"If you're upset about anything, tell me so I can be happy for a moment." She spoke out of turn, sharing an anecdote she had heard in her past life, only to have her face pinched by a certain someone's large hand.
"Ouch!" Actually, it didn't hurt, but she just liked to act adorable in front of him, rubbing her cheek against his palm. The calloused palm scraped against her tender cheek, causing a slight sting of pain.
"Does it hurt now?" Xu Qigang looked at her reddened cheek, feeling distressed, and tried to retract his hand, but Sheng Ning held on and refused to let go.
"It doesn't hurt, not at all." Sheng Ning clutched his hand, saying contentedly, "Living Yama, I love you so, so much, do you know that?"
Xu Qigang's deep, dark eyes suddenly brightened. He looked at Sheng Ning with joy, and if he weren't immobile, he would have wanted to pull her into his arms, tightly and fiercely.
"Xiao Ning." He called to her passionately.
"Hmm?"
