Chapter 125: The taciturn man

When Shen Jinyan came knocking on the door, Sheng Yao found a bottle of osmanthus wine in the wine cabinet in the room and was happily drinking it with Chu Shuang.

When she heard the knock on the door, she thought it was room service. When she opened the door, she saw a tall and slender man holding an exquisite bamboo basket in his hand.

Seeing that it was him, Sheng Yao pulled the collar of his bathrobe and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'll bring you and Ah Shuang some midnight snack."

Glancing at the basket filled with exquisite Chinese snacks, Sheng Yao said, "Thank you."

She took the basket and was about to leave when Shen Jinyan stopped her.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Do you want to go for a walk in the garden?"

Sheng Yao paused, "I still need to have a midnight snack..."

"That's Ah Shuang's. I'll keep yours for you. Let's go downstairs and eat together."

Chu Shuang saw Sheng Yao lingering at the door for so long and called out, "Yao Yao, who is that?"

Shen Jinyan stared at Sheng Yao and said softly, "Go change your clothes. I'll wait for you."

After entering the house, Sheng Yao placed the snacks on the balcony low table, "Midnight snack."

"Who sent it?"

Sheng Yao pursed her lips, "Room service."

Seeing Sheng Yao go into the bathroom and change out of his bathrobe, Chu Shuang was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"I've had too much to drink. I'm going to go out for some fresh air and find some delicious food for you from the kitchen."

Chu Shuang looked at the snacks in the basket in front of her. There were already so many of them, but she didn't expose her.

"Okay, go ahead."

After the people left, a smile appeared on Chu Shuang's face.

The garden was very quiet, with insects chirping in the bushes, a gentle night breeze, and a bright moon. It was indeed a rare moonlit night.

A man and a woman walked quietly, and no one spoke at first.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two people moved slowly along the path on the ground. There was a little distance between them, and only occasionally their shadows would overlap for a moment.

After waiting for a while without seeing him speak, Sheng Yao felt a little annoyed. He said he was going to take a walk, so did he really just want to take a walk?

He is such a taciturn person who values ​​words very much.

She did not walk side by side with him, but deliberately quickened her pace and walked ahead of him.

As they walked, the distance between them became farther and farther. Shen Jinyan said slowly, "The weather has warmed up. The vegetation here is deep and dense. Be careful when you walk and don't step on snakes."

The man who was walking leisurely suddenly slowed down his pace after hearing his words. He subconsciously looked at the cobblestone road under his feet and then at the bushes beside him, and his spine went numb.

She is most afraid of that thing.

The rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the grass also made her feel eerie.

Shen Jinyan walked forward and said, "There is a stone table in front. Sit down and have your midnight snack first."

The moonlight reflected on the smooth stone table, which looked white from a distance. It was quite refreshing to eat in the garden under the moonlight late at night.

Sheng Yao sat down and waited for Shen Jinyan to open the midnight snack in her hand. She originally thought it was a dessert or something like that, but it turned out to be a lotus leaf chicken.

"You...why did you bring a chicken for supper?"

"Remember you don't like desserts that much, this lotus leaf chicken is specially brought for you."

Sheng Yao was a little amused.

"It's so late, I'll get fat if I eat this."

"I just told the kitchen to control the oil intake. You won't gain weight if you eat less."

Under the bright moonlight, the man was handsome and cool, with a kind of detached independence and calmness. He spoke slowly and calmly, which made people feel at ease and peaceful.

It is said that there is a special charm in looking at a beauty under the moon, and the same is true for looking at him under the moon.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the waves in her heart were calmed down.
