Out of control and sinking

At such close range, Su Tiantian could see the man's roguish yet handsome face clearly. Su Tiantian was a sucker for good looks, and from the moment she saw Zou Ji, she thought he was very handsome.

As he wiped her lips with the tissue in his hand, Su Tiantian's heart began to race uncontrollably.

For some reason, a strange feeling lingered in her heart, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Su Tiantian blushed and backed away, saying, "Okay, okay?"

"How about I do it myself?"

She is embarrassed.

Seeing her shyness, Zou Ji curled his thin lips into a smile, withdrew his fingers from the tissue, and said, "Okay, all done."

After politely tossing the tissue into the trash can, Zou Ji casually said to her, "Shall we go?"

The tone of his voice made it sound as if the two of them had known each other for a long time.

Su Tiantian was stunned. They had only just met, so why did he sound so familiar?

But I didn't think too much about it; I just felt that Zou Ji was a pretty easy-going person.

She nodded obediently: "Okay."

Zou Ji arrived by car, and Su Tiantian followed him to the underground parking garage, where it was quiet with only the two of them inside.

Zou Ji was very tall, almost 1.9 meters.

Su Tiantian is 1.7 meters tall, which is not considered short for a girl, but standing behind Zou Ji, she still looks inexplicably shorter by more than a head.

Following behind him, Su Tiantian bit her red lips, already beginning to regret her actions.

She had a very pleasant conversation with him just now because Jiang Ruan was there, and he was Jiang Ruan's friend.

Jiang Ruan has left because of something, so it's just the two of them now...

She felt a little embarrassed...

Just then, the person in front of her stopped, and Su Tiantian, not paying attention, was about to crash into them.

A low, husky, and slightly wicked voice suddenly sounded from above: "Don't watch where you're going. Don't cry if you bump into something and hurt yourself."

Su Tiantian snapped back to her senses, looked up, and saw that she was almost pressed against him.

Her head was less than a few centimeters from his chin, and Su Tiantian was startled, then stepped back.

"No... I'm sorry." Su Tiantian blushed and was nervous, her fingers clenching the hem of her skirt at her sides. "I was daydreaming just now."

The garage lights were off, but Zou Ji could still clearly see her expression.

He raised an eyebrow, one hand in his pocket: "Are you nervous?"

Su Tiantian exclaimed "Ah!" and immediately retorted, "No, why should I be nervous?"

"No?" Zou Ji's rosy lips curved into a smile as his gaze fell on her fingertips, which were tightly gripping the hem of her skirt. She was genuinely nervous.

The playful words he was about to say were immediately taken back.

"No." Su Tiantian suppressed her hesitation and mustered her courage to say, "You are Jiang Ruan's good friend, so you are my good friend too."

"It's perfectly normal to go out with good friends, why should I be afraid?"

"You're not a bad person."

Actually, she was trying to convince herself with those words.

Su Tiantian didn't have many close friends at school because she was a bit insecure...

She has a sensitive personality and is also rather slow-witted. They all look down on her for being stupid. All she does every day is study; she doesn't know anything else.

I'm not going to play with her anymore.

Su Tiantian had overheard them talking badly about her a few times, and ever since then, she has felt a little afraid when meeting new friends.

Zou Ji glanced at her chubby little face, his dark eyes paused for a moment, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

She's even cuter than before, now that she has amnesia.

Just like a little kid.

Perhaps it was God's pity for his miserable life that allowed him to find her again. Since he had lost his memory, he would try his best to pursue her, cherish her, love her, and make her fall in love with him again.

"Okay," Zou Ji replied with a smile.

The next second, he pulled a lollipop out of his pocket; it was pink and bow-shaped.

very beautiful.

"Here you go." Zou Ji handed it to her.

The bow-tie lollipop is very pretty, and it's Su Tiantian's favorite pink color.

"This is... a lollipop?" Su Tiantian blinked, looking at the lollipop. A little confused, she asked, "Why did you buy this?"

Zou Ji said, "Jiang Ruan said she was going to have dinner with a really cute girl today. I happened to be passing by a supermarket and I needed to buy cigarettes, so I saw this. I thought it would be a good match for you, so I bought it."

Actually, he made it all up.

He specially went to the supermarket to pick out and buy this lollipop for her.

Jiang Ruan said she likes sweets.

Zou Ji wondered if she would be happy if he prepared a small gift for their first meeting.

Although it's just a lollipop, it's very cheap.

In the past, Zou Ji might have dismissed it with disdain.

But she is different.

Zou Ji now genuinely dotes on her like a child.

When he was a child, his biggest wish was to have a lollipop.

But his family was very strict and didn't allow him to have any contact with the outside world. He had lived for more than ten years and had never even been to a supermarket.

They receive various training sessions every day.

Zou Ji thought that he should make up for all the childhood fun he lacked by her.

Su Tiantian stared intently at the lollipop, but said something against her will: "I'm so sorry, I'm not a child anymore, I don't eat candy."

Zou Ji was a shrewd person, so he easily saw what she wanted.

He smiled and said, "Who says kids can't eat candy? Here, take it."

He was so enthusiastic that Su Tiantian didn't refuse anymore. She took the candy and smiled at him.

"Okay then, thank you."

Zou Ji smiled and said, "No need to be so polite with Brother Zou Ji, little sister Tian Tian."

His voice was drawn out and naturally magnetic.

At this moment, however, it takes on a more alluring and captivating quality.

The way he stared at Su Tiantian was as if he wanted to devour her completely.

But Su Tiantian only had eyes for the candy at that moment, and was happily holding it.

Moreover, Zou Ji's emotions are not something that anyone can easily guess.

Su Tiantian would never have imagined that this man with a full neck tattoo, yet gentle and refined, would appear like this that night.

What kind of ruthless character is he at heart?

Reaching the car, Su Tiantian's eyes lit up as she looked at the all-black Maybach, so imposing and stylish: "Wow, what a cool car!"

Holding a lollipop, she circled the car and asked, "This car must be very expensive, right?"

She asked Zou Ji curiously.

Zou Ji looked at her with doting eyes, leaning one hand on the car in a relaxed and casual posture: "It's not expensive."

"You like it? If you like it, I can give you one."

His tone was casual and indifferent.

It's as if this is something so simple and normal.

Su Tiantian was startled: "No, no, this is too expensive."

"I can't accept this. If I do, Sister Stli will definitely scold me to death."

Besides, who gives away a car on the first meeting?

Moreover, this car looks very valuable.

Upon hearing her English name, Zou Ji paused for a moment, then quickly realized that she had an older cousin in China who had watched her grow up.

The information indicates it's called something like sli.

That must be the stli she was talking about.

For the entire afternoon, Zou Ji spent time playing with Su Tiantian. The two of them could be seen in almost every corner of the haunted house, amusement park, food court, and shopping mall.

Zou Ji thought that Su Tiantian would definitely be a little scared after entering the haunted house, but she turned out to be an oddball, born with a rebellious nature.

Seeing those gruesome images, I wasn't scared at all; instead, I was quite happy to go over and touch the skull's head.

If he hadn't stopped her, she would have pushed open the coffin lid to see what was inside.

Zou Ji: "..."

She imagined herself to be afraid and terrified, but in reality, she wasn't at all.

Not to mention screaming in fright like in a movie scene and then hiding in the boy's arms.

Zou Ji was a little puzzled. She looked so delicate and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

How can she not be afraid of ghosts at all? This is completely unconventional.

At first, Su Tiantian was a little reserved, but later she completely relaxed.

They completely accepted Zou Ji as one of their own.

"Zou Ji, that's so beautiful! Let's go see it."

"Zou Ji, I want to eat candied hawthorn."

"Zou Ji, I want to eat ice cream."

"Zou Ji, Zou Ji..."

The happiest time for Zou Ji in recent years has been today.

The girl's sweet, soft voice kept ringing in his ears, making his heart tremble, yet it was the sound of joyful chimes.

"Okay, here we come."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

"Walk."

As Zou Ji accompanied her shopping and eating, he carried more and more things in his hands.

Within a few hours, it had grown to a huge pile.

Su Tiantian, biting into her ice cream cone, felt a little embarrassed when she saw how many he had in his hand.

She quickly finished the ice cream cone in her mouth, threw away the trash, and said awkwardly, "Is it heavy? Let me help you carry some."

As he reached out, Zou Ji stepped back and refused, saying, "No need, it's just a little thing, it's not heavy at all."

He laughed heartily: "If you find even this little thing heavy, how can you be a man?"

It's been treated as waste.

Su Tiantian only had his smile in her eyes.

He's handsome, has great skin, and great features—just the type Su Tiantian likes.

She looks even better when she smiles, giving Su Tiantian a feeling of spring warmth and blooming flowers.

Su Tiantian chuckled and playfully stuck out her tongue: "Okay then, I promise I'll buy less later."

As she spoke, she added with some annoyance, "You've already spent so much of my money. You're not allowed to pay for anything else I buy, or I'll feel embarrassed."

“We’re good friends,” Zou Ji said matter-of-factly. “It’s just a little money, and you’re already haggling with me. Don’t you consider me your good friend?”

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Su Tiantian immediately became nervous: "That's not what I meant."

Zou Ji said, "Then don't stand on ceremony with me."

Su Tiantian was about to say something when Zou Ji interrupted her, "Look, there seems to be a performance over there. Do you want to go watch?"

He deliberately changed the subject.

Su Tiantian, however, was completely focused on looking over there. When she saw that there were many people there, her eyes lit up, and she immediately felt the urge to join in the fun.

"want."

"Let's go, let's go now."

As Su Tiantian spoke, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him forward through the sleeve of his windbreaker.

Zou Ji was taken aback, his gaze falling on her snow-white little hands on her windbreaker. Her nails were beautifully manicured and painted with pink nail polish, a healthy and lovely color.

His eyes held a complex expression, and his Adam's apple bobbed slowly.

I have an urge to hold it in my hand.

His fingertips even clenched unconsciously.

But Zou Ji was very rational; he knew it wasn't the right time yet.

If you suddenly hold her hand, it will definitely cause her to resist.

That would be difficult.

Zou Ji took a breath.

He comforted himself, "Take it slow, Zou Ji."

Don't worry.

There is ample time.

The two played for a whole day, until it was completely dark, before Zou Ji finally took Su Tiantian back.

Instead of escorting her to her door, they stopped about 200 meters away from the gate.

Zou Ji gripped the steering wheel, turned to look at Su Tiantian in the passenger seat, and said very gentlemanly, "I am, after all, a man, and I'm afraid your family will worry if they see me."

"Shall I leave you here?"

Su Tiantian felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, "Okay."

Then I got off the bus carrying all the things I bought.

The car window rolled down, and Zou Ji stared at her with his dark eyes, looking at her fair face, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He didn't even dare to blink, just staring straight at her, as if afraid it was all a dream.

When I woke up, she was gone again.

Zou Ji spoke, his voice hoarse: "You must be tired after playing all day. Go back, take a shower, and go to bed early."

"Good night."

Su Tiantian smiled adorably: "Okay, goodnight Zou Ji."

"I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

Zou Ji replied in a calm tone, "Hmm."

Su Tiantian picked up her things and turned to leave.

With the noise gone, Zou Ji leaned back, his hand already reaching for the cigar box in the drawer beside him. He took it out, about to open it.

Footsteps sounded, and Su Tiantian's face appeared again in front of the car window, blocking his view.

Zou Ji looked up and saw that it was her. His eyes immediately sparkled with a tiny starlight. He suppressed his emotions and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Su Tiantian leaned against the car window and said to him earnestly, "Thank you for spending the whole day with me. I'm very happy."

"But I have a question I wanted to ask you, I almost forgot."

Zou Ji said, "Hmm, go ahead and ask."

Su Tiantian stared longingly at the inside of his windbreaker: "What's that tattoo on your neck?"

"It looks kind of scary. I wanted to ask you about it during the day, but I was afraid you'd be upset. But if I don't ask now, I won't be able to sleep when I get back."

Su Tiantian stuck out her tongue.

Zou Ji laughed: "Is that all?"

He raised his hand and tugged at his collar, unbuttoning two buttons with his fingertips, instantly revealing his full neck tattoos.

Wild and untamed.

Su Tiantian's eyes were dazzled.

Zou Ji said, "This is a phoenix."

Su Tiantian asked in surprise: "Phoenix?"

"So you really like phoenixes? Is that why you got such a big phoenix tattooed on your neck?"

It looks kind of scary.

When Su Tiantian first saw him, although he was very handsome, his neck tattoo...

He doesn't seem like a good person at all.

Zou Ji smiled and said firmly, "Yes, I like it."

He tugged at her collar and asked, "Do you think my tattoo looks good?"

Su Tiantian: "..."

Not wanting to discourage him, she obediently nodded: "It looks good."

"Very domineering, like a gangster boss in a movie."

As she spoke, Su Tiantian sighed, "Your parents are really open-minded. If I dared to get such a big tattoo on my body, especially on my neck, my parents would probably break my legs."

Upon hearing this, Zou Ji couldn't help but laugh.

He patiently advised, "Girls shouldn't get tattoos; clean and simple looks are much better."

Su Tiantian said "Oh".

“I have other tattoos on my body, do you want to see them?” Zou Ji deliberately piqued her interest.

I just wanted to talk to her a little longer and stay with her a little longer.

Upon hearing this, Su Tiantian's eyes lit up instantly.

"Where?"

"Is it convenient for me to watch?"
