Chapter 158 "I've been looking forward to it...waiting for you to wear it for me to see."
Having his thoughts directly exposed, Ji Huaishen was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he was frank to the point of being outrageous.
He met her "accusing" gaze and nodded in agreement without hesitation, his eyes burning and frank:
"Yeah. I want to see it."
"What do you want to see?" Wen Duo asked without hesitation.
But as soon as he asked, Wen Duo immediately understood.
Sure enough, Ji Huaishen answered immediately:
"I want to see you in a swimsuit."
Wen Duo didn't expect him to admit it so readily, and her face suddenly turned even redder:
"You...pervert!"
Ji Huaishen, however, became more aggressive and leaned forward slightly, getting close to her red earlobe. In a whisper that only the two of them could hear, he reminded her word by word:
"There are still two sets in your closet that you haven't worn yet."
His eyes were affectionate and passionate, and he did not hide his expectation:
"I've been looking forward to it...waiting for you to wear it for me to see."
Wen Duo's scalp tingled and her heart beat irregularly at his straightforward yet expectant words.
She didn't expect that he could express such thoughts so confidently and...affectionately.
Of course she knew that Ji Huaishen had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Ever since he bought the swimsuit, Ji Huaishen has been looking forward to it until now.
She really wanted to show it to Ji Huaishen, but now was not the right time.
She lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a hint of indulgence and compromise that she herself didn't even notice:
"Well... we have to wait until your wound heals before we can talk about it..."
To Ji Huaishen, this sentence was tantamount to an active invitation.
"Okay." Ji Huaishen responded in a low and hoarse voice.
Wen Duo felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze and turned away hurriedly, trying to dispel the atmosphere that made her heart beat faster.
Her eyes drifted to the end of the corridor, and she suddenly remembered one of the places he had just listed.
Wen Duo pulled Ji Huaishen's sleeve and said:
"I...I want to go to the greenhouse. Please take me there!"
Ji Huaishen looked at her shy and forced calmness, and his heart softened.
He nodded obediently, and very naturally took her cool and soft hand again, interlocking their fingers.
"good."
He responded, his voice so gentle that water could drip out:
"I'll take you there."
........
The constant temperature greenhouse was a bit far away, so Ji Huaishen took Wen Duo for a long walk.
Ji Huaishen's hand tightly wrapped around hers, and his fingertips would occasionally unconsciously stroke the back of her hand, causing a subtle but clear tremor.
Wen Duo's heartbeat had completely calmed down, and she could only look around, not daring to look at the man beside her.
However, his presence was so strong that even without saying a word, his focused gaze seemed to be tangible, falling on the side of her face, making her ears continue to burn.
"It's just ahead." Ji Huaishen's low voice sounded, with a subtle hint of guidance.
Wen Duo looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a huge glass door with black metal patterns appearing at the end of the corridor.
Inside the door, you can vaguely see lush greenery and colorful colors.
The moment you open the door, moist and fragrant air hits you in the face, mixed with the fragrance of various flowers and the slight fishy smell of soil, it smells very good.
Wen Duo couldn't help but take a deep breath. Her attention was instantly attracted by the scene in front of her, and she forgot her previous shyness.
This is not an indoor greenhouse, it's actually a small botanical garden!
The light simulated from fluorescent lamps pours down, nourishing everything that is vibrant underneath.
The plants are not arranged in a regular pattern, but are cleverly divided into zones to create landscapes. There are rockery and flowing water, and wooden plank roads weaving through them. Various rare flowers and green plants grow in an orderly manner. There is even a small hanging orchid waterfall with star-like, jade-white flowers blooming.
“So beautiful…”
Wen Duo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, looking around with sparkling eyes, and subconsciously let go of Ji Huaishen's hand. Like a butterfly attracted by the fragrance of flowers, she stepped lightly into the flower path.
His palms felt empty, and Ji Huaishen frowned slightly, but when he saw her back suddenly jumping for joy, that bit of dissatisfaction turned into an indulgent smile.
He followed her slowly, his eyes following her all the time.
Wen Duo shuttled among the flowers, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became.
Almost all flowers of the four seasons are gathered here, including crabapples in spring, roses in summer, osmanthus in autumn, and even a few proudly blooming red plum trees, stretching their branches in the simulated low temperature zone.
She walked around for a long time, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned around and looked at Ji Huaishen who had been following behind her silently. She blinked and asked curiously:
"It's so strange. There are all kinds of flowers here, but why are there no chrysanthemums?"
Ji Huaishen paused slightly, a hint of complexity flashed in his deep eyes, and then he regained his composure.
"I'm allergic to chrysanthemums." He said in a flat tone.
Wen Duo opened her eyes wide in surprise:
"Chrysanthemum allergy? Is it pollen allergy or..."
"I'm simply allergic to the chrysanthemum plant." Ji Huaishen replied.
"Is that so..." Wen Duo nodded seriously.
Chrysanthemum allergy.
What a rare allergy!
She always heard of people being allergic to pollen, but had never heard of anyone being allergic only to chrysanthemums.
"Um,"
Ji Huaishen nodded slightly, his voice low:
"If you like, you can wait until the storm is over and have someone buy some."
He said it lightly, but Wen Duo knew that with his character, once he said it, he would definitely do it.
Even if it meant he might be uncomfortable.
She felt a sweet feeling in her heart, mixed with a little heartache, and quickly shook her head:
"Never mind, I don't particularly like chrysanthemums. There are so many beautiful flowers here, I'm overwhelmed."
Ji Huaishen stared at her, his eyes deep and focused.
"Really?" he confirmed, taking a step forward and closing the distance between them.
Wen Duo could smell the refreshing fragrance on his body, which intertwined with the rich floral scent around him, forming a unique and heart-pounding smell.
She looked up at him, her heartbeat accelerating involuntarily, but she still shook her head firmly:
"Really, no need. I don't want anything in my house that you're allergic to."
Home?
The corners of Ji Huaishen's lips rose slightly.
He likes this word.
"good,"
His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of promise:
"I'll listen to you and not leave it at home."
Wen Duo turned around and continued to look at the plants. She sighed as she walked:
"There's such a big greenhouse inside..."
"I made it a little bigger because I thought you would like it." Ji Huaishen replied.
Wen Duo snorted proudly, bent down, and approached a rose in full bloom with petals layered like a skirt. She sniffed it carefully, her eyebrows curved.
She was wearing a light apricot dress today, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements. Surrounded by flowers, she was more beautiful than any of them.
Ji Huaishen leaned against a lush olive tree and watched the scene quietly.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the glass and leaves, casting mottled shadows on his chiseled face, making the emotions in his deep eyes appear even more intense.
So beautiful...
