"No, it's not necessary..."
Jiang Cheng stiffened and took a few steps back, his face filled with embarrassment.
The fork extended towards him not only had soft cake on it, but also... a few drops of Zhao Xuerou's glistening saliva.
Faced with such a pink-themed scene, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to utter a sound.
He dared not show too much disgust, but he also dared not respond at all. He could only bite the bullet and pretend he hadn't seen it, then got up to go to the kitchen: "Oh, I remember I bought some drinks, I'll go get them..."
But Zhao Xuerou didn't give him a chance to get up. The moment Jiang Cheng raised his head to move, she wrapped her arms around his neck again, laughing and coquettishly saying, "What are you doing? Don't you want to be around me? I'm not a ghost, do you think I'd eat you?"
"No, uh, that's not what I meant."
Jiang Cheng was extremely embarrassed, and his face looked very unpleasant.
Not only did Jiang Cheng not know how to respond to Zhao Xuerou's sweet tone, but he was also afraid of causing even more serious consequences.
Even if everything before him was fake, he absolutely could not do anything out of line.
At this critical moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly sat up straight and pushed Zhao Xuerou aside with a strange expression.
"What are you doing!" Zhao Xuerou reached out in dissatisfaction, wanting to continue her intimate contact with him.
Whether it was the alcohol or not, Zhao Xuerou's face was flushed, and she was surprisingly strong, grabbing Jiang Cheng and refusing to let go. It was clear she really wanted to be close to him.
This naturally made Jiang Cheng even more panicked.
However, he didn't show any obvious nervousness. He just cleared his throat and put on an embarrassed look: "I just need to go to the bathroom. Wait a moment, my stomach hurts!"
As he spoke, he ran straight towards the bathroom, completely ignoring Zhao Xuerou's expression.
Although Jiang Cheng's acting was somewhat clumsy, seeing how anxious he was, Zhao Xuerou couldn't say much and could only lower her head helplessly.
The disappointment in his eyes deepened, slowly filling with concealment.
In the end, she didn't say anything, but just hugged her shoulders and curled her body into a ball as much as possible.
It's a bit uncomfortable...
On the other side...
Jiang Cheng rushed into the bathroom and locked the door behind him, looking at his slightly haggard reflection in the mirror with great concern.
What kind of mess is this...?
Do I really have to make him make a mistake?!
Fearing that Zhao Xuerou outside might suspect he was just hiding in the bathroom, Jiang Cheng turned on the tap. With the sound of running water, he seemed to finally relax.
My mind is in a mess, and I don't know what to do right now.
Jiang Cheng simply scooped up a handful of water and casually splashed it on his face, hoping it would sober him up a bit.
Indeed, after being cleansed by several handfuls of water, Jiang Cheng's chaotic mind finally cooled down.
He roughly knew what Zhao Xuerou wanted to do.
After leaving the bathroom, Jiang Cheng's expression remained largely unchanged. He gently patted his lower abdomen and said somewhat exaggeratedly, "Ah...that feels so good. I'm so glad I took care of it. I almost couldn't hold back just now."
"Ha ha……"
Zhao Xuerou's smile wasn't particularly bright, and there was still a hint of resentment in her eyes when she looked up at Jiang Cheng. However, she had already hidden her initial disappointment very well.
She's always been like this.
In the dream world, Zhao Xuerou was incredibly sensible in front of Jiang Cheng, a model of a "virtuous wife and loving mother." She never showed any negative emotions; even when she was extremely heartbroken, she would simply bury herself under the covers and cry secretly. She didn't even need Jiang Cheng's comfort; after crying, Zhao Xuerou could bury everything and pretend that nothing had happened.
Get some sleep, and the next day will be a brand new day.
However, this Zhao Xuerou brought considerable psychological pressure to Jiangcheng at this time.
He didn't know what to do, so he could only grit his teeth and try to avoid it as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng felt another headache coming on.
Seeing that most of the food on the table had already been eaten, he stood up and said, "Alright, I think we've almost finished dinner. Shall we call it a day?"
"OK."
After being interrupted twice, Zhao Xuerou's anger had mostly dissipated. She sighed helplessly and habitually got up to tidy up everything on the table.
Seeing her working so hard without complaint, Jiang Cheng felt a pang of guilt. Coupled with his own thoughts, he got up with ulterior motives and took the initiative to tidy up the empty plates in front of him: "Wait, I'll clean up these today."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng took the two plates that Zhao Xuerou, who had been tidying up, from her hands, which had a strange expression on her face.
"you……"
Zhao Xuerou seemed taken aback by Jiang Cheng's diligence, staring at him helplessly and asking, "Why are you doing this today...?"
Before Zhao Xuerou could finish her question, Jiang Cheng interrupted her directly: "Go and rest. I just saw that you've been working hard all day. Not only did you work overtime, but you also started cooking when you got home and haven't stopped since. You must be very tired."
As he spoke, he pointed to the bathroom he had just used and continued, "Yes, I heated up some water for a bath while I was taking care of my business in the bathroom. If you go now, you can probably use the first pot of hot water. Go take a shower first, I need to take a shower later too. I've been out all day, I must be all dirty."
