Chapter 36
The advertisement was still ringing in her ears.
Jiang Yimiao tilted her head, one side of her face pressed against the back of her hand, pressed by the bones in the back of her hand, somewhat uncomfortable, and she blinked in Zhao Shuming’s direction, with little expression on her face.
She was actually the kind of person who looked cold without expression, and her state was a world away from when she was smiling.
However, Jiang Yimiao usually had an expression on her face, except when she was working on the computer or thinking about some complicated problem.
Right now, she had no expression on her face at all, just looking straight into Zhao Shuming’s eyes, her brows slightly furrowed, “Why do you think I suddenly want to bite something? ”
Zhao Shuming’s gaze swept downwards, finally resting on her lips.
Before Zhao Shuming could reply, Jiang Yimiao continued, “Why does it feel like you want me to bite something, or bite you?”
Every time she had an attack, Jiang Yimiao wouldn’t restrain her urge to bite something, but she wouldn’t just bite anything, and more often than not, she would either bite her gum, or bite herself.
She knew that Zhao Shuming must have known her well enough to know that whenever she had a sign of an attack, he would be the first to appear in front of her, asking her if she wanted to grab something or take a bite to relieve herself.
However, since living with him, Jiang Yimiao felt that every time she had an attack, he would be by her side, very actively asking her if she wanted to take a bite to relieve herself.
This made her feel a little strange.
Zhao Shuming’s gaze flashed for a moment of panic.
He admitted that he was a bit despicable, taking advantage of her strange disease in order to get closer to her.
But with Jiang Yimiao’s thinking and brain circuits, she was bound to not think of this level, and even if she knew about it in the future, she wouldn’t blame him, Zhao Shuming slightly opened his lips and softly said, “Miao… …”
“I just saw you pursing your lips, and your expression wasn’t quite the same as usual, so I guessed that you wanted to bite something.”
Jiang Yimiao listened to his words and yawned before subconsciously pursing her lips again.
Just when Zhao Shuming thought she was going to continue to ask him back, she suddenly grinned, “How could you even guess this?!”
Jiang Yimiao remembered that her gaze had just glanced uncontrollably at Zhao Shuming’s collar, and she was really curious about that small mole situated on her collarbone.
She couldn’t help but look at it twice every time, but she herself didn’t know why seeing his collarbone made her want to bite it a bit.
According to common sense and past experience, she wasn’t having a strange attack right now, and Zhao Shuming’s adult male appearance didn’t have anything to do with being cute.
Jiang Yimiao suddenly scooted her body closer to Zhao Shuming, sniffled, and asked with a smile, “You still smell good after bathing for so long eh.”
She knew, it must be because his body always smelled good, that’s why she wanted to take a bite!
After all, when a person smells the aroma of food, his body will also make a series of reactions, saliva secretion, and the brain frantically creates an appetite.
Wanting to eat, wanting to eat everything that smelled good.
Jiang Yimiao’s demeanor that just looked a little cold because she didn’t make expressions disappeared.
Zhao Shuming looked at her somewhat tired eyes before realizing that Jiang Yimiao was just a bit sleepy and didn’t have the energy to make any expressions on her face.
He let out a breath, practically scaring himself.
He almost thought that she had seen through his poorly thought out techniques to attract her.
Jiang Yimiao had just forgotten to close the balcony door when she finished her shower and hung her underwear out to dry on the balcony, and the evening breeze burrowed in along the balcony doorway.
Invisible hands brushed through the broken hair on her forehead, scraping the skin of her face and making Jiang Yimiao feel a little itchy.
Zhao Shuming lifted his hand and flicked all the broken hair on her face behind her ear, “It’s probably because you haven’t gotten used to smelling this flavor yet, that’s why you always feel it smells good. ”
“It’s possible eh, I’ve been using that body wash of mine for a long time, I’ve long since gotten used to my own smell.” She looked down and inhaled her own scent, “I feel like I just don’t smell good myself.”
As the commercial ended and the episodes continued to play on the screen, Jiang Yimiao re-laid her head down and twisted her waist in a single motion, “Then, please continue to press me, technician number twenty-six.”
“Okay, Ms. Jiang.” Zhao Shuming laughed in a low voice and resumed covering Jiang Yimiao’s waist with the palm of his hand.
She still turned violently and pressed down on the back of his hand, “No no no, it’s still itchy.”
“Miao Miao, your waist is really sensitive ……,” Zhao Shuming sat up straight, his hand slightly increased his strength to pinch her side of her waist before she didn’t resist anymore.
“In the past, Cheng Wenyao always loved to wrap her hands around my waist from behind me, and every time I could get her to perform a long jump in place straight away.” In fact, Jiang Yimiao’s neck had some more intimate parts that were just as sensitive as her waist.
She didn’t feel anything when she touched it herself, but when outsiders touched it, she felt itchy, so itchy that she couldn’t stop laughing.
Jiang Yimiao felt that her whole body was itchy meat.
Seeing that she wasn’t sensitive enough to resist anymore, Zhao Shuming began to increase the strength of his hands, “Is this strength okay?”
His voice came from above his head.
“Hmm, it hurts a bit, but it seems to be quite comfortable again.”
“Then I’ll continue to maintain this strength.”
It wasn’t until after the broadcast of an entire episode of the drama that Zhao Shuming completely finished helping her relax and massage her.
He lightly patted Jiang Yimiao’s waist, “Miao Miao, stand up and see if it’s any more comfortable.”
Jiang Yimiao rolled over with her feet on the soft carpet, and when she stood up with the force of her calves, postural hypotension caused her eyes to go black, and for a moment, her entire body was dizzy.
She subconsciously grabbed the nearest support – Zhao Shuming’s arm.
Zhao Shuming was still sitting on the carpet, but his hands were quick to hold Jiang Yimiao.
Jiang Yimiao would sometimes lie down on the sofa when she was tired of sitting, and every time she stood up, her eyes would go black, but in the past, she would usually be relieved very quickly.
But I don’t know if it was because she had been lying on the massage for too long today, but her legs were a little soft, and she directly collapsed in front of her.
Because Zhao Shuming was right in front of her, Jiang Yimiao didn’t support anything else, but she didn’t expect Zhao Shuming to be brought down by her.
Fortunately, the carpet was very soft, and Zhao Shuming didn’t make a loud crash when he fell, and Jiang Yimiao didn’t feel any pain from the fall because she was pressed up against a cushion of flesh underneath him.
But Jiang Yimiao still raised her head in some panic, her hand subconsciously feeling around on his body, “You didn’t bump anywhere, did you?”
Saying this, she also wanted to pull Zhao Shuming’s hair to see if he had smashed his head.
He obediently didn’t move a muscle, letting Jiang Yimiao’s hands fiddle with him, Zhao Shuming grunted a laugh from his nose, “It’s fine, I didn’t fall anywhere, and you didn’t bump into it, did you?”
Jiang Yimiao shook her head.
After the panic, Jiang Yimiao’s entire body breathed a sigh of relief, the movement of supporting her hands was simply as painful as the plate support, and for a moment she didn’t have the strength to climb up again.
So she simply collapsed, lying on Zhao Shuming’s body, and her head just happened to fall onto Zhao Shuming’s shoulder socket.
From time to time, Jiang Yimiao felt that the shoulder nest was invented to bury her head down, because she could nestle right up to the side of his neck, her raised collarbone against her chin.
She subconsciously moved her head, but the tip of her nose cut across Zhao Shuming’s neck, her body blocking the light making it difficult for her to see the side of Zhao Shuming’s neck.
But she knew that his skin in that area was also very fair, and the colors of Zhao Shuming’s body all seemed to be very even.
Jiang Yimiao inhaled her nose, and the odor belonging to his body at the tip of her nose was so strong that it looked like it had reached the upper threshold of pleasure.
She then subconsciously rubbed the tip of her nose against the nape of his neck.
Her relationship with Zhao Shuming was certainly close, but Jiang Yimiao’s memories of herself rarely seemed to have such excessively intimate physical contact.
The wind outside the balcony blew the clothes around, the sound of metal hangers colliding was crisp, and the wind blew in wrapped in the fresh scent of detergent, refreshing one’s mind.
Zhao Shuming’s breathing became a little heavy, he raised his hand to hold Jiang Yimiao’s shoulder, “Miao, Miao ……”
“Hmm?” She hummed as she came up to the nape of his neck, the hot air from her breath fluttering onto his neck as if she had been tickling him.
“Can I get up now?”
This sound of his broke all the sinking Jiang Yimiao had just been in, she suddenly got energized and got up from him on her hands and knees, “Aren’t I a bit heavy.” She laughed dryly twice.
“Not heavy.”
Jiang Yimiao patted the folds on her pajamas, lifted her head with a righteous look and laughed, “I like the smell on you so much eh, it feels fragrant, it’s true that you look like you is the kind of person who loves cleanliness, no one else seems to have this kind of feeling on them.”
In addition to mom and dad, there are also close female friends who smell good, Jiang Yimiao has always felt that all humans carry a meaty odor.
Zhao Shuming sat up a step after her, and he locked eyes with her eyes that had a completely serious look, “It’s good that you like it.”
“Hmm?” Jiang Yimiao somewhat did not understand the meaning of his words, and before the questioning words could be uttered, the cell phone placed on the coffee table rang, ” My mom called me, I’m going to answer a call first.”
Jiang Yimiao directly took the phone and went to the room to pick up the phone, chatting and chatting until she was too sleepy to hold the phone.
She then listened to her mom talk about recent family events while she washed up, and then returned to the bed and fell asleep.
Zhao Shuming heard no more talking in the room before he slowly walked back to the master bedroom, the lights in the room were still on, but she had already fallen asleep with her stomach covered.
He turned around and turned off the lights, barely making a footstep as he walked over to her side and laid down, although he wanted to hug her, Zhao Shuming really didn’t dare to wake her up, and after covering her up he was completely quiet.
He twisted his head to look at Jiang Yimiao, “You’ve been working hard lately.” He said wordlessly.
Zhao Shuming touched the skin that Jiang Yimiao’s nose had just rubbed against, his fingertips couldn’t help but tremble lightly, he thought, he seemed to know how to keep Jiang Yimiao completely.
Jiang Yimiao had worked overtime for a week straight, and every day she ate, slept, and worked back-to-back.
When she got home and showered, she didn’t even have time to watch catch-up dramas, so it’s a good thing that she can take a thunderous double-shift.
In her philosophy, overtime is acceptable, but no one can take away her double vacation.
Afraid that she would be exhausted, Zhao Shuming had recently been giving her big fish and meat stews with every meal.
Dinner will also be sent to her office, as for lunch, Zhao Shuming has actually thought about whether or not to bring it to Jiang Yimiao.
But Jiang Yimiao felt that this would be too tiring, she is full but Zhao Shuming can not be exhausted, and the university side of his soon to be officially employed, the company is a packaged lunch, she was very resolute in rejecting Zhao Shuming the She firmly rejected Zhao Shuming’s proposal.
Zhao Shuming couldn’t argue with her and didn’t insist anymore.
It was not until Friday that she finished working on her new project and instantly relaxed.
On Saturday, she slept straight through until twelve o’clock, and in the morning, Zhao Shuming dragged her up to have breakfast and then go back to sleep.
When she naturally woke up at noon, Jiang Yimiao felt that her stomach had dented with hunger.
“What are we going to eat for lunch today?!” Jiang Yimiao rubbed her fists with a look of anticipation.
“Cordyceps Flower Chicken Soup, let’s drink the soup first before eating.” Zhao Shuming returned while untying his apron.
“Hiss, it’s so hot.”
“Be careful, wait until it’s slightly less hot before drinking it.” Zhao Shuming set all the dishes on the table, “By the way Miao Miao, my mom should be back in South City tonight.”
“Tonight? Back that soon?”
Actually, had Zhao Shuming already spoken to her once before? but time had passed too quickly, so quickly that Jiang Yimiao had completely failed to realize that another month had passed.
“Well, probably came back to stay for a month, her school side is on vacation, she specially pushed off other jobs, this time she went back to China and wanted to stay a bit longer.”
“Ah, then will it be less convenient for Auntie to come back, I’m occupying the master bedroom, so should I move my stuff out.”
Jiang Yimiao forgot for a moment that this house was still the one Zhao Yanlan had persuaded her to live in, when she had also persuaded Jiang Yimiao to live in the master bedroom, it was more spacious and comfortable.
“It’s fine, my mom went to live in another suite, of course, it’s possible to live at my dad’s place, after all, he’s been keeping rooms for her.”
“Stay at uncle’s place?” Jiang Yimiao felt as if her brain CPU was burning, in her memory Zhao Shuming’s mom and dad didn’t remarry.
“Miao Miao, you know, the two of them got married and divorced like they were playing house, there’s no need to feel surprised.” He let out a somewhat helpless laugh.
Zhao Shuming lowered his head to help her peel off the fat and skin from the chicken legs, she loved chicken legs since she was a child but resolutely did not eat chicken legs with skin, this he had always known.
“Oh, oh, that’s right.” Jiang Yimiao nodded in a seemingly unintelligible manner.
Uncle Zhao and Auntie Zhao were actually very good people, and their family gave her a somewhat similar feeling that they were all very upright people, but she and Zhao Shuming were not the same. people, but she had spent far more time with Zhao Shuming than with his mom and dad.
So a lot of things about their family were also told to her by Zhao Shuming himself. The way she understood Zhao Shuming’s parents was naturally through Zhao Shuming’s words as well.
So much so that Jiang Yimiao’s perception of his parents was the same as Zhao Shuming’s, and she also felt that Zhao Shuming’s mom and dad were a bit strange.
They had an iffy relationship that couldn’t sustain a complete family.
She remembered that Zhao Shuming went to school in the South City in the fifth and sixth grades until he went back to his hometown again in his first year, and his parents divorced that year as well.
In all the people are still asking Zhao Shuming will not be sad, or persuade him to coax his parents to remarry, only Jiang Yimiao know that he is actually not sad at all, and even more know that he does not care about the relationship between his parents.
In his heart, as long as mom and dad didn’t do anything illegal or beyond the bottom line of human morality, he wouldn’t care.
“By the way, last night when I went to bed you seemed to ask me if I was free tomorrow, but I was too sleepy and didn’t listen carefully when I fell asleep.” Jiang Yimiao smiled as she took the chicken leg that Zhao Shuming had skinned for her and dipped it in a bit of soy sauce and took a big bite of the meat.
“Well, cousin’s wedding is tomorrow, and I wanted to ask if you want to go along, but Miao Miao it’s fine if you feel too tired to rest at home.”
“Wedding? I’m going too? But I don’t seem to know your cousin very well.”
“You guys played together when you were kids, and she originally gave you a Barbie doll, but it turned out that you refused to take it because you were afraid that it would be too cute and you’d have a seizure.” He paused, “River, do you still remember?”
“Ohhhhh! Come to think of it.” But it was still a bit fuzzy in Jiang Yimiao’s memory, “Then in what capacity if I go, friend guest?”
“Family members of the woman’s relatives.” He said meaningfully.
Jiang Yimiao froze for a moment, Zhao Shuming was indeed like a real brother to her.
She licked the sauce at the corner of her lips, “Then I’ll go with you tomorrow, isn’t a female relative’s family a female relative rounded up I’m your cousin’s relative, haha.”
Zhao Shuming just laughed and spooned her a bowl of rice.
Zhao Shuming cousin’s side of the custom is to hold two weddings, one in the groom’s home one in the bride’s home, this is actually the second wedding, so everything swims.
Even cousin and cousin-in-law didn’t seem nervous at all.
As for Zhao Shuming, it was enough for him as long as the people got there.
The wedding was scheduled at a wedding hotel in his hometown, not far from the southern city, and it took less than two hours to drive there.
Jiang Yimiao didn’t recognize any of the people here, and she knew that as long as she followed Zhao Shuming, she would be able to have a meal.
As Zhao Shuming guessed, his dad went to pick up his mom’s plane at night.
And Zhao Yilan also saw Zhao Shuming in April, not missing him at all, and sent him a WeChat to report his safety when he landed in Nancheng, and didn’t even make a phone call.
The family only met at the wedding banquet.
The first person Zhao Yanlan saw was Jiang Yimiao, and she went forward to hug her.
“Miao Miao long time no see. Aigoo how do you feel thinner is not too tired from work.” She pinched Jiang Yimiao’s wrist.
“Didn’t lose weight it’s five pounds fatter than the New Year.” She glanced at Zhao Shuming, with this feeding method of his, it would be strange for her to be thin.
They rushed a bit tightly, and when they arrived, they had already started arranging for the guests to be seated. Without exchanging pleasantries they were on the table.
Zhao Shuming and Zhao Yilan sandwiched Jiang Yimiao in the center.
Zhao Yilan looked at Zhao Shuming from a distance and said in a broken voice: “Look at your cousin, she’s only two months older than you, she’s married, and she and her husband are childhood sweethearts, they’ve been together since college.”
She propped her head up with a sighing look, “What about you, I don’t know when I’ll be able to give you a wedding.”
Zhao Shuming looked up and just smiled gently without making any reply.
“Auntie Zhao, nowadays many young people aren’t happy to fall in love, many are happy to be single. And Zhao Shuming is still young, there’s no rush.”
In Jiang Yimiao’s memory, Zhao Yannan didn’t quite seem like a parent who would always push her children to fall in love and get married, so she subconsciously said what she had in mind.
Zhao Yannan laughed and patted the back of Jiang Yimiao’s hand, “You’re blaming Auntie, it’s not that I’m urging him to get married, it’s that he wants to start a family. He wants to have a family.”
“A family?” Jiang Yimiao froze and turned her head to glance at Zhao Shuming.
He was lowering his head to help her pour hot tea, and Zhao Shuming didn’t retort, which meant that what Zhao Yilan said was true.
Jiang Yimiao suddenly remembered that he had asked her about her views on marriage earlier, so his views were the opposite of her own?
“Miao Miao ah, you don’t even know that Shuming he ……”
“Mom, stop it.” Zhao Shuming, however, suddenly interrupted Zhao Yannan with a cold tone.
Zhao Yannan raised her eyebrows and glanced thoughtfully at Zhao Shuming, then smiled and swallowed the words she originally wanted to say.
With some understanding in her heart, she let out a sigh, as if she was deliberately sighing for Zhao Shuming to hear.
But she didn’t continue, instead she changed the topic, “Miao Miao the cupcakes in this hotel are delicious, try some.”
Jiang Yimiao looked at Zhao Yanlan and then Zhao Shuming, inexplicably feeling that the two of them were a bit strange, but she still cupped her hands and took the cupcake, “Thank you auntie.”
She quietly glanced at Zhao Shuming and stayed close to him, the surroundings were too noisy, Jiang Yimiao was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hear what she was saying, and her face was close to his shoulder.
The hotel’s air conditioning was turned on a bit cool, but Zhao Shuming was still hot.
Jiang Yimiao’s tone brought a bit of excitement as she asked, “Zhao Shuming, do you have a favorite person?”
