It was as if An Ruyou was facing a crossroads. Even though no matter which direction she was walking in, there would always be a straight and wide road, the end of the road was different. Furthermore, An Ruyou was standing in the middle of the crossroad, not knowing where she should go.
After He Chengyu and An Ruyou said out their thoughts, they were still nervously waiting for An Ruyou's reply. However, An Ruyou seemed to be minding her own business as she thought about something, and it was unknown if it had anything to do with what they had just said.
But He Chengyu could only see that the hand An Ruyou was holding the cup of water with was tightening and turning white slightly. He Chengyu was even afraid that An Ruyou would suddenly crush the water cup into pieces.
Seeing An Ruyou's conflicted expression, the inside of He Chengyu's heart gradually shrank into a ball. He didn't know whether An Ruyou wanted to reject him, or if he would agree after hearing her words.
But He Chengyu had already waited for too long, he wasn't willing to wait any longer. He wanted his body to follow the actions in his heart. He Chengyu grabbed the teacup in An Ruyou's hand and heavily placed it on the tea table. Just now, He Chengyu had poured a cup of water for An Ruyou and An Ruyou had never drunk a single mouthful before.
After being pushed onto the sofa by He Chengyu, and being completely locked in his embrace, the mood of An Ruyou, who had been constantly changing during the night, had somehow calmed down and settled down. Like a lonely boat that had been drifting on the ocean surface and had finally found a harbor where she could dock, An Ruyou's heart was completely at peace.
He Chengyu didn't say anything more. Tonight, he had said enough, right now He Chengyu only wanted him to feel his own feelings. He Chengyu closed his eyes and devoutly kissed the An Ruyou in his embrace. Ever since he had met An Ruyou, he had merged all of his throbbing, admiration, heartache, and, most importantly, deep love into this lingering kiss.
The soft touch of her lips did not stop there, but it was not the touch of desire mixed within. He Chengyu only pressed on An Ruyou's back and pushed him towards her, as if he wanted to melt An Ruyou into his own blood and bones.
Perhaps it was because An Ruyou had seen the real He Chengyu tonight, or perhaps it was because An Ruyou now knew that He Chengyu had even participated in his own life when he was still Qiao Ruoyou that he wanted to understand He Chengyu even more.
Under He Chengyu's thunderous attack, An Ruyou was not as indifferent or intentionally resisting as before. This time, An Ruyou would also subconsciously match his movements, and also wanted to feel He Chengyu's temperature and the heat in his chest. Under An Ruyou's cooperation, He Chengyu and An Ruyou both wholeheartedly threw themselves into the nephritis in their senses.
It was unknown how much time had passed before the water in the cup had completely cooled down. Only then did He Chengyu finally let go of An Ruyou's hand.
When He Chengyu left, An Ruyou slowly opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile. There was a bit of a suspicious look on his lips, but He Chengyu seemed to not feel it, he only knew that he was smiling at An Ruyou.
He Chengyu's straightforward gaze made him feel embarrassed at first. He hurriedly averted her gaze and tried his best not to meet He Chengyu's gaze. She grabbed the cup that He Chengyu had just put down and started drinking.
Although the water in the cup had already cooled down, for An Ruyou, it was just perfect. This helped him to cool his face down. After drinking the water, An Ruyou didn't know what to do, so she could only use her hands to touch his face to ease her embarrassment.
He Chengyu looked at An Ruyou's string of actions, and basically, he could guess what An Ruyou was thinking about.
After his wish was fulfilled, He Chengyu did not do anything out of line to An Ruyou. However, he still could not help but tease An Ruyou a little: "You Yu, are you shy?" In the end, he could no longer suppress his laughter.
An Ruyou was slightly angry, and casually picked up a pillow on the sofa and threw it in He Chengyu's direction. However, he was also reluctant to smash it onto He Chengyu's handsome face, so he could only go downwards, wanting to throw it onto He Chengyu's body. However, An Ruyou's tiny strength didn't count for anything in He Chengyu's eyes, so He Chengyu easily caught it.
After flirting for a while, He Chengyu noticed that it was already late at night, and asked An Ruyou if he wanted to rest and sleep.
Right now, it was indeed the time for An Ruyou to rest. But even though after He Chengyu had made a fool of himself, his mood was no longer as heavy as it was before, and he was unable to return to his previous state of mind. It was like a calm lake, and after being destroyed by a stone that suddenly fell in, it would be unable to return to its original state.
However, An Ruyou still went to the bathroom in He Chengyu's bedroom to take a bath first, while He Chengyu went to the bathroom to take a bath outside.
When An Ruyou wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom, she realized that He Chengyu seemed to have already showered. She was in the bedroom making the bed.
In An Ruyou's original impression, He Chengyu was the president of the Ho Group, and normally, he would shake the world in the shopping mall. All the competitors of the He clan were frightened, and everyone looked forward to becoming friends with He Chengyu, or partners with him, or at least if they were strangers, they might as well be He Chengyu's enemies.
This was what An Ruyou had always thought of He Chengyu, but the man in front of An Ruyou had completely changed his way of thinking.
He Chengyu was wearing a simple white t-shirt and light gray house pants. His hair that was always neatly combed, was resting on He Chengyu's forehead now.
An Ruyou watched He Chengyu at the door of the bathroom for a while, before she skillfully laid out the entire bed, and then noticed An Ruyou who was wiping her hair.
He Chengyu touched the wrinkles on the bed sheets one last time and then pushed An Ruyou, who walked in from the bathroom, onto the chair in front of the table in the room. He Chengyu himself, however, entered the bathroom.
He Chengyu quickly came out, in his hand was a box with an unopened hair dryer.
After seeing An Ruyou's curious gaze, He Chengyu explained: "This is the room that I stayed in grandpa's place before. Since my hair is short and I don't like to blow hair, the hair dryer prepared by this servant hasn't been taken out. I just found it, I'll try it to see if it still works, don't mind it."
He Chengyu plugged in the power, fiddled with the switch, and strong wind came out from the hair dryer. He Chengyu then checked every part of this brand-new hair dryer, and after finding that there were no problems, he took it back to An Ruyou's side with ease.
Because this was He Chengyu's room before, there was nothing like a girl's room. There was a huge dressing table with a folded mirror placed on top of it, which was probably what He Chengyu usually had. Right now, An Ruyou could see that inside the small mirror, it actually held both his and He Chengyu's faces, giving others the illusion that they were going to grow old together in the blink of an eye.
"Wandering, I don't have a proper dressing mirror here. Do you want to blow it here, or should we go change it to a larger one?" He Chengyu asked for An Ruyou's opinion.
An Ruyou didn't really care that much, she could just keep quiet and not blow his hair. If she could do it herself, then so be it, An Ruyou wouldn't have to trouble He Chengyu anymore, and even change to another place to do it. An Ruyou shook his head: "No need to trouble yourself, I think this place is pretty good, let's do it this way."
An Ruyou still wanted to take the hair dryer from He Chengyu's hands, but He Chengyu had already turned it on and started to help raise He Chengyu's hair.
But how could he blow-dry other people's hair before He Chengyu, it could be seen how unpracticed He Chengyu's current work was, for the first time he even forgot to turn on the hot wind, causing a gust of cold wind to blow towards An Ruyou.
Finally, An Ruyou reminded He Chengyu. He Chengyu then quickly turned on the hot air. However, He Chengyu was afraid that he would be burned to death, hence he did not dare let the hair dryer get too close to An Ruyou's scalp. This resulted in when the wind landed on An Ruyou's hair, the intensity of the wind and the heat would not be enough to dry her hair.
Furthermore, An Ruyou's hair was already long and medium. With one hand holding the hair dryer, and with the other hand caressing An Ruyou's hair, He Chengyu accidentally bundled up his hair and was at a loss for what to do.
An Ruyou himself could not bear to watch any longer, he wanted to grab the hairdryer and dry his own hair, but He Chengyu refused to let go no matter what, it was unknown what he was being stubborn about. There was no other way, An Ruyou could only allow him to do as he pleased.
He Chengyu secretly rejoiced in his heart while looking at the scene of him and An Ruyou being in the same frame as each other in the mirror. He did not let An Ruyou snatch the hair dryer away.
He Chengyu would never tell An Ruyou even if he was beaten to death, but he actually had an extremely childish thought in his heart. He had heard that as long as one combed the hair of the person he loved from head to tail, the two of them would grow old together.
When He Chengyu was young, he had also seen his grandfather help Grandma blow her hair and comb her hair. The old couple's life was indeed peaceful and beautiful, fortunately, they were blessed with happiness. This made He Chengyu believe even more in the reliability of the rumor that he had once inadvertently heard.
Gradually, He Chengyu found a pattern, and it won't make him feel uncomfortable again. Furthermore, the long hair on He Chengyu's hand was also slowly drying up.
In fact, He Chengyu was worried that An Ruyou would feel pain from being pulled over, so she didn't use too much strength. An Ruyou also didn't feel too uncomfortable, on the contrary, it was for He Chengyu's unfamiliarity and seriousness that he felt both touched and amused. So He Chengyu was actually so cute.
