Chapter 111 The Refined Scoundrel
That night, the two of them stayed up together in the spire on the top floor to welcome the New Year.
The spire is a small room surrounded by walls of books, with a rocking chair and a table in the middle—a very unique place.
The maid brought over two cups of coffee.
Yu Zhan and Luo Shu nestled together.
On New Year's Eve, the outside world was brightly lit, and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky, radiating brilliant light.
Multicolored light streams through the exquisite medieval stained glass windows, instantly creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
when--
The clock struck twelve on the castle.
Outside the window, a dense array of fireworks burst forth in an instant.
"Shu, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Zhan."
Yu Zhan lowered his head, she looked up, and their passionate kiss found its home.
The kiss was light, just a fleeting touch.
She lay on Yu Zhan's body, her little face pressed against his chest, feeling the rhythmic beating of his heart.
Bang, bang...
His voice was strong and powerful, even causing a slight vibration in his chest.
"Ah Zhan," Luo Shu asked cautiously, "Did you have someone beat up Su Nian's leg?"
“No.” He frowned.
Does she see herself as a ruthless person?
However, looking at Qin Heng's situation, it seems there might indeed be some truth to it.
But he wouldn't do something like that; if he were to actually do it, you probably wouldn't even see a trace of him.
Su Nian deserves to die, but it's not to the point where we need to find someone to get rid of him. Besides, he is Luo Shu's father, and even if there is no affection between them, we can't do this.
She will probably be sad.
Luo Shu pursed her lips and said "Oh".
If it's not him, then it can only be that one person.
The old man who took Su Nian away that day.
She breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't him who did it.
“I’ve heard about Su Nian’s situation, but I really didn’t do it…” he said.
"I believe you," Luo Shu interrupted him.
"You believe everything I say?"
Yu Zhan pinched her cheek, then played with her hair, circling it on his index finger.
"Yes, I believe you." She snuggled closer to Yu Zhan.
“That’s right,” he said. “We are law-abiding citizens and we don’t do anything illegal.”
Luo Shu looked up, climbed up, propped her elbows on the side, and looked down at the man in front of her.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" she asked.
She hadn't inquired about many of Yu Zhan's affairs, and only recently learned of his true identity.
"How dare I? Hmm?" Yu Zhan placed his hand on her waist.
"Do you still remember that muddle-headed teacher?" Luo Shu stroked his eyebrows.
"Of course I remember, Mr. Hu." Yu Zhan frowned mischievously. "Isn't it a bit of a downer to talk about other people at this time? Hmm?"
"I... ah~"
She angrily punched his chest and called him a beast.
"Why?" he chuckled, his deep, slightly magnetic voice ringing out.
——
The next morning.
The family drove to Baoxiang Temple to pray for blessings.
"I really need to give you and Zhan a good blessing. This Hua'er, she's been married for two years and hasn't even given the family a baby yet..."
Zhou Zhiyi held Luo Shu's hand and walked towards Baoxiang Temple, muttering to herself as they went: "Have a baby..."
Luo Shu pursed her lips, occasionally casting pleading glances at Yu Zhan.
Yu Zhan was supporting Grandpa Yu as they chatted. When they met her gaze, he just smiled, giving her a look that said, "You decide what to do."
"Mom, Zhan and I aren't planning on having children yet," she murmured, blushing.
The two found a place to sit down, and she pounded her thighs, massaging them from time to time.
Last night, when he hoisted her legs onto his shoulders, she knew she was in for trouble.
This morning, my thighs were so sore they were killing me. I simply couldn't handle climbing the mountain to the temple.
My legs are still shaking.
Zhou Zhiyi scoffed, "It's not like I'm telling you to have a baby right now. Young people should enjoy themselves first. There's no rush. The wedding hasn't even happened yet. I can't let you suffer."
Oh yes, the wedding hasn't happened yet.
Young people should enjoy themselves first.
That statement was somewhat suggestive.
Luo Shu didn't know how to respond.
Before long, they followed, and Yu Zhan sat down next to Luo Shu.
I noticed the little movement she made with her hands.
He chuckled, patted her knee, and rubbed it, seemingly casually.
Luo Shu hurriedly pushed his hand away.
How can this man be so shameless?
I don't even know how to be ashamed...
"You're tired after walking such a short distance? Hmm?" He smiled.
Luo Shu glared at him.
How dare you say that!
Who was it that said "new things to do in the new year" last night and insisted on finding videos online to learn from them?
Luo Shu felt her face burning and becoming dizzy.
She felt that Yu Zhan was already good enough and didn't need to study anymore, but he forced her to study with him.
Seeing that there were hardly any people around, Zhou Zhiyi and the others continued walking uphill.
They were deliberately left behind.
"Yu Zhan, keep your mind pure, and Buddha will see it."
"There are so many people worshipping Buddha today, Buddha doesn't have time to listen to us."
"..."
Seeing that Luo Shu didn't say anything, he continued, "Buddha also said, 'Food and sex are human nature, but a gentleman is attracted to sex but not lewdly...'"
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Shu hurriedly got up and left.
Yu Zhan was left behind, chuckling incessantly.
"A refined scoundrel..." she murmured, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Yu Zhan followed behind her. This little woman was easily teased and would blush easily.
He felt as if Luo Shu had bewitched him, and he could only see her.
Not far along, I came face to face with a familiar figure.
"Shu'er."
"Ye Fou?"
"I never expected to run into you here." He chuckled. He had come alone, and seeing that Luo Shu was also alone, he was in a great mood.
"Come and pray for blessings," she replied casually.
"What a coincidence," Ye Fou asked. "Together?"
"No, it's not really appropriate." Luo Shu shook her head, and the conversation stalled.
At that moment, a large, hot hand wrapped around her waist from behind, its fingers unconsciously gripping her shinbone, their breaths close together.
An undercurrent surged in the silence, as sultry as an entire summer night.
She was flustered, but she didn't refuse.
The man beside me had a faint sandalwood scent that was all too familiar.
He was already angry enough about Ye Fou's appearance last time, and if he were to pretend they weren't familiar now, Ye Fou would probably have to use every trick in the book tonight.
"We meet again." The man curled his lips, his face full of the smugness of someone in a position of power.
Ye Fou glanced at Yu Zhan's hand on her waist, then at her calm expression, and suddenly understood.
But I still couldn't help asking, "When did you get together? You didn't even say a word."
Yu Zhan smiled and said, "We got married a week before Fashion Week last year."
He lowered his head, glancing sideways at the woman before him, his face conveying the message: one cannot lie before Buddha.
She gave a slightly awkward smile and nodded.
Before last year's fashion week.
The man specified the time so precisely, probably to remind the man in front of him.
And it's not just about being together, it's about getting married.
That's quite surprising.
He just didn't know why Luo Shu was keeping it from him.
Ye Fou: "..."
Okay, dog, you win.
