This was the first time Zhu Jinzhao had experienced such a formal kiss.

She was a little nervous and at a loss, completely blank and unsure of what to do. She could only try to comply in a daze.

She felt Shi Jing trying to pry open her mouth, so she obediently opened her lips and let Shi Jing in.

She felt Shi Jing's tongue entwining with hers, so she imitated him and responded with her own tongue.

She tried very hard to cooperate, but she was as clumsy as a student who didn't know how to do things properly, which aroused Shi Jing's desire.

Shi Jing clearly felt her response, and his heart pounded more and more uncontrollably.

At first, he managed to control himself, only holding Zhu Jinzhao's shoulders and kissing her. Later, as the kiss deepened, he couldn't help but pull Zhu Jinzhao into his arms, kissing her while irresistibly caressing her lower back.

"..."

The carriage was very quiet, so quiet that only the heavy breathing of two passionate people could be heard.

The surrounding oxygen thinned as the two intertwined, and their skin, pressed together, began to heat up uncontrollably.

The kiss lasted a long time; Shi Jing wouldn't have let go of Zhu Jinzhao unless he felt she was about to suffocate.

"call……"

The moist lips reluctantly parted amidst the hot, panting breaths, leaving a trail of transparent silver.

"Heh," Shi Jing chuckled, blushing, and wiped the silver thread from Zhu Jinzhao's lips.

Zhu Jinzhao was completely stunned by the kiss and didn't even know what Shi Jing was laughing at.

However, the silver thread stirred up some ambiguous memories for Shi Jing.

As he savored Zhu Jinzhao's seductive advances, he pulled her into his arms and buried his head in her fragrant, soft neck.

"Chao Chao, how come you're so good at bewitching people?"

"...Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao's head was spinning, and she couldn't understand what he meant at all.

He gently rubbed his lips against Zhu Jinzhao's neck, shook his head, but refused to repeat himself.

Zhu Jinzhao's neck was very sensitive; after he kissed it a few times, she couldn't help but feel numb all over.

“Heh,” he laughed again, a laugh that was both ambiguous and seductive.

“Shi Jing…” Zhu Jinzhao reached out and grabbed his hem, shrinking back in tension.

Shi Jing gently patted her back, biting her collarbone as she said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to kiss you, I won't do anything else."

After saying that, he revealed two small, sharp teeth and bit her collarbone hard.

"ah!"

Zhu Jinzhao suffered pain, but did not push away the mirror.

Shi Jing let go and glanced at Zhu Jinzhao's collarbone in the dim car lights. He saw a clear tooth mark on her fair skin.

Shi Jing smiled with satisfaction: "Chao Chao, you've been officially recognized by me. You'll only ever be mine for the rest of your life."

Zhu Jinzhao, somewhat annoyed by the bite, exclaimed, "It's yours, it's all yours!"

Shi Jing looked up and kissed her lips again, which he had just kissed so deeply: "It's getting late, Chaochao should go back and rest."

"Mm." Zhu Jinzhao nodded.

Shi Jing touched her face, his eyes full of reluctance: "Ah, if only Chaochao lived in my house, then I wouldn't have to endure a long-distance relationship that lasts all night."

"Pfft..." Zhu Jinzhao laughed at him, "Your family and the Ning family are only separated by one street, how can it be a long-distance relationship?"

"It's a long-distance relationship!" Shi Jing frowned and emphasized seriously, "As long as you're not by my side, it's a long-distance relationship!"

"Okay, okay..." Zhu Jinzhao didn't argue with him and let him talk nonsense. "It's a long-distance relationship, so Shi Jing will have to bear with it."

"Hmph..." Shi Jing leaned against her, looking unhappy.

Although he kept saying that she should go back and rest, Shi Jing still clung to her and cuddled for a long time.

By the time she finally got out of the car and started walking towards the Ning family's house, it was almost 1 a.m.

"Buzzing—"

"Buzzing—"

The two had just parted when Zhu Jinzhao's phone started ringing incessantly.

She took her phone out of her bag and, unsurprisingly, saw the screen filled with Shi Jing's ramblings.

I miss you every morning.

—I love you every day.

—Chao Chao, kissing you is so wonderful, I want to kiss you again tomorrow, I want to kiss you eight hundred times a day.

—Chaochao, I'm marrying you tomorrow.

—Zhaozhao, I miss you so much I can't sleep.

Zhu Jinzhao kept her head down, patiently replying to his rambling as she walked into her room.

—Shi Jing, I miss you too.

—I love you too.

—If you kiss 800 times a day, won't your lips get swollen?

—We've only just started dating, isn't it a bit too early to talk about marriage now? But if you really want to get married, we can seriously consider it.

—You're bragging... You haven't even gotten home yet, how come you can't sleep?

Although Shi Jing's rambling was a bit boring, Zhu Jinzhao replied to every single one of them seriously. After replying, she happened to reach her room door.

Shi Jing had already finished reading her message and it showed "typing," so she didn't put her phone away and directly opened the door with the hand that was carrying her bag.

The room was brightly lit, and Jiang Jingwen and Ning Shi sat on the edge of her bed, looking at her with mischievous grins.

"……ah!!!"

She was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.

"You're back?" Jiang Jingwen squinted, feigning ignorance. "Why are you so late today? Did you go out with someone?"

"..." Zhu Jinzhao buried her head and chuckled, too embarrassed to speak.

"Oh my!" Ning Shi exclaimed suddenly, staring at her lips. "Why are Chaochao's lips so unnaturally red? Is she suffering from internal heat?"

"!!!"

Zhu Jinchao, feeling guilty, almost immediately pursed his lips.

Jiang Jingwen suppressed a laugh and exchanged a glance with Ning Shi, both seeing the signal to "stop" in each other's eyes.

"Alright, stop hiding it." She stood up, walked to the door, pulled the wooden-like Zhu Jinzhao inside, and then slammed the door shut.

“We all know about you and Shi Jing, so you don’t need to be so nervous.”

"Sit down quickly." Ning Shi tugged at Zhu Jinzhao's arm, making her sit down next to her. "Chaozhao, what happened between you and Shi Jing today? How did you suddenly become a couple?"

Zhu Jinzhao blushed deeply and asked curiously before answering the question, "How did you know that Shi Jing and I were together? Did Qin Ming and the others tell you?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Jingwen said, “When Shi Jing was showing off in their brothers’ group chat, Ning Shi and I happened to be right next to him.”

"Ahem..." Ning Shi cleared her throat, then suddenly said in a high-pitched voice:

"Baby……"

"Eh~~"

"Ah!!" Zhu Jinzhao raised her hands and covered her face, too embarrassed to face anyone!

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Jingwen laughed loudly, and while laughing, she and Ning Shi tried to pry her hands apart.

"Your little lips are all red from kissing, why is Chaochao still so shy? Come on, tell us the details of your kiss..."
