Chapter 8.3 — Your Smile that is Even More Enchanting (3)

Both of their homes were out of the question...

Regardless of whether it was in front of her parents or his dad, to openly walk into one room with him and spend the night together was out of the question. Merely thinking about it already caused Chu Jian to feel so embarrassed she could die. She sidestepped his action that was asking for more kisses. "Aren't you really busy? Plus, Dad and Mom are both there. It wouldn't be very good. It really wouldn't be very good."

With a chuckle, Jian Bianlin swept his hair back from his forehead and lightly blew out a breath.

Continue rehearsing.

After Chu Jian left, he and the ensemble dancers practiced until past eleven o'clock, and everyone was exhausted. With sweat streaming down his face, Jian Bianlin lay flat on his back on the floor. Pulling over a towel, he threw it over his face and blocked the light out from his vision.

Soreness of muscles and the satisfaction of having a good sweat will allow people to swiftly become immersed in their own emotions—extreme fatigue, but also extreme satisfaction.

In this moment, what coursed through his mind were those things of the past that were vivid in his memory. Even the smell of the room, as well as the burning sensation of the sun on his skin, was very distinct.

"Jian Bianlin, Jian Bianlin."

His head hurt from listening to this. Turning, he looked against the light in that direction.

A quilt came hurtling toward his face, covering it and the upper half of his body. Chu Jian pounced onto him, pounding him fiercely a couple of times with her little fists. Then, without even waiting for him to push her off, she leapt off the bed again. "You are so bad! You actually tattled on me!" After saying this, she ran away...

He whipped off the quilt, not knowing at all what offense he had committed against her this time. It was only at dinnertime that night that he finally found out. Since learning that she was going to be attending preparatory class for primary school, Chu Jian had been fussing and crying that she wanted to wear a red dress. Her parents would not buy one for her, so she had taken the pocket money that she had saved up for a long time, gone to the shopping centre, and bought a piece of fabric. After she had come back and, based on what she had imagined in her mind, cut the fabric into two pieces, one for the front and one for the back of the dress, she had successfully managed to break her family's sewing machine. Then, when she was trying to repair the sewing machine, she had ended up kicking over two insulated carafes, knocking over two cactuses—

In short, the end result was that Chu Jian had been given a spanking.

At the time, it was only after his dad mentioned this that Jian Bianlin remembered that, earlier in the afternoon, he had heard a racket next door and had popped over for a look. Hence, Chu Jian had thought that he had tattled on her. Not only had she taken revenge, she also refused to talk to him for a week. When Saturday finally came, Chu Jian's parents were not around, so Jian Bianlin's dad pulled out some money and gave it to Jian Bianlin, telling him to take Chu Jian to have KFC. Only then was there at last some interaction between the two of them.

Purposely passing through a shopping centre, Jian Bianlin searched for a long while until he finally caught sight of a red dress. Deliberately, he slowed his steps. Beside him, Chu Jian took a couple of covetous glances at the dress before finally speaking her first words to him since beginning her silent treatment toward him. "What do you think? Isn't it really pretty? My mom just won't let me buy it. She says it's too showy..."
