The Twenty-First Sentence Part 1

Before Pu Tao followed her heart’s desire to go to Shan City, she didn’t think carefully about what she was going to do during this unpredictable holiday. She simply wanted to see Cheng Su.

She thought that if she saw him, she would feel whole and perfectly happy, and that her feelings would not be disappointed.

And now that she had feelings of wanting to be with him or experience things with him, she felt that the trip was worth it. This awareness made her happy, and she became assertive instead of passively seeking him.

The fuse that started it all was the hug, as well as Cheng Su’s attractive voice and eyes.

Pu Tao caught the surprise that flashed across the man’s face, and she quickly came up with an excuse. “Only if you don’t mind. I want to see Da Tiao.”

Her heart was beating fast. “Is she at home? I have been imitating Da Tiao for a long time and would like to visit her.”

Cheng Su smiled lightly with his eyes and said, “She’s at home.”

He was always easily thrown off by her cute mischief. “Shall we go?”

Pu Tao’s eyes widened. “Is it really okay?”

Cheng Su: “Or do you want to do it another time?”

Pu Tao picked up the book. “Let’s go.”

Cheng Su also stood up and glanced at the area next to her seat. “Give me your suitcase.”

Pu Tao bent down and picked it up. She handed it to him and asked, “Can I go to the bathroom before I go?”

Cheng Su smiled, which showed that he was fine with it. “Go.”

Cheng Su walked back to the shop, and the gossiping eyes behind the counter were locked in on him.

Cheng Su was a little uncomfortable with their stares. He turned back and warned, “Stop staring.”

Cong Shan leaned forward and smiled. “Is that girl your online match?”

Cheng Su admitted, “Yeah, what about her?”

Yong Jingshu followed up, “Next time, set me up on a blind date with someone of good quality.”

Cheng Su smiled but said nothing else.

Pu Tao dried her hands and went out to find Cheng Su.

Two pairs of eyes behind the counter went to her with teasing smiles. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ 𝕤𝕦𝕡𝕡𝕠𝕣𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕤𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕠𝕣 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕕 𝕠𝕟 𝕗𝕠𝕩𝕒𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕔.𝕔𝕠𝕞 ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Cheng Su gave a brief introduction.

Pu Tao raised her hand to say hello to them. Her tone was a little shaky. She had never been good at socializing.

Cong Shan apologized to her, “Sorry if I snubbed you, sister-in-law.”

Pu Tao accepted this new identity. “No, it’s okay. I really appreciate you helping me with my suitcase.”

Cong Shan smirked. He gave off a bad boy kind of vibe. “I can’t accept that, I really can’t. It’s not my place, otherwise my boss will make things difficult for me.”

“Come on,” Cheng Su interrupted. “Stop the nonsense.”

Cong Shan immediately closed his mouth and told them to take care.

It was the second time they were in the same car, but they were in the front seats now.

They passed by Shan City’s night scene. The mountain ranges overlapped, but it was not like the mountains where celestials lived. It had a certain enchanting charm.

Pu Tao lowered the window to let the winds blow in. The city had a natural feeling of temptation.

One side is nature; the other side is people.

Is this what Cheng Su’s view is like?

Pu Tao was making this guess during the entire journey. At the same time, she also realized the reason why Cheng Su could arrive so quickly. His apartment was not far from the bookstore.

Before the car went through the gate, she noticed the name of his community.

“The Sky’s Cloud Mirror?” She laughed, “So your stage name is real.”

Cheng Su’s hands were on the steering wheel. His lips curled. “I just moved here last year.”

Pu Tao asked, “Do you live alone?”

Cheng Su: “Sort of. Da Tiao is half a roommate.”

Pu Tao laughed out loud.

When they arrived, Pu Tao was not as nervous as yesterday, when she went into the hotel room.

Her idea that led to the sudden decision made the scale in her heart find stability and balance.

Cheng Su opened a pair of new slippers for her. The girl’s feet were unexpectedly small and did not match her height. She was like a young chick being put into an empty nest.

He looked away and asked, “Will it be hard to walk?”

Pu Tao gently bounced a bit. “It’s fine.”

She looked around. Cheng Su’s home was decorated very casually, he was not trying to achieve a certain style. Many elements complemented each other, and had a certain harmony to it.

His aesthetic was amazingly beautiful.

She liked the old shoe cabinet by the door, which was similar to a herbal cupboard. She squatted to admire it for a moment and asked curiously, “Did you study design in college?”

Cheng Su said, “No, I studied finance.”

Pu Tao nodded with admiration. “You must be the kind of person whose left and right brains are well developed.”

“Maybe,” Cheng Su said without being modest. “I’ll look for Da Tiao.”

Pu Tao grabbed the hem of his shirt.

Cheng Su turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Pu Tao straightened up, and she appeared a little taller. However, she was still petite to him.”Can I have a hug?”

“Just for a moment?” He needed clarification.

Pu Tao giggled. She looked up and found his eyes. “If I ask to make it longer, will you agree?”

Cheng Su didn’t reply. In the next moment, he took her arm and pulled her into his embrace.
