Chen Ziming woke up close to six in the afternoon.
He found a soft, delicate girl nestled in his arms, sleeping soundly. A little drool had escaped the corner of her mouth, and her thick eyelashes trembled with each breath. Her arms were wrapped around his chest, and one of her legs rested on his.
She always carried a fragrant scent, sometimes sweet, sometimes fresh, and sometimes intoxicating.
No matter the scent, it was utterly captivating.
Su Yue had been dreaming.
In her dream, she had fallen off a cliff and was desperately searching for an exit, but couldn't find one. In her despair, she felt someone pull her, pinning her down. A pair of hands caressed her body, and she felt herself grow warmer, her entire being flushed with heat. Her eyes were covered, so she couldn't see the person's face…
She wanted to struggle, but the person held her even tighter, then kissed her neck…
Wait, she wasn't dreaming!
She opened her eyes. The man had moved from her neck to her collarbone, and the tingling sensation made her want to scream.
"Chen Ziming?" she called out, still groggy and a little nervous.
"Mm." he responded. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Who could possibly still be asleep?
Just as Su Yue felt like she was about to explode, the man suddenly leaned down, his voice like orchids from her ear:
"Baby."
Her mind went blank, a familiar sensation washing over her, erasing everything else.
…
In the dining room, Chen Ziming arranged the ordered dishes. Su Yue had tidied up a bit later and only now walked over.
She walked towards him thoughtfully, wiping her hands with a napkin.
"Eat," he said, pulling out a chair for her and seating her, then sitting beside her and serving food onto her plate.
"What did you just call me?" she asked him seriously, looking at him.
"When?"
"Just now… when you were like that. You leaned down and called me baby, didn't you?" She tossed the used napkin onto the table and pressed him for an answer.
Chen Ziming put down his chopsticks and looked at her, a hint of interest in his expression. He countered,
"Did I?"
"Yes, you did." She was certain it wasn't an illusion; he had really called her that.
"I don't remember." He smiled faintly and added, "But if you like it, I can call you that from now on."
He didn't remember. It seemed it was just the moment, spoken out of instinct.
"Eat first," he said, picking up her chopsticks and placing them in her hand. He paused, then added, "Baby."
Su Yue, who had been pondering, felt her scalp tingle and goosebumps rise when she heard him call her that again.
"Don't call me that, it's too cheesy," she sternly forbade him, then began to eat with peace of mind.
She was genuinely hungry, and her thoughts were soon filled with the aroma of the food, so the little episode passed.
After eating, he suggested they go for a drive.
Su Yue had brought a few clothes and changed into a pretty white dress, tidying herself up a little.
When she was changing her shoes by the door, she noticed Chen Ziming was also wearing a white t-shirt, which matched her dress perfectly.
There was a large full-length mirror by the door. Su Yue pulled him to stand in front of it. Yes, they looked very well-matched.
"Can I take a picture?" she suddenly proposed.
"Okay," he replied, his gaze towards her somewhat doting.
Su Yue first took a few mirror selfies with her phone. Feeling inspired, she then pulled him to sit down and adjusted the camera to selfie mode.
"Smile, Officer Chen. Aren't you happy to take a picture with me?" she said, looking at him displeasedly as he appeared a bit serious.
Chen Ziming smiled, a slight smile, but it was enough. Su Yue showed a sweet smile and pressed the shutter button.
It was perfect, no retouching needed. They truly were a match made in heaven!
"Send it to me," he suddenly said.
Su Yue looked at him, a little surprised. He frowned, "Can't I have it?"
"It's not that… what do you plan to do with it?" she asked softly, a bit curious.
After all, she had had a small motive in taking the picture.
