Chapter 23: The House Collapsed
Although Su Yan has never had a boyfriend, she is not a fool and can understand the meaning of He Ji's words.
She didn't want to move around, but it was too hot, so hot that she wanted to throw off the quilt and go outside to get some cool air.
He Ji: ...
grass
In the middle of winter, she already feels too hot, so how can she let me hug her in the middle of summer?
It seems that I need to buy two more air conditioners, as one will definitely not be enough.
He gritted his teeth and refused to let the person go. He moved towards the wall and kicked the window open.
A cold wind blew in, instantly dissipating most of the warmth in the room. Feeling the sudden shiver of the person in his arms, He Ji patted her back and asked with a smile, "Are you still feeling hot now?"
It was so cold, and it was night time. How could the room be warm even if he opened the window?
Not only did Su Yan not feel hot now, she also felt a chill on her back. Only when his big hands touched her did she feel warmth.
She didn't dare to move again. He Ji, who had originally wanted to use her misbehavior as an excuse to attack her, was now so angry that his teeth were about to break.
This broken pit was as hard as cement. He wanted to force himself on the child but was afraid of hurting him.
Just wait and see how he makes up for it when he gets back. If this kid can get out of bed within three days, his name will be written upside down.
Lying in the man's arms, Su Yan thought she would not be able to sleep, but unexpectedly, surrounded by his breath, all the insecurity in her heart was dispelled, and she fell asleep soon.
He Ji was not sleepy, so he looked at the child in his arms in the light coming in from the window.
He squinted his eyes and sighed that the child was so handsome, even prettier than a celebrity.
This little mouth tastes very sweet, and the waist is very thin, as if it is not even as big as his palm.
His eyes were indeed very sharp. After just a few glances, he knew that she was a treasure and acted decisively.
This kind of stubborn and naive child should be taken home and treated well.
He kept looking until midnight. Just when his eyes were sore and he wanted to close them to rest, the house made a creaking sound.
Fine dust fell from the roof, and the roof began to sway slightly in the night wind.
Hearing the obvious sound of the roof beam breaking, He Ji frowned, turned over, and without even having time to put on his shoes, he carried Su Yan and the quilt out the door.
He ran to the flat ground outside the door and just took a few breaths when the dilapidated house shook helplessly a few times and suddenly collapsed before his eyes.
The loud noise of the house collapsing frightened the child in her arms.
He Ji stepped back a few meters to avoid the flying dust, and then pulled the struggling child's head out.
She was sleeping soundly, but then there was a shaking and a loud bang. Even if Su Yan was a pig, she couldn't sleep anymore.
She poked her little head out from under the quilt and looked at the house, which had become a ruin, with a dazed expression.
He Ji ruffled her messy hair and smiled, "Even if you don't want to go back with me this time, you can't."
Although it was not right to think so, he still had to sigh that the house collapsed at the wrong time.
He had originally wanted to help find someone to replace her, but now, all the problems had disappeared because of the collapsed room.
"It's a good thing I'm here. If I hadn't been here, you would have been smashed to death or become stupid today."
Su Yan blinked as his teasing voice brought her back to her senses. After a moment of fear, she turned to look at He Ji and pouted, "I was scared."
Her tone was calm and her eyes were clear, and it was obvious that she had calmed down. He Ji gritted his teeth and lowered his head to gently touch her forehead.
"Little girl, you usually want to run away when you see me, but when you encounter something like this that could kill someone, you're not afraid anymore. You're using all your little courage on me, right?"
Su Yan pursed her lips and didn't respond to him.
It’s not that she wasn’t afraid, it’s just that the incident had already happened and she felt safe, so naturally she no longer thought about how dangerous it was before.
"My things are still in there. Will my phone be broken too?" After two minutes of silence, Su Yan remembered that all her things were in there.
Not only is she only wearing one piece of clothing, she doesn't even have shoes.
And that two thousand yuan cell phone, even though she has used it for five or six years, she would still feel bad if it got crushed.
“Where is the phone?”
"In the cabinet on the kang."
He Ji looked at the location of the cabinet. Although it had also fallen over, the cabinet was obviously not damaged, and a corner was exposed.
"Your phone is fine, but mine may not be." He Ji snorted.
Looking at the angle of his jaw that was tense from gritting his teeth, Su Yan silently retracted her head into the quilt.
"I have no money left. You can't ask me to pay you back, or I'll be starving."
Listening to the soft female voice coming from under the quilt, He Ji was so angry that he laughed. Does he look like the kind of man who would ask a woman for money?
Not to mention a broken cell phone, even if a car was smashed, he wouldn't blink an eye.
"If I don't ask you to pay, just put your heart back in your stomach."
He Ji replied, then found a relatively clean place to put Su Yan down and helped her tuck in the quilt. "Just sit here obediently. I'll go see if there's anything else I can use. We'll go back at daybreak."
The house had collapsed, so Su Yan naturally had no reason to stay. She rolled up the quilt and nodded obediently.
Su Yan's eyesight was not as good as He Ji's, and there was no moon today, so she could see even less clearly.
After He Ji walked away, she could only see a blurry figure.
He Ji took out the bag he had brought and went to look for Su Yan's suitcase, only to find that it was empty.
He threw the broken suitcase aside and went to the cabinet to get his cell phone and wallet. After coming out, he squatted in front of Su Yan.
After cleaning the squashed shoes, he patted the little head hiding under the quilt and said, "Put your feet out."
The corner of the quilt was pressed under her buttocks. Su Yan struggled twice, but couldn't stretch her feet out. She took a deep breath, arched her head upwards, and rubbed his palm, "I can't stretch my feet out!"
Her tone and actions were full of coquettishness. He Ji gritted his teeth, and the light in his eyes seemed to be full of cruelty.
This little troublemaker is so cunning that he doesn't even choose where to seduce people. In this situation, can he untie his belt?
Thinking of her voice which was sweeter than marshmallow, He Ji rubbed his chest hard, trying to scratch the itch in his heart, but the more he rubbed, the more itchy it became.
"Grass!"
He really couldn't help it, and cursed, then reached out and hugged the person in his arms, pulled open the quilt a little, and pulled out the foot that was not even as big as his palm.
The slender white feet were particularly conspicuous among his palms covered with black dust. The whiteness that had not seen the sun for a long time reflected an attractive luster in the dim night.
He Ji's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he clenched his five fingers and pinched Su Yan's feet tightly.
"Kid, on this dark and windy night, it shouldn't be too much for me to just bite your foot, right?"
