Chapter 59

Jiang Yimiao had always been curious about how Zhao Shuming had fallen in love with her, and when he had realized such feelings.

Whenever she asked him this question like a curious baby, Zhao Shuming always smiled gently and said something like “I liked you a long time ago”.

Jiang Yimiao often thought that Zhao Shuming was just used to being with her, used to being nice to her, and that’s why he thought he liked her. It was like she couldn’t figure out what her feelings were for Zhao Shuming.

I don’t know if it’s because her cell phone knows that she’s in love, but various social media platforms have pushed posts to her that are similar to her childhood friend being in love.

The vast majority of people like her feel that it is difficult for childhood sweethearts to be together, after all, they are too familiar with each other, and it is difficult for them to develop feelings such as love in their hearts.

Unless the idea was there when they were children, and they looked good together, then they could be together.

However, Jiang Yimiao felt that their childhood feelings had always been very pure, at least she herself did not have this aspect of the idea.

And this was the first time that Jiang Yimiao had ever spoken from his mouth about a specific point in time; she happened to be eighteen when he turned twenty, but by this time they had already been separated for two years…….

Before Zhao Shuming turned twenty meant that she was still somewhat young.

Jiang Yimiao pursed her lips and looked up at Zhao Shuming.

She felt the strength of Zhao Shuming’s grip on her hand grow stronger, as if he was afraid she would break free.

Zhao Shuming was bending his eyebrows, and there was an emotion in the bottom of his eyes that she couldn’t understand, but Jiang Yimiao felt as if he was very sad, so sad that his eyes seemed to be red.

If she said something more unpleasant, his tears might not be able to keep up and overflow.

Jiang Yimiao blinked, suddenly stood up and sat on Zhao Shuming’s lap facing him, burying her face in the side of his neck.

“I have no intention of not wanting to go on with you.” She whispered. She said in a small voice, probably a little tired from working all day, her tone of voice was a little soft with fatigue.

Zhao Shuming froze for a moment before slowly releasing his grip on Jiang Yimiao’s hand and wrapping his hands around her waist.

Probably because her backside felt his arms, Jiang Yimiao subconsciously straightened up and moved her body forward.

“There’s no need for any assessment criteria.” Jiang Yimiao’s chin was pressed against Zhao Shuming, her lips parted, she didn’t know why Zhao Shuming was suddenly so nervous and scared, she only knew that she shouldn’t let him feel bad because of her either.

“I’m sorry Miao Miao, we still have a lot of time, you still have a lot of trial and error costs, you can wait until you want to make it public, and I don’t mean to force you.” Being hugged by Jiang Yimiao in such a sudden intimate manner, Zhao Shuming’s entire body was instantly smoothed over by her.

Zhao Shuming still decided to give in, he shouldn’t have pushed Jiang Yimiao too far.

He had been too irrational in recent months, and the reality was that the development of him and Jiang Yimiao had already deviated from his original plan.

But he was also really afraid that Jiang Yimiao wouldn’t want him in the end, because her love was too precious, so he would suffer.

“I know.” Jiang Yimiao nodded as she leaned against him.

The two bodies were very close to each other, so close that they could feel the vibrations of each other’s speech, and the other’s voice was not just transmitted from the air to the eardrums, it was also sandwiched between bone conduction somewhat muffled.

“How about this, if we’re still together after three months, we’ll talk to our parents, how about it?”

Jiang Yimiao felt that three months was long enough, long enough that it should allow Jiang Yimiao to figure out her relationship with Zhao Shuming.

“Three months?” Zhao Shuming was a bit surprised, he had even wondered before if he could go public with his parents during the New Year.

“Yeah, do you think three months is too long?” Jiang Yimiao’s face was pressed against the side of Zhao Shuming’s neck, she liked hugging him like this, the movement like a sloth hugging the trunk of a tree gave her a sense of security and was very comfortable, although Zhao Shuming’s body was a bit hot.

“No no, then wait for these three months.” Zhao Shuming tightened the arm that circled her waist, itching to get up and hug her in circles right now, “We won’t separate, River.”

Never ……

Jiang Yimiao shook her legs and didn’t speak again, she had eaten a little too much tonight and felt like she was in a state of dizzy carbohydrates, her eyes and head were heavy.

She slightly raised her head and saw the little dolls sitting in rows on the sofa, feeling that it had been a long time since she had played with these little dolls, Jiang Yimiao reached out and reached for the softest doll and grabbed it in her hand.

As she grasped it, she suddenly felt a little numbness in her palms, and her fingers couldn’t help but grip the soft doll harder as she buried herself in Zhao Shuming and inhaled his familiar scent.

Zhao Shuming was sensitive enough to notice that Jiang Yimiao seemed to be having an attack on the doll, he circled her waist tightly and felt Jiang Yimiao suddenly tilt her head as if she wanted to take a bite out of her.

“Miao Miao, wait a moment!” Zhao Shuming stopped Jiang Yimiao’s movements.

Jiang Yimiao was so shocked by his shout that she forgot to close her mouth and was stunned in place, “What’s wrong?”

“Miao Miao I’m cooking this afternoon, my body is covered in fumes, if you want to bite it can you wait until I’m done with the shower?”

Jiang Yimiao remembered that Zhao Shuming was also like this when she was a child, especially after middle school, obviously she felt that he was clean, the laundry detergent on his clothes and the smell of shower gel on his body didn’t dissipate after a whole day, she just wanted to bite him, but every time, Zhao Shuming had to ask her to wait for He finished his shower before biting him.

Although Jiang Yimiao admitted that Zhao Shuming smelled better and cleaner after the shower, she wanted to bite him afterward. But the thought of her wanting to bite him after the bath had probably disappeared.

“But I want to bite now!” Jiang Yimiao tried to refute him with some mischief. She was feeling a bit toothy right now, and she just wanted to bite him right now!

“Then bite my arm, I’ll wipe it cleaner and you can bite it again.” Zhao Shuming stood up with her in his arms and placed Jiang Yimiao back on the sofa again. ;

“Hurry up hurry up, I can’t help it.” Jiang Yimiao grabbed the doll and waved it, if she didn’t give it to her, she felt like she wanted to take a bite out of it.

“Immediately.” Zhao Shuming glanced back at her, squatting in front of the coffee table and wiping it with alcohol cotton pads and washing and drying it again before handing his arm to Jiang Yimiao.

I don’t know if I’ve been a little too wanton lately, but Jiang Yimiao felt that under the warm yellow light, she could see that Zhao Shuming’s hand seemed to be a little mottled – the scars on Zhao Shuming’s arm were reflected in the light in a particularly obvious way, and in addition to the original scars on her arm, there were also a couple of somewhat shallow marks, which were also marks left behind by her bites. Jiang Yimiao blinked and looked at the scar.

Jiang Yimiao didn’t lower her head and take a big bite like Zhao Shuming expected, she threw the doll to the side and raised her right hand, the tip of her index finger was on his arm, which accurately should be on Zhao Shuming’s arm scar.

The soft fingertips swept over the scar on his arm like a feather, she was feeling the bump of the scar while Zhao Shuming was feeling the rubbing of her fingertips.

“Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.” Zhao Shuming shook his head, “It doesn’t hurt at all, and I like it.”

Jiang Yimiao licked the corner of her lips.

“As long as it’s related to you, I like it.”

She locked eyes with Zhao Shuming, but she felt like she was about to be burned by his gaze.

Jiang Yimiao’s nails on the hand holding Zhao Shuming’s arm couldn’t help but grip him slightly harder, and her nails seemed to be embedding themselves into the skin of his arm.

Zhao Shuming raised his hand and touched her head, “Miao Miao, didn’t you want to bite?”

Jiang Yimiao didn’t answer, but directly lowered her head and bit down, biting as hard as she could like before before letting go, Zhao Shuming still looked at her with a gentle face, eyes full of encouragement, as if he was going to open his mouth later and say: “Miao Miao is so good.”

“Like.” Jiang Yimiao pursed her lips and smiled.

“Like what?” Zhao Shuming was a bit confused by her cold sentence.

“Like your arm, like your body.”

“Then another bite?” Zhao Shuming asked, still slightly raising his arm to her mouth.

Jiang Yimiao really couldn’t resist his temptation and lowered her head to solidly embed her teeth into his skin.

The somewhat resilient arm allowed her to bite very comfortably, so comfortably that she had completely relieved the cute aggression disorder she had just experienced, except that she didn’t know why she still wanted to bite, she just wanted to take a bite out of Zhao Shuming, and Zhao Shuming liked it when she did so, so Jiang Yimiao didn’t have any qualms about it either.

She didn’t let go until she felt a little breathless.

Jiang Yimiao looked at Zhao Shuming’s straight expression and felt a little hot, she rubbed her neck, “I want to take a shower.”

Zhao Shuming let out a breath and stood up, “Wash, the pajamas and underwear as well as the bath towel are all ready for you, they’ve all been placed on the bed.”

“Uh-huh.” Jiang Yimiao also followed and stood up, she had only put on half of her slippers when she suddenly remembered something and turned around to give Zhao Shuming a quick kiss on the cheek before running back to her room.

Zhao Shuming looked at her back as she quickly disappeared, and touched the area that had just been kissed by her, feeling that it seemed to be burning, he was stunned, and then he couldn’t help but smile.

His Miao Miao, how could she be so cute.

Jiang Yimiao had been busy as a gyroscope for the past two days, so much so that when she got off work, she was dizzy and wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep. Every day, except for hugging Zhao Shuming and biting or kissing him before she fell asleep at night, she felt like all her desires had faded away as much as her time ……

“I’m back!” Jiang Yimiao was so tired that she threw her bag directly onto the table and sat her butt down on the sofa, pulling out two paper towels and wiping off the sweat that probably didn’t exist.

“Miao Miao, there’s still one more dish to go before dinner.” Zhao Shuming glanced from the kitchen toward that part of the living room.

He’d been busy with his entry into the company over the past two days, and he’d also been running in two places, and he’d been slightly late getting back tonight, or else normally Zhao Shuming would usually be able to finish cooking by the time Jiang Yimiao got home.

“Well–” Jiang Yimiao collapsed on the sofa and gave a long response, and today she was busy for half an hour more, but half an hour is not considered overtime for Jiang Yimiao, and so on. She blew into the cold air of the air conditioning fan for a while, and when she twisted her head to look at the kitchen, Zhao Shuming was still frying vegetables with his apron on.

Jiang Yimiao shuffled her slippers and ran into the kitchen, seeing him frying vegetable hearts with very little movement, she walked behind him and jumped onto Zhao Shuming’s back.

“Missed you so much.” She looked down and sniffed Zhao Shuming.

“Really?” Zhao Shuming was stunned for half a second, realizing that she should have wanted to bite him rather than purely missing him. But no matter what, he was still a little joyful to hear Jiang Yimiao say such words.

“Uh-huh!” Jiang Yimiao nodded her head vigorously, every time she wanted to take a bite of something Zhao Shuming wasn’t around, if only every day was a weekend, she would not only be able to bite Zhao Shuming, but also sleep with him.

Jiang Yimiao struggled to move her body upwards, breaking Zhao Shuming’s head over and lightly biting into his face.

Such an action in Zhao Shuming’s eyes was actually not much different from a kiss, after all, Jiang Yimiao also liked to bite him when she kissed.

Zhao Shuming looked at the fried dishes in the pan, “The last dish is ready, Miao Miao come down.”

Jiang Yimiao, however, wiggled her legs, “I don’t want it, I’ll come down after you carry me around twice.”

He was used to her occasional capriciousness, after all, Jiang Yimiao only had this kind of capriciousness when facing Zhao Shuming. Zhao Shuming went out of the kitchen and held her tightly and spun around twice before putting Jiang Yimiao back on the floor.

“Right Miao Miao, I have something for you.” Zhao Shuming unwrapped his apron and put it on the dining table, walking back into the room with what seemed to be something very small in his hand and coming out.

It wasn’t until Zhao Shuming handed her the thing in his hand that Jiang Yimiao saw that it was a bank card.

“What is this?” Jiang Yimiao looked at Zhao Shuming in wonder, “Why did you suddenly give me a bank card?”

“Funds related to the work of South City University basically go to this card, it’s also considered a payroll card.”

“Why give it to me? Let me put it away for you?” Jiang Yimiao was still outside of her state, completely unresponsive to Zhao Shuming’s intentions.

“The password is the last six digits of your ID.” Zhao Shuming smiled, “The card is for you to keep, and you can use the money on it as you please.”

“Huh?” Jiang Yimiao shoved the card into Zhao Shuming’s hand like she was holding a hot potato, and when he didn’t take it, she shoved it into his pocket.

“If I use it casually, what do you use?”

“I still have my side business and the money I saved from before, and the hourly rate for a consultation isn’t low.” Zhao Shuming didn’t insist on taking the card out again.

“I’ll be crediting money to your account on a regular basis anyway, there really isn’t much point in giving the entity’s card to you, it’s just a sense of ceremony.”

“You can also add an affinity escrow account, or you can log into mobile banking on your phone later to bind this card of mine.” Zhao Shuming had long been prepared and knew how to hand over the money to Jiang Yimiao.

Zhao Shuming wasn’t saying nice things, he just wanted to give Jiang Yimiao all the good things he had, money was the simplest thing that could give humans a sense of security, he just wanted to make her happy.

“It’s not like I usually spend …… much money,” Jiang Yimiao frowned, feeling that Zhao Shuming’s decision was a bit too impulsive.

“It’s not a lot of money, you know, college teacher salaries are actually average, I’m a good bit lower than you before taxes.” Zhao Shuming couldn’t help but kiss her cheeks, “But there will be a settlement payment coming in these two months, probably around a million dollars. You can use this money however you want.”

“What?!” When Zhao Shuming gave her a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, Jiang Yimiao felt like she could still control it, but a million dollars was beyond her control.

She wasn’t the heroine in Mr. Ba’s novel, how could it be so easy to see a million dollars of liquidity in her life all at once.

“Buy a car, buy a house? You can use it however you want, I can also transfer this money directly to your account if you’re not sure, I won’t ask for it back.”

“River, what’s wrong, confused?” He couldn’t help but speak.

“I’m feeling a little dizzy in the head ……”

“Then don’t dwell on it, why don’t you reconsider, it’s not too late when you think about it.”

“Is the settlement fee that much?” Jiang Yimiao thought it was just a few hundred thousand, “Is our school treated well?”

“Not bad, after all, there’s not much of a way out of my line of work.” Zhao Shuming laughed to himself, “There are some subsidies for housing, but the salary in hand is really not high.”

It was normal for it to be less than a big hit industry like Jiang Yimiao.

“Isn’t there some kind of policy for family members to come along as well?” Jiang Yimiao was a bit curious, she had never learned about Zhao Shuming’s job before, she only knew that she had heard her teacher complain about a pay cut in previous years due to the epidemic.

“Well, it’s possible to arrange for a spouse’s job, and with an education like yours, it can be arranged into the establishment.” Zhao Shuming recalled a little, “But the treatment is actually a bit average, I feel like you might not like it too much.”

Jiang Yimiao froze for two seconds, and afterward brushed her head away, “It’s not like I’m your spouse ……”

Zhao Shuming lowered his head, kissed onto her ear, and whispered, “Miao Miao, as long as you want, you can be.”
