Chapter 61: Fighting with the Fake White Lotus (Twenty-Five)
When the window was opened, the moisture instantly dispelled the heat lingering around. Yu Huo used his palm as a fan and exaggeratedly fanned his cheeks.
When the heat subsided, the person behind me suddenly asked, "Would you like some water?"
Yu Huo nodded and turned back.
Jiang Feng stood by the bed, unscrewed the lid and handed him the bottle of water.
Yu Huo drank about half of the bottle, then looked at the bottle cap in Jiang Feng's hand and handed the bottle back.
During the transfer, Jiang Feng's cell phone vibrated. He didn't catch the bottle firmly, and with a loud splash, the bedding that Yu Huo had just laid out was soaked by one third.
“…”
Jiang Feng looked at the white palm in front of him, his long eyelashes trembling helplessly, and he apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Outside the window, the sun was setting behind the clouds, casting an orange glow into the house. The light quietly fell on the boy's profile, making half of his face look pretty and well-behaved.
With such a sharp contrast, the half face facing away from the light seemed to have gone to extremes, with long shadows falling on the eyelids, and the gentleness was no longer there.
Yu Huo narrowed his eyes: “You didn’t mean to do that;
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and to prove his innocence, he raised his phone: "How could you think of me like that? I forgot to turn off the alarm clock just now, and when I was distracted by the phone, I accidentally knocked over the bottle..."
This scene looked strangely familiar, as if it was exactly the same as when he was framed for cheating.
"It's a lie."
How could he possibly be fooled again after knowing Bai Lianhua's true character?!
"Just now the valve broke, and now the bottled water has spilled. How could I not know what you were thinking? We're in a serious relationship, so there's no need for these conspiracies and tricks, right? If you don't ask, how do you know I don't want to?"
The smile on the young man in front of him froze, and his handsome face was filled with mixed emotions, slowly showing a hint of confusion.
He used to be very poor, so poor that he studied very hard for the limited scholarships. He was so poor that he had to pretend to be good and rack his brains to squeeze out other competitors for the money that was less than a box of candy.
In his opinion, if he gives others the opportunity to choose, his own room for choice will be reduced accordingly. If he wants to get something he likes, the best development is to leave the other party with no choice.
Because there is only one option for the question, there is no trial and error rate.
After a while, he suddenly drooped his eyelids, and his long eyelashes were like a butterfly trying to move forward in the wind, struggling and hopeless.
Then he spoke, his voice so hoarse and low that it was almost inaudible.
He said, "But... Yu Huo, I'm just like that. This habit has been ingrained in me for a long time, and I can't change it in a short time."
The person in front of him seemed to have taken off the mask covering his face with his own hands at this moment, but Yu Huo did not feel proud of his "victory". He only felt that his throat was inexplicably dry, so dry that he could not utter a word, and so dry that even the scenery in front of him was obscured by the mist, distorted and chaotic.
After a few seconds of silence, he looked away: "I didn't ask you to change..."
"So will you join me today? Just sleep. I promise I won't do anything else."
Jiang Feng asked cautiously, perhaps afraid that he would not agree, and even added a sentence.
As a man, how could Yu Huo not know the value of this additional condition?
However, the bedding was already wet, and asking to move to another room now would be like slapping myself in the face.
But promise...
Why does he feel like he's been fooled again?!
Yu Huo looked suspiciously at the young man not far away. This sudden glance happened to meet the other person's sneaky gaze, and then he was forced to look away like a guilty thief.
"I'm going to turn on the air conditioner in my room. It's been a while since I used it, so I need to get rid of the smell first."
At this time, Bai Lianhua lost her gloominess and became more graceful, with her facial features becoming more charming and delicate in the orange halo.
He left the guest bedroom without answering Huo.
This gesture further solidified Yu Huo's suspicion.
Come, let’s review it.
He was deceived by Bai Lianhua → he was very annoyed → he was sarcastic → Bai Lianhua began to feel depressed → Bai Lianhua deliberately said some nonsense to make him feel distressed → then he got carried away and announced that he would tolerate the other party's bad habits → and then it was over.
“…”
From this we can conclude: Never feel sorry for a man!
Yu Huo clicked his tongue, raised his hand and slammed the half-open window shut, his eyes filled with hostility.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Jiang Feng didn't mention studying the entire evening, and then he took out a crucian carp from the refrigerator.
"Yu Huo, do you eat fish?"
Yu Huo, who was sitting in the living room leaning over and watching TV, took a quick glance, then suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and asked loudly, "Are you cooking?"
Jiang Feng nodded and took out a small bag of angelica from the drawer: "How about stir-frying two dishes and stewing some angelica and crucian carp soup?"
He hummed subconsciously, then remembered the soup the guy brought two days ago: "Did you make the soup two days ago? Can you cook?"
"Yes." Jiang Feng skillfully scraped the scales off the fish. "I used to cook for myself."
Yu Huo raised an eyebrow: "Then what time do you want to get up and start stewing the soup?"
Jiang Feng pretended to be hardworking and willing to work hard: "Around four in the morning."
However, the person who asked the question did not show the expected expression of being moved. Instead, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and his gaze returned to the TV screen.
It's... quite unexpected.
But since I met Yu Huo, this kind of accident seems to be quite common?
Jiang Feng stopped worrying and focused on processing the ingredients in his hands.
Yu Huo over there didn't actually think about anything else, he just complained about the rich nightlife of this guy.
I didn't expect that after getting up from his bed, he not only went to class, but also found time to come back and make some soup?
Awesome!
They lived a peaceful life here, but Srirosa became strangely lively under the cover of night.
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, muffled thunder boomed in the clouds, and dark shadows quickly moved through the deserted alleys.
The man holding the silver cross retreated to the wall, glaring fiercely at the attackers who kept approaching him.
The blood on his wrist dripped onto the uneven stone bricks and was gradually washed away by the rain. However, the spreading smell made the eyes of several attackers red. They were no longer afraid of the silver in his hand and approached him tentatively.
Just when he was concentrating all his attention on how to hunt down these attackers, a sound of breaking wind came from behind him. The next second, his wrist shook violently, and he felt a numbing sensation from being struck by lightning. He found that he seemed unable to hold the weapon in his hand. In just a few seconds, the cross-shaped sharp knife fell to the ground with a clang.
He subconsciously looked back and saw a member of the law enforcement team wearing a crimson cloak standing on the wall, looking down at him condescendingly.
It was also at this moment that the aggressive attackers swarmed in, and his limbs were pierced by sharp teeth at the same time, and his screams were drowned out by the thunder.
