Chapter 342: Xiao Xuezheng, I seem to like you more and more
The car drove smoothly into the villa area. Shi Runrun was still holding the chubby Totoro doll, and her mood was so good that she felt like she was floating on the clouds.
From time to time, she turned her head to the side and glanced at the man who was concentrating on driving beside her.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the lines of his profile appear particularly strong, and the joints of his fingers gripping the steering wheel are distinct, giving off a sense of calm strength.
She couldn't help laughing when she remembered that he had lied to her on the phone just now, saying that he bought those claw machines for her to practice.
This man can lie without blushing or getting nervous. He is really a talent.
"What are you planning to do with all these machines? Open an amusement park?" She teased him deliberately.
Xiao Xue Zheng looked straight ahead, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, but his expression remained calm as usual.
"Your skills are too poor. You need systematic training."
Shi Runrun was amused by his far-fetched reasoning and laughed. She leaned over, rested her little head on his shoulder, and rubbed it softly.
"Student Xiao, you are jealous of my talent."
The man snorted coldly from his throat, acquiescing to her "accusation", but his tense jawline softened a little inadvertently.
The car slowly turned a corner, and the familiar outline of the villa appeared before our eyes.
The smile on Shi Runrun's face completely froze the moment he saw the scene in the yard clearly.
The originally neatly trimmed green lawn was now filled with dozens of colorful claw machines flashing neon lights. At first glance, it was spectacular, like a large open-air video game arcade.
Sister Li and several servants were standing at the door, looking at each other, their faces showing the same expression of shock and confusion.
The unique Totoro doll in Shi Runrun's arms suddenly lost its charm.
She slowly turned her stiff neck, inch by inch, and looked at the culprit beside her.
Xiao Xuezheng's handsome face was tense. He didn't look at her, but focused on parking the car and unbuckled his seat belt. His movements were so smooth that it seemed as if nothing had happened.
"Get out of the car." He said in a deep voice, pushed the door open and walked down first.
Shi Runrun got out of the car and stood in front of the pile of fancy machines. She felt that her breathing was a little difficult.
When Sister Li saw them, she hurried over and pointed at the "wonder" in the yard with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Sir, Madam, these...these things..."
Xiao Xue Zheng straightened his suit jacket, his face expressionless, and spoke calmly in a tone as if announcing the company's new strategy.
"Everything will be arranged and connected to the electricity. From now on, someone will be assigned to maintain it every day and replace the dolls inside regularly."
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the people behind him. He pulled up Shi Runrun, who was still petrified, and walked straight into the house.
It was not until he pulled her into the living room, where the heavy door blocked out all sight from outside, that Shi Runrun finally found her voice.
"Xiao Xuezheng!"
She shook off his hand and pointed out the window, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What on earth do you want to do? Do you think our house is too empty and want to fill it up with these things?"
The man walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then turned around slowly.
"I told you, this is just practice for you." He still said it as if it was a matter of course. "When you can achieve a 100% capture rate, you can dispose of these things."
Shi Runrun was completely defeated by him.
She could see that this man, in some ways, had an almost paranoid desire to win.
He doesn't allow himself to fail, even in something as small as catching dolls.
He would not allow his woman to perform better than him in the field where he failed.
Therefore, he would rather buy dozens of machines to turn her "luck" into quantifiable "skills."
This childish and competitive man.
The slight anger in Shi Runrun's heart had long been washed away by this absurd and ridiculous reality, and all that was left was helplessness and the urge to laugh.
She walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, reached out her hand, and pinched his tense handsome face.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao has created such excellent training conditions for me. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and practice hard." She smiled and stroked his fur. "When I have practiced well, can we try to challenge the Guinness World Record?"
The man froze up when her soft fingers pinched him, and his ears started to turn red again when he heard her teasing words.
He grabbed her rebellious little hand, and with a dark face, he pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and locked her tightly with his deep black eyes.
"You dare to laugh at me?" His voice was hoarse with a hint of anger.
"I'm not laughing at you. I'm praising you for your foresight. You paved the way for my hobby." Shi Runrun nestled in his arms, smiling like a little fox.
The man's chest heaved violently, but in the end he couldn't bear to lose his temper with her. He just hugged her and bit her soft lips lightly as a punishment.
"Don't mention this matter again." He announced domineeringly.
"Okay, I won't mention it, I won't mention it." Shi Runrun nodded obediently, but she was already very happy in her heart.
After dinner, Shi Runrun played with the children for a while, then went back to her bedroom, using the excuse that she was tired.
After taking a shower, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep. In her mind, one moment was the yard filled with claw machines, and the next was Xiao Xue Zheng's awkward look of being deflated and stubborn.
As she was thinking, she heard the man's deliberately light footsteps outside the door.
He is back?
Shi Runrun immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The bedroom door was gently pushed open and he walked in, his footsteps stopping beside the bed.
She could feel him standing by the bed, looking at her for a long time, then turning around and walking into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Shi Runrun quietly opened one eye, looked at the frosted glass door of the bathroom, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.
When Xiao Xuezhen came out of the bathroom, Shi Runrun had closed his eyes again, breathing steadily, as if he was really asleep.
The man wiped his hair, walked to the bed, gently lifted a corner of the quilt, and lay down beside her.
He did not immediately pull her into his arms as usual, but instead turned sideways and just looked at her quietly.
In the darkness, his gaze seemed to carry warmth as it fell on her face, making her feel a little nervous even though she was pretending to be asleep.
After a while, she felt the man gently pull her hand.
Then, a cool, small object was placed on her wrist.
It’s the rabbit bracelet I bought during the day.
She took it off and put it on the bedside when she took a shower.
He put the bracelet on her and pulled the quilt up to cover her shoulders.
After doing all this, he seemed to finally relax and lay down, ready to sleep.
Shi Runrun's heart felt like it was filled with warm honey, so sweet that it was sickening.
She couldn't pretend anymore, so she opened her eyes in the darkness, turned over, and hugged his strong waist from behind.
"You haven't slept yet?"
The man's body visibly stiffened for a moment, then he turned around and held her in his arms, his voice carrying a hint of annoyance at being caught.
"Aren't you awake too?"
"I can't sleep." Shi Runrun buried her face in his warm chest, her voice muffled.
"Where does it hurt?" The man immediately became nervous, and put his big hand on her still flat belly, rubbing it gently.
"No," Shi Runrun shook her head, "It's just... I feel like today is a dream."
Accompanying children to study, buying stalls, and buying claw machines.
This man always expresses his care and love in his own unique, domineering and clumsy way.
The man held her arms tightly and said nothing.
The bedroom was very quiet, with only the sounds of their breathing intertwined.
"Xiao Xuezheng," Shi Runrun suddenly raised her head and searched for his eyes in the darkness, "I seem to... like you more and more."
This sudden confession was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in the man's heart.
He suddenly tightened his arms around her, and his breathing became heavier.
"What did you say?" His voice was very hoarse.
"I said, I like you, I like you very much." Shi Runrun plucked up the courage to repeat it again.
This time, she didn't wait for his answer.
The man immediately shut up the chattering little mouth with his actions.
This kiss was no longer a punishment, nor a test, but was filled with the ecstasy of regaining what had been lost and an affection so strong that it could not be dissolved.
He pried open her teeth, conquered her, and with his unique strength and dominance, swallowed up all her breath.
It was not until Shi Runrun felt that she was about to melt in his arms that he let go of her a little and rested his hot forehead against hers.
"RunRun," he panted, calling her name over and over again, "You are mine."
He lowered his head and kissed her closely, landing on her brow, nose, cheek, and finally back to her lips that were red and swollen from his kisses.
"Don't go to school tomorrow." The man suddenly spoke, with an irresistible temptation in his voice.
"Why?" Shi Runrun was so confused by his kiss that she couldn't think straight.
Xiao Xue Zheng didn't answer, but just hugged her tighter, pressed his hot lips against her earlobe, and uttered three words in an extremely hoarse voice that only she could hear.
"I miss you."
