"What did you just say, Xu Ke? Say it again, I want to hear it." Ariel suddenly sat up from Xu Ke’s lap, looking shocked as she playfully pleaded for him to say it again.
"Xu Ke, say it again, I like hearing you say things like that, say it once more." Ariel tugged on Xu Ke’s arm, practically burying herself in his embrace, determined not to give up until he repeated it. Xu Ke, unable to resist her pestering, had no choice but to comply and say it again.
"Speak louder, your voice is too soft, I didn’t hear it." Although Xu Ke said it again, Ariel was still not satisfied. She continued to cling to Xu Ke, remaining nestled in his arms until he said it once more.
Xu Ke looked into Ariel’s eyes, hooked his hand around her neck, drawing her infinitely closer, and whispered in her ear, "You can’t like anyone else, you can only like ."
The warm breath from Xu Ke’s words brushed against Ariel’s ear, turning her whole face as red as an apple.
Ariel reached out to rub her flushed ear and said, "That’s more like it."
While Xu Ke’s face showed no change, this was the first ti he uttered such jealous words, making him sowhat shy. His facial muscles tensed, each line pulled taut, yet his ears quietly turned red, as vividly as a pogranate.
Despite having done more intimate things together, at this mont, they couldn’t help but feel extraordinarily bashful.
Though their bodies, once stuck close, were now slightly apart, a kind of distinct boundaries erged, yet they didn’t truly separate. An ambiguous atmosphere surrounded them, as if invisible threads were tightly binding them together.
"Have you finished eating?" Xu Ke asked, sowhat searching for conversation as his chin stayed tight.
"Finished."
"Shall we go for a walk to digest the food?" Xu Ke suggested again.
"Alright." Ariel nodded in agreent.
Having settled their plans, they decided to leave, and as they opened the door, they ran into a waiter.
"Where do two guests wish to go? Our dishes have just arrived, don’t you want to try them?" The waiter asked, seeing their intention to leave.
"Next ti then. Consider this on , please. We’re leaving now, thanks for the hospitality." Xu Ke said.
"No worries, it’s our pleasure to serve you. Hope to see you again next ti." The waiter politely bowed to Xu Ke as he watched them leave.
When Xu Ke and Ariel left, they initially wandered aimlessly, but after a while, Ariel seed to have thought of sothing, her eyes lit up as she dragged Xu Ke into a jewelry store.
"Do you like this one?" Ariel asked Xu Ke, holding up two different colored cat ear headbands. "Or do you prefer this?" She put down the headbands and picked up a cat ear hair clip instead.
"They all look pretty nice, but this one seems a bit more convenient." Xu Ke pointed at the headband in Ariel’s hand.
"How is this convenient? This is more convenient." Ariel pouted, returning the headband to its place, and picked up a pink and a black cat ear hair clip. "Which color do you like?"
"The pink one, it suits you, makes you look cuter." Xu Ke pointed at the pink clip.
"Are you sure?" Ariel asked Xu Ke with a strange expression.
Xu Ke was puzzled by Ariel’s look but nodded honestly, believing that the pink cat ears suited her better.
Ariel said nothing, buying the cat ears along with a pink cat paw that looked very cute. Just as Xu Ke was about to pay, Ariel suddenly pulled out a pink collar from sowhere, smiling slyly at Xu Ke, "Let’s buy this as well. I quite like it."
This ti, it was Xu Ke who had a playful expression. "Since when do you like these things?" he asked.
"I just discovered this about myself," Ariel replied in a husky voice. Out of view, their eyes flashed with mutual understanding, yet when their gazes t, they returned to normal, as if nothing happened.
Xu Ke noticed Ariel was especially excited today. She dragged him around shopping, buying loads of clothes but wouldn’t let Xu Ke see them closely. anwhile, Xu Ke seized the chance to buy quite a bit himself when Ariel wasn’t paying attention. They road around till past eight in the evening before bringing their haul back to Ariel’s place.
"After buying so much today, I got all sweaty. I’m going to take a shower first. You amuse yourself for a bit." Ariel said, giving Xu Ke a peck on the corner of his lips, and headed to the bathroom while undressing. By the ti she reached the bathroom, there weren’t many clothes left on her.
The bathroom door closed, and soon the sound of water filled the air.
Xu Ke listened intently for a while, then sneakily went to the door, opening it to receive a beautifully packaged bag from a woman.
"Have fun," the woman said knowingly with a respectful expression as she handed the bag to Xu Ke.
"Thank you."
Xu Ke returned with the bag, like a thief, carefully placing its contents into the bedside drawer. After properly disposing of the packaging, as soon as he finished, the bathroom door opened, and Ariel erged with her hair still wet.
"I’m done, your turn," Ariel said while drying her hair.
Xu Ke nodded and calmly made his way to the bathroom.
Ariel appeared to focus on drying her hair but kept her ears tuned to the sounds from the bathroom. Once the water started running, she beca the sneaky one, trembling hands opening the bag, her face flushed with excitent, and her breathing unsteady as her mouth involuntarily curved into a wide grin.
Taking out the contents, Ariel glanced at the oblivious Xu Ke in the shower, her eyes gleaming pridefully.
Ariel licked her moist lips, muttering softly, "You won’t escape tonight." Her big eyes narrowed, adding a hint of dangerous allure.
