Chapter 157

Before Su Ruoyun could look up and glare at him, Huo Jingcheng withdrew his hand in time. He had a roguish smile of success, leaving her with no way to deal with him.

Su Ruoyun felt that every move she made was like a monkey walking on a high, thin steel wire, every step~ thrilling.

And every move Huo Jingcheng made indicated that their relationship was not shallow.

Making her even more like walking on thin ice, trembling with fear.

Su Ruoyun handed the exquisite paper bag with the tea jar inside to Huo Jingcheng with both hands, her tone neither cold nor hot, smiling without warmth: "Mr. Huo, take it well."

Huo Jingcheng heard the thick meaning of warning contained in her words, his thin lips curling into a faint smile, ending up gentle and polite: "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Su."

Refined scum, Su Ruoyun cursed in her heart, a barely audible cold hum escaping her throat.

The girl's face was exquisite and beautiful, a pair of round apricot eyes staring straight at him, shedding the cute look of staring at people in the past, even rolling her eyes as if she were acting like a spoiled child.

Huo Jingcheng achieved the goal of teasing her, carrying the handbag, and left with satisfaction.

When leaving, he specifically "sent autumn waves," his bewitching peach-blossom eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned, very seductive.

Su Ruoyun rolled her eyes at him again in annoyance, but the moment Su Mingyan's gaze swept over inadvertently, she immediately put on a sweet face.

The change was so fast that Huo Jingcheng's lips curled, a trace of laughter rising in his eyes, then he stepped over the threshold unhurriedly and walked out.

Su Ruoyun's gaze followed Huo Jingcheng's figure as he moved in the front courtyard, and only when his figure disappeared did she unload the string that had been tight in her heart, turning her gaze to Su Mingyan, who was standing not far away with a dull expression.

Su Mingyan was an old fox who had practiced for eight hundred years. What could be seen, what couldn't be seen, he could see it all.

Her cultivation was too shallow, and she couldn't see what he was thinking. Half her heart was up and down: "Brother, what are you doing at the tea house?"

"Preparing to take some tea to give to a client."

His voice was as steady and peaceful as ever, making Su Ruoyun's hanging heart fall to the ground, relaxing.

"Tell me, I'll just send it to Xiangshan Yayuan for you. Why did you run here yourself?"

"Just happened to have a dinner party tonight, the car was passing by here, thinking of stopping by, just to save you a trip." Su Mingyan explained.

Su Ruoyun packed the tea carefully for him skillfully, then handed the exquisite paper bag over.

She sent Su Mingyan to the door. Knowing he hadn't seen it, her steps were light and relaxed.

Su Mingyan's steps were calm, unhurriedly crossing the threshold. His right hand raised slightly, waving his hand while stopping her: "No need to send me off, I'll go first."

"Okay." Su Ruoyun replied to this "okay," standing still, watching his back disappear at the end of the corridor, then hurriedly turned around and walked back quickly, hooking her phone from the black walnut solid wood table.

On the screen were two WeChat messages.

【East Second Gate】

【Waiting for you】

Two simple and neat messages, note 【Xiao Chengzi】.

After reading the messages carefully twice, and even remembering the delivery time, she put the phone into her pocket.

The advantage of a shirt dress is that it has pockets, so she doesn't have to bother holding it in her hand.

She walked out of the front courtyard and walked toward the East Second Gate.

It was 5:30 PM, the sunset sinking. The afterglow splashed on the red walls and glazed tiles without reservation, the refracted light and shadow mottled and intertwined.

Su Ruoyun wasn't in a hurry, strolling leisurely along the curved corridor.

In late June, the flowering period of the Spanish olive tree in the backyard had passed, the cold, silver-gray branches and leaves quiet as the sea.

There were also a few jars of lotus flowers and goldfish in the courtyard. With lotus, it is summer. Emerging from the mud without being stained, white lotuses bloomed in competition. The breeze blew slowly, and the fragrance overflowed.

Su Ruoyun pushed aside the water algae and swimming goldfish with great interest, held one in her hand to play with, and walked to the East Gate with a leisurely pace.

The vermilion door was pulled open. A man with a straight figure stood on the curb, completely unaware of the arrival of the girl he was waiting for.

Su Ruoyun had a bad idea, deliberately lightening her movements, preparing to scare Huo Jingcheng.

Who told him to be so "bold and reckless" in front of Su Mingyan just now.

She approached step by step.

Just when there was only one last step left, she was about to pounce, only to see Huo Jingcheng step forward at the right time, taking a step across.

The prank failed.

Su Ruoyun was quite disappointed, but she didn't expect Huo Jingcheng to open his arms toward her slowly. Seeing this, she pounced straight into his chest, and Huo Jingcheng caught her full.

A warm embrace, set against the golden afterglow and flowers.

The curb in late June was filled with sunflowers, the golden flower disks adding a bright color to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, like a golden dream in Van Gogh's paintings.

When the wind blew, the entire sea of flowers in the green belt surged, and even the air was filled with golden fragrance.

Su Ruoyun wanted to take a photo with the city maintenance/construction tax, but disliked the parameters not adjusted in his phone, so she handed her phone to him.

Huo Jingcheng raised his hand naturally to take the pink phone. HELLOKITTY and him matched together, with no sense of incongruity at all.

He raised his hand, just preparing to take a photo for Su Ruoyun, when the phone vibrated, and a new message popped up on the screen.

He didn't intend to explore Su Ruoyun's privacy, but people always have a special familiarity with their own names, accurately capturing the three characters "Huo Jingcheng."

His long fingers pressed nimbly, and the phone automatically jumped into the merchant chat area of the shopping APP. Above it was a latest message.

【Dear, the "Huo Jingcheng and dogs are not allowed to enter" you looked at last time has a new discount, welcome to place an order.】

The sharpness in his pitch-black eyes was unhidden. He narrowed his peach-blossom eyes, his deep brows and eyes appearing cold and stern.

He looked at the chat history calmly. There were only a few sentences, and it was quick to browse. In two or three clicks, he took all the chat history into his eyes.

He stared at the chat time, a bit familiar, but couldn't remember exactly which day it was.

While his thoughts were wandering, Su Ruoyun was already standing by the red wall, waiting for Huo Jingcheng to take the photo, seeing his right hand holding the phone, lowering his head and not knowing what he was doing.

Su Ruoyun couldn't help but urge: "What are you doing? Hurry up and take it."

Huo Jingcheng withdrew his gaze from the screen calmly, knowing the date and time in his heart. It was the day he was "late" for his first visit to the tea house.

It was originally his problem, but Huo Jingcheng wasn't angry. Instead, he felt her little girl temperament even more. His inner mischief was at work, and he specifically wanted to tease her.

Looking up to meet her eyes, he curled his lips into a smile, speaking slowly, his volume neither loud nor small, just right to pass into Su Ruoyun's ears:

"Huo Jingcheng and dogs are not allowed to enter?"

Shopping APP mechanism: after users chat with merchants, they will push store discount activities from time to time. It was originally a humanized design, but it harmed Su Ruoyun.

Su Ruoyun, standing by the red wall, suddenly heard the familiar words and was stunned on the spot.
