Paranoid Trap

She clung to her handbag and her great joy expanded rapidly.

As soon as she was in a good mood, she wanted to eat spicy rice strips. She took out the spicy rice strips packed in her bag and was about to tear open the package. But she stopped.

It was not good to eat in someone else car. Before she put the spicy rice strips back, Jing Xian suddenly said, “Eat, don’t worry.”

Her eyes lit up and she opened the package and then send it in his direction, “Do you eat?”

He looked at the spicy rice cake in her hand with some difficulty.

“Don’t you want to eat? It’s very delicious!” Nian Gao vowed to give many of the snacks. Because of his bright smile, she could see his dimples perfectly.

Jing Xian lowered his head and look at her.

He’s asking me to feed him?

Nian Gao was surprised, but she soon figured it out. He was holding the steering wheel with both of his hands and didn’t have any spare hands to take the snack.

Even if there was traffic and the car didn’t move, he still need to hold the steering wheel so that he can move forward at any time.

She held up the spicy rice cake and was embarrassed at thought of the intimately feeding him.

“It’s delicious,” he said after eating.

It was a success. Excited, Nian Gao took out the remaining two bags from her bag, like a treasure, “if you like to it, I’ll give you the rest.”

“Thank you,” he smiled.

The sweetness filled her heart, and Nian Gao struggled to suppress the the corner of her mouth from going up.

When she got home, she put herself into the quilt immediately and rolled around uncontrollably.

He has no girlfriend.

Never had a girlfriend.

She laughed foolishly.

Then, her smile continued to grow.

Although he doesn’t have a girlfriend now, it doesn’t mean he won’t have one in the future. She has to catch him before that.

Nian Gao with zero love experience, is now going up to the moon because she found love.

At the same time, Jing Xian stared at the two packets of spicy strips on the tea table, and suddenly recalled Nian Gao carefully holding the spicy rice cake strips in front of him.

In a moment of silence, he tore open the package.

……

“Gao, that’s what you wear?” her mother was surprised to see that Nian Gao was not wearing a thick coat as usual.

Nian Gao turned her back to her mother and changed her shoes in the porch. She replied, “It’s not that very cold today.”

This is strange. This is not what her daughter usually does.

Gao is afraid of the cold, more than anyone in the family. Even on a day when ordinary people feel less cold, she would want to wrap herself inside the quilt when she goes outside.

Why is she unusual today?

“Really don’t need to wear more?” Mother Nian thinks that she was really suspicious.

“I’m not cold.” Nian Gao went out without looking back at her.

Her mother frowned, “this child…”

Out from the apartment building, Nian Gao shivered with cold.

She wanted to run home and put on the warm coat, but at the thought of her body like a ball of cotton, the idea of running home immediately died down.

Once upon a time, she was confused why others wear short skirts in winter for beauty. Now she can understand their reason.

She doesn’t have the courage to wear a short skirt, but she can dress less bulky and make herself look thinner.

She stretched the sleeves of her clothes to hide her hands and hurried to the gym.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the gym, she was told that Jing Xian didn’t come to the gym today.

“Why didn’t he come?” asked Nian Gao.

“Sick Leave.”

“What!” Nian Gao was shocked, and then a series of questions were thrown out, “What’s wrong? Is it serious? Is he all right?”

“The specific situation is not very clear.”

Nian Gao bit her lip. “Do you know which hospital he is in?”

“I don’t know.”
