Chapter 184: Revisiting old haunts

~8 min read 1,503 words

Su Ruoyun's eyes went black, and she was stunned, her crimson lips slightly parted, much like a little mouse caught stealing oil.

She only then realized that Su Mingyan was now at the door of her apartment, which was even more terrifying than the sudden attack by Ming Manrong last time.

As it happened, Jiang Xihan had no class this morning, and Su Mingyan specifically came to deliver a loving breakfast, bringing a portion for Su Ruoyun as well.

But he didn't expect Su Ruoyun to be so bold. He had warned her just two days ago, and she still dared to "defy the wind."

After saying this, Su Mingyan cut off the call cleanly, threw his phone back into his pocket, his left hand still tightly holding Jiang Xihan's hand.

Hearing the series of "beep-beep-beep" sounds from the phone receiver, Su Ruoyun hurriedly pulled away Huo Jingcheng's arm wrapped around her waist, and got up in a hurry, shuffling into the slippers by the bed.

Her legs went soft, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Huo Jingcheng reached out in time to support her.

"Didn't fall and get hurt, did you?"

Su Ruoyun couldn't care about answering, and hurriedly walked to the walk-in closet, pulling out a set of loungewear from the wardrobe and putting it on.

After organizing everything, Su Ruoyun subconsciously glanced back, only to see Huo Jingcheng still unhurried, having changed into a more comfortable sleeping position, his hands crossed behind his head, his expression leisurely and contented.

Su Ruoyun: "..."

"Don't go out later." After speaking, she curled her long fingers, tucked the stray hair by her temples behind her ears, and separated two strands of the hair hanging behind her back, obediently drooping them on her neck to cover the ambiguous red marks all over her neck.

She was afraid that Su Mingyan would see Huo Jingcheng and get even angrier. It was already half a Shura field; if the fire got too big, I'm afraid the whole forest would burn down.

Hearing this, Huo Jingcheng lifted the quilt, walked over leisurely, picked up Su Ruoyun's chin with one hand, leaned over, and kissed her on the lips, "You stay here, I'll go open the door."

"You?" Su Ruoyun frowned, her face full of disapproval, and reached out two fingers to tug at the hem of Huo Jingcheng's pajamas, "I'd better go myself."

Huo Jingcheng clicked his tongue lightly, raised his hand to flick her forehead, the force was quite light, and his tone carried an unquestionable attitude, "I'll go."

As he spoke, he neatly took the clean shirt and suit trousers on the sofa and changed into them.

Five minutes later, the apartment door opened.

Su Mingyan stood at the door with a gloomy face, holding an exquisite food box in his hand. Seeing that the person who came to open the door was Huo Jingcheng, he didn't have a good face at all.

Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng hooked his brows and didn't say anything, taking the initiative to step back a small step to make way for him and Jiang Xihan.

Su Mingyan had his own slippers. Huo Jingcheng skillfully took a pair of disposable slippers from under the shoe cabinet and handed them to Jiang Xihan.

Jiang Xihan thanked him.

Looking back and taking this scene into his eyes, Su Mingyan snorted coldly, and while looking around, he asked: "Where is Su Ruoyun?"

"I'm here." Su Ruoyun was clutching the bedroom door with both hands, carefully peeking out.

She was originally in the bedroom, but hearing Jiang Xihan's voice, she knew she had come too, so Su Ruoyun wasn't so afraid. After all, someone still had to maintain their personal image in front of their girlfriend.

He scolded lightly without mercy: "Disobeying in public."

It was just short of saying Su Ruoyun was "resisting the decree."

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun smiled sheepishly, pursed her lips, and shrank half her head back behind the door. To tell the truth, she was still quite afraid of Su Mingyan; after all, her big brother wasn't as gentle on the inside as he looked on the surface.

Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng gave a casual glance to the side, his gaze slanted toward Su Mingyan, "Why don't you scold me?"

Su Mingyan: "..."

Seeing that he didn't get angry, Su Ruoyun boldly walked out of the bedroom, staring curiously at the wooden box in Su Mingyan's hand, "What is this?"

"Breakfast for you."

As he spoke, Su Mingyan raised his hand, intending to hand the food box to Su Ruoyun.

Comparing the two, he finally threw the food box to Huo Jingcheng.

Everyone moved to the dining room, and 'Panda' followed them with light steps.

Su Mingyan sat lazily on the chair, his right hand clenched into a fist, tapping on the mirror-like marble tabletop, deliberately saying: "I only brought one breakfast."

As the words fell, Su Ruoyun tilted her head to look, and found that the portion in the food box was enough for two people to eat. Her brother was clearly saying this on purpose.

She rested her chin on her hand and looked at the two of them, Li Wenye's words coming to her mind, "Are you two loving and killing each other?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xihan couldn't help but laugh, laughing lowly twice.

And the two men's faces turned black, casting their gazes toward Su Ruoyun in unison.

Su Ruoyun lowered her head, focused on petting the cat, directly ignoring the death stares.

After delivering breakfast, Jiang Xihan took the initiative to pull Su Mingyan away, leaving space for Su Ruoyun and Huo Jingcheng.

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng laughed lowly, his thigh pressed against hers, and he touched her knee from under the table, causing Su Ruoyun to glare at him.

The breakfast portion was sufficient, but the tableware was for one person. Huo Jingcheng turned and went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

The breakfast Su Mingyan brought was wonton noodles and beef pancakes.

The thin-skinned wontons were shrimp and meat fillings, the noodles were chewy and smooth, the soup was rich and mellow, and the beef pancakes were golden and crispy, fresh and juicy. It made one's appetite soar.

Eating steaming wonton noodles in summer, halfway through, Su Ruoyun had a thin layer of sweat on her back, and her cheeks were slightly red.

She couldn't help but tug at the collar of her loungewear. The movement was too large, and she accidentally exposed half of her round shoulder, with a thin shoulder strap hanging on her shoulder, attracting Huo Jingcheng's gaze.

Su Ruoyun held a spoon and drank soup, suddenly remembering something, and said to Huo Jingcheng: "In a few days, my college roommate is getting married. Do you want to go with me?"

Huo Jingcheng took the towel at hand and wiped his hands leisurely, "Where?"

"Shencheng."

It was Cong Jingqi's wedding. She specifically mailed a paper invitation. Su Ruoyun thought about the four-year roommate friendship and decided to go personally; after all, she had nothing to do now.

Huo Jingcheng: "Okay, notify me when the time comes."

——

The wedding was on July 9th, the 15th day of the sixth lunar month.

Su Ruoyun and Huo Jingcheng arrived in Shencheng one night in advance.

Unlike the ambiguous probing last time, this time, the two had a candlelight dinner together.

Michelin three-star restaurant, top-tier wine, and beautiful night view were staged again.

The night view of the economic capital was like a never-ending scene of paper-drunk and gold-obsessed.

Outside the window, the night in Shencheng was not yet over, the lights of the skyscrapers were dazzling, the clock tower on the Bund and the skyscrapers in Lujiazui looked at each other across the river, and cruise ships on the Huangpu River sailed slowly.

The soft night colors and the bright moonlight outside the window framed the two of them from behind, as if they had both become the backdrop for lovers.

Huo Jingcheng asked her if she still remembered last time.

Su Ruoyun twisted the thin stem of the wine glass with her fingertips, her wrist shaking lightly, and the crimson wine splashed on the cup wall. The memory was deep.

Last time she talked to Li Li, making her mistakenly think Huo Jingcheng was going to confess, but it turned out to be a farce. After returning to the hotel, she learned that the first meeting at the bar was him.

She held the wine glass and took a sip, the wine fragrance was rich.

"Remember," after speaking, Su Ruoyun asked curiously: "Why did you go out last time? Was it really official business?"
