Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 56. How come your eyelashes are so long?
Lu Lishen raised an eyebrow slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his clear, magnetic voice: "Good morning?"

"Then what time do you think is too early, sister?"

A deep voice lingered in her ear, and Jiang Jixu's delicate earlobes quickly flushed red. She hadn't expected that a single sentence from her would be caught out by the man, and she became so nervous that she stammered.

"I, I'm not..."

Lu Lishen straightened up, his deep black eyes lightly landing on the girl's face, and said in a natural tone, "I know my sister has ulterior motives towards me."

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret and not let anyone else know."

Jiang Jixu: "?"

Did she have designs on him?
When did this happen? How come she doesn't know?
The man's expression was completely casual, and his gaze towards her was frank and innocent, making Jiang Jixu wonder if she was really lustful at first sight.

The room was warmly heated, a stark contrast to the biting cold wind outside.

Lu Lishen casually took off his black coat, revealing a warm white undershirt and smooth black trousers underneath.

He was tall and slender with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The cold light from the entrance hall shone down from above, making him appear even more aloof and ascetic.

Jiang Jixu's eyelids twitched as he watched.

The scene from that night involuntarily came to mind.

The man's muscles were firm but not exaggerated; she was practically clinging to his waist and abdomen, thrusting into him again and again...

Jiang Jixu's face flushed.

When she came to her senses, the man was already beside her, bending down to look at her closely, his voice carrying a seductive tone:

"What is my sister thinking?"

The distance is far too close.

Jiang Jixu was so close that he could clearly see Lu Lishen's long and thick eyelashes.

She blurted out instinctively, "How come your eyelashes are so long?"

A faint chuckle escaped Lu Lishen's throat.

“It’s long,” he said. “I glued it on one by one.”

Jiang Jixu was inexplicably convinced by the serious tone.

"Really?"

"Hmm." The man's lips curved slightly. "If you don't believe me, why don't you try?"

Jiang Jixu gently bit her lip, and slowly raised her hand under the gaze of those flickering eyes.

A faint scent of jasmine lingers around my nose.

Her soft fingertips stopped in front of Lu Lishen's beautiful, narrow black eyes.

A slight itch came from my fingertips.

His slightly trembling eyelashes were gently brushing against her fingertips, like butterfly wings.

Jiang Jixu's breath hitched, her gaze shifting slightly from her eyelashes to meet Lu Lishen's deep, alluring eyes.

Once they're aligned, they can't be moved.

It tightly nets people.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

Lu Lishen could almost feel the faint warmth emanating from the girl's fingertips.

The heat, the burning sensation, landed on his eyelashes, as if it would start burning him up from his eyes.

Beneath the icy layer of rationality lies the molten lava of emotions that Lu Lishen has suppressed and restrained for a long time.

If you're not careful, it will gush out.

However, his years of honed patience could not withstand Jiang Jixu's casual action.

This is an addiction.

It's a poison.

It was a secret and despicable thought that he dared not let the girl see.

Lu Lishen clenched his fingers, his gaze flickering like candlelight as he quickly swept his eyes across the girl's soft lips, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Shall we go upstairs and take a look?"

Jiang Jixu recovered from his shock, quickly withdrew his hand as if burned, and lowered his head to reply in a low voice, "Mmm... mmm."

Lu Lishen straightened up, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice still a little hoarse.

"The second floor has rooms, and the third floor has a glass conservatory."

Jiang Jixu rubbed his fingers absentmindedly.

"Let's go check the third floor."

"it is good."

……

Jiang Jixu followed behind him. "Watch out for the steps."

A deep male voice came from above her head. Just as she was about to respond, a hand with distinct knuckles appeared in her line of sight.

"The steps are a bit steep."

Jiang Jixu looked down at a step that could be easily stepped over: "...?"

She pursed her lips.

Reach out and hold my hand firmly.

Lu Lishen, who was walking ahead, smiled slightly.

After climbing two flights of stairs, Jiang Jixu saw a clear blue sky and a glass conservatory that looked like a birdcage, next to which was a European-style cream-themed afternoon tea table.

She quickened her pace, a hint of excitement in her round almond-shaped eyes.

"Lu Lishen, this is—"

“Jiang Wang said you really like growing flowers.” Lu Lishen looked at the girl’s delighted expression, his rosy lips curving slightly. “The greenhouse has a special insulation and irrigation system, controlled by a computer. You can also set the temperature and frequency yourself.”

"The controller is here."

He walked to the door and lightly tapped his fingertips on the panel embedded in the wall.

Jiang Jixu leaned closer and watched Lu Lishen's operating steps carefully.

The man's gaze lingered subtly on her fair, soft profile, and his voice softened.
"Actually, you can also do it with your phone. I'll install a system for you in a bit..."

Before Lu Lishen could speak, Jiang Jixu took out his phone and handed it to him.

Lu Lishen paused slightly, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Give it to me directly?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Jixu tilted his head, puzzled. Then, remembering something, he added, "The password is 0906."

Seeing that Lu Lishen hadn't moved yet, she thought he had misunderstood something, and quickly said, "This is my birthday."

"Ok, I know."

He knew about it a long time ago.

Lu Lishen calmly took the phone, but a closer look would reveal that his fingers were trembling slightly.

Swipe up and the screen lights up.

The lock screen wallpaper is a family portrait of the Jiang family.

It was filmed a long time ago.

For example, the younger-looking Mr. and Mrs. Jiang sat in front, and behind them, from left to right, stood Jiang Jixu, Jiang Wang, and Jiang Jinian.

Lu Lishen's gaze fell on Jiang Jixu.

The girl was still very young and inexperienced at that time. She was probably just starting high school and had short hair. If she hadn't been wearing a skirt, she would likely have been mistaken for a boy with fair skin and delicate features.

As if remembering something, Lu Lishen's lips curved slightly.

Then he slowly entered his lock screen password.

"I need to use WeChat."

Jiang Jixu was studying how to adjust the temperature when he heard this, and said without looking up, "Okay, you can use it."

Lu Lishen opened WeChat.

At first glance, the most eye-catching thing is the five chat boxes pinned to the top.

He paused slightly, then glanced at it casually.

Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, Jiang Jinian, Jiang Wang, and...

Lu Lishen's gaze suddenly froze.

After a while.

The man returned the phone to her.

Jiang Jixu was somewhat surprised: "So fast."

Lu Lishen lowered his eyes slightly and said casually, "It's just installing software."

Jiang Jixu checked the desktop and, sure enough, saw an additional software icon.

Looking at the blooming jasmine flower pattern on the icon, she paused slightly. "Did you make this software?"

"Ah."

Jiang Jixu pursed her lips, brushed a stray strand of hair from her cheek, and casually asked:

"You... seem to really like jasmine?"
