She tightened her arms around Su Mo and responded softly. The moment her voice fell, her smile widened, the curve of her face so large it seemed uncontrollable.
But some people were even more excited than her.
"Really? You really said yes?" Su Mo's composure from before was gone. He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body. He was overwhelmed with joy.
"Mmm." She nodded vigorously after saying that, but when she tried to speak again, she was silenced.
The situation seems to be getting out of control.
Su Mo's chest was filled with something indescribable, urging him to do something. If he could, he even wanted to go outside and run two laps as fast as he could, shouting excitedly.
His body reacted uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but sink into her breath again. Jiang Jianhuan frowned slightly and took a deep breath.
"No... Su Mo..."
The faint sound was swallowed up, and then movement came again in the darkness. Jiang Jianhuan clutched the bed sheet, her mind wandering, praying only that this torturous torture would end soon.
She didn't know when the alarm clock went off. When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. Sunlight streamed through the half-open window and fell on the floor. A gentle summer breeze rustled the white gauze curtains.
She blinked slowly, then a sudden alarm bell rang in her mind.
What time is it?!
Jiang Jianhuan suddenly threw off the covers and sat up, feeling a soreness in her body. She rubbed her lower back and picked up her phone from the cabinet next to her.
With a press, the time is clearly displayed on it.
Two hours have passed since she went to work.
Jiang Jianhuan's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to send a message to Jiang Yuan, she suddenly noticed the sticky note next to her.
I used your phone to ask for leave, so sleep soundly.
She relaxed completely, opened the chat window, and sure enough, she saw Su Mo's message on Jiang Yuan's page; she had already replied and agreed.
Jiang Jianhuan was no longer sleepy. After sleeping for so long, almost half the morning had passed. Even though he had exhausted a lot of energy, he had recovered.
She scratched her hair, got out of bed, washed up, and then opened the door to go out.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the air still carried a refreshing coolness, but the sunlight was bright and strong, cut into several pieces by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, making the room bright and clean.
Su Mo was in the kitchen, frying bacon and eggs. Just as Jiang Jianhuan walked over, he was plating them.
"Awake? Are you hungry?"
For some reason, even though it was just a simple greeting like usual, Jiang Jianhuan stared into Su Mo's eyes and felt a strange, inexplicable feeling welling up inside him.
Especially when I think about what he said last night.
"Why are you making breakfast?" Jiang Jianhuan took a sip of the carrot and pear juice he had squeezed. She had seen the chat history earlier; the message had been sent two hours earlier.
"I heard you get up," Su Mo replied gently, his smile soft. Jiang Jianhuan unconsciously lowered his head to avoid his clear eyes.
"Have you eaten?" she asked, knowing full well what was going on. There were two breakfasts in front of her.
"Not yet, I want to wait for you to come together."
"oh..."
The two remained silent for a moment, each eating quietly and casually, their forks occasionally tapping against their plates, making soft sounds.
After dinner, Jiang Jianhuan sat on the sofa. Su Mo finished tidying up and sat down next to her, placing the plate of strawberries she had washed on the table.
What are you thinking about?
She sat up straight, her lips pursed, her expression a little too serious. Su Mo asked, amused.
Jiang Jianhuan looked up at him, her gaze deep, and upon closer inspection, something seemed to be shimmering within it.
Su Mo unconsciously suppressed her smile.
"Here, take this." Jiang Jianhuan suddenly spoke up, pushing the bank card she had prepared in front of him, her face somewhat solemn, and explaining in an extremely calm tone.
"The password is your birthday, and the money inside is exactly the remaining amount owed, totaling 5.3 million."
Her voice trembled as it lingered in the air. Su Mo's eyes darted about, and for a moment, she stared at her intently.
"good."
He took the card, casually put it in his pocket, his eyes remaining unchanged.
"Now, can we continue talking about what happened last night?"
"..." Jiang Jianhuan pursed her lips and unconsciously swallowed.
How do you want to talk...?
Su Mo raised her hand to glance at her watch, her expression calm and her voice as usual.
"There's still an hour and a half until noon."
"Um?"
“It used to only take half an hour to get to the Civil Affairs Bureau.” Su Mo looked at her, her expression natural, as if she were discussing what to eat for lunch with her.
Jiang Jianhuan's breathing slowed, and her body stiffened slightly.
"...Are you serious?"
"Were you lying to me last night?" Su Mowei's eyes widened, looking like a typical naive girl deceived by a scumbag.
Jiang Jianhuan was speechless. He rubbed his forehead and said with difficulty.
