Her smile was too bright and dazzling; the scattered light around her seemed to move closer to her smile. Jiang Xiaobai looked even more eye-catching at this moment. Xiao Su was in a daze for a short moment. Soon, he regained his senses and turned his gaze away lightly. “You don’t need to consider this a favor. I was just repaying you the favor. You just have to remember that there’s no next time.”
Jiang Xiaobai ground her teeth while smiling. “Well, since you put it that way, I’ll take it as you’ve already repaid the favor. But because of the special circumstances today…” She took a step forward while staring at Xiao Su earnestly and blinking her eyes. “I owe you a kiss.”
Xiao Su was left speechless. The woman said such astonishing words, causing Xiao Su’s pupils to shrink as he took a step back suddenly. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
Jiang Xiaobai waved her hands indifferently. “I’m serious. I kissed you without your consent, and I’m sorry for that. As such, I owe you a kiss. Either you kiss me back now or I’ll just owe you for the time being.”
Xiao Su was shocked by her words for a long time before he could finally utter a few words out of helplessness. “Crazy woman.”
Jiang Xiaobai merely shrugged. Soon, Xiao Su stepped forward and left. When he turned around, he suddenly thought of the scene of Jiang Xiaobai defending him because of his scar in the elevator. He frowned for a moment but soon relaxed. She just wanted me to help. Seeing that she was looked at by others with strange eyes, I naturally said a few words for her. That was nothing much. I should not put too much thought into it. After thinking about it this way, Xiao Su left.
After he left, Jiang Xiaobai subconsciously touched her lips and said dejectedly, “It’s so maddening. I’m obviously the one at a disadvantage. Sure enough, those men who appear in novels don’t exist in reality. He’s just a senseless piece of pork trotter!” Jiang Xiaobai snorted before leaving.
…
Somewhere on an island.
Two days after coming to the small island, Yan finally got the true purpose of this small island. As the visitors here were all young people, mornings here were very quiet while it would become like a carnival at night. In addition to taking photos, Yan also enjoyed delicacies and was having fun. Plus, when she was on the boat here, she had interacted with some other people. During this two-day trip, she would occasionally bump into them, so everyone had become friends with each other. However, what made Yan the most awkward was that most of the visitors here were couples, so they were all very intimate.
For example, when Yan wanted to play in the water, she spotted a couple hugging each other in the water in front of her. Feeling extremely awkward, she stepped into the water and only left after a long while. She then went back to shore depressingly. However, it seemed that Han Qing did not notice anything at all. He rubbed her head, put a straw hat on her, and said, “Apply your sunscreen well and don’t get sunburnt. Ultraviolet rays on this island are particularly strong.”
Sob… Yan cried a little in her heart. Although she was conservative deep inside, she occasionally would want to… It was a pity that Han Qing had a restrained personality. The kiss on the boat that day was probably the most out-of-line thing he could do. As for the other things, Yan did not dare to think about it.
Suddenly, a couple ran over to them. “Yan, can you help take a picture of us?” A woman shoved her phone in Yan’s hand and shyly said, “We want to take a picture of the distant view over there, but we can’t. Could we trouble you to help us?”
When others had a request, Yan could only nod her head obediently. “Of course, there’s no problem. Just tell me what you want to shoot and I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, you’re really nice, Yan.”
Under their guidance, Yan took several pictures of the couple, and the last one was of them hugging tightly and kissing. They looked especially loving like this. At first, Yan was a little embarrassed when she was taking the photos, but it gradually turned into envy.
This was a really happy journey for both husband and wife. If one collected photos like these and framed them at home, they could take a look at these photos whenever they quarreled and their anger should disappear almost immediately. If possible, she would like to take photos with Han Qing, but… they were not a married couple. She was worried it would not be appropriate. As such, Yan did not ask and returned the woman’s phone after she was done taking photos.
Unexpectedly, the woman said, “Thank you. Since you’ve helped us, let us help you to take some photos as well.”
Hearing this, Yan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Han Qing. When she was taking photos for the couple earlier, Han Qing had been sitting behind and watching the scene. Now that Yan was looking over at him, she happened to look into his indifferent eyes. Seeing him like this, Yan thought that he was unwilling, so she shook her head and was about to refuse. Just then, Han Qing stood up. “Let’s take a few photos.”
He was an old man who had no interest in taking pictures, but it was all because this young lady was looking at him so eagerly. Yan tilted her head and asked, “Can we?”
Han Qing patted her head adoringly. “Of course, we can.”
After the woman next to them took the phone, she said straightforwardly, “You guys have a strange way of getting along. Yan, why do you seem to be afraid of your husband?”
Yan did not know how to answer for a while, but Han Qing held her in his arms while smiling faintly. “My lady here is just afraid of strangers. There’s a lot of people around here, so she’s a little shy.” After speaking, he lowered his head and stretched out his hands to pinch Yan’s fair, soft cheeks. His voice became deeper as he said, “When she’s at home, she can be very domineering.”
At first, the woman was thinking that Yan’s status might be inferior, but now that she heard this she instantly envied Yan now. This man is so handsome and flirtatious!
Yan’s heart was thumping and throbbing. She did not think Han Qing would say such flirtatious words. While in his embrace, she smiled shyly at the couple before them.
“This scene looks good.” The woman quickly took a photo of them at this moment. Before Yan and Han Qing had time to react, they were already photographed. Soon, the woman urged them to change their poses. As Yan was nervous, she did not know what to do. In the end, it was the woman who guided them. Just like this, they took a few photos.
After taking the photos, the woman returned the phone to Yan and could not help making fun of her. “You’re exactly what your husband made you out to be—extremely shy. It’s not that I’m trying to talk bad about you, but everyone here is the same. What do you have to be so scared of?”
Yan bit her lower lip and shook her head awkwardly. “I’m not scared. I’m just a little embarrassed.”
“Alright. Seeing that you’re still young, it’s normal to get embarrassed.”
