Chapter 67 Red Tide
Hearing the hidden meaning of Gu Huaichen's words, Lin Youning's breathing stagnated slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled. She turned to look at him uncertainly, "You mean, will you help me put it on?"
Gu Huaichen responded, his eyes as deep as a pool.
Lin Youning's heartbeat quickened, and she pursed her lips nervously, "Isn't it inconvenient in the car?"
"Is there?" Gu Huaichen asked.
It takes more than 40 minutes to get back to Yun Gu Mansion from the Gu family's old house even if there is no traffic jam.
During this long and boring period, it seems possible to let Gu Huaichen help me try on the earrings.
Thinking of this, Lin Youning handed the box to him and whispered, "Then be careful, I'm afraid of pain."
Gu Huaichen paused for a moment and said, "I know."
"Ah?" Lin Youning was surprised and asked subconsciously, "Know what?"
Gu Huaichen looked at her, his eyes narrowed, "Afraid of pain."
Lin Youning: “…”
Involuntarily, some beautiful pictures emerged in my mind.
Lin Youning's ears felt hot, and she glared at Gu Huaichen shyly, "Hurry up."
Gu Huaichen curled his lips, raised the car's interior barrier, opened the small table in the car, put the box down, and took out one of the earrings.
The lights above the rear compartment were turned on, but the light was not bright. The lights inside the car were yellowish, creating a vague, ambiguous atmosphere.
Lin Youning lowered her eyes and looked at the earrings that Gu Huaichen had taken. He had long fingers and the kind of pale skin that most people dream of, which formed a sharp contrast with the dark blue earrings.
Gu Huaichen didn't seem to notice Lin Youning's abnormality. He raised his hand and lifted the hair beside Lin Youning's ear and tucked it behind her ear. Then, he gently pinched her ear with his rough fingertips. The moment he pinched it, Lin Youning felt an electric current rushing through her body, her breathing tightened, and she had an indescribable feeling.
"What are you doing..." Before I could finish a few words after pinching my ear, Gu Huaichen said, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning took a steady breath and pretended to be calm, "What?"
Gu Huaichen admired her ears which immediately turned red, and raised the corners of his lips, "Your ears turn red very quickly."
Lin Youning: “…”
She closed her eyes, feeling that Gu Huaichen did it on purpose.
"If you don't pinch it, it won't turn red." Lin Youning argued cunningly.
Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
"Of course!"
"I remember a few days ago in the office..." Gu Huaichen reminded her slowly. Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Lin Youning glared at him, "Are you still going to wear it?"
Gu Huaichen: “…”
Seeing her embarrassed look, he knew very well that if he continued teasing her, Lin Youning might jump out of the car and run away.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaichen suppressed his laughter and said, "Wear it."
Lin Youning snorted, "Hurry up."
She hadn't realized at all that, now when facing Gu Huaichen, she was acting more and more like Miss Lin in the past.
She seemed not to be afraid of Gu Huaichen anymore.
The earrings are inlaid with gemstones and diamonds and have a certain weight.
Gu Huaichen's fingers were tangled due to various reasons for signing. Although it was not obvious, it inevitably gave Lin Youning a subtle feeling when it touched her soft skin.
She concentrated quietly, feeling Gu Huaichen holding the earrings and inserting them through her ear holes and putting them on.
After putting one on, Lin Youning breathed a sigh of relief.
She finally put it on. If Gu Huaichen didn't put it on properly for her, she would have wanted to quit her job.
The car fell into silence, and Gu Huaichen's fingers were still lingering around her ears.
Lin Youning was puzzled and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"
Gu Huaichen narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark blue earrings hanging on her rosy ears.
For no reason, he sensed something different.
After a three-second silence, Gu Huaichen said, "Blue suits you very well."
"?"
Lin Youning was startled and said subconsciously, "There is no color that is unsuitable for me."
This may sound a bit narcissistic, but it is also the truth.
Lin Youning is beautiful, fair-skinned and in good shape. She can handle jewelry and clothes of any color.
Even if the design of the clothes is ugly, she can still wear it in a different way.
After saying this, the rear compartment became quiet again.
Lin Youning was slightly embarrassed and asked uncomfortably, "Why are you silent?"
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He knew what Lin Youning meant, raised his hand and pinched his brow, saying, "Mrs. Gu is right."
Lin Youning: "You are so perfunctory."
But it was enough that Gu Huaichen was just being perfunctory with her.
"Please help me put on the other one too." Lin Youning began to make a request.
Gu Huaichen did as he was told.
It was the ear mask near the car window, and Gu Huaichen had to wear it, so Lin Youning had to turn her head to face him.
The posture of the two people is more intimate than before.
When facing Gu Huaichen, Lin Youning smelled a faint scent of alcohol and a cool woody fragrance on him.
Gu Huaichen's clothes are all specially taken care of. He himself does not spray perfume, but there are always wood fragrances in the cabinet all year round. Over time, his clothes and body are stained with the perfume.
The smell is not strong, you can only smell it if you get close.
As for the wine, it was during dinner that night that the old man asked him to have a drink with them, and the three generations of the family drank a small glass together.
At that time, Lin Youning was also a little greedy, but she was worried that she would make a fool of herself when she was drunk, so she held back.
Sniffing it now, she couldn't help but ask, "Is the wine tonight good?"
Gu Huaichen lowered his eyes and looked at her bright, fox-like eyes, raising his eyebrows slightly, "Want to drink?"
Lin Youning: "Not really, I'm just curious about the taste."
Gu Huaichen paused for a moment, holding the earrings in his hand, "Why didn't you tell me about the meal?"
"I'm afraid of getting drunk and making a fool of myself," Lin Youning admitted. "Besides, my mom didn't even ask me to drink, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to ask her to drink."
Gu Huaichen said calmly, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Just drink it next time if you want to. You don't need to ask anyone's opinion."
Lin Youning blinked lightly and said "oh" slowly.
She raised her head and met Gu Huaichen's deep gaze, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Why haven't you put it on me yet?"
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He held the earrings and put them on Lin Youning again.
After putting them on both ears, Lin Youning took out a small mirror from her bag and looked at them. She turned her head with satisfaction and asked, "Do they look good?"
Gu Huaichen lowered his eyelashes and looked at her pink ears and the earrings that set off her delicate face. It was hard to say that they were not beautiful.
He responded in a low voice, "It looks good."
Lin Youning was surprised, "Really?"
Gu Huaichen spoke slowly, occasionally willing to coax people, "It suits you very well."
Lin Youning smiled and was about to say something to him when she suddenly met his dark eyes.
Involuntarily, she pursed her lips, and her lips moved, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Huaichen was silent, and suddenly asked, "Do you still want to know the taste of wine?"
Lin Youning blinked slowly, took a breath, and began to stutter, "How... do you know?"
The moment he finished speaking, Gu Huaichen held the back of her neck, rubbed his nose across her cheek, and kissed her lips.
