Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 57: The Whole World Will Be Envious

In the end, Ai Xin’Er suddenly released her grip on Shen Shi’s arm, but then, her slender arms, usually used only for playing the piano, wrapped around Shen Shi’s neck like a boneless snake, her entire passionate body fully merging into his embrace.

She gazed at Shen Shi, dazed and mesmerized, from such a close distance.

"It’s just, this thought has just changed!" Her tone suddenly intensified, her eyes dreamy, and hot breaths slowly exhaled from her red lips, "Think of me as having an admiration for strong personalities, or as being scheming, whichever, I’ve already wrapped myself around you. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stepping on a multicolored auspicious cloud and showing up before me when I hadn’t forgotten you yet... Shen Shi, I like you... maybe I’ve liked you for a long time already."

Yes, Shen Shi didn’t hear wrong.

Right in this unremarkable restaurant, amidst the noisy clamor, Ai Xin’Er confessed her love.

No flowers, no applause.

Only emotion in its most intense form.

At this moment, Shen Shi felt that in what might have become a very extended life, another moment worth remembering had been added.

Ai Xin’Er’s confession was completely out of character from her usual image.

Neither bold nor intellectual.

But delicate, passionate, and moving.

Even after the confession, she had no intention of relaxing, instead wrapping tighter.

"Will you reject me like you did in my dream?" Her voice became extraordinarily delicate, seeming almost like she was talking to herself, "But even if you reject me, I probably can’t escape..."

"Only a fool would say no." Shen Shi straightforwardly wrapped his arms around her waist and effortlessly pulled her whole body onto his lap, saying lightly, "You’re mine from now on."

Ai Xin’Er only felt a tingling sensation rush from her heart to her spine, then to her neck before bursting into laughter, burying her head into his shoulder, trembling.

"Where did this domineering CEO come from?" She laughed, playfully teasing, even seeming to shed tears of laughter.

"Isn’t that exactly your type?" Shen Shi glanced at her, "If I’d known earlier that you liked this style, I’d have made my move in high school."

"Boast, you wouldn’t have had the guts back then." Ai Xin’Er flirtatiously leaned closer to his ear, breathing softly, "Just by being a little close, you could blush for days."

"Why don’t you check the mirror to see who’s blushing?" Shen Shi remained unmoved, his hand gently shifting.

"Ah." Ai Xin’Er exclaimed, her face turning red as she admitted defeat, "I admit it, you’re the tougher one now."

"No need for your acknowledgment, it’s obvious."

"Stop! Qin Lan is still watching..."

You still know I’m watching!

Qin Lan couldn’t hold back any longer after hearing her name and stood up with a face full of distress.

"I, I’m going to the restroom."

She really didn’t understand why it turned out like this.

She clearly planned to make Sister Xin’Er completely wake up.

But Sister Xin’Er confessed right in front of her!

And snuggled and flirted in front of her.

She couldn’t do anything!

The shock from the information she found online about those two hadn’t even faded, and the man in front of her might really be someone who could open a company on an island!

Well, that was okay.

The key was Sister Xin’Er’s lack of resolve!

Thinking of Sister Xin’Er’s eagerness to embrace and passionate like fire before her, Qin Lan couldn’t help but feel sad, realizing she was no longer the closest person to Sister Xin’Er...

Shen Shi and Ai Xin’Er naturally didn’t know about the scene in Qin Lan’s heart, but when they saw Qin Lan leave in a daze, they looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Including Shen Shi.

Controlling emotions didn’t mean having no feelings; in this atmosphere, he naturally wouldn’t put on an indifferent face.

"Where did you find such a silly friend?" Shen Shi laughed, "Girls like her are rare these days."

"She’s just straightforward by nature." Ai Xin’Er protested slightly, pushing Shen Shi lightly, but couldn’t help but laugh herself.

She gently freed herself from Shen Shi’s embrace, sat beside him, and adjusted her clothes, which weren’t messy, then intimately wrapped around Shen Shi’s arm.

"Maybe in Qin Lan’s eyes, it’s me who’s silly." Her eyes were always reflecting Shen Shi’s face.

"No one would say you’re silly. On the contrary, everyone in the world would envy you." Shen Shi shook his head, then gently wiped the table, magically producing a delicately wrapped red box.

"What’s this?" Ai Xin’Er’s attention was instantly captured.

"A gift," Shen Shi said.

"It’s not a ring, is it?" Ai Xin’Er turned her head, trying to figure something out from Shen Shi’s expression.

"Why don’t you open it and see?" Shen Shi’s expression at this moment was completely unreadable.

"If it’s a ring, you won’t have the chance to regret it." Ai Xin’Er glanced at him, snorted lightly, "I wouldn’t mind resolving a confession, getting a certificate, and getting pregnant in one day."

"..."

Shen Shi naturally heard the teasing, but still looked at her speechlessly.

It’s often said girls often become funny drivers after falling in love.

But this is only after confessing.

It can only be said Ai Xin’Er is indeed different from other girls.

However, despite her seductive words, she visibly tensed when picking up the small box.

Until she opened it.

The dazzling colors reflected into her eyes.

It wasn’t a ring, but a necklace unlike typical gemstone necklaces, with a drop of extraordinarily beautiful red liquid encased in unknown crystals at its center, like flowing crystalline essence, exceptionally stunning.

Ai Xin’Er instantly fell in love with it.

"What is this?" she asked.

"A gift," Shen Shi said.

"I’m asking what kind of gemstone this is." She shot Shen Shi a sideways glance, her eyes extraordinarily charming.

"You don’t need to worry about that." Shen Shi reached for the necklace, its chain as crystalline as ice, parted Ai Xin’Er’s smooth hair, and placed it around her neck himself.

The chain wasn’t short, disappearing into her dress but still adding a touch of captivating color, making Ai Xin’Er even more beautiful.

"Consider this my token of our love; never take it off, no matter what," Shen Shi pinched Ai Xin’Er’s smooth cheek, feigning coolness, "Understood?"

"Mm." Ai Xin’Er responded softly, but soon couldn’t hold back her laughter, thinking Shen Shi’s act was amusing.

She clearly didn’t know.

This necklace was a sort of automated protective device.

Worth an entire murder mystery game!

Showing its technical value, even in future Human Civilization, it could be considered a pretty good personal protection tool.
