Chapter 166: Chapter 166: A Strong Sense of Happiness (3)

"I’m so tired! I’ll go upstairs and continue sleeping." Mi Jing quickly turned around, trying to sneak away, but no matter how fast she was, Shen Lingxing was faster. She hadn’t even taken a step when he grabbed her by the collar.

"Wait a bit longer before you sleep." Shen Lingxing’s attitude was somewhat firm.

"Fine, I’ll go outside and watch TV."

Unable to escape Shen Lingxing’s clutches, Mi Jing had to temporarily yield. She walked out of the living room, stuffed the DVD into the player, and started watching a Korean drama.

The attraction of Korean dramas mostly lies in the abundance of handsome men and beautiful women. However, Korean dramas are often quite melodramatic, so Mi Jing didn’t watch many of them. For some reason, she suddenly got the urge to rewatch "Full House" from the beginning.

Maybe because she had already seen it before and remembered most of the plot, Mi Jing found it less fresh. Plus, she was keeping an alert eye on Shen Lingxing’s movements, so she wasn’t really paying attention to the cheerful scenes on the TV.

"Shen Lingxing, I don’t want to drink Chinese medicine!" Seeing Shen Lingxing coming over with a steaming teapot, Mi Jing immediately pinched her nose in protest.

"This is not Chinese medicine, it’s calming tea." Shen Lingxing placed the teapot on the table and explained.

"Stop lying to me. You just said it was Chinese medicine!" From childhood, the very smell of Chinese medicine made Mi Jing feel nauseous. So even though she hadn’t yet smelled the "calming tea," she was still pinching her nose, making her voice sound muffled.

"It is Chinese medicine, but it’s also tea. It won’t be bitter." Shen Lingxing patiently continued explaining.

Who are you kidding? Since when is Chinese medicine not bitter?

It’s undeniable that Mi Jing’s knowledge in this area was somewhat shallow, but her mother, Fang Qingru, occasionally drank Chinese medicine for health reasons. So to Mi Jing, Chinese medicine equated to three characteristics: black, bitter, and foul-smelling. In her view, Chinese medicine is one of the most unpleasant things in the world! Therefore, whenever she was sick, she would rather get an injection than drink Chinese medicine.

"Even if it’s not bitter, I’m not drinking it!" Mi Jing’s attitude was firm, wary of falling for his trick.

"Honey, if you continue to be stubborn, do you want me to feed it to you myself?" Shen Lingxing, ever patient, sat down next to Mi Jing with a smile. Seeing the playful look on his handsome face, Mi Jing immediately tensed up, feeling a sense of danger.

"Of course not." Mi Jing, still pinching her nose, tried to back away. But Shen Lingxing’s arms were long, and with one quick move, he pulled her back and easily placed her on his lap.

Though Mi Jing wasn’t short, in front of Shen Lingxing’s tall frame, she seemed petite. Being held tightly, she could hardly move!

"Let go of your hand." Shen Lingxing urged gently.

"No, I can’t stand the smell of Chinese medicine." Mi Jing stubbornly protested.

But Shen Lingxing seemed not to care. He picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of tea.

Hmm?

The tea made from Chinese medicine was neither black nor dark brown!

Looking at the yellow-green liquid in the clear glass, the bright color, resembling tea leaves, made Mi Jing’s clear eyes fill with surprise and curiosity.

"Want to give it a try?" Noticing the curiosity in Mi Jing’s eyes, Shen Lingxing smiled and asked.

"No." Mi Jing still refused, frowning as she said, "I’m not even sick, there’s no need to drink this."

This woman...

Sometimes she could be really stubborn!

After repeatedly asking and being denied, Shen Lingxing took a sip of the tea himself and resorted to drastic measures.

Forcibly removing her hand from her nose, Shen Lingxing leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, forcefully pouring the tea from his mouth into hers.

After the kiss, without needing any reminder from Shen Lingxing, Mi Jing obediently picked up the cup and drank the calming tea he had especially prepared for her.

It was true, it wasn’t bitter and was quite delicious!

The following time was spent quietly watching TV. Initially, Mi Jing had invited Shen Lingxing to watch "Full House" with her, and he reluctantly agreed. Although he had no interest in such soap operas, considering that Mi Jing had just been scared by a nightmare, he decided not to dampen her enthusiasm after thinking for a few seconds.

However, hearing Mi Jing repeatedly praise the male lead for being cute and handsome, Shen Lingxing couldn’t stand it. He gradually felt an inexplicable discomfort growing inside him. After holding it in for a while, he eventually couldn’t contain it and asked, "Honey, are you trying to tell me that you’ve fallen for someone else?"

How could she have fallen for someone else?

It was just watching TV, did he need to take it so seriously?

After some internal grumbling, Mi Jing saw the serious expression on Shen Lingxing’s handsome face getting more severe and rolled her eyes helplessly. Then she said, "We women like the male leads in TV shows, but it’s not that we truly like the person. We like the character they play. If we go deeper, it’s that we hope for this kind of love. We hope to have a man like the male lead, who is both handsome and talented, to love us, to create romantic moments together, and to experience the beauty of love, wishing to be immersed in happiness like the female lead."

"You like romance too?" Shen Lingxing asked.

"Every woman likes romance, of course I’m no exception! But... there is one exception."

"What exception?"

"I don’t like public proposals, so you absolutely can’t propose to me in front of a crowd. Otherwise, I won’t marry you, and I’ll definitely make you lose face!" Mi Jing said with a chuckle, jokingly.

But Shen Lingxing became more and more serious, sounding very cautious, "Why?"

"Maybe I’m just picky." Mi Jing playfully blinked and said frankly, "Watching others propose publicly feels romantic, but thinking about being in that situation myself, I just feel embarrassed, as if I were acting for others to see, with people I know or don’t know cheering pointlessly."

After hearing Mi Jing’s explanation, Shen Lingxing fell silent. Seeing that he stopped talking, Mi Jing turned her attention back to the TV screen, only to realize that Shen Lingxing was watching it even more intently than she was!

How long had it been?

Was this really such a magical show that it instantly captivated Shen Lingxing? Or did the female lead, Qiao, perfectly match his aesthetic taste and win him over?

Alright! She was a very generous person. A fictional character, a woman far, far away. Even if Shen Lingxing really appreciated her, she decided not to mind.
