Chapter 138

Huo Jingcheng's lips curled into a smile. It was clear he was in a very good mood. He raised his hand to take the book from Su Ruoyun's hand again, pulled her over decisively, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and continued to laugh.

The low laughter and warm breath sprayed onto her small collarbone, causing Su Ruoyun to shrink her shoulders and dodge backward.

Su Ruoyun sat astride his lap, the two facing each other. She naturally raised her hand to touch his hair. The touch wasn't as smooth as her own; his short hair had a rough texture, feeling slightly prickly to the touch.

"You... calm down." Seeing Huo Jingcheng laughing non-stop, she said cautiously: "Don't go crazy."

Rather than Su Ruoyun leaning in Huo Jingcheng's arms, it was more like Huo Jingcheng was like a large dog, relying on Su Ruoyun's arms.

Huo Jingcheng held her very tightly. Su Ruoyun couldn't break free, so she simply rested her chin on his head, threw her phone to the side, and closed her eyes lazily.

About half an hour later, Su Ruoyun felt the silence in her arms. She tentatively looked down, only to see the man in her arms with his eyelids drooping, his long, curled lashes like a long fan, casting a faint shadow over his deep, well-defined brows and eyes.

Why did a man have such long eyelashes?

While Su Ruoyun was secretly slandering in her heart, she moved her hand gently to pick up the phone on the armrest and check the time. It was still early, only 8:30.

After putting the phone down, she cast her gaze back to Huo Jingcheng's face.

The light spilled onto his flawless handsome face, the bangs on his forehead drooping slightly, without any aggression, and the sharpness in his bone structure softened.

Su Ruoyun slowly raised her hand, her fair, slender fingertips brushing over his hair tips, trying to tidy up the few slightly messy bangs for him. Huo Jingcheng, in his sleep, seemed to sense it, grabbed her slender wrist, held her hand in his palm, his eyes still closed, his voice muffled. "Be good, let me rest for a while."

After speaking, he released her hand, turned to hook Su Ruoyun's back, and leaned his whole body against the chair back, their bodies pressed together.

After a few minutes, Su Ruoyun suddenly realized where his fatigue came from. At two o'clock this morning, the doctor had given her an injection, and early this morning, Huo Jingcheng had rushed to work.

Counting it all up, Huo Jingcheng hadn't even slept for five hours.

She didn't wake him up, letting him hold her without moving, holding her phone with one hand, thoughtfully turning the sound to silent mode, fearing that any sound would disturb his rest.

When he opened his eyes again, Huo Jingcheng's vision fell into darkness, and a faint, elegant rose fragrance lingered in his nose, making him feel a sense of inexplicable peace. The body in his arms emitted a fragrance, soft.

Rested, he felt refreshed.

Huo Jingcheng held Su Ruoyun and took two deep sniffs, then felt it wasn't enough, and took two sniffs at her collarbone, leaving a striking red mark. He sighed, his voice unclear: "Why is it so fragrant everywhere?"

Su Ruoyun heard his voice, lowered her head, and met his open black eyes. She hurriedly said: "Let go quickly, my shoulder is cramping."

Huo Jingcheng's large hand lifted, and he hurriedly released the hand around her waist, then moved upward, helping to massage Su Ruoyun's stiff shoulders and neck, rubbing them gently, one after another.

After the tension in her shoulders gradually dissipated, Su Ruoyun propped her hands on his lap and got up, leaving his lap.

When she left, because she hadn't touched the ground for too long, her legs went soft, and she almost fell. Fortunately, Huo Jingcheng was behind her and held her steady in time.

June 25th was the New Moon in Cancer.

She pulled Huo Jingcheng to the balcony to watch the celestial phenomena.

A professional astronomical telescope was placed on the hundred-square-meter spacious terrace, shining with metallic luster in the middle of the night.

Su Ruoyun had learned the specific parameters before, and her hands skillfully turned the scale on the right ascension ring. Jupiter gradually became clear in the telescope's field of vision, as if slowly approaching from the depths of the distant universe.

After taking in the magnificent sight of Saturn through the astronomical telescope, Su Ruoyun carefully adjusted the various parameters. With the precise setting of the parameters, the telescope focused on the celestial region where Cancer was located.

In the deep blue starry sky, Ghost Dormitory Three, Ghost Dormitory Four, and Willow Dormitory Increase Ten were all embedded within it.

She turned to look at Huo Jingcheng, who was sitting on the cloud sofa. "Don't you want to come and see?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng put down his crossed legs, raised his hand, and while walking, unbuttoned his shirt cuffs. The gemstone cufflinks sparkled with brilliant light under the illumination of the light, like exquisite earrings worn by a woman, emitting a unique feeling.

The action of unbuttoning the cuffs was done by him with exceptional grace. His slender fingers flicked lightly, and the cufflinks were easily unbuttoned.

Afterward, he folded his sleeves up a few times, and the watch on his wrist was naturally revealed. The watch face was broad and atmospheric, a deep black.

Huo Jingcheng stuffed the two gemstone cufflinks he had taken off into Su Ruoyun's hand, letting her play with them, while he himself raised his hand to take over the astronomical telescope.

Su Ruoyun played with the pair of gemstone cufflinks in her hand from time to time.

After watching the stars, it was already late.

Sitting in the living room, Su Ruoyun couldn't help but issue an eviction order: "It's getting late, shouldn't you be leaving?"

"What, is it time to sleep?" Huo Jingcheng feigned ignorance, looking completely serious.

"..." Su Ruoyun.

Huo Jingcheng made up his mind not to leave, and Su Ruoyun had no choice but to give up.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawned, found a T-shirt he hadn't worn in the walk-in closet, threw it to Huo Jingcheng, and then turned around on her own, walked into the bathroom, and prepared to wash up.

When she stepped on the floor mat, Huo Jingcheng in the bedroom asked her if she had a charger.

"In the nightstand drawer, get it yourself."

When she finished washing up and came out, she saw Huo Jingcheng leaning on the sofa chair next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The window was opened halfway, and the breeze blew the thin gauze curtains, forming waves. A cigarette was clamped between his slender, distinct fingers, his gaze falling on the scenery outside the window, a faint smile in his eyes.

Huo Jingcheng flicked the ash into the ashtray, the blue-white ash falling into the ashtray, his tone full of playfulness: "So, you liked me so early?"

Su Ruoyun, sitting in front of the vanity, paused in her skincare routine, looking over in confusion.

Huo Jingcheng turned his head, lifted his chin slightly, and pointed to the half-open drawer, signaling Su Ruoyun to look.

Su Ruoyun followed his gaze and looked over, only to see a piano lacquer black box placed in the half-open drawer.

She froze for a moment, and it took a long time for her to react.

It was the time at the auction when Huo Jingcheng put the bracelet on her. After he left, she went into the auction venue again and bought that pair of diamond cufflinks.
