Qi Shenbai thought for a moment and said, “In that case, did you and Lu Zhuo kiss?”
Xu Jiaojiao immediately denied it. “No. We were about to get married, so we didn’t even hold hands.”
At the thought of this, Xu Jiaojiao frowned slightly. Suddenly, she remembered something. “Why are you still bringing this up? You claimed my first kiss at the wedding!”
Qi Shenbai raised his eyebrows. Did that light touch really count?
“Since you took away my first kiss, let me pursue you, okay?” Xu Jiaojiao took the opportunity to say. She tilted her head and peeked at Qi Shenbai’s expression, as if she wanted to read his thoughts.
Qi Shenbai’s eyes moved slightly. Sensing Xu Jiaojiao’s gaze, he looked over. The moment their eyes met, Xu Jiaojiao immediately lowered her head guiltily.
Looking at Xu Jiaojiao’s flushed face and careful appearance, Qi Shenbai felt as if a feather was gently stroking his heartstrings, tickling him deep inside.
Suddenly, he wanted to tease her and see how much she actually liked him.
“I remember you said before that I was too old for you. You said you didn’t—”
At the mention of this, Xu Jiaojiao remembered what Qi Shenbai wanted to say and quickly interrupted him, “Back then… We had just met at that time. Besides, you are older than me. That’s a fact.”
Qi Shenbai was amused by Xu Jiaojiao’s self-righteous answer. “So, now that you like me, you don’t think I’m too old anymore?”
Xu Jiaojiao looked at him guiltily and avoided his gaze. After a long struggle, she finally answered honestly, “I don’t think so anymore. If I really like someone from the bottom of my heart, I can ignore these small details or even your identity. 1 like you, so that stuff doesn’t matter anymore.”
Qi Shenbai did not say a word as he quietly looked at Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao’s words — ‘I like you’ — kept echoing in his mind.
His sealed-off heart began to waver. She really seemed to be very different from the other girls.
“Cang Xing, stop the car,” Qi Shenbai suddenly said.
Perhaps due to the suddenness of his command, the car braked abruptly.
Xu Jiaojiao had yet to sober up, so she was caught off guard and her head fell forward.
Qi Shenbai was quick to react. He immediately reached out and pulled Xu Jiaojiao into his arms, his other hand protecting her forehead.
Before Qi Shenbai could say anything, Cang Xing tactfully said that he needed to buy something, then got out of the car and left.
Now, only Qi Shenbai and Xu Jiaojiao were left in the car.
Xu Jiaojiao pressed herself tightly against Qi Shenbai’s chest. She could feel the warmth of his hand on her waist. There seemed to be a woody fragrance on his body that was very pleasant.
“Qi Shenbai, you don’t hate me, right? Let me pursue you.”
Xu Jiaojiao felt as if she had been bewitched, and her voice became soft. In Qi Shenbai’s eyes, she was practically flirting with him.
“You may find me annoying, but I—”
Before she could finish, a warm finger touched her lips. The words stopped at the tip of her tongue and she looked up.
Qi Shenbai was looking at her gently. Xu Jiaojiao blinked innocently, wondering what Qi Shenbai was going to say this time.
Before she could ask, she heard his deep voice.
“Xu Jiaojiao, do you want to kiss me?”
“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao was stunned and did not know how to react.
Qi Shenbai’s fingertips, which were pressed against her thin lips, changed to pinching her small chin. He lowered his head and pressed his lips against her delicate pink lips.
“…” Her clear eyes instantly widened and her mind went blank. Xu Jiaojiao even forgot to breathe.
Qi Shenbai lowered his eyes as if he was dissatisfied with her reaction and deliberately increased his strength.
Their lips intertwined, feeling each other’s breath.
After Xu Jiaojiao regained her senses, she slowly closed her eyes and tried to touch his lips.
In that instant of contact, there seemed to be an electric current flowing between the two of them. At this moment, they understood each other’s intentions, and their chests were filled with happiness.
After a while, Qi Shenbai reluctantly let go of her. His fingertips caressed her delicate red lips as he said in a hoarse voice, “This is our first kiss, understand?”
Xu Jiaojiao’s neck had turned red to the roots of her ears. She slowly opened her eyes, which were filled with emotional affection as she took small breaths.
Qi Shenbai pinched her burning cheeks with his fair fingers and the corners of his lips curled up.
Whatever, he would not be too greedy.
He did not mind that the first man she fell in love with was not him, nor was he desperate to have her express her love for him as passionately as before.
Xu Jiaojiao was wrapped in his arms, and her entire head was dizzy. Her mind kept replaying the scene just now, and her heart inexplicably beat faster.
“Does this mean… 1 have permission to pursue you? Burp…” Xu Jiaojiao suddenly burped and felt extremely awkward. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand..
