Chapter 59

I'm warning you, living together is one thing...

In the bustling shopping mall.

Lin Jin made the mistake of being stubborn and insisted on dragging her walker alone, inching her way toward the supermarket.

She looked quite exhausted as she walked, her brow furrowing occasionally, her disheveled hair stuck to her forehead with sweat, which she didn't bother to tidy up.

She habitually hooked her hand on Cheng Sangluo's clothes, as if the puppy would run away if she wasn't careful. Her unspoken dependence was hidden in the smallest details.

At this moment, Cheng Sangluo was unusually patient, because she had seen the crazy woman's disheveled state.

Amidst the bustling crowd, she still took the initiative to support Lin Jin's arm.

Always subconsciously afraid of hurting the crazy woman, she held her slender wrist with a light but reassuring grip.

Although she occasionally complains about how crazy women like to cause trouble, when it comes to crucial moments, she is more nervous than anyone else, afraid that the people around her might hurt Lin Jin in the slightest.

"There are a lot of people, be careful not to get your feet squeezed." Cheng Sangluo's tone was hesitant, trying to hide her insincere concern, and she deliberately added, "So as not to cause me any trouble."

“Then you…” Lin Jin smiled, amused by the puppy’s awkwardness, yet pleased by the rare initiative. So, between linking arms and holding hands, she chose to interlock her fingers tightly. “It’s best to hold on tighter.”

She raised her clasped hands and waved them at Cheng Sangluo, then said playfully, "Well, since you've been so well-behaved, I've decided to implement a reward and punishment system. If you behave well, I'll deduct some of your debt."

Cheng Sangluo didn't shake off Lin Jin's hand; instead, she subtly tightened her grip, as if in response to the crazy woman's cry of "hold on tighter!" But she uttered something annoying: "So, can my current behavior offset 100 yuan of the debt?"

"Tch." Lin Jin wrinkled her nose unhappily and judged, "Intentional flattery will not be rewarded."

"What? I thought you were so generous." Cheng Sangluo scoffed. Now she really wanted to shake off the crazy woman's hand, but she was held firmly, like a leech. "You're not only crazy but also shameless. You're stingy even for 100 yuan."

"If you bark again, I really won't pay off your debt." Lin Jin's easy threat silenced the little dog.

Cheng Sangluo bit her tongue and remained silent for a while, seemingly unable to hold back her anger, before urging, "Hurry up and buy things, then we can go to your house. Don't waste time."

Lin Jin smiled and corrected, "It's not my home, it's our home."

Cheng Sangluo's spine stiffened for a moment, her sensitivity to 'home' hidden in her stunned silence.

She suddenly stopped and turned around, as if to say something in rebuttal, but Lin Jin bumped into her.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around that slender waist, lowered her head and stared at the crazy woman with a wicked grin, "I'm warning you, living together is fine, but don't get any dirty ideas!"

The crazy woman teased, "What haven't we done together? Are you afraid I'll drug you?"

The puppy was furious: "Don't say those two words! Aren't you disgusted?!"

The crazy woman took the opportunity to tighten her arms around the puppy's waist, saying, "I just heard a very ambiguous word~"

Cheng Sangluo stammered, "Wh...what word..."

"Living together, huh?" Lin Jin smiled warmly, then paused for a moment, savoring the moment, "Yes, we're going to start living together!"

As Lin Jin savored the thought of 'cohabitation,' she naturally tilted her head, her soft hair brushing against her beautiful bones and sliding down her slender shoulders, revealing a touch of girlish charm.

Her innate sense of superiority was not limited to her exquisite and beautiful features, but rather to an intangible and unpredictable aura.

An indifferent demeanor, an arrogant disdain for all things, or perhaps an unpredictable fickleness.

These complex words are etched into her very being, creating an aura of unapproachability and danger, yet captivating all who behold her.

In Cheng Sangluo's eyes, the unpredictable madwoman had gained another layer of character; her naturally wicked temperament concealed a touch of gentleness and playfulness.

Just like her at this moment, she was muttering "cohabitation" to herself, her eyebrows curving into beautiful crescents, her smile genuine, her eyes filled with pure and intense anticipation.

Cheng Sangluo was so engrossed in the gaze that she almost succumbed to its depths, but she was quickly drawn back to the new questions that popped into her mind.

What does cohabitation mean?

Looking at Lin Jin's expectant face, Cheng Sangluo also tilted her head and fell into deep thought.

Like a wolf that has tasted loneliness, her heart, riddled with wounds, is locked within the high walls she has built herself, and she has long been accustomed to being alone.

Suddenly living with someone you hate is undoubtedly an unbearable torment.

This feeling is like being suddenly hit with a stone in a closed world—unnecessary and irritating—or like having a knife plunged into loneliness, cutting a deep wound and infecting your nerves with intense discomfort.

Cheng Sangluo took a deep breath, trying to release this discomfort, and sighed helplessly: "If I hadn't been forced to, why would I be living with you? Do you understand this feeling, this suffocating and disorienting discomfort?"

These heartfelt words caused Lin Jin's smile to stiffen slightly.

That smile looked more like the disappointment of not getting a response, and it also suddenly extinguished the fantasies of countless long nights, bringing a surge of overwhelming hidden pain.

If Cheng Sangluo is a thorny, trapped beast, then Lin Jin is a rose.

If things don't go her way, she'll bar her fangs and unleash her thorns, protecting herself while hurting others.

She released her arms from the dog's waist, took two steps back indifferently, and said calmly, "You just need to do as I say. Who cares whether you want to or not?"

Lin Jin was angry, but unlike before, she didn't argue on the spot. Instead, she became dejected and silent.

Cheng Sangluo hesitated, realizing she had said the wrong thing. When she tried to explain tactfully, the person in front of her didn't give her a chance and turned around, quickening her pace towards the supermarket.

Instead of torturing the puppy, she chose to torturing herself in order to see if the person truly cared about her.

Sure enough, the puppy got anxious, and the crazy woman smiled with satisfaction.

"Slow down, slow down!" Cheng Sangluo called out urgently, taking two steps to catch up.

In a moment of desperation, she blindfolded herself and scooped the lithe, crazy woman up in her arms, no longer caring about the astonished looks from passersby.

Lin Jin didn't struggle. She stared intently at the puppy's handsome profile and said helplessly, "You still can't feel how much I care about you."

For Lin Jin, who lives a pampered life, going to the supermarket is a waste of time and energy, especially when her ankle is seriously injured.

She didn't need to worry about daily trivialities; with just a flick of her finger, someone would take care of everything perfectly.

She disliked crowded shopping malls and the hassle of choosing between various shelves. It was Cheng Sangluo who made the noise around her interesting, and it was also Cheng Sangluo who extinguished her expectations.

"I was just speaking my mind, I didn't say we shouldn't live together." Cheng Sangluo spoke the truth, but fortunately her tone wasn't harsh; it sounded more like she was showing weakness after making a mistake.

She thought about it and realized that she had indeed spoiled the mood first, so she said softly, "Don't be angry. I'll treat you to an ice cream cone."

Lin Jin pinched the puppy's nose and pretended to be angry, saying, "Who cares about your crappy ice cream cone with the second one half price?"

Cheng Sangluo slightly hunched her neck, as if this posture would make it easier for the crazy woman to pinch her.

Her bright eyes glanced upwards, her face radiating complete concession and doting affection.

This was probably the first time she had shown weakness in front of Lin Jin. She looked like a helpless puppy who had made a mistake, almost like a whimpering monster begging for pity.

Lin Jin couldn't stand the puppy pretending to be innocent. Despite being stubborn and headstrong, it could easily soften her emotions with a little trickery.

“In my eyes, you’re definitely not a kind person, but…” Cheng Sangluo stammered awkwardly for a long time before finally continuing, “But I also know… you’re very good to me… at least half good and half bad…”

Lin Jin sneered: "Heh, should I praise you for being able to say nice things now, or should I praise you for finally not being completely blind and being able to see some of my good points?"

"Tell me what you want me to do to make you calm down?" Cheng Sangluo was bad at coaxing people and didn't know how to say anything to please them. All she could think of was to work like a slave to make amends.

This sudden concession was like a windfall. Lin Jin looked extremely surprised and quickly thought of a way to appease the puppy. She couldn't help but smile slyly: "So, does that mean you'll do whatever I tell you to do?"

"As long as you don't kill or set fires, I'll agree to anything." Cheng Sangluo revealed her bottom line, then felt something was missing, and quickly added, "And...and don't keep asking me to do anything..."

"What is that thing?" Lin Jin suddenly felt like teasing the dog, but then thought it was better not to provoke her, so she simply pointed in the direction of the supermarket, "I want to sit in the shopping cart."

"What the heck?" Cheng Sangluo exclaimed, then scratched the back of her head and muttered, "Miss, how old are you this year?"

"33, what's wrong?" Lin Jin mimicked how the puppy used to whine for an ice cream cone. "There's no law that says adults can't sit, right? Are you really going to let me keep dragging my injured leg around?"

"You're 33, not 3. Can that stroller even fit you?" Cheng Sangluo muttered, finally stammering, "Um...no...no...it can't..."

......

Cheng Sangluo carried Lin Jin all the way to the supermarket.

Once she properly arrived at the shopping cart parking area, she quickly became a hypocrite, rummaging through a row of shopping carts and meticulously selecting the sturdiest one.

Lin Jin was getting impatient, so he simply picked a car at random and sat down without any hesitation.

She crossed her slender, white legs, her toes swinging leisurely, and gave the puppy's bottom a light kick. "Little Sangzi, put on a pose."

"Tch." Cheng Sangluo glared at her resentfully. "What kind of performance is this, this 'Consort Xi returning to the palace'?"

As she walked toward the handrail of the stroller, she glanced at the exposed leg and found it an eyesore.

She quickly pulled up her skirt to cover her fair legs, saying, "Wearing this and sitting in a stroller, aren't you afraid of exposing yourself!"

Lin Jin leaned back lazily, laughing at the puppy's conservative nature, and then at her obvious and subtle concern. She deliberately lifted a corner of her skirt, teasingly saying, "I have a great figure, just showing it off~"

"Oh dear, what's there to show off!" Cheng Sangluo immediately tucked the skirt back in tightly and whispered as she pushed the cart, "Don't move around, let's go."

As she navigated the narrow aisles between the shelves, she pushed the shopping cart carefully, afraid of jostling the crazy woman, causing her arm muscles to tense slightly.

Lin Jin leaned comfortably against the stroller, her fair legs dangling playfully in the air. The stroller moved slowly, but a breeze stirred her ears, causing her hair to flutter naturally.

She could sense the careful and attentive care, so she smiled and looked up, unable to resist reaching out to scratch Cheng Sangluo's chin, as if teasing a puppy, "Fun~"

Cheng Sangluo pursed her lips and swatted away the restless hand in disgust, but the hand came harassingly again, just like an annoying mosquito.

"Can't you behave yourself?" The puppy, unable to bear it any longer, slammed on the brakes and leaned down to criticize, "You're seriously affecting my driving and posing a safety hazard!"

"How dangerous?" Lin Jin said dismissively, taking the opportunity to put her arms around the dog's outstretched neck and pull it down forcefully. "Since you're so worried about my safety, of course I'll make you worry all the time~"

As she spoke, she nuzzled the puppy's face with the tip of her nose, leaving it flushed a deep, hot blush.

The tingling sensation swept not only across Cheng Sangluo's face, but also through her entire body, bringing an unbearable itch.

Unable to shake off the increasingly tight arms around her neck, she could only look around nervously, thankful that there was no one else in the appliance section she passed.

The puppy, feeling guilty, said, "Stop fooling around, we're in a public place!"

The crazy woman acted shamelessly: "I don't care what public place it is, I just want to hug you, and you can't refuse."

The puppy was speechless, defeated again.

Suddenly, she felt a desire for revenge. She first pretended to compromise and moved her face slightly closer. Just as the madwoman was satisfied and released her arm, about to reach out and pinch her cheek, she kicked the cart away.

Cheng Sangluo had great leg strength, and the people in the cart were very light, so the shopping cart glided along with its inertia.

Lin Jin grabbed the edge in a daze, watching helplessly as they grew apart. A deep resentment instantly surfaced in her eyes: "You bullied me."

Cheng Sangluo originally had her hands in her pockets, wanting to make fun of the crazy woman, but that pitiful "bullying me" seemed to be bewitched, making her take a step as if possessed.

She grabbed the handrail of the stroller and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, but her mouth remained stubborn: "This is not bullying, it's revenge."

"Hmph, petty." Lin Jin scolded playfully but wasn't angry. She rested one hand on her temple and said with a playful tone, "I'm magnanimous, I forgive you."

It was probably because of her sudden, childish idea that this ordinary shopping trip turned into a fun and entertaining activity.

Cheng Sangluo felt an unprecedented sense of ease, tacitly hiding the warmth of everyday life in her faint smile.

Lin Jin took the puppy's service for granted, ignoring the strange looks from those around her, which she dismissed as mere envy.

Occasionally, she would deliberately make a few "ouch" sounds when turning too sharply, and Cheng Sangluo would immediately slow down, earning a triumphant chuckle in return, her face filled with a silent indulgence disguised by her resentment.

Lin Jin, like a ship's commander, pointed her slender finger forward: "Turn right ahead, go to the daily necessities section first, and find an Oral-B electric toothbrush."

"Alright." Cheng Sangluo really did become Little Sangzi, answering in a very proper manner.

While searching for her favorite brand among the dazzling array of toothbrushes, she glanced at the price tags and couldn't help but complain, "These imported brands are ridiculously expensive. I might as well just buy a toothbrush that costs a few dollars; that's good enough."

"Stop nagging." Lin Jin poked the back of her hand pushing the cart with her finger, urging, "This is the model I'm using, so just grab it when I tell you to."

Cheng Sangluo pouted and, mimicking the arrogant demeanor of the crazy woman, reluctantly tossed the electric toothbrush into the cart.

Lin Jin, with a toothbrush in her hand, swayed on her tiptoes with a faint joy, then looked up and smiled at the puppy.

Did you know? When I have a companion for my toothbrush, I start to look forward to each morning.

After selecting a bunch of daily necessities, Lin Jin beckoned with her finger, "Little Sangzi, do you want some snacks? I'll feed you!"

Cheng Sangluo curled her lip and said disdainfully, "I'm not a child, I'm not that greedy."

"When I saw you licking your ice cream, you were even more greedy than a child. Who was it that was rummaging through the snacks at the convenience store just now?" Lin Jin mocked, then started directing again: "Go to the snack section. Haven't you eaten? You're pushing it so slowly."

"..." Cheng Sangluo was fed up with this mean and unreasonable crazy woman, and too lazy to argue, so she silently grinned at the back of her head.

Walking into the snack section, she subconsciously looked for cheap spicy snacks.

Lin Jin followed her gaze and looked at it with disdain: "You can eat this kind of plastic stuff?"

"What do you know? This is a childhood memory." Cheng Sangluo grabbed a bag of spicy strips and threw it into the car. The next second, she threw the spicy strips back into the shelf.

Lin Jin looked up and glared at the puppy. "You're not allowed to eat it."

Cheng Sangluo puffed out her cheeks in anger, "You're really something! What's wrong with me eating a bag of spicy strips!"

"You have no right to argue. I said you can't eat it, and that means you can't eat it." Lin Jin's attitude was firm, and she refused to reveal the concern buried deep in her heart, so she didn't say the words "it's bad for your health."

After the puppy pushed her a distance, she suddenly patted the edge of the car and said, "Wait a minute, let's go back."

Cheng Sangluo was unusually patient and obediently returned the way she came.

Lin Jin pointed to the high shelf where a row of exquisitely packaged imported pork jerky was displayed. "Take a few packs of those; they look barely edible."

Cheng Sangluo reached out and grabbed the pork jerky, then noticed that the packaging said it was extra spicy. She was stunned, probably realizing the crazy woman's intention.

She put the extra-spicy jerky back in its place and replaced it with a sweet honey flavor, saying, "Hey, you can eat this one too."

This time, Lin Jin was stunned. A gentle light appeared in her dark eyes, and her silent concern was answered at this moment.

On a whim, she pointed to the shrimp chips not far away and said, "I want to eat that."

Cheng Sangluo pushed her to the front of the display case, not knowing which one she wanted, so she could only point to each one and ask, "This one?"

"no."

"This one?" (Honest little dog.jpg)

"No." (The crazy woman deliberately shakes her head.jpg)

"Tsk, which one is it?" (Impatient puppy.jpg)

Lin Jin laughed and pointed to the shrimp chips that were closest to her but placed on the top shelf, "That one!"

"I seriously suspect you're kidding me." Cheng Sangluo was furious and reached out to grab the shrimp chips from the high shelf.

Lin Jin finally revealed his true colors, taking the opportunity to lean forward and quickly pinch the puppy's side waist, which was tense from the force.

Cheng Sangluo shuddered in fright, quickly protecting her waist, and glared fiercely at the crazy woman: "I knew your head was full of indecent things!"

Lin Jin smiled like a cat that had just gotten away with stealing a treat, her voice sweet and seductive: "Your little puppy's waist feels so good~"

"Ouch!" Cheng Sangluo was most afraid of crazy women suddenly having a fit, so she quickly grabbed two bags of shrimp chips and slapped them on her head. "Aren't you annoying?"

Lin Jin didn't dislike this snack attack at all, laughing heartily, "Ha, you're blushing~"

Cheng Sangluo raised the back of her hand and pressed it against her face. The burning sensation was like a wildfire spreading. She coughed twice, but it did not relieve the embarrassment caused by her shyness.

He was always so easily swayed by that wicked woman, and even though every interaction was a deeply moving performance, he couldn't resist the occasional flutter in his heart.

Lin Jin's arms were piled high with the things she had bought for the puppy that day. Perhaps she was tired from playing, because a deep sense of fatigue appeared on her face.

She reached out and tugged at Cheng Sangluo, then lazily rested her head against his strong waist and closed her eyes for a nap.

Cheng Sangluo was conflicted, trying to show that even if you get close to me, I will still maintain an insurmountable distance from you.

When her raised palm hesitated briefly before gently stroking Lin Jin's head, it signified that her attempt to distance herself had failed.

Lin Jin smiled contentedly, looking forward to a long and steady relationship in the future, and couldn't help but rest her head on those rough hands.

"Sangluo, let's go home, let's go back to our home."

Perhaps what she wanted to say was—Cheng Sangluo, you have a home, a brand new and comfortable home, so you should look forward to it.

......

The air in the mall's parking garage is not well ventilated, making people feel stuffy and stuffy, and it also has an unpleasant smell like that of a fresh food supermarket.

Cheng Sangluo stood at the supermarket exit, carrying two bulging shopping bags, looking troubled: "Where did Sheng He park his car again?"

"I'll show you the way!" Lin Jin said playfully, spreading her arms wide and commanding, "Carry me on your back, right now!"

The puppy bristled: "My God! I only have two hands, and I have to carry so many things, how am I supposed to have room to carry you?"

"I don't care, this is an order from the creditor." Lin Jin started acting like a brat again, grabbing the puppy's back and trying to climb up, not caring about whether it was inappropriate to be wearing a skirt or whether her feet were injured.

"Oh dear, oh dear—" Cheng Sangluo exclaimed, and had no choice but to put the two bags together and reach out her free hand to support the crazy woman's waist. "I'll carry her, I'll carry her, okay? Just be gentle, don't hurt her foot!"

"That's more like it~" Lin Jin raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, wrapped her arms tightly around the dog's neck, and rubbed her face against the dog's ear with delight. "You better hold on tight, or you'll be in big trouble if you drop me."

Cheng Sangluo tried to adjust her posture, with her arms behind her back, two large bags hanging from her wrists, and a mischievous koala hanging around her neck.

She deliberately slowed her pace, walking very steadily, looking utterly miserable. "I must have carried your fate in my past life, otherwise I wouldn't be so unlucky in this life!"

"Maybe you owed me a debt of love in your past life, and you're making up for it in this reincarnation," Lin Jin joked, rubbing the puppy's head and then its ears, suddenly exclaiming, "My puppy smells so good!"

Cheng Sangluo was already used to the crazy woman's bad habit of always trying to get close to people, and asked in confusion, "I didn't wear perfume, so where did the fragrance come from?"

As they talked about their scents, she subconsciously took a deep breath, trying to catch the scent of Lin Jin's cedarwood in the unpleasant air, and said candidly, "But the perfume you're wearing smells quite nice."

"Oh~ so you like my scent~" Lin Jin was burying her head in the dog's nape, sniffing the scruff of its neck. Hearing the compliment, she immediately placed her wrist against the dog's nose. "If you like it, smell it some more~"

"Ugh—" Cheng Sangluo's nose was covered. She wanted to get rid of this sudden harassment, but the familiar scent always brought a strong sense of comfort, making her unconsciously sniff it.

Lin Jin felt the warm, moist breath on her wrist and asked with a smile, "Do you know what physiological attraction is?"

Cheng Sangluo regained some of her composure and said disdainfully, "I don't know any of this nonsense."

Lin Jin pressed her lips to the puppy's ear, a kiss that was neither a bite nor a kiss, but rather her pearly teeth gently grinding against the ear cartilage, explaining, "I can't help but want to smell you, to bite you, to be close to you all the time, that's called physiological attraction."

The soft, sticky breath, accompanied by a tingling sensation on the tip of her ear, slipped into Cheng Sangluo's ear before she knew it, raising goosebumps all over her body.

Before she could interrupt the madwoman's ramblings, another series of tender kisses landed on her ear.

"Lin Jin".

In the empty parking garage, Cheng Sangluo's hoarse low call suddenly rang out. It was probably the last bit of rationality she had picked up, her heart screaming that she must not sink deeper into the quagmire.

Lin Jin stopped her playful kisses, rested her head on the puppy's broad shoulder, and lazily replied, "Hmm?"

"Stop fooling around."

Lin Jin reached under the puppy's collar, pressing it against its chest to check its heartbeat, before smiling tremulously, "You're nervous."

Cheng Sangluo forced herself to remain calm and said coldly, "Composure is always more respectable than frivolity. What you're doing will only make me more disgusted."

This is so awkward and strange; it's really hypocritical!

Lin Jin couldn't see the puppy's expression hidden in the shadows, assuming it was just feigned calmness due to nervousness, and teased, "But being frivolous will get me closer to you faster~"

Cheng Sangluo didn't know which word in those words touched her heart, so she bit her lower lip and stopped talking.

The atmosphere finally fell into a long silence.

Cheng Sangluo carried Lin Jin all the way to the Bentley.

Sheng He, who had been waiting, hurriedly got out of the driver's seat and saw his boss being carried on Cheng Sangluo's back. A faint smile appeared on his face.

The warmth between these two is a rare sight.

Before he could ask any questions, Lin Jin had already landed steadily and instructed, "Sheng He, give her the car keys. You're off work."

"Huh?" Cheng Sangluo was busy loading shopping bags into the trunk when she heard this arrangement and poked her head out halfway: "What does this mean?"

Lin Jin walked straight to the passenger door and said firmly, "You'll be my driver."

Cheng Sangluo closed the trunk and walked to the car door, where Sheng He happened to hand her the car keys.

As Lin Jin got into the car, he whispered a message: "Miss Cheng, the boss is a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If there are any arguments, please bear with him."

"You seem to care quite a bit about your boss," Cheng Sangluo teased, taking the car keys and saying with a helpless self-deprecating laugh, "Don't worry, you know perfectly well that I'm the one who gets bullied by her."

After watching Sheng He leave, she quickly got into the driver's seat.

Before he could even sit up straight, the haughty woman next to him crossed her arms and gave a series of light coughs, a hint of warning, "Ahem—"

"What's wrong?" Cheng Sangluo turned her head, looking puzzled. "Is your throat sore?"

Lin Jin raised an eyebrow, glancing down at her chest. "Don't you think it's strange that my chest feels so empty?"

"Tch!" Cheng Sangluo stared at the proudly displayed voluptuous figure and said angrily, "Fasten your own seatbelt! Do I have to do that for you?!"

"Your service attitude is terrible. You expect to pay off your debt with your service? I'm being generous by not deducting money from your pay."

When the crazy woman acts up, the little dog is helpless against her. Even knowing there's a trap, it still has to get close and feel for the seatbelt that's deliberately hidden behind her.

Lin Jin turned her head to admire the grumbling puppy, and taking advantage of her momentary inattention, quickly hugged her head and pressed it against the soft, plump flesh.

"Ugh—ugh—" Cheng Sangluo was forced to bury her head, flailing her arms wildly before finally managing to press herself firmly against the car window.

She struggled to lift her head, meeting those dark eyes that held a hint of amusement. Her intense anger subsided somewhat, replaced by helplessness. "You..."

'Pop~'

Before Cheng Sangluo could even formulate a retort, a crisp kiss landed on her forehead.

Lin Jin cupped the puppy's face and kissed it deeply until a complete red lip print was left on its forehead before reluctantly letting it go.

Cheng Sangluo seemed to have been sucked out of her soul by the madwoman; she even forgot her disgusted gesture of wiping her forehead and sat up straight in a daze.

Strange, this kiss made her act so strangely.
