He didn't notice the slightest hint of unhappiness or disappointment from Zheng Mengni. Therefore, his gift felt inconsequential—whether it was there or not didn’t really matter. Thinking of this, Wei Jingxi inexplicably felt a bit irritated.
However, the less Zheng Mengni seemed to care, the more impatient Wei Jingxi became to open the bag and show her the ring he had brought back from the auction. He wanted to show off, but more than that, he wanted to see her surprised expression. Yet, it wasn’t the right time.
“Got it, you stingy person. Hurry inside; I don’t want to stand in a long line.” The next moment, Zheng Mengni took the initiative to link her arm with his, pushing and nudging him closer.
Still have to queue? Wei Jingxi had never been here before, so he was unaware of the rules inside. Zheng Mengni’s closeness lifted his spirits again, and he casually replied, “Why not just book the whole place?”
“No way! Coming here is all about experiencing the lively atmosphere with lots of people. If we book it just for the two of us, that would be so boring.”
Wei Jingxi misunderstood her again, a shadow of gloom and pain crossing his eyes. Was being alone with him really that boring?
“Hey, did you get a tattoo?” Suddenly, Zheng Mengni exclaimed as she held up his arm to take a look, her eyes sparkling.
Still in Italy? She looked while reciting.
Wei Jingxi blushed and pulled his hand away. “It’s just for fun; you’ve seen my previous tattoos. Why make such a big deal out of this one?”
Zheng Mengni blinked innocently. “I didn’t mean to; it’s just surprising.”
As she spoke, her gaze slowly moved upward, landing on the side of Wei Jingxi's ear. No wonder his hair had been cut so short. The vertical lettering behind his ear spelled out her name.
He actually took those casual words from that day to heart.
Unexpectedly, Wei Jingxi shot her a blank stare, his fierce expression looking somewhat forced and unnatural.
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen someone who cares like this; I’ve never met anyone as caring as you,” Zheng Mengni remarked sarcastically.
Her tone combined with his unsmiling face made him appear oddly endearing—if only he wouldn’t throw tantrums or get into fights.
Zheng Mengni gently touched his earlobe with her hand. Wei Jingxi had three piercings on each ear, adorned with earrings that sparkled under the light, and there was that cool, refreshing fragrance that she had caught a whiff of earlier.
It felt a bit like a peacock spreading its feathers.
Zheng Mengni withdrew her hand, her eyes shimmering with sweet laughter, making her look particularly beautiful. She softly said, "I really like it."
Wei Jingxi's ears were still warm from her touch, and his thoughts were slightly scattered. "W-what do you mean you like?"
Of course, Zheng Mengni continued, "I mean I like it. What did you think?"
Wei Jingxi realized she was just teasing him.
He wrapped his arms around her neck and pulled her closer, feigning annoyance. "You're so self-absorbed. Would it kill you to give me a compliment?"
He had spent hours getting ready that morning, barely sleeping, yet he received no praise from Zheng Mengni.
Wei Jingxi pretended to be upset, but as he pressed against Zheng Mengni's soft body, he couldn't help but let a smile slip through his facade.
Are you saying you don’t appreciate my words?
The girl in his arms tilted her charming face up, her round eyes glimmering with mischief.
Her eyes were so bright that Wei Jingxi felt a bit dizzy.
He wanted to reach out and pinch Zheng Mengni's fair cheek, like the delightful desserts in a pastry shop. He found himself unable to resist her charm, wanting to touch her endlessly.
But he remembered that Zheng Mengni didn’t like being touched on the face while she was wearing makeup.
She had high standards for her appearance and didn’t want any flaws to mar her face.
Wei Jingxi suppressed the desire bubbling within him. He would wait until tonight; he would wait until then.
