Chapter 16
Zhao Shuming had several scars on his hands, two of which were due to knife wounds left by careless cooking, and the rest was a palm-width scar on his left arm, one palm-width away from the artery.
The shape of the scar is a bit strange, round, and the proliferation of scars from knife wounds looks not quite the same, the slight pigmentation formed marks on his arm looks particularly abrupt, not at all good-looking.
The scar could have been removed with current medical methods, but Zhao Shuming loved it.
Jiang Yimiao’s teeth certainly weren’t enough to leave a scar on his hand.
However, Zhao Shuming had deepened the wound every time she bit his arm, following the traces left by her teeth over and over again.
This way the mark she left on herself could be engraved on his hand forever.
Zhao Shuming’s arm was still hot, and when Jiang Yimiao lowered her head to get closer, she felt a circle of hot air with a fresh scent floating on her face, not knowing which tooth had touched the skin of his arm first.
He squatted in front of her and smiled gently, seeing Jiang Yimiao’s soft lips touching his arm, and then it was her number three tooth, the sharp tiger tooth, that first touched his arm.
Biting down, just like when she was a child, she would bite him whenever she wanted to.
Jiang Yimiao’s eyes, however, snapped open, the double row of teeth just lightly touched, and before she could bite down with any force, she completely pushed Zhao Shuming’s arm away, and Zhao Shuming’s arm fell out of her hands.
She shook her head and said, “No no no!”
Ignoring the somewhat stunned expression on Zhao Shuming’s face, Jiang Yimiao stood up from the sofa in a flash and flew over in the direction of the bedroom.
He looked down at his arm, which had already received a very light mark, and stood up to follow her.
Jiang Yimiao’s head was still a little dizzy, she quickly took out the box containing the bite gums from the drawer, and after taking out the bite gums, she fell onto her bed, with the soft quilt underneath her.
She busily stuffed the bite gum into her mouth, and both her left and right big teeth crushed the bite gum with great force, her teeth finally bit into a tough object, and Jiang Yimiao instantly felt more comfortable.
Because of her over-excited emotions, Jiang Yimiao’s mind was a little confused for a moment, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t think at all. She grabbed the doll’s small hand and wondered why in the world she had listened to Zhao Shuming’s words like that! How could she bite him? She wasn’t a child anymore.
Although he looked delicious in front of her eyes at the time, it didn’t mean that she really wanted to bite ah.
Even the words Zhao Shuming had just said were probably just polite words.
Jiang Yimiao closed her eyes with some chagrin and rolled hard on the bed several times, she felt her brain getting a little hot, along with her face feeling a little swollen and hot.
When she reopened her eyes, Zhao Shuming was right in front of her looking straight at her.
“How did you …… come in as well, Jiang Yimiao’s words were stuck in her throat and couldn’t be said.
He glanced at the bite gum she was clutching in her hand and took two more, biting one on each side of her teeth.
“Miao Miao, are you okay?”
“I’m okay.” Jiang Yimiao crawled out of bed in a single bound and got up to wrap the bite gums in paper towels.
“Why didn’t you continue biting? Obviously a bite would have been more comfortable.”
She used to clearly bite down very hard and really bite on it leaving a circle of marks.
Zhao Shuming’s fingertips gently touched the scar on his arm, unable to hide the look of regret on his face.
What Jiang Yimiao really wanted to bite when she had an attack was actually the object that caused her to have an attack, and the biting gel was only used as an external object that could temporarily relieve her discomfort.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bitten Zhao Shuming so many times when she was a child.
She frowned and looked at Zhao Shuming with a strange look, somehow seeing a hint of helplessness in his expression, “It’s not like I’m a puppy, I can’t really bite people.”
“But Miao Miao, don’t you want to bite?” Zhao Shuming didn’t know why she was restraining such emotions, why she couldn’t bite him.
He had already lured her forward one step at a time, had already allowed her to press her teeth clearly into the skin of his arm.
Jiang Yimiao glanced at his arm, “Want to bite …… but, but I’m not a child, how can I still be as capricious as before ah.”
She sometimes wanted to bite her dolls, and she didn’t really put her mouth on them, every time she took it out on her biting rubber, and she had already bitten off multiple ones just from the biting rubber alone.
Zhao Shuming was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Yimiao’s serious expression, he realized that he was a little too hasty, the current Jiang Yimiao was far less close to him than she was when she was a child, so naturally she couldn’t comfortably accept to use her mouth to bite him directly. Bite him.
But he was relieved that Jiang Yimiao was not unwilling to bite him because she didn’t like him.
Jiang Yimiao sat on the bed and scooted over, coming closer to look at Zhao Shuming’s arm, she touched the spot where the scar was, “I didn’t dirty your arm just now, did I?”
“No, it’s okay.” He glanced at the apron, “Is it because wearing an apron makes you see uncomfortable, or else I’ll change the apron?” Zhao Shuming asked knowingly.
Jiang Yimiao hurriedly waved her hand, “No, no, it’s probably because I’ve been working all day, and I suddenly had an attack when I was a bit dizzy and lightheaded in the middle of the night… …”
In fact, Jiang Yimiao herself couldn’t tell why she suddenly felt that Zhao Shuming looked a bit cute, when she was young, he looked white and clean, with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, so he naturally looked cute. But now he looked like a mature man, and the word “cute” didn’t even come close.
Zhao Shuming looked deeply at her, her breathing had calmed down and her hands weren’t trembling anymore. She should have slowed down by now, and her brain’s emotional regulation was in a more peaceful state.
He smiled but said in a non-serious tone, “Miao Miao, have you ever thought about ‘curing’ this strange disease of yours?”
Zhao Shuming stood up from the edge of the bed and sat on the chair at her dressing table.
“Cure? But isn’t it incurable, after all, the doctors can’t say what kind of disease it is.”
Jiang Yimiao sat cross-legged and touched her neck, “And it’s been like this for twenty years, I’m used to it.”
“I’ve noticed that you’ve always completely avoided touching cute things, except for this doll in your hand. It also looks like you’ve resisted it every time you’ve had an unintentional attack.”
He said as he slowly and methodically untied the apron he was wearing and folded it on the table.
“But that’s all I can do eh.” She let out a sigh.
Although this so-called strange disease didn’t affect her IQ or Jiang Yimiao’s normal life, it actually caused her a lot of inconvenience.
She was obviously a person who loved cute objects, but she had gradually brainwashed herself into disliking them, but could anyone in the world really refuse cute lovable things?
“I have an idea, while it may not completely ‘cure’ this strange condition of yours, it may raise the threshold of your onset and not be as prone to it, or perhaps it may lower the the intensity of your reaction.”
“What do you mean?” She straightened her back, like a child in first grade listening attentively to a lesson. She almost forgot that Zhao Shuming was clearly an insider as well.
“River, I don’t know if you’ve heard of desensitization therapy?”
Desensitization therapy is a method of immunotherapy, in which the human body is exposed to a low titer of allergen stimulus to produce certain antibodies, and then the titer of the allergen stimulus is increased, so that the antigen and antibody bind to a certain degree, and when the allergen enters the human body again, it will not produce an allergic reaction. When the allergen enters the body again, no allergic reaction will occur.
Jiang Yimiao has heard of this treatment, she had a roommate in middle school who was allergic to seafood, but not a very serious kind, she would not intentionally avoid eating seafood, instead, she usually She would not deliberately avoid eating seafood, but instead would usually contact a little seafood, saying that such frequent contact and eating more seafood may desensitize the body.
In psychology, there is a therapy called systematic desensitization, often used in the treatment of anxiety disorders and phobias.
This treatment method is to let the patient to receive the negative emotions that can not bear before, through the state of psychological relaxation against anxiety and fear of emotion, thus reducing the intensity of the patient’s anxiety and fear of reaction.
Can Jiang Yimiao’s bimodal expression of emotions caused by facing cute things be alleviated through a similar desensitization treatment?
For example, facing the cute dolls and kittens and puppies directly instead of deliberately avoiding suppressing their emotions.
“Seeing those cute things, biting or ravishing . Ravage it, face your emotions head on, and after constantly regulating them, your emotional feedback towards cute things again might not be so intense.”
Jiang Yimiao blinked, “Seems reasonable eh.”
All along, Jiang Yimiao believed that avoidance was shameful but useful, and other than secretly watching cute pet videos at night before bedtime while hugging her dolls, she had always deliberately avoided her contact with cute things as a way to prevent herself from having an attack.
“So what should I do?” Exposed to new things, Jiang Yimiao rose to the occasion, her eyes looking exceptionally bright in the light of the room.
Unlike Zhao Shuming’s eyes, the pupils of her eyes were a lighter brown color, and were even more clear and showy in the light.
Zhao Shuming lowered his head again to glance at the hidden scar.
“Miao Miao, I think you can try touching cute things more often, don’t be afraid even if you have an attack, and don’t restrain yourself if you want to pinch or bite or scratch. You can also ask me for help with anything you need.”
He paused, “I will always be with you, don’t worry.”
Jiang Yimiao nodded thoughtfully, “Then is this considered us doing counseling or psychotherapy?”
Although Jiang Yimiao had gone to a psychiatric clinic because of this strange disease, she was essentially a very healthy person, and after learning that it wasn’t a real disease, she never went to a psychiatric clinic again, and had even less of an understanding.
“No.” Zhao Shuming decisively denied, “We can’t establish a counseling relationship in this kind of relationship.”
Jiang Yimiao blinked, under the impression that she seemed to have heard a saying that a counselor couldn’t help her friend with counseling, and she nodded somewhat woodenly.
“And this isn’t a disease you have, it’s just an emotional conditioning of the brain, for example, in Filipino, there’s even a word for it, gigil, which refers to the fact that when people see something unbearably cute they will gnash their teeth or want to pinch and squeeze. So it’s a very common emotion for humans.”
Zhao Shuming of course knew that he wasn’t in the traditional sense of counseling with Jiang Yimiao right now, much less psychotherapy, so it was necessary for him to explain.
“But Miao Miao, your case is slightly special, your cute aggression is a bit more extreme than regular people like us.”
Cute aggression was a complex and multifaceted emotional response that was related to the neural mechanisms of emotional salience and reward processing.
And although Jiang Yimiao would show aggression towards cute things, she didn’t actually cause damage, it wasn’t really a mental illness.
“So I’m just acting as a friend with some theoretical knowledge base, going to feed back what I know to help you try to regulate your emotions, is that okay to understand?” Zhao Shuming asked somewhat cautiously.
In every sense of the word, Zhao Shuming was just trying to face this overwhelming emotion with Jiang Yimiao, not considered psychotherapy.
Jiang Yimiao looked at him and remembered that Zhao Shuming seemed to have two pairs of glasses.
The pair he was wearing now were black half-rimmed metal glasses, and he really looked like a teacher in a lecture.
“Hm..! I see.” She nodded very seriously, as if she was preparing for a very serious academic project.
“So what should we do in the first step?” Jiang Yimiao lowered her head and pinched the doll’s stomach.
Zhao Shuming followed the movement of her hand and looked at the doll rubbed in her hands and smiled, “Miao Miao, are you free on the weekend, let’s take a trip out.”
One of the benefits of living in the city center was that all the major brand stores could be found, even the large shopping malls were countless.
There’s a brand that specializes in plush dolls, and there are specialty stores for this brand in several of the big supermarkets in South City.
This brand also specializes in baby soothing doll series, this material doll can be imported into the mouth to bite, will not cause harm to the human body.
It is very suitable for the current Jiang Yimiao.
When Jiang Yimiao was a baby, there were actually a lot of dolls at home. But when she grew up and realized that she had this strange disease, she took the initiative to throw away all the dolls, and gave some of them to her cousins when they were still new.
In the end, the only doll left in the house was the one given to her by Zhao Shuming.
Zhao Shuming felt that she could buy a few more dolls to vent her emotions.
After all, she actually liked soft and cute things like dolls, and dolls didn’t know how to hurt, so it didn’t matter how they were pinched.
“Miao Miao, if you’re uncomfortable, just talk to me. Or you can just grab my arm.” Zhao Shuming lifted his hand and placed it in front of her, “It’s okay to grab it hard.”
“It’s fine, there shouldn’t be any big problems.” The big deal is just seeing those plush dolls being so cute that they want to bite them off.
“But there are so many people today.” Jiang Yimiao swept around, not expecting the store to be so crowded, and there was still a line over at the cash register.
“June 1st Children’s Day?” The surroundings looked like either students or parents with children, Zhao Shuming went into the store with her next to her.
“But hasn’t June 1 Children’s Day been over for a while?” Jiang Yimiao couldn’t recall any recent festivals.
However, on second thought, nowadays, there are 365 days in a year, almost every month can come up with some reasons for shopping festivals, e-commerce business is grabbing blood, consumer discounts are counting dizzily, maybe there is something related to shopping festivals recently. Festival-related activities.
“This week seems to be the anniversary of this brand’s inception.” Zhao Shuming looked up and eyed the words on the store’s billboard.
“Oh, no wonder.” Jiang Yimiao nodded her head and said with some excitement, “Let’s see if there are any special offers!”
From time to time, she would fall into the consumer trap, her eyes glowing at the mention of a discount, but her sanity often pulled her back once she added things to her shopping cart.
The shelves were densely packed, with all sorts of dolls displayed on them, causing the aisles to be small, which made them even more crowded when there were more people.
Zhao Shuming stood a little behind her, helping her block the surrounding crowd and allowing her to walk forward more safely.
“Miao Miao, take a look and see if there are any dolls that you find particularly cute.”
“I feel as if they’re all cute eh!” Jiang Yimiao reached out and touched them, she didn’t like very large dolls, but rather preferred the kind of dolls that were just right to hold in her arms.
“Just buy them all home whichever you like, the house is empty anyway, it’s time to put something to fill it up.”
Jiang Yimiao held up a doll in the shape of an omelette, “Look at its flatness, its expression is so dull and cute.”
She liked dolls with expressions that looked dull, smiling ones instead didn’t strike her as cute.
There were some people around, Jiang Yimiao was distracted and her emotions didn’t get out of control so easily. Although she wanted to pinch the doll, she didn’t have a strong desire to eat the doll, which meant that her strange disease hadn’t kicked in.
“Then let’s take it home.” Zhao Shuming and Jiang Yimiao wandered all over the store, carefully selecting a basket of dolls, from ordinary plush dolls to soothing dolls.
The line at their checkout was still long, and the two stood side by side.
“So cute, so cute.” Jiang Yimiao muttered, smoothly sticking her hand into the basket and pinching it carelessly.
“Miao Miao, be careful.” Zhao Shuming suddenly turned around and held her other hand as two half-height children jostled past her, the children didn’t have eyes in their backs and crashed straight into Jiang Yimiao’s direction.
Jiang Yimiao instantly lost her center of gravity and leaned on Zhao Shuming’s body. The two children shouted “sorry” and noisily walked away again. The two children shouted “sorry” and noisily went somewhere else.
“Almost bumped into you.” He looked at the children’s backs.
“It’s okay.” Jiang Yimiao helped his arm to stand still, her surroundings were again covered by the scent of his body, the same scent she smelled when she first hugged him, very fragrant but gentle.
She suddenly came closer and sniffed, “Your shower gel leaves a good scent, why does it still smell so good now?” She looked down and sniffed herself again, “I wouldn’t have smelled on me, it’s like the only smell is that of clothes laundry detergent.”
“Very fragrant?” Zhao Shuming put on an expression of not knowing what to think, and lowered his head to pretend to smell himself, “I may have adapted my sense of smell, I don’t feel much.”
She stood on her tiptoes and sniffed again near his neck, “Yeah, it smells good.” Jiang Yimiao said and poked his arm, “It’s our turn to check out.”
Zhao Shuming raised his head and busied himself with a few steps forward, his ears reddened by her.
On the contrary, Jiang Yimiao was completely unaware of how provocative her movements were to him, and as she moved closer towards his body, he could also feel the scent of her body.
Finally coming out of the store, Jiang Yimiao let out a breath.
“Wait, wait a moment, Zhao Shuming how did you pay me.” She grabbed his sleeve and pulled out her cell phone as an afterthought.
“It’s okay, the only doll you had before was from me, let me give you all the dolls in the future.” He carried the packaged doll, “And with the relationship between the two of us, do we have to care about this?”
Zhao Shuming looked at her with a smile, money is the simplest and most direct substance that can give human beings a sense of security, anyway, all the money in the future will be given to her, so how could he care about this.
“Oh, oh.” Jiang Yimiao was inexplicably brought into his circle, and it was somewhat difficult to refute.
She lowered her head again and looked at her cell phone’s screen saver time, “It’s not very late now, do we still need to continue shopping? Have we not bought groceries yet today, let’s go to the supermarket.”
“Good.” He nodded his head and followed behind Jiang Yimiao.
Jiang Yimiao’s biggest worry every day was actually what to eat today, even if she didn’t have to cook and go directly to the company cafeteria to eat, she always hated thinking about what to eat today.
Often times she would remember her dream from the night before, what she ate in her dream, and she would order that dish the next day.
But unfortunately it wasn’t every night that she dreamed about what she was going to eat.
As for the meal she was eating at home now, she completely and unconditionally supported Zhao Shuming’s choices. Every day’s dishes were decided by him, after all, everything he made was delicious.
Zhao Shuming was picking out vegetables and fruits, so she poked around on the side, just like when she was a child following her mom around the supermarket, where her mom was picking out the goods and she was responsible for messy play.
Zhao Shuming was already used to buying groceries in China, and he calculated the amount of food the two of them would eat and quickly picked out the vegetables and meat they would use for the weekend.
They walked through the toiletries section of the supermarket as they pushed the shopping cart to the checkout counter.
“It smells so good.” Jiang Yimiao inhaled and looked twice at the rows of large and small bottles of toiletries.
“Look, how come all the shower gels have couple flavors.” Jiang Yimiao pointed at the billboards on the shelves.
Zhao Shuming stopped in his tracks after her.
He knew that Jiang Yimiao wouldn’t be able to resist sniffing anything with a scent when she encountered it, such as right now when she came close to sniff the scent of the same trial off-sale product.
“How does the flavor smell?” Zhao Shuming asked.
“It smells like it’s pretty good.” Jiang Yimiao put it back, “But there’s still body wash at home, so I guess I can still use it for a long time.”
Zhao Shuming stared at the two big words “Couple” on the sign, and then looked closer at the packaging of the two bottles of shower gel, it was a familiar brand, but he hadn’t used this series either, “But I’m almost out of shower gel. ”
“Hmm? You ran out of yours, I bought three bottles last time, do you want to use mine?” Jiang Yimiao looked around, “It’s just the normal milk flavor.”
He had only been back in China for a short while, how could he run out of shower gel so quickly.
Zhao Shuming was just thinking that Jiang Yimiao seemed to like the flavor, so he had the desire to buy it.
But using the same flavor with her seemed better than using this kind of body wash that was sold on gimmicks but actually had no relevance at all.
As for other scents that would make her like it, he could create them by other means. Zhao Shuming pushed the shopping cart behind her and answered, “Then you can give it to me when we get home.”
“I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to use it all up, but then I’ll be buying it in a single order, and buying three bottles is the biggest discount.” She said with gusto, Jiang Yimiao’s salary for this drudgery was actually very high, perfectly enough for her to live a rich life in a city like South City.
But no one could resist a deal, and it was a great sense of accomplishment to see a deal that you had carefully put together.
Zhao Shuming pushed the shopping cart and listened to her while responding to her.
The life he fantasized about after being with Jiang Yimiao was like this, where she and he could have endless conversations, even if they were illogical.
She can go to the supermarket with him and buy things for the house.
She can stay with him without any worries.
Always stay together ……
Until the sky was gilded with a golden light as the two of them walked out of the mall with large bags, beams of light scattering through the clouds. On one side of their eyes was the afterglow of the setting sun, while on the other side they could see the moon that was faintly glowing with a cold white light.
“Suddenly I remember high school.” Jiang Yimiao coldly brought up the past while facing the evening breeze.
“Didn’t we board in high school, and then every Friday after vacation you took me to the mall to buy all the snacks that we were going to bring to school for the weekend and the next week.”
“By the time I finished buying snacks and came out of the mall it was time for the sun to go down.”
Jiang Yimiao squinted her eyes at the golden light in the sky, she didn’t like summer, but such a gentle and tranquil evening with a cool breeze made her a little bit fond of it.
Later on, Zhao Shuming left her.
Jiang Yimiao on Friday is too lazy to go to the mall again, every time a vacation directly home, back to the home shouting not yet finished work dad bought her a bag of snacks, the next week and then brought to school.
At that time, she had thought, probably will be separated from Zhao Shuming forever, where in the world there are so many people can be together all the way.
“When I was a kid, I hated high school and wanted to hurry up and graduate from the college entrance exams, thinking that if I went to college, I would be free and become happy.”
She sighed, “As a result, all those years of dreaming would only dream about high school.”
“Then did you ever dream about me?” Zhao Shuming slowed down his steps, if there was a time traveler and he could go back in time, he would definitely not be so far away from her midway again, even if he was then of how nasty his heart was …… he wouldn’t miss these years of her growing up.
Zhao Shuming’s walking steps were originally large, but as long as he was walking with Jiang Yimiao, he would slow down and keep himself standing slightly behind her.
“There were, but they were all so strange dreams, I remember dreaming about the two of us being trapped in a stationery store at the end of the world, the same one that used to be downstairs in the neighborhood.”
Jiang Yimiao stuffed the doll into the backseat, her legs and feet were already a bit sore from shopping for so long, and her whole body breathed a sigh of relief when she sat in the passenger side.
She propped her hand up and approached Zhao Shuming in the main driver’s seat, “What about you, have you ever dreamed of me?”
Zhao Shuming’s hand that was fastening his seatbelt gave a start, he always seemed to be unable to remember his dreams, he always suffered from insomnia always lacked the time for deep sleep, even what he did while sleepwalking he couldn’t remember.
But among those vague memories, he did dream of Jiang Yimiao.
Every time he woke up early in the morning and realized he was dreaming about her, he would write it down on his cell phone sticky note and later go to the browser to search for dream interpretation.
It was clear that he didn’t believe in these things, but he was still stubborn enough to ask what his dreams meant. If it was a good dream Zhao Shuming would believe it, if the retrieved dream interpretation was a bad omen, he would immediately close the search page and silently recite that feudal superstitions could not be believed.
He smiled and nodded, “Of course I do.”
“Then do you remember?” Jiang Yimiao’s curiosity got the better of him and pursued.
He shook his head and said in a regretful tone, “Don’t quite remember.”
The dimly lit car could not see the color of Zhao Shuming’s rosy ears, he lied, he remembered ……
River kissed him in the dream, bit him, even …… but it would be a secret that belonged only to him.
“River, fasten your seatbelt, let’s go home.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yimiao couldn’t help but take that fried egg doll out and hold it in her arms.”I’m afraid that Jiang Yimiao can’t help but bite the doll.
Afraid that Jiang Yimiao wouldn’t be able to resist biting the doll, Zhao Shuming washed them all on the first night he brought them home. Some that could be machine washed were thrown into the washing machine, and some that could only be hand washed he helped her wash them as well.
So much so that there was a row of dolls drying on the balcony of the house. The expression of each doll is dull, all of them are Jiang Yimiao’s favorite type.
Recently, the weather has been good and the temperature is high at night, so the machine-washed dolls can dry out after a night of airing. Jiang Yimiao walked to the balcony and wanted to collect all those dolls.
“Strange, is the balcony light broken?” Jiang Yimiao snapped the switch several times.
Jiang Yimiao just moved here to find the balcony lights are very dim, the balcony installed is the ceiling aisle lights, a total of two, thinking that may be too long to use the light is going bad, then she went online to buy a new lamp.
But the balcony light has been a bad look, but has been able to light, Jiang Yimiao has not remembered to change a light bulb this matter.
Until this evening, she realized that the balcony light was not working at all.
Jiang Yimiao dragged the chair to the balcony, patted her hands and took the bulb and stood on the chair to start changing the light.
When Zhao Shuming came out of the bathroom wrapped in warm, humid vapor, he saw Jiang Yimiao standing on the chair, raising her hand to twist the bulb.
Afraid of scaring her, he hurriedly walked over to Jiang Yimiao’s side before speaking, “Is the balcony light broken? Miao Miao, be careful, I’ll take care of this.”
He stood beside her, afraid that she would fall.
“No need, I’ve installed light bulbs many times, I’ve installed all the light bulbs at home. Do you remember that dormitory we used to have in middle school, with the bunk beds, I removed the fan every time we cleaned up, my skills are still very good.” Jiang Yimiao pointed at another lamp, “I just installed one already.”
She wasn’t tall or short, but she was still quite a bit taller than the average local height. Changing a light bulb wasn’t a difficult task, after Jiang Yimiao made sure to fix the light, she patted the dust on her hands, “This one is also installed, try to see if it can light up. ”
“You pay attention to safety.” Zhao Shuming finished admonishing her and turned on the balcony light, which functioned normally.
Jiang Yimiao turned her head and saw the row of dolls hanging by the guardrail, wailing and waiting for her to take back the room, so cute that she suddenly tightened her heart, and her hands couldn’t stop trembling.
It’s all over, it’s true that she’s more likely to have a rampant attack when she’s at home in a relaxed state.
Focusing on twisting the light bulb just now, she had completely forgotten how high up she was standing, and when she lowered her head to look now, she was a little dizzy.
“Zhao, Zhao Shuming ……”
“I’m here, what’s wrong River.”
“I’m a little dizzy, can you help me down.” She trembled as she helped her hands onto Zhao Shuming’s shoulders.
Zhao Shuming raised his arms to hold her in place, and he directly soled Jiang Yimiao down.
When she was little, she liked to sit on her father’s shoulders and ride the big horse, and later on, she liked to be held in circles by Zhao Shuming, and this wasn’t the first time he had held her.
Jiang Yimiao was so dizzy that she couldn’t control her limbs, and after holding onto Zhao Shuming she deadlocked herself around him, and her legs clamped down on Zhao Shuming’s waist directly without control.
“Let me carry you directly to the sofa, Miao Miao, are you having another attack because you saw those dolls?”
He clearly felt that Jiang Yimiao’s breathing had become much more rapid now.
“Hmm.” She leisurely responded, Jiang Yimiao was a little embarrassed to bury her head down, after bathing Zhao Shuming’s body really smelled so …… good that she couldn’t help but quietly sniff it.
The impression that he used to be clean and fragrant all day long as well.
Zhao Shuming carried her to the sofa in a bear hug position and turned around to bring back the chair and her shoes.
“I also want to take back the dolls that dried out.” Jiang Yimiao pointed at the row of dolls.
Zhao Shuming returned to the living room holding several more dolls, placing them comfortably on the sofa, “These ones are all dried out.”
“Miao Miao, you can pinch them if you want, try to express your emotions.” Zhao Shuming encouraged.
Jiang Yimiao fruitfully hugged one of the dolls and sucked on it, just like those pet bloggers sucking on cats, although she wanted to bite it, she restrained herself.
However, both of Jiang Yimiao’s hands squeezed the doll to the point where it changed shape.
Her body fell into a momentary dizziness after hyperventilating, but it was exhilarating, so exhilarating that she let out a sigh of relief as she hugged the doll.
“How does it feel?” Zhao Shuming sat beside her, in fact he was a little jealous, jealous of those dolls, to be able to be put in her hands and ravaged like this . Ravaged, able to be squeezed by her with abandon.
When exactly would she be able to nibble on him with abandon, just like when she was a child.
“Happy, just feeling in a good mood all of a sudden.”
The brain was afraid that something too cute would hurt it, so it would give way to thoughts of attacking and destroying cute things. But after such an emotion, she felt soothed.
Jiang Yimiao put the doll down for a while to slow down, finally completely relieved.
“Not feeling uncomfortable that’s good.” Zhao Shuming couldn’t help but touch her new dolls even when she was so cute.
She turned sideways and looked up at Zhao Shuming, freshly showered, his entire body looked like it was radiating a layer of white shimmer.
Normally, he wore his shirt meticulously tied, but on the contrary, the neckline was open when he wore his pajamas after washing up.
From her perspective, she could vaguely see the curves of his body, and was able to see his collarbone, along with a mole on his collarbone.
The mole was very shallow, but it was clear in the line of sight.
Jiang Yimiao suddenly felt as if her fingers were a bit itchy, and she kind of wanted to poke them.
Seeing Jiang Yimiao’s sudden silence, Zhao Shuming looked down at her, “What’s wrong?”
She raised her head and blinked twice, “This mole of yours, it’s still there.”
Jiang Yimiao pointed in the direction of the mole with her fingertip.
Zhao Shuming couldn’t stop laughing, “Of course it’s still there, it’s not like I’ve ever ordered a mole.”
He said deliberately bending his body down, and unsurprisingly, she should be able to see it more clearly, not just the area of his collarbone.
She pursed her lips and tilted her head to stare at the mole for another two seconds, remembering that she had actually poked Zhao Shuming’s collarbone with her fingertips, poking at the shallow mole.
Jiang Yimiao raised her hand and touched the small mole on the side of her nose, the mole didn’t have a raised feeling, it looked like a simple pigmentation.
“Then is this mole of mine the same as when I was a child, has it gotten bigger?”
As soon as her words fell, Zhao Shuming suddenly came closer to her, he wasn’t wearing glasses now, but the pupils of his eyes were even clearer in Jiang Yimiao’s line of sight, so clear that she could make out the subtle lines of blood in Zhao Shuming’s eyes.
Why did he even seem to have a hot face. Jiang Yimiao thought with some confusion in her heart.
“There doesn’t seem to be any change.” He said.
Jiang Yimiao’s gaze swept downwards, his collarbone and even the area below it were exposed to her view, her salivary glands were working in overdrive again, and her teeth that had just not been satisfied wanted to bite something so badly.
The collarbone, which looked like a teething stick, looked as if it would be good to bite.
In her memory, Jiang Yimiao had never bitten this part of him before. In the past, she had either bitten his arm or his neck, and this position of his collarbone was just a bit too hidden.
Seeing her stunned in place, Zhao Shuming leaned back slightly as he tilted his head to look at her face, “Miao Miao, what’s wrong, is there something on me?”
Remembering Zhao Shuming’s words about not suppressing her emotions, Jiang Yimiao blinked, her eyes suddenly brightening and darkening.
She pointed again with the fingertip that had just pointed at the small mole on his collarbone, and said in a serious manner, “Your collarbone looks like a good bite.”
