Chapter 209 Making up for it
Even a small sip of soup was difficult to swallow. It seemed as if the stomach was filled with something heavy, and there was no space at all to accommodate anything else.
All these subtle emotional changes and body language expressions did not escape Xiao Chuyi's sharp eyes.
In the past, whenever the two of them encountered a similar awkward atmosphere when they were together, Su Yanqing basically tried her best to cooperate and please his interests and requests; but now the situation is completely reversed.
Now it was his turn to cautiously try to win the favor of the woman in front of him, constantly taking the initiative to pick up food for her or help pour her drinks to ease her inner concerns and tension.
When I finished my shower and walked out of the bathroom slowly wearing a soft and comfortable bathrobe, I saw the figure of a man who had been lying on the bed resting early in the morning appear in front of me.
I saw him playing with the necklace he had taken off when taking a bath just now, his eyes revealing a bit of anxiety and anticipation.
Meanwhile, the female protagonist, who had slowly dried her wet hair and combed it neatly, sat silently in front of a new table she had recently purchased for her own decoration, staring blankly...
Xiao Chuyi walked over with a hair dryer in his hand. His movements were a little clumsy but he seemed extremely careful.
Su Yanqing stretched out her hand and instinctively wanted to take the tool she was used to using every day. However, Xiao Chuyi gently raised his arm to avoid her touch.
"I'll blow it for you."
The four short words came out of his mouth slowly, with a hint of unquestionable firmness.
Su Yanqing was first surprised by this sudden change, and then a warm feeling arose from the bottom of her heart.
In her memory, she often did this for Xiao Chuyi, and now the feeling of role reversal made her heart surge with inexplicable emotion.
Although Xiao Chuyi's operation was far less smooth than Su Yanqing's, who was able to do it with ease after professional training, and his hands did not seem to be so skilled in fiddling with the instruments, and occasionally he would accidentally touch her hair and cause a slight tremor, all these small details only made her feel a different but equally deep warmth than usual.
"Su Yanqing, am I really getting better?"
As these words came out of Xiao Chuyi's mouth, a faint scent of seeking recognition filled the air.
His temperament is both strict towards others and full of instant understanding and care. The latter can, to some extent, make up for the estrangement or harm that the former may bring. This seemingly contradictory personality trait is precisely his unique charm and one of the keys to his winning the understanding and love of others.
"I don't feel like tonight..."
When Su Yanqing whispered softly, she had already lowered her head, indicating that she was willing to accept any form of care and concern from the other party, even if it was such an ordinary and simple thing as helping her to take care of her hair.
On the other side, feeling her silent support and acceptance, Xiao Chuyi didn't say anything more, but just gently ran his fingers through her soft, black hair.
"Ah."
A simple nasal response seemed to become even more ambiguous and hazy under the cover of night.
After nightfall, the luxurious villa located on the hillside is surrounded by lush and verdant trees, forming a space that is relatively isolated from the outside world but coexists harmoniously with it.
The evening breeze blew through the window lattice, bringing a hint of coolness while also causing the curtains that were originally hanging motionless to sway slightly, making a faint rustling sound.
In my ears, I could hear the endless chirping of insects, a chorus unique to the night, performing the most beautiful, peaceful and tranquil songs of nature.
Xiao Chuyi hugged his beloved, and the two of them looked so warm and beautiful as they depended on each other closely.
Su Yanqing rested her cheek against his solid chest, quietly listening to the regular and powerful heartbeat coming from his body and the wonderful symphony composed of the natural sounds of the outside world.
It was a beautiful melody that was enough to make one completely relax and even fall asleep.
Realizing that the woman beside him was about to fall asleep, Xiao Chuyi bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth and plump forehead. Then he closed his eyes, hugged his beloved tightly in his arms, and accompanied her as they gradually fell into a sweet dream.
Until late at night, perhaps because of staying in the same posture for a long time, Su Yanqing felt that her legs seemed to become numb and uncomfortable.
So she tried to gently push away her still sleeping partner.
"what happened?"
Xiao Chuyi, who was still a little sleepy after being woken up, asked with concern.
"You've numbed my legs, and I need to go to the bathroom."
Su Yanqing explained.
Hearing this, the other party quickly moved away, giving her enough space to move. When she returned to the room, she suddenly remembered that she still had a lot of nutritional supplements to take, so she quickly opened the handbag she was carrying to look for the relevant items, and took out several pills of different types and swallowed them.
"What are you eating? Are you sick?"
Xiao Chuyi woke up completely after hearing the noise. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his tone was full of concern and a little anxiety.
"Oh...it's vitamin C and liver protection tablets."
She responded softly, as if trying to hide some of her uneasiness.
Xiao Chuyi obviously didn't quite believe her explanation. He leaned forward slightly and sat up.
He reached out and snatched the bottle from her hand, carefully reading the words on the label in the dim light, making sure he hadn't missed any details.
After confirming that the bottle indeed contained vitamin C and liver protection tablets, his expression finally relaxed, and he sighed softly, feeling relieved.
"Why are you eating this in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Chuyi still asked in confusion, his voice full of questions.
"Haha..." Su Yanqing laughed twice, a little embarrassed, "Because I forgot during the day!"
She tried to dispel his doubts with a simple excuse, although she knew in her heart that this would not be enough to convince everyone.
Fortunately, Su Yanqing had prepared in advance yesterday and carefully put the medicine that was originally needed into small bottles labeled with other medicines as a cover, thus avoiding greater trouble.
"Rest, I have to get up early tomorrow."
After she said this, she turned sideways and no longer looked at the man beside her. She just hoped to fall asleep as soon as possible to relieve her current mood.
Because of this little incident that happened at night, Su Yanqing tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until dawn. When she opened her eyes again, it was noon outside the window. There was no one on the other side of the bed in the room. Xiao Chuyi had already gone out to work.
……
Inside the helicopter, Xiao Chuyi held Su Yanqing tightly in his arms.
