"Master Shen, you've worked hard. Master Shen, you serve the people. Master Shen, you should be honored. Master Shen, you should not expect any reciprocation."
Shen Chi became impatient and interrupted her, pointing at his own face, "Kiss me."
"Hooligan!"
"No kiss?"
Xu Chaomu shook her tiny head like a rattle drum, "No kiss!"
"Then I'll kiss you."
Having said that, Shen Chi lowered his head and pressed a kiss onto her right cheek.
Not too light, not too heavy, just perfect.
Xu Chaomu felt like crying but had no tears; the line seemed a bit familiar.
She remembered the first time she met Shen Chi, when she stretched out her arms for a hug.
"Big brother, huh? Big brother, give me a hug."
Back then, she shamelessly stretched out her arms. She rubbed the young man's arm, wrapped around his waist, and looked up at him with a smile.
"No hug!" He had a dark expression on his face at the time.
"No hug?"
"No hug!"
"Then I'll hug you!"
