Over on the other end, He Jiayu's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze. He was even in the mood to make a joke of it. "If I didn't come, who would you have paired up with?"
Su Xiaomo realized then that Mr. He was jealous…
"Ahem, dear Cutie, it's quite windy today, isn't it? Gosh, I can't hear you over the noise!"
He Jiayu went on smiling. "Is it?"
He bit Su Xiaomo's earlobe, and repeated his question in a husky voice. "How about now? Can you hear me like this?"
Su Xiaomo was speechless. Damn it! You're not playing by the book!
"If you weren't here, I – I'd pair up with Xiaxia!" Su Xiaomo said with a straight face.
He Jiayu found that an acceptable answer. "Good girl. It'll take us a while to get there. Use my shoulder and get some rest."
"Sure!" Su Xiaomo snuggled into his arms comfortably and happily fell asleep.
