Couples in the throes of new love want to be together all the time.
Zhu Jinzhao had just agreed to go home with Shi Jing tonight when Shi Jing ran up to him and snatched Zhu Jinzhao's change of clothes from Ning Shi's hands.
Ning Shi looked at him with a horrified expression: "What are you doing?!"
He raised an eyebrow smugly: "I took my girlfriend's change of clothes, so what? Is that illegal?"
"Tch..." Ning Shi rolled her eyes at him and lifted the other two bags hanging on her shoulder.
“‘I took my girlfriend’s change of clothes~~’” she mimicked Shi Jing sarcastically, rolling her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. “It’s just dating, what’s so great about it… I can date Jiang Jiang too!”
Jiang Jingwen: "...I am heterosexual, thank you."
"Cough, cough!" Shi Jing held Zhu Jinzhao's bag in his arms and coughed twice very deliberately, trying to attract the attention of Jiang Jingwen and Ning Shi.
Ning Shi turned her head to look at him expressionlessly.
He narrowed his eyes, smiled, and waved to the two of them, saying in a affected manner, "You two enjoy your stay at the hotel. I'm taking my girlfriend home now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"...Ah!" Jiang Jingwen belatedly realized what was happening, clenching her fists and shouting at Shi Jing, "No, what do you mean?! Which house are you taking your girlfriend to?"
Ning Shi: "Of course it's the Shi family."
"Huh?" Jiang Jingwen opened her mouth in astonishment.
Ning Shi thoughtfully explained to her, "Shi Jing means that Chaochao is going to go home with him tonight, and the two of us will go to the hotel by ourselves."
"...Going home?!" Jiang Jingwen was bewildered for a few seconds, then said hesitantly, "Well, when young couples in love live together, there's a 90% chance they'll have to do this or that..."
Ning Shi looked at her and said, "We're both adults. It's normal to do this and that when you're in a relationship."
"No!" Jiang Jingwen disagreed. "Our Chaochao is still young; she can't do this!"
Ning Shi hooked her arm around her shoulder and dragged her toward the hotel: "What do you mean 'little'? The child is already in a relationship, so stop worrying like an old mother. Besides, Shi Jing isn't an irresponsible person. If he really did that with Chaochao, he would definitely marry her."
"Really?" Jiang Jingwen asked, still unconvinced.
Ning Shi: "Of course it's true! Don't let Shi Jing's playboy-like face fool you, he's into pure love and has a strong sense of male virtue."
"I have a feeling that Shi Jing and Chao Chao will not only be the first couple among us to fall in love, but also the first to get married! Xiao Jiang, you have to work hard too."
Jiang Jingwen shook her head: "I don't want to work hard. I hope love can be more sensible and come to me on its own."
Ning Shi: "...What comes knocking on my door isn't love, it's home invasion robbery!"
"robbery?"
Xie Lang suddenly darted out from a side path and jumped in front of Jiang Jingwen with a "thud": "What robbery? Who's robbing us?"
"..."
"Aaaaaaah!!"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
His response was two piercing screams and two loud, crisp slaps.
"ah!"
He clutched his arms and backed away, looking at the two people in front of him with a wronged expression: "What are you doing?!"
"What are you doing?" Ning Shi's face turned pale with fright. "Couldn't you have given us a heads-up before showing your face? Are you trying to scare us to death by suddenly appearing like this?"
Xie Lang: "I... I didn't appear suddenly. I gave you a heads-up beforehand, but you didn't hear me!"
Jiang Jingwen slapped him again: "That's your fault too!"
"..." Xie Lang pouted unconvinced, not daring to say anything.
...
"Chao Chao, come in quickly."
Shi Jing, holding Zhu Jinzhao's hand, nervously and excitedly led her into his room.
"Look," he said, pointing to the newly changed four-piece bedding set on the bed, his eyes full of anticipation as he looked at Zhu Jinchao, "I asked the housekeeper to change these. Do you like them?"
Zhu Jinzhao nodded: "I like it."
A cream-colored quilt with ruffled edges, a soft pillow with light green floral print in the same color scheme, and an adorable and comforting smiley cookie pillow... everything perfectly matched Zhu Jinzhao's aesthetic.
Zhu Jinzhao walked over and touched it. The moment her palm touched the quilt, she was enveloped by its soft, silky texture, like a cloud.
"It feels so good..." she said, squinting her eyes.
Shi Jing took her change of clothes to the bathroom and put them away, a hint of pride in her slightly raised eyebrows: "I only buy the best of these things. As long as Chaochao is comfortable, then it's worth it."
Zhu Jinzhao: "Thank you."
"Don't say thank you to me." Shi Jing came around from the foot of the bed and affectionately pulled Zhu Jinzhao into her arms.
Zhu Jinzhao looked up at him, her eyes full of smiles: "You've done so much for me, isn't it only right that I thank you?"
"You shouldn't." Shi Jing lowered her head and bumped her forehead against Zhu Jinzhao's. "I did all these things for you voluntarily, so you don't need to thank me. But if you're really touched, just give me a kiss to make me happy."
"Pop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Jinzhao stood on tiptoe and decisively gave him a big kiss on the corner of his mouth.
He paused for a moment, then immediately offered the other corner of his mouth as well: "I want this side too."
"Pop!"
May we be reunited today.
Shi Jing switched sides again: "One more over here."
Wishing you a happy new day: "Kiss!"
"We need more here."
"Pop..."
The clear, intermittent "kissing" sounds echoed in the room. Zhu Jinzhao kissed her more than a dozen times, and then refused to kiss her anymore.
"My lips are numb, I'm not kissing anymore."
"Good, good, good." Although he wasn't quite done yet, Shi Jing was already completely satisfied.
He reached out and gently rubbed the corner of Zhu Jinchao's mouth, asking in a soft voice, "It's already 8:30, does Chaochao still want to go out and play?"
Zhu Jinzhao shook her head: "I'm not going. I was really tired from class today, and I don't want to go out. I just want to stay home."
Shi Jing: "Okay. Chaochao, go take a shower first, and then we'll order some barbecue?"
"Okay!" Zhu Jinchao agreed.
"Go take a shower." Shi Jing reluctantly let go of her. "You shower in my room, I'll shower in the guest room, and then we'll order barbecue together."
Wishing you a happy day!
Shi Jing showered very quickly. When he came over, drying his hair, the sound of running water could still be heard in the bathroom.
He glanced towards the bathroom with a smile, then sat down on the edge of the bed.
Ten minutes later, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and was replaced by the whirring of a hairdryer.
Shi Jing put away her phone, got up, and walked towards the bathroom.
"Knock knock knock—"
He tapped on the bathroom door with his finger, and the sound of the hairdryer stopped instantly.
"Shi Jing?" Zhu Jinzhao called him cautiously.
He responded softly, "It's me. Is Chaochao done washing up?"
Zhu Jinchao: "I've finished washing my hair and I'm blow-drying it."
Shi Jing: "May I come in?"
"..."
Zhu Jinzhao didn't answer, but silently opened the bathroom door.
