Chapter 22.2

Substitute Marriage (8) – Sensitive (2)

Li Ruo Shui took Lu Zhi Yao’s wrist with one hand and pulled out a copper coin with the other.

“Boss, give a few more.”

When Lu Zhi Yao first arrived there, a sweet fruity fragrance rushed into his nose, and just smelling it made his mouth feel sweet and nourishing.

Seemingly unable to bear the sweetness, Lu Zhi Yao, who was smiling, frowned slightly and took a step back.

This made Li Ruo Shui curious.

This man was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of the smell of crystal cake. What is the reason for this?

Taking the paper wrapped sorbet, Li Ruo Shui picked up a piece and put it in front of his nose.

“Does it smell good? Do you want to eat it?”

Lu Zhi Yao didn’t even smile. He pursed his lips and took a step back: “I don’t want to eat it.”

“Take a bite.”

This was the first time she forced Lu Zhi Yao back, Li Ruo Shui was so excited that she didn’t even keep a safe distance and crashed into his arms, taking a big bite of the crystal cake.

“Then I’ll eat it.” The fragrance of the bitten crystal cake wafted out of Li Ruo Shui’s mouth: “Are you afraid?”

The young girl moved forward intently, with the sweet scent lingering near his ears, and for a moment he lost his dominance, like a weak woman being dallied by a bully.

But instead of getting angry, he jumped for joy, seemingly happy about being out of control.

His heart throbbed again, uncontrollably.

……how to get rid of this strange sensation.

“The horse is shocked! Get out of the way!”

A series of iron hoof beats came breaking through the wind, and pedestrians on the street hurriedly avoided it, spilling a lot of things on the street.

Li Ruo Shui wanted to dodge too, but she was pulled by Lu Zhi Yao with a smile and stood in the middle of the road, unable to move at all.

Feeling Li Ruo Shui’s intense heartbeat, he calmed down, as if everything was back to his control.

He bent his eyelashes and touched Li Ruo Shui’s neck vein, softly spitting out three words.

“Afraid or not.”

A big man in front of him couldn’t dodge in time and was knocked to the ground by a horse, its iron hoof stepped on his leg, probably broken.

Li Ruo Shui cried out in her heart about how unlucky she was. How could she run into something like a frightened horse when she had such an easy chance!

“I’m sorry, I’m wrong, I shouldn’t have teased you!”

Lu Zhi Yao didn’t expect to get such an answer and raised a smile.

“Is this a teasing? So I’m also teasing you now?”

What kind of brain circuit is this!

“Sort of, you can find another opportunity to tease me, but you wouldn’t have the chance if I was hit.”

Li Ruo Shui pulled his waist and tried to take him away from this position with her.

She didn’t know which sentence moved him, but this fellow rubbed his fingertips against her neck vein and tapped his toes when the horse arrived, taking her with him as he landed on one side.

Li Ruo Shui patted her chest to catch her breath. It was so thrilling that she seemed to feel the horse’s snorting breath just then.

“It’s been a long time, teasing is so interesting.” A soft exclamation came from behind her, and Li Ruo Shui was left speechless.

Trying to explain to him the difference between teasing and murder was difficult, so she decided to shut up.

She was already used to his sudden outbursts anyway, and didn’t care if it happened more or less.

Mentally trained, Li Ruo Shui quickly recovered from the shock and was even able to take out a piece of crystal cake without changing her expression.

“After teasing, you have to compensate for it and eat this crystal cake.”

Lu Zhi Yao was a pervert, but in a way Li Ruo Shui was not an ordinary person either. In terms of alertness in conversations, Li Ruo Shui could even rival him.

“Compensation?” Lu Zhi Yao inclined his head away from the sweet pastry, “Why do you always want me to eat.”

“You’re too thin, and although you have some muscles, the food you ate just isn’t enough for you to consume, that’s why your hands and feet are cold all the time.”

Li Ruo Shui really couldn’t resist poking his slender arms, prominent butterfly bones and slender waist……

Lu Zhi Yao couldn’t help but tremble, and the smile that had been hooked up froze at the corners of his mouth as he subconsciously touched the hilt of his sword beside him.

Li Ruo Shui poked his waist again, and this time not only his body, but also his eyelashes trembled along with him.

……

So sensitive.

Her face turned slightly red. Li Ruo Shui felt that her behaviour was a little perverted, so she retracted her hand and shoved the crystal cake into his hand.

“You, you eat it, this is not greasy.”

She still wanted to pull his wrist, but then she remembered something and turned to pull his sleeve, leading him towards the Zheng Mansion.

Li Ruo Shui always felt that she had discovered some unfathomable secret and was afraid that she would be killed by him in a second the next moment, so she kept pressing the sword at his side while pulling him.

Lu Zhi Yao was dragged forward with a crystal cake in his arms, his steps were stiff, and the numbness that ran through his tailbone a moment ago had long since disappeared, but he was still a little absentminded.

And Li Ruo Shui was also no better.

Lu Zhi Yao’s expression caught her eyes just now. His trembling body, his trembling eyelashes, and his pursed lips, all of these were different from what he had shown in the past.

Inexplicably, he made people want to bully him.

Li Ruo Shui shook her head, trying to shake this terrible thought out of her head, silently chanting not to make a fool of herself.

But his trembling look was really beautiful.

Damn, it was a bit of a turn-on.
