Because I Cannot Hurt You

Xiaosi wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her body against his. Tracing his hand towards the back of her neck, he leaned and nipped his teeth on her lower lip. His tongue tracked the curve of her pink lips, wishing to delve deeper.

Caihong was stupefied at first but then a wide grin stretched her cheeks. She happily opened her mouth and gave him access. She moaned with his hands possessively wandering on her back and clutching her waist tighter. In response, she pulled his coat and deepened their wet kiss.

A couple passed by, and even they couldn't help but feel embarrassed witnessing such a passionate kiss. They lowered their heads and swiftly escaped.

Xiaosi and Caihong didn't realize when or how many people passed by. The only thing they cared about was this feeling that gushed into their hearts of their true reunion.

Xiaosi slowly parted away, his glassy gaze watching her deeply. "Don't kiss someone else…"

Caihong smirked. "Of course not. Now that you stopped me in time, how can I ever glance at anybody else?"

She cupped his face and tiptoed to place a gentle kiss on his lips. "My husband is so silly, but he is so cute. You finally showed me your jealousy."

His cheeks turned pink, and he looked away. "T-there is nothing so exciting about it…"

She rolled her eyes. "It is a big deal. I appreciate that you respect me so much. But sometimes…" she grinned. "I wish to see your possessive side too. And now I feel it. That I am only yours."

Xiaosi cleared his throat.

She pinched and squished his cheeks. "Well, you certainly stopped me from leaving, but I am still mad at you for ignoring me all this time. I am gonna make you compensate a lot. A lot of shopping, a lot of dates and a lot of making out-"

He coughed hard. "I-I understand!"

Caihong burst into laughter. "Geez. I never knew you were so shy like a maiden. I wonder who is the husband between us?"

Xiaosi raised his brow at that. "Don't worry. I can prove that to you-"

"Okay, okay stop!"

Shuang popped out from behind a pillar covering her ears. "Aish so much adult talk. My ears!"

Xiaosi choked. "You were hiding all this time?"

"Duh! Who wouldn't? It seemed so interesting. I am always there wherever drama is. Plus, I was waiting to see if Caihong would push you down and you know? Tch Caihong."

She rolled her eyes.

His gaze darkened. "Jack! Are you also there!?"

Silence.

"Oh, come on!" Shuang dragged him out of his place. Jack Si coughed and grinned. "Hey."

Xiaosi's mouth twitched.

Shuang chuckled. "Wow, Mr. Zhu. That was some passionate kiss~" She elbowed Jack Si. "Did you watch the couple run with their tail in between their legs? Hahaha! That was so hilarious!"

Xiaosi widened his eyes. He suddenly realized that he was at a public place. "S-Somebody saw us kissing?"

Jack Si whistled. "Yeah but you two were so lost that…"

Caihong waved her hand. "Who cares? I saw at least five couples openly make out before Xiaosi came."

He coughed hard.

Shuang suddenly punched him in the chest, knocking a considerable amount of air out of him. "Hey!"

It wasn't wise to underestimate Shuang's martial arts.

She then twisted his ear. "Don't hey me! You were acting selfish this whole trying to leave your super beautiful wife and daughter! You were about to break their hearts, so you deserve a lot of beating."

Caihong agreed and nodded.

Xiaosi pursed his lips. "You are right. You can punch all you want. I was being a jerk."

Shuang beamed. "Oh so I can hit you more? Cool!"

Caihong pulled her back. "Hey, don't get too excited. He is still my husband," she pouted. "Don't beat him too much. As for his punishment, I will thoroughly take care of it."

Jack Si complained. "Okay, now that you two lovebirds have united, can we please, for God's sake, stuff our stomachs with food? I am damn hungry!"

Xiaosi grimaced. "When are you not hungry!? You were just munching on chips an hour ago!"

"That is not dinner!"

He shook his head. "You know? You don't need a wife. You need a chef to marry."

Jack Si touched his chin. "Aww, you know me so well. Let me hug my best friend~"

"Ew! Stay away from me!" ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

"Don't say it like that. Our relationship goes even deeper than what you and sister-in-law have~"

His ambiguous words perked up Caihong. "Ohh, really? Like you two were…?"

"Of course not!" Xiaosi exclaimed in horror. "Why will I have that sort of a relationship with him? Jack, shut your mouth or I will zip it forever!"

Shuang clutched her stomach and rolled in laughter. "Oh God. I never knew Caihong would have a guy rival."

Jack Si winked. "Beware sister-in-law. I might just snatch Xiaosi from you. Also, Chyou darling pretty much loves me, so it won't be difficult to get her favor~"

Xiaosi's face darkened. He kicked him in the knee. "You get too crazy when you are hungry."

He grabbed his collar and dragged him. "Let's go before you spout any more nonsense and I kill you!"

—

Xiaosi was deadly tired as they returned home. Back at the pub, Jack Si didn't leave any chance to flirt with him purposely to egg him on. Caihong and Shuang had a lot of fun at his expense.

Caihong chuckled. "Come on. It was fun~"

His mouth twitched. "How would you feel if Shuang or Ah Cy did that to you?"

She touched her chin in deep thought. "It would be a novel experience."

"..."

"Mama! Dada!" Chyou trotted towards them, happiness gleaming in her eyes.

Caihong picked her up and kissed her cheek. "Aww, were you waiting for us?"

She nodded and complained. "You were late!"

"It's all your Dada's fault. He was being mean and wanted to leave us because he thought he was not a good man," she pouted.

Xiaosi panicked. "N-No…I mean…that's not…"

Chyou frowned and stared at her father. "Dada is so silly!"
