This face-to-face position made Su Xiao extremely awkward. She twisted her body, trying to get down, but Shang Ziming held her waist tightly, making her struggle in vain.
"What are you doing?" Su Xiao asked, her face flushed red, looking incredibly charming.
Shang Ziming didn't care about her punches at all. After all, how much pain could her hollow fists hurt? He was so excited that he couldn't feel anything else.
"Little one, are you tired?"
Su Xiao couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was he answering a different question, or was he talking about something else entirely?
"I'm not tired. What do you want to do?" Su Xiao replied casually.
“I’m not tired, I think…” Shang Ziming stared intently at her red lips, then suddenly raised a hand and pressed down on the back of her head.
"Ah!" Su Xiao's body went out of control, and she was about to fall on top of him, so she quickly used her hands to support herself on the sofa behind him.
They stopped at the last second, barely managing to stay afloat. The two were only five centimeters apart, almost face to face.
Before she could react further, Shang Ziming had already tilted his head back and kissed her.
If the mountain won't come to me, then I'll come to the mountain. It's that direct and simple.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xiao's body had long since gone limp, and she leaned weakly against him.
Shang Ziming held her tightly, panting, and couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't know whether he was enjoying it or making things difficult for himself; he was stuck in this awkward position.
Su Xiao had given up resisting and had actually enjoyed it. As for the concern about accidentally going too far, seeing his performance, she was no longer worried at all.
Seeing him panting heavily, I couldn't help but laugh with schadenfreude.
Shang Ziming gritted his teeth, "You're still laughing? Who's to blame?"
Su Xiao retorted innocently, "Don't believe my foul mouth. Who provoked whom?"
Shang Ziming was defeated, sighed helplessly, and admitted, "It was me."
"Hmph..." Su Xiaojiao snorted, seeing that his forehead was covered in sweat, she couldn't help but be sarcastic, "He brought it on himself."
Shang Zimu released her.
Su Xiao was relieved, but this time she wasn't in a hurry to leave. She suddenly found that sitting on a human cushion was quite comfortable, so she continued to lie in his arms and close her eyes to rest.
The two of them sat there quietly.
Then, Su Xiao drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Shang Ziming looked at her profile and smiled wryly. This little devil is so troublesome.
Then, he closed his eyes.
Su Xiaoshu had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in bed, but Shang Ziming was not there.
I glanced at my wrist; it was six o'clock in the evening, the perfect time for dinner. Without hesitation, I got up.
To be honest, my stomach was growling loudly.
"woke up?"
She had just stepped out of her room when she heard voices coming from the living room. Looking closely, she saw it was indeed him. She complained playfully, "You startled me."
Shang Ziming smiled and said, "I've already ordered the food. Shall we go down now?"
"Wait a minute, I'm going to wash my face." When it came to eating, Su Xiao didn't dawdle and quickly went to the bathroom to wash up.
After waiting for a short while, Su Xiao came out and said, "Let's go."
When the two arrived at the restaurant downstairs, they saw Fang Minghao sitting there waiting.
Seeing them approaching out of the corner of his eye, Fang Minghao put down his newspaper and waved to the waiter beside him, "This way, you can serve the food now."
"Brother Hao." Su Xiao came over and greeted him with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao, please sit down." Fang Minghao pulled out a chair for her, showing her warmth and attentiveness.
Turning to Shang Ziming, she complained, "Why are you so late? You're not even enthusiastic about eating."
Shang Zimu ignored him completely, and sat down next to Su Xiao, pouring her some water. "Have a sip of water to soothe your throat first."
"Okay, thank you." Su Xiao obediently accepted it; she had just woken up, and her throat was indeed dry.
Since we had ordered the food in advance, the dishes were served one after another in no time.
"This sweet and sour carp is delicious, have some more." Shang Ziming pushed a plate of fish meat, with the bones removed, in front of Su Xiao.
Su Xiao smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling, and unceremoniously picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, delicious."
It was indeed delicious; as expected of a grand hotel in Shanghai, the chef's skills were superb.
"By the way, where's Brother Jiulang?" Su Xiao asked while eating. "I haven't seen him much these past few days."
"Him..." Fang Minghao grinned slyly, "He's off meeting a beautiful woman, isn't he?"
"A beauty?" Su Xiao paused, her interest piqued, and asked gossipy, "Does Brother Jiulang have a girlfriend?"
"I don't know if he's interested yet, but he's been leaving early and coming home late these past few days. Judging from the smug look on his face when he comes back, there should be something going on." Fang Minghao thought of Cheng Jiulang's behavior these past few days with a hint of sarcasm.
"Is he from Shanghai? Do we know each other? He's looking for a partner here, but he's going back tomorrow. If he succeeds, won't that be a long-distance relationship? Will the girl's parents agree?" Su Xiao asked a whole string of questions, thinking about the transportation in this era, and was quite worried about Cheng Jiulang's relationship.
"You know this person? She's Tian Shuang, the one who had dinner with us last time," Fang Minghao dropped a bombshell.
"What?" Su Xiao was indeed shocked.
"Surprised?" Fang Minghao laughed. "I don't know when this kid developed feelings for her. I heard they knew each other in the Northwest."
"I know that." Su Xiao recalled the scene at the hospital. Every time Cheng Jiulang came to see Su Qiang and Shang Ziming, he never saw them talk or have any unusual expressions.
"You know?" Fang Minghao didn't know, and immediately became interested. He moved closer to Su Xiao to find out what was going on. "Tell me, tell me, how did they meet? I pressed that kid for answers, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word more than necessary."
Su Xiao shared what she knew with Fang Minghao, but there was nothing special about it; she hadn't discovered anything.
"Brother Hao, has Brother Jiulang admitted to liking Tian Shuang?" Su Xiao was really curious. It was a pity that they had to leave early the next morning. She really wanted to go to Tian Shuang to ask about the situation.
"Hehe, if you don't like it, you can wait for people to get off work every day." Fang Minghao said confidently.
Su Xiao thought about it and realized it made sense; why would someone chase after someone they didn't like?
If these two get together, well, they'd be quite a good match.
I just don't know if my uncle will agree.
"By the way, where is Jiulang from? Who's in his family?"
"His ancestral home is Shandong." Fang Minghao knew this. Thinking of Cheng Jiulang's background, his expression became much more serious. "His parents were both martyrs. There probably aren't many people left in his hometown."
orphan……
Su Xiao felt that the fish in her mouth no longer tasted very good.
That concludes the discussion.
Su Xiao hoped the two of them would get together. They were both people she knew, and their character was impeccable. She hoped they could be happy.
At this moment, Cheng Jiulang and Tian Shuang were on their way home. They had just finished dinner, and Cheng Jiulang was taking Tian Shuang home.
However, he was rather quiet today.
Tian Shuang noticed that he seemed to be in a bad mood and looked at him with some concern several times.
