410: Give me a kiss!

Give me a kiss!

The morning sun gently filtered through the lush trees surrounding Qiao Qing's elegant villa, casting a warm glow upon the luxurious facade. As the clock chimed seven, signaling the beginning of a new day, Qiao Qing was bustling about her room, preparing for another day of college. With her textbooks and notebooks neatly arranged in her backpack, she checked her reflection in the mirror one last time, smoothing out any stray strands of hair before making her way downstairs. 

Unbeknownst to Qiao Qing, an unexpected surprise awaited her at the villa's entrance. Jia Yuze had arrived earlier than usual, parking his sleek, black car right outside the gate. He had planned to drop Qiao Qing to her college today, and he hoped this would bring a smile to Qiao Qing's face. As he waited, his heart fluttered with excitement, anticipating her reaction.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the kitchen, Qiao Qing's mother, Mrs. Qiao, was busy preparing breakfast. She hummed a melodious tune, reflecting her contentment as a homemaker. Her joyous spirit was infectious, and it seemed like she had an inkling of the surprise that awaited her daughter.

Outside, the sound of an engine caught Mrs. Qiao's attention as she looked through the kitchen window. To her pleasant surprise, she saw a sleek black car parked right in front of their house. She recognized the car immediately; it belonged to Jia Yuze.

Mrs. Qiao's heart skipped a beat as she realized what this meant. She couldn't resist the opportunity to tease her daughter a little. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she rushed upstairs to Qiao Qing's room, her footsteps as light as the flutter of a butterfly's wings.

Knocking gently on the door, Mrs. Qiao called out, "Qing Qing, dear, are you ready? Your college chariot has arrived."

Qiao Qing, still in the process of tying her shoelaces, looked up in bewilderment at her mother's playful expression, "College chariot? What do you mean, Mom?"

Her mother's smile widened, and she said, "Come downstairs, and you'll find out."

Curiosity piqued, Qiao Qing followed her mother downstairs, her heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity. As she reached the entrance, she gasped at the sight of Jia Yuze leaning casually against his car, looking effortlessly handsome. Her surprise quickly turned into delight, and she couldn't help but blush at the thoughtfulness of her boyfriend.

Jia Yuze greeted Mrs. Qiao with a warm smile and a nod of respect, "Good morning, Auntie. I hope you're doing well."

Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but be charmed by Jia Yuze's politeness, "Good morning, Mr. Jia. I'm doing splendidly well. Thank you for asking."

Jia Yuze smiled, "Auntie, just call me Yuze."

"Okay, Yuze," Mrs. Qiao grinned, "Why are you standing outside? Come inside."

"No, auntie, I am just here to drop Qing Qing to college," Jia Yuze refused politely.

Mrs. Qiao winked at her daughter, leaving no doubt about her awareness of their young romance. "Well, you two have a great time together. Don't let me keep you any longer. College awaits!"

With that, Mrs. Qiao retreated back inside, leaving Jia Yuze and Qiao Qing alone at the doorstep. The warm morning breeze brushed against their faces, tinting the couple's faces faint red. 

Jia Yuze took Qiao Qing's hand in his, and they walked towards his car together. He then held the passenger door open for her, a chivalrous gesture that made Qiao Qing feel cherished. She settled into the comfortable seat, and they set off on their way to college.

As they drove towards the college, they engaged in light-hearted banter, laughing and exchanging stories about their day ahead. With Jia Yuze's calming presence, Qiao Qing felt any remnants of morning jitters dissipate, replaced by a feeling of joy and contentment.

The journey to college seemed all too short, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination. When Jia Yuze parked the car, Qiao Qing unbuckled her seatbelt, "Okay, then I'll go now." With that she was all ready to get off.

  "Click".

  She reached for the door handle but heard the doors being locked. 

Qiao Qing turned her head towards Jia Yuze curiously, "What happened? Why did you lock the door?"

Jia Yuze smiled, "Kiss me and only then I'll let you go."

Qiao Qing's face turned red, "What? How could I…"

Before she finished speaking, he pulled her into a hug.

"Mm…" Jia Yuze gave her a long kiss and then pinched her cheek.

It felt so good to hold her in his arms. He just wanted to tease her, but he soon lost control. The few gentle pecks became all the more passionate. Tension, or rather excitement, rose in the car. The atmosphere was filled with lust.

The sounds they made, made her embarrassed. She went all soft as her face turned red. She tugged at his shirt and buttons while her breathing picked up speed.

Jia Yuze was getting excited.

"Oh, no…" Qiao Qing felt Jia Yuze's aggression and stopped him.

Jia Yuze was suddenly conscious of his actions when she pushed him. He looked up, saw how flustered she looked, and his gaze fell back on her lips.

He closed his eyes and said, "I'll walk you to the college building."

"It's alright, I can just…"

Qiao Qing intuitively rejected him, but before she could finish speaking, she saw his eyes darken, "Why don't you want to let me walk with you? Is there any problem? Is there anything wrong with me?"

"No…" Qiao Qing was a little stunned and immediately denied it. What problem would it be? He was such an outstanding man. It was precisely because he was too outstanding that she didn't want him around. His appearance last time already made her more hated in the college as people felt that she didn't deserve him. 

Jia Yuze opened the door and said, without room for discussion, "Then let me walk you there. Let's go."

When they got off, Jia Yuze held her hand. His palm was so big and warm. She felt secure with her hand in his. It was as if they were going to hold their hands this way for life. They strolled into the campus. 

Jia Yuze walked Qiao Qing all the way to the college building.

"Go on up," He released her hand and looked at her, "I'll watch you go up first."

"Oh, then… then I'll go ahead. You should head back to the office too."

The moment he released her hand, Qiao Qing felt oddly empty, as if something was missing. It was slightly over 10 minutes of holding his hand. Why did she feel like it was a familiar norm?

She waved at him. "Bye."

With that, she turned away and was ready to go up.

"Qing Qing."

Qiao Qing had only taken two steps when she heard him. He sounded so gentle. Qiao Qing's heart fluttered and she stopped in her tracks.

She turned around slowly. "Is there anything else?"

Jia Yuze took a huge step forward and looked down at her with a smile, "Mm, I forgot something."

"What is it?"

He wrapped her in an embrace. He then kissed her—purely and without any other desire. "Don't forget to miss me."

"My phone is available 24/7 for you. If you miss me, give me a call. If you want to see me, I will immediately rush to your side."

Qiao Qing felt her heartbeat stop at this moment.

After Jia Yuze sent her upstairs, he turned around and left. He reached the parking lot and was ready to depart when he heard a knocking sound on his window. 

Jia Yuze slowly rolled down the window. Outside, Sun Qinglian's heart skipped a beat. She said, "Brother Yuze, do you remember me?"

Obviously Jia Yuze knew who Sun Qinglian was. She had tried to demean Qiao Qing in front of him. He asked impatiently, "What do you want?"

The man did not bother to cover up his indifference and disdainful attitude. He only glanced at her once before looking away. That glance lasted for one second, but it was filled with contempt.

Sun Qinglian's expression instantly changed. At once, her expression turned extremely ugly. She always thought that she was popular with the opposite sex. Since a young age, any man she liked always fell at her feet. She was beautiful and thought that since she easily seduced Shen Yong, it would be easy for her to get any other guy.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not take the bait, but he also showed a face of disgust. This was a huge blow to Sun Qinglian, who had never been rejected by a man before.

"Brother Yuze, did I anger you in any way? Why are you speaking to me like that?" There was a look of shame and indignation on Sun Qinglian's face.

"I don't think that we are so familiar that you can address me so intimately," Jia Yuze's tone grew colder, "Also I don't have time for your nonsense."2

Jia Yuze was about to drive off.
