Chapter 45

That “idiot” made me feel like I was warmed by the sun in the dead of winter, my whole body felt cozy and warm.

I felt like my whole body was melting.

My eyes couldn’t help but turn to my cousin, who was blushing with a hint of anger and shyness. Her beautiful face was flushed, and her charming appearance instantly melted my heart.

Just one glance was enough to make my throat go dry, and I murmured, “Sister, I…”

My cousin paused, her breathing became disordered, and her face flushed. I couldn’t help but swallow, and my big hand involuntarily took her small hand, feeling her warm and familiar body temperature.

My heart trembled, and I couldn’t help but lean over, wanting to kiss my cousin’s red lips.

“Handsome guy, beautiful lady, eat it while it’s hot.”

The owner brought the food at just the right moment, interrupting my actions. I couldn’t help but glare at him fiercely. If he had been a minute later, I might have kissed my cousin’s red lips.

“Don’t act like a child,” my cousin giggled, her pretty face flushed, and then handed me a pair of chopsticks. “Let’s eat while it’s hot.”

Left with no other choice, I picked up my chopsticks and started eating.

My cousin ate in small, slow, and elegant bites, like Chang’e flying to the moon; she was so beautiful it was indescribable.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” My cousin was taken aback when she saw me staring at her. “Is it because my movements are too awkward?”

“I don’t know,” I said with a laugh. “I’ve never seen my sister look ugly.”

“Smooth-talking!”

My cousin gave a light scolding, her pretty face flushing red again. She smoothed her long hair, picked up her chopsticks with her right hand, and focused intently on finishing the stinky tofu in front of her. Every now and then, she would look up at me and smile gently, exuding an indescribable tranquility and warmth.

Looking at my cousin, whose every move exuded elegance and grace, I was mesmerized.

“You idiot, what are you looking at?” My cousin’s face flushed, and she dared not look at me again, but instead appeared even more charming, which I had a good look at.

“How annoying!” My cousin spat lightly, her face showing a mixture of helplessness and shyness, as if she were also filled with an indescribable joy.

After eating, my cousin looked around and then pointed in one direction, saying, “Let’s go for a walk over there.”

“I’ll listen to you,” I said with a smile.

She had only taken a couple of steps when her cousin suddenly cried out “Ouch!” and squatted down, rubbing her ankle.

My heart ached, and I quickly asked, “Sister, what’s wrong?”

“Zheng, my legs are so sore, can you carry me?” My cousin looked up at me pitifully.

Because she was wearing high heels, she inevitably experienced some pain.

I bent down with a pained expression and said with a smile, “Get on the bus, this is your reserved seat.”

A sly and triumphant glint flashed in my cousin’s eyes. She giggled, jumped onto my back, and then called out in a sweet voice, “Giddy up…”

I carried my cousin on my back and followed the direction she pointed.

Arriving at the edge of a small pond in the park, the pond wasn’t very big, but the park staff had added small lights and several jets of water, making it look like a fountain, which was quite pretty.

The lights were out when we arrived at the place, and as soon as I stood by the pool, my cousin told me to put her down.

My cousin and I squatted together by the pool, looking into the water. The water was clear and transparent, reflecting two faces: one was mine, and the other was my cousin’s beautiful and delicate face.

My cousin held my hand and stood by the pool for a long time, her expression shifting between reproach and shyness. After a while, she sighed softly and murmured, “Heaven may not grow old, but love will never end…”

My heart skipped a beat, as if it had stopped beating, and my mind went blank. I opened my mouth, but didn’t know what to say, so I just gripped my cousin’s hand tightly.

My cousin glanced at me, her expression indifferent, but a hint of sadness lingered in her eyes. My heart ached for her. I grasped her small hand and whispered, “Sister, I…”

Before I could finish speaking, a bitter look appeared on my cousin’s face. She nestled gently in my arms and said softly, “I’m a little tired. Can you let me lean on you for a while?”

I pulled her delicate body into my arms, inhaled the fragrance of her hair, and chuckled softly, “Sister, I’d lean on you for a lifetime, let alone just for a while.”

My cousin blushed and punched my chest hard, saying in a coquettish voice, “Who wants to rely on you for the rest of their life? You’re such a shameless little fool.”

I’ve noticed that my cousin is getting more and more adept at using the term “idiot,” and every time I hear it, it gives me an indescribable tingling sensation.

My cousin put her arms around my back and rested her head against my chest. After a while, she whispered, “Silly boy, let’s go home.”

“I’ll carry it on my back,” I said with a laugh, bending down at the same time.

I don’t know why, but when my cousin called me an idiot, I actually felt a little pleased.

As soon as my cousin climbed onto my back, she giggled and said, “Giddy up…”

I carried my cousin across the park, which prompted many young couples to follow suit, with the girls insisting that their boyfriends carry them.

When my cousin and I got back downstairs, the police cars were nowhere to be seen; they must have gone back.

Alright.

I wonder how Li Qiang is doing now. I never expected that guy to be so bold as to kidnap someone.

After I carried my cousin upstairs, I saw Wang Qin sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking lost and disheveled, her hair looking like it hadn’t been styled.

My cousin whispered in my ear, “Put me down.”

I did as she asked and put my cousin down. She went over and sat down next to Wang Qin, whispering, “Wang Qin, is something wrong?”

“You’re back!” Wang Qin hadn’t even noticed us coming in. Only when she heard her cousin’s voice did she raise her eyes.

I noticed that her eyes were red and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, probably because she had just stopped crying.

Moreover, the way he looked at me was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

Her cousin took Wang Qin’s small hand, handed her a tissue, and said with concern, “Wipe your tears first.”

“Li Qiang is in trouble.”

Wang Qin wiped away her tears, biting her lip. After a while, tears welled up again. “He kidnapped our manager. The police just came looking for him and asked me if I knew Li Qiang’s whereabouts. How could I know? I can’t get through to Li Qiang on the phone. I don’t know what to do.”

“Li Qiang actually kidnapped your manager?” My cousin frowned slightly. Although I had already told her what happened, she was still pretending to know nothing. “This is troublesome. What exactly is the reason?”

Wang Qin shook her head with tears streaming down her face, unable to utter a single word.

I was going to comfort her, but my cousin gave me a look and told me to go back to my room first.

I was about to stand up, but I was worried that if Wang Qin told my cousin about me and her, my cousin would hate me and might never speak to me again.

I shook my head with a wry smile, then asked Wang Qin, “Let’s not rush things. Let’s see what the police are up to. Brother Qiang shouldn’t do anything too outrageous.”

“I hope so.” Wang Qin shook her head sadly and said softly, “I’m sorry to him. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing.”

“I’m sorry to him.” My cousin paused, looking completely bewildered. “You…you wouldn’t really be…”

Before her cousin could finish speaking, Wang Qin hurriedly shook her head, “I didn’t do anything to wrong Li Qiang, he’s the one who doubted me.”

Honestly, although Wang Qin’s explanation was quite perfect, I didn’t really think so.

If Li Qiang hadn’t made the first move, I might have also found a chance to take care of that old guy.

Wang Qin is such a stunning beauty in bed; she should belong to me alone.

Although I was startled by my own dark thoughts, they were a true reflection of my inner self. I didn’t want anyone else to touch Wang Qin, not even Li Qiang.

Now I’d rather Li Qiang and that man fight to the death.

“Wang Qin, don’t worry too much.”

My cousin gently comforted me, “There’s no use worrying about it now. The most important thing is to see how Li Qiang treated your manager. If your manager doesn’t sue him, there shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Suddenly, it occurred to me that Li Qiang probably wouldn’t be that stupid. If it were me, I would at most ask the manager to leave, so as not to leave any evidence. But if it were kidnapping, the crime would be much more serious.

However, if Li Qiang really kidnapped that manager, then wouldn’t I be able to…

“Ah Zheng, you’ve had a long day, go take a shower first. I’ll stay with Wang Qin.” My cousin suddenly glanced at me, her eyes carrying an air of unyielding authority.

Left with no other choice, I could only nod and say, “Okay, then you stay with Sister Qin for a while, I’m going to take a shower first.”

Honestly, I’m suddenly terrified. I’m afraid Wang Qin will tell my cousin about us. If that happens, even killing Wang Qin won’t make up for it.

But if I stay any longer, my cousin might get angry, so I had no choice but to go back to my room, feeling very uneasy.

After dawdling for a while, I came out of the room with my change of clothes and secretly observed my cousin. I found that there was nothing wrong with her, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Qin probably wouldn’t be too embarrassed to tell her cousin about her somewhat embarrassing private life.

When I finished showering and came out, about ten minutes had passed. My cousin and Wang Qin were sitting on the sofa chatting, but Wang Qin still looked gloomy. My cousin didn’t notice anything wrong and kept comforting Wang Qin.

Seeing this, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Wang Qin had really told the truth, it would have been a huge problem.

I gave my cousin a wink, then went back to my room.

I had just put my things down and was tidying up the bed when the door was suddenly pushed open. I turned my head and suddenly heard my cousin cry out, and then she pounced on me.

He suddenly pressed down on me, the prisoner, and our bodies were instantly pressed tightly together, especially since I was shirtless at the time.

My cousin slumped softly into my arms, her burning face pressed tightly against mine.

I held my soft, boneless cousin in my arms, inhaling her faint fragrance. My breathing gradually became heavier, and I held h
