As soon as Jian Yu yawned, Huo Qizhen immediately stood up and led her back to the room.
Jian Yu nestled in Huo Qizhen's arms and said with emotion, "Thank you for letting me know that happiness can really be so simple."
Huo Qizhen gently stroked her hair and responded tenderly, "With you, my happiness is doubled."
When Jian Yu woke up, there was a steaming cup of cocoa on her bedside table.
Jian Yu leaned against the headboard, holding a cup, and looked gently towards the door. Why was Huo Qizhen always able to accurately guess when she would wake up?
Thinking of this tacit understanding and thoughtfulness filled Jian Yu's heart with happiness.
She took a small sip of cocoa, and the warmth instantly spread throughout her body, making her heart feel even warmer.
Jian Yu looked out the window and found that the sky had been covered with dark clouds, and judging from the color, a heavy rain was about to come.
If it rains heavily, today's plans to go out will have to be canceled.
The thought that yesterday's plans were going to fall through didn't make Jian Yu unhappy; instead, she felt a sense of anticipation.
Couples on TV often enjoy taking walks in the rain.
It is said that it was a very romantic thing.
Why don't she and Huo Qizhen give it a try too?
Jian Yu nodded, and the more he thought about it, the better he felt the idea was.
He carried the cup and walked outside.
Just then, Huo Qizhen pushed open the door and entered, holding a black umbrella in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face. "Jian Yu, the weather forecast says it will rain today. Shall we go for a walk? A stroll in the rain has a unique charm."
Jian Yu was both surprised and delighted, never expecting Huo Qizhen and her to be so in sync.
Before she even mentioned it, Huo Qizhen had already guessed what she was thinking.
"Okay, let's go for a walk in the rain together."
After getting dressed, the two walked out of the guesthouse hand in hand.
A light drizzle was falling from the sky, the raindrops gently landing on the umbrella, making a pleasant sound.
They strolled in the rain. The streets were deserted, and Jian Yu loved the feeling, because it seemed as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them.
Huo Qizhen held Jian Yu's hand tightly and tilted most of the umbrella toward her side, afraid that she would get wet in the rain.
Jian Yu nestled beside Huo Qizhen, feeling his warmth and care, her heart filled with contentment.
The rain gradually intensified, and Huo Qizhen's shoulders became soaked.
Jian Yu noticed this and said with concern, "Move the umbrella closer to yourself, so you don't get wet."
Huo Qizhen laughed and said, "It's alright, I'm healthy, a little rain won't hurt me. But you, don't catch a cold."
Jian Yu felt a surge of emotion and held Huo Qizhen's hand tightly. "Let's go back! I don't want to walk anymore."
Huo Qizhen knew that Jian Yu didn't want him to get wet in the rain.
He could only nod and say, "Okay."
On their way back, the two took a shortcut. As they walked through a narrow alley, Jian Yu suddenly stopped, pointed to a small shop ahead, and exclaimed with excitement, "Look at that shop! It's so cozy! Let's go in and take a look!"
Huo Qizhen looked in the direction Jian Yu was pointing and saw a quaint little shop sitting quietly in the rain, with two red lanterns hanging at the door, which looked very cozy.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
The two entered the shop and immediately saw all kinds of handicrafts displayed inside.
Jian Yu stopped in front of a counter filled with exquisite bamboo weaving. She carefully examined each piece, her eyes filled with appreciation and love.
Huo Qizhen stood behind her, quietly watching her pick through the bamboo weaving.
In the end, Jian Yu chose a small and exquisite bamboo dragonfly.
She smiled and said to Huo Qizhen, "This dragonfly is so beautiful, I want to buy it."
Huo Qizhen smiled and nodded, "Okay, if you like it, then buy it."
The rain had stopped when I left the shop.
Jian Yu looked up at the sky and said, "I thought the rain would last a long time, but it stopped in no time."
Huo Qizhen looked at the dark clouds overhead and said, "It'll probably rain again later."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yu pulled Huo Qizhen along and hurried on their way.
Huo Qizhen told Jian Yu that there was no need to rush, and that they could reach the destination before the rain started if they walked slowly.
Jian Yu then calmed down.
With an umbrella in one hand, Huo Qizhen and Jian Yu continued their stroll on the rain-soaked streets.
Jian Yu took a sniff; besides the icy chill, the air also carried the fresh scent of earth.
Jian Yu pulled down his mask and took two deep breaths.
"The air is so fresh; just smelling it makes my mind clearer."
"Then you should smell it more."
Jian Yu held up the newly bought bamboo dragonfly, unable to hide the smile on his face.
She looked up at Huo Qizhen, her eyes filled with gratitude and love.
Although Jian Yu didn't say anything, her eyes had already conveyed her thoughts to Huo Qizhen.
Huo Qizhen gently held her hand, his eyes sparkling with tenderness.
The two strolled slowly along the street, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and romance.
Although the rain had stopped, the trees on both sides of the road were still dripping water.
As Jian Yu and Huo Qizhen passed by, a gentle breeze blew by, and a large number of raindrops fell at the same time.
It hit them right on the head.
Huo Qizhen hurriedly opened the umbrella.
This caused Jian Yu to burst into laughter.
Huo Qizhen suddenly stopped and looked at Jian Yu seriously. "Jian Yu, I want to tell you something."
Jian Yu looked at him with some surprise, "What is it?"
Huo Qizhen reached out and touched Jian Yu's cheek, his voice gentle, "Jian Yu, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. No matter what changes, I will always love you and protect you."
Jian Yu was stunned; she hadn't expected Huo Qizhen to say these things at this moment.
Looking into Huo Qizhen's sincere eyes, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She hugged Huo Qizhen tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
After a while, Jian Yu blinked her teary eyes, gently pushed Huo Qizhen away, and said with a smile, "Your phone is ringing."
Huo Qizhen was secretly annoyed, "Who is it? Such a spoilsport."
When I took it out, I saw it was his assistant.
For most things, assistants will contact you via text message or email, unless it's an urgent matter.
Huo Qizhen didn't dare to delay and quickly answered the call.
"Mr. Huo, there has been a problem with the cooperation with the multinational corporation. I have sent the details to your email. Please take a look and make a decision."
"good."
Huo Qizhen grabbed Jian Yu's hand, "We have no choice but to hurry back."
Jian Yu nodded, "Okay."
After taking a couple of steps, Huo Qizhen stopped again. "I don't know how long I'll be busy. Why don't you have your bodyguard accompany you for a while longer?"
Jian Yu shook his head, "No, I'm tired after walking for so long, I should go back and rest."
"Don't you get bored?"
"Won't."
Before Huo Qizhen could say anything more, Jian Yu had already put her arm around his waist. "Alright, let's go quickly! I know your company is always very busy, and it's already difficult enough that you can take so much time to spend with me. Please don't delay your work any further."
Huo Qizhen frowned slightly, "My presence with you didn't interfere with my work."
Jian Yu nodded. "I know you haven't neglected your work because you've been secretly working overtime at night. You don't need to work overtime all night; you can work during the day too. Just keep busy as you need to, and I'll find things to do myself. You don't need to worry that I'll be unhappy."
Huo Qizhen: "Aren't you really going to be upset?"
"Won't."
"But other people's girlfriends complain that they take their work too seriously and don't spend enough time with them. More complaints lead to more arguments, and more arguments will affect the relationship."
So Huo Qizhen was worried that he wasn't spending enough time with her, which would make her unhappy and upset, affecting their relationship.
“That’s other people. I wouldn’t do that because I don’t like being too clingy.”
Huo Qizhen nodded. "I know you're not clingy, it's me who wants to be clingy."
Jian Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if I went back to keep you company?"
Huo Qizhen nodded, "Okay. I was just worried you'd get bored at home."
"Won't."
Jian Yu actually quite enjoys being alone in peace and quiet.
Huo Qizhen looked at Jian Yu, his eyes filled with doting affection and helplessness, "Then let's go!"
Huo Qizhen would be busy for four or five hours at a time, and if Jian Yu hadn't been watching over him, he would have even forgotten to eat lunch.
The problem is still unresolved.
Assistant: "Mr. Huo, why don't you come back and handle this?"
Huo Qizhen: "We'll see!"
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yu walked over and hugged Huo Qizhen's neck from behind. "Let's go home! I miss the snacks at home."
