Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Only able to kiss Chen Jizhou
When Chen Jizhou arrived early in the morning, Jiang Meng had already finished washing up and was combing her hair with the light on when the doorbell rang.
It was still dark outside, and Jiang Meng hurriedly opened the door.
Chen Jizhou stood at the door, looking a little sleepy, his narrow eyes drooping drowsily. He wasn't particularly energetic, but he didn't show any signs of fatigue. Some people are like that, becoming more beautiful as the night goes on, which is especially enviable. However, Jiang Meng wasn't envious because she was also a first-rate natural beauty.
Chen Jizhou leaned casually against the door, looking down at her.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked casually, his voice low and slightly hoarse.
"And you."
"Well enough."
Jiang Meng walked inside, continued tying her hair in front of the full-length mirror, and said in a loud voice, "Guess how I am?"
She heard a light laugh beside her. The person was still leaning against the door, observing her from a distance, and lazily teased, "Talking to you now feels like playing guerrilla warfare with my mother."
Jiang Meng raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't I learn this from you?"
She tied her hair into a low ponytail, loosened a few strands of hair around the top of her head, glanced at him, and said in a affected tone, "What do you want to hear?"
"They said I wasn't sleeping well, that I kept having dreams, and that I kept dreaming about you. In my dreams you even kissed me, kept kissing me, so you wouldn't play hide-and-seek with me like you do now."
"..."
"Satisfied?"
She really learned his art of speaking to people in a way that suited each individual.
And he remained completely calm and composed.
Chen Jizhou coughed softly, his previously relaxed expression now completely jolted awake.
He turned his back to her, and waited patiently without giving her any expression.
However, Jiang Meng had already figured out this person; he was like this when he was shy.
She leaned back, secretly glancing at his profile, and grinned.
Once outside, Jiang Meng said, "Go downstairs and take a look. Don't drive while you're tired."
"Hmm." He didn't plan to drive.
Do you like watching the sunrise?
Jiang Meng followed him downstairs. Chen Jizhou said, "It's alright. Take a look if you're interested."
Who do you usually spend time with?
"Myself, who else can I rely on?"
After observing his indifferent expression for a moment, Jiang Meng asked, "Do you ever feel lonely?"
Chen Jizhou looked at her and smiled: "Of course you're not here."
"..."
He talks nonsense, and that kind of talk makes it hard for her to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
When they went out, it was already daylight, and the weather was cloudy with a thin layer of clouds.
The viewing platform was packed with people.
Many people bring their equipment to take photos, and some even come here to take wedding photos.
Chen Jizhou was a little annoyed; he hated crowded places.
There were several coffee shops nearby, but they were dark and not yet open. However, a male owner came out of his yard, carrying a mouthwash cup, and squatted by the flower bed brushing his teeth. Chen Jizhou went over to him and asked, "Can I come into your backyard?"
The shop owner wiped his mouth and said, "We haven't opened for business yet."
"I'll leave in a little while and watch the sunrise."
"Okay, come in. There's not much people here yet."
Chen Jizhou nodded: "Thanks."
Jiang Meng followed without any objection. She had initially been a little worried about the view, but once inside, she realized she had worried too much. The courtyard had an iron wall with openwork fencing, so you could see everything. The courtyard was very clean, with some greenery and just three coffee tables. Since they were occupying someone else's space, they still had to take care of the business. Chen Jizhou ordered two glasses of decaffeinated sparkling water, and after he came out, he casually found a soft sofa to sit on.
Jiang Meng wanted to sit with him: "Move over a bit, I can't fit in here."
Chen Jizhou, with his legs spread wide, showed no intention of giving her his seat, and raised his chin: "Aren't there still seats available? Aren't you worried about it being crowded?"
"...?"
It felt so much better after getting out of the crowds.
The sparkling water was served cold. Chen Jizhou, mindful of his health, didn't drink cold things much anymore, so he remained seated. There was a seat next to him, but Jiang Meng didn't sit down. She stood by the fence, looking at the sky. The sun hadn't yet appeared. She stood there quietly for a while. Next to her was a huge clump of banana trees, morning dew dripping from their emerald green leaves, wetting the ground.
Jiang Meng looked up at the sky, and he calmly looked at the back of her round head. The pretty ribbon was tied into a bow, and the vibrant green color did not diminish her girlish charm at all.
He used to secretly watch her when he was in school. He would watch her sit there, reading her idol magazine with great joy, watching her face, which was full of worries and sorrows about life, quickly turn from gloomy to sunny, watching her tears when she couldn't fight against injustice, and watching her eyes smile with surprise when she turned around after noticing him behind her and saw his name.
She is like a glass container that has been drained of water; once everything is released, it remains transparent and bright. She demonstrates her ability to bear the weight of moisture, yet her essence is to embrace all things, living out the bright and cheerful essence of her life.
She no longer speaks of the love she never received, because she no longer desires it.
She no longer subservient to others or cling to unimportant praise, because she has grown up.
Before leaving, he said he hoped she would take good care of herself.
She is really taking it seriously.
Over the years, she has made up for the love he gave up.
Jiang Meng suddenly turned to look at him: "Will you stay here forever?"
Chen Jizhou remained in the same posture, legs spread and leaning back, sitting there leisurely: "Let's see how things go. If things don't look good, I'll quit."
Jiang Meng drew out a long, utterly astonished "Huh—?"
Chen Jizhou said, "Xu Fang wants to open a badminton hall, and he might ask me to be his coach."
"And what about your company?"
"Give it to someone who can take over."
Jiang Meng walked over and, as if criticizing a student, called out his name and vehemently accused him: "Chen Jizhou, you can't act so impulsively."
Chen Jizhou wanted to laugh: "What's wrong with me?"
After her initial shock, she still had some temper left, and just like his mother, she lectured him: "You should think about how to support your family. How much money can a badminton coach make?"
Chen Jizhou hugged the back of his neck and leaned back on the sofa. Seeing her serious and instructive expression, he couldn't help but laugh. His chest trembled slightly, and his eyes crinkled into crescents: "As expected of someone who wants to be a section chief, he's already starting to spit out the stench of money."
Jiang Meng said seriously, "Nonsense, I just used mouthwash, and now my mouth tastes like jasmine."
Jiang Meng was itching to kick him!
She was afraid she wouldn't have time to change her shoes before going out, so she was still wearing the hotel slippers. Now she took off her shoes and went barefoot.
"Chen Jizhou, how can you be so annoying?! You're a scoundrel—"
Chen Jizhou wasn't stupid, and he couldn't just sit there and let her kick him. He instinctively grabbed her ankle to stop her, and Jiang Meng lost her balance and fell into his arms before she could finish speaking.
She didn't know if he had deliberately pulled her into his arms.
Anyway, after Jiang Meng fell, she sat steadily on his lap.
Her nose bumped into his forehead. After the initial shock, her heart was still pounding. Jiang Meng lowered her head, and her nose touched his face again. She quickly pulled away, feeling him support her lower back. She turned her flushed cheek away and didn't look up at him.
In an instant, the shock and anger vanished.
All that remained between their lips was the lingering scent of jasmine.
Amidst her uncontrollable, chaotic fluttering heart, Jiang Meng mustered a bit of composure and looked up into his deep eyes. She was so close that she could see his thick, long eyelashes so clearly for the first time. She whispered, "I don't think I have the right to control you, do I?"
Chen Jizhou steadied her by supporting her waist, helping her sit up more steadily, and said with a half-smile, "You're already sitting down, and you're still saying things like that."
Jiang Meng said, "You'll never find a wife if you keep going like this."
He whispered, "I was wrong."
She said, "You're wrong? I think you're just getting impatient."
He readily admitted, nodding and saying, "I got anxious."
"..."
Chen Jizhou's voice was very low, and it became even lower as he looked down at her: "If you have a wife, you will definitely listen to her."
Jiang Meng wrapped her arms around his neck. She didn't try to get up, and he didn't intend to let her go.
There seems to be some noise outside, complaining about whether there will be a sunrise today.
Phrases like "It was a waste of my early morning time" are used to describe such situations.
In the courtyard, it seemed that no one cared about the sunrise anymore; their eyes were only on each other, completely and savagely occupying all their vision.
After a long silence, Chen Jizhou said, "Before the sun rises, I always feel like I'm dreaming."
"You're still not awake? I'm already awake."
He hummed lazily, "So sleepy."
"Do you dream of a beauty as stunning as me?"
He laughed and said, "Yes."
"Then what are you doing with that beautiful woman?"
Do you want to know?
Jiang Meng held her breath, and out of the corner of her eye, she could see the controlled, gentle rise and fall of her chest.
I never knew being nervous could be so concrete.
“I want to know,” she answered very softly.
Chen Jizhou's cool fingertips pressed against her chin, straightening her face. He turned his head and placed a quiet kiss on her lips.
Both of their lips were warm.
The moment he kissed her, their passion ignited again.
Someone was shouting outside—
"They're out! They're out!"
"So bright, up in the mountains!"
"Look! The mountaintop!"
"..."
A magnificent sunrise unfolds from the horizon and the riverbank, rising and falling, both ends radiant.
Jiang Meng closed her eyes, held Chen Jizhou's face, and placed her palm on his jawbone.
The vibrant glow of the sunset transformed the entire world into a warm, vast ocean.
He gently rubbed and sucked her bright red lips.
Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, its straight rays falling and creasing between the lips, gently crushing and coating the world with layers of scorching heat.
His kiss was brief and shallow.
But it made her very confused.
Jiang Meng found it hard to believe that he had never been in a relationship.
Because everything happened so naturally, so effortlessly, as if it had happened many times before.
The process lasted less than twenty seconds, ending with Jiang Meng bowing her head.
She steadied her breathing and said, "I feel like I'm short of oxygen."
Chen Jizhou wiped her lips and chuckled softly, "Kissing won't make you lack oxygen, are you too nervous?"
"..."
"Are you shy?"
Jiang Meng pursed her lips, glancing at him with lingering affection. Her lips were still burning hot, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, thinking that this kiss also had an expiration date. So she asked him, "Is your one-day couple date calculated in 24 hours?"
Chen Jizhou was taken aback, then laughed in exasperation, raising an eyebrow and saying, "We've already kissed, and you're counting down the days to breaking up with me?"
"..."
"Are you being too rule-abiding, or are you deliberately spoiling my fun?"
Jiang Meng lowered her eyes, so all she could see were his full, glossy lips, which smelled of jasmine and were very sensual.
"you mean?"
Chen Jizhou lifted her chin again, making Jiang Meng look at him: "What I mean is, I want to kiss you every day from now on, not just 24 hours a day."
He had a faint, teasing smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp and fierce, as if he was very dissatisfied with her reminder earlier.
Jiang Meng laughed: "Don't look at me like I've been scummed."
"Didn't I?"
"It's not like I kissed him first."
"good."
He chuckled, and after a while, patted her waist and coaxed her, "Okay, it was my initiative."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
His voice was gentle, like his kisses, possessing a bewitching magic that made it impossible to resist.
"Stay here and be my princess."
Chen Jizhou touched the corner of her mouth and said, "Let's date, Jiang Meng."
She was like a lush banana leaf by the ear, gently soaked by the warm dew.
Her raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled as he confessed his love, her heart pounded and vibrated, like the sound of a mortal falling in love.
She nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Jizhou then took her hand in his, looked into her emotional eyes, slightly restrained himself, and moved his Adam's apple before asking her, "Do you remember the message I sent you yesterday?"
"ah?"
Jiang Meng vaguely remembered which sentence he was referring to.
He stopped being ambiguous, looked into her eyes, and told her, word by word, "From now on, you can only kiss Chen Jizhou."
"Did you understand?"
Jiang Meng was stunned for a moment, then gave a speechless and awkward smile. "That's really awful of you."
Chen Jizhou was utterly wicked in a very open and honest way. He even chuckled, "That's how I am with my girlfriend, really wicked."
This means, "I can't change it, you'll have to adapt."
There was a sound of the door being pushed open outside. Jiang Meng stood up instantly and said warily, "Someone's coming."
Chen Jizhou glanced at the doorway, then at her flushed face: "Are you going back to sleep?"
Jiang Meng: "Now? Right now I probably... can't sleep."
He nodded, stood up, and took her hand: "Let's go to my room."
