Xing Haodong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He put the deposit slip in the passbook, pushed it towards her, and then solemnly held her hand.
"Actually, I remembered you the first time I met you in Jiangjiatun... I've never seen a girl holding an iron nail and trying to stand up to tomb robbers. At that time, a ray of moonlight happened to fall from the treetops and hit the back of your hand."
As he spoke, he rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
Rub back and forth along the blue veins of the blood vessels with the calloused fingertips.
Jiang Mingxin felt a little pain, but didn't say anything.
"The second time was at the entrance of Zhenbaozhai. You were harassed by two thugs and the back of your hand was accidentally scratched. Although there was no bleeding, the wound was long and thin but very eye-catching. At that moment, I suddenly remembered the camellia in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" that scratched the beautiful woman's face."
Jiang Mingxin opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Then Xing Haodong continued, "She was incredibly beautiful. It felt unreal to me. At the time, I really thought I was a hero saving a beautiful woman. You hid behind me and shamelessly called me..."
Jiang Mingxin turned his face away in embarrassment, hesitating, and couldn't utter those two words.
When they were still strangers, she could take advantage of him unscrupulously and call him "husband" in a coquettish way. Now that they really have feelings for each other, there are some things she can't say.
A faint smile appeared on Xing Haodong's lips, three parts helplessness and seven parts doting.
"The third time was because it was raining. I was sitting in the car and saw you getting drenched like a drowned rat. You looked both pitiful and... beautiful. I didn't want to get out of the car, but by the time I realized what was happening, I was already running towards you with my raincoat in hand."
"Actually, I was pretty upset those days because Gu Mingfeng was bragging to everyone at the banquet, saying how beautiful his girlfriend was. Everyone had seen your photo, including me, of course. I was like, you really can't trust beautiful women. You're clearly engaged, yet you're still flirting with me on the street."
Jiang Mingxin rolled his eyes immediately. "Bah, who's flirting with you? Does looking at you any longer mean I'm seducing you? Why are you men so shameless?"
Xing Haodong chuckled helplessly, "Yes, I'm shameless. I was tempted by your beauty. I swore I would never like beautiful women in my life, but I fell in love with you. I even insisted on putting the blame on you, thinking that you seduced me on purpose."
Seeing him admit his mistake so openly, Jiang Mingxin felt uncomfortable.
"Since you've made such a serious oath, you'd better not like me anymore. I can't bear such a heavy responsibility."
Xing Haodong immediately raised his left hand and slapped himself on the cheek three times slowly and forcefully.
The crisp sound was extremely loud.
"Then I figured it out. This was clearly my own fault. How could I blame you? It's not like I didn't struggle, I just couldn't hold on. How could I, a man trained to resist torture, fall for you? Telling this to anyone...it's embarrassing."
Jiang Mingxin looked at his slightly red cheeks, feeling distressed and wanting to laugh. Finally, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
"Have you never heard that a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman? If I were a spy, Comrade Xing Haodong, you would have one foot in prison right now."
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the car changed from serious to relaxed in an instant.
Xing Haodong smiled helplessly. "You may be a bit cunning, a bit greedy, and hate evil and are vindictive, but you are definitely not a spy. Besides, how could your background and experience escape my eyes?"
"Hey, you even specially investigated my background. What have I done to deserve such a big fuss from Captain Xing, Chief Xing?" Jiang Mingxin couldn't help but say something in a cryptic way.
Xing Haodong held her hand tighter, and this time, he looked directly into her eyes.
"Comrade Jiang Mingxin, I know the order of these words is a bit reversed now, but I still want to ask sincerely, with the purpose of marriage, are you willing to date me?"
Jiang Mingxin said without hesitation: "No."
……ah?
Xing Haodong was a little confused.
After the intense embarrassment, he immediately fell into a state of confused anger.
"If you didn't want to, why didn't you refuse me when I forced a kiss on you just now?"
Jiang Mingxin pursed her lips and said frivolously, "Because I feel comfortable. I don't find it disgusting when you kiss me, so I didn't push you away."
"You!" Xing Haodong's face turned pale. He immediately let go of her hand and clenched his fist.
"Just because of this? If another man could kiss you comfortably, you wouldn't push him away?"
"How is that possible? So far, I've only let you, a man, get close to me."
Seeing that he was really angry, Jiang Mingxin moved closer, raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't you say I'm vindictive? You already forced a kiss on me, and you won't let me tease you once, you stingy bastard."
Xing Haodong gritted his teeth, his mind a mess. "So what do you mean?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet." Jiang Mingxin reached out and pinched his arm. "Maybe after I get some sleep, I'll think it over."
"Okay, let's go to bed now..."
As soon as these words came out, Xing Haodong's face immediately turned red, and he almost collapsed, "No, that's not right, you go to bed first."
Jiang Mingxin held her stomach and laughed: "Why are you so anxious? It hasn't come to that yet."
"It's all because of you." Xing Haodong glanced back fiercely, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. But when his gaze fell on her face, he softened unconsciously. "You keep torturing me, and you'll get what you deserve sooner or later."
