grape mints

Lin Yueqin just stared at him with a smile on her face. Jiang Gao was stunned for a moment.

"Prince Lanling, Prince Lanling!"

"The exclamation point above my head is lit! Be careful!"

"Hey! Use your skills!"

The child next to him chattered and kindly reminded him,

Jiang Gao came back to his senses and lowered his head to continue playing the game he had not yet finished.

Three minutes later, with a "victory", he quickly turned off the phone.

"Look at the ratings! He's definitely the MVP!"

"Brother! Let's check the rank first!"

"Hey, keep going!"

"Don't fight anymore!"

The children looked up inexplicably and noticed the strange beautiful woman in front of them.

"No need to play today, I have something to do." Jiang Gao said in a flat tone.

"Ah~!" A mournful sound rang out.

The children's eyes rolled back and forth, looking between the two people. They also realized the relationship between the two. Although their faces were full of reluctance and unsatisfied feelings, they still climbed up from their chairs.

"Brother, take me with you next time!"

"I want one too! I want one too!"

Jiang Gao smiled faintly and didn't reply.

The children took this as a tacit agreement and immediately dispersed with laughter, jumping and skipping to find the next place to play.

Now Jiang Gao was the only one left on the bench.

Lin Yueqin sat down next to him, her face full of smiles.

"You are so welcome! Teacher Jiang!" She couldn't help but joked.

Jiang Gao chuckled and answered seriously, "They are just more interested in games."

Lin Yueqin raised her eyelids and looked at him with doubt.

"Didn't I say I'd send you a message?"

"Well, I'm waiting for your news." He answered frankly.

Lin Yueqin was startled, her eyebrows moved slightly, and her face became hot because of his words.

Is that what she meant?

She glanced down at her clothes. Because she was at a meeting, she was wearing a formal-looking striped shirt and a pair of casually paired wide-leg pants. The simplicity of the shirt exuded a dull, serious air. She was a little dissatisfied.

He pretended to check his phone again and said, "You came too early. I was going to go back and change my clothes."

Jiang Gao looked at her and nodded slightly, then said softly, "Well, I'll wait for you here."

She didn't stand up, but suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. She pursed her lips and looked up at the sky.

It is a sunny day today, but it is not as hot as midsummer. It is just right to wear a short-sleeved shirt. It is not too hot, but the sunlight is still a little dazzling.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Aren't you hot sitting here?"

Jiang Gao paused for a moment and said, "Not bad."

"Uh...well, let's go up and have some water!"

Jiang Gao looked at her, a hint of surprise clearly flashed in his eyes, and he tightened his grip on the phone.

"No, I'll wait here."

"It's okay." Lin Yueqin insisted.

"Let's go." She stood up and stared at him, completely waiting for him to get up.

Jiang Gao had no choice but to go with her.

…

There were only two of them in the elevator. At this moment, the low roar of the elevator as it moved upward was particularly obvious. The two of them tacitly did not speak, but just stood there silently waiting for it to rise.

In the enclosed and silent space, Lin Yueqin's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and a trace of regret quietly rose: Why was I so impulsive just now? The atmosphere now was so awkward.

"How long have you been here?" she asked.

"Not long." It was the familiar words again.

She looked at him sideways with a questioning expression.

"Two games." Jiang Gao added,

Lin Yueqin thought about it and realized that two games would only take about forty minutes, so luckily she didn’t have to wait too long.

"It attracted so many children in just forty minutes!"

Actually, he had opened five games. After lunch, he couldn't sleep and walked over slowly.

Of course Jiang Gao was just thinking about it silently, he would definitely not say it out loud.

Then he couldn't help but chuckle: "A little kid's onlookers can attract a crowd."

Lin Yueqin also found it inexplicably funny.

The awkward atmosphere between the two seemed to ease a little.

The elevator dinged softly, and they arrived at their floor.

The two walked out of the elevator.

When Lin Yueqin reached the door, just as her fingers were about to touch the doorknob, she suddenly remembered something, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes. She turned back to look at Jiang Gao, and said with difficulty: "Um... do you mind waiting at the door for a minute?"

Jiang Gao raised his eyebrows, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded.

Lin Yueqin quickly pressed her fingerprint and entered the house.

Because the full-length mirror was placed in the living room, she threw it on the sofa after trying on clothes last night, and it was now a mess.

She swiftly picked up the scattered clothes and threw them into the room, then quickly looked around the living room. Well, it was generally tidy.

No! With her sharp eyes, she immediately noticed a suspicious bit of black lace peeking out from the edge of the pillow.

She rushed over quickly, pulled the black underwear out from under the pillow, then ran back to the room and stuffed the underwear into the drawer.

Her cheeks were already slightly hot at this moment. She took a long breath and silently said in her heart: "That was a close call!"

After confirming that everything was fine, she ran to the bathroom and quickly tidied up her slightly messy hair in front of the mirror.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting her state, she pushed open the door.

At this moment, his face was already covered with a professional standard smile, showing no sign of panic from earlier. He said in a casual manner, "Sorry for the wait. Come in."

She took out a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on the ground.

"I bought this for my dad when we first moved. You can wear it first."

"Um."

Under Lin Yueqin's gaze,

Jiang Gao bent down to change his shoes, placed them neatly on the shoe rack, and then stood up.

Lin Yueqin just kept staring at him in front of him.

The space for changing shoes at the entrance of the room was a bit narrow, and the two of them were standing face to face, motionless.

"Oh!...Ah!" Lin Yueqin reacted suddenly, a trace of barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across her face, then she turned away and walked forward.

"Sit anywhere!"

She went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.

"You sit down and rest for a while, I'll go change my clothes." Without waiting for him to sit down, she turned around and closed the door.

Lin Yueqin's house is not big, but every corner is well decorated and made very warm by the owner.

The refrigerator is covered with unique refrigerator magnets, and there is a four-layer glass display cabinet next to the TV cabinet.

The bottom floor is filled with a wide variety of Pop Mart figurines, and the second to last floor is filled with cute Disney Qibao dolls.

Further up, which is the most visible layer, are the trophies neatly arranged.

The top layer is slightly higher and seems empty at first glance, so it is easy to be overlooked. There are some small items like badges lying flat on it. In addition, you can vaguely see a rectangular piece of paper spread out.

Jiang Gao's attention was attracted by this layer. He tilted his neck slightly, wanting to see it more carefully.

The content above seemed a little familiar, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.

He saw clearly that it was a banner, his cheering banner.

Jiang Gao withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, walked to the sofa and sat down, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, and drank a sip of water with a calm expression.

After a while, when Lin Yueqin came out after changing her clothes, she saw Jiang Gao sitting upright on the sofa.

She changed into a light-colored floral halter dress with a short hem, revealing her straight and slender calves. The skirt was a slim fit, outlining her graceful figure.

The quiet and gentle outfit made her quickly switch from the workplace style to the sweet style.

Jiang Gao only glanced at her when she came out, his eyes lingering on her for a moment, and then he politely looked away.

"What are we going to eat later?" She sat down on the sofa chair placed on the side, and took out lipstick and air cushion to do a simple makeup touch-up while speaking.

Jiang Gao shook his head and looked at her: "What do you want to eat?"

Lin Yueqin stopped what she was doing and thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I don't know."

What to eat later? This is an eternal question.

She put on her lipstick and continued, "It's okay, it's still early. If you don't know what to eat, just go shopping first and see if there's anything you want to eat later."

"Okay." Under his gaze, Lin Yueqin put away the things in her hands.

"Then let's go."

The two of them stood up.

When she went out, Lin Yueqin grabbed a few candies on the coffee table.

After pressing the down button for the elevator, she handed one to Jiang Gao and asked, "Want to eat?"

He shook his head.

"Huh? Why?"

"I don't really feel like eating."

Lin Yueqin took back her hand, tore off one and put it in her mouth, then tore off another and put it close to his mouth, pretending to feed him.

"Delicious!" She said it naturally, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Jiang Gao lowered his eyes to look at the candy wrapped in laser paper that was about to reach his mouth, then moved his gaze to her face. She opened her eyes and signaled him to take it with her eyes.

This action made it difficult for him to refuse. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his right hand to take the peeled candy and put it in his mouth.

The candy wrapper was very small, and when passing it to someone, their fingertips inevitably touched lightly.

The slightly cool touch brought by the fingertips made Lin Yueqin pause slightly. She then reacted, turned around quickly, faced the elevator door, and subconsciously rubbed it lightly with her fingertips resting on the crotch of her pants.

Jiang Gao rolled the candy around in his mouth. It was minty grape flavor, and a slight coolness filled his mouth. Then, the unique sweet and sour taste of grapes spread across his tongue, and the freshness of the candy spread throughout his mouth. Just right.

"Ding", the two walked into the elevator.
