Chapter 172: Sweet After Bitterness
Jiang Jiu stood beside Chi Li, feeling the gazes coming and going around her. She couldn't help but whisper in Chi Li's ear.
"No wonder your flower shop does so much business every day."
There was a hint of teasing in her tone. Chi Li raised his eyebrows and simply put his arm around Jiang Jiu's waist, bringing them closer together. This made Jiang Jiu a little flustered for a moment. She didn't expect Chi Li to suddenly do such an intimate gesture in front of others.
"If you go to the flower shop and stake your claim, maybe fewer people will come to buy flowers."
He leaned over and whispered in Jiang Jiu's ear, his breath was so ambiguous that it made Jiang Jiu's ears turn red.
"Don't try to take shortcuts. I haven't accepted you yet."
When she felt guilty, she would change the subject and let Sekirei focus on other things.
But Jiang Jiu still couldn't change his bad habit of talking nonsense, and couldn't help but add a sentence at the end.
"But that's not necessarily the case. Married men might be more popular."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Jiu felt the hand around her waist tighten. She turned around and met Chi Li's narrowed fox eyes, which seemed to contain some indescribable emotions. Jiang Jiu immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly passed over the topic.
"Ahem, we're almost at the hot pot restaurant, hurry up."
Jiang Jiu tried to speed up and let Chi Li let her go, but Chi Li had no intention of moving at all and even stopped, forcing Jiang Jiu to pause.
"Husband?"
Chi Li chewed on this word in his mouth, and Jiang Jiu felt more and more guilty. No matter what, Chi Li was not a husband. He was neither gentle nor virtuous. Although he looked non-aggressive at ordinary times, he was actually a carnivore at heart. When he opened his eyes, he was very threatening.
"No, no, no, you're not. You're not."
Jiang Jiu quickly denied this statement.
Unexpectedly, Chi Li didn't seem angry at all, and the smile in his eyes even deepened.
"So you've decided to marry me?"
Chi Li hugged the person closer, close to Jiang Jiu's face, and their breaths exchanged with each other, and Jiang Jiu's whole body became stiff.
The fox had lived in this era for too long, so naturally he began to understand the marriage system there.
But hearing him say this out of the blue, Jiang Jiu still felt a little strange, even scary.
“No, no, no…”
Jiang Jiu refused in a panic. She only had one ID card and could only get married with one person. If she really went with Chi Li today, the others would have a quarrel tomorrow. Although Jiang Jiu was still hesitant, they all came for her. Putting aside their feelings, Jiang Jiu could not do such a cruel thing.
What's more...she actually has feelings for both of them.
Every one.
Although it is shameless and even treasonous to say this, Jiang Jiu is indeed attracted to everyone.
They were so nice to her, even if she had a heart of stone, she would have reacted, not to mention that she was not.
Chi Li felt amused when he saw Jiang Jiu's panic. Of course, he was joking, but he didn't expect to scare the little thing like this. It seemed that his style of doing things really made the little thing feel not very trustworthy.
Chi Li discovered this very early on.
Perhaps because he tends to do things on a whim, Jiang Jiu is always on guard against his sudden whims.
But no matter what, he would not go against her wishes.
Chi Li finally put Jiang Jiu down, and Jiang Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them spent the whole day like an ordinary couple, shopping and eating, and finally returned home together when the sun set and dusk fell.
Jiangjiu stretched out in the sunset, like a kitten stretching its muscles just after waking up.
Chi Li felt itchy when he saw it.
The empty streets were already deserted. At this time, everyone had already gone home from get off work and were eating at home. Only they were still outside.
Jiang Jiu was walking forward, but for some reason his feet suddenly stopped and he was about to fall.
Chi Li quickly grabbed the girl's waist, and the moment he stood up, their eyes met.
For some unknown reason, Jiang Jiu suddenly felt that Chi Li, illuminated by the sunset glow, seemed many times more handsome than usual. Chi Li also looked at Jiang Jiu, who was illuminated by the warm orange light, and he seemed particularly attractive today.
The distance between the two of them grew closer and closer until they could feel each other's warmth.
Jiang Jiu heard Chi Li say.
"May I?"
His gaze moved down and landed on her lips. His wandering eyes seemed to explain something, hot and exciting.
Jiang Jiu was stunned and didn't say anything, but his face was flushed and he didn't refuse.
Chi Li is not a fool, so he naturally knows that this is okay.
The next second, their lips touched.
Jiang Jiu was pressed on the back of his head to deepen the kiss. In his field of vision were Chi Li's long and curly eyelashes, and his snow-white silver hair seemed to be telling something, as if Chi Li's hair was not this color before, and it turned white after the reunion.
She was a little distracted, letting the perception know.
The next second, Jiang Jiu felt a pain on her lip; she was bitten.
"Focus, little one."
The voice beside his ear was slightly panting, which made people blush and their heart beat faster. Jiang Jiu closed his eyes and finally immersed himself in this passionate love affair.
Jiang Jiu didn't know how much time had passed. She only knew that her lips were painful and swollen, and then Chi Li let her go.
Fresh air filled her lungs again, and Jiang Jiu couldn't help but gasp for breath.
Chi Li still looked at ease.
She grabbed Chi Li's hair with some dissatisfaction and pulled it down. Looking at the white hair in her hand, she couldn't help but asked.
"Is it because of me?"
In fact, Jiang Jiu had already had a vague idea of the answer before, but he just didn't dare to ask.
The two of them were so close today that Jiang Jiu finally mustered up the courage.
"What? Are you feeling bad?"
Chi Li raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of amusement, looking at the pain that flashed in Jiang Jiu's eyes, and teased him with some malice.
"Yeah, it hurts."
Jiang Jiu did not hide his feelings and gave the answer very straightforwardly.
This made Chi Li stiffen all over and he didn't know how to respond. For a cunning fox like him, he didn't know how to deal with such a direct shot.
"If you feel bad, just accept me."
After a while, Chi Li recovered and said jokingly.
Jiang Jiu raised her head and stared into Chi Li's eyes. In fact, she didn't know what she was delaying. Maybe it was because the timing was not right and she had not yet adapted to the new life. She seemed to be refusing all the time, even though they would not object and would even wait.
But her conscience would also be bothered.
Time passed by the two of them minute by minute. Although this was almost nothing for Jiang Jiu and Chi Li, these few minutes seemed particularly long for some reason, until he lowered his eyes and responded faintly.
"good."
Chi Li's eyes widened slightly, and his world suddenly lit up with dazzling light.
When spring comes, the dead tree welcomes a new life after all the hardships.
