"Hmm." Song Heng's voice was lazy and nonchalant.
Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow. "You've been here so many times, but this is the first time I've heard President Song express interest in the flowers and plants in my garden."
Song Heng's relationship with the Lu family goes beyond just Song Yu marrying Lu Chuchu.
Lu Jingyan met Song Heng while studying abroad, and their brotherhood of more than ten years was no less than that of Zhao Zhilin and the others.
Later, Song Yu married Lu Chuchu, and the relationship between the two families became even closer.
Song Heng glanced over indifferently, "So free?"
"Hmm...it's just because you two brothers are bored." Lu Jingyan shrugged, his eyes filled with laughter as he looked at Shi Wan in the garden.
Shi Wan saw Lu Jingyan wave at her and was about to call him over to help in the garden when she saw Song Heng standing next to him.
Shi Wan nodded politely to the other party in greeting.
Standing next to her, Ji Meng saw Shi Wan looking outside and followed her gaze. When she saw the man next to Lu Jingyan, Ji Meng's eyes widened and stared.
"Wanwan, when did you meet this handsome mixed-race guy? How come I didn't know?"
"Look at this handsome guy, with his strong chest muscles, firm abs, broad shoulders, narrow waist, firm and perky buttocks, and long legs."
Ji Meng looked at the man standing outside the garden and couldn't help but sigh.
"How can you tell that he has both pectoral muscles and abs?"
“Wanwan, you don’t meet many people at school, so you don’t really know how to judge men. I’ve been working in the media company for so many years, and I’ve seen plenty of handsome men and beautiful women. Remember, I have X-ray vision.” Ji Meng raised her chin smugly.
"Mengmeng! Can't you focus on something normal? This is Eric, Ayan's classmate, and also Chuchu's husband's older brother." Shi Wan quickly covered Ji Meng's mouth and lowered her voice.
"What are you afraid of! I'm just helping Sister Xiaoyun choose. This handsome guy is just as good as my brother, but their styles are quite different. One is aloof and ascetic, while the other is noble and gentlemanly." Ji Meng looked at Zhou Yun, who was squatting on the ground arranging flowers and plants.
“And… Wanwan,” Ji Meng leaned close to Shi Wan’s ear and whispered, “this is the legendary V-shaped waist, it looks really good!”
Shi Wan stared wide-eyed in shock at Ji Meng's lewd words, a blush instantly spreading across her face. "You... didn't you used to describe your Zhao Zhilin like that too?"
"Hmm... These men all have great physiques, but you know, women always like to look at fresh, handsome men, especially fresh, mixed-race men." Ji Meng openly admired the men at the door.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how come I've remained chaste for Zhao Zhilin for so many years? We should have been more selective and looked around more during those years in Y country."
Shi Wan: ……
Shi Wan thought to herself: Who was it that kept mentioning Zhao Zhilin all those years abroad?
"Song Heng, right? On the surface, he's a refined gentleman, but behind the scenes, he's probably the kind of 'Liskov' type from novels—quite daring when no one's around..."
Before Shi Wan could answer, a cold voice came from behind her.
"Ji Meng!" Zhao Zhilin stood behind Ji Meng with a dark face, gritting his teeth.
"Ah! Just kidding, just kidding. I was just helping Sister Xiaoyun vet the men. Speaking of men, my Ah Lin is great too. Right? Didn't I say that no man can compare to you?" Ji Meng blinked her sexy fox eyes and pretended to be shy as she wrapped her arms around Zhao Zhilin's neck.
Zhao Zhilin's eyes held a half-smile. "Oh? Brave? Broad shoulders and narrow hips? V-shaped waist? Others are good? I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of other men."
"Uh... I was just teasing Wanwan. Top-tier handsome guys like you are either at the company or the gym, so your physique and looks are naturally amazing. Hehehe..." Ji Meng chuckled awkwardly.
"Is that so?" A dangerous glint flashed in the man's eyes. "Our Mengmeng's high praise for other men might be an implication that I haven't tried hard enough."
"No, no, no... My boyfriend has the best physique in all of Kyoto, no, it should be the best in all of China."
She was all too familiar with the man's gaze at that moment, and just thinking about it now made her legs go weak.
Feeling guilty, Ji Meng pulled Zhao Zhilin toward the annex of the villa, coaxing him in a low voice as they walked, "Zhilin, I didn't mean that... You're the best in my heart."
Shi Wan watched the two figures disappear into the distance and shook her head helplessly. When would this little girl change her habit of speaking without thinking?
Noticing Song Heng's gaze towards the garden, Lu Jingyan's expression suddenly became inscrutable, though a smile still lingered on his lips. "How about we take a closer look at the flowers at the Lu family's old residence?"
As he spoke, he took a step toward the courtyard garden.
Song Heng stared intently at Zhou Yun, who was squatting on the ground carefully tending to the bellflower seedlings, a subtle, unreadable meaning in his azure pupils.
He strode after Lu Jingyan into the garden.
"Miss Shi." The gentleman greeted Shi Wan politely, then turned his gaze to what was behind her.
Shi Wan noticed the way the other person was glancing at the person behind them, and then realized what was going on.
Just as Shi Wan was about to call out to Zhou Yun, who was squatting on the ground, Lu Jingyan grabbed her arm, and Shi Wan wisely kept quiet.
Zhou Yun squatted in the lisianthus flowerbed behind the flower stand, carefully clearing the weeds around the seedlings.
The temperature in Kyoto is still a bit cool, but the sun is very strong near noon.
Zhou Yun, who was squatting on the ground, had a slightly red face from the sun. She was wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans.
A departure from her usual glamorous and sexy makeup, today's light makeup, combined with her sun-reddened cheeks, made her look rather adorable.
Fine beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, and a few strands of hair, damp with sweat, clung to the girl's cheeks.
Just as he was getting parched from the heat, a shadow fell over him from above.
Without the scorching sun shining directly on her, Zhou Yun felt much cooler instantly. However, looking at the shadow on the ground, she saw a human figure!
Zhou Yun looked up in confusion and saw a tall figure blocking the sun that was shining directly on her.
Backlit, I couldn't see the man's face clearly. I was about to stand up to get a better look when a wave of dizziness hit me and I almost fell to the ground.
"Watch out!" came the man's deep, magnetic voice.
A large hand supported her body. Zhou Yun, who had just recovered from the dizziness, looked gratefully at the person who was supporting her.
"Eric?" The person in front of her was unbelievable to her. Eric was the heir of the Morgan family in E continent, and his appearance in the Lu family was indeed quite shocking to her.
"Okay, get up slowly next time, don't rush." Song Heng tightened his grip on Zhou Yun's arm.
Once she regained her senses, Zhou Yun looked down at the large hand on her arm. Song Heng noticed her expression, concealed the darkness in his eyes, and naturally released the hand that was supporting her.
"You won't be so lucky next time." Song Heng's lips curled slightly.
