Rong Si got slightly distracted by her bright smile. When he regained his senses, he quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll work hard.”
By the time he came out of the mall with bags, the already gloomy sky was filled with dark clouds as if it was about to rain.
Rong Si looked at the clock. It was noon. He was about to ask Su Jiu if she wanted to find a place to eat when the rain started pouring. The rain started getting heavier, pouring down on people and soaking them in moments.
“It’s raining!” Su Jiu exclaimed. She immediately grabbed the little villain’s wrist and ran toward a supermarket in front of them. Many people had gathered there to avoid the rain.
Although the two ran fast, they still got drenched by the rain.
Rong Si looked down at the girl beside him. She had worn a white dress today. It was already wet from the rain and now looked translucent. Frowning, Rong Si glanced at the people around him. Seeing that most of them were tidying their hair and clothes as if they hadn’t noticed her, he felt a little better.
Then he took out a blue plaid shirt from the bag he was carrying and wrapped it around her without a word.
Su Jiu was tidying her damp hair when a jacket was suddenly wrapped around her, instantly dispelling the chill. She subconsciously looked up at Rong Si and saw him avoid her gaze. Rong Si said uncomfortably, “It’s a little translucent.”
What?!
Su Jiu hurriedly looked down at her dress and realized that it was really a little translucent. She could vaguely see her light pink bra inside.
Ahhh, the little villain must have seen it. That’s why he draped the jacket over me!
To hide her embarrassment, she deliberately said, “Big Brother, these are new clothes. Why did you put them on me directly? They’ll get wet!”
“It doesn’t matter.” Rong Si was unconcerned.
What’s a shirt worth compared to her?
Rong Si saw that the little girl’s hair was wet, a few of her hair strands stuck to her face, and some water droplets hung on her cheeks. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to wipe it off. “Are you cold?”
Su Jiu was on her period, and now she was wet from the rain. Rong Si hoped she wouldn’t catch a cold.
She met his concerned gaze and shook her head, but then sneezed.
Rong Si immediately reached out and pulled her to him, leaning close so that their warmth passed between them. He wanted to warm her this way, but he couldn’t bring himself to take her directly into his arms.
Unexpectedly, the little girl leaned into his arms and rubbed her face against him obediently.
Rong Si instantly felt a warmth in his heart. He felt like his blood was surging. Awkwardly looking away, he said in a low voice, “Idiot.”
Su Jiu immediately looked up and angrily replied, “How am I an idiot? You’re the idiot! Rong Si, you’re the most idiotic person in the world!”
She had made it so obvious. If he knew what was good for him, he should just hug her and be done with it.
How could he be so oblivious!
How disappointing!
Su Jiu had barely finished when her nose itched and she sneezed again.
Oh no, my immunity will drop during my period. I won’t catch a cold like this, will I?
Rong Si’s gaze returned to her face, his eyes troubled. The summer rain came and went quickly. When it had eased considerably, he took her hand without explanation and headed out. Hailing a cab at the curb, he opened the door and shoved her inside.
When he sat beside her, Su Jiu asked curiously, “Where are we going now?”
