated her to move so quickly.
He thought she was just being shy and was about to turn his head to speak to her.
So, the tragedy occurred: with a pounce from Xu Sisi, Jin Ruiyang was knocked to the ground, his face pressed against it by her momentum.
At that moment, Jin Ruiyang’s composure was completely disrupted.
Embarrassing, utterly embarrassing.
What made Jin Ruiyang feel even more embarrassed was Xu Sisi’s next remark.
"Ah, Brother Ruiyang, are you alright? Sorry, I didn’t realize you couldn’t withstand a pounce like that." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NovєlFіre.net
Having knocked Jin Ruiyang over, a frightened Xu Sisi quickly got up, attempting to pull him to his feet.
"It’s okay..." The expression on Jin Ruiyang’s face was quite a spectacle as he tried to salvage some of his image.
Seated on the ground with his legs bent and stretched out, "Xiao Sisi, actually, Brother Ruiyang is not so..."
"I know, Brother Ruiyang, you don’t have to explain." Xu Sisi considerately patted the dust off his trousers. "Brother Ruiyang, don’t force yourself, I really can walk on my own."
As if afraid of wounding Jin Ruiyang’s pride, she blinked her large, sparkling eyes while staring at him.
"I can carry you," Jin Ruiyang emphasized!
"Mhm, I know!" Xu Sisi nodded, her eyes growing even wider.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Jin Ruiyang knew she didn’t believe him, not only that, but she also seemed intent on preserving his dignity.
Jin Ruiyang suddenly felt a mix of amusement and frustration.
He sighed with a laugh, and as he stood up, he swept her up in his arms.
It was a princess carry, lifting Xu Sisi effortlessly.
His sudden action made Xu Sisi wrap her arms around his neck with a soft exclamation.
"Rui, Brother Ruiyang..." Xu Sisi looked at Jin Ruiyang with frightened wide eyes.
Jin Ruiyang suddenly discovered that as long as he was with Xu Sisi, her multitude of antics would inevitably affect him.
This kind of experience had been rare in his twenty odd years of life, yet, since meeting her, it had become all too common.
Jin Ruiyang couldn’t help but smile indulgently.
In that moment, time seemed serenely beautiful.
Enthralled, Xu Sisi watched the smile at Jin Ruiyang’s mouth. When Brother Ruiyang smiled, he looked really handsome.
She could feel her heartbeat accelerating.
"Why are you so insistent on carrying me?"
"But I only bumped my head, I can walk, and besides, my head doesn’t even hurt anymore."
"Alright, then I’ll give you a different answer, I want to carry you."
I want to carry you...
That light remark rippled through Xu Sisi’s heart, setting off waves upon waves.
She couldn’t help thinking, fortunately, she had chosen Brother Ruiyang, without getting lost in her past confusions.
Brother Ruiyang once said that his gentlemanly gentleness was all an act.
But Xu Sisi suddenly realized something.
In her presence, even when he acted like a ruffian, he was gentle with her.
Around them, people looked at them with curiosity and prodding gaze, yet Xu Sisi suddenly felt like none of it mattered.
With him by her side, it was truly wonderful.
His steps halted abruptly as Jin Ruiyang lowered his head, his pitch-black eyes in that moment seemed to twinkle with starlight, shining with an extraordinary brightness.
