143 Compromising Position

The weather was sunny, with fluffy clouds floating in the sky and people wearing flip-flops strolling around the park, which was located at the east of Beijing.

The shouts and screams coming from the carnival drifted with the breeze, which gently swayed the drooping leaves of the willow trees lining the walkway path. Two people riding their bicycles scattered the birds pecking on the pavement as their wheels rushed by, creating a lovely atmosphere.

The girl on the leading bicycle was wearing a white shirt and denim jumper shorts, her hair tied into a half up messy bun. A cherry blossom hairpin dangled from the side, giving her a charming appearance.

The man following behind her wore a simple plaid shirt and cotton shorts, strenuously pedaling to catch up.

Sweat trickled down from his temples as he cried out pitifully, "Wifey..."

Hui Yin ignored him.

She had been so excited to spend the whole day with the two little buns, only for this man to arrive and say that he had forgotten to bring them along.

So who was going to eat her basket full of desserts then? Him? Thinking of the two little buns that had been robbed of their food, Hui Yin pursed her lips and her bike went faster.

Jiang Xu looked at the angry female in front of him and sighed helplessly. Of course, he had not 'forgotten'. But he wanted this day to be only about the two of them, and those two brats would definitely try to hog all of her attention.

He watched her hair flutter behind her, showing the soft white skin of her nape and the sunlight that made her seem as if she was shimmering. Jiang Xu was so absorbed staring at her that he didn't realize his bike had swerved sideways and hit the curb until he tumbled across the grass. There was a searing pain on his knees, and Jiang Xu let out a groan.

"Jiang Xu! Are you alright?

Hui Yin had heard a small thump behind her and abruptly braked, only to see Jiang Xu with scraped knees lying like a dying man on the grass. Three black lines momentarily appeared on Hui Yin's forehead.

His two four year-old brothers didn't come, but here was a bigger baby than the two of them combined...

She jumped off her bike and walked towards him.

"It's just a scrape. Don't cry." Her voice had no sympathy in it all, even as she leaned over him and studied his bleeding knees with a stern expression.

"Wifey..."

Jiang Xu eyes became round and his lower lip quivered. Hui Yin thought that he looked a bit like a kitten that had been abandoned in the pouring rain. Her heart softened.

"Fine, I'll buy band-aids and apply some ointment. Can you stand?"

She offered him her hand, and Jiang Xu grabbed it. But Hui Yin didn't expect for his body to be so heavy and lost her balance, falling on top of him.

"Oof!"

The two of them cried out in surprise at the same time, and Jiang Xu tensed when he felt the soft and fragrant body inside his arms. He lay on the ground, not wanting to move.

Hui Yin opened her eyes. They were both trapped in a compromising position, so she raised herself on her elbows and glanced up. Coincidentally, Jiang Xu also lowered his gaze and their eyes met.

Hui Yin had never seen him up close before. Their lips were only inches apart, and their breaths mingled in the air between them. Her heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Xu's eyes darkened.

"Wifey..."
