Chapter 355: Unromantic
Seeing Li Jinxing frowning slightly, Nie Yao thought he didn't like the smell of the mosquito repellent, so she quickly took out a tissue and handed it to him: "You're not allergic to these, are you? If you are, cover your nose first..."
Li Jinxing shook his head and said with a faint smile: "I'm not allergic, but I think these mosquitoes are really unromantic..."
Nie Yao burst out laughing. "The mosquitoes in the mountains are always so fierce. If a couple chooses to date in a place like this without any protective measures, they're likely to come back covered in bites!"
She sprinkled some snake repellent on the grass beside her and Li Jinxing's feet, and explained with a smile: "There are not only mosquitoes on the mountain, but also snakes hiding in the grass..."
Nie Yao explained to him while completing these precautionary preparations. Seeing that Li Jinxing hadn't replied for a long time, she thought he thought she was being long-winded, so she turned around and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm as unromantic as a mosquito on the mountain?"
After all, he had taken the cable car up the mountain with her on a date to watch the meteor shower, but he hadn't expected her to be doing protective work the entire time...
Li Jinxing raised the corners of his lips slightly, holding up a flashlight to help her illuminate the room, shaking his head and looking at her tenderly: "In my opinion, these tiny details in life are the greatest romance!"
When he said this, his eyes became somewhat distant. "A long time ago, when I was a child, my parents also supported each other in this way. Whenever they went out together, my father would get out of the car first and shield my head to prevent her from being hit when getting out. This habit lasted until the end... My father's clothes were taken care of by someone in charge, but he once got angry because a cufflink was missing. From then on, my mother would personally check his clothes every time!"
Hearing Li Jinxing mention his parents' love, Nie Yao stood up, wiped her hands with a wet tissue, walked over to him, put her arms around his neck, and whispered, "My adoptive father has never found a partner, so I can't understand the kind of feelings you're talking about. It may be difficult for me to be as meticulous as your mother, and I can't make any promises, but I will work hard to make our relationship regret-free..."
Li Jinxing lowered his head and looked deep into her eyes. Seeing the light twinkling in her eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle. He put his arms around her waist, let her sit in his arms, lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers, and sighed softly, "Okay, let's work hard together..."
Nie Yao nodded in response, without saying anything else, but quietly hugged his neck.
No matter what others say, she believes that Li Jinxing, who once had a happy and warm family, cannot be so violent in his bones!
His yearning for a better life, his emotion for his parents' love, and his tenderness towards her are all true!
"What are you thinking about?" Li Jinxing saw her leaning quietly in his arms, without saying a word, he rubbed her hair and asked with a smile.
"Nothing..." Nie Yao smiled faintly and didn't want to mention what the butler had said before, so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion between him and the butler.
Li Jinxing felt like she was hiding something from him, and just as he was about to ask more, Nie Yao raised her head, pointed at the night sky, and said excitedly, "Look, the meteor shower has started!"
Nie Yao jumped up from Li Jinxing's arms, immediately took out the small-aperture telescope she carried with her from her bag, and began to observe the meteor shower.
