Endless Fall

83 She Had Never Kissed

Hearing this, Qu Shao started bickering with him again.

They bickered all the way to the door and only stopped when they saw passersby looking at them with strange gazes. “Boss, where are we going next?”

“The Eiffel Tower.”

Pei Zhi held Lin Jiao’s hand and looked at the building in the square. “Let’s look around before going to the Seine to catch a boat.”

“Alright.” Qu Shao pulled Ven Olle and quickened the pace to keep a distance from Pei Zhi and Lin Jiao.

Lin Jiao looked around at the shops. Occasionally, when she saw some new and interesting stores, she would pull Pei Zhi in to shop.

“Uncle, which color looks good?” She tried on the sapphire and burgundy berets and asked him with difficulty.

“They both look good on you.”

Pei Zhi pushed aside the hair at her temple.

He picked up another purple one and put it on her head, studying it carefully. “Your skin is fair, so all the colors will look good on you.”

“The more you say that, the more conflicted I feel.” Lin Jiao looked at herself in the mirror, unable to decide.

At this moment, Pei Zhi walked to the cashier and bought all three.

He stood behind her with the bag and brushed his right hand across her shoulder. “Now, you won’t feel conflicted.”

Lin Jiao suddenly smiled.

She followed him out and gradually got used to his hand gently placed on her wrist.

When they arrived at Champ de Mars, the tower built with simple structure came into sight.

“The Eiffel Tower was built on January 26, 1887.” The tour guide, Ven Olle, stammered about the history of the tower.

After a brief introduction, he found a spot facing the tower. “Come, I’ll help you take two photos.”

Qu Shao sensibly stepped aside.

He tilted his head to look at the two of them on the screen.

With the warm sun casting its ray of lights on their side profiles and a genuine smile on their faces, they looked like a couple in love, envied by everyone who passed by.

Ven Olle felt the same with Qu Shao.

If not for the fact that he knew they were not a couple, he would definitely make them kiss with their backs facing the tower to create the atmosphere he wanted.

“Done.” He walked forward to show them the photos.

“Let’s take a few photos together.” Lin Jiao asked the blonde auntie passing by to help her capture this beautiful moment.

They continued along the path and walked to the edge of the Seine, mesmerized by the fragrance and music.

“I suddenly thought of a song.” Qu Shao looked at sparkling water on the river.

He hummed it out. “Coffee on the left bank of the Seine. I’ll taste your beauty in one cup.”

“A mouth with lipstick marks.” Lin Jiao pointed at the lipstick marks on the edge of the milk tea cup, feeling that it was especially fitting.

However, she was not drinking coffee.

Pei Zhi stared at her smile and said in a gentle voice, “You said that you’re a little difficult to woo and wanted me to give up.”

Lin Jiao didn’t capture the emotions in his eyes.

She subconsciously continued with the lyrics, “You don’t have to give me an expensive gift. Just the fallen leaves will do…”

“Your eyes are saying that you are willing.” Qu Shao dragged out the last word, thinking that he had sung it perfectly.

As he flicked his tongue, he raised his chin in Ven Olle’s direction. “Have you heard this song?”

“What’s the name of the song?”

“Confession Balloon.”

“No.” Feeling that this song wasn’t too bad, Ven Olle said, “Will you teach me how to sing tonight?”

“No problem.” Qu Shao was extremely confident.

He started humming again, looking like he was a singer in a concert with thousands of fans down the stage. His facial and eye expressions were exaggerated.

“Uncle.” Lin Jiao tugged at Pei Zhi’s sleeve. When he lowered his head, she said, “Brother Qu is so funny.”

“He’s always been like this.”

“Why didn’t I notice it before?”

“You haven’t spent enough time with him.” Pei Zhi rubbed the top of her head and led her onto the cruise ship.

They walked to the stern and sat down at a long table. They ordered some food and wine and admired the scenery on the shore.

“Close your eyes, babe,” a magnetic male voice said from the front table.

A blue-eyed man with chestnut hair looked at the girl in his arms affectionately.

“Why?”

“You know why.” Ignoring the gazes of others, he pinched her chin and covered her lips with his.

The affection they displayed in public was like a scorching fire that burned the people sitting nearby.

Lin Jiao bit the straw and blushed.

Not long after she looked away, she couldn’t help but look at them again. The more she looked at them, the more she felt that they were a good match and that they were in deep love.

Seeing that her ears and face were red, Ven Olle, who had yet to grasp the meaning of euphemism in Chinese, asked bluntly, “Have you ever kissed anyone?”

“No.”

“Are you happy?”

“I am.”

This answer stunned Pei Zhi for a moment before joy washed over him.

He suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm as he took two sips of ice cream. “Me too.”

“Unbelievable.”

“What’s there to be surprised about? My first kiss was only taken last year.”

“You have a girlfriend?” Ven Olle really could not imagine Qu Shao in a relationship.

Lin Jiao was also very curious.

“I used to have, but I don’t anymore.” Qu Shao’s tone was calm and composed.

“Why did you break up?”

“She thinks I’m poor.”

This reason was beyond Lin Jiao’s expectations.

She asked, “How much do you earn every month?”

“50,000 yuan without the bonus.” Pei Zhi estimated and answered for Qu Shao, “His annual income is about a million yuan.”

“You call that poor?”

“In her eyes, only billionaires are not poor.”

Qu Shao took out a few cigarettes from his cigarette box and handed them to them. “Fortunately, we separated early. Otherwise, I wouldn’t get over it so quickly.”

“That’s true.” Lin Jiao sucked out the toppings at the bottom of the milk tea cup.

As she chewed the toppings, she saw that the couple at the table on the left started to kiss again. She sighed and said, “They’re too good at expressing their love.”

“I am good at it too.” Ven Olle raised his chin.

He talked about his girlfriend. “I kiss her every day and say ‘I love you’.”

“How mushy!”

“Didn’t you ever say ‘I love you’?”

“No.” Qu Shao could not bring himself to say it. “I only told her that I like her, but not love.”

“When you truly fall in love with someone, you want to say ‘I love you’ and kiss her at any time.”

Ven Olle seemed to be showing off to them. “Kiss feels sweeter than eating candy.”

Pei Zhi, who did not like sweetness, was intrigued.

He rubbed the glass with his fingers and looked at the red lips on Lin Jiao again. He had to find a chance to see how sweet they were.

“Cut it out. Hurry up and introduce this place to us.” Qu Shao pointed at the Statue of Liberty opposite.
