Fireworks On Earth

Chapter 19: cotton

Views:

At night, Ying Yanluo sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a tablet in one hand and a stylus in the other. She was thinking about the plot of "Penglai". She was so absorbed in drawing that when she realized it, she realized that this scene looked a little familiar. Looking more carefully, wasn't this the scene of her eating mutton hotpot with Su Weichu two days ago

When Su Weichu came out of the shower, he saw her thin but straight back. He casually wiped the water droplets on her hair and walked towards her. She was probably too immersed in the plot and didn't notice his approach at all. Su Weichu saw the manuscript on her tablet. Although it was only simple lines, he recognized it at a glance.

"It's a good painting," he said.

Ying Yanluo suddenly reacted and turned to look at him, "When did you come out?"

"Just now, you were so absorbed in painting that you didn't notice."

Ying Yanluo said "oh" and felt a little embarrassed. She turned off the tablet screen and explained, "Well, inspiration comes from life."

Su Weichu nodded, indicating his agreement, and handed her a towel, "Help me wipe my hair."

"Okay." Ying Yanluo quickly put the tablet and stylus aside and took the towel from his hand.

She stood up and Su Weichu sat down on the sofa.

Ying Yanluo covered him with a towel and started to wipe it gently. His hair was of good quality, black and soft. He lowered his eyes and let her do what she wanted. His eyelashes were very long and his nose was high.

Su Weichu's originally downcast eyes moved up slightly and landed on the slender waist in front of her. It was so thin that it seemed fragile. She obviously had not eaten much during this period, so why was she still so thin

Ying Yanluo's attention was originally on Su Weichu's face, so she naturally noticed his slightly raised eyelashes. When she saw his eyelashes raised, she was startled and paused in her hand movements. Su Weichu then raised his head and looked at her.

There was a warm wall lamp on in the bedroom. The light shone on his face, and each eyelash was dyed with a faint warm gold. Ying Yanluo swallowed involuntarily, having the illusion of being bewitched. The two of them were very close to each other at this moment, and she was standing between his legs.

Su Weichu's hand, which was originally placed on the sofa, suddenly rested on her waist. Through a thin layer of fabric, Ying Yanluo felt that the skin on her waist became hot. Their eyes met, her lips slightly opened, and in such an ambiguous atmosphere, her breathing unconsciously became lighter.

Just when Su Weichu moved his palms, wanting to pull the person into his arms, Ying Yanluo pulled off the towel covering his head with a "swish". The soft towel swept across his cheek, and Ying Yanluo took a step back, "I, I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, he grabbed the towel and trotted towards the bathroom without looking back.

Su Weichu turned his body to look at her and reminded her, "Pyjamas."

Ying Yanluo paused for a moment and came back to get her pajamas.

When Su Weichu heard the bathroom door lock with a click, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, and he clenched his palms slightly, as if he could still feel the warmth and tightness there for a moment.

The sound of dripping water came from the bathroom. Su Weichu's eyes were deep and dark. Suddenly, there was a vibrating sound of "buzz". Su Weichu subconsciously glanced casually towards the sound. It was Ying Yanluo's phone. Someone sent her a WeChat message.

He had no habit of prying into other people's privacy, so he just glanced and then looked away. After two seconds, his sight suddenly stopped. He felt something was wrong and slowly looked back.

When Ying Yanluo came out of the bathroom, Su Weichu had already gone to bed. He was leaning against the head of the bed wearing glasses and flipping through his book "International Finance".

"Aren't you going to the study to do some work today?" she asked curiously.

"I've almost finished today's work," he replied.

Ying Yanluo said "oh" and sat in front of the dressing table to take care of her skin carefully. When she was about to go to bed, she suddenly remembered that she had not taken her mobile phone yet, so she walked to the sofa to get her mobile phone. When she turned on the phone, she saw two WeChat messages floating on the screen.

Tao Lanzhi: Yanluo, Grandpa asked me to ask you guys what time you will arrive at noon tomorrow.

Tao Lanzhi: By the way, what kind of food does Mr. Su like to eat

Ying Yanluo held the phone tightly and subconsciously glanced at Su Weichu lying on the bed.

Su Weichu noticed her gaze, looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Ying Yanluo turned off the phone, smiled and shook her head at him, then quickly walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

After she lay down, Su Weichu also put the "International Finance" in his hand back on the bedside table.

"You don't want to watch it anymore?" she asked.

Su Weichu took off his glasses and said, "Well, I won't watch it anymore."

"Do you want to turn off the lights?" Ying Yanluo asked.

"I'll turn it off here."

Ying Yanluo let out an "oh".

After turning off the lights, the bedroom was dim and quiet. Su Weichu hugged her from behind as usual and said softly, "Go to sleep. Good night."

Ying Yanluo hummed and slowly closed her eyes. After a few seconds, she opened them again and called him softly.

Su Weichu responded immediately, "What's wrong? Tell me something?"

Ying Yanluo hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Good night."

Su Weichu hugged her tighter and said, "Okay."

After a while, the breathing of the person in my arms gradually became steady, and he had obviously fallen asleep.

Su Weichu held her shoulders and gently turned her over so that she faced him.

Ying Yanluo frowned and snorted, but didn't wake up.

Su Weichu looked at the peaceful face so close to him. He slowly raised his slender fingers and stroked along her eyebrows. His deep eyes were dark and deep, hiding a bit of complex clarity. His beautiful lips moved slightly, and finally turned into a silent sigh.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ying Yanluo planned to go to the studio to paint after he went to the company. She usually didn't go to the studio on weekends, and Su Weichu had almost no days off, so she planned to go to the studio to paint after he left, and then go back to Ying's house for lunch later. It was also possible that lunch would not go well...

Su Weichu goes out on time at 8:30 every day, but now it is already past 8:30 and he has not changed his clothes. It is past 9 o'clock and he still has no intention of going out. Ying Yanluo hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking him, "Aren't you going to the company today?"

Su Weichu smiled and said, "I'm not going to the company today."

Ying Yanluo said, "Not going to the company?"

Su Weichu nodded and asked, "You don't want me to be at home?"

Ying Yanluo quickly shook her head, "No, no." If he didn't go to the company, how would she respond to her family later...

"By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch? Do you want to eat at home or go out?"

Ying Yanluo pursed her lips and glanced at him. Did he see the news yesterday

"what's on your mind?"

While she was distracted, Su Weichu walked to her side without her knowing when.

Ying Yanluo said subconsciously: "I didn't think about anything."

"What shall we eat then?"

"I'll listen to you. I'll eat whatever you say."

Su Weichu smiled at her and said nothing.

I don't know why. Although he had a gentle look on his face, Ying Yanluo was inexplicably nervous. She felt so nervous that her heart was about to jump out. She didn't dare to look into his eyes. Didn't he know? Did he know? Did he see it

"Yanluo."

"You know it, don't you?"

The moment Su Weichu called her, she blurted out the same question, but the next second after asking, Ying Yanluo felt inexplicably relieved.

Su Weichu looked at her, "Know what?"

Ying Yanluo swallowed and asked, "Did you see the WeChat message last night?"

"So do you want me to see it or not?" Su Weichu asked her back.

After hearing this, what else did Ying Yanluo not understand

In fact, when she saw the message last night, she wondered whether he had seen it. Before going to bed, she was also hesitating whether to tell him, but she opened her lips again and again, and finally did not say it. Thinking of this, Ying Yanluo suddenly thought of the words he asked her before going to bed last night, "Is there anything you want to tell me?" In fact, at that time, he was waiting for her to confess, right

"If I hadn't seen it, would you have just gone back by yourself today?" Su Weichu asked again.

Ying Yanluo blinked her eyes. In fact, on the day she received the call, she had planned to go back and had even thought of an excuse.

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head.

Su Weichu sighed softly and walked to her side. "You have nothing to be sorry for me. Besides, isn't accompanying you home for dinner included in our contract?"

Ying Yanluo suddenly looked up at him. His eyes were deep and radiant with a soft luster, but her heart seemed to be pulled, as if there was a ball of swollen cotton in her throat, which was very blocked and uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything.

Su Weichu did not continue the previous topic, but asked: "What time do we go there?"

Ying Yanluo: “Around eleven o’clock.”

Su Weichu glanced at the clock and said, "Pack up and wait for Xiao Wei to deliver the gifts, then we'll go over."

"gift?"

"Well, it's not good to go there empty-handed."

"When did you ask Assistant Short to prepare it?"

"Sent him a message last night."

It was just past ten o'clock when Xiao Wei came over carrying a bunch of gifts.

"Boss Su, everything you asked me to buy is here, would you like to take a look?"

Su Weichu took a quick look and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

“It should be.”

Xiao Wei knew that they would definitely go out soon, so he didn't stay long. After putting down his things, he said hello to them and left.

Ying Yanluo looked at the gifts and said, "You bought too many."

"It's OK, I don't know if they will like it."

"Yes." Ying Yanluo said immediately.

Su Weichu smiled and said, "That's good."

I left the house at 10:20. It had been snowing heavily in Beijing for a whole day. The outside was already covered with snow. The temperature dropped rapidly and my breath turned into white mist.

It was about a forty-four-minute drive. Ying Yanluo turned her head to look at him. He held the steering wheel with both hands, staring ahead. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We'll be back after dinner. If they say something you don't want to hear, you don't need to pay attention to it."

Su Weichu glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll see to it."

During the rest of the drive, the two hardly spoke. Su Weichu concentrated on driving, while Ying Yanluo stared at the snow outside the window in a daze.
