69. Chapter 69 The Feeling of Happiness 1

The Sprite snatched from Shangguan Yun's hand slipped from my grasp, because I was startled by my own action.

With a "bang" sound, it fell to the floor, and the Sprite immediately poured out of the bottle, flowing like the stream in a cheerful little creek, slowly reaching my feet; a chill washed over me and I came to.

When I looked up, I saw Shangguan Yun looking at me with a puzzled expression.

"Sorry, I, I didn't mean to." I apologized to him like a child who had done something wrong.

"It's fine, it's fine, sit on the bed first." Shangguan Yun pushed me to sit on the edge of the bed, then went out and somehow produced a dry towel, knelt on the floor, and clumsily wiped the floor. Seeing his awkward movements, it was clear he had never done this before; unable to bear it, I walked over, squatted beside him, and said, "Let me do it." Just as I reached for the towel he was holding, our hands touched, I reflexively pulled back, but he gripped it tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Let me wipe it up." I glanced at him, a little embarrassed, snatched the towel from his hand and skillfully wiped the floor—after all, only a little Sprite had spilled, so it wasn't much, and I finished quickly.

Just then someone rang the doorbell; Shangguan Yun immediately got up to open the door, while I took the towel to the bathroom, washed it, and hung it up. When I came out, Shangguan Yun pulled me along and said, "I had someone bring you breakfast—come eat first, otherwise the food will get cold." I obediently followed behind him.

He sat down first, thoughtfully opened the soy milk and handed it to me, saying, "Weren't you just thirsty? Drink this first."

I looked at him, slowly reached out and took the steaming soy milk from his hand, and my heart felt just as warm; I was deeply moved.

I had always thought Shangguan Yun was arrogant and aloof, but I never expected him to do these trivial little things for me, attending to even the smallest details so well.

"Hurry up and drink, why are you staring at me?" Shangguan Yun said with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

I immediately lowered my head and sucked the soy milk; a warm current slowly spread through my chest, feeling so comfortable and warm—perhaps this is what happiness feels like, a sensation I hadn't experienced in a long time.
