Shu Xin got out of bed and walked to the balcony with light steps. The man who was always very vigilant didn't notice her approach. Shu Xin hugged Huo Yanqing's narrow waist from behind and gently placed her head on his broad back, " What are you thinking about?"
Huo Yanqing stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers and gently patted Shu Xin's hand in front of her, "Don't hug me, I smell of cigarette smoke."
"I want a hug." Shu Xin hugged her a little tighter.
Huo Yanqing curled her lips helplessly, raised her hand and fanned the surrounding air to disperse the smell of smoke, "Why are you awake?"
"You haven't answered me yet. What are you thinking about? Why don't you sleep?"
Huo Yanqing put his big hand on the back of Shu Xin's hand and was silent for a moment before answering, "... it's about the company."
"Oh..." Shu Xin paused, "Don't work too hard. You can never make enough money. Your health is the most important thing."
"Um."
It was quiet all around, and the smell of smoke gradually dissipated.
After a moment of silence, Huo Yan shouted, "Xin'er."
"Um?"
"...Have you ever thought about finding your mother?"
"No." Shu Xin answered without any hesitation.
"… Why?"
"She left when I was two months old. Since she abandoned me and my father for another man, there is no need for me to remember her in my heart."
"Do you hate her?"
Shu Xin blinked her eyes in the night and thought for two seconds, "Only when you give your feelings can you feel hatred. I have no impression of her and no feelings for her, so I can't talk about hatred. At most... I blame her for being too cruel. Dad has been sad for so many years.”
"… Um."
Shu Xin released her hand from Huo Yanqing's waist, grabbed the nightgown around his waist with both hands, raised one foot, tilted her head, and leaned over to look at Huo Yanqing, "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"
Huo Yanqing turned around, leaned her back against the railing, held Shu Xin's smooth and delicate shoulders with both hands, and rubbed her thumb pads on her shoulders, "Is it because there is no wedding room, so you woke up in the middle of the night? "
"certainly not."
Shu Xin's attention was diverted instantly.
Huo Yanqing lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Shu Xin's fair forehead, "How about making it up now?"
"don't want."
Huo Yanqing smiled, "Really?"
"No." Shu Xin's face turned red and she muttered in her heart, making it seem like she was very hungry.
Huo Yanqing lowered her head to find Shu Xin's lips.
Shu Xin tilted her head to avoid it.
Huo Yanqing turned her head and chased after him.
Shu Xin tilted her head to the other side again, with a bright smile in her eyes, "I told you not to."
Huo Yanqing let go of Shu Xin's shoulders, held her face, and their lips touched each other, "You don't want it, I want it."
After speaking, she held her lips steady.
The corners of Shu Xin's lips curled up, no longer pretentious, her hands wrapped around Huo Yanqing's smooth neck, and she opened her lips to meet his kiss.
Heart to heart, lips and teeth intertwined.
There was a very faint smell of tobacco in his mouth, which he hadn't tasted for a long time. Shu Xin found that she missed him a little, and she kissed him deeper and deeper.
On the balcony, the moonlight shone down, and the shadows of the two people overlapped, as if they were one person.
A gust of breeze blew by, and my mind returned to comfort. I opened my blurred eyes and found that one of my shoulder straps had faded to my arm at some point. The scenery on my chest was looming, and the ravines were white and charming.
"Let's go in?"
The comfortable voice was tinged with emotion and hoarse, like the lazy cry of a kitten, which made Huo Yanqing's heart itch.
"right here."
Shu Xin shook his head, his face red as if he was about to bleed, "No, this is the balcony."
