Chapter 56

The sun was sinking, its orange afterglow reflecting on the sky outside the balcony window.

None of the lights in the house were turned on, but it was still bright and clear inside.

Jiang Yimiao was subconsciously forced to the door by Zhao Shuming, her head preemptively leaning against the door, her hands behind her back, subconsciously clasping the door handle. Her eyes naturally looked towards Zhao Shuming’s body.

He had taken a shower, and his body carried a sense of freshness that could only be found after a bath.

She was clearly familiar with Zhao Shuming’s body, so familiar that she knew the touch of every place like the back of her hand.

But Jiang Yimiao didn’t know why, but Zhao Shuming always seemed to have a lot of ways to let her see a new side that she didn’t know about.

Zhao Shuming didn’t reach out to wallop her like in vulgar idol dramas, but instead propped his hands on his legs, bent down, and put his eyes at her pupil level.

The apron he was wearing was not the lace trimmed apron hanging in the kitchen, it was a new one.

The upper part of his body was inverted trapezoidal shape, i.e. narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, but it was a little too narrow at the top, so narrow that it couldn’t even wrap around Zhao Shuming’s entire chest.

“What’s wrong, does Miao Miao not like it?”

Seeing that Jiang Yimiao didn’t reply, Zhao Shuming deliberately asked again, even though he had long since seen from Jiang Yimiao’s eyes that she liked it, but compared to liking it, Jiang Yimiao was probably more curious and It’s a new thing.

This apron looked more formal than the one used in the kitchen, with a linen body color and black straps, it looked like an apron that would be worn at work.

She bit her lip and shook her head, “I like it.”

Jiang Yimiao said in a low voice, and while saying so, she also stretched her hand onto his body, but compared to the past when she always directly touched the center, this time she touched Zhao Shuming’s side.

The apron couldn’t cover the skin that was exposed to the air, and the bulging muscles pushed up against her hand, the palm of her hand fit tightly onto his chest, and even the back of her hand was slightly raised.

In order to allow Jiang Yimiao to better touch it, Zhao Shuming had stood up straight and allowed her hand to fall into hers wantonly.

Zhao Shuming continued to speak, “Is it like that comic you were talking about last night.” He said and even raised his hand to rest on Jiang Yimiao’s shoulder.

Jiang Yimiao blinked her eyes anxiously, she had only told Zhao Shuming about the appearance and occupation of the main character of the cartoon, but she hadn’t told him about the specific content or the name of the cartoon. She had only told Zhao Shuming about the appearance and occupation of the hero of the comic, but not the specifics or the name of the comic.

His current outfit was similar to that of the manga, which meant that he had probably read the manga…….

“You know that manga I read?!” Jiang Yimiao exclaimed.

Zhao Shuming nodded at her.

She brushed her head away and covered her face somewhat blushing, it was a female oriented TL manga.

To put it bluntly and crudely, it was a pornographic comic that girls read, usually drawn in a beautiful style. The general style of drawing is beautiful and more in line with women’s preferences, otherwise the male lead’s pecs wouldn’t be drawn so big.

But how could Jiang Yimiao think that Zhao Shuming even knew about this.

“I know everything that Miao Miao likes.” Zhao Shuming narrowed his eyes, “There’s nothing to be ashamed of, that author’s human body drawings are very good.”

“I throw myself at you when I like you, so I probably know you better than you think.” Zhao Shuming said before his hand gently traced down from her shoulder and gently stroked onto her arm.

Jiang Yimiao raised her eyebrows to look at his gaze, at this moment Zhao Shuming had his back to the light, and the pupils under the cover of his glasses were even more colorful and deep, and that feeling of vertigo that made it seem like she was being sucked in struck her again.

“That brother of yours looks like he’s very scheming and shrewd ah ……”

Jiang Yimiao remembered what Cheng Wenyao had said at dinner and the conversation between the two of them –

The lighting in the Coconut Chicken’s restaurant was a bit obscure, and a song Jiang Yimiao couldn’t name was still playing in the restaurant, the smoke from the hot soup rolling out rose into mid-air, resting between the two of them, her and Cheng Wenyao.

Cheng Wenyao suddenly brought her head over, lowered her head so that her face was also in the darkness, and deliberately lowered her voice to ask: “What happened between you and Zhao Shuming, tell me the truth.”

Jiang Yimiao simply and straightforwardly told Cheng Wenyao in long words, only covering up the matter of their raw rice.

“He confessed to you on his birthday, you craved him then agreed?!”

Jiang Yimiao took a sip of soup and was scalded, spitting out her tongue as she returned with a big grin, “You can think of it that way.”

“Wouldn’t you think it’s strange, being with someone that well known, not to mention you didn’t think this way at all before.”

“Are you trying to say it’s not a bit like incest . Incest?”

“It’s not that exaggerated ……,” Cheng Wenyao dryly laughed twice, “It’s good that you like it.”

If Jiang Yimiao had found a guy who was ugly, less educated than her, and of average character, Cheng Wenyao would have had to drag her off the cliff to turn back to the other side. But the other party was Zhao Shuming, and his condition was also worthy of Jiang Yimiao.

Although girlfriends are generally persuaded to split up, but Jiang Yimiao’s object is Zhao Shuming, Cheng Wenyao can’t find any reason to persuade for the time being.

“Liking is liking, it’s just that I feel weird, my kind of liking and what he thinks he likes might be different.” Jiang Yimiao touched the tip of her nose, “But according to what you said that physiological liking is really liking, then I definitely like him.”

“Like to hug and stick and kiss him?”

“Well, but we’ve been like this since we were kids eh, I’m used to it.”

“Tsk tsk.” Cheng Wen Yao spooned the chicken thigh meat and stuffed it into Jiang Yimiao’s bowl.

“I just think it’s weird, suddenly being together, suddenly saying he likes me, and he seems pretty good at all aspects.” If she hadn’t known Zhao Shuming for more than twenty years, Jiang Yimiao would have felt like she was entering a pig-killing dish.

“It’s possible that Zhao Shuming liked you a long time ago ah, it’s just that you didn’t like him again. And that brother of yours looks like he is very scheming and shrewd ah ……”

Cheng Wen Yao was also scalded by the coconut chicken soup and turned her head to take a big gulp of ice lemonade.

Jiang Yimiao blinked, her thoughts pulling out of the memories from not too long ago, in fact, in her own perception, Zhao Shuming and her were both the kind of straightforward people, the two of them didn’t have any big secrets and wouldn’t intentionally hide something.

But now she felt like she had to reshape her perception of Zhao Shuming, he seemed to be hiding a little deeper than she had imagined.

Jiang Yimiao looked at him and swallowed, her palms still covering his body.

“What’s wrong, confused by the surprise?”

Zhao Shuming looked down at what he was wearing, it was actually the first time he had dressed like this to amuse Jiang Yimiao, compared to stripping naked in front of her, this half-covered instead made him feel more blush.

Moreover, this apron was not as snug and comfortable as his usual clothes, the feeling of wearing it on his body was a bit strange, but thinking that Jiang Yimiao would like it, he felt happy.

“It’s a little ……” she said softly.

As soon as Zhao Shuming spoke, his chest would vibrate along with him, and such vibrations traveled to hand Jiang Yimiao’s heart, feeling a little numb.

“Drink some water and eat the fruit loo first.” Zhao Shuming slightly tilted his head sideways, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and with an inviting gesture took the bag on Jiang Yimiao’s shoulder, and set her slippers in front of her.

Yesterday it rained, and in the morning it rained in a hurry, the rain made the city a little less hot, but summer is still hot, the high temperature and high humidity is not suitable for people at all.

Even though Jiang Yimiao almost always stayed in the mall, after spending half a day outside, her whole body looked a little wilted. Moreover, she was easily thirsty when she was hot and wanted to eat sweet and juicy fruits.

Zhao Shuming had specially mixed another fruit salad for her, all of which were suitable for enjoying after meals.

Jiang Yimiao was dizzily flanked by him to the dining table, waiting for Zhao Shuming to bring out the fruit salad.

He had pre-frozen it in the refrigerator for a while, and the fruit salad had her favorite coconut and taro puree in it. Unlike the image Jiang Yimiao imagined of him handing her the fruit loaf, Zhao Shuming directly picked up a spoon and wanted to feed it to her.

“I’ll just do it myself.” Jiang Yimiao held down Zhao Shuming’s hand, wanting to snatch the spoon from his hand.

“A caregiver’s job is to take care of the baby in their charge ah, isn’t it normal to change clothes and feed her?” Zhao Shuming smiled gently and actually said such words in a serious manner.

“I’m not a baby ……” Jiang Yimiao knows that he is now “playing games” with her, but Jiang Yimiao has just come back from the outside, and has not yet entered into this kind of relationship with him. But Jiang Yimiao had just come back from the outside, and she hadn’t gotten into the state of flirting with him yet. The first time I saw him, I was in a state of flirtation with him.

“Okay, then Miao Miao will eat by herself.” Zhao Shuming could see that she was a little shy right now, and obediently put the bowl of fruit salads down and handed it to her.

Jiang Yimiao glanced at Zhao Shuming’s chest and then at the bowl of fruit loaf and quickly ate.

“It seems a bit hot, is the air conditioner not turned down low enough?” Jiang Yimiao touched her hot face.

“Miao Miao, your face seems to be a little red.” Zhao Shuming came closer to look, “I’ll go turn the air conditioner down.”

Jiang Yimiao had only just finished dinner, so her stomach was still a bit full, and Zhao Shuming had calculated to make a very small portion of fruit loaf, so it didn’t take long for her to finish eating.

When she finished eating she suddenly looked at Zhao Shuming who was sitting in front of her.

The sky outside the balcony window was still escaping the golden glow of the afterglow, a large flowery white cloud hanging in the sky, it was still early in the day, what could she and Zhao Shuming do now?

“Then I’ll go wash the dishes first and play with you later.” When he said the word play, he seemed to aggravate his tone a bit.

Jiang Yimiao looked at his back as he picked up the bowl and left, the buzzing in her head seemed to get louder, she didn’t realize that there was no fabric behind the apron, Zhao Shuming’s entire back was exposed in the air, facing Jiang Yimiao’s direction.

Even without her glasses, she could see it clearly – the muscular lines of his back and the several scratches she’d left behind, which had scabbed over and looked a little abrupt on his white back.

But Jiang Yimiao didn’t know why her heart was overflowing with a very delicate feeling, she pushed her chair back, stood up and walked to the kitchen cleaning area as well, and without hesitation raised her hand to poke at the scratches on Zhao Shuming’s back.

Zhao Shuming loved cleanliness on weekdays, and the kitchen was even cleaned every day, with not a single stain visible on the floor or on the operating table, and the hood was cleaned regularly.

She could even smell the odor of kitchen cleaner wafting through the air now.

“Why did you suddenly come into the kitchen?” Zhao Shuming didn’t turn around and continued to keep his head down in the dishwashing position, the bowl that held the fruit loaf wasn’t dirty, it was easy to wash without grease stains, he poured out the remaining stagnant water in the bowl and put the bowl back in the cabinet.

He also drew a piece of kitchen paper to dry all the water stains on his hands, and only after doing this did Zhao Shuming turn back to look at Jiang Yimiao.

He was leaning on the kitchen counter, and Jiang Yimiao was standing in front of him.

The lights in the kitchen were yellowish, but they were very bright, making the metal buckle on Zhao Shuming’s apron shoulder strap shine, and Jiang Yimiao couldn’t help but reach out and buckle it, “Did you buy this apron new?”

“Well, it’s newly bought and washed before I wore it.” Zhao Shuming deliberately emphasized.

No wonder he didn’t even have any clothes on anymore, Jiang Yimiao could still smell the scent of laundry detergent, her fingertips unhappily playing with the buttons of the apron’s shoulder straps.

Zhao Shuming reached out and covered the back of her hand, moving Jiang Yimiao’s hand to the middle of the top edge of the apron.

“Doesn’t Miao Miao want to touch somewhere else?”

Jiang Yimiao just blinked and didn’t say another word, but her hand followed Zhao Shuming’s temptation to press down on his chest.

The unresisting hand also told Zhao Shuming: she wanted to touch it now.

“You’re the only one who can touch all these parts, so River can come as she pleases.” Zhao Shuming lowered his head and spoke softly, holding Jiang Yimiao’s hand and pulling his own apron down, the apron fabric being torn down with the force of his hand, the neckline taking on a V shape.

Zhao Shuming’s hand was a little hot, and even the temperature of his body was a little hot, Jiang Yimiao’s breathing was slightly shortened, and she lightly licked her lips, inexplicably feeling that her throat was a little dry. Some dryness.

“Miao Miao, you can bite it if you want to, I washed it clean.”

Zhao Shuming said this as if he had cleaned the fruit for her to eat on weekdays.

When Jiang Yimiao bit him now, it was no longer just a simple cute aggression attack, but it was that she just wanted to bite, and she would transform this emotion of liking into somewhat aggressive behavior like nibbling.

“But the apron is blocking the place I want to bite.” Jiang Yimiao raised her head and looked at Zhao Shuming.

She still liked to bite into the most obvious part of the muscle, and the soft texture of a solid bite would make her feel extraordinarily pleasurable.

Jiang Yimiao finished and also stretched out her other free hand, poking down, some rough apron fabric cut into the skin, Zhao Shuming unconsciously gasped.

She had found that as long as she touched Zhao Shuming’s more sensitive parts, it was as if she had flipped a switch, and when Zhao Shuming’s brain recognized the touch, he would immediately gasp.

Jiang Yimiao felt excited about him behaving like this, so excited that she couldn’t help but tilt her head back and let out a laugh.

“Then where do you want to bite?” Zhao Shuming bent down and approached Jiang Yimiao’s ear to ask in a whisper.

Jiang Yimiao pursed her lips, in the end she couldn’t say it, she knew that Zhao Shuming was asking knowingly, deliberately making her say it herself.

But this is a bit difficult for her, Jiang Yimiao looked angry and deflated her mouth and turned her head away.

Zhao Shuming knew he had gone too far, he immediately unbuttoned one side of his apron, and the moment the shoulder straps and apron fabric were detached, half of his body was hidden in front of Jiang Yimiao.

Jiang Yimiao’s afterglow picked up a patch of floral white, and she twisted her head back toward Zhao Shuming, holding his waist and biting into him as if she was deflated.

The familiar scent of Zhao Shuming’s body escaped into her own nostrils, and the area where her teeth were biting still had the teeth marks she made yesterday.

Zhao Shuming reddened his ears and propped one hand on the quartz stone countertop, raising his head slightly and sighing softly with some impatience.

The height difference between Jiang Yimiao and him was just enough for her to be able to wrap her arms around Zhao Shuming’s waist in a more comfortable position and lower her head to bite him.

The tip of her tongue unconsciously ran across his slightly sensitive skin. Her tongue unconsciously traced over his slightly sensitive skin, and Jiang Yimiao felt as if Zhao Shuming, who had his arms wrapped around him, trembled a little in her arms.

Jiang Yimiao enjoyed seeing Zhao Shuming in such a state, and she deliberately licked it this time, sucking another bite into the bitten area.

“Wait, wait a moment …… Why does it feel sweet?”

Jiang Yimiao blushed and raised her head to look at Zhao Shuming.

“Well, I applied something on it, non-toxic and harmless, to increase the love . It’s just a fun preparation.” Zhao Shuming smiled, and there seemed to be some ingratiation in his tone.

Jiang Yimiao felt herself getting hotter and hotter, she licked it again, it was indeed sweet …… She took another bite towards the place that hadn’t been bitten.

Zhao Shuming was afraid that she would not be able to stand up, and tightly embraced her, his hand subconsciously touching the button of her underwear.

Jiang Yimiao, however, quickly let go of her mouth and took a step back.

In Zhao Shuming’s puzzled eyes, she touched the tip of her nose, “I’m so hot, and I haven’t bathed yet.”

Even if Jiang Yimiao hadn’t sweated much today, she still felt that her body wasn’t very clean, and the sticky summer always gave her this trouble.

And in her conception, she had to be clean and showered before she could lie down on the bed.

Even if it was a weekend lunch break at home, Jiang Yimiao had to take a shower with warm water before she could lie back in bed and start resting without worry.

“The water temperature has already been adjusted, Miao Miao can take a bath if she wants to right now.”

“Then I’ll go take a shower first.” Jiang Yimiao raised her head to signal Zhao Shuming to loosen his arms around her.

But he remained peacefully still, Zhao Shuming looked at Jiang Yimiao’s furrowed brow and asked, “Miao Miao, let’s wash together.”
