Su Qing looked up. The two people in the mirror suddenly looked so well-matched that her entire being suddenly felt like a firestorm.
She didn't dare look up again.
She didn't dare look back at the mirror.
She buried her face deeply in Jiang Sui's neck.
After a while, a small, lush head popped out, a look of shame and anger suddenly evident on its face.
Her glittering eyes softly accused him, as if expressing dissatisfaction.
Su Qing felt completely suffocated and dizzy.
"Put me down."
Su Qing had never felt the distance from the bedroom to the dining room so long. Her eyelashes fluttered.
Jiang Sui's eyes flashed with a faint smile.
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
As the young man had said, Jiang Sui placed Su Qing on a chair.
Su Qing sat obediently, looking at the boy sitting next to her. Then she looked at the breakfast she had bought, which was already steaming. She thought he had heated it up, but there was still some left on the table that she hadn't bought, as if it were freshly made. She stammered, "You made these."
Her eyes held a hint of surprise, a hint of joy, but mostly embarrassment.
She looked very well behaved, then turned to look at Jiang Sui, blinking, "Jiang Sui, when did you wake up?"
…
She bit her lip, desperately wanting to find a hole in the ground and clench her fists. She'd clearly come to him to give him a surprise, but instead, Jiang Sui treated her with such meticulous care.
"It wasn't that early. I'd only been awake for a moment. But, it's unclear when Qing Qing sneaked in."
In reality, the boy had woken up long ago, but he couldn't bear to leave Su Qing, so he just stared at her for a long time, almost two hours straight.
Su Qing naturally didn't believe the boy's words.
She looked eagerly at Jiang Sui, her eyes wide and bashful, as she pursed her lips, took a sip of her milk, leaned back on her chair, and set the cup aside.
"You lied to me."
There seemed to be an unspeakable sense of grievance within her. Perhaps it was because she was sitting a little uncomfortably, but she could sense a cool, cool, and comforting presence about the boy.
She couldn't help but want to get closer.
Though clearly aggrieved, her expression remained calm. She gripped her chopsticks, her appetite completely gone.
"Jiang Sui, don't lie to me."
The boy's heart softened.
"Okay, I won't lie. I'll just be up for a bit. I was awake earlier, but I couldn't bear to wake you." The boy's voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and doting, but he still let Su Qing's temper run its course.
Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for so long, but the two of them didn't seem strange at all. Instead, they felt an unusual closeness, even more intense than before.
Su Qing's beautiful eyes rolled around, and she tilted her head, a slight curve at the corner of her lips.
"Is that so?"
Her mood seemed to have improved considerably, but her adorable appearance made Jiang Sui, sitting beside her, want to tease her.
"Yes, that's right. I just don't know whose little girl it is, secretly wanting to be the Snail Girl. I don't know when she came, but she was right there in my arms, like a dream come true."
The boy's eyebrows were inevitably raised slightly in joy, and the broken part of his brows revealed a touch of tenderness. A pair of deep black eyes on that handsome face remained fixed on Su Qing from beginning to end.
Su Qing felt deeply embarrassed by Jiang Sui's words, but she couldn't stand Jiang Sui looking at her like that.
A pair of pure white, tranquil eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
She twisted her hands, tugging at the edge of her clothes.
"No, I wanted to bring you breakfast, but when I want called you from the bedroom, you hugged me..."
Su Qing was so embarrassed that she couldn't bring herself to say it. She pursed her lips and remained silent.
Jiang Sui lowered his eyes to look at the girl. He naturally knew what she meant. At that time, it was because he had dreamed about her, dreaming about hugging her.
It turned out not to be a dream.
In fact, Jiang Sui, who was drowsy at the time, couldn't distinguish between dream and reality. He didn't bother to delve into it, because after all, she was still in his arms.
As her stomach growled, Su Qing subconsciously glanced at Jiang Sui. Seeing the young man staring back at her, she felt a pang of discomfort.
When the little girl was shy, she was different from usual. When she was shy, she would purse her lips and not say anything. Then, two dimples on each side of her cheeks would appear. Her face was pure white, and her eyes were wide, innocent and natural.
A hearty breakfast, full of flavor and color: fresh shrimp, preserved egg porridge, lettuce with oyster sauce, and egg drop soup.
It was simply too rich, a combination of meat and vegetables, and a complete nutritional package. There were also two cups of yogurt on the side.
"I made the lettuce and egg drop soup. I've already tasted it and it's pretty good. Come on Qing Qing, eat now."
I've tasted it...
Su Qing felt even more embarrassed. She pursed her lips.
She had never imagined that one day, this rebellious boy would actually be the one standing in the kitchen. It would be a lie to say she wasn't shocked.
Su Qing pursed her lips, holding the spoon in her hand, sipping the soup while making a gesture with her hand.
"It's delicious."
The boy looked at Su Qing with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He had also eaten many lavish meals. He wouldn't say his own cooking was delicious, but at least it wasn't unpalatable, not so unpalatable that it was hard to swallow. If it were truly unpalatable, Jiang Sui wouldn't let Su Qing drink it.
Listening to the girl's praise, Jiang Sui felt like the good girl was putting a tinted filter on him, but it didn't matter.
"It's delicious. Drink more."
Every time he hugged her, he felt she was too thin, just a bag of bones.
That small, pointed chin was clearly the result of not eating well.
Su Qing's stomach was the size of a bird's, so small that, at the boy's voice, she obediently said "okay."
Watching the boy pick up some food for her, Su Qing reached out and placed a steamed dumpling on Jiang Sui's plate.
"You eat too."
He seemed to be watching her eat. She felt like she had eaten quite a bit, but the boy hadn't eaten much.
"Okay."
The voice was low and a little heavy, but the boy's eyes never left Su Qing. Su Qing's eyes flickered with confusion, wondering if there was something on her face. When she touched it, she saw Jiang Sui pointing at his lips.
"Qing Qing, I want a good morning kiss."
The fatal temptation made Su Qing's ears flush.
