Chapter 19

From the moment they started eating, Xiao Bing noticed that Ye Zi kept staring at him and laughing, making him feel very uncomfortable. Could it be that I'm too handsome? Too eye-catching? But that doesn't seem to be the case... This little girl's smile always leaves me uneasy, as if she's hatching some wicked plan to get me.

Xiao Bing coughed, put down his knife and fork, and asked tentatively, "What are you laughing at?"

"A man is judged by his appearance, just like a horse is judged by its saddle. I never thought you'd be such a fine horse."

"Of course," Xiao Bing said proudly, "I must be a... good horse. Ah, you're saying I'm not a man, but a horse."

Ye Zi started to giggle.

Xiao Bing couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Hurry up and eat. We still have to go to the movies later."

"I'm already done," Ye Zi said, looking at him as if he were a fool, "Didn't you know I've been sitting here waiting for you?"

Xiao Bing saw that Ye Zi had only eaten half of her steak and a third of her pizza, and was surprised, "Eating so little? Working hard in the fields under the midday sun, wasting food is not a good habit. You're eating way too little."

"That's why my figure is so good," Ye Zi said with a sweet smile, making Xiao Bing lose all resistance.

Noticing Xiao Bing staring at her blankly, Ye Zi's eyes showed a hint of shyness. She picked up her bag, stood up, and said sweetly, "Let's go, the movie is about to start."

"Uh? Oh, oh." Xiao Bing felt utterly embarrassed, wondering why he always lost his composure in front of this little girl. He swallowed and called the waiter to pay the bill, then left with Ye Zi.

As they walked out the door, Ye Zi naturally linked her arm with Xiao Bing's. Xiao Bing's heart rippled, as this was the first time Ye Zi had shown such intimate behavior. If it were any other girl, even a celebrity or a princess, Xiao Bing would never have been nervous. He would tease them without hesitation. But in front of Ye Zi, Xiao Bing suddenly felt a sense of innocence and naivety that only young boys and girls experience.

Xiao Bing felt both nervous and comfortable, his body slightly stiff, but he tried to act natural.

Ye Zi, with her playful big eyes, noticed that Xiao Bing was looking straight ahead without glancing at her. She couldn't help but press her face against his arm and started to giggle, a mischievous idea forming in her mind to tease the innocent soldier.

Since Ye Zi had Xiao Bing's arm in her embrace, as they walked, her soft chest unintentionally brushed against his arm. This wasn't intentional on her part; as a well-bred young lady, Ye Zi had never been so intimate with a man before. When she first linked her arm with Xiao Bing's, it took a lot of courage. But seeing how nervous Xiao Bing was, she felt less nervous and found it somewhat amusing.

Damn, I've been through so many battles, with lolis, mature women, gentle ladies, and neighborhood girls... I've seen it all... Why am I losing my cool in front of this girl? No, I can't lose my manly demeanor. I need to be calm and composed, showing the same poise that I maintain even after spending the night with three women.

Xiao Bing thought this, but in practice, it was different. The more he tried to act natural, the more nervous he seemed.

Ye Zi giggled, "Brother Bing, your walking posture looks like a military inspection."

"Ah? I... really?" Xiao Bing coughed, trying to sound serious, "Don't you think dating is a sacred thing? It's the first step in a romantic relationship, the prelude to marriage, and the necessary path before having a baby..."

Ye Zi lightly spat, "What nonsense."

After a few casual words, Xiao Bing felt much more relaxed. His body wasn't as stiff, and his expression wasn't as tense. He chuckled, "Have you heard the internet summary of how girls from different countries behave on dates?"

Ye Zi was curious, "No, what does it say?"

"On a date with a white girl, the first time she'll give you a goodnight kiss, the second time she'll have further physical contact, and the third time she'll sleep with you in the most ordinary way."

"On a date with an Irish girl, the first time you'll get drunk and sleep with her, the second time you'll get drunk again and sleep with her, and even after twenty years of marriage, you'll still get drunk and sleep with her..."

"On a date with a Chinese girl, the first time you'll take her to eat and watch a movie, and nothing will happen. The second time, you'll still eat and watch a movie, and nothing will happen. There won't be a third time because you'll realize that nothing will ever happen."

Ye Zi blinked her beautiful eyes, waiting for Xiao Bing's final conclusion. Then she heard him laugh, "So the internet says that dating an Irish girl is truly entering the paradise of happiness."

"Great!" Ye Zi pouted, gently pulling away from Xiao Bing's arm, "Then go date an Irish girl."

Xiao Bing suddenly stopped, looking at Ye Zi quietly. Her fair skin was as smooth as lamb's fat, her black eyes always sparkled with mischief, her delicate nose was followed by a pink, thin upper lip, and her face always wore a sweet smile, with a pair of shallow dimples on her cheeks.

Ye Zi noticed Xiao Bing's intense gaze, her eyelashes fluttered, and she first dodged, then looked up at him without hesitation.

Xiao Bing pursed his lips, facing this playful, mischievous, and cute little girl, he felt more nervous than facing countless top-notch opponents. If his previous encounters with women were just games, Xiao Bing realized that this was a war he must win.

Xiao Bing couldn't help but raise his hand and gently smoothed the few strands of hair that had fallen in front of Ye Zi's face. The mall was bustling with people, but for them, there was only each other in their eyes.

Ye Zi slightly pouted her inviting red lips, gently biting her lower lip, and this simple action had a huge impact on Xiao Bing's mind.

"Brother Bing?"

"Hmm?"

Even the usually sweet and bold Ye Zi's eyes flashed with a hint of shyness, but her gaze never wavered. She said lightly, "Do you treat your enemies on the battlefield with such shyness?"

"Ha... I've always been rough and tough, a man of iron. Shyness is not a word that applies to me..."

"Kiss me..."

"What?" Xiao Bing's heart skipped a beat.

Ye Zi smiled slyly, "Don't you think the female employee in the first men's clothing store was annoying..."

Xiao Bing suddenly remembered that in the first store, when the salesperson went to pick out clothes, he almost kissed Ye Zi, but the salesperson's sudden appearance interrupted him. Now he understood why Ye Zi had dragged him out angrily at the time.

Thinking about that scene, Xiao Bing couldn't help but laugh, and his nervousness eased. This little girl.

Ye Zi looked at Xiao Bing slyly and said with a teasing smile, "Remember, if you don't kiss me now, you won't have another chance."

Xiao Bing's lips gently approached, and both of their breathing became rapid. Just as Xiao Bing's lips were about to touch Ye Zi's soft lips, several men suddenly appeared. One of them held a handcuff and rushed towards Xiao Bing, shouting loudly, "Xiao Bing, you're under arrest!"

As he spoke, he tried to handcuff Xiao Bing's wrist.

Xiao Bing's gaze was always on Ye Zi. He kicked out, and with a loud thud, the man did two backflips in the air and flew seven meters away, landing with a thud.

Ye Zi said shyly, "This is my first time..."

Although he had kissed and even slept with many women before, Xiao Bing still said shamelessly, "Me too..."

The two finally kissed, and with a soft "pop," this gentle kiss stirred their emotions.

A kiss to seal their love!

"Damn!" The plainclothes officers were stunned, each pulling out their guns and aiming at Xiao Bing, shouting, "Damn, assaulting a police officer! Raise your hands! You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can and will be used against you. Your crime is assaulting Yu Hao of Jiangcheng Normal University, causing serious injury. Now you have another crime... assaulting a police officer. You're under arrest!"

Xiao Bing and Ye Zi kissed as if no one else was around. The moment their lips touched, they forgot everything around them. Their eyes only saw each other, nothing else.

Ye Zi softly hummed, closed her eyes, and let Xiao Bing's tongue invade her mouth, parting her lips...

The people in the mall all stopped to watch, and soon a crowd gathered, some even filming with their phones.

The plainclothes officer who had been kicked by Xiao Bing got up from the ground, his stomach still burning with pain. Seeing that the other person had kicked him and was still kissing as if no one else was around, he turned green with anger, pulled out his gun, and cursed, "Damn, I'll shoot him!"

His teammate quickly stopped him, pressing his gun down, "Captain, don't be impulsive. Wait until we take him back and deal with him slowly!"

The captain knew he couldn't handle it in public, especially since the crime, even if proven, didn't warrant a death sentence. Moreover, if he shot the other person while they were kissing, it wouldn't even count as excessive self-defense. He could only hold his breath and wait for Xiao Bing to finish kissing, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Damn, once you're locked up, I have hundreds of ways to make you wish you were dead!" He could only console himself with this thought.

Finally, Xiao Bing and Ye Zi finished their gentle kiss. Xiao Bing looked at Ye Zi with affection, and Ye Zi smiled sweetly. Then she turned her head and calmly looked at the plainclothes officers who had almost interrupted their kiss, her composed and indifferent gaze... as if no one else was there!
