Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 209 Why Do You Always Like to Kiss Here?

The little butterfly flew back to Tiandu Yuxi, got out of the car, and hummed a song as it walked towards the elevator.

Upon seeing a tall, familiar figure in the distance, Lin Xi paused in his steps.

A white shirt, suit pants, and no tie gave him a more gentle and relaxed look than his usual meticulous appearance.

Lin Xi was surprised to find Duan Yiheng waiting for her at the elevator entrance of the garage.

"What are you standing there for?" Duan Yiheng had obviously seen her too, but unusually, he didn't go over to her. "Come here."

After a moment of surprise, Lin Xi was overjoyed and ran over.

She keeps a spare pair of flat shoes in her car and changes them whenever she drives.

I was too lazy to change into high heels today, and thankfully I didn't, otherwise I wouldn't be able to run right now.

As soon as she got close, Lin Xi reached out to hug him, but a bouquet of flowers blocked her view.

A bright red bouquet of roses caught Lin Xi's eye, and she instinctively reached out to hug it.

She glanced behind him in surprise: "Where did you hide such a big bunch?"

Duan Yiheng took her bag and shoes, chuckling as he said, "Where else could I hide them? Do you like them?"

"I like it." Lin Xi's face flushed even more against the backdrop of that large bunch of dark red velvet. "Why did you come down?"

Duan Yiheng put his arm around her waist and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't dare to take the elevator."

Lin Xi's heart raced uncontrollably. She lowered her head, wrinkled her nose, and gently bumped a petal to hide her shyness.

"Let's go." Duan Yiheng put his arm around her shoulder and led her into the elevator.

Once inside the elevator, Lin Xi was still basking in the warmth of his care and attention, and whispered, "I'm not that timid. I was just startled at the time."

Besides, with him there, she had already forgotten about it after getting out of the elevator.

If he hadn't walked her downstairs that morning, it would have been just a trivial matter.

Duan Yiheng hummed in agreement: "The housekeeper knocked on the door just now and said that all the people involved in the elevator malfunction have been fired."

Lin Xi was surprised for a moment: "All of them?"

Could it have been Duan Yiheng? But his expression doesn't seem like it.

Without causing any losses, they managed to fire so many people. The property management department of Tiandu Yuxi really knows how to do things quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.

However, everything was for the safety of the homeowners, and Lin Xi had no right to interfere.

Duan Yiheng nodded: "As an apology, I gave you a shopping card from the supermarket downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi suddenly became interested: "Then I'll go back and change my clothes, and we'll go shopping at the supermarket?"

Duan Yiheng: "...We offer delivery services to homeowners."

"It's fun to wander around by myself too," Lin Xi said, looking at him expectantly. "Is it okay?"

Duan Yiheng: "...Okay."

Lin Xi smiled immediately, brushed aside a rose petal, went inside, placed the rose on the coffee table in the living room, and turned to ask Duan Yiheng:

"It's not a holiday or festival today, why did you suddenly decide to buy me flowers?"

Duan Yiheng patted his leg: "Come here."

"I need to change my clothes." Lin Xi put down the flowers and was about to leave. If she stayed too close to Duan Yiheng, she wouldn't be able to shop at the supermarket.

Duan Yiheng looked at her, smiled faintly, raised his hand and leaned forward to catch her waist.

Lin Xi sat sideways on his lap, laughing as she dodged the tickle on her neck: "Why do you always like to kiss here?"

Duan Yiheng let out a low, soft laugh: "Fragrant."

Lin Xi: "I didn't wear perfume."

"I played ball with Chairman Zhao for a while today. It was only four o'clock when we finished, and I happened to be passing by the flower shop," Duan Yiheng suddenly said. "I was driving by, but then I turned around."

Lin Xi looked into his eyes: "Why did you turn around again? Was it just to buy me flowers?"

Duan Yiheng said, "You didn't see it? The sunset was just right then, and it was all falling on that flower shop."

Lin Xi asked cooperatively, "It's just a flower shop, what's so special about that?"

Duan Yiheng said, "It's located in a dilapidated brickyard in the old city. The brick walls look like they're decorated with flowers. Unfortunately, I was driving and couldn't take a picture to show you."

He wasn't originally on that road, but the navigation system warned him of construction ahead, so he took a detour.

Lin Xi seemed to be able to imagine what the scene would be like, like the flower shop that every girl in the story was determined to open.

So you brought me a bouquet?

Let her also feel the lingering warmth of the setting sun.

"Once the thought came to mind, I couldn't let it go," Duan Yiheng said. "Since there was no rush, I simply turned back."

Lin Xi leaned forward and looked up: "I like your ideas, and I also like your ability to act."

Duan Yiheng stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed her.

The sun has set today, but a bouquet of red roses remains in Lin Xi's heart.

The kiss faded from deep to shallow. Duan Yiheng's hand slid down and pressed against the back of her neck before releasing Lin Xi.

He said, "Let's go to the supermarket."

Lin Xi pressed her hand against his chest: "I haven't changed my clothes yet."

Duan Yiheng raised his chin: "Come on, I'll go change into some casual clothes too."

Less than ten minutes later, the two left hand in hand.

Since we're already out, we'll naturally have to eat dinner outside.

Lin Xi found a Thai restaurant nearby, and the two ate there before going to the supermarket.

I went in and browsed around, but didn't buy anything.

Duan Yiheng looked at Lin Xi and joked, "You actually came to the supermarket?"

Lin Xi laughed awkwardly: "We have everything we need at home. The housekeeper restocks regularly."

Duan Yiheng casually grabbed a box of cherries worth 968 yuan and tossed it into the shopping cart: "Let's buy some fruit that we don't have at home."

Lin Xi grabbed Duan Yiheng's arm: "I'm out of cookies in my office, I'll go get two boxes."

One box costs 368, two boxes cost 736, and I've already spent nearly 2,000 on just two or three items.

Lin Xi curiously shook the card: "How much money is in there?"

Duan Yiheng said, "A quick browse should be enough, but it's not enough to buy that."

Lin Xi followed his gaze and saw that it was a bottle of red wine worth 33.8 yuan.

"There's some in the wine cabinet upstairs," Lin Xi said. "Would you like some?"

Duan Yiheng shook his head, turned his gaze to her, and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

Lin Xi didn't know either, and said as she pushed the cart, "Let's wander around some more."

When Lin Xi strolled into the refrigerated section, she spotted an ice cream that caught her eye, but hesitated to touch it.

Duan Yiheng brought over the box of ice cream: "Eat if you want, but don't eat too much at once."

Lin Xi took his hand and obediently replied, "Okay."

"Do you need anything else?" Duan Yiheng asked.

Lin Xi shook her head: "Let's go home and eat ice cream."

Duan Yiheng chuckled and pulled her to pay the bill.

Since she was already there, Lin Xi decided not to have the supermarket deliver it. It wasn't heavy anyway, and Duan Yiheng could carry it.

Upon arriving home, Lin Xi forgot to change her shoes and tried to rush inside, but Duan Yiheng stopped her.

He squatted down helplessly and placed the slippers beside her feet: "What's the rush? Can ice cream grow legs and run away?"

Lin Xi chuckled dryly, took off her shoes, slipped on her slippers, and carried away the supermarket shopping bags.

Duan Yiheng then changed his shoes, entered the living room, and sat down next to her.

Lin Xi bent down and searched through the things she bought at the supermarket. Only after taking everything out did she discover two colorful little boxes in the corner of the bag.

"You're buying chewing gum..." Lin Xi picked up the small box, then paused.

It's not chewing gum at all, it's clearly a condom.
