152: Chapter 152 The Adorable Jia Yiling (A bit late due to logistical issues)

Jia Yiling fantasized about the beautiful future for a full ten minutes before suddenly snapping back to her senses.

She remembered her sister teaching her that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and that any benefit obtained must come with a price.

So, what kind of price would she have to pay to obtain this dream-like future?

Or rather, for what purpose was the other party making this proposal? Was it a trade?

Was the affection between them just a commodity that could be traded?

Much of the smile on her face faded as she looked calmly at Zhao Xiaoshuai. "I really, really want that kind of future, but what price do I need to pay?"

In that instant, Jia Yiling thought of many possible demands the other party might make.

As long as they weren't too excessive, she could agree to them, but such a relationship wouldn't be the love she hoped for.

But if she could only have one between her dreams and love, she would choose her dreams. After all, if the trading partner was him, she didn't seem to dislike it that much.

It was just that there would be some regrets after all.

"Price? Why would there be a price?"

"My sister told me there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. How could I possibly get such a beautiful future without paying a price?"

It seemed Jia Yiling really did have a very good sister.

"Your sister makes a lot of sense."

"How about this then? The price is that you must make a little girl named Jia Yiling happy for the rest of her life, and keep her current innocence and kindness forever. Can you do that?"

Jia Yiling's eyes widened slightly.

In her expectations, such a possibility did exist, but she had only dared to fantasize about it for a moment before tossing it into a corner.

The person she liked liked her back, and he was wholeheartedly good to her. How could there be such a wonderful thing in the world? Yet, she had actually encountered it!

Her heart suddenly began to beat fast, and it was getting faster and faster.

This feeling had appeared a few times before; she knew she was in love again.

"How can you be so good to me?"

"Because you're worth it."

Jia Yiling's eyes grew a bit moist.

"I've figured it out. I didn't misjudge you from the start. You are my ideal person. I like you. Would you be my boyfriend?"

"Even if I can't guarantee that you'll be my only girlfriend?"

"Even if I'm not your only one!"

"Don't you feel wronged or unwilling?"

"I did before, and I still feel a tiny bit now—really just a tiny bit! But I have a feeling that after being with you, I won't feel that way anymore."

"Alright then, close your eyes."

Jia Yiling obediently closed her eyes.

The light inside the car wasn't bright, and he didn't bother turning on the lights. With his current superhuman vision, this small matter wasn't an issue at all.

Jia Yiling's breathing was a bit hurried. It was clear she was nervous, and her expression held a bit of anticipation, so much so that her chin unconsciously tilted up slightly, as if to "welcome" him.

But Zhao Xiaoshuai just quietly admired her, not in any rush.

Her eyelashes were long but fine, so their beauty wasn't obvious without a close look. Right now, those long eyelashes were fluttering, looking very cute.

Her lips were full and glossy, likely from wearing lip balm, making them look fresh and delicious.

Just then, Jia Yiling, unable to wait any longer for what came next, quietly opened her eyes a crack.

As everyone knows, this action was completely self-deceptive; from the outside, it was actually very obvious.

So it was at this moment that Zhao Xiaoshuai moved in and "consumed" her.

It was a bit warm and sweet, like a piece of jelly coated in honey.

So he continued to "eat" her as if he were eating jelly.

*Slurp slurp.*

The moment she was "eaten," Jia Yiling squeezed her eyes shut again and didn't dare to move.

Her heart beat faster and faster, and for a moment, she even forgot to breathe.

After "cleaning off" all the lip balm she had applied, Zhao Xiaoshuai pulled back slightly and continued to look at that angelic face.

Jia Yiling, feeling a bit lightheaded from the lack of oxygen, finally remembered to breathe. She gasped for air, still not daring to open her eyes.

The tips of her ears had turned completely red; she was incredibly shy. But as long as she didn't open her eyes, she could continue to play dumb in self-deception.

The continuous rapid breathing made her lips a bit dry, so she naturally stuck out her tongue to lick them.

But it was precisely at this moment that Zhao Xiaoshuai accurately captured the instant and launched another offensive.

"Mmph..."

Jia Yiling's mind was completely muddled. She had no idea what to do and simply let Zhao Xiaoshuai have his way.

With a thud, the back of her head hit the car window, but she had no time to worry about whether it hurt.

She only felt a nimble fish slip inside, frolicking happily.

They played happily and with great rapport, frolicking in your nest for a while, then chasing each other in mine.

The two fish moistened each other and swallowed.

Zhao Xiaoshuai noticed that Jia Yiling didn't seem to have breathed for a long time, so he paused in alarm to check on her, only to see an infinitely seductive scene.

Jia Yiling still kept her small mouth slightly open. Though the two fish had temporarily separated, they weren't completely apart; a silver thread tightly connected them.

As if she had been drowning, the lovely Jia Yiling gasped for air violently again.

"You little dummy, what is your nose for? How can you forget how to breathe?"

After a brief reminder, Zhao Xiaoshuai could no longer restrain himself because Jia Yiling remained in the same posture they were in when they just separated.

This seductive pose, combined with her innocent angelic face—no physiologically normal man could resist.

Since your fish is unwilling to return to its nest, let it stay at my place then.

His current movements were a bit like eating sugarcane—the final draw of sweet nectar after chewing it up.

*Slurp slurp.*

But Jia Yiling was already lightheaded and didn't hear his reminder at all, nor did she remember on her own that her nose was actually for breathing.

Under repeated oxygen deprivation and intense exertion, she fainted during yet another long bout of nibbling...

Zhao Xiaoshuai was dumbfounded.

"I was just kissing her; it shouldn't be life-threatening, right?"

Fortunately, pressing his head firmly against her chest, he could still hear a strong and rapid heartbeat, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

He reluctantly pulled his head away, also fearing he might actually make it hard for her to breathe. While it wasn't life-threatening, it would be uncomfortable for her.

Looking at Jia Yiling, Zhao Xiaoshuai laughed at himself:

"I always thought 'fainting from a kiss' was just an exaggerated description. I didn't expect it to actually happen."
