Chapter 134: Lemonade

Huo Junze could not fathom how the young girl before him could so boldly speak words of teasing him.

He could even see anticipation in those eyes.

Wait.

What was her hand doing?

He grabbed the mischievous hand that was attempting to touch his abdominal muscles.

The person with ulterior motives was caught, yet there was not a hint of fear on her face.

"Can't I touch them?"

Ruan Mian felt a bit disappointed; they had already kissed, so why wouldn't he let her have a touch?

Before the apocalypse, her knowledge of eight-pack abs came entirely from the "male bodhisattvas" on certain short-video apps.

After the apocalypse, when stomachs couldn't be filled day after day, those with a bit of meat became skeletons, and those without meat turned into piles of ash.

Where else could one see a muscular man!

It was only here.

Sob sob sob, the only one with eight-pack abs, and she was just about to succeed, only for this to happen.

"What? You kissed me just for my abs?"

There's a chance!

Ruan Mian's eyes brightened.

Her fingertips tapped his chest, the force light and gentle, causing a ticklish sensation.

She bit her red lips, which he had kissed, her eyes alluring like silk.

"Who kissed you? It was clearly you who kissed me, alright..."

This kitten-like spirit made Huo Junze's heart feel itchy.

Thinking this, he took the opportunity to lift her hand and pressed a kiss to her fingertips.

"Yes, it was I who kissed you."

He pressed his forehead against hers.

Every wisp of breath turned into silk threads, wanting to wrap her tightly.

"Mianmian is even better to kiss than I imagined."

Ruan Mian was left blushing and red-faced by his sudden ambiguous words.

She dared not look into his eyes.

He gave her hand a squeeze, neither too light nor too heavy, "So soft."

Boom—Ruan Mian pressed her lips together tightly.

Shyness made her almost subconsciously want to retreat.

What is wrong with this person!?

Wasn't it agreed that she was supposed to be the one doing the seducing?

It's topsy-turvy!

Simply topsy-turvy!

Wait!

Ruan Mian finally realized something was wrong.

Her curled eyelashes blinked and blinked, like a butterfly dancing.

Her amber pupils reflected him.

The surrounding temperature was climbing.

"Huo Junze, you..."

Her mind was racing, thinking of the scenes she had seen in dramas about how favored concubines seduced their emperors, wondering what she should do.

After thinking for a long time, she could only grab a corner of his hem, her fingers twisting and twisting.

With a bit of trepidation, she spoke again.

"Do you also, just a little bit, like me~"

After gathering the courage to ask this, she lowered her eyelashes again, not daring to look.

The next second, her chin was gently lifted once more.

He forcefully intruded into her field of vision.

"Why are you playing the deserter? Weren't you very bold when you kissed me just now? Hmm?"

He did not wait for her answer.

A touch of damp heat was pressed against the corners of her lips.

"I thought I had made it obvious enough."

"What?"

With a sigh, Huo Junze felt a bit helpless, yet his eyes were full of doting affection.

"As for you, I do indeed like you."

He couldn't explain why, but as he learned about her bit by bit, the scales in his heart had already tipped toward her side.

At first, he only felt that someone who possessed such precious plants must be seized.

He just didn't expect that such a tiny girl would have such enormous energy.

Every single thing he did with her was filled with a sense of surprise.

The life he had lived for so many years before was so dull it could be called uneventful, incomparable to the days he had spent knowing her.

Every day since meeting her had been filled with surprises and joy.

Falling for such a charming girl is the most normal thing in the world, isn't it!

"What a coincidence!"

Ruan Mian pounced on him, her arms hanging tightly around his neck, bold and uninhibited.

Loved with such recklessness.

"I like you too!"

At this moment, the very air turned into a sweet flavor.

Ruan Mian thought, the honey peaches must be ripe, so sweet it made one feel a little drunk.

Huo Junze's gaze also changed at this moment.

Deep, scorching, and unmasked.

"Then, kiss me again."

A fair, tender palm blocked the space between them, obstructing his poised attack.

If one doesn't make demands at a time like this, when would one?

"So, can I touch your abs?"

The person whose lips were blocked revealed only half a face, which only served to make those dark eyes even more unfathomable.

The vortex of the storm contained within was almost enough to suck her entire being in.

The next second, her hand was pulled and pressed against a patch of scorching heat.

The undulating muscle blocks—she could feel the temperature rising, and his shallow breathing also became rapid.

The texture is actually not bad~

"Now, can I kiss you?"

Without a word, he pulled down the hand blocking the middle, lowered his head, and found her lips, unable to stop.

That hand that still wanted to cause trouble was pressed against his waist, helplessly clinging to this great tree...

Ruan Mian nestled in someone's embrace, calming the palpitations in her heart.

A breeze brushed past, blowing in a faint fruity fragrance; the swaying branches and leaves listened to the lovers' whispers.

A string of dark red cherries like jewels turned at his fingertips; the fruit, already beautiful to the point of unreality, was set off even more wonderfully by his well-proportioned fingers.

She suddenly remembered her original plan.

"President Huo, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you. Are you interested?"

Huo Junze raised an eyebrow as he looked at the person in his arms; she was smiling like a flower, her eyes flashing with cunning light, faintly hiding a sense of mischief, and even the lock of hair sticking up on the top of her head looked playful.

The hand circling her waist lifted to knead the soft flesh at the back of her neck, his brows lowered, and he let out a low laugh.

"Boss Ruan, please speak."

Ruan Mian truly sat up a bit straighter, cleared her throat, and pointed toward the direction of the great tree overhead.

"Regarding the business of these fruits, I wonder if President Huo is interested?"

Huo Junze was somewhat surprised.

But after a fleeting moment, he was somewhat understanding.

"How does Mianmian plan to do this business? Is it just for fun? Or do you want to make a big deal out of it?"

As soon as business was mentioned, Ruan Mian got energized.

She got up from him, reached out to him, and pulled him up from the ground as well.

"Let's pick some fruit first; I'll make you something delicious. President Huo, do me the honor~"

The two shuttled between the fruit trees, holding quite a bit of fruit in their hands, and walked to the small wooden cabin with smiles.

She cut the Lemon into thin slices, added syrup, pounded the Lemon slices, scooped in a spoonful of ice cubes, and finally added water.

After sealing the top, she shook it until well-mixed.

A simple yet extraordinary Lemonade was finished.

Ruan Mian pushed it in front of him, very expectant of his reaction.

"President Huo, want to have a taste?"

She hadn't forgotten how Huo Junze's features had twisted from the sourness of the Lemon just a moment ago.

It had amused her to no end.

She had seen another side of Huo Junze, even more vivid and cute.

"Is it tasty like this?"

That yellow Lemon looked good and smelled faint, carrying a bitter woody scent, but this taste really made it impossible for him to offer any compliments.

Now he was extremely suspicious of this water made from the Lemon...
