Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 103, Section 56: Bored

Just as Su Ruoyun was about to become angry and embarrassed, Huo Jingcheng put her down in time.

He first stepped into the stirrups and dismounted nimbly. Then he stretched out a large hand, palm up, raised his eyebrows, and gestured to help Su Ruoyun up.

Su Ruoyun secretly rolled her eyes, ignored his large hand, and dismounted by grabbing the saddle herself, relying on her own strength.

Huo Jingcheng wasn't annoyed. After withdrawing his hand, he called over to the coach.

After receiving Huo Jingcheng's instructions, the coach standing to the side skillfully took the reins of "Pinot Noir" and led it into the stable.

The sun was high in the sky, and the blinding rays of sunlight shone directly into her eyes. Su Ruoyun was caught off guard and was dazzled. She instinctively closed her eyes and raised her hand to shield them.

On the other side, Huo Jingcheng was still holding her baseball cap in his hand. Seeing this, he raised his hand and placed the cap firmly on her head. The wide brim of the cap blocked most of the glaring light for her.

He also took the opportunity to touch her soft, long hair, the ends of her ponytail twirling in the air.

Before Su Ruoyun could speak, her brows furrowed, and gently rebuke him, Huo Jingcheng released his grip.

Su Ruoyun raised her hand and smoothed her hair under the brim of her hat, carefully tucking the baseball cap into place. Then, she walked gracefully towards the lounge, leaving Huo Jingcheng behind, and prepared to go see Li Li.

In the lounge.

Li Li nestled in the soft sofa, one arm hanging down from the side of the sofa and resting on the stool next to him to avoid pressing down on it.

Su Ruoyun looked at her carefully from back to front. On her fair forearm, there were several crisscrossing bloodstains and abrasions, which were shocking to see.

Although Li Wenye was there to protect her, the impact of Li Li's fall was too great, causing the two of them to roll twice on the ground. The racecourse was full of mud and stones, and both of them inevitably suffered scrapes and abrasions.

……

Su Ruoyun and Li Li also had lunch at a ranch on the outskirts of Beijing. Although it was a horse ranch, the head chef was specially recruited from a well-known restaurant in Beijing and had superb culinary skills.

Su Ruoyun ate with Li Li. After Li Li fell off his horse, he only scraped his elbow and was otherwise fine. He was able to eat normally.

The chef, with a smile on his face, carried a tray and placed the dishes ordered by the two people on the table one by one, and then introduced the characteristics and cooking methods of the dishes.

Su Ruoyun raised her hand to the freshly squeezed juice beside her, took a sip, and enjoyed the sweet taste. She then picked up a silver fork, twirled some spaghetti, and ate it slowly and deliberately.

When she looked up again, several tall and imposing figures were seen at the edge of the dining table.

Looking up, Li Wenye smiled politely, "Mind sharing a table?"

The rectangular dining table wasn't large, seating four. Li Li and Su Ruoyun had already taken up two seats, but Huo Jingcheng, Chen Zheyan, and Li Wenye were standing on the side, making it a bit crowded.

But since it was someone who had just saved him that morning, Li Li couldn't refuse. He pursed his lips and finally nodded in agreement.

Li Wenye, undeterred by the crowd, dragged a chair from the next table and sat down first on the side of the long table, stretching out his long legs without any hesitation, extending them into Li Li's area. Meanwhile, the other three...

Li Li and Su Ruoyun were sitting facing each other, while Chen Zheyan, with his keen eye, sat down next to Li Li, leaving the empty seat next to Su Ruoyun for his third son.

Su Ruoyun caught a glimpse of Chen Zheyan taking his seat out of the corner of her eye, and her face instantly tightened. She already knew who would be sitting next to her. She pursed her lips and stared blankly at the grilled sausages on the white porcelain plate.

A fleeting image flashed before her eyes, and that tall figure swept past the sunlight streaming through the window, settling down gracefully beside her.

Su Ruoyun's fingers tightened uncontrollably, gripping the silver fork tightly until her knuckles turned slightly white. She bit her lower lip and quietly moved the chair she was sitting on to the side.

Huo Jingcheng glanced sideways, his gaze falling on her deliberate attempt to distance herself and avoid suspicion. Amused by her actions, he gave a half-smile.

Sitting opposite him, Chen Zheyan caught a glimpse of that lewd smile and couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly, thinking how enchanting his third brother's smile was.

Halfway through the meal, most people had finished eating, but out of courtesy, they didn't leave and chatted idly.

Su Ruoyun was the one who didn't get enough to eat.

At first, she was tense and focused all her attention on Huo Jingcheng, afraid that he might do something or say something shocking. So she was absent-minded. Only when Huo Jingcheng did not make any unusual moves and just ate his meal quietly did she start to eat with peace of mind.

Huo Jingcheng casually held his phone in one hand, fiddling with it as he looked down. The screen flickered, and the business emails in his inbox held no appeal for him whatsoever. His attention was entirely focused on Su Ruoyun beside him.

He casually glanced at her, as if it were nothing, and saw Su Ruoyun intently chewing her food, her cheeks slightly puffed out, like a squirrel hiding its food.

Huo Jingcheng inexplicably clicked on the camera app on his phone, and the front-facing camera captured the two of them in the same photo.

This table was a corner seat by the window, so there was no one behind Huo Jingcheng and Su Ruoyun. In addition, Huo Jingcheng was inside, so no one noticed his actions.

He flicked his fingertips and sent it remotely.

The moment he tapped the button, a cell phone screen on the same table suddenly lit up. The phone was draped over a beautiful white French tablecloth, and the sudden light attracted the attention of its owner, Su Ruoyun.

She looked down and saw the pop-up window appear on the screen. Her pupils dilated slightly, like a small pebble suddenly being thrown into a calm lake, creating subtle ripples.

However, Su Ruoyun quickly regained her composure. She calmly raised her hand, swept the phone over, put it in her palm, and tapped "accept" with her fingertip. The screen flickered for a moment, and the photo that Huo Jingcheng had shared appeared before her eyes.

She swiped into WeChat, her gaze lingering briefly on the previous chat history, before typing three words into the chat box: "What?"

Huo Jingcheng also opened the WeChat app. He replied quickly, tapping the screen and briefly sending her two numbers: "56".

Su Ruoyun had just frowned, and before her fingertips could even type a question mark on the screen, as if by telepathy, a message slowly arrived from the other end: "Boring."

Su Ruoyun subconsciously looked up and glanced at him; their eyes met in mid-air.

He stared at her intently, his gaze serene and distant, his eyes still holding his usual nonchalant air.
