Xu Man was stunned.
Before she realized the true meaning of the other party's question, her heart had already trembled violently, and her body took the first step to give the answer.
She shook her head, and her face seemed to have blood pooling and was slightly hot.
"……No."
In the dark night, the corners of Qin Shen's mouth seemed to rise: "Never?"
"……Um."
"It shouldn't be like that." She heard the person on the other side asking her this, with a faint smile in his low, hoarse and slow voice, "You are so beautiful, how come there are no boys pursuing you?"
"My family is very strict," she replied in a low voice, "They don't allow me to fall in love too early."
“Does the university also care?”
Her voice became softer and softer, and her cheeks became hotter and hotter: "Yeah."
"Including now?"
"Including..." Xu Man paused before realizing what the other party had asked. Her heart seemed to stop for a moment, and she looked up in surprise and disbelief.
Qin Shen also looked at her, his deep eyes were like a starry night with countless brilliant stars and a faint light.
He asked again: "Including now?"
“…”
Is this a dream, a fantasy, or reality?
Xu Man stood there in a daze, her thoughts completely confused. Her heart was beating fast, tightening the blood circulation in her body, disrupting everything and making it impossible for her thoughts to function normally.
Finally, she shook her head and murmured one word: "No..."
Qin Shen smiled slowly.
He took two steps forward, walked up to Xu Man, raised her chin with his hand, and asked, "Do you know what I wanted to say to you in the restaurant?"
Xu Man's slightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she raised her eyes, staring at him in surprise and confusion. Perhaps the blush of shyness caused by his action made her look particularly cute and lovely, making people want to love her in their hearts.
"say what?"
Qin Shen smiled and answered her: "You obviously don't know how to drink, so why don't you just refuse directly? If you refuse without any force, it will only make people more excited. They will want you to accept it, so how can they listen to your opinion?"
"I was thinking, what would a girl like you who doesn't refuse others do if she encountered the following situation?"
He said, and kissed her on the lips.
A kiss that wasn't really a kiss.
They just touched each other for a short while, and before the warm touch of his lips could even be transmitted, he immediately stood up and separated. The hand that was lifting the chin of the person in front of him also changed its position and touched her face.
Qin Shen's original intention was to give her just a light kiss and not make any further contact, for fear of scaring her. But when the girl in front of him looked at him in shock after a few seconds of blankness, the moment their eyes met, the tears in her eyes made him forget his original intention in an instant, and he held her face and kissed her again.
It was not a brief contact that ended immediately after touching, but he pressed her lips lightly and sucked them slightly until their breathing began to entangle together, and then he slowly separated.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere seemed to be stirred up by sticky star sand and slowly sinking into the deep sea.
Xu Man stood stiffly where she was, her fair face flushed. She looked at him without saying a word or moving, as if she had lost all ability to react.
"Xiao Man."
Qin Shen opened his mouth and called her.
"I like you, be my girlfriend."
…
Xu Man didn't know how she regained consciousness. When Qin Shen lifted her chin, she was unable to think for a moment. This was the first time that he had made such an intimate move towards her, which was beyond the normal level between opposite-sex friends. And when he kissed her, her brain went blank. All the blood in her body rushed to her heart at an accelerated rate. She felt like she was falling into a cloud. Only the distinct touch on her lips told her that this was not a dream. It supported her to continue standing and not fall down.
She could no longer tell whether he kissed her once or twice. She only remembered a faint scent of wine touching her lips, and the warm touch was slightly moist, making her lips wet. By the time she came to her senses, he had already stood up and the kiss was gone, leaving only a few traces of the warm touch that lingered in her heart.
She stood stiffly where she was, and for a moment she didn't know where she was or what had just happened.
Just as she was trying hard to gather her thoughts and catch her breath, the person opposite her uttered the same words, causing her brain to go blank for a few seconds again.
When something you have been looking forward to for a long time becomes a reality, you will really doubt whether it is true or false.
Is this true? Or is it just a fantasy in my dream?
Is he serious? Or was it just a drunken joke?
The clear aroma of wine seemed to spread from her lips to her heart, making her a little intoxicated.
Under the dim street lights, the person opposite looked so dazed, like a singing siren, tempting people to sink into it again and again.
He told her that he liked her.
Is this... a confession to her?
Xu Man stared at Qin Shen blankly, without saying anything, and didn't know what to say.
Qin Shen showed great patience at this time. He just stood there and let her watch, with a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if he had already determined what she would answer.
"I like you." He said again, "I want to date you, Xu Man."
This second emphasis finally made Xu Man react a little. She blinked slowly and said "Oh..." in a hesitant voice.
Qin Shen was not in a hurry and waited patiently for what was to come.
I don’t know how long it took, but in the slightly hot summer night breeze, I finally heard a gentle response from the other party.
"……Um."
Xu Man lowered her head, lifted a few strands of hair by her ears, and replied softly with a shy smile.
She answered very softly, so softly that it couldn't even drown out the sound of her own heartbeat. She even doubted whether Qin Shen on the other side could hear it. When she was hesitating whether to add another word or a nod, a hug from her dispelled all her doubts.
The hug was warm and powerful. The scorching heat came through the thin summer clothes. The vivid touch and the breath spraying in her ears enveloped her whole body. It was as if a weak electric current passed through her body, stirring up a series of tiny numbing sensations. Xu Man had never had such an experience before. Her body stiffened for a while, and then slowly softened a little. She hesitantly put her arms around the other's waist.
Qin Shen hugged her a little tightly. She didn't know whether it was a normal display of male strength or because he was as excited as she was and couldn't control his strength. But she didn't feel uncomfortable about it. Tension and joy alternated in her heart, like a spring rain dripping down her heart, watering the tender buds so that they bloomed and spread all over her body.
Silence stretched out in the night. After a long time, Qin Shen's voice finally sounded in her ears. It was a little deeper and hoarser than usual, and also contained a little more smile and joy.
"Look, I told you that you are totally incapable of rejecting others."
"I..." Xu Man was slightly startled, and then she realized what he meant. The charming feelings in her heart dissipated for the most part. She was afraid that he would misunderstand that she agreed only because she was embarrassed to refuse, so she quickly explained, "I'm not--"
"I know." Qin Shen interrupted her, "Your thoughts are all written on your face, I can see it at once, there is no need to guess at all."
Xu Man was startled at first, and then a little confused. Did he see through her feelings for him a long time ago, or was he referring to the thing she wanted to explain just now? But no matter which one it is, she can respond with the following sentence.
"I...I'm the same as you, Captain."
Qin Shen: "Like me?"
"……Um."
Qin Shen let her go, and looked at her face with a smile. Seeing her fair face flushed with clouds and so tender and rosy, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
Xu Man felt embarrassed by his action, but didn't say anything. She pursed her lips lightly and lowered her head, tacitly agreeing to his behavior.
"Don't be silent all the time," Qin Shen said when he saw her like this, "If you don't say a word like this, and are so gentle and quiet, it will make you look particularly well-behaved and easy to bully, you know?"
Xu Man looked up at him in confusion: "What?"
Under the night sky, the girl in front of him frowned and looked pure and innocent, which made Qin Shen's mouth dry. Something in his heart seemed to be about to burst out: "Just like this now."
"Now...?" She still didn't quite understand.
Qin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Nothing. I just want to say that it's a good thing that I was the one who did this to you today. If someone else did these things to you, what would you do? Would you stand there stupidly and accept it all like you did just now?"
"Of course not." Xu Man answered immediately, finally understanding what he wanted to express. "I'm not stupid, of course I would refuse, otherwise there are so many in the university... um."
She stopped talking in time, but Qin Shen had already raised his eyebrows at her.
"So many what?"
"……nothing."
"So many boys?" If there is one thing that the criminal investigation captain is most professional and good at, it is probably to read people's expressions and understand their hearts. Qin Shen smiled and said the second half of the sentence that she swallowed, "They are all pursuing you, right?"
"...about that." Xu Man answered vaguely, and added, "Not many, not many." In order to prevent the other party from thinking that she was showing off how popular she was, although she really didn't think there was anything to show off about this, and if a boy who was not interested in her kept pestering her, it would only add to her troubles.
However, Qin Shen seemed to be interested: "I know, you are so beautiful, only blind boys would not pursue you. But I am curious, how do you reject them? I don't think you can firmly reject people."
"I can refuse." Xu Man pursed her lips, looking a little unconvinced, "I'm not a wooden doll, I also have a temper."
You are indeed not a wooden doll, but a doll, petite and delicate, just looking at you makes people want to hold you in the palm of their hands and take good care of you.
Qin Shen answered this in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He said thoughtfully, "So you still know how to reject others?"
"certainly."
He smiled and said, "I see."
"What?" Xu Man was puzzled. Did he understand something?
The person opposite smiled and said, "I have asked you out so many times before, and you have never refused once. Does that mean... you have liked me for a long time?"
