After passing through two side courtyards, they arrived at the spacious garden, where Sun Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.
This is so beautiful.
In the past, the most common thing they saw in their private rooms was rose petals, some of which even had an aphrodisiac scent and were specially soaked.
But this place is like a paradise on earth.
The fragrance is light and delicate, and the flowers and colors are elegant and harmonious. The garden plants are carefully maintained by the owner, and even their shapes are free of any unnecessary sharp edges.
Li Hao's parents died in a car accident. He had been living with his aunt since he was a child and often came here, so he didn't think there was anything special about it.
Beauty is undeniable, but it didn't strike him as anything new.
But Sun Xiaoxiao seemed to have discovered some breathtaking scenery, glancing here and there.
Sometimes, after looking at them for a while, I can't help but raise my hand to touch the petals.
She felt as if she were in heaven, a paradise on earth. The pure and natural atmosphere here made her feel a huge sense of disillusionment.
Even though he was dressed in all white, it couldn't hide the filth on his body.
Thinking of this, she frowned.
"Click".
The quiet atmosphere was broken by the soft click of a camera shutter.
“Aunt!” Li Hao’s voice was a little more serious.
Li Hao's aunt stood to the side, raised her camera, and grinned brightly. "Sorry, Xiaoxiao, I couldn't help it. You looked so beautiful just now."
She was somewhat playful, not at all like a middle-aged woman, with lively wrinkles and a smile on her face.
"You know, Xiao Hao, I'm a photographer, I can't miss beautiful moments."
She shrugged helplessly, and Li Hao also felt somewhat helpless.
I don't know how to explain it, but Sun Xiaoxiao is different from the models she usually photographs; her photos cannot be circulated.
“Aunt, you can keep the photo to yourself and not show it to others. I’m sorry, her identity is somewhat special.”
Hearing him say that meant he agreed to continue filming.
So Li Hao wisely prepared to leave, and Sun Xiaoxiao asked, "Where are you going..."
She spoke instinctively, her voice growing softer and softer towards the end.
Then he remembered to explain, "Your aunt is a photographer, she wants to take your picture. You'll feel uncomfortable with me here, won't you?"
He grew up with his aunt and was used to being chased away.
I instinctively prepared to leave.
Sun Xiaoxiao didn't think so. With Li Hao around, she wasn't so nervous, after all, it was an unfamiliar environment.
Moreover, he would have to be alone with his elders.
Auntie noticed something was wrong and spoke up, "It's alright, Xiaohao, you can stay here. I don't think Xiaoxiao is too nervous meeting people. It's an unfamiliar environment after all, and you might be able to handle it better if you're here. You can help me out."
So, an hour of the flower-viewing activity was spent taking photos.
Sun Xiaoxiao's movements were initially stiff, but she became much more natural after being manipulated by her aunt.
But the first one still looks better no matter what.
Aunt Li Hao left after she had finished taking photos.
The courtyard has quieted down again.
Li Hao: "Sorry, they were just too enthusiastic."
This extra incident was indeed not his arrangement.
Sun Xiaoxiao never expected that someone of his status would apologize to her, and subconsciously bowed to him in return.
As she bent over, her forehead bumped into the back of his hand.
"Alright, I see you're not as natural as you were the first two times we met."
His casual remark reminded Sun Xiaoxiao of the two previous quiet and awkward scenes, and a blush crept onto her face.
Then she immediately turned her back, not wanting him to see her.
She thought to herself that this man only looked like a gentleman, but was actually a super straight man.
But she was still happy. Without Li Hao, she might never have been able to see such a view in her entire life.
Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she squatted down in front of the small flower bed, trying to calm herself down.
She remembers that the biggest taboo in this line of work is developing feelings for customers.
I composed myself and prepared to get up.
A thick suit jacket suddenly fell onto his shoulder.
It was imbued with the scent of the man and the unique, refreshing fragrance of the flowers in the garden.
Slightly startled, she turned around and saw Li Hao standing behind her.
"Keep it on, it's going to rain soon, I'll take you home."
He spoke in a calm tone, saying words that were deeply moving, but suddenly the sky darkened.
Summer in Jiangcheng is characterized by heavy rainfall.
She stared blankly at the expensive gemstone stud on the shoulder of her suit.
I suddenly remembered Zheng Zhonglai's words, "Don't you want to leave?"
But can the person in front of me really take me away?
She shook her head. After squatting for so long, her head felt a little congested when she stood up, so she grabbed the man's strong forearm as a fulcrum.
"Thanks."
Li Hao looked at her with a more scrutinizing gaze.
Why did you suddenly make that expression?
Before leaving, Li Hao's aunt had already developed and printed the photos and chased after him with them.
"Don't rush, this is for you, Xiaoxiao. I took a lot of photos, but I still think this one is the best. Keep it as a souvenir! Come back here with Xiaohao sometime, and I'll tell you, he's never brought a girl here before!"
After saying that, he stuffed the photo in his hand into hers.
Sun Xiaoxiao knew what she had misunderstood and wanted to explain.
"us……"
"Aunt, what are you saying! Go inside quickly, it's going to rain. I'll come to see you again in a couple of days."
"That's what you say! How long has it been since you last came here?! Ugh!! You little brat..."
What followed was concealed by Li Hao's gentle push that led her inside.
Watching their interaction, Sun Xiaoxiao was shocked to realize that the life she had never dared to dream of was actually so ordinary for them.
