Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxing’s expression remained unchanged. He silently closed the notebook and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
However, the calr Shen Lingxing’s reaction, the more guilty Mi Jing felt, thinking this was likely the calm before the storm. She hurriedly explained, "You... don’t misunderstand, this diary, I haven’t looked at it in years. I took it out today intending to burn it, but when I got to the top of Lion Mountain, it was too dark. There was no one there except Ruanruan and , so I panicked and rushed back without... without having the chance to burn it." She paused for a mont at the last sentence, nervously eyeing Shen Lingxing, worried he wouldn’t believe her.
"I didn’t misunderstand." After patiently listening to Mi Jing’s explanation, Shen Lingxing suddenly reached out and pulled her close, speaking in a calm tone.
Didn’t misunderstand?
Startled, Mi Jing lifted her head in surprise, looking at Shen Lingxing’s profile. Without thinking, she blurted out, "This is the diary I wrote when I was with Han Xiujie."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Mi Jing’s eyes widened in shock, secretly lanting her quick tongue for saying such an inappropriate thing.
But Shen Lingxing’s reaction remained impassive. "I know," he said calmly.
He knows?
Mi Jing could hardly believe her ears, feeling uneasy and exposed, she asked cautiously, "How did you know?!"
"I saw. The drawings in it aren’t of ."
"I..." Mi Jing was rendered speechless. Hearing Shen Lingxing’s reply, she suddenly realized she had asked a foolish question.
The once sweet atmosphere gradually changed. Amid the silence, Mi Jing desperately wanted to say sothing, but didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, she felt like there were pins and needles in her seat, and she was incredibly uncomfortable.
"Are you free next week?"
"It’s all in the past, I..."
After a brief silence, they both spoke at the sa ti. As their eyes t, Mi Jing swallowed the rest of her words.
"Since it’s in the past, don’t worry, I won’t mind." Noticing Mi Jing’s tension, Shen Lingxing’s voice softened, showing understanding.
In fact, he hadn’t intended to pry into Mi Jing’s privacy. When the diary fell to the ground, he was attracted by the drawings and picked it up, only to belatedly realize it docunted her past with soone else.
It’s impossible to say he didn’t care, but he truly didn’t mind. After all, they were both adults and having had one or two relationships before eting each other was entirely normal.
Upon hearing this, Mi Jing imdiately relaxed, gave Shen Lingxing a joyful look, then hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder. Breathing in his pleasant scent, she felt an indescribable sense of security.
She knew he wasn’t a petty person. Maybe it was because she cared too much that she would involuntarily beco overly nervous, worried he would be unhappy, worried he would hold a grudge...
"Do you have any plans? I can close the shop next week." After a while of silence, Mi Jing lazily spoke, already thinking of taking ti off work.
"I want to take you on a trip," Shen Lingxing said, looking down at Mi Jing.
A trip?
Mi Jing looked up in surprise, gazing at Shen Lingxing with eyes sparkling with joy.
"Where do you want to go?" Shen Lingxing was pleased with Mi Jing’s reaction, his gaze becoming tender and beautiful as he asked with a faint smile.
"Where I want to go..." Mi Jing murmured to herself, her mind quickly spinning. The next mont, beautiful images flashed through her mind one by one.
"I have many places I want to go. I want to see the snow in Snow Village, the aurora in Antarctica. As long as it’s a place with beautiful scenery, I want to go." Mi Jing fell into a pleasant reverie. As she spoke, her bright, dark eyes seed to be talking too, expressing her joy and anticipation, her gaze lively and charming.
"Choose one place you want to go the most. We’ll find ti to visit the other places later." Shen Lingxing gazed intently into Mi Jing’s eyes, his dedicated look filled with unmistakable affection.
"There’s no one place I want to go the most." Mi Jing hooked her arms around Shen Lingxing’s neck and smiled. "As long as you’re with , it doesn’t matter where we go."
"Then how about I accompany you upstairs now?" Shen Lingxing curled his lips into an ambiguous smile.
Hearing this, Mi Jing imdiately put on a serious face, glaring at Shen Lingxing, "Can you not be such a killjoy? Can’t you think of sothing else?"
"Right now, I’m only thinking about you, no ti for anything else."
"Hmph, smooth-talker." Mi Jing huffed, then said, "Weren’t you hungry? I’ll cook for you."
As she spoke, Mi Jing made to get up, but Shen Lingxing pulled her back. Then a sexy voice floated to her ear, "Nothing can quell my hunger better than you."
Suddenly, Mi Jing’s mouth twitched, pretending to be pitiful. "I haven’t had dinner yet. Would you really let go hungry?"
"You haven’t had dinner, yet you went off wandering on Lion Mountain?" Shen Lingxing frowned slightly, a bit reproachfully.
"Ahem—"
Mi Jing coughed, thinking she could hardly be any dumber, having accidentally given herself away.
"I did eat sothing." Mi Jing suppressed her guilty feelings and asked with feigned righteousness, "What about you? Did you have dinner?"
"..."
Shen Lingxing pressed his lips together without answering, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Hmph, now you have no grounds to bla , huh?
Mi Jing looked at Shen Lingxing’s back and raised her eyebrows proudly.
"What do you want to eat?"
Suddenly, Shen Lingxing turned around. Mi Jing didn’t have ti to react, and her proud expression froze on her face.
"Whatever you want," she laughed awkwardly after a second or two, her stiff facial muscles finally relaxing. "I’ll eat whatever you want."
"Your smile’s quite unattractive."
Un... unattractive?
Hearing this, Mi Jing felt a chill run through her, wishing she could imdiately find a mirror to check her appearance, her earlier smugness completely gone.
Is it really unattractive?
Mi Jing took out her phone, using the selfie cara as a mirror to examine her smile, studying it intently and carefully, not noticing the smile forming on Shen Lingxing’s lips.
Sigh, whatever. Unattractive it is!
After scrutinizing herself for a while, Mi Jing put down her phone, sighed a little in resignation, and then turned her head towards the kitchen, shouting, "Do you need help?"
