Chapter 118 The Girl's First Kiss
Chapter 118 The Girl's First Kiss
Lin Xiaowen's words sounded like a complaint, but her tone was more like a coquettish plea, and her eyes were glistening with tears. Looking at her like this, Lin Feng felt a ticklish sensation in his heart, as if a feather had brushed against it.
"My fault, my fault." He apologized with a smile, but it was completely insincere; his eyes were full of triumphant laughter. "Still slippery?"
"Slippery!" Lin Xiaowen said defiantly, but she gripped his arm even tighter and moved closer to him.
After playing for a while, Lin Xiaowen was finally able to move slowly while holding onto the railing. Although her posture was still clumsy, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
As they left the skating rink, their hands naturally clasped together again. Lin Xiaowen's face was still flushed, and her palms were sweaty, yet she couldn't bear to let go.
"Are you tired? Let's go see a movie and rest," Lin Feng suggested.
"Okay!" Lin Xiaowen nodded, feeling as if that fall had erased the last bit of subtle distance between them, leaving only the sweet intimacy.
They arrived at the cinema located on the fifth floor.
I bought a ticket for the latest showing of "New Police Story" and went into the theater with popcorn and a Coke.
The movie is excellent. Jackie Chan's signature action comedy, Nicholas Tse's passion, and Daniel Wu's portrayal of the charismatic villain Kwan Cho all leave a deep impression.
In particular, Lin Xiaowen found the criminal gang led by Guan Zu, who treated hunting down police officers like an online game, fascinating with their cold-blooded and neurotic madness.
In the tense moment, she subconsciously moved closer to Lin Feng. When she saw Ah Zu finally fall down after being shot in front of her father, she sighed softly.
"That Ah Zu is both wicked and pitiful." As the lights came on after the show, she took Lin Feng's arm and walked out, unable to resist discussing it.
"Yeah, family problems, psychological distortion, went to extremes," Lin Feng commented. "But his idea of turning crime into a live-streamed online game was quite ahead of its time."
He thought of some even more outrageous cases that would follow in later generations.
"Being a police officer is really not easy," Lin Xiaowen sighed, then tightened her grip on Lin Feng's arm and looked up at him. "You should also be careful."
Lin Feng smiled and squeezed her hand.
After watching the movie, it was already afternoon, and the two of them were a little hungry, so they found a restaurant in the mall and had lunch.
After finishing our meal, we began to leisurely stroll around the streets.
MixC Mall has many shops, many of which are brands that Lin Xiaowen has never heard of but look very high-end.
She was overwhelmed by the sights, but mostly just looked and didn't buy anything.
Until she passed by a women's clothing store with a simple and elegant style, a champagne-colored silk dress in the window caught her eye.
The dress has a simple design, but the cut is excellent, the texture is superb, and it gleams softly under the light.
Lin Feng followed her gaze and pulled her inside.
"Try it on," he said to the shop assistant, pointing to the dress.
"This must be very expensive..." Lin Xiaowen hesitated when she saw the luxurious decorations inside the store.
"Let's give it a try first," Lin Feng said without further ado.
The shop assistant quickly fetched the right size. Lin Xiaowen went into the fitting room.
Shortly after, the fitting room door opened.
Lin Feng looked up and his eyes lit up.
The champagne-colored dress fit Lin Xiaowen's figure perfectly, outlining her slender and graceful waistline. The hem of the dress reached just below her knees, revealing her long, slender, and fair legs.
The silk fabric draped smoothly, shimmering as she moved, highlighting her long neck and jade-like skin.
Her long hair, which she usually tied up, was now flowing smoothly over her shoulders. With a hint of shyness on her face, she looked up at Lin Feng, her eyes sparkling with a breathtaking beauty.
Her tall figure perfectly complemented the dress, making her look elegant, gentle, and with an alluring charm of a young woman in her prime.
Lin Feng unconsciously made a swallowing motion.
He knew Lin Xiaowen was beautiful and had a great figure. But at this moment, he was still struck hard. The shop assistant was praising her repeatedly, but he barely heard her.
"Is it...good-looking?" Lin Xiaowen felt a little embarrassed by his direct gaze and asked him softly.
"Beautiful." Lin Feng stepped forward, his gaze still fixed on her, making no attempt to hide his admiration.
"It's really beautiful!"
Lin Xiaowen's face turned even redder. She turned around in front of the mirror, looking left and right, her eyes filled with undisguised affection and a touch of allure.
"If you like it, buy it and wear it."
Lin Xiaowen asked the shop assistant, "How much is this dress?"
The number the shop assistant quoted almost made her jaw drop!
"Beautiful lady, this dress is a new style and there's no discount. The price is 7680 yuan!"
"Why is it so expensive...it's almost two months' salary for me."
As she spoke, she frantically tried to pull the zipper on the side of her skirt, as if the thin, silky fabric had suddenly become scalding hot.
"Hurry up and untie me, I don't want to try anymore..." she said anxiously, her voice filled with intense unease.
It cost over seven thousand yuan; she had never seen such an expensive dress before.
The sales clerk's professional smile faltered slightly, and she explained gently, "Miss, this is made of real silk, imported fabric. The design and craftsmanship were done by Hong Kong tailors. The price is actually very reasonable and suits your style perfectly..."
"No, no, it's too expensive." Lin Xiaowen wouldn't listen at all and just kept shaking her head.
Lin Feng, standing to the side, had already taken out his wallet, pulled out his bank card, and looked at the clerk: "Where do I swipe my card?"
"Sir, please swipe your card at this cashier."
Afterwards, the shop assistant led Lin Feng to the cashier.
Lin Feng swiped his card, entered his PIN, and signed—his movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation. Then he instructed the clerk:
"Cut off the price tag on her dress; she's wearing it now. Wrap up the original clothes."
"Brother Feng!" Lin Xiaowen cried out anxiously, trying to grab his arm, her face flushed red. "Really, no, this is too expensive! I can't accept something so expensive!"
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay." Lin Feng grasped her hand, squeezed it slightly, and winked at her. "It's just a dress. If you like it and it looks good on you, then it's worth it. Don't worry about the price; that's not important."
The firmness in his tone calmed some of Lin Xiaowen's panic. But the shock of more than seven thousand yuan was too great; she still felt flustered and felt she couldn't bear it.
The shop assistant looked at them enviously: "Sir, here's your card and receipt. Miss, your clothes are all wrapped up."
The shop assistant handed Lin Xiaowen a bag containing the old clothes and a small paper bag with the brand logo on it, praising her with a smile: "You two are such a perfect match! You look so beautiful in this dress, and your husband is so kind to you."
Lin Xiaowen quickly took the bag, feeling a little embarrassed. Listening to the shop assistant's words, watching Lin Feng calmly put away his wallet, and then looking down at the beautiful dress she was wearing, an unprecedented feeling of joy welled up inside her!
It was the feeling of being pampered by the man she loved. He bought her such an expensive gift without batting an eye.
A lump formed in her throat, and her eyes welled up with tears. She quickly lowered her head, afraid of losing her composure.
"Let's go." Lin Feng took her hand again and led her, still a little dizzy, out of the store.
The two continued walking. Lin Xiaowen felt as if the ground beneath her feet had become softer.
After walking a few steps, Lin Feng's gaze swept over a men's clothing store with a minimalist style next door. A light gray casual jacket on a mannequin in the window caught his attention.
"Let's go check out that store, I'll buy a coat too," he said, leading her over there.
Lin Xiaowen was still excited at the moment, and immediately responded enthusiastically: "Okay! I'll help you choose!" She wished she could do something for him, even if it was just to help with the selection.
The men's clothing in this store looks to be of good quality. Lin Feng took the light gray jacket and went into the fitting room to change.
When he came out, Lin Xiaowen's eyes lit up again.
The well-tailored light gray jacket accentuated his straight shoulders and upright posture, making him look exceptionally refreshing and handsome.
"nice!"
She stepped forward, casually straightened his collar, examined him closely, and sincerely exclaimed, "You look very smart and handsome! The size is perfect, and the color suits your skin tone!"
Lin Xiaowen's eyes sparkled; she pleased him more than any of the shop assistants had said before. Lin Feng looked at himself in the mirror and was also very satisfied.
"This is it." He decided readily, then looked at the smiling sales clerk and said, "I'll take it."
This time, Lin Xiaowen did not raise any objections to the price. She simply stood beside him with a sweet smile and watched him pay the bill readily.
Lin Feng, wearing a new jacket, stood side by side with Lin Feng under the store's bright lights. A shop assistant couldn't help but smile and compliment them, "You two are such a handsome couple, truly enviable!"
This time, Lin Xiaowen didn't shyly lower her head. She accepted the compliment openly and quietly tightened her grip on Lin Feng's hand. Both of them were wearing new clothes and left the shop hand in hand.
Lin Feng carried a bag of old clothes, while Lin Xiaowen held his arm tightly with one hand, nestled beside him.
The champagne-colored skirt swayed gently with her steps, shimmering softly under the mall's dazzling lights, attracting many eyes.
They strolled around the mall for a while, enjoying this rare moment of leisure. Only when night fell and the city lights came on did they take a taxi back to the research institute's dormitory area.
The dormitory area was quiet at night, with only the dim yellow light of the streetlights. Reaching the second building, Lin Xiaowen stopped and turned around.
The excitement and noise of a whole day of playing gradually subsided, and the tranquility at this moment allowed a certain emotion to ferment even more intensely.
Looking at Lin Feng's features, which were particularly clear under the light, she whispered, "Today... I'm especially happy. Thank you."
"Nonsense," Lin Feng raised his hand and gently brushed her hair behind her ear with the back of his fingers. "No need to thank me. Your happiness is my happiness."
Perhaps it was the beauty of the night, or perhaps it was the person before her that made her unable to control her emotions.
Lin Xiaowen suddenly tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Lin Feng's neck, tilted her head back, and pressed her soft lips to his.
The moment their lips touched, Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, then a wave of tenderness overwhelmed him.
He tightened his arms around her waist, pulling her soft body deeper into his embrace, lowering his head to respond, and quickly taking the initiative to deepen the kiss.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, their breaths mingling.
Lin Xiaowen could clearly feel the heat of his lips and tongue. An unprecedented thrill and tingling sensation spread from their joined lips to her entire body, making her body slightly weak, and she could only cling to him even tighter.
The night breeze blew by, but it couldn't dispel the rapidly rising temperature in this small space.
At this moment, it seems as if only each other exists in the world.
The kiss lasted a long time, until Lin Xiaowen felt a little breathless, and then she gently lowered her head.
"This is my first kiss..." Lin Xiaowen said softly, then pressed her head against Lin Feng's chest.
