"good."
He lifted the covers, and as soon as he lay down, Jiang Jianhuan snuggled up to him, gently resting her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed.
"Do you want to turn off the lights?" Su Mo asked softly, holding her in her arms. Jiang Jianhuan first shook her head, then nodded.
"Could you leave a small light on? I'm still a little scared."
"Okay." Su Mo raised her hand and turned off several of the main lights in the room, leaving only the small orange lamp in the entryway. Jiang Jianhuan had turned on all the lights earlier because she was scared, making the whole room as bright as day.
With another person beside her, the unease lessened somewhat. Su Mo had a unique scent, a mixture of shower gel, laundry detergent, and other things, creating a faint lemon-like fragrance.
When you take a small breath, you feel a refreshing warmth, which is completely different from his personality.
Jiang Jianhuan buried her face in his neck, her whole body enveloped by his breath, and the unease seemed to disappear completely.
She moved contentedly, her nose accidentally brushing against his skin, a delicate touch that stirred a long-lost desire within her.
I really want to take a bite.
But I dare not.
Jiang Jianhuan couldn't define their current relationship. She couldn't help wanting to be close to him, couldn't resist his kindness, and couldn't refuse anything related to him. But if she were to let go of everything and be completely with Su Mo, something was holding her back.
Stop thinking about it and just let things take their course.
She shook her head, her brows furrowing slightly.
"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?" Su Mo noticed her movement, touched her hair, and Jiang Jianhuan asked in a low voice.
A little.
"Still scared?" Su Mo's tone was gentle. His voice was already pleasant, but the deliberate softening made it even more irresistible. Jiang Jianhuan shook her head again. She was scared, but more so because of things related to him.
Su Mo lifted her head and looked at her intently for a few seconds under the light.
"Stop thinking about it, let's do something else."
Chapter 39
"What?" Jiang Jianhuan stared at him blankly, not understanding. Su Mo lowered his face and rubbed his forehead against hers.
Then a gentle kiss landed on her forehead, then her eyes, her nose. And finally, a tiny kiss slid to her lips.
Su Mo's kiss was gentle, just like his current state. Jiang Jianhuan closed her eyes and responded lightly, her hands unconsciously encircling his neck.
The two drew closer and closer, their bodies pressed tightly together. Jiang Jianhuan nestled into his arms, held tightly by Su Mo's hand around her waist.
They kissed for a long time. Su Mo's lips and tongue, soothing, lingered on her skin like the warm spring sunshine. Although it was inappropriate, Jiang Jianhuan sighed contentedly, her eyelashes trembling slightly as a comfortable sleepiness washed over her.
He wanted to sleep but was reluctant to, but before he knew it, Su Mo stopped moving. Jiang Jianhuan rubbed against his face and hummed like a kitten.
Two low chuckles reached my ears, muffled and low, as if they were rolling out from the throat.
Su Mo gave her a comforting kiss on the lips.
"Go to sleep now, sweetie."
"Hmm..." Jiang Jianhuan closed her eyes and gradually drifted off to sleep.
She set an alarm on her phone, and the phone on the bedside table rang at the appointed time the next day. Jiang Jianhuan was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and when she was woken up by the alarm, she felt a sense of disorientation, not knowing where she was.
A hand reached out from in front of her and turned off the alarm clock, restoring silence to the room. Jiang Jianhuan closed her eyes for a few seconds before her mind cleared.
"What time is it?"
“Eight o’clock,” Su Mo replied. Jiang Jianhuan stirred in his arms.
"I should get up."
After she finished speaking, she rubbed her eyes and sat up. Su Mo watched her movements from the side, a smile inexplicably appearing on her face.
Jiang Jianhuan threw off the covers, groggily climbed out of bed, slipped on her slippers and went into the bathroom. After tidying up, she came out looking clean and refreshed.
"I need to get ready to go to the scene now, what about you?" She looked at Su Mo, who walked past her to wash up, his voice coming through her not very clearly.
"Pack your things, I'll take you there."
The two didn't go to the hotel for breakfast, but found a tea restaurant outside. Su Mo was still wearing a hat and made several phone calls along the way.
"I'll take you there later. I'll have Li Sa investigate what happened last night."
"Do you remember what I looked like?" Su Mo asked her.
"Hmm." Jiang Jianhuan nodded. She has always had a good memory because she studied art sketching and has a clear memory of facial features.
"By the way, they were all wearing police uniforms. Could it be that I was just too nervous and they didn't understand..." she said hesitantly, recalling the incident. Su Mo looked thoughtful.
"Don't think too much about it. The police will find out when they arrive."
"good."
After eating, Jiang Jianhuan arrived at the venue unharmed. Many staff members were already busy, but the judges hadn't arrived yet. Su Mo had work scheduled for today, an appointment with a very important producer. After dropping her off, she rushed back, telling her that Li Sa would arrive shortly.
Not long after, Jiang Jianhuan ran into two people from her company. They had also arrived the day before, but had been delayed until the evening due to some matters, and were not in the same hotel. After learning about her experience last night, the two women were shocked.
"That's terrible." They looked at each other, their faces full of sympathy.
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened."
“Yes.” Jiang Jianhuan smiled.
