Xia Linyin felt her face burning hot, and she stammered, "I... my mind is a mess right now, and my heart is racing. Let me calm down first."
Mo Li's grip on her hand was like an ice cream cone under the scorching sun, almost melting into a ball, and she had no strength to break free.
Mo Li got up and walked to Xia Linyin's side. He squatted down, looked up at Xia Linyin's face, and said, "My heart is beating very fast too."
"Huh?" Xia Linyin was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Mo Li. Was Mo Li's heart also beating fast? But she couldn't tell at all.
She thought she was the only one who was so nervous.
Mo Li took Xia Linyin's hand and placed it on his chest. "Can you feel it?"
"Splash! Splash! Splash!"
Even through the fabric, you could feel that heart was beating so fast, it felt like it was about to jump out of the chest.
Xia Linyin opened her mouth in surprise, "Wow, that was fast!"
It beats only for you.
It beats only for you.
It beats only for you.
It beats only for you.
Like an echo in an empty valley, this sentence swirled in Xia Linyin's mind.
All consciousness was fading away; she stared blankly at Mo Li, her soul seemingly drawn into his deep eyes…
As she pushed open the door of the coffee shop, a gust of wind blew in, and Xia Linyin blinked as if she had just woken up from a dream.
She raised her hand, which was clasped with Mo Li's, the exquisite silver rings on their fingers gleaming. "So, are we together now?"
She was stunned when Mo Li knelt down in front of her and said, "It only beats for you."
My mind went completely blank.
In a daze, she let Mo Li put the ring on her hand, and when she heard Mo Li say, "Aren't you going to put it on me?", she awkwardly put the ring on Mo Li's finger under Mo Li's smiling gaze, her face as red as a ripe apple.
Everything that happened in the coffee shop felt like a dream. From the moment she met Mo Li, she was immersed in this dream, her heart racing and her body bubbling with blush-inducing pink bubbles.
“Of course.” Mo Li gave Xia Linyin a positive answer.
Like a skilled hunter, he captured Xia Linyin before she could even react.
After leaving the coffee shop, the two went into a Chinese restaurant for lunch.
Boiled shrimp, cola chicken wings, braised pork knuckle, boiled sliced meat, pickled fish, garlic baby bok choy, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and tomato and egg soup.
The table was full of Xia Linyin's favorite dishes. Without Xia Linyin's knowledge, Mo Li had already figured out all of her preferences.
While peeling shrimp for Xia Linyin, Mo Li asked, "Why did you cry yesterday?"
"My parents are getting a divorce, and my dad cheated on me." Xia Linyin sighed. "Sigh, do you think men turn bad once they have money?"
Mo Li placed the peeled shrimp into a small dish and said seriously to Xia Linyin, "I don't know how."
Xia Linyin picked up a fresh, tender shrimp, dipped it in some sauce, and then stuffed it into her mouth with a loud gulp. "Hmm, you're very rich now."
"So, over all these years, have you ever..."
Xia Linyin bit the end of her chopsticks and gave Mo Li a suggestive raise of her eyebrows, though she felt a little nervous inside.
"No, I'm still a virgin." After instantly understanding Xia Linyin's meaning, Mo Li explained in a serious tone.
"Cough cough cough—" Xia Linyin almost choked on her own saliva.
She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth, somewhat startled by Mo Li's directness, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.
"What..." she muttered, pursing her lips.
The most tender moment is when she lowers her head, so gentle and shy.
Mo Li's heart started pounding again. He, who rarely spoke, automatically activated his sweet talk skills in front of Xia Linyin.
"I've liked you since my first year of high school, and I still like you now. I only liked you before, and I will only like you in the future."
"I will never betray you, I swear on my life!" Mo Li said solemnly.
"Okay, okay! I believe you!"
Xia Linyin picked up a chicken wing and put it into Mo Li's bowl. "Eat up, stop peeling shrimp."
Every time Mo Li looked at her so intently, she suspected that if she didn't believe him even a little bit, he would cut open his chest and show her his heart the next second.
Looking at the chicken wings in the bowl, Mo Li felt a sweet warmth in his heart. After wiping his hands with a wet wipe, he carefully picked up a chicken wing from the bowl.
The way it looked made it seem as if it wasn't a chicken wing being held, but a priceless pearl.
Remembering that Mo Li had secretly collected the things she had used, which she still kept, Xia Linyin said mysteriously, "I'll show you something later."
There was a hint of smugness in her expression.
"Okay." Without asking anything, Mo Li simply said okay, as if he would agree to anything Xia Linyin said.
Mo Li lowered his head, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, almost swallowing a chicken bone.
Xia Linyin's expression...
So incredibly cute!
When paying the bill, Xia Linyin noticed a photo of herself tucked into Mo Li's wallet and immediately asked, "Oh dear, when was this photo taken?"
Mo Li closed his wallet and put it in his pocket, then took Xia Linyin's hand and walked out, selectively ignoring the problem, but the tips of his ears turned red.
Seeing Mo Li blush and turn red with embarrassment, Xia Linyin didn't ask the question again. She laughed and said, "You said you've been secretly in love with me for a long time, and you even have my photos."
Every time I see Mo Li looking so serious and shy, I really want to tease him.
If you don't look at his ears, you can't tell he's shy at all.
His face always looked like he was wearing a cold mask.
She wanted to see more smiles on Mo Li's face, and even more smiles.
"It's been a very, very long time." Mo Li kissed Xia Linyin's fingers, then gentlemanly protected her head as she got into the car.
When they arrived at her doorstep, Xia Linyin unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when Mo Li suddenly said, "Did you forget something?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Xia Linyin looked at Mo Li in confusion.
Mo Li pointed to her cheek, and Xia Linyin's face immediately turned red. She bit her lip and then shyly leaned in.
She intended to give Mo Li a quick kiss on the cheek and run away, but unexpectedly, when she leaned in, Mo Li suddenly turned his head away, and her kiss landed on Mo Li's lips.
Xia Linyin's eyes widened. Music was still playing in the car, but she felt everything around her was fading away, and all that remained in her mind was the sensation on her lips.
As Xia Linyin's eyelashes fluttered, she was about to back away when Mo Li grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
Instead of their lips remaining still pressed together, Mo Li awkwardly moved his lips and captured Xia Linyin's soft lips.
