Chapter 33.1

Cherry Red and Lychee Fragrance (17)

Li Ruo Shui had seen him open his eyes when he was a child, but she had never seen what he looked like when he grew up.

This time, she had seen it.

His eyes were slightly longer than when he was a child, more attractive, but they still looked foggy, unable to focus on a certain place, and the line of sight looked straight through her.

Lu Zhi Yao hugged Li Ruo Shui, opened his eyes, and the smile on his face was gone. She did not know what he was thinking.

Li Ruo Shui admitted that she was seduced, but only briefly.

Holding her breath, she tapped the center of his brow with her fingers, brushed away the dangling gauze skirt in the water, stood up, and pulled him up from the bottom of the water.

Lu Zhi Yao closed his eyes the moment he came out of the water, and the transparent water drops could only slide down from his eyelashes, but she was no longer able to explore the glazed color at the bottom of the water.

“No matter how long you can hold your breath, you can’t lay in it all the time. And by the time you realize the situation, you may have no strength to get out.”

Li Ruo Shui brushed away the water droplets on his face and asked while panting, “Why did you stay still just now?”

Lu Zhi Yao hooked the corners of his lips, approached her with a slightly icy body, and sighed softly.

Only she would ask him the reason at such a time.

“Because this slowly increasing sense of pressure is very comfortable and peaceful.”

Lu Zhi Yao lowered his eyes, and a drop of water fell from his eyelashes, dripping onto Li Ruo Shui’s skirt.

She was the only one whom he could freely confide his twisted thoughts to.

He gently embraced Li Ruo Shui’s waist and subconsciously approached her, wanting to absorb some heat, but was pushed ashore by her the next moment.

“I think you may have soaked in the water for too long and a little entered your brain, causing you to hallucinate. Go up and bask in the sun.”

After listening to her own explanation, Li Ruo Shui felt that it was unexpected but quite reasonable.

If his brain circuit was normal, then it was not him.

She smoothly pushed him onto the boulder in the river. The boulder was warmed by the sun, and it absorbed the water drops from the two of them. Sitting on it brought a feeling of being warmed and healed.

The medicine in Li Ruo Shui’s body has not been fully detoxified, so it was a little hot, but it was very comfortable.

“Strange, you could also attract the flowers in the water?”

Li Ruo Shui was amazed when she saw a few bright yellow winter jasmine flowers mixed in his wet hair. She stretched out her hand to pick them off and put them in the water. Then the flowers floated away with the current.

“Really?”

Lu Zhi Yao rubbed the corner of her skirt with his hands, listening to her every move with full attention.

“You should plant more flowers and plants in your yard in the future. Maybe the wind will blow them all over you.”

Li Ruo Shui joked a little, then stood up, lifting the hem of her skirt across him to go into the water.

“Don’t pull my skirt, I’ll get some food.”

Lu Zhi Yao let go of her hand and listened to the sound of water splashing as Li Ruo Shui walked away and came back again.

Sitting on the boulder, Li Ruo Shui opened the bamboo basket. She took out a few lychees and put them in his hands.

“Eat something high in sugar after exercising. This lychee is very sweet. You should try it.”

She originally wanted to bring only cherries yesterday, but she thought it would not be easy to teach him. Hence, Li Ruo Shui not only brought more lychees, but also prepared herself psychologically to deal with emergencies.

“How do you eat this?”

Lu Zhi Yao turned his head and “looked” at her. His long eyelashes still had fine drops of water, and his lips were more red than usual.

“Peel and eat the pulp inside.” Li Ruo Shui peeled the lychees without looking up at him.

“I don’t know how.”

Lu Zhi Yao turned sideways and put the lychees in her hands. The wet hair on his forehead made his complexion paler.

Li Ruo Shui: “……have you never peeled an orange?”

Although speechless, she still peeled a lychee for him and watched him eat it.

However, she kept the film coat of the lychee intact. Li Ruo Shui covered her mouth, unable to hide the smile in her eyes, and waited for his bitter reaction.

Lu Zhi Yao took the lychee, put it to his lips, then curved his lips into a smile and opened his mouth to bite off the flesh.

The sweet juice soaked his lips into a moist red. He ate the white pulp in his mouth and even swallowed the bitter film.

Li Ruo Shui wanted to see how he frowned, but there didn’t seem to be any reaction.

But yes, how could he be afraid of bitterness?

Li Ruo Shui looked at the juice at the corner of his lips, blinked, and immediately turned her head, not daring to continue looking.

For some reason, this person always had an indescribable desire to eat, and she couldn’t help licking her lips when she saw it.

“I don’t seem to know what you like to eat?” Li Ruo Shui asked casually as he lowered his head to peel the lychees.

“I’m not picky about food.”

As expected.

“But if I really have to say one, then it’s lychees.”

Li Ruo Shui’s hands trembled slightly as she looked at Lu Zhi Yao in surprise, as if she saw her hope of returning home.

“Why?”

Lu Zhi Yao turned his head to her with a gentle smile.

“Because it’s the first time I’ve eaten it, and it smells very sweet.”
