Xia Zhichu's body stiffened, and she was about to look up at him, but the man gently wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth.
The atmosphere became tense again because of the man's ambiguous behavior.
Xia Zhichu stared at him blankly, while Si Mochen slowly sat back in his seat, squinting his eyes and looking at her with a faint smile, "Zhichu, you're drooling."
"ah!"
Hearing this, Xia Zhichu immediately came to his senses and quickly reached out to touch the corner of his lips.
And it was this action that directly broke the awkward atmosphere.
Xia Zhichu felt dry and glared at the man in anger, "Si Mochen, you lied to me again!"
She called out Si Mochen as casually as usual, without any sense of embarrassment, but rather expressed her truest emotion.
Si Mochen shrugged innocently, then laughed softly.
The beautiful sound of the violin could not stop the two from fighting and playing in the restaurant, and it ended with Xia Zhichu falling into the man's arms.
Xia Zhichu kept swallowing her saliva, staring at the man's handsome face with a sweet smile on her eyelashes. Slowly, she stretched out her finger and suddenly touched the man's eyebrows.
"Um...Si Mochen, are you..."
Having said this, she hesitated to speak, her cheeks flushed again.
She was still hesitating whether to continue asking when she heard Si Mochen take over her words, "Yes."
Xia Zhichu was stunned, then clenched her fist and gently hit him in the chest, "I haven't even finished speaking, do you know what I want to ask?"
Si Mochen grabbed her fist and pressed it against his chest. His dark eyes were like two balls of fire as he said solemnly, "I know."
"Then what do I want to say?" Xia Zhichu was a little curious. Could it be that this man was the worm in her heart and could know what she was thinking?
However, she didn't expect that the man would tell her through his actions how well they were in tune with each other.
"You want to ask me if I'm in love with you."
He said "love" instead of "like" without hesitation, which surprised Xia Zhichu.
Before I could think about it, the man's sweet words came flooding back, "When I first saw you, you were wearing a white ruffled skirt, with your long straight black hair tied into a ponytail, and you were standing at the school gate with a suitcase. When I passed by you, the first words you said to me were:
Classmate, where are you going in your first three years of high school? Back then, your innocent, pure eyes were filled with helplessness, and that plucked my heartstrings. I was drawn to you, and even tried everything I could to transfer to your class, so we could sit in front of each other.
Si Mochen talked about the past with a smile on his face, but his eyes looked at Xia Zhichu even more passionately.
Xia Zhichu recalled the past, but her memory had already become fuzzy. She didn't expect Si Mochen to still remember it so clearly.
In an instant, her heart seemed to be touched by a hand. She looked at Si Mochen in great surprise, her innocent eyes flashing with expectation, wanting to hear what he would say next.
Si Mochen did as he wished and continued, "I like teasing you just to get your attention, but you're such an ungrateful woman that you've repeatedly gone to the class teacher to complain. As a result, standing or running around the playground as punishment is inevitable."
Having said that, Si Mochen sighed deeply and looked at Xia Zhichu innocently and aggrieved.
Xia Zhichu was overjoyed by his gaze. She had no idea there was such a story behind their acquaintance. She placed her chin on her hands in a serious tone and continued to ask, "So what's next?"
Si Mochen tapped her nose and stopped talking. "If you want to know, give up the thought of leaving me and stay with me. I will tell you in detail."
The love words came unexpectedly, leaving Xia Zhichu stunned again.
When she realized that the man was indirectly confessing his love for her, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do, and her first reaction was to get off him.
However, Si Mochen didn't give her a chance at all. He grabbed her waist, stared deep into her eyes, and said seriously, "My family background may have been a burden to you, but Zhichu, I have never lied to you from beginning to end. Everything I have now was created by myself. As for that family, it has nothing to do with me."
"The person you will marry in the future is me, Si Mochen, not my family background."
He emphasized the last sentence.
Xia Zhichu was extremely nervous. When Si Mochen was gentle, it was hard to resist, but when he was domineering, there was no escape.
Because she was sitting on him, her entire body pressed tightly against him, Xia Zhichu felt so nervous that she was suffocating and even felt the air was thinner.
She didn't dare look directly into the man's eyes and could only glance around, but unexpectedly found that the man playing the violin sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window was gone.
No wonder she hadn't heard any sound just now.
But when did they leave?
The answer is that when Xia Zhichu asked Si Mochen if he liked her, Si Mochen signaled them to leave with his eyes. Those people were all high-end talents who had received professional training, and they were naturally very perceptive. They disappeared silently in a few seconds.
"I'm full, why don't we go home?"
Xia Zhichu couldn't stand the man's flirting like this and just wanted to leave here quickly.
However, Si Mochen did not intend to let her go. Going home now meant separation, and he was tired of the feeling of having to leave after only a few hours of being together.
This made him feel suffocated!
"Sit down for a while."
This restaurant is his territory, and there is no way those tails can catch up with him.
But it was different when he returned home. The Royal Garden was surrounded by spies sent by the old man. As long as he appeared, he would be under surveillance.
Last night, Chen Qin met with Xia Zhichu privately. Although she did not make things difficult for Xia Zhichu, if Grandpa had personally stepped in, things would definitely not be so peaceful.
Therefore, he didn't want anything to go wrong in these last ten days!
"You can sit down, but you have to let me go first. It's easy for something to happen if a man and a woman are alone together in this kind of situation, and so close to each other." Xia Zhichu was so nervous that she was incoherent, especially when she noticed that Si Mochen was acting abnormally. She felt like she was going to burn to a pulp.
Si Mochen didn't agree with her, hugged her tighter, and even kissed her hard on the face.
"You are my wife, it's not natural for you to take things for granted when something happens?"
Originally, Xia Zhichu was quite thick-skinned, but when faced with a demon like Si Mochen saying sweet words, he was completely helpless.
Her face flushed as she angrily said to the man, "Don't do anything rash. We have an agreement that we can't do anything excessive during the trial marriage."
Those rules and regulations were set by Xia Zhichu. She thought Si Mochen might have forgotten them, so she reminded him again.
