Li Luo bumped into his chest unexpectedly, and his nose was immediately filled with his unique refreshing scent - like the smell of cedar mixed with mint, so clean that he didn't sound like a soldier who had been fighting all day long, but instead had a bit of a cold and otherworldly tone.
But at this moment, this coldness is mixed with the warmth of body temperature, which is so contradictory that it makes people's heart beat faster.
"I knew you could do it." Lu Jingcheng lowered his head and gave Li Luo a light kiss on her hot cheek, his voice filled with undisguised joy.
The laughter that spilled from his chest was deep and warm, making Li Luo's ears numb.
His fingers unconsciously entangled with the ends of her hair, wrapping the soft hair around his fingertips again and again, as if he wanted to put all the joy of the moment into this small action.
Li Luo froze.
She originally just wanted to tease this shy man, but she didn't expect him to suddenly "fight back".
The place on my cheek that was kissed felt like it was burned by a branding iron, and the heat quickly spread to my ears.
She tried to struggle frantically, but was held tightly in his strong arms.
"Let go, let go..." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper. Her fingers unconsciously grabbed the fabric on his chest, and immediately let go as if they were burned.
She caught a glimpse of the mischievous looks from the teammates around her, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"So many people are watching us..." She protested in a low voice, her eyes wandering, not daring to look directly into his smiling eyes.
It was as if Lu Jingcheng had suddenly turned on a switch.
Not only did he not let go, but he moved even closer, his warm breath spraying on her red earlobes:
"What are you afraid of?" His voice was more arrogant than ever before. "Let them see."
His slender fingers gently brushed across her ears, tucking the unruly strand of hair behind her ears, his fingertips lingering on her hot skin, "My girlfriend is so amazing, and I'm not allowed to show off?"
Li Luo opened her eyes wide in embarrassment, but her eyes collapsed instantly when she met his smiling eyes.
Those eyes that were usually calm and composed were now incredibly bright, like the brightest stars in the eternal night.
She hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to drink the porridge, but she choked and coughed repeatedly, and rice grains almost came out of her nose.
"Slow down." Lu Jingcheng couldn't help but pat her on the back, the affection in his voice almost overflowing, "No one is competing with you for it."
His palms were warm and strong, and every tap made Li Luo's heart beat faster.
There were whistles and boos all around.
Li Luo's face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out, and he wished he could bury his entire face in the bowl of porridge.
But Lu Jingcheng's arms tightened a little, holding her tightly in his arms.
He never cared about other people's eyes, and at this moment he didn't even glance at his teammates who were cheering around him. He just focused on looking at the girl in his arms whose ears were red with embarrassment.
"What? Are you shy now?" He lowered his voice very low, with a bit of amusing helplessness, and gently flicked her hot earlobe with his fingertips.
The people who were usually amused by her to no end seemed to be particularly at ease at this moment.
Li Luo stepped on him under the table, but the force was so light that it felt like a cat scratching a person.
Lu Jingcheng didn't even frown, but instead laughed softly, with a slight vibration in his chest.
Those eyes that were always calm and composed were now filled with tenderness, so focused that it seemed as if she was the only one worth paying attention to in the whole world.
He has never been a flamboyant person, and his intimate behavior at this moment was not to show off, but simply because he was proud of her from the bottom of his heart.
It's like a lighthouse standing alone in the eternal night. It doesn't care whether anyone sees its light or not. It just keeps on shining stubbornly, guiding the way for those who are worthy.
