Chapter 18 - A Gentle Kiss
Xiao Bing realized that Yezi had started to stare at him ever since the dinner began. Her smile made Xiao Bing feel nervous. Was it because he was too handsome? It didn’t feel like it. It felt like she a few tricks up her sleeve and wanted to prank him.
Xiao Bing coughed and put down his knife. He asked, “What are you smiling at?”
“Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. I didn’t expect you to be a good-looking horse.”
“Of course.” Xiao Bing flattered, “I must be good looking ho.. Uh, you said I’m not a man but a horse.”
Yezi giggled.
‘There is nothing I can do about you.’ Xiao Bing thought with a wry smile, “Eat your dinner first. We still have a movie to watch later.”
“I’m already done.” Yezi looked at him like he was an idiot. “Don’t you know I’ve been sitting here, waiting for you?”
Yezi only ate half her steak and one-third of her pizza. Xiao Bing looked at the food she left with surprise, “You eat so little? Every grain is precious. It’s not a good habit to have leftovers. You eat too little.”
“That’s why I have a good body.” Yezi smiled sweetly, a smile that Xiao Bing couldn’t resist.
Yezi found Xiao Bing staring at her blankly. Her eyes showed some shyness. She picked up her bag, stood up and smiled sweetly, “Let’s go. The movie is about to begin.”
“Eh? Oh, oh.” Xiao Bing thought to himself, ‘I feel so damn ashamed to have so little composure in front of this little girl.’ He gulped and called for a waiter. After paying the bill, he left with Yezi.
While walking out, Yezi naturally put her arm around his. Xiao Bing was flattered. For the first time, Yezi was so close to him, almost as if they were a couple. Actually, Xiao Bing was never afraid to face other girls, even celebrities or royal princesses. He was never afraid when flirting with them, but in front of Yezi, he felt the youth and shyness of an inexperienced teenager.
Xiao Bing felt both nervous and at ease at the same time. His body was slightly stiff, but he pretended to be natural and relaxed.
Yezi, blinking with her mischievous eyes, began to snicker when she saw Xiao Bing so stiff. She suddenly felt like teasing and flirting with this innocent soldier brother.
Because Yezi was hugging Xiao Bing’s arm, as she walked, her chest inadvertently rubbed up and down on Xiao Bing’s arm. She didn’t do it on purpose. As a girl from a respectable family, Yezi had never been so close to a man before. She had gathered up her courage before she had done so. But Xiao Bing’s nervousness made her felt more impish than nervous.
‘Shit, after all these years, I have met all kinds of women, from young girls to mature women, from elegant ladies to innocent girls. How can I be so nervous in front of this girl? No way. I can’t throw away my composure. I have to stay calm.’
But what Xiao Bing did was totally different from what he thought. The more deliberate he was, the more anxiety he showed.
Yezi giggled, “Brother Bing, from the way you walk, why do I feel like you’re at a military inspection?”
“Ah? I.. am I?” Xiao Bing coughed dryly and said seriously, “Don’t you think dating is a very sacred thing? This is the first step into a relationship between couples. It’s a prelude to marriage and the only stepping stone to having a child..”
Yezi spat out, “What nonsense!”
Xiao Bing became more relaxed after the chat. He felt not as stiff as earlier, and his face also felt more relaxed. He laughed and said, “Have you heard of this? When on a date, girls from different countries will have different reactions.”
Yezi asked curiously, “No. What does it say?”
“When dating a white girl, the first night she will kiss you goodbye, the second time she will make physical contact, and the third time she will sleep with you.”
“When dating an Irish girl, the first time you will get drunk with her and sleep with her, the second time you will get drunk with her again and sleep with her again. After 20 years of marriage, you will still get drunk with her and sleep with her..”
“Dating with a Chinese girl, the first time you will take her for dinner and a movie, and nothing will happen. The second time you will have dinner and movies again, and nothing will happen. Then there will be no third time.. because you realize that nothing will ever happen.”
Yezi blinked her eyes and waited for Xiao Bing to give the punchline. Xiao Bing laughed and said, “So they say that dating an Irish girl is like heaven.”
“You!” Yezi pouted and tugged on Xiao Bing’s arm. She pretended to get angry and said, “Go date an Irish girl then.”
Xiao Bing stopped. He looked at Yezi quietly. Her skin was as smooth as silk, her eyes always so bright with wisdom. On her smiling face were her little nose, pink lips, and a pair of dimples.
Yezi noticed him staring. She fluttered her eyelashes and dodged Xiao Bing’s gaze at first, but she then decisively looked up at Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing pursed his lips. He was more nervous when he was facing this lovely, cunning little girl, compared to standing on a battlefield. ‘If he were just playing games with other women, then the girl today would be a battle that he must win.’ Xiao Bing thought to himself.
Xiao Bing couldn’t help but raise his hands, brushing away her bangs. In this crowded shopping mall, they only had eyes for each other.
Yezi slightly tilted her alluring, rosy lips and took a gentle bit them. This simple move hit Xiao Bing hard.
“Brother Bing?”
“Yes?”
Shyness could be seen in Yezi’s eyes, who used to be lovely and bold. But she still looked straight at Xiao Bing and said, “Are you so shy with your enemies on the battlefield?”
“Are you kidding.. I have always been a bold and daring man with a strong character. The word shyness is..”
“Kiss me..”
“What?” Xiao Bing panicked.
Yezi said, with a faint smile on her face, “Don’t you find the salesgirl in the first men’s clothing store was really annoying..”
Xiao Bing suddenly came around. Earlier in the first store, he almost couldn’t help kissing Yezi when the salesgirl went to find the clothes. But then she suddenly showed up and interrupted the kiss. Xiao Bing finally realized why Yezi dragged him out of the store so angrily. It all made sense now.
Xiao Bing couldn’t stop smiling when he thought about what had happened, which also made him less nervous.
Yezi looked at Xiao Bing cunningly and smiled, “Here is the deal. If you don’t kiss me now, you won’t get another chance.”
Xiao Bing slowly leaned forward, which made both of them short of breath. Just as Xiao Bing’s lips nearly touched Yezi’s, several men suddenly burst into the scene. One of these men came straight to Xiao Bing with a pair of handcuffs and shouted righteously, “Xiao Bing, you’re under arrest!”
He started to put the handcuffs on Xiao Bing’s wrists while talking.
Xiao Bing didn’t move his eyes away from Yezi. He kicked the man away and with a bang, the man landed several meters away.
Yezi said shyly, “This is my first time..”historical
Even though he had kissed many women before and even slept with them, Xiao Bing still said shamelessly, “Me too..”
They finally kissed each other. The soft kiss would have made anyone feel touched.
Fall in love at first kiss!
“Shit!” All the plainclothes police were stunned because of what had occurred. They pulled out their guns, aimed at Xiao Bing and shouted, “Shit! You attacked the police! Put your hands up! You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say may be used against you in the court of law. You’re accused of beating Yu Hao, a student from Jiangcheng Normal University, and inflicting severe injury. Now you have another charge, attacking the police. You’re under arrest!”
Xiao Bing and Yezi kissed like there was no one around. They forgot everything when their lips touched. They had nothing in their eyes but each other.
Yezi moaned and closed her eyes. She didn’t refuse when Xiao Bing started to stick his tongue into her mouth..
Everyone in the mall stopped to watch. Soon there were many people watching, and some of them even took photos with their phones.
The plainclothes police, who got kicked by Xiao Bing, finally got up from the ground with a burning pain in his stomach. Seeing that they were still kissing after kicking him, his face turned pale with anger. He took out his pistol and cursed, “Damn, I’ll kill him!”
His teammate stopped him and lowered his gun. “Captain, don’t be so rash. We can mess him up after we take him away!”
The captain also knew that he couldn’t do that in front of so many people. What’s more, Xiao Bing wouldn’t die even if he got convicted. Moreover, they were kissing now. If he blew Xiao Bing’s brains out with one shot, he wouldn’t get away even if he invoked self-defense rights. Due to this, he could only endure his anger. Yet, he dared not go forward due to Xiao Bing’s kick just now. The captain had to stand there and wait for Xiao Bing to finish kissing. He felt so wronged.
“Shit, when I take you into custody, I have hundreds of ways to make you wish you were dead!” He could only appease himself internally.
Finally, Xiao Bing and Yezi finished their kiss. Xiao Bing looked at Yezi lovingly, and Yezi smiled sweetly. Then she turned around and looked indifferently at the plainclothes police who had just nearly disturbed their kiss. The look was calm and indifferent.. as if no one were watching!
