At four in the afternoon in Qinghe, the sun was already setting in the winter sky. Despite the darkening sky, it was still brilliant everywhere as people continued to burn more firecrackers and light up lanterns.

At four in the afternoon in Qinghe, the sun was already setting in the winter sky. Despite the darkening sky, it was still brilliant everywhere as people continued to burn more firecrackers and light up lanterns.

Xinghe held Jiahe’s hand and they were strolling the streets casually. Jiahe now had Xinghe’s black cashmere scarf wrapped around her neck, so even if the bone-chilling wind swept across her, she would not feel the chill.

There was not much to do in Qinghe, in fact. After getting their lunch at a restaurant in the town, they went back to the hotel to just chill for the afternoon.

Jiahe was thinking about something. Should she go home soon?

As she continued to mull over that, her phone began to ring.

The incoming caller ID indicated that it was her mother.

“Hello, Mum.”

“Honey, you’re not done with your gathering yet? Your uncle is still around and we are waiting for you to come home for dinner. Where is your gathering? Should I ask Dad to go get you?”

Jiahe immediately dismissed her kindness, “No need for that. I will come back home soon.”

Xinghe naturally overheard their conversation. He purposely toned down his voice as if he was upset, “Is it an embarrassment to say that you’re with me? You’re even lying that you are in some gathering.”

“But my mum still thinks that I am dating Chi Jun. Now that we are officially a thing, I don’t want her to misunderstand. I am going to find time to talk to my parents about this.”

After saying that, Jiahe gaped at her while making a girly face. However, Xinghe continued to maintain a cool facade. Jiahe thought that she was good at reading the situation. She immediately poked Xinghe’s huge hands, but her hand was grabbed by him abruptly.

Xinghe stared at her coldly, “What are you doing?”

Jiahe looked up at him and winked, “I am being lovey-dovey with you.”

Xinghe was speechless.

However, Jiahe’s face was naturally adorable, so even if she was being clingy and it felt quite cringe, he did not feel that she was disgusting at all.

Jiahe had caught his attention. He gazed at her intensely and barked, “Do you think this is enough?”
