No? Can I read the mind of my mortal enemy?

The lipstick that Shi Qiao had just repaired was pecked away by Pei Jingnian.

A force gently pressed down on the back of her head, rendering her unable to move.

The freshly applied TF100 has a faint chocolate toffee scent. Although the scent will dissipate, the one that lingers on Shi Qiao's lips becomes sweeter with each taste.

Shi Qiao gently patted Pei Jingnian's chest, but he pulled her even tighter instead.

"Nobody's here, honey, don't worry."

I listen to you the most, I won't do anything reckless.

[I suddenly felt a little wronged and wanted my wife to kiss me a little longer.]

I'll let you go when there are other people around, okay?

Shi Qiao whimpered twice, but couldn't persuade Pei Jingnian otherwise. She could only glare at him angrily and lightly bite his tongue to vent her dissatisfaction.

Pei Jingnian traced his fingertips to her waist, his mouth moving faster as he steadied her unsteady body.

His dark eyes blurred, completely capturing her somewhat disheveled expression.

His slightly puffed-out eyes, brimming with a smile, swallowed and savored the shyness and blush on her face.

Honey, are you going to keep staring at me like that?

Am I particularly good-looking?

Shi Qiao's face flushed, so she simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at her.

Honey, hook your arms around my neck and open your mouth wider, otherwise you won't be able to breathe.

[Hiss...bite me gently, sweetie.]

[This is so good, I'm going to update a bit more. If I can't bring myself to suppress it later, will you be responsible?]

The word "good girl" from her heart entered her ears and surged through her body like a small electric current, causing her to involuntarily tighten her grip on her collar.

Damn it, everything Pei Jingnian says sounds like it's been sweetened with honey.

He lazily opened his eyes, his gaze passing over the person in his arms and landing menacingly on the guests who had not yet left at the corner.

With a gentle touch, the fingertips that had slipped through her hair slid down and tugged at the silk scarf around her neck.

He slipped two fingers through the crevice, hooked a small corner of the scarf, and cleverly wrapped the rose-colored scarf between his knuckles.

He moved slowly, caressing the one he had specially planted that day.

Vibrant and eye-catching.

He tilted his head, and with two fingers through the silk scarf, he climbed up her chin, gently pinched her fair neck, forcing her upwards, and then pressed down with his tongue.

The lips are close together and then separate, and one can vaguely see the teeth and tongue that are intertwined and pressed together.

It is both a declaration and a warning.

His home is a matter of chance, and no one can take away the habitat he depends on for survival.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind her. Shi Qiao opened her eyes abruptly, pushed Pei Jingnian away, and looked around in a panic.

no one.

She breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally settling down.

It really does seem like the two of them are having an affair behind the back of a non-existent boyfriend.

However, she didn't expect Pei Jingnian to be so honest.

It really was just a normal kiss.

Shi Qiao took out a small packet of tissues from her bag and handed it to Pei Jingnian, pointing to the peach-colored lipstick she had accidentally smeared on his lips. "Here, wipe it off."

Pei Jingnian bent down and obediently brought his head close to Shi Qiao's face.

"My wife will help me."

Shi Qiao took a half step back and precisely tossed the small packet of paper into Pei Jingnian's palm.

"Dry it yourself, you shameless bastard."

Strange, it seems that Pei Jingnian's mood is much better than before.

Was it just her imagination?

*

Shi Qiao and Pei Jingnian returned to the main force at different times.

Shi Qiao was the first to return to the group. She sat back down next to Jiang Youran and frowned slightly as she looked at the glass of water in front of her. There was no lemon tea, but there was a glass of watermelon juice instead.

"Does the process of making this hand-whipped lemon tea begin with planting the lemon tree?"

"How much time has passed?" Shi Qiao asked helplessly.

Jiang Youran fiddled with the dice in her hand and poured watermelon juice for Shi Qiao. "That waiter just told me something."

"She said that during the preparation process, the performer injured his hand, apologized to me, and immediately called someone to take over the shift."

Shi Qiao was completely confused. "There's a performance involved in drinking lemon tea?"

"Maybe it's because of this performance that it got five stars?" Jiang Youran propped her head up with her hand. "I originally told her that it wasn't necessary, just a regular hand-whipped lemon tea would be fine."

"But the waiter said that the owner of this restaurant adheres to the principle that the customer is God and will make every customer satisfied."

"So, to express their apology, they gave us a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice."

"Then we drank watermelon juice while waiting for the lemon tea. They even gave us a half-price coupon for handmade lemon tea, which can be used except on holidays."

As Jiang Youran spoke, she pointed to the coupon on the table, "You can keep it. I'm not interested in places like this."

"Next time you and Pei... cough cough! You and your boyfriend suddenly feel like it, you can come over."

Shi Qiao pushed it away, saying, "I don't drink, what would I do with it?"

Jiang Youran stuffed it directly into her small bag, "Don't try to refuse."

"Hmm... but the waiter insisted that we watch a show, saying that everyone who drinks this lemon tea will want to have a million more cups, which made me quite curious."

Shi Qiao seemed to be deep in thought, "I have to say, the owner of this bar is quite good at doing business."

"If someone gets abducted, we can immediately think of ways to remedy the situation. Now we're promoting our handmade lemon tea, and we've also gained goodwill by giving away free watermelon juice. Plus, we have half-price coupons to entice you to become a repeat customer. It's killing three birds with one stone!"

Jiang Youran smiled and said, "That's clever. I wish I could react this quickly when I was learning chemistry."

Shi Qiao's mouth twitched, and she almost spat out the watermelon juice in her mouth.

A few minutes later, instead of the handmade lemon tea, Chen Yuanyuan, who was none other than Lian Yue, the voice actress Jiang Youran had been longing for, arrived!

While Chen Yuanyuan was greeting Xu Qing, the dog sneakily led Jiang Youran over to make themselves known.

The progress was even smoother than expected. Jiang Youran not only handed out her handmade materials and got a unique autograph, but also obtained Lian Yue's contact information!

Jiang Youran carefully placed the signed copy into the folder, holding it close to her chest as if it were a precious treasure.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Lian Yue! I'll continue to support you! Please keep up the good work!"

When he returned to his seat, Pei Jingnian had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing that Jiang Youran had already gotten an autograph, he looked longingly at Shi Qiao.

Honey, your friend has already gotten what he wanted. When is it my turn to ask for what I want?

But if my wife wants to stay here and play... I'll obediently wait for you.

Shi Qiao cleared her throat and moved closer to Pei Jingnian.

"Wait a little longer, Youyou and I have been waiting for this hand-squeezed lemon tea for almost half an hour."

"We need to find out exactly what kind of lemon tea it is."

She proudly pulled out a coupon, "The boss even gave us a coupon for two people! If it's delicious, come back next time for half price!"

Pei Jingnian sheepishly gave an "Oh," but he still felt this sales tactic was...

Where have I heard that before?

But right now, all he can think about is taking Shi Qiao home and making love to her, and he's too lazy to delve into such unimportant information.

Suddenly, most of the lights in the bar went out.

The waiter pushed a portable worktable in front of Shi Qiao and Jiang Youran. "Ladies, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

"This is your special hand-whipped lemon tea set meal."

"Today, you two will be served by two employees of Jinye."

Please enjoy.

Shi Qiao was grinning with her teeth showing when she suddenly pulled them back.

Wait, to which department?

Before they could stop, two men dressed in slightly sheer black turtlenecks approached them with smiling faces.

The slightly sheer black clothes clung tightly to the surface of their muscles; one had thin muscles, while the other had a slightly more exaggerated bodybuilding physique.

"Hello, sister~"

Pei Jingnian: ?

Shi Qiao: !
