Since the weather had turned warmer, they would not be needing those bulky down jacket despite still needing to wear a rather thick jacket. Qi Chengzhi was not wearing any gloves, so both of them snuggled closely with their hands and arms interlocked with each other.
Both of them strolled along the food street.
She remembered the first time they walked down a food street like this. It was the night when she discovered Jian Yi’s true colors.
However, her mood for both of these trips was vastly different. Her heart was all over the place when Qi Chengzhi held her in his arms.
At this moment, her entire heart belonged to Qi Chengzhi and it felt very calm.
They walked at a relaxed pace even though it was quite crowded with tourists.
Song Yu lowered her head and looked at the well-structured giant palm that was interlaced with hers. This was the hand that blocked Qi Chengyue’s wine glass and prevented her from being publicly embarrassed.
She never expected him to protect her at the expense of shaming Qi Chengyue in person.
No matter what, Qi Chengyue was still the bride of the day and his sister. Under normal circumstances, men would usually choose to help Qi Chengyue.
Song Yu was so touched by his actions. Any woman would hope for their man to stand by their side unconditionally and give a helping hand whenever they needed it.
Most of the women would also hope for their man to shield them from all harm, like the strong and reliable knight in shining armor they imagined.
Song Yu’s gaze trailed upwards from his fair-skinned hand to his arm and grazed past his black cashmere jacket, where she raised her head to look at the side view of his handsome, charming face.
She could smell his refreshing fragrance in the cool breeze while he was walking beside her. His towering figure made him stand out from the crowd, every part of his body including each strand of hair and pore exuded elegance.
Song Yu felt overwhelmed and held him even tighter as she leaned further on his arm. Her tender cheeks occasionally grazed his jacket due to the movements of their footsteps.
She gradually rested her forehead on his shoulders and wrapped her other hand around his arm.
Suddenly, Qi Chengzhi stopped walking. His action was not abrupt as they were walking at a rather slow pace.
He lowered his head and saw Song Yu’s face with a calm expression. Her drooping eyelashes fluttered gently.
He felt an itch in his heart as if a soft feather was tickling him gently.
He then lowered his head and kissed her forehead tenderly. His scorching lips grazed her forehead gently and spoke with a mellow voice, “What is it?”
Song Yu shook her head. Her cheeks were blushing red—like the red sky that was aglow with sunset. The skin that he kissed felt sleek and hot. She wrapped her hands around his arm strongly as if she wanted to weld him into her own flesh and blood.
“I just feel that… I’m really fond of you. How lucky am to have you reciprocating my feelings.” This was the first time Song Yu confessed to someone. She felt the back of her ears burning, and not daring to lift her head, she continued pressing her forehead against his arms.
She could feel Qi Chengzhi turning around. Before she even realized, he had extracted his sturdy arm from hers. Then, he tightened his arms around her waist, enclosing her into his embrace.
Song Yu still could not look at him after her outright confession just now. With her head lowered and burning ears, she could feel his breath approaching her. When her hairline brushed against soft lips, her whole body was so hot that she shuddered. His soft lips then left a burning trail on her skin and gently grazed the tip of her nose before landing on her lips. Her lips trembled upon his contact.
“You’re not going to fancy anybody else other than me, right?” He took a step back with his burning lips still attached to hers, breathing warm air into her mouth when he spoke.
If it was in the old days, she would be shaking and not saying a word as she was easily embarrassed. To his surprise, she openly answered him with an ‘uhm’.
In exchange for her answer, Qi Chengzhi tightened his embrace around her as if something rattled him. His searing lips grazed past the corner of her mouth to her ear lobes, where he pressed against her ears and spoke with a low, raspy voice, “How I wish I could ravish you right here, right now.”
After hearing what he said, Song Yu felt as if he was as hot as a grill, like the baking hot metal that was brought out from the fire pit.
All of a sudden, Song Yu came right to her senses and shuddered violently when a flurry of chill wind woke her. She realized that they were at a crowded food street. What took over her that made her confess to Qi Chengzhi here? She felt extremely embarrassed when she realized that both of them were kissing in the middle of a busy street!
Song Yu use the corner of her eyes to sneak a peek as she dare not look directly at the people around them. She noticed that many of them were staring.
Although modern society was more accepting and no one would criticize others for kissing in public, people still threw curious glances towards them.
She stumbled into Qi Chengzhi’s gaze that was full of desire once she lifted her head. His pair of deep-set eyes were devouring her like a whirlpool, leaving her no chance to escape.
“Let me go first, there are so many people watching us,” Song Yu pushed him with flushed cheeks.
Qi Chengzhi could not resist the shy expression on her face and planted another kiss on her cheek before releasing her. His burning palm went around her waist onto her hands and held it in.
Throughout the walk, Song Yu did not let her gaze wander around. Qi Chengzhi’s mellow voice sounded above her head, “Have you decided what to eat yet?”
Coincidentally, a breeze of wind mixed with the scent of stinky tofu blew towards their direction. Song Yu gave a quick scan and saw a stall that was selling stinky tofu.
Suddenly, a devilish thought arose in her mind. She glanced at a nicely-dressed Qi Chengzhi and asked, “Have you tried stinky tofu before?”
“…” Qi Chengzhi gave her a nonchalant glance. How could it be possible for him to try something like that?
Song Yu giggled and dragged him to the stall that was selling fried stinky tofu, “Boss, one serving please.”
Not long after, the stinky tofu was ready. The vendor removed it from the pot and packed it into a paper container before drizzling chili sauce onto it. Song Yu held the container with her hands, the burning temperature out of the pot managed to seep through the box and reach her fingertips.
Song Yu picked up a piece with a bamboo stick and stuffed it in her mouth. It was so hot that she kept puffing air out with an open mouth. Then, she poked a piece and took it to the corner of Qi Chengzhi’s mouth and said, “Try it.”
Qi Chengzhi raised his eyebrows with an expression that seemed like he would rather be a thousand miles away instead of eating it.
Song Yu sent it to his mouth and urged him again, “Just try it!”
He could not resist her prodding and ate one reluctantly, and refused to eat more. When he chewed, he was frowning so tightly that he could pinch a fly in between his eyebrows. He made it seem like eating a piece of stinky tofu was an undignified thing to do.
In the end, it was Song Yu who finished the rest before throwing the bamboo stick and paper container into the rubbish bin. She curled her palm slightly and brought to her mouth to huff into it. She blocked the exhaled air from escaping and took a sniff. It was filled with the smell of stinky tofu.
After that, she looked at both sides and saw there were not many people around. She waved her hand at Qi Chengzhi. When he responded and lowered his head, she tiptoed and kissed his lips at the speed of light and gave a swirl in his mouth.
When she landed her heels back onto the ground, Song Yu licked her lips with a blushed face, her crystal clear eyes were gleaming with mischief when she asked, “Does it smell?”
Qi Chengzhi burst into laughter. This was what she had planned all along. He never thought that she had a prankster inside her. The pair of sparkling eyes in front of him looked so exuberant, like those from a mischievous child.
His athletic hands hooked on the back of her waist and pulled her into his arms, before devouring her entirely.
“I ate it too, remember?” He pecked on her lips gently while he spoke.
