Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 68. She didn't throw a tantrum.

He suddenly grabbed her wrist and gently pulled the girl toward him.

Caught off guard, Jiang Jixu fell directly into the man's arms.

A hand with distinct knuckles gently cupped the back of the girl's head, its long, strong fingers interlacing in her flowing black hair, while the other hand held her fingertips together.

Bend over and lower your head.

All the sounds around seemed to disappear at that moment.

They could only hear each other breathing.

Jiang Jixu stared at the man so close to her for two seconds, stunned.

The touch on the lips is soft and warm, like a feather gently brushing against them.

A kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.

If it weren't for the intense heat emanating from the other person's palm, she would have thought it was all a dream.

Lu Lishen's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as his gaze fell on her lightly touched lips, something churning within his dark eyes.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "It's very sweet."

Jiang Jixu didn't know if he was talking about sugar or something else.

but--

"Lu Lishen, are you taking advantage of me?" The girl's voice trembled slightly.

Lu Lishen leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"Since I'm being treated like a gigolo because of my sister, I should naturally do what a gigolo should do."

"Sister, you're right, aren't you?"

His gaze fell on her small, delicate earlobe.

It's lightly tinged with pink, like a pink pearl, plump and luscious, making you want to reach out and touch it.

Lu Lishen's eyes were dark and gloomy.

I forced myself to look away.

Jiang Jixu felt that the tip of her nose was filled with the jasmine scent emanating from the man. The scent made her dizzy and even slowed her breathing.

A thought flashed through my mind.

Jiang Jixu, however, failed to catch him.

The feeling of my heart racing in my chest is strangely familiar.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on Lu Lishen's hand.

My palms were burning hot.

Jiang Jixu looked at the prominent Adam's apple on the man's neck and couldn't help but swallow.

Just as I was about to speak, a blinding halo appeared before my eyes.

The next second, Lu Lishen stood in front of her, shielding her from the headlights shining on her.

"Cinema?"

Lin Feng looked at the words on his phone screen and suddenly sat up straight.

He made a phone call directly.

"You mean Jiang Jixu went to the movies with a guy?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

"Brother Feng, calm down! I know this sounds ridiculous, but I swear I'm telling the truth!" Wu Ze cried out. "Please explain to Brother Ci again, I really didn't conspire with Jiang Jixu to put on an act!"

Honestly, he was beaten so badly.

Even now, Wu Ze still feels uncomfortable when he thinks about the look in Jiang Jixu's eyes.

"..."

Lin Feng ignored the last sentence and stared blankly at the distant high-rise buildings and neon lights.

A cool breeze blew by, making him feel a bit more awake.

Wu Ze was still secretly trying to complain.

“Brother Feng, you don’t know, Jiang Jixu is like she’s possessed, she’s obsessed with protecting that pretty boy. She even helped that pretty boy snatch my phone so I couldn’t contact Brother Ci.”

"I only said a couple of words to that guy, and she glared at me. Her eyes were terrifying!"

Lin Feng: "..."

He really couldn't imagine what Jiang Jixu would look like when he glared at someone.

Are you still protecting men other than Ji Yanci?
"Besides these," Lin Feng interrupted Wu Ze's rambling, "what else did she say besides these?"

"What else is there to say..."

Wu Ze racked his brains for a moment, "Oh right, she also said that she and Ci Ge have broken up."

Lin Feng fell silent, as if he had been struck on the back of the head with a heavy hammer. "Jiang Jixu...did he really say that? His exact words?"

"Yeah, but I don't believe it. Women always say things like that when they're angry. All my girlfriends before liked to say that when they were throwing a tantrum."

Lin Feng's head was buzzing, and he blurted out, "She's not throwing a tantrum."

"what?"

Lin Feng closed his eyes, as if all his previous doubts had been answered, and spoke with difficulty.

“Jiang Jixu... she might not be throwing a tantrum.”

"ah?!"

Wu Ze on the other end of the phone was stunned and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "How is that possible? Brother Feng, you must be joking."

Lin Feng lost interest in chatting with him and quickly hung up the phone.

He stood there in a daze for a while, wanting to call Jiang Wang to find out some inside information, but he hung up the phone before it even rang.

"My goodness!"

What a life of toil he has!

Lu Lishen escorted Jiang Jixu home.

“Tomorrow is Saturday,” he said. “I’ll help you move.”

Jiang Jixu stiffened, gave a low "okay" in response, and then fled home.

In the living room, Jiang's mother was chatting with Jiang's father.

Upon seeing Jiang Jixu, he called out, "Jixu, why are you so late today? Don't work too hard, take care of yourself..."

Jiang Jixu hurried upstairs: "Mom, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Seeing this, Jiang's mother frowned slightly: "Oh, what's wrong with this child today? He's acting like he's seen a ghost..."

Jiang Jinian was just coming out of the bedroom with a cup when she bumped into Jiang Jixu. Her brow twitched slightly, and she opened her mouth to speak, but the other person simply walked past her and went back to his room, looking completely distracted.

Jiang Jinian stopped in her tracks.

He turned around, looked at the tightly closed door, and frowned.

She thought for a moment, took out her phone, opened WeChat, and the pinned chat window was with someone whose contact name was "Light".

Judging from the profile picture, it is undoubtedly Jiang Jixu.

Jiang Jinian pursed her lips, scrolled down to find Jiang Wang, and sent a message.
-
Inside the bedroom, Jiang Jixu squatted on the floor, covering his face with his hands.

My mind is still a jumbled mess.

Whether her eyes were open or closed, the image of Lu Lishen lowering his head to kiss her kept playing in her mind.

Why didn't she push him away?
Were you bewitched by those eyes that sparkled with light and were filled with stars?

Jiang Jixu's fingers gently touched her lips.

The faint scent of jasmine and candy still lingers there, making one blush and feel their heart race.

"Knock Knock-"

The knocking on the door pulled her back to reality.

Jiang Jixu subconsciously stood up, only to realize that she had been squatting for too long, causing her legs to go numb. She forced herself to open the door.

"Mom asked me to bring you—" Jiang Jinian paused, looking at her somewhat distorted face, "What's wrong with you?"

No, no.

Jiang Jinian looked at her silently for a few seconds before handing the yogurt in her hand to the other person.

"My mom asked me to bring this."

"Thank you, Anian."

Before leaving, Jiang Jinian said quietly, "Sister, next time you lie, remember to look the other person straight in the eye."

Jiang Jixu froze.

Jiang Jinian raised her phone and said, "I saw my brother-in-law's WeChat Moments post. It's about dinner and a movie. His photography skills are pretty good."

Jiang Jixu's mind went blank.

What WeChat Moments? What photos?
Lu Lishen posted on WeChat Moments?

She didn't bother to hide it and hurriedly took out her phone to check.

Open Moments.

The internet speed was a bit slow, and the refresh icon kept appearing on the screen. Even though it was only a few seconds, Jiang Jixu felt that the time was excessively long.

She felt a little anxious, her rosy lips slightly pursed.

Finally, the interface refreshed successfully.

A new update caught my eye.
