Chapter 51

“River, what are you ah?” He asked softly in a gentle tone, as if he was a little puzzled by her reaction, but only he knew how uneasy he was inside.

Zhao Shuming also knew that since his birthday confession last night, she had never replied to him positively with words, even though she had done everything with him.

Jiang Yimiao sat up propped up on the bed, the feeling that her body hadn’t slowed down yet made her subconsciously suck in a breath, “No, how, how is it a couple ……”

The door of the room was half-covered, the curtains were still tightly affixed, even in the afternoon when the sun was at its peak, the light inside the room was very dark, but Jiang Yimiao clearly saw the smile that flashed across his face, as if he was somewhat helpless.

His hands were propped up on his knees as he bent down to look at her, his glasses-less eyes narrowed slightly, “Miao Miao, ordinary childhood friends don’t go to bed. And brother and sister don’t make love. What kind of relationship do you think we have?”

Jiang Yimiao subconsciously sat up straight, and that tingly electric feeling came again.

She even felt a little bit of this tingling sensation on her face, and she subconsciously raised the palms of her hands, which had been cooled by the air-conditioning, and pressed them to her face.

“I still don’t understand, how can you like me?”

Jiang Yimiao admitted that these past two days, because of many factors, she seemed to have done some unspeakable things, but because the target was Zhao Shuming, she didn’t think it was strange.

Moreover, everything in the past two days was clearly just a matter of love between you and me.

As soon as she was confronted with a problem like love that she had never dabbled in before, Jiang Yimiao’s brain had to go offline, and she really couldn’t figure out how she had ended up with Zhao Shuming.

“You shouldn’t have liked me before, or else we would have been together already. Could it be that your feelings have soured after being separated and estranged?” She rubbed her head and pondered very seriously.

“No, Miao Miao, I liked you before, it’s just that you were still young.” If Zhao Shuming didn’t make this kind of thing clear, she would never be able to keep up with his brain circuits.

Now that he was certain that Jiang Yimiao wouldn’t hate him in terms of gender relations, as for the matter of whether she loved him or not, it didn’t really matter anymore.

“You’re the only person I’ve ever loved, only you, only you.”

Jiang Yimiao felt her face get a little hot, she hadn’t felt this way when she was in bed with him and heard him say this, but now that both of them were sober, when she looked at Zhao Shuming, whose gaze was clear and dispersed of lust, and said such blunt words, she always felt her heart beating a little faster.

“Miao Miao, my body all belongs to you, you can’t be irresponsible.” Zhao Shuming’s words sounded like they carried a bit of a threatening tone, but he was actually pleading.

Jiang Yimiao remembered the lingering of the past two days, her fingertips wrapped around the corner of the quilt a little nervously, falling in love with Zhao Shuming wasn’t a bad thing, even if she herself didn’t even know how liking in the true sense of the word worked, but she knew she was definitely in love. kind, but she knew that she certainly wouldn’t just do this one time with him today …… She nodded her head dizzily. “Then, then are we considered to be together?”

Zhao Shuming sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her, “Well, Miao Miao, I’m your boyfriend now.”

Jiang Yimiao liked his embrace as well as physical contact with him, her body instincts made her stick to the nest of his shoulder and nodded sullenly, “This ring?”

“River, don’t you like it, if not I’ll buy it again, okay?”

“It’s pretty good looking, it just feels weird, do we have to wear some kind of couple’s ring?” Her left hand subconsciously tried to take off the ring on her right hand again…

“Miao Miao, can you not take it off.” Zhao Shuming somewhat nervously held down her hand, “Wearing a ring on your right middle finger attracts wealth.”

“Ah, really, then I won’t take it off hehehe.” Jiang Yimiao fruitfully didn’t care about that ring anymore.

“But I have one request, just one.” She shook off Zhao Shuming’s hand and raised her right hand next to her face and compared it to one.

“What request?” Zhao Shuming sat down beside her and re-clutched her hand, probably afraid that she would actually take off this ring.

“It’s that we don’t tell Mom and Dad about us first.”

“Why?” Zhao Shuming subconsciously frowned, he thought that according to Jiang Yimiao’s concept even if it was publicized it wouldn’t be a big deal, the two families had known each other for many years, at least their parents would be the first to know that they were together.

But she didn’t want her parents to know.

Jiang Yimiao rubbed the back of her head, “That’s it, it just feels strange. We haven’t had that kind of thought before we’ve known each other for so many years, suddenly being together is just weird ah.”

She said the five senses on her face are subconsciously wrinkled, “Although we both do not have a blood relationship, right, but we have known each other since we were young, suddenly getting together makes me feel there is a very strange, er …… ”

Jiang Yimiao’s brain searched for half a day’s vocabulary before finding a word to describe her current feeling.

“There is a sense of back virtue?”

To put it more bluntly there was a kind of messy . Lunar feeling, after all, in her perception, she had originally always looked at Zhao Shuming as her own brother ……

“How could it be, our relationship is clearly honorable.” Zhao Shuming was in a rare position of not obeying her.

“I do feel that way myself.” The fingers of Jiang Yimiao’s right hand on her leg couldn’t help but rub against each other, “And just in case, I’m just saying just in case, in the future when we’re separated, mom and dad’s side might get a little awkward.”

“It won’t be separated.” The corners of Zhao Shuming’s mouth still hung a smile, but his voice was a bit cold.

He almost couldn’t control his emotions in front of Jiang Yimiao, and after trying to take a deep breath he added, “Miao Miao, you said that we’ll always be family and won’t be separated.”

Jiang Yimiao blinked and looked at Zhao Shuming’s eyes that suddenly turned red. The skin around his eyes was also white, so whenever he shed tears the area around his eyes would be very visibly red, and her eyes would also be very red when she cried, but the difference was that she would cry while sniffling, while Zhao Shuming only had his tear ducts overflowing with liquid.

She rarely, rarely saw Zhao Shuming cry, and she hadn’t seen him cry nearly since she was a child.

But today seemed like the second time she’d seen it – the first time was in the morning when he’d kissed the hollows of her shoulders while doing his fiercest thing, only to gasp for breath and fall into tears.

Jiang Yimiao didn’t realize that he seemed to be crying until her shoulder socket was covered in hot liquid, and unlike her eyes, which were glistening with physiological tears, he was actually shedding tears.

She thought it would be because she hadn’t cooperated with Zhao Shuming to make him feel bad.

But Zhao Shuming said that he wanted to cry because he was hugging her to do the most intimate thing.

And Jiang Yimiao at that time looked at the warm liquid that he silently slid down to his lower jaw, his eyes floating with a layer of red, making her inexplicably feel very good at being bullied, and she would have already had She would have had little strength, but was provoked by his appearance, and playfully held down Zhao Shuming’s shoulders to sit on him, and continued to do ……

Jiang Yimiao was anxious and quickly waved her hand, “I’m just saying just in case.” She whispered.

She couldn’t see Zhao Shuming with this look, her limbs were more direct than her mouth, comfortingly holding Zhao Shuming’s face and giving him a kiss on each side of his cheeks, and purposely letting out a crisp boop.

In fact, Jiang Yimiao couldn’t remember if she had ever said “always family” to Zhao Shuming.

Her dazed brain tried to turn around, and she realized that if they broke up peacefully, then there was still a possibility that they could become friends again.

But there was also a worst case scenario.

“But there’s also a prerequisite for that, you can’t cheat on me, you can’t cheat on me.” She smoothed her furrowed brow, her expression serious, and even the palm cupping his face increased in strength a bit.

The nails pressed into her lower jaw sank deeper and deeper, she couldn’t imagine him betraying her, but just thinking about it like this made Jiang Yimiao feel a little angry.

However, she had just watched a couple’s negative news a couple of days ago, and her consciousness profoundly believed that no man in the world was trustworthy, even if he was Zhao Shuming.

If he betrayed her, she might even have the heart to kill him.

The dark thoughts that flashed through her mind startled Jiang Yimiao herself, and she hurriedly lowered her hands that were cupping Zhao Shuming’s face.

Zhao Shuming, however, hugged her and dropped a sloppy kiss on the corner of her forehead, “It won’t happen, it won’t happen.”

“Lately it’s just about not talking to other people about our relationship, I want to wait until I’ve adapted and our relationship has stabilized before I consider it, is that okay?”

Jiang Yimiao grabbed his shirt sleeve and asked in a small voice.

“Okay, all listen to Miao Miao.” Zhao Shuming was already making the biggest concession.

In fact, how could he not know what Jiang Yimiao was thinking in her heart, she would always prioritize thinking of the worst outcome of a matter, so she now appeared to be delaying the relationship between two people’s The idea of delaying the relationship between the two people.

But he now has a name, even if it is only Jiang Yimiao can know the name that is also enough ……

When she smelled the familiar odor of his body, Jiang Yimiao just those black mud thoughts completely out of her brain, and her heart gradually calm down.

The top of her sleepy, messy and somewhat shaggy hair swept over his neck and the knot of his throat, tickling him, but Zhao Shuming still maintained the position of hugging her, “Miao Miao, the takeout has arrived, let’s eat lunch first.”

It was almost two o’clock in the afternoon now, they rarely ate lunch that late, if it wasn’t for the morning’s somewhat harsh behavior, Jiang Yimiao was usually still napping at this point.

The incident with Zhao Shuming in the morning had been a physical endeavor that had consumed a lot of energy, and Jiang Yimiao’s stomach had long been starving by now.

She didn’t have much strength to lean on Zhao Shuming and nodded, wanting to get out of bed and hurry to eat the pizza when Zhao Shuming picked her up by the waist.

Seeing Jiang Yimiao’s face full of surprise, Zhao Shuming smiled and said, “Didn’t you say it still hurts a bit, I’ll just carry you.”

“It doesn’t hurt so much that I can’t walk.” Jiang Yimiao said this verbally, but her body was honestly leaning on him, one hand still pressed on his very elastic pecs.

“But Miao Miao seems to like me hugging you.”

“……” She brushed her head away and didn’t say another word.

The pizza was still hot, the coke was still cold, Jiang Yimiao felt like she hadn’t eaten pizza in a long, long time, and because she was hungry, Jiang Yimiao ate quickly, even sweeping up the snacks in the set meal.

Thinking about how Zhao Shuming’s birthday yesterday passed by in a blur, Jiang Yimiao took a big gulp of coke and coldly asked, “Eh, what did you wish for before you cut the cake yesterday?”

“Wished for what?” Zhao Shuming cleaned up the mess on the table, “Wishes don’t work if you say them.” Zhao Shuming laughed.

“This expression is so old-fashioned, do you really believe in it?”

“Fear not ten thousand but fear the unexpected.” Zhao Shuming paused, “Because I hope that the wishes I make will really manifest, so even if I know that things like birthday wishes don’t work at all, I still have to properly abide by this unsupported scientific reasoning. scientific basis.”

But if there was a one-in-a-million chance that the birthday girl could make a successful wish, then Zhao Shuming would quietly wish that it was him.

After all, his wishes were all related to Jiang Yimiao.

“Is it a very big wish or a very small wish?”

“What do you mean by a very big wish?” Zhao Shuming asked.

“It’s like wishing that you could buy a lottery ticket and win a million dollars.” Jiang Yimiao did the math and realized that it was a bit simple for Zhao Shuming to earn a million, she shook her head, “No, it should be to win ten million!”

Jiang Yimiao was just a little money junkie, everything could be associated with money.

“It’s probably a big wish for me.”

“Oh……” she nodded and threw the finished coke into the trash can along with it Seeing that Zhao Shuming didn’t want to open up about his birthday wish, Jiang Yimiao didn’t continue to ask. After all, when she was a child, she wouldn’t tell anyone what she wished for when she ate her birthday cake and made a wish.

Life was sometimes too boring, and humans created gods and ghosts, stories and such things, but it was also a manifestation of the pursuit of beautiful visions.

However, she and Zhao Shuming were not the kind of people who loved to daydream, so he rarely wished for the so-called wishes, and being able to silently wish for something in his heart was probably a very important wish.

Jiang Yimiao laid her body back and patted her bulging stomach after eating her fill, “So full.”

She burped in passing, and the cola flavor that filled her throat washed over her and made her shake a little.

“It’s good to be full.” Zhao Shuming laughed, tidied up the garbage and wiped down the dining table again, placing the placemats, cups, and some miscellaneous items on the table in a neat and orderly manner.

Jiang Yimiao’s body needed to rest and recover, and after a full week of back-to-back work last week, it just so happened that the drama Jiang Yimiao was chasing hadn’t been watched, so she lay on the sofa and watched an afternoon drama while resting on Zhao Shuming’s thigh.

In the afternoon before dinner, Zhao Shuming wanted to go to the supermarket to buy groceries by himself, but Jiang Yimiao remembered that she had several express deliveries piled up at the post station that she hadn’t picked up, so she followed Zhao Shuming.

With several deliveries piled up in the living room, Jiang Yimiao sat on the sofa in boredom.

She looked up at Zhao Shuming, who was frying in the kitchen, and called out towards him, “I’ll unpack your express delivery as well haha.”

Zhao Shuming was wearing the lace apron, holding the spatula as he glanced back at Jiang Yimiao and nodded towards her.

Immediately, she then lowered her head again and unwrapped a not-so-small cardboard box.

“Why is the packaging pink?” Jiang Yimiao looked at the extraordinarily delicate inner packaging in the express box and wondered a little, what was this that Zhao Shuming had bought?

She unwrapped it only to realize that it was a leather collar with a bell, “Collar?”

What is this? Jiang Yimiao looked at a certain sage husband standing in the kitchen with some bewilderment.

She stood up holding her waist and walked towards the kitchen, then jumped behind Zhao Shuming like a surprise attack.

Zhao Shuming’s afterglow had long since spied her movements from the glass door, but he didn’t turn around, only quietly branching his legs a bit as she jumped up, making himself slightly shorter so that Jiang Yimiao could better pounce on his back.

“Miao Miao, what’s wrong?”

“What is this you bought? We don’t have a pet, why did you buy a collar?”

Zhao Shuming, however, suddenly laughed and put down what he was holding to prop up Jiang Yimiao, “Miao Miao, do you want to see me wear it for you?”

“Huh?” Jiang Yimiao subconsciously let out a questioning cry, but her mind quickly began to visualize Zhao Shuming wearing this collar.

In Jiang Yimiao’s eyes, Zhao Shuming’s character and habits were nearly unchanged, even after living abroad for so many more years.

But the only habit that didn’t quite match up with the previous one was that when he was a kid, he always wore his clothes neatly, and the buttons on the collar of his school uniform didn’t fall off, except for the summer vacation when they learned to swim together, she had never seen Zhao Shuming’s naked upper body.

Nowadays, he seemed to be more used to wearing clothes that weren’t so neat, such as his pajamas, and Jiang Yimiao couldn’t find a single pajama from Zhao Shuming’s closet that could be neatly tied up at the neckline. Nowadays, Zhao Shuming didn’t care if his body was accidentally exposed in front of her.

Maybe it’s because he’s gotten older or spent a lot of time abroad that he’s become more open-minded. ……

Jiang Yimiao thought this way and couldn’t help but pass her hand through Zhao Shuming’s apron, pressing her palm to his chest.

Zhao Shuming was stunned for a moment, and even the muscles in his body tensed for half a second, until Jiang Yimiao’s palm was solidly pressed against him through his clothes, then he relaxed.

He hadn’t gotten used to Jiang Yimiao’s sudden movements of touching him, and Zhao Shuming let out a breath, allowing her to touch him.

Jiang Yimiao felt like she was acquiring a new toy, and the soft feeling of squeezing it made her feel marvelous.

Her head pressed against his shoulder, her warm breath spurting into his ear, “Wanna, wanna see you wear it.”

Zhao Shuming smiled even more, he had realized even earlier than Jiang Yimiao that she liked to look at him condescendingly, he liked the tone of voice that deliberately pretended to be gentle and soft when he spoke to her, and he liked that he wore some clothes that looked cute.

For example, this lace trimmed apron on him.

And at this point, Jiang Yimiao still didn’t know that she had fallen into Zhao Shuming’s trap, but she knew that she did want to watch.

Jiang Yimiao lay down on Zhao Shuming’s back and gently shook her calves, “Can you wear it for me to see today?”
