Chapter 23 - Kissing
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to wash my hands. It's just that because I only have this sink, I can't do anything about it. This will do for me."
Hearing his helpless tone, Shao Ran felt as if he was stuck in a pit of his stomach;
Gritting her teeth, she said unhappily: "Ji Jingbai, when did you become so shameless?"
"Ever since I couldn't find you, I've changed. You've also changed. We've all changed. So, there's nothing to be curious about." Ji Jingbai's tone was light as he held her hand and carefully rubbed it.
Shao Ran was a little uncomfortable because of him. She wanted to struggle free, but she couldn't stop him from using her strength.
After he had finally washed them clean, Ji Jingbai took the towel and wrapped her hands together, carefully wiping the water stains on each of her fingers. That attitude, made her feel that her two hands were like rare treasures, requiring her to carefully protect them, cherish them and protect them.
He originally thought that after wiping his hands, he would be able to let go of himself.
But seeing that the lips in front of him had suddenly pressed down, Shao Ran still had a blank look on her face, not knowing what was going on.
Why did he Did he kiss her?
It was the same feeling as in his memory
"Mom, how are you doing? An An's already hungry. "
Hearing Shao An's tender voice coming from outside, Shao Ran's eyes suddenly widened roundly, and his consciousness that had been floating away finally floated back to him. Using all of his strength, he fiercely pushed and actually miraculously pushed Ji Jingbai away, escaping his shackles.
"Ji Jingbai, you've gone too far!"
Completely subconscious, Shao Ran raised her hand and was about to slap his face.
However, when his hand was swung into the air, it was grabbed by Ji Jingbai, who held it in his hand and could not move at all.
"Shao Ran, you can be angry but you can't hit me. I won't be happy."
Hearing that, Shao Ran immediately laughed out in anger, her face full of ridicule: "You're not happy? I'm not happy! Ji Jingbai, are you mistaken? Who is the one who is shameless now?! "
"Shao Ran, don't get ahead of yourself," Being scolded right by the nose, Ji Jingbai was also a proud and arrogant person, how could he take it, and immediately had a cold face.
Seeing that, the courage that was difficult for Shao Ran to muster due to her anger instantly disappeared without a trace.
In the end, she was still afraid of Ji Jingbai. Whether it was his power, or his temper, he was afraid.
With a move of his wrist, Shao Ran pleaded in a muffled voice: "Let me go, An An is still waiting for me outside, he will be scared."
Hearing her mention Shao An, Ji Jingbai stopped making things difficult for her and released her. She walked out of the room ahead of him and picked up Shao An who was waiting at the door with a gentle voice and warm smile, "An An, we were talking about some matters just now, so we were a little slow."
If he hadn't come out to disturb her, it would have been
Thinking about these charming and gentle scenes, Ji Jingbai's expression became somewhat uneasy. He let out a light cough, using it as a cover.
Hearing the noise, Shao An turned his head and frowned, he asked: "Mom, what's wrong with your mouth, why is it red, did you secretly eat chilies inside?"
In his tiny memories, there was only one time where he had accidentally eaten chilli peppers during a meal, and her mouth had become like this. Thus, right now, he naturally understands it this way too. "
However, when these words reached Shao Ran's ears, she felt extremely awkward. She did not realise what was happening at the moment, and choked on her saliva, covering her mouth and coughing for a long time before she managed to calm down.
"No, Mom didn't eat chilies, it's just, just "
Even after a long time, Shao Ran still could not come up with a suitable explanation, so she could only wave her hand and skip over the topic. With a forced smile, she said: "Didn't An An just say she is hungry, then let's quickly go eat, if not it will taste bad when it gets cold."
As she said that, she stepped forward to carry Shao An. However, she didn't expect Ji Jingbai to dodge her move and directly carry him towards the dining table.
Even though Shao Ran was slightly dissatisfied with this, she did not say anything. She pursed her lips, pretended that nothing had happened, and quickly followed.
He looked at the few dishes on the table. Although they didn't look too good, they still tasted acceptable.
After looking at the dishes, Ji Jingbai suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Last time when Lin Shen came over, did he eat the dishes that you made yourself?"
When Shao Ran heard him ask that question, he did not have the time to react. Shao An immediately answered first: "Yes, the last time Uncle Lin came, it was mother who cooked the dishes. Uncle Lin also praised that Mom's dishes were very delicious."
If Shao Ran wanted to stop her again, she would already be unable to, but she could only stand there awkwardly, at a loss of what to do.
"The last time I came, you cooked me an Egg-Fried Rice. You are still as perfunctory as before. When it comes to Lin Shen, you are quite friendly." The more he said, the angrier he felt. Ji Jingbai felt that smoke was coming out from the top of his head, "Shao Ran, you are truly becoming more and more capable."
After being scolded in such a manner, Shao Ran immediately acted like a child who had committed a mistake. She stood there with her head lowered, and her lips curled into an aggrieved expression.
And then —
Frowning, she suddenly realized — what was she feeling wronged about? It wasn't like she had done anything wrong!
Therefore, Shao Ran immediately swept away the guilt on his face. He placed his hands on his hips, straightened his neck and said aggressively: "That's right, I only cooked for him and not for you, because I don't welcome you. Don't you see that?"
"I can't tell."
Hearing his helpless tone, Shao Ran felt as if he was stuck in a pit of his stomach;
Gritting her teeth, she said unhappily: "Ji Jingbai, when did you become so shameless?"
"Ever since I couldn't find you, I've changed. You've also changed. We've all changed. So, there's nothing to be curious about." Ji Jingbai's tone was light as he held her hand and carefully rubbed it.
