Chapter 72

Sparing the two people who had seen a lot of the world were stunned for a few seconds, Shen Man closed the door in a swift and swift manner.

Zhao Shuming looked at the door panel that was closed again and held his forehead ……

A few heavy footsteps came from the corridor, “I’m going to lose my express!”

Jiang Yimiao mumbled to herself, she thought that her courier was not a very big one, but the actual size and weight of the courier exceeded her expectations, causing both hands to grip her courier and the cake box with some difficulty.

When she saw two people standing at the entrance of her home, the strength in her hands finally failed her, and one of the delivery pieces in her hand slipped out of her hand and smashed onto the tiled floor with a snap.

“Dad, mom?” Jiang Yimiao’s brows furrowed into a ball, “Why are you here?”

Jiang Zhixue helped Jiang Yimiao pick up the courier on the floor, Jiang Yimiao subconsciously glanced at her dad, for some reason she appeared to sense a hint of something wrong on her old father’s face who had always been emotionally stable to the point where his expression was nearly unchanged.

Jiang Yimiao swept another glance at the things in Shen Man and Jiang Zhixue’s hands, and could probably guess that they had come to celebrate her birthday.

But she didn’t think that her parents still liked surprises that much, and didn’t say anything in advance.

“Zhao Shuming is at home, why are you waiting outside the door?” Jiang Yimiao touched her pants pocket before remembering that she hadn’t taken her keys, so she knocked on the door again, shouting, “I’m back with the cake.”

Through a door, Zhao Shuming closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh, thinking that he would definitely look at the cat’s eye before opening the door in the future.

Jiang Yimiao saw no response from inside, and subconsciously knocked on the door two more times, the sound of the door lock turning faintly reached her ears, and she first peeked her head in, seeing Zhao Shuming’s appearance as well as Mom and Dad’s reaction just now, she seemed to have realized something as well.

When people are extremely surprised, they can’t really scream.

The four of them sat on the sofa and looked at each other.

Shen Man squeezed out a smile, swept a glance downward, and saw the rings on Jiang Yimiao’s and Zhao Shuming’s hands.

She had thought that they were at most in a flirtatious stage, but now it looked like it wasn’t that simple.

She touched the tip of her nose, “Eh, that was our fault for not informing in advance that we were coming, I didn’t realize that wanting to give Miao Miao a surprise had turned into a shock.”

Shen Man coughed two more times to clear her throat, “Young people, we all understand, what, what cos……”

“Cosplay,” Jiang Zhixue caught Shen Man’s words.

“Right, right.” Shen Man gritted her teeth to hold back the laughter on her face.

“Stop it!” Jiang Yimiao stood up and stopped in front of Zhao Shuming, “Mom and Dad, I’m the one who wanted him to dress like this, all, stop laughing.”

She lowered her head, feeling like the sky had collapsed.

There was still almost a month before the time she and Zhao Shuming had agreed on, Jiang Yimiao thought that she would showdown with her parents about the matter of falling in love with an acquaintance at that time, but how could she not have expected to be exposed by them in this way.

Shen Man tried her best to put away the smile on her face, stood up and put on a serious demeanor and held Jiang Yimiao’s hand, “Miao Miao, come over here with me, I have something to say to you.”

Jiang Yimiao frowned and looked back at Zhao Shuming, shuffled her slippers and followed Shen Man in the direction of the room.

Shen Man turned back and pulled Jiang Zhixue away as well.

Zhao Shuming was left sitting there alone.

“My room is here.” Jiang Yimiao waved her hand forcefully and pulled Shen Man, who had almost gone to the wrong room, to walk to the master bedroom.

Shen Man covered the door, “When was this between you two?”

“The first two months.” Jiang Yimiao snapped her fingers, sat on the bed and hugged her doll.

“Why didn’t you tell mom and dad?” Jiang Zhixue felt that it wasn’t like it was a bad thing, and somewhat didn’t understand his daughter’s brain circuits.

“It’s only been together, I’m afraid it’s not stable, and it’ll be awkward if we break up at that time.” Jiang Yimiao was honest.

“Then does Zhao Shuming’s mom and dad know?”

Jiang Yimiao shook her head, “I don’t know, we agreed to wait for three months before talking to you about this if we didn’t break up.”

Shen Man sat beside her, “Miao Miao, you wouldn’t be simply curious about what it’s like to fall in love and just talk to Zhao Shuming casually, would you?”

According to her understanding of her own daughter for so many years, she really didn’t look like she’d be open to liking other men. Not to mention getting married, she didn’t even look like she was likely to fall in love.

As for Zhao Shuming, they all knew that he did look like he liked Miao Miao.

But they were both in their twenties, and they hadn’t made much of a move, so Shen Man had never thought about love between a man and a woman in that way.

In real life, it’s hard for people who grew up together to be together in the true sense of the word.

“Mom, what are you talking about? Do I look like such a casual person?” Jiang Yimiao was a bit furious, “Then they must like each other before they get together.”

“Then I’m relieved.” Shen Man exhaled.

“This child of yours did not say to us earlier, otherwise today would not have bumped into you two …… gifts and brought some food are placed in the living room.”

Shen Man paused, “To make space for you two to have a two person world, your father and I will leave later.”

She turned back and poked Jiang Zhixue with her elbow, “Did you get the tickets for the zoo?”

Jiang Zhixue picked up his cell phone and waved it, “It’s booked.”

“Leaving so soon and not eating the cake?” Jiang Yimiao asked with some hesitation.

Jiang Yimiao knew that her parents must still have a lot of questions they wanted to ask her, but it wasn’t a good idea to drive them away now, nor was it a good idea to keep them.

“Still here to stay waiting for you two to be embarrassed, look at how red your face is?” Shen Man couldn’t help but rub Jiang Yimiao’s cheeks.

“Mom and dad just want you to be happy, Shuming man is quite good, but you like is the most important thing. Although there are still some doubts in your heart, now is not the time to talk about it.”

She patted Jiang Yimiao’s shoulder, “It’s not like mom and dad are old fashioned, Miao Miao have fun with him today.”

The moment the door to the room opened, Zhao Shuming subconsciously glanced back as Jiang Yimiao tugged on the side seam of her skirt and walked out first.

“Then we’ll leave first, we booked tickets for the zoo to see the pandas, you and Shuming go according to your own plans.” Shen Man’s words were ostensibly said to Jiang Yimiao, but they were actually said to Zhao Shuming.

“Uncle and Auntie are leaving right now?” Zhao Shuming had already removed the animal ear hair band he was wearing on his head and stood up to walk to Jiang Yimiao’s side.

“Well, you two have a good time.”

Zhao Shuming pursed his lips and suddenly spoke, “Uncle and Auntie, I was the one who liked Miao Miao first, and it was me who pursued her before she agreed to be with me.”

“I will always love her.”

Jiang Yimiao looked up at him with some surprise, her fingers subconsciously tugged at his clothes, what does he mean by saying this now.

Shen Man opened his mouth, but did not say anything, just smiled and answered a good, until when she walked to the door, she said, “Trouble you to take good care of her.”

Jiang Yimiao’s brain was still a little heavy, even a little dizzy, and not a single word could pop out.

She just remained silent as she saw her mom and dad’s departing backs.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Yimiao’s entire body went soft and collapsed directly into Zhao Shuming’s arms, she stood on her tiptoes and buried her head in the hollow of his shoulder, “What should I do, it’s so shameful.”

Jiang Yimiao felt like she was about to cry, she was originally a person who was a bit afraid of embarrassment, especially on behalf of others. Right now she felt her scalp go a little numb, and it seemed like she could still hear the sound of blood vessels pulsing by her ears.

On weekdays, even if she did anything more intimate with Zhao Shuming, Jiang Yimiao didn’t feel like her face would turn red like this.

Zhao Shuming composed himself, wrapped his arms around Jiang Yimiao, and touched her head again, smiling helplessly, “The one who’s really ashamed and making a fool of myself is me, what are you ashamed of, Miao Miao?”

She lifted her head with a deflated mouth, a still hard gaze falling on him, not knowing if it was because the temperature in the room was a bit hot, or if he did feel a bit ashamed too, Jiang Yimiao felt a thin layer of redness floating on Zhao Shuming’s face as well.

She lowered her head again and pressed her face against Zhao Shuming’s chest.

“Will you blame me, Miao Miao?” Zhao Shuming coldly changed the topic.

Jiang Yimiao fluttered her eyelashes, not understanding Zhao Shuming’s words for a moment, “Blame you for what?”

“Blame me for revealing myself before I could wait for the promised time.” Zhao Shuming bent over slightly and pressed his face against her forehead, “Didn’t I promise you before that I wouldn’t break up after three months before talking to my parents?”

Her arm wrapped around his waist, her small arm pressed against the waistband of her white apron, the lace waistband tied into a bow tickled the skin of her arm a little.

Jiang Yimiao leaned into him and shook her head vigorously.

“They know then.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know my parents would be here today, and I didn’t know that you happened to change into this dress.”

Jiang Yimiao’s brain seemed to be buzzing, until now she hadn’t distracted herself to purposely observe this dress on him.

“But you’re wearing this, it’s kinda good looking ……” It was just that Jiang Yimiao was a little sad, it felt as if her surprise was gone.

Jiang Yimiao knew that according to Zhao Shuming’s plan, as soon as she returned home with the cake and opened the door she would definitely see Zhao Shuming standing at the door waiting for her to come home in this outfit.

And she would definitely jump on Zhao Shuming’s body and give him a nibble.

“If Miao Miao likes it, it’s worth it to make me make a fool of myself.” Zhao Shuming laughed, he was a very relaxed person, his only worry was just whether Jiang Yimiao’s parents would have a worse impression of him.

“What did Uncle and Auntie say to you in the room just now?”

“Didn’t say much, just asked when we’d be together and such.” Jiang Yimiao rolled her eyes, remembering the conversation she just had in the room.

Jiang Yimiao raised her head and reached out to touch the top of Zhao Shuming’s hair, “Why is that ear missing?”

“I just took it off, I’ll put it back on now if Miao Miao likes it.” Although Zhao Shuming’s clothes covered his body tightly, there were a few buttons on his upper body, while the apron only covered the lower half of his body, and if the buttons on the upper part of the clothes were unbuttoned it would expose the skin on his chest.

Probably because Zhao Shuming’s chest and shoulder circumference was slightly larger, it appeared a bit braced, and the black fabric vaguely outlined his muscle alignment.

Jiang Yimiao picked up the ear hair band and put it back on his head, and Zhao Shuming bent down and voluntarily lowered his head, also putting the bell collar he had just kept forgetting to put on around his neck as well.

She stroked the furry ears as they went, “So cute.”

“Really cute.” Jiang Yimiao couldn’t help but say it again. Her hand moved down from the top of Zhao Shuming’s head and landed on his shoulder.

Before she could jump onto Zhao Shuming, he instead picked her up whole first, “Does Miao Miao want to eat the cake first, or do you want to enjoy the service of a puppy manservant first?”

Zhao Shuming said while gently pressing his lips to her face, his warm, soft lips gently touching her cheeks as if he was rubbing his lips against her skin.

Jiang Yimiao touched her stomach, which had only been full from breakfast, and remembered that she had put her birthday cake in the freezer to freeze, so she wasn’t afraid that it would spoil. She looked sideways at Zhao Shuming and hooked her hand around his neck coming close to bite his earlobe, “I want to eat …… first.”

“Eat the puppy manservant first!”

Receiving the expected answer, Zhao Shuming let out a low laugh.

His arms pawed Jiang Yimiao’s body, then carried her straight in the direction of the bedroom, but to his bedroom, after all, he had already made all the preparations in the bedroom.

The dark curtains greatly blocked out the light from outside the window, the weather was a little cooler in the first two weeks, and when Jiang Yimiao thought that autumn was coming to the South City, the weather suddenly got hot again this week.

The long sleeves that had been packed out of the closet had been stuffed back in, and if it was a sunny day, it would still be hot enough to turn on the air conditioner indoors even if it was almost November.

Jiang Yimiao pressed herself against Zhao Shuming’s chest, her ears filled with the sound of his pounding heartbeat.

She wore a new dress today, one of the few rituals she had on her birthday, and Jiang Yimiao sat on the edge of the bed, her legs dangling off the edge and shaking her calves in boredom.

She lifted her head and watched as Zhao Shuming set the air conditioning in the room to the optimal temperature, and then came around to squat in front of her.

Jiang Yimiao’s gaze went from looking up to looking down.

Only to see Zhao Shuming pulling up his skirt and half-kneeling in front of her, his warm hands picking up her hands and pressing Jiang Yimiao’s palms to the side of his face, rubbing his face gently up and down along her palms.

“Miao Miao, hiss, no, now it should be called Master, Master Miao Miao?”

Hearing his voice, Jiang Yimiao’s breathing stuttered, then quickly became rapid, she only now realized that Zhao Shuming was wearing a new pair of glasses, and her fingertips were right against the edge of his frames.

“Master Miao Miao?” He called out again.

Jiang Yimiao felt as if her face was now swollen and hotter than when she had just met her parents.

Zhao Shuming said something like this, but his eyes underneath his glasses were full of aggression, making her feel like she was the one who was going to be eaten later, not Zhao Shuming.

Seeing that she was a bit dangly, Zhao Shuming’s smile became even more pronounced, he lowered his head and kissed her palm, seeing that she didn’t dodge in any way, Zhao Shuming continued kissing her palm, from her palm to her wrist ……

“It’s a bit itchy …… ” Jiang Yimiao would only pull her hand away at this point.

She looked down at Zhao Shuming’s outfit, which fit her imagination perfectly, and she was so playful that she hooked her foot up to wear it under the hem of her manservant’s dress.

“Does Miao Miao like me dressed like this?” Zhao Shuming, however, held down her ankles.

“Like it.” Jiang Yimiao bit her lip and said, “Like it a lot.”

“How much do you like it?” Zhao Shuming held her ankles and brought them towards himself, allowing her to step onto his body through the fabric of the manservant dress.

The moment she felt his body parts, Jiang Yimiao stiffened for a split second, not expecting Zhao Shuming’s reaction to come so quickly.

But in an instant, she recovered from her surprise.

No longer needing Zhao Shuming’s guidance, Jiang Yimiao took the initiative to gently step downwards, causing Zhao Shuming to muffle a grunt as he knelt directly in front of her.

Jiang Yimiao’s fingertips hooked onto Zhao Shuming’s chin, causing the two of them to look at each other again, “I like it so much, I want to film you like this.”
