Su Xiao was unaware of the impact her words had on Tian Zhibing today; even if she had known, she would have simply applauded.
Young people should do what they think of. Life is a long journey, so don't be afraid of falling down. The road ahead is bright.
When Shang Ziming returned home that evening, Su Xiao told him everything that had happened that day, and concluded with a sigh, "My mother often talked about the Tian family when she was alive, and now we've finally fulfilled her wish."
Shang Ziming handed her the peeled orange, which Su Xiao accepted without hesitation. "Thank you."
While tidying up the fruit peels on the coffee table, Shang Ziming said, "If there's anything I can do, just let me know. I can finish this in a couple more days."
"Really? You're going home as soon as you're done? That's perfect, you can go home for the New Year." She's been away for so long, she misses home and her family and friends.
"Okay, let's go home." Shang Ziming watched Su Xiao sit down, then reached out and took one of Su Xiao's hands, playing with it in his own palm.
Their fingers intertwined, a tingling, electric current coursing through his body, making him crave more. He secretly planned to start preparing for the wedding as soon as they returned to Kyoto; he couldn't wait any longer.
With one hand occupied by him, Su Xiao used the other to eat an orange. The orange was sweet and sour. "This orange is good, come on, ah..."
Su Xiao took a petal and held it to his lips.
Shang Ziming opened his mouth in response, and Su Xiao smiled as she fed him.
Shang Ziming took a bite, capturing her small hand that was trying to pull away. His tongue flicked across her fingers, leaving a warm, smooth sensation.
Su Xiao blushed and quickly withdrew her hand, her face still red, and said with a hint of disgust, "Do you even know how to eat? Humph..."
Since there were no napkins available, Su Xiao stood up and went to the restroom.
Shang Ziming watched the figure gracefully disappear into the distance, filled with regret. Oh dear, what a loss! He had at least had one hand to play with.
Su Xiao took a sanitary napkin, turned on the tap, and quickly started washing it.
It wasn't that she disliked his saliva; she found his flirting with her boyfriend quite novel.
For a brief moment, her heart raced, pounding wildly.
Su Xiao touched her flushed face and found it was a little hot, so she quickly splashed some water on herself to clear her head.
"Little one".
Shang Ziming's voice came from the doorway. Su Xiao hurriedly wiped her face dry and said, "Coming."
After tidying herself up, she walked out as if nothing had happened.
Shang Ziming stood in the entryway. When he saw her come out, he immediately noticed that she looked different; her hair was slightly damp, and her ears were slightly red...
He couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips.
The little girl's attempt to cover up her true feelings had a unique charm.
Su Xiao noticed the intensity of his gaze and looked up to see his roguish grin. The deep, dark undercurrent in his eyes made her feel exposed, and her heart began to race. This emotion made her uneasy, and she couldn't help but speak sharply, "What are you laughing at?"
Seeing that she was about to jump up and down, Shang Ziming immediately adopted an innocent attitude and asked seriously, "Did I laugh?"
It was just a faint smile to begin with, and now it's gone.
"Hmph." Su Xiao pouted arrogantly, "I need to rest, you can go back."
Now it was Shang Ziming's turn to feel bad. He had only been there for a short while, and his miserable expression was no longer an act; it was a genuine expression of his feelings.
"Are you resting so early?"
Seeing his discomfiture, Su Xiao was delighted, "That's right."
Seeing her mischievous expression, Shang Ziming felt helpless yet indulgent. "Alright, I'm leaving. You get some rest."
"Bye-bye." Su Xiao waved to him without any hesitation.
"Aren't you going to see me off?" Shang Ziming pulled his leg back after taking a step forward, looking at her expectantly.
Seeing his truly pitiful expression, Su Xiao burst into laughter, feeling as if she had won a battle.
"Alright, I'll see you off." When she was in a better mood, she was quite easy to talk to.
She took a few quick steps and was already in front of him. Seeing that he still didn't move, she said in surprise, "Come on... ah..."
As Shang Ziming sensed her approach, he grabbed her slender waist and lifted her up in his arms.
With her feet off the ground, Su Xiao cried out in surprise and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
The two were face to face, less than ten centimeters apart.
When eyes meet, you see your own reflection in the other person's eyes.
Shang Ziming suddenly moved closer and lightly pecked her lips, reducing the distance from ten centimeters to only three centimeters.
Su Xiao's entire body tensed up, the hand around his neck tightened slightly, and her breathing became rapid due to her racing heartbeat.
"May I?"
My mind was already a complete mess when I suddenly heard this question, and I couldn't react at all.
Not hearing her reply, Shang Ziming quickly gave her another light peck. "If you don't answer, I'll take that as your agreement."
What do you mean by agreeing? Su Xiao didn't understand.
Suddenly, she was swept into the deep sea by a giant wave, where she sank and sank.
The kiss lasted for an unknown amount of time. By the time Su Xiao came to her senses, she had been put down and was leaning against the door, barely managing to stay upright.
The man had already left. She reached out and touched her slightly swollen red lips, savoring the memory, and couldn't help but secretly curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Having been single since birth for many years, this was the first time I'd ever experienced such a passionate kiss; it felt amazing.
"Today is a good day, oh a good day, I'm in a great mood..." Su Xiao sang happily.
Outside the door, the man leaning against it heard the sounds coming from inside. His smile grew even more satisfied, and his eyes were filled with deep affection.
"Brother Mu, what are you doing in front of the little gate? Why don't you go in?" Cheng Jiulang had just returned from outside and couldn't help but ask when he saw Shang Zimu.
Shang Ziming didn't answer his question, but stood up and asked in return, "Have they all been caught?"
"Huh? We caught him."
“Alright, let’s go.” With that, Shang Ziming took the lead and strode forward.
"Go? Where to?" Cheng Jiulang was completely baffled.
"Interrogation room." Shang Ziming was now in high spirits.
He was so excited and had nowhere to vent it.
"Huh? Now? It's already dark." Cheng Jiulang hurriedly caught up.
"Strike while the iron is hot." Shang Ziming interrogated them overnight, catching the interrogators off guard. They didn't have time to come up with a countermeasure, and the lies they made up on the spot were full of loopholes. Soon, the quick-witted Shang Ziming seized the key evidence, and the case was successfully solved.
"Brother Mu, that's amazing! Sure enough, it had to be him personally. His efficiency is unmatched." At dawn, Fang Minghao came over and found that the case had actually been closed. He learned that the suspect had been arrested and interrogated overnight, and he immediately became smug with joy.
"Alright, stop flattering me. Brother Mu said you need to finish up the mess quickly so he can go home for the New Year." Cheng Jiulang yawned as he recounted Shang Ziming's words from yesterday. "I'm going back to sleep now. Good luck."
With that, he slapped the documents on Fang Minghao, then turned and left with a flourish.
