Chapter 73
Jiang Yimiao’s fingertips lifted Zhao Shuming’s chin up, her fingertips lightly rubbing along his lower jawbone a few times.
In fact, such an idea had flashed through her mind a long time ago-
Good looking, want to take a picture with the cell phone ……
Physiological liking would make her like any part of his body.
Jiang Yimiao thought, Zhao Shuming is probably because he knows her too well, really knows her aesthetics too well, or his own conditions are very superior. No matter what kind of clothes he wore or what kind of jewelry he wore, he always looked good in her eyes.
Especially when he was on top of her or underneath her with the most serious looking face, with slightly mesmerized eyes looking at her, Jiang Yimiao wanted to take a picture or record it.
But when she thought about the fact that nowadays there was no privacy in the world, and she was afraid that the photos on her cell phone would be leaked out, such thoughts just flashed by.
Sometimes she thought that her brain was just over-excited by the hormones, and only then would she have such strange thoughts.
Until now, she couldn’t help but say it.
Jiang Yimiao’s toes were still against his body, and as if she had developed a switch that would allow Zhao Shuming to catch his breath, she gently stepped down again.
Zhao Shuming lowered his eyelashes and looked at Jiang Yimiao’s hand that lifted his chin, and before Jiang Yimiao could retract, he pressed down on her fingertips and nodded, “Okay, Miao Miao can take a picture if she wants to.”
Zhao Shuming said as he moved his upper body closer to Jiang Yimiao’s direction.
He took out his cell phone and turned it around between his fingers before handing it to Jiang Yimiao, “My cell phone is right here, so Miao Miao can take a picture directly.”
Jiang Yimiao regretted saying this out loud, she realized that when she was doing these intimate things with Zhao Shuming, she was getting more and more irrational.
She shook her head, “Forget it, what if, what if the photos are leaked?”
Zhao Shuming smiled under his eyes and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Miao Miao is just taking pictures of me in a manservant’s outfit, it’s not a private photo. It’s not a private photo, the clothes are on perfectly, and there’s no flesh showing at all.” He paused, “Miao Miao just took a picture of me in a manservant’s outfit. He paused, “If you like it, it’s okay to take a picture.”
His warm palm pressed onto the back of Jiang Yimiao’s hand, and he lowered his head to kiss her sensitive palm. There was even the scent of the facial cleanser she had used to wash her face this morning on her palm, and the odor as light as thin smoke invaded the tip of his nose.
She had always loved using this brand of skin care products, and even the face wash had always used this one.
Whenever he smelled this scent, it made Zhao Shuming even more certain that she was by his side right now, and that he had become the closest person to her.
“Is it really okay?” Jiang Yimiao’s heart started to flutter again, and she didn’t have many pictures of Zhao Shuming in her cell phone.
She wasn’t much of a photographer herself, so even every time she went on weekend trips with him to the attractions around South City, she didn’t leave any photos behind.
But because she backed up her old phone’s photo album to her new phone every time she got a new one, there were still some old photos in her phone’s album, such as photos from her senior year bar mitzvah, high school graduation photos, and the few activity photos from college, and in these photos could occasionally clip Zhao Shuming’s figure.
“Of course, River wanted to take them because she liked them, right?” He still maintained the position of kneeling and sitting on the edge of the bed, slightly raising his head to look up at Jiang Yimiao, “I’m happy that you’ll like it.”
Jiang Yimiao still opened Zhao Shuming’s cell phone with some hesitation.
In the previous two months, he had recorded her fingerprints and face into his cell phone’s password lock system, which would make it easier for her to open his phone.
Zhao Shuming was very much looking forward to Jiang Yimiao checking in on him, hating that she would look through his WeChat and all other social media platforms, after all, it was a way for him to express his loyalty.
As a result, every time Jiang Yimiao picked up his cell phone, it was used to help her collect likes for her circle of friends, and then tossed the phone back to him without even looking at it after the likes.
She pursed her lips and opened the camera, Zhao Shuming’s current appearance was indeed not at all revealing, but it did not lose its color.
Under the yellowish light, the blush on Zhao Shuming’s face wasn’t half-hidden, and below his throat was a leather bell collar, the black bow looking a little whiter on his neck.
Zhao Shuming gripped Jiang Yimiao’s ankles tightly, leading her to step down harder on herself, his upper body straightened slightly, revealing the muscular curves in front of his body even more in turn.
“Miao Miao, shoot it, I’ll send it to you afterward.”
Jiang Yimiao wasn’t very good at composing pictures as well as taking pictures because she didn’t like taking pictures, but Zhao Shuming seemed to have prepared everything, even his posture, and she pressed the shutter button several times to take several pictures.
“Took a lot of pictures.” Jiang Yimiao said softly, scratching the album to look at a few of the pictures she had taken.
“How was the shooting, are there any that Miao Miao likes?” Zhao Shuming stood up and leaned over with his hands propped up on the bed, nearly wrapping Jiang Yimiao’s entire body.
“Quite nice.” She raised her head and felt his warm breath.
“Does Miao Miao still want to shoot?”
Jiang Yimiao gently shook her head as she put her phone on the bed, hooked one hand around his neck, removed his glasses and kissed her way towards his lips without hesitation. But with a small peck, she brushed her head away, “I want ……”
“Good.” Zhao Shuming’s reply was short. But Jiang Yimiao felt her body getting a little hot, his hand pressed into her skin, soothing her in a gentle way, like every time sex . Love opening like that, hugging, kissing, stroking as well as licking ……
Zhao Shuming had become the person who knew her body best in the world, knowing where her nerves were most sensitive and how to please her most gently.
Jiang Yimiao unbuttoned the buttons of his manservant’s skirt a few times and probed her hands through the clothing to his body, her fingertips falling back on her favorite bump to touch. Rise.
She knew that Zhao Shuming was most sensitive at this spot, and with just a light touch, his body could be sensitive enough to tremble slightly.
Zhao Shuming couldn’t help but smile, although she didn’t make him feel very good with such movements, she was like a curious baby who got satisfied, every time she touched a body structure that was different from hers, she would get a little excited.
So he never stopped Jiang Yimiao from these touches.
“Miao Miao, call it off if you’re uncomfortable.” Zhao Shuming hooked up the lace and leaned into her ear and said, every time he would start with these words, as long as he said these words already, it meant that the really good show was about to start.
“Mmmm ……” Feeling the touch of her fingertips, she subconsciously clamped her legs together and bit into his shoulder.
Her nails were also deeply embedded into his back.
His current appearance was too cute in her eyes, so cute that she completely lost her mind and bit on him randomly.
The spasm of blood vessels caused by the extreme excitement in her brain made her a little dizzy, while Zhao Shuming’s voice seemed to be unbroken in her ears, the sound of him talking, or the sound of his crotch bones colliding against each other.
“River, like this?” He asked in her ear over and over again, until she bit her lip “hmmm” he did not ask again, but he turned and began to ask: “So does Miao Miao like me, does Miao Miao love me?”
In the past, he would always confess that he loved her over and over again, and would rarely ask her repeatedly like today.
Jiang Yimiao felt the unusual warmth around her neck, and she loosened her hands nestled in his arms, cupping Zhao Shuming’s face to look at his somewhat moist eyes.
She somewhat reluctantly propped herself up and kissed him, her voice out of tune as she said, “Like, like ……”
“Miao Miao, I like it too, I love you.”
“I love you.”
Jiang Yimiao flopped down on the bed and wiped the corner of her mouth somewhat insatiably after drinking a mouthful of warm water.
Zhao Shuming was still doing a good job of cleaning up afterward like he had done every time before, checking her for any wounds as well as hugging and kissing her countless more times.
He returned to the bed and hugged her, still wearing that manservant dress, “Miao Miao, is there any uncomfortable feeling?”
Jiang Yimiao shook her head as she rolled over and smashed her legs into Zhao Shuming, burying her head in his and inhaling. Her throat was a little dry, and she didn’t really want to talk.
Zhao Shuming pulled something out from behind him and put it on her wrist.
“Birthday present?” Jiang Yimiao was stunned for a moment as she watched him fasten the clasp, “Hey, isn’t this the women’s version of the watch I gave you?”
“Well, wanted to have Miao Miao and I wear the couple’s model.” In addition to the household items at home, they even had the same sportswear, the same shoes, and Zhao Shuming wanted the same model even for the jewelry.
Jiang Yimiao smiled and didn’t say anything else, only when she looked down at the dial, Zhao Shuming was carrying something in his hand that suddenly crashed into her line of sight.
“A necklace?” Jiang Yimiao was stunned for a split second before realizing that this was even a gold necklace that she had added to her shopping cart.
She wasn’t exactly cold white skin, but her skin was fair, and the gold jewelry suited her well.
And now young people also love to wear gold, not to mention that she is also a money-loving financial fan, and has always been very fond of this kind of valuable and golden things. Just recently the price of gold soared too fast, two years ago she also bought some gold, this year but no more.
“Hmm.” Zhao Shuming picked her up and put the necklace on the side of her neck, “I feel like you quite like this one, so I bought it. It just so happens that the neck has been empty and needs something to add to it.”
“Like it?”
Jiang Yimiao nodded, “Does it look good?”
“It looks good, River looks good in any way.”
“Again, you’re flattering me with your eyes closed.”
“No, a liar’s nose gets longer.” Zhao Shuming pinched the bridge of Jiang Yimiao’s nose, “Miao Miao looks good even if she’s not wearing anything.”
Jiang Yimiao pushed him a bit explosively, “Talking dirty again, you’re learning!”
“I learned it from you, Miao Miao, have you forgotten, last time you said the same thing in bed, no, what you said was that I look best when I’m not wearing …… ”
“……” Jiang Yimiao touched the tip of her nose and turned her gaze away.
Zhao Shuming kissed her collarbone through the necklace, “No more messing with you, Miao Miao’s stomach is flatulent with hunger, quickly go late something.” He said rubbing her stomach.
But what Zhao Shuming was thinking was that he would be there for every birthday in the future, and would accompany Jiang Yimiao.
Jiang Yimiao was a little tickled by his kisses and laughed out straight, her hand couldn’t help but rest against his chest, “Mmm, I want to eat the biggest piece of chocolate on the cake!”
“Good.”
“I want to eat a big chicken leg today.”
“Good.”
“I-I also want ice cream.”
“Good ……” Zhao Shuming picked her up and walked out of the room straight in the direction of the kitchen, promising her words one by one.
Jiang Yimiao spent a slightly ridiculous . Kinky weekend, full of qi and blood con to start another week of social animal routine.
A week after her birthday, the sky in the southern city changed again like a face, and the wind in the early morning was very cool.
It was so cool that Jiang Yimiao brought the long sleeves in the cupboard to a conspicuous position again, and so cool that she had to shiver every morning when she came out of Zhao Shuming’s car.
“Autumn in South City is probably really here.” Jiang Yimiao muttered to herself, the golden afterglow of the setting sun already spread out by the window before she even left work.
She remembered that when she had just moved to Zhao Shuming’s house for a while, every day after dinner when she looked at the sky through the balcony window, the sky was still bright. In the last few days, night had already fallen before she even returned home.
Jiang Yimiao knocked on the keyboard for an afternoon, her head was dizzy and her head was fried, she rubbed her waist and stood up and walked to the window to count the number of parked cars downstairs, her fingertips intentionally or unintentionally hooked up the necklace around her neck, irregularly kneading her pendant.
The big project in the group was completed a few days ago, so she’s been taking it a little easier in the last few days, and she’s been informed by the team leader’s side that her promotion is secure. Thinking about her salary after the increase, Jiang Yimiao was inevitably a little happy, and no one had a problem with money.
This pleasant feeling has been maintained until she went home to eat a full meal, and after taking a shower, her mind is still thinking about next month’s salary before tax can finally have three to start.
She was relieved lately, but Zhao Shuming seemed to be busier, sometimes he didn’t have time to play with her in the evening, he had to deal with his latest work in his study, but he said it would be easier when he was busy in December.
She also knew that Zhao Shuming wanted to solve the work he had on his hands as soon as possible to squeeze more time out.
So Jiang Yimiao had already had several nights of watching TV alone in the living room by herself.
It was a northerly wind today, and the wind whistled and scraped across the ground and buildings, making a somewhat unpleasant sound on the glass windows.
The temperature indoors hadn’t yet cooled down, so Jiang Yimiao wore her newly purchased halter nightgown dress, wiped her bangs, which had gotten wet from the shower, and walked towards Zhao Shuming’s room with big, silent steps, tapping Zhao Shuming’s shoulder unannounced.
He put down what he was doing and took her hand that was pressed on his shoulder, “Miao Miao, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Yimiao blinked and glanced at his computer’s screen full of English, she broke Zhao Shuming’s chair and spun it halfway around so that he was facing her.
She then lifted the hem of her pajama skirt and sat across Zhao Shuming’s lap, “Still not done working tonight?”
“Busy, watching TV alone is too boring isn’t it, I’ll watch it with you.” He circled Jiang Yimiao’s waist and held her steady.
The neckline of this nightgown of hers was a bit low, Zhao Shuming subconsciously gathered her neckline up and pinched her palm again.
“It’s not ……” Jiang Yimiao rubbed against his leg, “There’s a happy thing.”
“What is it?”
“Smooth promotion, I got a raise!” Jiang Yimiao compared it to a three, “There’s three starts before taxes.”
“Wow, Miao Miao is so powerful.” Zhao Shuming had heard Jiang Yimiao mention this before.
It’s just that she didn’t like to mention work after work, and usually at home she didn’t like to talk about work-related things, so he didn’t ask much, and he didn’t expect to be promoted so quickly.
Zhao Shuming raised his head slightly, “Miao Miao is so happy, don’t you reward me?”
He closed his eyes and tilted his head, and Jiang Yimiao didn’t hesitate to give him a peck on the lips.
Zhao Shuming opened his eyes in satisfaction.
“Right, Miao Miao, if you’re free now, sign this agreement with me.”
“What agreement?” Jiang Yimiao frowned.
Zhao Shuming hugged her and turned the chair towards the desk, “The gift agreement.”
“What?” Jiang Yimiao was even more puzzled.
Zhao Shuming’s leg pawed her body, “Miao Miao didn’t you check to see that I’ve transferred the settling-in fee to your account?”
“The settlement money came down so quickly?” Jiang Yimiao was a little surprised, thinking that such a large sum of money would take a long process above the school.
“Well, see if you’ve received it, one million isn’t much, it arrived in real time.” Zhao Shuming had already signed his name on the gift agreement, he shoved the pen into Jiang Yimiao’s hand, she opened her cell phone bank to see that the money had called at noon today.
“You, you, I ……” Jiang Yimiao suddenly stuttered a little, she didn’t know what to say.
“Miao Miao, it’s okay, I’m yours, my money is also yours ah.” He handed the agreement into her hands.
“A million dollars really isn’t a small amount of money, so for your peace of mind, River please sign this gift agreement so you don’t have to worry that I’m going to ask for the money back, although in reality I won’t be doing that.”
“But for your peace of mind, I think it’s still necessary to sign this agreement.”
It was true that large transfers in a relationship were legally able to be claimed back, but if this gift agreement was signed, it would ensure that this money was actually put into Jiang Yimiao’s pocket.
“Zhao Shuming ……” Jiang Yimiao was a little hesitant, since her parents knew that she was in a relationship with Zhao Shuming, they were already prepared to place a property for her in the South City.
Even though her home was just over twenty kilometers away, both her parents and she did agree that having a house of her own before marriage would always give her some backbone.
As for a car, Jiang Yimiao really didn’t dare to go on the road or have the need to buy one, so she hardly had to spend a lot of money on it.
She doesn’t really know what to do with the money she’s saving, but she’s probably waiting for the future when she’s likely to be laid off because of her age to have the funds to support herself to continue to live happily.
In the Internet business, she herself couldn’t guarantee how long she would be able to work.
So having money in her hand did make her feel secure.
Zhao Shuming leaned on her shoulder, “River will sign if she likes me.” He paused and put on a resigned look, “Unless you don’t like me.”
“Okay, I’ll sign.” The money had already hit her, what room did she have to squirm, Jiang Yimiao glanced at the agreement and signed her name.
“We’ll go back to the notary when we’re free.” Seeing her name lying peacefully on the white paper, Zhao Shuming kissed her earlobe with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
“Uh……,” Jiang Yimiao rested her head on his shoulder and exhaled.
“Why are you thinking so comprehensively?”
“Because I love you.” Zhao Shuming had been able to say this without blushing or jumping, he knew that Jiang Yimiao was a high-need person, and he had to express his love in such a straightforward manner in order to make her happier.
Zhao Shuming couldn’t help but kiss her cheeks, “I love you, I love you, I love you ……”
He said it in a row for I don’t know how many times, and Jiang Yimiao covered Zhao Shuming’s mouth with some blush, “Alright, I know!”
Only when she saw that he stopped talking did she rest her head on his shoulder again.
The two of them hugged in silence like this, this side of the study was slightly farther away from the road, and the night was even quieter.
Jiang Yimiao sat on Zhao Shuming’s lap like this, unintentionally gently shaking her calves.
Zhao Shuming knew that this was something she would only do unconsciously when she was happy.
“Miao Miao, are you that happy?” Zhao Shuming rarely saw Jiang Yimiao that happy.
Jiang Yimiao wasn’t a happy-go-lucky person, but she wasn’t a sentimental person either.
Such a nature would make her rarely feel extremely happy or extremely sad.
When the weather was good, she might feel happy, and when the weather was bad, she would be a bit irritable. It’s just that the emotion would never be as obvious as it is now that she’s making it completely obvious.
“Well, it feels as if life is getting better and better.”
Jiang Yimiao didn’t know why she seemed to want to cry a little, and the tip of her nose rubbed against Zhao Shuming’s collarbone, quietly drawing in the scent of his body.
She was actually only twenty-five years old, but it seemed like all of her wishes in life had been realized.
Jiang Yimiao’s life was indeed quite uneventful, growing up as someone else’s child, an adolescence without a rebellious period, excellent grades and a satisfying job made it seem like Jiang Yimiao hadn’t experienced any setbacks either.
Her life is not much of a comeback story, she is always trying her best to do things within her ability.
Jiang Yimiao doesn’t have any greater ideals to pursue when her life has come to this point. But she felt that she was already very satisfied.
Especially now that she thought that there were still people in the world who loved her, she felt very happy.
The activation of mirror neurons as well as multiple mechanisms allowed humans to produce emotional contagion.
So whenever Jiang Yimiao felt happy, Zhao Shuming was naturally happy as well.
The night that belonged solely to the two of them was filled with such pure pleasure ……
“Miao Miao, let’s get married.” Zhao Shuming’s voice broke the silence in the study.
Jiang Yimiao’s movements of inhaling the scent of Zhao Shuming’s body stopped for a long time.
She slowly lifted her head up with a completely unresponsive look, “Ah?”
The air was once again quiet for a long while.
Until the sound of a car driving over the concrete floor with a sharp brake filled the mid-air outside the high floor, breaking the calm inside the house.
But Jiang Yimiao now seemed unable to hear any information coming from the outside world; it was as if she could only hear the sound of her own breathing.
As an afterthought, she realized what words Zhao Shuming was saying right now ……
In fact, Jiang Yimiao hadn’t not thought about it, since Cheng Wenyao had mentioned marriage without meaning to, she had actually thought about whether she would get married to Zhao Shuming when her brain was empty.
Jiang Yimiao thought about it carefully and realized with hindsight that they were only two marriage certificates away from being a married couple.
In her perception, her and Zhao Shuming’s situation is really a bit special, what should be done shouldn’t be done have done, and know each other for too long is too familiar with each other, familiar to even fight can’t quarrel, the two are still in a kind of stable cohabitation state.
So from love to marriage this process, she really can not find any reason to block.
Moreover, Jiang Yimiao also knew that it would be very difficult for her to meet another person that she could like, either psychologically or physically.
Jiang Yimiao still felt that her time with Zhao Shuming hadn’t been too long, causing her to think that marriage could wait until later.
Zhao Shuming had never mentioned the word marriage before, so Jiang Yimiao didn’t really think about it seriously. Jiang Yimiao had not really thought about it seriously. She had completely thrown away the idea of marriage, which was a master of life in the eyes of the older generation.
Zhao Shuming’s arms around her waist felt the stiffness of her body, his eyes inevitably revealed a few moments of trepidation, he held his breath and sank down, his arms around her waist unconsciously tightened their strength.
“River, I’m sorry.” He raised his head and buried it in the nest of her shoulder, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry ……”
Jiang Yimiao’s hand touched the back of Zhao Shuming’s shoulder a little stiffly, a little confused by his sudden apology, she sat on his body a little helplessly, without making the next move.
“Miao Miao, can you not reject me in a hurry? I’m sorry, I was too sudden, I shouldn’t have brought up such a question right now, you don’t have to rush to think about whether or not we’re going to get married, everything will just progress as you envisioned.”
Even though he was a bit flustered, Zhao Shuming still tried his best to keep his reason and logic.
The night didn’t allow him to control his sensual emotions either, and he couldn’t help but say the words that had been on his mind.
Even though Zhao Shuming had actually secretly measured Jiang Yimiao’s ring finger and was even ordering a ring, he thought that Jiang Yimiao probably wouldn’t be willing to marry him that early.
The warmth of his body dyed Jiang Yimiao’s skin through her thin pajamas, and even his breath between his words stained the side of her sensitive neck.
Jiang Yimiao felt her heart beating a little faster, and she could even feel the frequency and sound of her heartbeat against Zhao Shuming’s chest.
Jiang Yimiao slightly opened her lips and braced her hands on Zhao Shuming’s shoulders, gently pushing him away and pulling the two of them, whose bodies had just been tightly pressed together, a little further apart.
She cupped Zhao Shuming’s face, her fingertips brushing against the corners of his eyes, but the warm wetness felt as if it was going to scorch her.
Jiang Yimiao blinked and said, “Good.”
“What?” His voice began to tremble a little.
“I said.” Jiang Yimiao held her breath and let it out again in a deep breath, “Yes, let’s get married.”
“Miao Miao, you don’t have to force yourself, I just want to say that I only want to be with you in my life, and I will be with you no matter what, so I will want to marry you.
“If you think it’s too soon, you can think about it again, wait until our relationship is more stable aka talk for a while before deciding ……”
Before Zhao Shuming finished speaking, Jiang Yimiao deflated and covered his lips, “I’m not pushing it.”
She followed Zhao Shuming’s usual behavior when he kissed her and kissed his forehead, “I also want to be with you all the time.”
Jiang Yimiao didn’t feel the need to dwell on what love was, just like she didn’t need to dwell on her cuteness aggression.
Seeing cute things to vent about would make her happy, so there was no need for her to avoid this strange disease of emotions that was a bit extreme but wouldn’t hurt anyone.
Spending time with Zhao Shuming would make her happy, so there was no need for her to have to dwell on when he liked her and when she moved on.
Her cute desensitization hadn’t worked, so she didn’t have to avoid Zhao Shuming’s feelings or her happiness.
“Miao Miao, you’re not lying to me.”
Jiang Yimiao cocked her head and pinched the bridge of his high nose, “If you lie, your nose will get longer, I’m not lying.”
She cupped his face again, “Zhao Shuming, I like you too.”
Jiang Yimiao sat on his lap and played. The desire to play with him came back, and she purposely moved her body closer towards the front, her hands unconsciously feeling towards his body.
The neckline of the pajamas that Zhao Shuming had gathered together was loosened again, and it was almost impossible to cover much flesh in front of him.
Zhao Shuming let out an exasperated sigh of laughter, and very consciously picked her up and walked towards the bed.
The vibrations from his chest as he spoke traveled to her with a tingling sensation, and he said, “Miao Miao, I love you.”
He would always love her, more than he loved himself.
Zhao Shuming thought that maybe she was just too happy right now to agree to him, and maybe River would regret it when she woke up the next morning.
But it didn’t matter, he had already waited for more than ten years, he was very patient, he could take his time and wait for her to really love him too.
At least now she really liked him.
The cool wind whipped through the branches of the trees, whipping the leaves up from the treetops and dropping branches and unknown small fruits all over the ground.
They would have many nights like this alone for the two of them.
“River, I love you.” His voice softly reached her ears once again.
