Chapter 428: Adore (2)

The darkness of night was gentle, the moon was bright, and the stars were scarce. There was a faint floral fragrance in the air.

Shi Sui stared at her with his lips slightly curled into a smile, seemingly answering her question. However, he seemed to be giving a devoted confession.

“I do, I’ll like all the gifts that you give me.”

The young girl in front of him smiled, her eyes curled up like crescents, quiet and pretty.

“It’s good that you like it.” Xiang Yi pursed her lips and smiled, “I’m going in then.”

“Wait a minute.” Shi Sui called out to her.

“Huh?”

Xiang Yi turned around and looked at him in confusion.

The man fumbled in his trousers pocket and took out a velvet box. He said in a gentle voice, “It’s from a brand sponsor. See if you like it or not.”

Xiang Yi opened the box to see that it was an extremely exquisite bracelet. It was decorated with some diamonds, each of which was of quite a large carat. As it moved, it emitted dazzling rays of light.

Thanks to the gemstone mine that her aunt had given her, Xiang Yi had a certain understanding of the gemstone.

She asked with some uncertainty, “Brand sponsor… Will they sponsor you with such an expensive gemstone?”

Shi Sui said with a straight face, “Yeah.”

Xiang Yi had always believed everything he said so after hearing his words, she said, “You’re indeed very popular.”

‘That’s why the brand sponsored him with such an expensive bracelet.’

“Are you sure you can give it to me? The brand didn’t insist that you have to wear it yourself?” Xiang Yi asked.

“No.” Shi Sui chuckled and said, “Besides, I think it suits you better.”

Xiang Yi picked up the bracelet and scrutinized it. She liked it so she didn’t refuse out of courtesy, and instead, thanked, “Thank you.”

“Do you need me to help you put it on?”

Xiang Yi didn’t think much about it and subconsciously handed her hand and the bracelet to him.

He looked down and put on the bracelet for her meticulously. It was thin and it tickled her fair wrist when it brushed against her skin inadvertently

Xiang Yi’s fingertips shuddered a little.

“There you go.”

The man’s low and deep voice made her snap back to reality. Xiang Yi retracted her hand and then said in an extremely tender voice, “Thank…thank you.”

‘It turns out that’s how it feels like to have a crush on someone.’ She was deep in thought.

Shi Sui blinked. “Well then…goodnight?”

Xiang Yi said, “Goodnight.”

After the two of them said goodnight to each other, Xiang Yi returned to her room. Her footsteps were light and she even skipped twice.

Shi Sui was still at the balcony. He reached a hand into his pocket but he didn’t find the cigarette box. All he found was…a lollipop.

It was from Xiang Yi.

He had quite a strong smoking addiction and tolerating till now was already almost his limit.

However, when he saw the candy, he slowly peeled off the wrapper with joy in his eyes and bit the candy.

The sweetness spread, stimulating his nervous system to secrete dopamine, the pleasure hormone. The corners of his mouth were slightly curled up and he suddenly felt that it wasn’t difficult to quit smoking.

…

When Xiang Yi returned to her room, Jiang Jiujiu happened to push the door and entered. She squinted when she saw the bracelet on her wrist.

“Have you hooked up with that dog of a man?”

She sounded like she was questioning an unfaithful scumbag.

Xiang Yi said, “We didn’t.”

Jiang Jiujiu heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good, I knew you didn’t like him!”

Xiang Yi hesitated for a moment before choosing to be honest with her friend. “I think he doesn’t like me.”

Jiang Jiujiu was speechless.

Seeing how dumbstruck Jiang Jiujiu was, Xiang Yi calmed down.

She chose not to confess her feelings to Shi Sui because she didn’t want to affect him during the filming of the live stream.

However…

Having a crush on him wasn’t something to be ashamed of.

She nodded and said, “Yes, I have a crush on him.”
