Rong Si took her hand and stared at her. He chuckled. Although the topic was too volatile for him to handle, he was genuinely pleased to hear her say it.
Su Jiu had just said that she would try. This meant that she had completely accepted him in her heart and could even establish the closest relationship between a man and a woman.
Just as Su Jiu was immersed in his dazzling smile, she heard him say, “I will definitely do my best to satisfy you.”
Su Jiu wanted to cover her face and escape. She should not have discussed such a topic with him. In the end, wasn’t I the shy one?
Since she was the one who had brought this topic up, Su Jiu felt uneasy throughout the entire movie. When they left the cinema, her face was still hot.
When they walked out, Rong Si naturally held her hand again. Su Jiu looked at him in shock. He coughed lightly and said, “There are many people here. What if you get lost?”
Su Jiu smiled at him. “Okay. Then you have to hold my hand tightly. Don’t let me get lost.”
Rong Si’s eyes darkened when he felt her return his grip. Their palms felt warm against each other. “Okay.”
The buildings overseas were very different from those in China. Su Jiu looked around and admired the beautiful night view. After walking for a distance, she suddenly saw many people surrounding a fountain. Curiously, she asked, “Big Brother, why are so many people in front of it? What are they doing there?”
Rong Si saw the fountain and explained, “That’s the wishing well. They say it’s very effective.”
Very effective?
“Really?” Su Jiu’s eyes lit up. “Then let’s go make a wish too, right? It’s even your birthday today, so your wishes will definitely come true!”
After saying that, she pulled him over excitedly. Rong Si was a little helpless. He never believed in these things, but since she wanted to go over, he would accompany her.
When he looked at the little girl’s excited side profile, a doting look appeared in his eyes that even he did not realize.
Su Jiu pulled him to a spot in the crowd and stood in front of the fountain. She made a wish in front of the tall centerpiece statue of Jesus. The girl prayed that her father and the little villain’s mother would get better soon. She prayed that everything would go smoothly for the little villain from now on. She prayed that he would become the big boss who looked down on everything and not suffer any more. And she prayed that she could be with him and that he would become hers…
Oh dear! Why do I feel so shy?
Su Jiu opened her eyes and patted her slightly hot face. Instinctively, she looked at the young man beside her and realized that he was looking back at her. His eyes were so deep that the lights around him seemed as bright and beautiful as the stars in the sky.
Unknowingly, she was entranced as if she had fallen into the vast sea of stars in his eyes.
“Done making your wishes?” Rong Si’s magnetic voice brought her back to reality.
Regaining her senses, Su Jiu nodded in embarrassment. “Yes!”
“What did you wish for?”
“You didn’t tell me what you wished for. Why should I tell you?” Su Jiu said righteously.
And if I told him that I’d made a wish that he could be mine, would he think I was being inappropriate?
Rong Si raised his eyebrows. “But what if I want to know?”
“I still won’t tell you.”
Her pout was adorable. The smile in Rong Si’s eyes deepened. The next second, he saw her turn and walk toward the square. She was walking fast as if she were avoiding the subject.
