Formally solidifying a relationship with so many added conditions, after both parties agreed, there was suddenly a sense of bewilderment.
As they weren't very familiar with each other, and the relationship was solidified so abruptly, Chen Jiaojiao, no matter how assertive, was still a woman. In her embarrassment, she could only pretend to be calm and stuff food into her mouth.
Xiang Yang watched her delicate features and elegant movements from across the table, his heart pounding.
After a few seconds of silence.
"So, we are boyfriend and girlfriend now?"
Why was he still asking?
Chen Jiaojiao hardened her resolve and lifted her eyelids.
"Can't you be more of a man? You call yourself a wolfdog, so stop asking such useless questions and just come sit here!"
You said it yourself.
This small cherry-red mouth, always so plump like a little cherry, was so lovable. Xiang Yang had desired it for a long time.
After she finished speaking, it was as if he had received a pass. He sprang up, walked two steps to Chen Jiaojiao's side.
Mimicking her actions from that day, he forcefully turned her head and leaned in to kiss her.
For about a minute, Xiang Yang couldn't breathe anymore and reluctantly released her.
He leaned close to her ear, not daring to breathe heavily, exhaling in a muffled manner, his hands still trembling slightly. Chen Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh.
"Am I your first love? Have you never kissed a girl before?"
Xiang Yang felt a little embarrassed, but he stood up straight and admitted it.
"So what if I have?"
"Very good, excellent. I've hit the jackpot this time."
Chen Jiaojiao patted his face contentedly.
"Your technique needs improvement, though. Do you want more? Shall I teach you?"
She was teasing him again. Xiang Yang pressed the back of her head and leaned in for another kiss.
He thought to himself: I will definitely become stronger and stronger, and one day I won't give you a chance to laugh.
A man freshly experiencing the sweetness of love possessed a patience and clinginess comparable to an infant.
They ate dinner for over two hours, during which Xiang Yang held Chen Jiaojiao's hand and snuggled close to her the entire time.
Even though it was the middle of winter, being so close for so long made them warm. By the end, Chen Jiaojiao was getting impatient.
"My lips are almost chapped, can you just let me eat in peace?"
Xiang Yang said with justification, "Who told you to be so beautiful? I just can't help myself."
What a character.
On the way back, Xiang Yang drove, holding the steering wheel with one hand and Chen Jiaojiao's hand with the other.
He would occasionally glance at his stunning girlfriend beside him and then at the magnificent and bustling streetscape outside the window. His heart swelled with joy, wanting to roll down the window and shout a few times to the outside world.
But he still had a bit of that rationality.
He couldn't help but want to share with Chen Jiaojiao.
"Do you know what I suddenly remembered?"
Chen Jiaojiao looked at his foolishly happy expression and couldn't help but laugh along with him.
"What?"
"Did you watch My Fair Princess when you were young?"
"Of course. We're from the same era, so I've seen everything you've seen."
"Do you remember how Xiao Yanzi just recognized Xiao Jian as her brother and was so excited she couldn't help but show off to everyone on the street, saying 'I have a brother, I have a brother'?"
Chen Jiaojiao burst into laughter, amused by him.
"How can you, a grown man, remember such a childish plot so clearly?"
"I don't usually think I remember it clearly, but today, after holding your hand, I suddenly thought of that scene."
"I'm also a person with a girlfriend now. Chen Jiaojiao is my girlfriend. I feel the same as Xiao Yanzi right now, I really want to tell the whole world."
Chen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him, "Silly."
"It's not just you; every couple in love feels the same way. Otherwise, why would so many people post photos online to show off their affection? It's the same feeling as wanting to announce it to the world."
Right, no wonder people always like to show off their relationships on their social media. So that's the reason.
Xiang Yang turned his head to look at her, "Then us..."
"No."
"You don't even know what I'm going to say, and you're already saying no?"
Chen Jiaojiao knew what he meant and pulled her hand out of his.
"It would be bad for you if we break up later. Focus on your driving."
Xiang Yang grabbed her hand again, "I'm not afraid of any negative impact."
I'll never give you a chance to break up.
Xiang Yang thought to himself: One day, you will willingly appear on my social media.
They chatted happily all the way. When they passed a red light, Chen Jiaojiao saw a supermarket by the roadside and spoke directly.
"Are you going back to your dorm tonight? We're both adults, I don't like beating around the bush."
"If you don't want to go back, you can come to my place. Buy your daily necessities while you're at it."
Xiang Yang thought of other possibilities, and his face flushed.
He felt the pace was a bit fast, but at the same time, he was very grateful for Chen Jiaojiao's straightforwardness.
He drove to the supermarket entrance of his own accord, and Chen Jiaojiao waited in the car.
Before getting out of the car, he was still foolishly wondering, "What do I need to buy?"
"Are you a pig? Don't you know what you need for daily life?"
As he walked, he quickly planned in his mind. He picked out slippers, a toothbrush, a towel, and underwear.
At checkout, he pretended to be calm and grabbed a box of condoms.
The sales clerk had already tallied the price and asked if he needed anything else. After thinking about it, he added another box of condoms.
Seeing him rush out with a large bag as if escaping, Chen Jiaojiao laughed at him.
"Did the cashier say something to you?"
"No."
"No? Your face is so red, it's like you're afraid people won't know you're planning something bad."
Xiang Yang: "..."
"Hahaha, with you like this, you still call yourself a wolfdog? Just be my obedient puppy."
When they returned, Chen Jiaojiao bent down to change her shoes at the entrance.
She was wearing a very short black sweater today, paired with a knee-length skirt. Her bending down revealed a section of her fair skin.
Xiang Yang couldn't help but embrace her, resting his chin in the crook of her neck.
"How can you be so beautiful? I used to think my sister was the most beautiful woman in the world, but now I have to betray her. My eyes don't want to leave you for a second."
"You have such a sweet mouth. You've only been with me for a few minutes and you're already so good at coaxing people? I didn't see you react this much when I saw you before."
Xiang Yang didn't know what was wrong with him before, thinking of her as a bossy older sister and having no other thoughts, wasting time.
"I don't care about before, but now I just can't get enough of looking at you. Can you let me hug you for a while longer?"
"Aren't you tired of hugging me for over two hours during dinner?"
"Not tired."
"But we still need to shower and sleep."
"Us?"
Xiang Yang had already developed impure thoughts. He interpreted everything Chen Jiaojiao said in a suggestive way.
Chen Jiaojiao flicked his forehead with her finger.
"Indeed, all crows are black. Men's minds are all the same, you're not a good person either."
They went to shower separately. Yesterday, Chen Jiaojiao went straight back to the bedroom after showering, and Xiang Yang hadn't seen her appearance after her shower.
Today, she had long hair, a clean face, and was wearing a cute coral fleece pajama set.
