Pei Xi was taken aback by the seriousness in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
She paused for a second, then rested her chin on her palm and said, "Of course, when you have money in the future, you can first give me a big house, and then decorate it into my favorite princess room, inside and out, according to my wishes, how about that?"
Jiang Cheng suddenly smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"Make yourself look whatever you like, and whatever color you like."
Pei Xi echoed his earlier words, saying, "Then it's a deal, no take-backs allowed."
Jiang Cheng said, "Definitely."
What sounded like a joke to anyone else was delivered with utmost seriousness by both of them.
Because Pei Xi knew that every word Jiang Cheng uttered was counted.
He never makes empty promises.
“Then I have a feeling that day is not far off. It seems I need to start looking at the renovation manual now,” Pei Xi said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng smiled silently, his gaze full of tenderness as he looked at her.
The restaurant served food very efficiently, with all the dishes arriving one after another, and the taste was worth the price; they were all quite good.
No wonder Jiang Shuyu recommended this place.
Not only is the environment great, but the food is also delicious. Apart from being a bit pricey, it has no downsides.
When we were almost finished eating, a couple of girls came to the empty table next to us. After ordering, they sat down together and took photos, happily snapping pictures for a while.
Pei Xi caught a glimpse of them, a sudden thought struck her, and her gaze abruptly stopped.
She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and looked at Jiang Cheng, saying, "Oh, right, I just remembered something."
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
Pei Xi frowned and asked with a serious expression, "Do I have something with you?"
Jiang Cheng was taken aback.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
"...What?"
"What do you think?" Pei Xi asked casually.
Jiang Cheng remained silent.
But he gripped the chopsticks in his hand tighter and tighter.
"You forgot?" Pei Xi asked again.
Jiang Cheng's back muscles were tense.
After a while, he relaxed his shoulders and spoke as if in resignation: "How could you..."
Pei Xi suddenly interrupted him: "A Polaroid photo, you haven't really forgotten, have you?"
Jiang Cheng was momentarily stunned.
His stiff back muscles relaxed a little, and then he asked softly, "...You know?"
Pei Xi nodded, "Miaomiao got into a university in Yi City. When I went to see her off, I also stopped by that escape room shop."
Then she gave him a sly smile, "Didn't expect to be caught, did you?"
Jiang Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he blinked helplessly.
He really hadn't expected it.
He thought she would never find out.
Jiang Cheng suddenly fell silent, as if he had been caught committing some shady crime, and his ears burned.
Pei Xi wrinkled her nose and pretended to be annoyed, saying, "Shouldn't the photos belong to us all? How come you took them all by yourself? That's not fair."
Jiang Cheng remained silent.
Seeing his guilty expression, Pei Xi suppressed a smile, her eyes darting around, and said to him, "Then you have to make it up to me."
"...What will I compensate you for?" Jiang Cheng finally asked.
Pei Xi rested her elbows on the table, cupped her face in her hands, and suddenly laughed, "Since you took one, you have to take another one with me."
Jiang Cheng was taken aback, then immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Pei Xi shifted his position and patted the seat next to him. "Then come sit here."
Jiang Cheng got up and obediently sat down.
Pei Xi picked up his phone, turned on the front camera, held the phone up, and looked at the two people framed on the screen.
Jiang Cheng sat there steadily, like a serious student. He was such a handsome guy, but for some reason, he looked particularly dull.
Pei Xi smiled helplessly, "Why can't you smile? Come closer to me..."
She turned to look at him, but before she could finish speaking, Jiang Cheng suddenly leaned his head close to hers.
In a sudden, unexpected moment, Pei Xi felt a warm touch brush against his lips.
It was Jiang Cheng's cheek.
The touch felt like an electric current passing through their skin. For a moment, both of them froze, breathing side by side, staring at each other in silence.
After a few seconds, Pei Xi blinked her long eyelashes and said innocently, "Hmm, I think I kissed her."
Jiang Cheng: "".
She blinked again and asked him, "Is this also part of the compensation?"
Jiang Cheng: "..."
