"Su Shenglin... um, no—be careful someone comes in..." After all, they were in a restaurant, not a private place.
"Don't worry, no one will come in..." he whispered, then the kiss became even more tender.
Then I remembered that he had told the manager not to come in without being notified.
I was startled and suddenly panicked.
What if he starts doing something inappropriate while kissing me...?
Especially when the two of us were embracing face to face, and I was sitting in his lap, I could clearly feel his physical reaction.
I backed away and shoved him aside: "Su Shenglin, you—"
"Wanwan... what are you afraid of..." His gaze was deep, reflecting the light above his head, which was faint and confusing.
He saw right through my worries.
"I--"
"Am I really that unreliable?" He curled his lips into a wicked smile, his eyes revealing no attempt to hide his true feelings. "While I might want to, it wouldn't be to the point of being inconsiderate..."
So he knew everything.
My face flushed red, my heart raced, and I stared into his deep, captivating eyes, speechless.
Their eyes met, he smiled slightly, and then leaned down to kiss her.
This time I had no excuse to escape, so I could only hold onto his clothes tightly and let him kiss me to his heart's content.
I think if this can appease him, it's not bad.
I don't know how much time passed, but I felt my lips were dry from all the kissing. I turned my head slightly and glanced at him: "Is that enough..."
When I opened my mouth, I realized my voice was a little hoarse, which made me even more embarrassed.
He did indeed smile, showing no trace of his earlier anger.
"Don't look at me like that, like an innocent, obedient kitten, or I'll lose control again later." He stared at me, and his words made me feel like I was on fire.
I immediately glared at him fiercely.
He laughed even harder.
I remained seated in his lap and asked, somewhat annoyed, "Aren't you angry now?"
"I'm still a little bit angry. If you kiss me again, I'll be completely over it."
I deliberately gave a cold laugh: "Then keep being angry."
I got up to get down, but he held me tightly around the waist with both hands and wouldn't let go.
The temperature in the private room was just right, so we took off our coats as soon as we came in.
I was wearing a fitted wool sweater that perfectly accentuated my figure.
He put his arm around my waist, spread his arms and gestured, "So thin... I could pinch it in one hand."
"That's an exaggeration. You're making me sound like a demon." Only the demons in Journey to the West have waists as slender as willows, so small you could grab one with your hand.
"You are a fairy. If you weren't a fairy, how could you have bewitched people for so many years?"
"..." I was speechless. Looking into his deep, smiling eyes, a jumble of emotions swept through my mind.
What exactly does he like about me?
I've liked it for so many years.
I wanted to ask, but I was also afraid that the answer I would receive would make me increasingly overwhelmed.
I secretly hoped that his feelings for me were just a passing fancy, a man's desire to conquer a woman, a momentary infatuation with beauty and sex appeal.
I hope that once the novelty wears off, once he's won me over, once he's immune to my beauty and sex appeal—then he'll take back his love, and we can part ways amicably.
Therefore, I dare not ask such profound questions; only by not knowing can I avoid getting so deeply involved.
In the silence, I yawned, leaned over his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "I ate too much and didn't take a nap, so I'm really sleepy now..."
"Shall I take you back to sleep?" he whispered in my ear.
I really want to go back to sleep.
But I thought that if a man and a woman were alone together, whether they went back to his place or mine, once they were in a private space, things would definitely get out of hand.
Besides, I don't want to move at all right now.
So I snuggled even closer into his arms, finding a comfortable position, "No, I'll sleep here...you hold me while I sleep—"
"Wanwan, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"Intentionally what?"
"You deliberately flirted with me, and you even chose a place like this, so I can't do anything to you."
You're overthinking it.
"Is that so..."
I was in a daze, and my consciousness was starting to fade.
Just before I completely lost consciousness, I felt him lower his head and kiss my lips again, then turn slightly so that I could lie down completely in his arms.
During that time, it seemed like someone came in. I heard him speaking very softly to someone, and his chest and abdomen were vibrating. Then the surroundings fell completely silent again.
I didn't sleep for very long.
About half an hour later, I woke up, feeling much more awake and clear-headed.
After we left the restaurant, Su Shenglin arranged for other people to drive my car away, and he pulled me into his car.
"Where are we going?" I asked curiously, it was already past four o'clock.
"Today is the eve of the Lunar New Year. There's a gathering tonight, so I'll go and join the fun."
I was startled, only then realizing that today is already the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month.
"I don't know any of your friends well, will it be okay if I go..."
