"Okay." Shi Jing pinched her cheek. "I'll have someone buy a new phone now and have it delivered directly to my home."
"Mmm!" Zhu Jinzhao tilted her head slightly and gently rubbed her cheek against Shi Jing's palm. "Thank you, Shi Jing."
Shi Jing: "You can't say thank you to me."
Zhu Jinchao: "Then I won't say thank you, I'll say I love you."
Shi Jing was in a good mood after being coaxed by her, and the fierceness in his eyes dissipated considerably: "I love you too."
"Ugh~~" Jiang Jingwen rubbed her arms and turned her head to look over, her face full of disgust. "I'm still here. Can you two at least consider the feelings of a single dog when you're showing off your love?"
"A single dog?" Shi Jing laughed. "Little Jiang, you can be single anytime you want. My good buddy Xie Lang's feelings for you are so obvious, you didn't even realize it?"
"..."
Upon hearing Xie Lang's name, both Jiang Jingwen and Zhu Jinzhao's expressions changed simultaneously.
"...Hmph." Jiang Jingwen gave a cryptic laugh, abruptly changing the subject. "It's getting late, you two should go home and be all lovey-dovey. I'll get off the bus myself in a bit, you don't need to take me home."
"Huh?" Shi Jing looked at her in confusion. "You're going home? Aren't you going to eat with us?"
"I'm not eating anymore." Jiang Jingwen grabbed Zhu Jinchao's hand, her fingers unconsciously pinching her fingers. "They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. You two haven't seen each other for so long, you definitely need some private space to spend time together. Although I also want to talk to Chaochao, I'm not an unreasonable person."
"You two can eat dinner by yourselves. I'll come find you another day."
"Alright." These words were exactly what Shi Jing wanted to hear. "Since Xiao Jiang has said so, then Chao Chao and I will not let you down."
Jiang Jingwen rolled her eyes silently: "Look at your smug face... Hurry up and drive, I have an appointment to get my hair done."
Shi Jing bowed slightly, like a lackey, and said to Jiang Jingwen, "Yes, Miss Jiang, I'll drive you to the hair salon right away!"
Jiang Jingwen: "...Are you sick?"
Shi Jing ignored her and happily went to drive the car.
"Chao Chao, what are your plans for dealing with Zhu Xingye?"
Before Jiang Jingwen got out of the car, Shi Jing quickly brought up the issue.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingwen subconsciously turned to look at Zhu Jinzhao, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Hmm..." Zhu Jinzhao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's discuss this issue tomorrow. I'm a little tired today and don't really want to talk about these things."
"Okay." Shi Jing didn't think much of it, assuming that she genuinely didn't want to mention those annoying people.
"If Chaochao doesn't want to talk about it, then we don't want to talk about it either."
"Mm." Zhu Jinzhao nodded, trying to keep her expression natural.
Jiang Jingwen got off the bus at an intersection. After she left, Zhu Jinzhao sat in the passenger seat.
"Shi Jing, it seems like you can't hold hands while driving," she asked, knowing the answer already.
Shi Jing freed one hand to pat her head, then quickly withdrew it: "That's right, you need to hold the steering wheel with both hands while driving, you can't secretly hold hands."
"Oh." Zhu Jinzhao pouted, looking somewhat disappointed.
Shi Jing: "What's wrong? Baby, do you want to hold my hand?"
"Yes." Zhu Jinzhao made no attempt to hide her longing. "I want to hold your hand, I want to hold it forever, and never let go."
"Hmph..." Shi Jing smiled so much that her eyes crinkled. "Chao Chao, be good. We'll hold hands when we get home."
“…Okay.” Zhu Jinzhao suppressed the sadness in her heart and tried to appear indifferent. “Then drive carefully, and we’ll take our time when we get home.”
Shi Jing: "That's right. We'll have plenty of opportunities to hold hands in the future. Right now, we should focus on driving and get home safely."
"Hmm." Zhu Jinzhao lowered her head, pretending to rub her eyes casually, and hurriedly wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
When I got back to the Shi family home, it was already 6:30 pm.
The servants had just finished preparing dinner when Zhu Jinzhao and Shi Jing returned home and immediately began to enjoy the steaming hot meal.
"Chao Chao, eat more shrimp."
"The oysters were just air-freighted in, they're very fresh, eat as many as you want."
"This soy sauce chicken tastes good. I gave all the chicken legs and wings to Chaochao."
Shi Jing hurriedly ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice and then kept piling food onto Zhu Jinzhao's plate. Zhu Jinzhao's bowl was piled full until it was completely full, at which point he reluctantly stopped.
"Eat first, and I'll get you more food after you finish."
Zhu Jinchao obediently replied, "Okay."
But actually, there was already enough food in the bowl, and if Shi Jing put more on her plate, she definitely wouldn't be able to eat anymore. But when she looked down and saw the shrimp that Shi Jing had peeled and the skinless chicken meat in the bowl, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She may have many more meals to eat in the future, but this is the last time Shi Jing will personally serve her food.
She dared not refuse, nor could she bear to refuse.
She picked up the shrimp that Shi Jing had peeled for her, stuffed it into her mouth, and slowly chewed it along with her tears.
"Is it delicious?" Shi Jing tilted his head slightly and asked her with a smile.
"...Mmm." She forced back a sob and nodded with a smile. "It's delicious. As long as I can eat with you, anything tastes good."
"Oh, you have such a sweet tongue!" Shi Jing was overjoyed by her flattery, and his sharp eyes sparkled with laughter.
Zhu Jinzhao strained to open her eyes wide, trying not to let the tears well up in her eyes: "Yes."
Shi Jing was captivated by her obedient appearance and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, reach out and pinch her chin, then lean down and kiss her lips several times.
"Mmm..." After the kiss, he closed his eyes comfortably and said with satisfaction, "It really is sweet."
"Hehe..." Zhu Jinzhao looked at him and smiled, almost eagerly wanting to firmly imprint his spirited appearance into her mind.
Sadly, the more she tried to remember, the more blurred Shi Jing's image became in her mind.
She panicked a little.
"Shi Jing, let's take a picture together?" She quickly put down her chopsticks, picked up her new phone from the table, and said to Shi Jing casually.
"Okay," Shi Jing agreed first, then asked, "Why did Chaochao suddenly want to take pictures?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "It's not sudden. I've actually wanted to take a picture with you for a long time, but I just haven't found the opportunity."
"Today is a good day. I suddenly remembered this and couldn't wait to take a picture with you."
"Okay." Shi Jing put his hand on her shoulder and gave a cool peace sign to the phone camera.
Zhu Jinzhao took a deep breath, flashed a sweet smile at the camera, and immediately pressed the shutter.
"Snap!"
She remembered Shi Jing's most spirited and triumphant appearance forever.
"Chaochao took such a beautiful picture." Shi Jing admired the photo, liking it more and more with each look. "No, I have to have this photo developed tomorrow, then put it in a frame and place it by my bedside!"
"That way, I can see the adorable Chaochao as soon as I open my eyes every day!"
“…Okay.” Zhu Jinzhao agreed, suppressing her heartache. “As long as you’re happy, you can do whatever you want.”
