Wan Qingyun, who had been sound asleep, suddenly felt something heavy fall on her, and she was startled awake.
She half-propped herself up and reached out to touch.
From the touch, it was undoubtedly Jiang Junyi.
"Junyi? Junyi?"
She called softly, but there was no response.
"Is he too tired…?"
Wan Qingyun fumbled and touched Jiang Junyi's smooth hair, feeling his heartbeat.
Only after confirming it wasn't sudden death did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Wan Qingyun adjusted herself, first gently placing Jiang Junyi's body on the sofa, then sitting up.
She couldn't stand up, so she couldn't move Jiang Junyi; she could only place him on her lap.
"You're really getting off easy…" Wan Qingyun gently stroked Jiang Junyi's hair, murmuring softly.
Time slowly passed, and she greatly enjoyed this peaceful time.
Suddenly, a thought gradually arose in Wan Qingyun's mind—what does he look like?
Although she couldn't see now, she could feel with her hands and draw an image of Jiang Junyi in her mind.
This thought lingered in her mind, making her feel restless.
For two people who have developed feelings for each other, it's hard to resist doing something in such a situation.
"Just this once… while he's still asleep…" Wan Qingyun quietly encouraged herself.
Immediately after, her left hand covered Jiang Junyi's cheek, carefully feeling it.
Hmm… not chubby, and his skin is quite good.
Her fingertips slid down, touching Jiang Junyi's nose bridge.
Oh, it's quite high and straight.
She moved her hand up, reaching Jiang Junyi's eyebrows and eyes.
Wan Qingyun lightened her movements, afraid of hurting Jiang Junyi if she used too much force.
She felt Jiang Junyi's sword-like eyebrows and well-defined eyes.
A face with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a jade-like complexion appeared in Wan Qingyun's mind.
"So you're this handsome…" Wan Qingyun murmured.
Although this was just a rough sketch, she could imagine that Jiang Junyi must be very handsome.
The kind of person everyone is captivated by.
"But… why are you so good to me…?"
She gently stroked Jiang Junyi's cheek, looking up into the distance, lost in thought.
This question had always weighed on her heart; it wasn't that she didn't want to ask, but that she didn't dare to.
She was afraid of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear, afraid that her feelings these past few days were all illusory.
Especially in the current situation, she was really conflicted.
She had truly fallen for him, but she wasn't sure why Jiang Junyi was doing this.
Does he really like her? Is he truly not after something else?
Wan Qingyun didn't know, but she wanted to know.
If she hadn't fallen for him, if she hadn't developed affection for this man in front of her, then nothing would matter.
You use me, I use you.
But now, she wanted to truly possess all of this.
"Mmm…"
Just as Wan Qingyun's thoughts were in disarray, Jiang Junyi on her lap made a sound, slowly waking up.
She quickly tried to pull her hand back, but Jiang Junyi's large hand gripped it tightly: "Don't pull it back, let me feel it a bit longer."
Wan Qingyun relaxed, slowly placing her hand on Jiang Junyi's cheek, gently caressing it.
Jiang Junyi held Wan Qingyun's hand, rubbing it slightly, the soft touch from her fingertips and the pleasant scent from Wan Qingyun's body made him linger.
"Ah… I like you so much, Wan Qingyun." Jiang Junyi murmured, expressing his true feelings while caressing her delicate hand.
Jiang Junyi rarely, very rarely, called her by her full name; it was always some overly affectionate pet names, or just the usual intimate "Qingyun."
But this time, calling her by her full name made her heart tremble.
From those three words, Wan Qingyun heard Jiang Junyi's overflowing emotions.
She leaned down, her long hair falling onto Jiang Junyi's face, her voice slightly trembling, yet also full of anticipation: "Jiang Junyi, why are you so good to me?"
Jiang Junyi moved his head, looking up at Wan Qingyun's serene and exquisite face, smelling the faint fragrance in her hair.
He reached out, brushed aside her hair, and caressed Wan Qingyun's cheek, gently rubbing it.
Jiang Junyi knew that Wan Qingyun had certainly fallen for him, and now she needed a clear and firm answer to dispel all the shadows in her heart.
"Love arises unknowingly, and goes deep."
"At first, I just wanted to fulfill my grandfather's promise from back then, until I saw you."
"I admit there was an element of being smitten by your appearance, but the agitation of my heart cannot be faked."
Jiang Junyi took Wan Qingyun's hand and placed it over his heart.
"You are strong, brave, like a lotus blooming on a snowy mountain peak."
"I saw you in the wind and snow, and was instantly captivated."
Hot and sincere emotions poured out unreservedly through his words.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Their heartbeats overlapped at this moment.
What drove it was no longer blood, but surging love.
Wan Qingyun chuckled softly, slowly lowering her head.
This is the answer I wanted.
Jiang Junyi caressed Wan Qingyun's cheek, closing his eyes…
"Young Master, the ingredients you wanted, I…" Uncle Wu suddenly burst in, saw the scene, and quickly turned around, "I! Haven't bought them back yet!"
Jiang Junyi suddenly opened his eyes, and Wan Qingyun instantly straightened up, frantically tidying her hair, hiding the shyness on her face.
He silently stood up, his head suddenly snapped backward, and a dark aura emanated from Jiang Junyi's body: "Uncle Wu…"
At this moment, Jiang Junyi was like a ghost from a horror novel, his eyes glowing red as he stared fiercely at Uncle Wu.
He swayed as he walked towards Uncle Wu, closing the door behind him.
Uncle Wu performed a 180-degree bow, his head touching his shoes: "Young Master! I'm truly! Very sorry!"
"Ah, ah, ah, ah! Uncle Wu! Do you know what I just missed?!"
"You are guilty of ten thousand deaths!!"
"Ah, ah!"
Jiang Junyi clenched his fists, flailing his arms wildly in the open space, his body contorted.
He felt like his teeth were about to shatter!
Just a little bit! A little bit!
He could already feel Wan Qingyun's warm breath and sweet scent!
After his outburst, Jiang Junyi instantly became dejected, squatting on the ground drawing circles: "Just a little… just a little…"
"Young Master, I'm so sorry!" Uncle Wu still maintained his 180-degree bow, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat during the process.
This, this, this… this really ruined something big!
How could such a damn novel cliché happen to me?!
Uncle Wu, who had always hated similar plot devices, never expected to be the one to cause such a terrible interruption this time.
"Sigh, never mind… there will be other opportunities…"
Jiang Junyi stood up, waving his hand weakly.
As he passed Uncle Wu, he suddenly turned his head, his gaze extremely dangerous: "Next time, remember to sneak a peek!"
"Yes!!!"
Jiang Junyi shook his head, took the ingredients from Uncle Wu's hand, and listlessly pushed open the door, walking towards Wan Qingyun.
At this moment, Wan Qingyun naturally heard the commotion Jiang Junyi made outside the door, and also heard Uncle Wu's super loud, super regretful apology.
She covered her mouth and chuckled, calling out: "Jiang Junyi."
"Hmm?"
"Come here for a moment."
