As if a big object had been lifted from her heart, happiness spread across her tiny face. “Thank you, Elder Brother Jing Qian.”
The long-awaited “Elder Brother” was particularly pleasant to the ears.
She said it in a soft and sincere voice and with a sweet smile on her face. It was so sweet that it seeped into Jing Qian’s heart.
Suddenly, Jing Qian remembered that Xiang Yi Mo had always been frequently mentioned by Qing Chu even though he had not seen her during the gathering between the four of them in the past few years.
At one time, Jing Qian, Lu Wang Chen and Ji Heng Yu had always heard Qin Chu talk about how lovable, innocent and adorable his Mo Mo was.
Now, instead, Qin Chu was complaining to them about how Mo Mo became rambunctious and unreasonable.
Jing Qian previously wondered if there was some kind of misunderstanding.
At this moment, he didn’t know if there was a misunderstanding, but he knew that Mo Mo was still the same Mo Mo and that Xiang Yi Mo hadn’t changed.
“Right,” Xiang Yi Mo said. “Jing Qian, when you are home, can I leave the cooking to you?”
In both her past and present life, Xiang Yi Mo had no talent for cooking, and the title “Kitchen Killer” was particularly appropriate for her.
You might be asking her how she solves the problem of eating since she has been living alone for so long away from the Xiang family.
How else could she solve this problem? There were canteens at school and restaurants for takeaway. It was just that since she had tasted Jing Qian’s cooking, she wasn’t very eager to eat something that she was tired of eating outside.
Jing Qian froze for a moment. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he agreed.
When Xiang Yi Mo came home and “woke up”, it was already past 6.40 pm, so she had eaten the dinner prepared by Jing Qian. After she washed up, it was almost 8.00 pm.
It wasn’t too early nor too late. Xiang Yi Mo didn’t have anything else to do, so she went to bed first.
The bed was lit by a dim light.
Xiang Yi Mo sat on the bed, listening to the sound of the water in the bathroom, and was a little distracted while scrolling through her phone.
She raised her hand and patted her face.
Calm down! It isn’t the first time we shared a bed!
But the future bed-sharing isn’t the same as the previous one.
The thought of what could happen at any time in the future, even if it didn’t occur tonight, of being held in Jing Qian’s arms and pinned underneath him…
Her heart raced even quickly, and her face couldn’t help but heat up as she suddenly thought of their kiss a few hours ago.
Her first kiss… felt kinda good?
As she thought of this, she was a little shy.
Her slender fingers lightly tapped on her lips. The fingertips rubbed slowly and unconsciously against her lips as if she was reminiscing it.
Actually, she had woken up in the car.
As for why she didn’t open her eyes, it was only because she wanted to see what Jing Qian would do.
At that time, although she pretended to be asleep, she really didn’t expect that Jing Qian would kiss her uncontrollably.
The moment his fresh breath came over her, Xiang Yi Mo was dumbfounded. Her mind was empty, as if the information processor had died, and she was almost exposed.
Thus, she simply pretended to be about to wake up.
Time passed as Xiang Yi Mo contemplated. After an unknown amount of time, the bathroom door creaked open.
Xiang Yi Mo froze for a moment before raising her eyes to see—
The tall man with a handsome face walked towards her with a dazzling mist.
Although he was only wrapped in a bath towel on the lower half of his body and his upper body was bare, he still looked like a celestial being walking out of a painting.
Most of the man’s body was exposed.
His muscles were smooth and elegant, not lean and weak nor overly muscular and hard; each one was just right. It was even more beautiful Against his snow-white skin, causing Xiang Yi Mo’s eyes to be fixed on him.
With excellent eyesight, she even saw water droplets sliding from his neck across his chest and rolling down to the area below his belly…
He was bewitchingly beautiful.
Xiang Yi Mo gulped and hastily averted her gaze. “Why did you… Why did you get out like this?!”
He’s breaking the rules. That’s such a foul.
This guy definitely did it on purpose, deliberately using his beauty to ensnare her.
Jing Qian glanced at her flushed cheeks and the tips of her ears. His chest vibrated, and he chuckled.
“Mm… I forgot that there are no clothes that I can change into.”
“Then–Then, that’s all for now. Good night.” Xiang Yi Mo pursed her lips. She spoke somewhat incoherently.
She immediately shrank under the blanket and covered herself up tightly. Then, she pointed her finger to the side. “Sleep under that blanket, and remember to wash and dry the clothes you have changed out of.”
The little soft voice was quivering slightly. It was apparent that she was in a state of panic.
He watched Xiang Yi Mo’s small movements and then glanced at the other blanket she had prepared for him, seemingly intending to draw a line. Jing Qian smiled and remained silent to express that he understood.
The more he finds her cute, so cute that he wants to…
