The finger seemed to have a mind of its own, slowly exploring from the shoulder towards the deeper parts. Just a little closer, and it could stroke the most tender skin; a little harder, and it could…
Her breath betrayed her.
But Kuang Qingshang could not betray herself.
The clarity gradually returned to Kuang Qingshang’s eyes.
She withdrew her hand and gave a self-mocking smile.
She didn’t know if everyone misunderstood her or if she was usually too good at disguising herself, but in any case, Zhuang Zhe was completely wrong—she was not disciplined; she couldn’t even control herself.
She had asked three people what kind of person she was. Only Sang Xiao’s answer was absolutely correct because she was indeed very tall, and everything else was an illusion.
In her sleep, Sang Xiao felt a feather tickling her, making her heart itch. When she opened her eyes, she saw Kuang Qingshang standing beside her, looking down at her.
Sang Xiao blinked hard, thinking she was seeing things, otherwise how could Kuang Qingshang possibly be in her room?
Yet, amidst Sang Xiao’s hazy gaze, Kuang Qingshang had already spoken: “Go to the bed to sleep.”
The voice was cold and clear—if not Kuang Qingshang, then who? Before Sang Xiao could even ask how she was in her room, Kuang Qingshang seemed urgent, turned, and left.
Sang Xiao quickly pulled up her shoulder strap and chased after her, only to see Kuang Qingshang enter the gym.
No way. Exercising so late? Wasn’t she afraid of being too excited to sleep at night?
What Sang Xiao didn’t know was that Kuang Qingshang not only went to the gym but also took a cold shower.
Sang Xiao sat back down on the bed. Why would Kuang Qingshang appear in her room for no reason?
She had never been to Kuang Qingshang’s room; the last time was to help her collect her clothes.
Sang Xiao felt terrified. What did Kuang Qingshang come to her room for? Did Kuang Qingshang pull down her shoulder strap? It shouldn’t be, Kuang Qingshang didn’t seem like such a pervert.
Sang Xiao considered herself a relatively rational person. Although she carried a prejudice against Kuang Qingshang, she trusted what she saw with her own eyes more. She went to sleep with her doubts, completely unaware that something far more perverted had already happened.
It was a workday again the next morning, but Sang Xiao’s light green Beetle car was getting fewer and fewer chances to appear because Kuang Qingshang planned to personally drive her to the kindergarten.
Driving a luxury car to work at the kindergarten—this was a path Sang Xiao had never envisioned.
Her Beetle car was very affordable. When Sang Xiao bought it, she liked its low chassis, ease of driving, and the fact that it was small and cute. Among a crowd of similar-looking sedans, her little car was definitely unique, and it also fit her identity as a kindergarten teacher.
But now…
Sang Xiao sighed silently in the car. Why couldn’t she even refuse Kuang Qingshang’s ride? It must be because Kuang Qingshang had given her a gift.
Kuang Qingshang noticed this and asked, “Are you unhappy?”
Sang Xiao shook her head: “No.”
Then she asked, “Are you very free lately?”
Kuang Qingshang’s expression froze for a moment, her brows furrowed. After pondering for a moment to no avail, she turned to look at Sang Xiao, her tone a little aggrieved, “Did I offend you somewhere recently?”
Sang Xiao: “…”
Ah, she was genuinely curious if Kuang Qingshang had been very free lately; she absolutely did not mean to be sarcastic or to dislike Kuang Qingshang. She swore!
It was mainly because Kuang Qingshang had previously said she wanted to introduce a friend to her if she had time, and now she was driving her around, completely lacking the frantic and hurried look she had when she returned last time. This didn’t align with the image of an athlete who was always busy in Sang Xiao’s mind.
Sang Xiao looked at Kuang Qingshang with a sincere face. Did she look like the type to be sarcastic?
Kuang Qingshang quickly realized, and her tone became lighter: “I want to spend more time on family, so I’ve been a little free recently.”
Sang Xiao really wanted to say that she didn’t need Kuang Qingshang to spend extra time on her, but she was afraid of being too self-absorbed, as Kuang Qingshang’s family didn’t only include her.
They drove in silence until they reached the kindergarten gate. Before getting out of the car, Sang Xiao deliberately pulled out a perfectly flat certificate from a folder and handed it to Kuang Qingshang: “This is for you.”
Kuang Qingshang took it and saw that it was a ‘Good Kid’ award certificate.
The certificate was very simple to make; Kuang Qingshang’s name was filled in the blank space that should have contained the names of the Morning Star Kindergarten children. The rest was already printed, and the content was even more straightforward and memorable.
“Little Friend Kuang Qingshang, congratulations on earning the title of ‘Good Kid’ this year. We hope you will continue to be smart and sensible in the future and remain a well-loved good kid.”
Kuang Qingshang: “…”
Sang Xiao’s handwriting was serious, with a kind of cute and naïve feeling in every stroke, which made Kuang Qingshang’s name seem much cuter. Moreover, the three words ‘Good Kid’ were printed very prominently and large on the certificate.
Sang Xiao’s purpose was to annoy Kuang Qingshang a little—who told her to give random gifts? Receiving a gift required giving one back. Sang Xiao hated receiving gifts from unfamiliar people the most, and Kuang Qingshang had asked for this certificate herself last night.
Last night, after Kuang Qingshang left, Sang Xiao had a sudden impulse and wrote one out casually. The cost was very low, but the effect was obvious; it would definitely make Kuang Qingshang embarrassed.
Sang Xiao was ready to run away immediately after enjoying Kuang Qingshang’s embarrassed expression. However, after Kuang Qingshang received the certificate, her face only showed a momentary stiffness, followed by a look of utmost sincerity: “Thank you, Teacher Sang.”
“I will have this certificate framed and keep it safe.”
Sang Xiao: “…”
