“You’ll get old quickly if you keep frowning. I don’t want my boyfriend to become an old man fast!”
A smile lit up Ji Ziming’s eyes upon seeing her bright smile and feeling the warmth between his brows.
This warmth seemed to reach his heart, making it beat fast as he fell in love with her all over again.
He reached for her hand and then brought it to his lips for a kiss.
This action instantly set Pei Ge’s cheeks ablaze, making them resemble two red apples.
“Wow! Look at how sweet they are.”
“That kiss on the hand is so romantic…”
“Still, that handsome man’s girlfriend looks a little…”
As it was afternoon, quite a few young people were in the neighborhood.
The surrounding whispers reminded her that they were in public; hence, she coughed lightly and retracted her hand from his grasp.
“Cough, cough, cough! Ziming, let’s get in the car first.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
He also noticed the crowd around them. Sweeping his gaze across them in displeasure, he gently opened the car door for her.
Bang!
Once he hopped in the car himself, he stepped on the accelerator and left her neighborhood.
While she watched the flashing scenery outside the window, she curiously asked him about his plans.
“Ziming, where are we going?”
“To the cinema to watch a movie,” he neutrally replied.
“Pfft! We’ll truly watch a movie, huh! And here I was thinking that you’d give me a surprise!” She burst out laughing.
He peered at her lightly. Noting her smile, he said softly, “I’m inherently boring and unromantic.”
“Ugh…” This reply made her smile disappear instantly.
Unknown if it was her hallucination, but she seemed to hear the self-deprecation in his words.
“Are you okay? Why are you bringing this up suddenly?”
She blinked at him with her round eyes.
“Do you like romantic people like Mu Heng?”
At a red light, the car stopped.
After he stopped the car, he turned to look at her.
“Huh?”
His question confounded her. She did not know what he meant.
They were just talking about their date, so how did Mu Heng get included in it? He even said such things.
Did… she go overboard in teasing him?
Her dazed look made him frown.
Their relationship was clearly stable, yet he felt something he had never felt before.
It was… the fear of losing something.
Perhaps due to his confession being planned by his friend and her saying that last night, he actually felt that he could not match up to his friend.
If that hedonistic man were to hear about what this young master was thinking now, he would probably laugh himself to death.
Luckily, though, she quickly returned to herself and shook her head while peering into his obsidian eyes.
“Ziming, why would you think that?
“Even if I like romantic stuff and surprises like other women out there, those are actually unimportant to me. What is important is the person doing them.”
She lightly rested her hand on the back of his and then sincerely told him. “I like you. I accepted your confession not because you were romantic but because I like you.”
He suddenly found himself to be laughable as he listened to her sincere words.
Indeed, people in love really had a negative EQ.
“As for that playboy, it’s not that I want to say this, but I hate his type the most. Glib-tongued, dandy, unreliable, and a total flirt – who knows how many women he has played around?” she spat in disdain. After stepping on the Casanova for a while, she then turned to praise him with a grin.
“I like you the most! I think that no man in this world can compare to my boyfriend!”
Her unrestrained confession made his lips curl up.
“Pei Ge, remember your words now,” he lightly said, his eyes smiling.
“Mhm!”
She nodded vigorously, asking thereafter, “I already said this much, so what about you? How do you see me? Do you have the same thought as I do?”
He cocked a brow and sized her up with his dark yet clear eyes.
This somber look made her, who was just joking around, feel a little nervous.
“Ziming…”
She was about to ask him why he was looking at her like this when he spoke.
“Hmm…” He hummed softly, as if pondering a serious issue, and said, “Thinking for a while, I think I shouldn’t lie.”
“Huh? What ‘shouldn’t lie’?” She looked at him, baffled.
“Although you are my girlfriend, I can’t go against my conscience and say that no woman in the world can compare to you,” he slowly explained under her curious gaze.
“…” Her lips twitched at this. She knew that she was a plain woman. Forget about comparing herself to all the women in the world, she might be unable to match those nearby.
However, hearing this from him still made her feel a little disappointed.
The stifle was killing her.
Before she could express her dissatisfaction, though, his next words instantly brought her from her disappointment to the heavens.
“But from a boyfriend’s perspective, my girlfriend is the best in the world and the only woman who has ever moved my heart. Yes, a stupid woman.”
He rapped her head with his fingers lightly and smiled widely.
“Ji Ziming, you’re so evil!”
The traffic light turned green at this point.
He floored the gas toward the cinema.
Amid smile and laughter, the two bathed in this cozy air did not know that a car was tailing them.
