Chapter 70 You Always Lie
The person in his arms was breathing steadily, showing no signs of waking up.
Fu Chuji took a deep breath and carefully took her hand away from him.
He got up from the bed and walked to the balcony. Jiangcheng had recently entered winter rapidly, and here in the mountains, the cold wind at night was biting and chilling on his body, but it just soothed the heat in his heart.
He returned to the room, took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and returned to the balcony. He lit one, held it between his slender fingers, and just watched it burn out bit by bit.
He had hardly touched this thing in the past few years, but now the development of the situation was somewhat out of his control, and he inevitably felt a little irritated and uneasy.
It was ridiculous that he was worried about her discovering his identity.
Shen Nuo was awakened by the cold. When she woke up, she found herself twisted into a pretzel on the bed and sleeping on the other side of the bed. The other person on the bed had disappeared.
Maybe because she had been walking all day, her calves were very sore.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, only to find that there was smoke outside the balcony and there seemed to be a vague figure.
Shen Nuo turned over and got out of bed, tiptoed to the balcony door, and through the transparent door, she saw Fu Chuji sitting there. In the smoke, his profile was a little blurry and she couldn't see his expression clearly.
He noticed something and turned his head to look at her.
Shen Nuo pushed open the door and a gust of wind rushed in, making her shiver with cold. She quickly closed the door again.
She asked through the door, looking puzzled: "Why are you pretending to be so deep here in the middle of the night when you are still awake?"
Fu Chuji: "..."
He put out the cigarette in his hand and said calmly, "I have to ask you this."
Shen Nuo immediately denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do anything to you."
It was still a little inconvenient to talk through the door, so she took her coat and put it on, then pushed the door open and went out to sit next to him.
She fanned the smoke in the air with her hand in disgust, then glanced at the cigarette butts on the table, frowned and said, "How long have you been here?"
She looked at the time. It was already four in the morning. Could he have been sitting here all night?
"Not long."
Shen Nuo didn't believe his nonsense, she asked tentatively: "So...what happened to you?"
"Nothing." He lowered his eyes, his expression cold.
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Shen Nuo patted his shoulder and tried to persuade him earnestly: "There is no hurdle in life that cannot be overcome. Look at you, you are so young, so handsome, and so rich. You have already surpassed most people."
“Oh, compared to you.”
Shen Nuo raised her eyebrows, cleared her throat and said, "Of course it's still not as good as mine, but I'm just lucky. I was born...ah no, I was born into a good family."
Fu Chuji raised his eyelids and suggested seriously, "If this is how you comfort people, then I suggest you shut up."
"Tsk, your kindness is taken for granted."
Shen Nuo spread his hands: "What can I do? Maybe I did a lot of good things in my previous life."
Fu Chuji: "You mean I committed murder and arson in my previous life?"
“…”
Shen Nuo picked up the lighter on the table and played with it twice. She stretched out her hand to him and said, "Give me one."
"No more." He said in a light tone.
Shen Nuo didn't believe it, so she reached into his pocket and found a cigarette box.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Who are you trying to fool? You have it yourself, but I don't have it when I want it. You can't be so hypocritical."
Fu Chuji watched her take out a cigarette, light it up with some clumsy movements, then put it in her mouth and took a cautious sip. He was immediately choked and started coughing.
He snatched the cigarette from her hand and said in a cold tone, "If you don't know how to do it, don't try to be brave."
"What's with me saying I'm showing off? I'm just trying something new." Shen Nuo said stubbornly.
“That’s what good things are called, trying new things.”
He put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it on the table.
Shen Nuo: "Since you know it's not good, why do you smoke?"
Looking at her dark and bright eyes, he chuckled. So she was waiting here.
"I didn't smoke," he said.
"Oh, you mean you just lit it and didn't smoke it," she said sarcastically.
Who would believe this if I told others?
He sat casually on the chair, raised his lips and looked at her with a smile: "If you don't believe me, why don't you try it?"
Shen Nuo looked puzzled: "How can this be..."
Before she could finish her words, a pair of hands pressed her shoulders and kissed her.
The kiss came a little hastily, and his movements were not gentle. He pried open her teeth a little roughly.
His calloused fingertips caressed the tender skin on her face, and the strange touch made her tremble slightly.
He pinched her chin with some dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice with a slight breath: "Respond to me."
Shen Nuo hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged his waist, taking the initiative to deepen the kiss, trying to respond to him.
He placed his hands on her waist a little tighter, and the force seemed to knead her into her bones and blood.
It was unknown how long it took before Fu Chuji slowly let her go.
His originally light-colored lips turned crimson, and his usually cold and delicate face was tinged with lust.
His voice was slightly hoarse: "How about it, do you believe it now?"
Shen Nuo didn't dare to look at him, her eyes wandering: "Who knows, the smell of cigarettes in my mouth has also reached your mouth."
Fu Chuji said calmly: "Then do it again."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nuo subconsciously took a half step back. She laughed dryly and said, "No, no, no, I believe you, isn't that enough? Besides, it's late at night, we're alone, and the situation is very tense..."
"What's the problem?"
Fu Chuji lowered his eyes and tapped his fingers on his legs: "Am I not the canary you kept?"
“…”
"You said before that you wanted to get familiar with it more. I think it's almost done. What do you think?"
“…”
Shen Nuo was speechless for a moment. She looked up and wanted to make up a story, but she met Fu Chuji's slightly mocking eyes and instantly realized that he was deliberately teasing her.
She immediately felt a bit of a competitive spirit. She put her hand on his face and smiled, "I admit that you are quite pretty, but unfortunately I have no interest in you right now, so don't even think about becoming a concubine who brings disaster to the country."
He grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you interested in me or someone else?"
His voice was a little colder and his eyes were dark.
Shen Nuo immediately became timid. She said, "Don't I spend all my time with you when I'm free? Don't you know best if there's anyone else?"
Fu Chuji pinched her fingers and said in an unclear tone: "Who knows how much truth there is in your mouth? You always lie."
