Jiang Shuya helped him put on his coat, her hand inadvertently touching his neck. His back was icy cold. Lin Moxiao watched her help him get dressed without saying a word, and could no longer resist pulling her into his arms, whispering in her ear.
"Don't leave me, stay with me, okay? Let's be together."
Jiang Shuya was very fond of his embrace, closing her eyes to enjoy the warmth of his body. After a moment, Lin Moxiao took her hands and looked at her seriously again.
Their eyes met, and they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats. Lin Moxiao looked at her with burning eyes and anticipation.
"Xiaoya, I think about you all the time, and dream of having you. Even though I'm a step too late, I don't care. Please don't distance yourself from me, okay? I'll always love you, and I'm willing to spoil you for a lifetime and take care of you forever."
"Do you really like me that much?" Jiang Shuya's eyes flashed with doubt.
Seeing that she seemed to be wavering, Lin Moxiao pleaded.
"In my eyes, you are unique and special. Don't doubt me. Tell me what you want, and I will give you anything I have."
Jiang Shuya blinked, a gentle smile appearing on her face. She leaned her head against his chest and uttered a single word: "Okay."
Overjoyed at receiving the answer, Lin Moxiao jumped for joy, his whole body pounding wildly as if he had been electrocuted. He involuntarily hugged the person in his arms tightly and spun around, making Jiang Shuya dizzy and disoriented.
A moment later, Lin Moxiao put down the still-shaken Jiang Shuya and said excitedly;
"Are you hungry? Let me take you to get something to eat."
Jiang Shuya smoothed her slightly disheveled hair and nodded; "I still want to go to the bookstore."
"Buy books." Lin Moxiao asked.
"Reading a book."
Perhaps it was a habit, but whenever she encountered the most difficult thing, the only place she could think of was the bookstore. She was reluctant to talk about this quirk, treating it as her own remedy.
Lin Moxiao held her hand tightly as they descended the steps and left the viewing platform. The warmth of his palm quickly transferred to Jiang Shuya's icy hands, making them feel incredibly warm.
"Why are your hands so cold? Why aren't you wearing more clothes? After we eat, I'll take you to buy some."
Lin Moxiao frowned as he walked, thankful that he hadn't been so angry with her that he left yesterday.
Reason told him that he didn't want to miss out on her like this. He never expected that staying by her side all night would open her icy heart. He believed that as long as he was given a chance, he could definitely keep her by his side and let her live in his heart.
Jiang Shuya shook her head;
"It's no use. No matter how many layers you wear, your hands and feet will still be cold all year round. It's just how they are; wrapping yourself in a quilt won't help."
Lin Moxiao was amused by her absurd talk;
"If everyone thought like you, there would be no need to put cotton-padded coats and down jackets on the shelves in shopping malls."
Jiang Shuya sighed and didn't explain further. It was an illness, a disease that women get during their postpartum period. How could she tell the man in front of her? Could she tell him that she got it after having Tangtang with Huang Minghao? Wouldn't that annoy him?
Seeing that she remained silent, Lin Moxiao leaned over and looked at her tenderly.
"What are you thinking? If you feel those clothes aren't enough for you, I'll hold you every night from now on, and I'll make sure you feel warmth you've never felt before."
Seeing that he was talking more and more outrageous, Jiang Shuya punched him. Lin Moxiao deliberately ran away, constantly looking back and backing away, enticing Jiang Shuya to keep chasing after him and shouting.
The two chased each other back and forth until they got into the car and prepared to leave. Jiang Shuya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, straightened her clothes, put her hands in her pockets, and touched the red booklet. It was the divorce certificate she had just received yesterday. She quietly withdrew her hands, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated.
Lin Moxiao, who turned to help her fasten her seatbelt, looked at her with a warm smile, while Jiang Shuya's evasive eyes showed gloom.
The man, beaming with joy, couldn't resist kissing her on the cheek, which brought Jiang Shuya back to her senses.
Seeing his bright smile, Jiang Shuya forced a smile, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Lin Moxiao didn't notice Jiang Shuya's discomfort, assuming it was just shyness or embarrassment, and didn't think much of it.
He said it with great enthusiasm;
"After dinner, I'll take you to the boutique supermarket to buy some seasonings and daily necessities. We need to cook the seafood Ziliang brought yesterday as soon as possible. Do you like seafood?"
"Ah, seafood? Where did Ziliang buy it? Did he give me the same thing yesterday?"
Jiang Shuya, realizing what had happened, remembered that she had left the things Ziliang had given her by the flower bed in the Lida Shopping Mall without taking them.
Lin Moxiao raised an eyebrow;
"Ziliang already knows you're not being nice, he'll handle it. Making this for you is the same thing."
Jiang Shuya heard this and didn't feel sorry for her. Anyway, she didn't know how to make it, so it would just sit there. She couldn't help but start to wonder.
"Where did Ziliang buy his seafood? His hometown isn't near the sea."
Lin Moxiao, who was driving, smiled.
"He has an uncle in his hometown, Liancheng, which is near the sea and less than 200 kilometers away. He bought it when he visited his uncle during the Spring Festival. Speaking of Ziliang, he told me an interesting story yesterday: he went on a blind date in his hometown, and I heard the girl was quite satisfied with him."
Jiang Shuya was very curious. She hadn't expected that there would be such an honest, simple, and perceptive girl in her hometown. It was truly amazing.
Lin Moxiao pursed his lips with a mischievous smile, refusing to say anything more, leaving Jiang Shuya anxiously staring blankly.
The two soon arrived at a high-end restaurant. Upon entering the lobby, Jiang Shuya couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it a bit too luxurious to have breakfast in a place like this so early in the morning?"
Lin Moxiao, disregarding everything, embraced her and walked to an elegantly decorated dining table. At that moment, a very polite waiter approached with a bright smile.
The menu was brought over and presented with both hands. Upon seeing the prices, Jiang Shuya almost gasped in surprise. She was about to get up and leave when Lin Moxiao grabbed her and pointed to the signature dishes on the menu.
"Two of these set meals, please."
The man quickly understood, took the menu, and left.
Jiang Shuya looked at Lin Moxiao with a worried expression;
"This is way too expensive! Over a thousand yuan for breakfast? Do you think your money grows on trees? I don't even feel worthy of sitting here."
Lin Moxiao wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear;
"I promise you, I'll splurge just this once, okay? But you also have to promise me you'll be my wife, and I'll give you all my money to manage."
Jiang Shuya stared at him in astonishment, thinking to herself;
Isn't this person a staunch advocate of remaining single, claiming to be a non-marriage advocate?
He winked at her mischievously, "What, you won't?"
