"Zhao Chao." Shi Jing stared at Zhu Jin Chao's rosy lips, swallowing hard. "Can I...can I kiss you?"
"Thump..."
Zhu Jinzhao heard her heartbeat suddenly quicken, and then she heard herself say in a hoarse voice, "Hmm."
With permission, Shi Jing's hand, which was holding her shoulder, slowly moved up, his hot palm brushing across her neck and gently caressing her cheek.
She looked up and gazed intently at Shi Jing with her bright eyes.
Shi Jing's thumb lingered intimately on her lips, then he lowered his head and slowly approached her.
His hot breath gently sprayed on her face, and Zhu Jinzhao subconsciously closed her eyes, anxiously waiting for Shi Jing's kiss.
Their lips gradually drew closer, starting with tentative, light touches before settling into a comfortable, tight embrace.
Zhu Jinzhao closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembling involuntarily.
Shi Jing appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was incredibly nervous.
He was stiff and tense all over. Although he had finally kissed Zhu Jinzhao, his lips were like dead. He only dared to press them hard against his lips and dared not make any other movements.
...
The carriage was quiet, with only the strong fragrance of flowers wafting restlessly through the air.
Shi Jing stood there, his lips pressed against Zhu Jinzhao's, his heart pounding wildly.
So fragrant...so soft...He was mesmerized by the softness on his lips, his mind reeling, as if he had fallen into the gentle embrace woven by Zhu Jinzhao.
After clumsily and rigidly sticking it on for a long time, Shi Jing finally reluctantly let go of Zhu Jinzhao.
Zhu Jinzhao was so nervous that she couldn't help but pant as soon as her lips were released.
Shi Jing stared at her with a dazed look in his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice was completely hoarse.
"Every morning."
"Hmm?" Zhu Jinzhao looked up, her misty eyes slightly moistened by affection.
Shi Jing's Adam's apple bobbed awkwardly, and he apologized to her with a flushed face: "Chao Chao, this is my first kiss. It's my first time kissing a girl, I have no experience and I'm very nervous, please bear with me."
"It's alright." Zhu Jinzhao smiled, pursing her lips. "It's my first time being kissed, so please bear with me."
"...The first time?" These three words surprised Shi Jing.
Is this really the first time Zhu Jinzhao has been kissed? She and Lu Yuzhou have been together for so long, has Lu Yuzhou never kissed her before?
Knowing what he was wondering about, Zhu Jinzhao quickly explained, "That person tried to kiss me, but each time, he was interrupted by all sorts of inexplicable things. So, he never succeeded..."
Shi Jing didn't actually care about this. He knew Zhu Jinzhao had a boyfriend, so he could naturally imagine what Zhu Jinzhao and that boyfriend might have done. But he didn't care about these things because he liked Zhu Jinzhao as a person, not her past.
Even so, when he heard Zhu Jinzhao say that the dead man had never kissed her, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
"Serves him right." He cursed smugly, "How could a scumbag like him be worthy of kissing the sweet and soft Chaochao?"
"Zhaochao is mine, and only I can kiss him."
Zhu Jinzhao, head bowed, chuckled to herself: "Okay, you can kiss me."
Shi Jing: "Chao Chao, get off the bus. I have something to show you."
Zhu Jinzhao nodded, immediately opened the car door and jumped out.
Shi Jing walked around the front of the car, took Zhu Jinzhao's hand, and led her to the trunk.
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Jinzhao asked curiously.
Shi Jing didn't speak, but simply reached out and pressed the switch button on the trunk.
With a "click," the trunk door slowly opened and then automatically closed.
A strong floral fragrance instantly filled the air.
Zhu Jinzhao stared wide-eyed at the slowly opening trunk without blinking.
The next second, the colorful lights in the trunk suddenly lit up, and the car full of flowers unexpectedly rushed into Zhu Jinzhao's eyes.
"..."
Zhu Jinzhao paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! So many flowers!"
"Do you like it?" Shi Jing didn't look at the flowers, only at her.
She couldn't help but walk forward, reaching out to gently stroke the car full of flowers, her face beaming with a joy that was almost dazzling.
"I love it!" she said confidently. "I especially love it!"
"And what else?" Shi Jing stepped forward, took her hand, and led her to the back door of the car.
She vaguely guessed what was going on, and without Shi Jing reminding her, she reached out and opened the car door.
Clusters of vibrant roses cascaded from the car like a waterfall, swaying gracefully against Zhu Jinzhao's flowing skirt.
May the world today be filled with vibrant flowers, chasing away everything else and leaving only surprises and happiness.
"Didn't you say you were busy doing crafts today and didn't have time to buy flowers?" She reached out and picked a pink and white rose, holding it lovingly in her palm.
Shi Jing raised an arm and braced it against the car door, trapping Zhu Jinzhao in front of him.
"I was lying to you." He lowered his head, holding Zhu Jinzhao firmly in his gaze, and spoke in a soft and gentle voice, "I didn't do any crafts today. I spent all my time preparing these flowers."
Zhu Jinzhao: "This is way too much..."
Shi Jing smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Not many. I even think they're too few, not good enough for my Chaochao."
Looking at the flowers in her hand, Zhu Jinzhao muttered to herself, "You prepared these flowers so early, are you really that sure I'll be with you?"
Shi Jing raised his hand and touched her face: "Preparing flowers is my way of pursuing you, not a gamble on whether you will be with me."
Zhu Jinzhao: "You're quite the smooth talker."
Shi Jing: "I wasn't good at saying these things before, but since I met you, it's like I've learned them on my own. Whenever I'm with you, I can't help but say so many things like this to you. I desperately want you to know my feelings, and I desperately want you to be happy."
Zhu Jinzhao looked up into his eyes and said sincerely and solemnly, "Shi Jing, thank you. Thank you for liking me."
Shi Jing: "Zhao Chao, thank you for being willing to be with me."
Wishing Shi Jing a bright smile today, while she was still immersed in the joy of her dream coming true, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Shi Jing on the cheek.
With a soft "pop," Shi Jing's face instantly turned bright red.
Zhu Jinzhao: "Shi Jing, I like you very much too."
"..."
Shi Jing's heart immediately melted.
He closed his eyes contentedly, and with a quick movement, pulled Zhu Jinzhao into a tight embrace.
Zhu Jinchao nestled obediently in his arms, her wandering and helpless heart finally finding its safe haven.
The night breeze gently stirred the hearts of the lovers.
Feeling Zhu Jinzhao's unguarded reliance on him, Shi Jing suddenly wanted to kiss her again.
"Chaochao, I..."
"Buzzing—"
"Buzzing—"
The phone vibrated at an inopportune moment, extinguishing all of Shi Jing's ambiguous thoughts.
"Blind man..."
He was so angry he gritted his teeth.
