The Twenty-Fifth Sentence Part 1

When it was past one o’clock in the afternoon, Pu Tao got ready to go out. She rarely wore dresses and wore one with blue and white flowers, and the sweetheart neckline revealed her collarbone and shoulders, which was colored like a pure white snow field.

Pu Tao was at the entrance to change shoes. She suddenly took a few steps forward. As she turned around, the skirt instantly swirled into a flower.

Cheng Su was waiting for her as a smile rose from his lips. “What are you doing?”

“Does it look good?” Pu Tao focused on him. “I wanted to wear it the other day, but I felt that it was too much and would be a little embarrassing since I hardly ever wear dresses.”

“But you can wear it now?”

“Yes, now that I know that you will pay attention to what I’m wearing,” she replied as she slightly puffed her chest out. “It won’t be surprising if I dress up.”

Cheng Su’s expression softened.

How could he not be attracted to her?

She was romantic by nature and had a certain innocence that was like a graceful popular princess at a ball. Like Elizabeth infecting Mr. Darcy’s soul and life.

Cheng Su went over and grabbed her hand as he pulled her close.

He led her to the door and she asked, “Are you going to say something?”

Cheng Su lowered his head and said, “I did.”

Pu Tao paused and frowned. “I didn’t hear anything.”

“If you had worn this dress that day, I wouldn’t have been so patient,” Cheng Su explained.

His wonderful timbre could coat any endearing words with an extra layer of conductive material. Pu Tao was electrocuted, and the corners of her lips rose rapidly. “If you held my hands as soon as you met me, it would seem indecent.”

Cheng Su suddenly stopped.

In the next moment, she was against the door and her back to him.

To her surprise, she felt his pants on the back of legs, and then his hands sliding up her legs.

There was nothing hindering him because she was wearing a dress.

He made his move easily, entangling her like algae, and she was going to succumb into his deep-sea pressure.

Pu Tao bit her lips. Her breathing quickened, and the air was filled with tense silence.

She supported herself with the door, and thought that it was more appropriate for her to do that. She lost all her strength. She was so weak that she could fall apart at any time.

Pu Tao gently begged for mercy, “Don’t… we have to go out…”

The tip of Cheng Su’s nose almost rubbed her ear. He lowered his voice and said, “Holding hands is not indecent.”

He felt Pu Tao’s neck contract, so he smiled silently and let her go.

Pu Tao breathed heavily after asking for forgiveness and turned back to complain, “You scared me.”

Cheng Su looked at her with content eyes, as if he was not the one creating the dangerous atmosphere just now.

Pu Tao said with unhappiness, “It was so strong and sexy, my heart was beating extremely fast.”

Cheng Su: “…” He shook his head. “Some words do not need to be said, or else it’ll easily destroy the mood.”

Pu Tao asked with confusion, “Don’t men like to listen to praise?”

Cheng Su smiled but said nothing, and then pulled her out of the house.

Cheng Su received a phone call in the elevator. It was Yong Jingshu’s husband who was encouraging him to have a meal together. He surrendered to Cheng Su’s succinct words and became the one who would take care of the bill.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Pu Tao and asked, “Remember that woman in the bookstore yesterday?”

Pu Tao recalled. “The one at the front counter?”

“Yes,” Cheng Su said. “Her husband is a childhood friend and just called to invite us to dinner.”

Pu Tao looked up.

Cheng Su had a gentle expression that showed he wasn’t going to force her into anything. “We will go if you want to, but if you don’t want to, then I’ll tell them no. It might not just be only them, but also several friends who said that they want to play board games.”

Pu Tao took a deep breath. “It’s not a definite no, but I’m afraid I’ll embarrass you,” she said. “What will we be playing?”

“Probably Werewolf.” The elevator door opened, and they walked out together. Cheng Su asked, “Have you ever played?”

Pu Tao nodded. “I have.” She played it both online and in real life. She was quite good at it, so she should not be embarrassed.

“Do you want to go?” Cheng Su knew that socializing was not the girl’s strong point, and he was worried that she would be uncomfortable.

Pu Tao was actually thinking of something deeper. “If I go, then we will be public with your friends.”

Cheng Su’s well-defined hands squeezed her hand happily. “What are you trying to say?”

“Like this, everyone will know that you have a girlfriend. You’ll end up telling them one by one, which will be troublesome.”

“Okay,” Then he asked quietly, “When are you going to introduce me to your friends?”

Pu Tao laughed and her eyes curved. “It depends on how you do~”

Hearing this, Cheng Su reached out and pulled her ponytail.

Pu Tao immediately reached for it to prevent her hair from being messed up. “Oh, you’re so childish!”

She held her hair with one hand and tore off the hair tie with the other.

Cheng Su called out to her. “Pu Tao.”

The woman looked up.

Cheng Su bent down, and Pu Tao dodged. She successfully avoided his sneak attack.

Cheng Su tsked with bafflement.

Pu Tao looked up and blinked her eyes quickly. She pretended to be completely innocent.

They looked at each other for a moment. Cheng Su looked straight ahead again, and only the smirk on his lips was proof of his failed sneak attack.
