"Hmm... why did I think of making beef pie..."
With her mouth full of beef, Luo Jiu's speech was a little slurred.
"Since today is the premiere of your first drama, we should celebrate, shouldn't we?"
His face, clouded with dust, was hidden in the dim yellow glow of the candlelight, revealing glints in his eyes, pale red lips, and a thin jawline that appeared and disappeared in the candlelight, as if veiled by a light gauze, exuding an air of mystery.
Luo Jiu suddenly became mesmerized, and even her swallowing movements naturally slowed down.
"Um?"
Chen Jinchen's question brought Luo Jiu back to her senses. She coughed lightly twice, trying to cover up her infatuation.
"Well, what if this show flops? Then all your preparations will have been for nothing."
"How could that be?"
Chen Jinchen propped his head up, his beautiful thin lips curving into a perfect arc.
"Nothing is wasted on you."
"Besides, I trust you."
Because of Shen Jinchen's words, Luo Jiu blushed completely and hurriedly tried to cover up her unease by drinking.
"No, no, that's too unfair!"
Feeling like she'd been flirted with again, Luo Jiu was furious, like a little girl whose candy had been stolen.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinchen laughed and slowly walked towards Luo Jiu.
As the person drew closer, a flicker of panic crossed Luo Jiu's eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't move."
A deep, hoarse voice sounded behind Luo Jiu, and a pair of broad, strong hands held Luo Jiu firmly in the chair.
Then, Luo Jiu felt a chill on her neck. Looking down, she saw it was a necklace.
After putting on the necklace, Shen Jinchen leaned down, rested his chin on Luo Jiu's shoulder, and whispered:
Do you like it?
Luo Jiu couldn't resist; she fell in love with it at first sight.
It was a silver necklace, shimmering in the candlelight. A crescent moon hung in the center, gazing at a small star about five centimeters away. It was inlaid with tiny gemstones. To Luo Jiu's surprise, these gemstones were a pinkish-purple color.
No girl can resist sparkly little things, and Luo Jiu is no exception.
Unable to hear Luo Jiu's reply, Shen Jinchen didn't press the matter further. Instead, he moved closer and closer to Luo Jiu, his lips almost touching her cheek.
From behind, Shen Jinchen held Luo Jiu in his arms with a very forceful posture, making her absorb his scent and making her his possession.
"So, my dear Miss Luo Jiu, do I have the honor of becoming your boyfriend?"
The hot breath exhaled from Chen Jinchen's nostrils sprayed all over Luo Jiu's cheeks, and every word he spoke seemed to be licking his own skin.
Luo Jiu, being such a sensitive person, blushed deeply in no time, her face turning completely red, from her cheeks to behind her ears.
"You...you're committing a foul."
Luo Jiu had completely lost the ability to resist, slumped weakly in the chair, even her words were soft and powerless. She only made one want to bully her even more.
"Hehe, so do you agree?"
A muffled chuckle sounded in Luo Jiu's ear again, causing Luo Jiu to lose even the last bit of thinking ability.
"Um……"
Luo Jiu couldn't deny that she was moved. Not only because Shen Jinchen completely matched her aesthetic preferences, but also because of his gentleness and unconditional trust.
Finding a national heartthrob as a boyfriend seems like a win-win situation, right?
Shen Jinchen walked around to Luo Jiu's front, cupped her small head in his hands, and thus bumped into her captivating peach blossom eyes.
"May I kiss you?"
A sexy, low voice exploded in Luo Jiu's ears, uttering such ambiguous words. Luo Jiu instantly lost her composure. Under Shen Jinchen's gaze, her face flushed red, she kissed those thin lips.
With a light touch, before she could even taste anything, Luo Jiu fled.
"hehe……"
Shen Jinchen found Luo Jiu's innocence and cuteness amusing. He placed his hand on Luo Jiu's chin once more, gazing at her affectionately, and uttered shameless words:
"Sweetie, I'll teach you."
The man forcefully kissed Luo Jiu's lips, prying open her tightly closed teeth, like conquering a city, leaving Luo Jiu utterly defeated.
"Hmm..."
Luo Jiu couldn't bear this. Her face flushed red, and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over.
"Idiot, how come you can't even breathe properly?"
Shen Jinchen released her, rubbed his messed-up hair, and joked in a good mood.
"Then I just don't know how, so what?"
Luo Jiu meant that she couldn't compare to someone as battle-hardened as you.
To everyone's surprise, after hearing this, Shen Jinchen laughed again, the kind of laugh that he couldn't suppress.
"Then I'll teach you until you understand."
"Shall we try again?"
Luo Jiu: "..."
With a flushed face, she pushed away the person who was about to press down on her. "I want to go back."
Amidst Shen Jinchen's muffled laughter, Luo Jiu fled in a flustered manner.
She never imagined that the meal she was having today would turn out to be a trap, and that she would end up getting herself caught in it.
As soon as they entered, the two people inside noticed that Luo Jiu was acting strangely. Her face was flushed, as if she had been pampered and loved; something seemed off.
"Are you together?"
After all, he was a few years older than the two of them and had also been young, so he saw the problem at a glance.
Luo Jiu: "..."
Her silence was interpreted by the two of them as tacit agreement.
All that could be heard was Chestnut's scream:
"Ahhh, I knew no one could escape my crush's grasp! He finally won you over."
Luo Jiu: "...So, you knew all along?"
Chestnut coughed twice, her eyes darting around, trying to change the subject, but ultimately succumbed to Luo Jiu's sharp gaze.
"Okay, okay, I only found out because he brought you back when you were drunk last time."
"And what about you?" Luo Jiu then turned her gaze to Liu Zhen.
"It's so obvious, do we even need to look? We could guess it."
After saying that, Liu Zhen reached out and smacked Luo Jiu on the head, "Don't think you can stop working just because you're dating him now. If you dare to expose this now, I'll kill myself!"
Luo Jiu: "...You can tell Shen Jinchen your thoughts..."
Just then, Lili's voice came: "Sis, look, my idol posted on Weibo."
Luo Jiu snatched it and saw that the Weibo post had been published five minutes ago.
The caption is just two words: #Goodnight# plus a moon emoji.
The picture shows the seats where Luo Jiu and he had dinner just now, a candlelight dinner for the two of them. Isn't this a blatant hint?
She was too afraid to even open the comments below; Chen Jinchen's female fans were incredibly fierce.
But I also felt a sweet feeling in my heart, as if a warm current was slowly flowing through me.
He posted on Weibo but didn't make it public, probably to protect me.
