Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 130 Everything is True, Including My Love for You (1)
Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Everything is True, Including My Love for You (1)
When the conversation ended, the old lady took the lead and walked towards the house. Seeing her determination, Shen Zixian did not continue the topic and silently followed behind her.
Since leaving the Shen Family’s ancestral home, Mi Jing had been unusually quiet, her pretty face turned towards the car window. It was unclear if she was looking at the scenery or just daydreaming.
The car stopped at a red light in front of the crosswalk. Taking advantage of the pause, Mi Jing finally changed her position, turned her face, and asked Shen Lingxing, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Not at the moment," Shen Lingxing said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Mi Jing let out a muffled "Oh," then raised her eyes to look at the traffic lights ahead.
"Do you want to ask something?" Shen Lingxing raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth curling up out of habit.
"I did initially, but since you don’t want to talk for now, I don’t want to ask for now," Mi Jing said, grinning. "Don’t I seem very understanding?"
Shen Lingxing was amused by Mi Jing. He affectionately pinched her nose, tacitly acknowledging her self-praise.
When they got home, it was already past eight. Although they had been out having fun for half the day, Mi Jing did not want to move once she nestled into the comfortable sofa.
"Shen Lingxing, turn on the TV," Mi Jing said bluntly, seeing Shen Lingxing come out of the kitchen.
"What’s wrong? Not feeling well?" Shen Lingxing, seeing Mi Jing looking a bit tired lying on the sofa, quickly walked over and felt her forehead.
"I’m fine, it’s just laziness kicking in. I don’t want to move," Mi Jing moaned, pulling down Shen Lingxing’s big hand from her forehead.
Laziness?
Shen Lingxing chuckled and shook his head slightly, then obediently turned on the TV and handed the remote to Mi Jing.
The fun of watching TV for Mi Jing was accompanying others. At home, she would occasionally watch dramas with her mom or news with her dad, but when she was alone, she never touched the TV. Firstly, she had no favorite TV show, and secondly, TV ads irritated her as they wasted time and tested her patience.
"You pick a channel," Mi Jing said, handing the remote back to Shen Lingxing.
Holding the remote, Shen Lingxing showed a puzzled expression and looked at Mi Jing, silently asking, weren’t you the one who wanted to watch TV?
"I’ll watch with you," Mi Jing said, curling up her legs to make room and signaling him to sit down.
Seeing this, Shen Lingxing smiled again, sat on the sofa, and instead of using the remote, he placed it aside and picked up Mi Jing’s legs, stretching them out to rest on his lap.
"This way is more comfortable," Shen Lingxing said.
Mi Jing smiled at him, happily accepting his thoughtfulness.
Then, Shen Lingxing chose a news channel to watch. At first, Mi Jing was watching seriously, but before long, whether due to tiredness or the comfort of lying there, she fell asleep unknowingly.
Seeing Mi Jing’s peaceful sleeping face, Shen Lingxing lost interest in watching TV. He turned off the TV with the remote and then carried Mi Jing in his arms upstairs.
Mi Jing, having just fallen asleep and not deeply so, woke up halfway up the stairs.
"Take a bath and sleep early," Shen Lingxing said, looking down at the sleepy Mi Jing.
Sleep early?
Does that mean he won’t be "animalistic" tonight?
Thinking of this, Mi Jing’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she raised her hands to wrap them around Shen Lingxing’s neck, enjoying the feeling of being carried by him.
After carrying Mi Jing into the bathroom, Shen Lingxing stepped out. Mi Jing, meanwhile, forgot to grab her clothes, and as she ran the bathwater and started undressing, only remembered when Shen Lingxing came back in with her pajamas.
"Dear, should I join you in the bath?" Shen Lingxing asked slyly, putting the clothes on the rack and winking at Mi Jing.
"Sure!"
Mi Jing agreed readily, but before Shen Lingxing could be happy, she added, "But isn’t someone suggesting I take an early bath and sleep early? Are you sure..."
With that, Mi Jing trailed off meaningfully. Seeing her mischievous expression, Shen Lingxing raised his thick eyebrows and walked out with a smile.
When Shen Lingxing came up from a bath downstairs, Mi Jing was already out of the bathroom, wearing a white pullover pajama, sitting on the bed, looking at her camera with a silly smile, looking very energetic, no sign of the earlier fatigue.
"Come sit!" Upon hearing footsteps, Mi Jing looked up and beckoned Shen Lingxing over.
"What do you need help with?" Shen Lingxing asked casually.
"Help me pick some good photos." With that, Mi Jing handed the camera to Shen Lingxing.
At the farm, Mi Jing had snapped a lot of pictures, including some of them together. She had forgotten about them until she remembered while in the bath.
"They’re all pretty good," Shen Lingxing said, looking through a few photos and liking them all.
"Can you be serious? You’re being perfunctory, show some sincerity!" Mi Jing complained, dissatisfied.
"Alright, I’ll pick seriously," Shen Lingxing said.
Shen Lingxing propped up the pillow, leaned against the headboard, and pulled Mi Jing close, wrapping an arm around her waist, as they looked at the camera screen together, picking out photos together.
"How about this one?" Shen Lingxing stopped flipping through the pictures, seeking Mi Jing’s opinion.
"Hmm, it’s nice. Grandma should like it," Mi Jing said with satisfaction.
She’s choosing photos for Grandma?
Hearing Mi Jing mention Grandma, Shen Lingxing became curious and asked, "Did Grandma ask you for photos?" He had been with them the whole time and hadn’t heard such a conversation!
"No," Mi Jing said, noting down the photo number on her phone. "Last time when we visited Grandma, I noticed her album had only old photos, so I thought I’d develop some new ones for her, so she has some new memories in her album."
Unexpectedly, an indescribable feeling surged into Shen Lingxing’s heart. His mind rippled like a tranquil lake suddenly disturbed, spreading waves of gratitude and joy.
Looking down, he saw the person in his arms wasn’t looking at him. She was intently writing in her phone, oblivious to the profound impact of her words on him.
There was no deliberate flattery, no fake pretense, nor expectation of praise. Such spontaneous and natural behavior exuded a beauty from inside out, and it left Shen Lingxing mesmerized!
"Is there more? Any..." Mi Jing looked up from placing the camera down, only to see Shen Lingxing staring at her in a daze.
