Chapter 69
When she heard Shen Man’s voice, Jiang Yimiao jerked her head up, and she let go of the hand she had placed against the base of Zhao Shuming’s thigh.
She gulped and glanced at the watch on his hand, the same one she had given him on his birthday.
Jiang Yimiao immediately raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Shuming, and said innocently, “Zhao Shuming said that his watch glows, so I’m studying his watch.”
At the same time, Zhao Shuming subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his left wrist.
He obediently raised his hand to the tabletop, revealing his wristwatch conspicuously, and accompanied it with a smile.
Shen Man frowned and laughed uncontrollably, “How old are you, why are you still acting like a child ……”
Jiang Yimiao pouted, some heart to look right and left.
She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she also loved to pat Zhao Shuming’s thighs. For example, when she watched TV and saw a hilarious episode, Jiang Yimiao couldn’t help but pat Zhao Shuming’s thighs furiously as he sat on the side.
Another example is when she watched a ghost movie with him, she covered one hand in front of her eyes, and her eyes passed through the gap between her fingers, while the other hand would grasp his legs.
Even if she’s not his girlfriend, it’s okay to touch her, it’s not like she hasn’t done it before. Jiang Yimiao straightened her back again.
Seeing that Shen Man did not say anything more, Jiang Yimiao silently withdrew her hand as small as possible, but Zhao Shuming suddenly hooked her little thumb.
Jiang Yimiao glared at him from the side of her head, but not only did he not let go of her hand, he even intensified his efforts by applying some force to bring her hand towards his thigh, and pinched her fingers with his two fingertips.
“River, I’m doing what you do.” he whispered. He whispered.
Jiang Yimiao gritted her teeth and was speechless, she propped up her head and sipped two mouthfuls of hot tea, pretending that nothing had happened.
The foot at the bottom of the table kicked Zhao Shuming unconvincingly, the tip of her foot hooking onto his calf. Glancing at Zhao Shuming in the direction of his hand on his head, this person instead smiled more pleasantly.
Without the pleasure of teasing Zhao Shuming, Jiang Yimiao placed her foot back in its original position. Seeing that she didn’t kick herself anymore, Zhao Shuming even tickled her palm.
Adults always had a lot to talk about, not to mention old friends who rarely got together again.
Jiang Yimiao and Zhao Shuming instead became the quietest two people present, ignoring her parents’ occasional glances over, Jiang Yimiao still put her hand under the table and touched it, but Zhao Shuming’s legs were not very sensitive, and wouldn’t be tickled by her caresses.
He still maintains a serious look like a spring breeze as he eats his meals, occasionally pouring tea for the empty teacups.
Only the elders will always chat and chat to them, “Shuming ah, also to the time of the family, have not talked about love, or that quietly talk about it?”
Being called by name, Zhao Shuming raised his head, he said unhurriedly, “There’s no rush, there’s someone I like, but I’m still waiting for her to fall in love with me as well.”
He smiled gently, but his gaze was full of victory.
Zhao Shuming’s words were ostensibly said to a few of his parents, but they were actually said to Jiang Yimiao.
Jiang Yimiao subconsciously swallowed and grabbed the watermelon on the plate and took a big bite.
Zhao Yannan looked up at Jiang Yimiao, hearing Zhao Shuming say this was a bit depressing again.
Although she always felt that the tone of Zhao Shuming s words was a little strange, it sounded like she hadn t caught up with Miao Miao yet …… She then became a little anxious.
After the festival, she will have to go to England to work again, Zhao Shuming this person has always been bored to do things, never like to take the initiative and parents say. She was really a bit worried this time.
But she didn’t blame him for doing so, after all, she and Zhao Zhengcheng hadn’t spent much time with him growing up. They hadn’t even spent time listening to Zhao Shuming, so how was she qualified to ask Zhao Shuming to tell her everything in detail.
“There’s no hurry yet, you’ll be thirty in two more years.” Zhao Yanlan joked.
“Mom, don’t always add a year to my age in false years, it hasn’t been long since my twenty-seventh birthday.” Zhao Shuming said with a straight face, “Not as old as you say.”
Jiang Yimiao couldn’t help but laugh as she was munching on a watermelon.
Zhao Shuming originally didn’t care about his age, after all, his body was healthy enough and far stronger than the vast majority of twenty-seven year olds.
It was just that Jiang Yimiao had also said something about his age before, and this had made him a bit nagging. Twenty-seven was a good age, but Jiang Yimiao had every condition to choose a younger one.
“Twenty-something is still young, Shuming can be healthy, look at that figure and muscles, the old Chinese doctor testified. The body is very good.” Zhao Zhengcheng hurriedly said something nice for him.
In reality, it was also said to Jiang Yimiao.
Especially the last few words also deliberately aggravated the voice, Jiang Yimiao pursed her lips, silently thinking, indeed the body is good ……
Waiting for this meal to finish back home almost nine o’clock, Jiang Yimiao first thing is to rush into the bathroom to take a shower, and when she came out Zhao Shuming called her cell phone several times, she closed the door of the room, a rare lock the door of the room, jumped back on the bed and hurriedly called him back.
But Zhao Shuming hung up and called her on the video call instead.
Jiang Yimiao gripped a handful of her messy hair, lying on the bed without any concern for image, and connected, looking at Zhao Shuming’s appearance he seemed to have just finished showering as well, and the pajama buttons on his body weren’t fastened all the way up as usual.
She covered her mouth and whispered like a thief, “Show me the abs.”
“River, dying to see them?”
“I haven’t touched it all day, I want to see it!” Jiang Yimiao rolled over on the bed, mourning a depressed face and said.
“Fine, I’ll show you if you want to see it.”
It’s not that Zhao Shuming hadn’t studied the poses for taking pictures of his abs before, just so that one day Jiang Yimiao would ask him for a picture on WeChat on a whim, or one day he would send it to her “unintentionally” to make her happy.
But he hadn’t even practiced it yet, so he used these techniques.
Zhao Shuming stood in front of the room’s full-length mirror and lifted up his pajamas, posed and then turned the phone’s front-facing camera in front of himself, and peacefully displayed the skin on his abdomen in the best condition in front of Jiang Yimiao.
Jiang Yimiao felt a little itchy in the palm of her hand and wanted to scratch it. But tonight, both families’ parents were home, so there was no way she could sneak into his house like she did yesterday.
She rolled over again and picked up the doll, her palms grasping the doll’s stomach tightly while her two legs subconsciously clenched her quilt, “Lift it up a little more ……”
“Good.” Zhao Shuming completely obeyed her proposal, “Does Miao Miao like it?”
“Knowingly.” Jiang Yimiao said back.
Laughter came from the opposite side of the cell phone receiver.
Jiang Yimiao realized that Zhao Shuming always liked to ask questions like “Do you like it?
Even when he was in bed. Even when he was about to pass out on the bed, he would still ask her in her ear while panting, “Miao Miao, do you like this?”
Zhao Shuming clearly knew the answer she would give every time, and she bit her lip, realizing that this man was not as decent as he appeared.
Jiang Yimiao rolled over and yawned, whenever her head touched the pillow and smelled the cozy scent of the bed, Jiang Yimiao always became sleepy easily.
“Anything else that Miao Miao wants to see, it’s all fine. oh.” Zhao Shuming put his pajamas down and sat back on the bed.
Jiang Yimiao glanced away from herself, “When we return to South City, I’m going to eat you up!”
In their plan, they stayed at home for the holidays for a few days, and then returned to their home in South City to rest for the remaining three days of the vacation.
In the week before the holiday, Zhao Shuming was busy with the project application while she was busy with the promotion program, so it was time to rest.
“It’s also an honor to be eaten by Miao Miao.” Zhao Shuming laughed, and in his heart, he was thinking about what new tricks he should use to please her in order to do so.
Jiang Yimiao hugged the doll to cover her stomach and chatted with Zhao Shuming without a word, she had always thought that in dramas and novels the hero and heroine talking on the phone until they fell asleep and ran out of battery was an outrageous thing, and as a result, she also fell asleep while talking with Zhao Shuming .
The cell phone was resting right on the doll’s stomach, just enough to still capture Jiang Yimiao’s face, and Zhao Shuming just quietly watched the image of her falling asleep.
Obviously every day before, he also watched Jiang Yimiao fall asleep like this, although before it was directly face-to-face with her, and was able to directly hold her and watch her fall asleep, but today it was the feeling of looking at her through the cell phone screen was a little different.
The night outside the window of the songbirds rustling, not far from the neighborhood in the construction of a school, this time can even hear the sound of the crane operation.
But Zhao Shuming couldn’t hear any of these sounds, and he could only hear Jiang Yimiao’s breathing coming out of the microphone.
It always felt like a dream right now, and even a dream wouldn’t let him encounter such a beautiful picture ……
Zhao Shuming looked at the full moon outside the window and silently thought that he wished he could be with her every night.
Jiang Yimiao was too bored at home to kiss and cuddle with Zhao Shuming even if she saw him, she was bored and swiped through the new TV dramas that had been on air recently, but none of them turned out to be appetizing, she threw the remote control onto the sofa with some discouragement.
Tired of sitting, she adjusted her sitting position when her stomach grumbled, she suddenly craved for the coconut chicken that she went out to eat with Cheng Wenyao last time, people sometimes are very strange, their mind will suddenly want to do something very badly, for example, she now wanted to eat coconut chicken very badly.
That restaurant is a chain store, there are also stores in major shopping malls in Chancheng, Jiang Yimiao took out her cell phone and searched the map, and found that the nearest large shopping mall has one.
She called Cheng Wenyao without a second thought, “Hey, Yao Yao, are you free, do you want to eat coconut chicken?”
Worthy of being a friend who can play together for so long, a cry immediately came from the opposite side, “Yes!”
The restaurant as a whole was decorated in dark green tones, under the somewhat dim lights, wisps of white smoke rose from the pot of soup being boiled, Jiang Yimiao was mixing up the sauce that would later be dipped into the chicken, while elbowing Cheng Wenyao.
“How are you doing with that senior brother of yours lately?”
Cheng Wenyao’s views on love were a bit more extreme than hers, and she favored the option of not getting married or having children more than Jiang Yimiao did.
Jiang Yimiao was of the opinion that if she could meet someone who was genuinely suitable she could try to talk about it, and if not, the big deal was divorce.
Anyway, marriage has never been a failure or success for Jiang Yimiao.
Cheng Wenyao seems to be very resistant to the matter of love and marriage, after all, she does not believe that the reality will allow her to meet a good man, she would rather maintain a physical relationship with Lin Ke Yu, and do not want to give other more than. She would rather maintain a physical relationship with Lin Ke Yu than give any other more feelings.
She would rather keep a physical relationship with Lin Ke Yu than give any other feelings. To meet a clean man with a good bedside manner and a good sense of service was already an unexpected pleasure for Cheng Wen Yao.
Cheng Wenyao touched the tip of her nose, “It’s not good.”
“Didn’t you say that he confessed to you and refused?”
Jiang Yimiao suddenly remembered that two days ago Cheng Wenyao also met with Lin Ke Yu, this is not a break up.
“No, on the day of the school festival, people also accompanied you, hiss, you are still that kind of relationship?” Jiang Yimiao raised his hand, two hands up thumb touched each other.
“There’s no way, don’t quite give up.” Cheng Wen Yao touched her face and said sheepishly.
“Huh ……” Jiang Yimiao cried out coaxingly.
“Don’t talk about me, aren’t you and Zhao Shuming, you haven’t told your parents yet, you guys are so compatible in this situation, and your family is unlikely to object, so what are you afraid of? As long as their family doesn’t ask you to have a child then, I am both hands and feet support you guys to be together all the time, getting married ah whatever is not a bad thing, of course the premise is not to have a child.”
Cheng Wen Yao paused, “And didn’t your parents see anything at all in the past few days?”
Jiang Yimiao snapped her fingers, “I don’t know, if they can see it, they can see it, I don’t seem to be very afraid of being found out by mom and dad, I just think it will be a little bit embarrassing.”
“Huh.” She finished with two more dry laughs.
Cheng Wen Yao shook her head, “The two of you weren’t normal childhood friends, your parents are probably used to you being sticky since you were little, so it’s normal for them not to be able to tell.”
After all, Cheng Wenyao couldn’t tell that the two of them talked, if it wasn’t for Jiang Yimiao taking the initiative to say it, she wouldn’t have thought of it at all.
“Which is slimy, I’ve disguised myself well! Even the ring that symbolizes fortune was removed by me.” Jiang Yimiao waved her empty right hand, “Aiya don’t keep talking about Zhao Shuming and I. Quickly eat, this durian coconut jelly is really super delicious!”
“I also super like eating this one, the one from the last restaurant we ate at wasn’t good.” Cheng Wen Yao said as she took a big bite.
When they finished eating, Cheng Wen Yao drove Jiang Yimiao back home.
By the way, she also went up to her house for an ice cream.
The family happened to have guests, Shen Man’s sister and brother-in-law, Jiang Yimiao’s aunt and uncle.
When Shen Man saw that Cheng Wenyao had also come to the house, she hurriedly held her arm and made a place for her to sit down.
Cheng Wenyao’s parents were somewhat similar to Zhao Shuming’s parents in that they were both free-range.
When she was in middle school, she stayed at home and often came to look for Jiang Yimiao to play, sometimes even spending the night at her house.
In her senior year of high school, Jiang Yimiao only returned home once a month, and every time Jiang Zhixue or Shen Man went to pick up Jiang Yimiao, they would also pick up Cheng Wenyao, so Jiang Yimiao’s parents were very familiar with her.
To be able to study in the same school from middle school to university is already a great fate.
A handful of people were happily chatting with Shen Man when Zhao Shuming came to Jiang Yimiao’s house with a box of moon cakes.
Jiang Yimiao looked up at Zhao Shuming, whose hair was meticulously combed and who was wearing glasses, and she moved her butt so that she was sitting in the corner of the sofa, pretending to be watching TV seriously.
“Ah yo, home old more moon cakes, my unit, Uncle Jiang’s company have issued, you and Miao Miao back from the South City also brought moon cakes, now how to take another box ah.” Shen Man looked at Zhao Shuming and laughed.
“It’s the durian ice mooncakes that Miao Miao likes, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival she was chattering about it, so she thought of it and brought it over.” Zhao Shuming smiled and looked at Jiang Yimiao.
Hearing her name and the word durian, Jiang Yimiao’s eyes lit up, “I want to eat it!”
Zhao Shuming obediently sat beside her and took one of the mooncakes out, the rest being put in the refrigerator by Shen Man.
Although her stomach was already a bit full, Jiang Yimiao knew that she had always been a very greedy person, as long as she liked it, then she had to get it. When she was little, she even went to the hospital with a stomach ache after eating two or three bowls of rice because she liked a dish too much.
Fortunately, the ice mooncake is very small, eat a few bites can be finished, Jiang Yimiao bit three bites, delicious, but a little tired. She touched her somewhat bloated stomach and looked at Zhao Shuming with a deflated mouth.
Zhao Shuming didn’t say anything, but took the remaining mooncake in her hand and helped her with the last bite.
Cheng Wenyao left after sitting down, and after Jiang Yimiao sent her out the door, her aunt and uncle were still chatting with her parents.
She glanced at Zhao Shuming and cleared her throat, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted to find kindergarten and elementary school photos, I found them, let’s go to the room and take a look.”
She pulled a somewhat raw lie, purposely speaking to the people in the living room, and then brightly entered her room with Zhao Shuming.
Jiang Yimiao hooked her back and carefully closed the door to her room, even putting a lock on it, only before she could turn around, Zhao Shuming held her wrist and pushed her against the door to her room, his body gradually converging with hers.
Jiang Yimiao gulped as she leaned against the door, and before she could react to what Zhao Shuming was about to do, her hand was grabbed by him and pressed down on his abdomen.
“Miao Miao said a while ago that my boobs don’t seem to be that big anymore, so I’ve been practicing seriously lately… Miao Miao, want to check the results?”
Jiang Yimiao blinked, her hand was moved upwards by him, even through her shirt she felt the alignment of his body lines.
She subconsciously pinched it, not knowing if it was an illusion, it made her feel as if it did seem to have gotten a little bigger again.
She raised her head just in time to see the knot in Zhao Shuming’s throat.
Jiang Yimiao couldn’t help but think of a couple blogger’s video she swiped today.
They all said that a boy’s throat knot was very sensitive and couldn’t be touched casually. But in her memory, she rarely kissed this part of Zhao Shuming’s throat knot, she always loved to bite the part of his aorta, and the rest of his neck wasn’t very interested.
Looking at the bulge in the middle of her neck, under the light, her shadow was reflected on Zhao Shuming, vaguely covering Zhao Shuming’s throat knot.
Jiang Yimiao’s other hand pressed down on Zhao Shuming’s shoulder, and ghostly stood on her tiptoes to put her lips on the bump at the knot of her throat, and the tip of her tongue even gently swiped over the spot.
Jiang Yimiao seemed to hear Zhao Shuming gasp impatiently above her head ……
