Two hours later...
Ning Qiluo nestled in someone's arms, her little hands restless, stroking his neck.
He grasped her restless little hand, and Ning Qiluo took the opportunity to get up and lie on his chest, a position where she could hear his heartbeat. She seemed quite surprised and even commented, "Your heart isn't beating as fast as it was before; it was beating really fast then."
Jiang Yingchi looked down at the top of her head: "You were the one who just said to slow down."
Even though Ning Qiluo was often absent-minded, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this. However, considering that she hadn't yet told him her important matter, it was always the right thing to do to please him first.
"Jiang Yingchi, I have something to tell you." She lay motionless on his chest, her voice not soft, but rather alluring.
"Um."
He responded.
Ning Qiluo looked up at him, meeting his eyes that seemed to have parted from the mist, and she pursed her lips.
Seeing her hesitate, Jiang Yingchi sat up, the blanket slipping off him to reveal several obvious scratch marks on his chest, the cause of which was unclear...
Ning Qiluo saw her own masterpiece, her face flushed, and she quickly shifted her gaze back to his face.
Are you satisfied with your masterpiece?
His melodious voice came through.
Ziyu avoided him but instead wanted to urge him on.
Ning Qiluo's expression was priceless as she argued, "I... I didn't mean to, and you said it didn't hurt."
Jiang Yingchi smiled and said, "Yes, it doesn't hurt."
If he says it hurts, she probably won't think much of it.
He said "It doesn't hurt," which made Ning Qiluo's cheeks burn even hotter. She secretly blamed herself for this problem. Even though they were so close, she still easily felt her cheeks flush in front of him.
"I'm very busy tomorrow. I have to do voice-over work for a new movie, and I'm leaving for Country Y the day after. We probably won't see each other for a long time after that. Also, this time I hope you won't give me any surprises like you did when you came to Baishan. Can you let me give my parents a heads-up first?"
Jiang Yingchi seemed unconcerned about her earlier words, only concerned with her later question: "What preventative measure?"
Ning Qiluo looked into his eyes and said, "I want to get engaged to you, the kind of engagement that's made public."
As soon as she finished speaking, just as Ning Qiluo had expected—or rather, beyond her expectations—Jiang Yingchi, who was sitting down, straightened up immediately.
He raised his hands and placed them on her shoulders, staring intently at her, and said something childish that left Ning Qiluo bewildered: "Aluo, lying will get you struck by lightning."
Ning Qiluo: "..."
He's such a serious person, yet at this moment, he said something so childish.
However... since these words were directed at her, it seems somewhat understandable...
Ning Qiluo felt a lump in her throat, thinking that she had always been a naive person in his eyes, so she went along with him and said, "Yes, lying will get you struck by lightning."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Jiang Yingchi lowered his head and kissed him.
Ning Qiluo tried to dodge, but he kissed her on the cheek. Before she could even complain, he turned her face and kissed her lips.
She pounded on his chest, but he remained unmoved, letting her do as she pleased. When he finally released her, she glared at him, panting.
He gently stroked her luscious lips with his fingertips, softly calling her name, "A-Luo."
"You bullied me!" she accused angrily.
Her expression was like that of a spoiled little brat, with her cheeks puffed out, which made him laugh.
He has a very handsome smile, at least that's what Ning Qiluo thinks. And there's something that always makes her happy: most of the time, only she can see his smile.
Yes, she is definitely happy.
