Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 113 You were the incurable poison, yet you became my only antidote...

After a moment of silence, Su Ruoyun spoke these words with a sincere expression, as if from the bottom of her heart.

In an instant, Huo Jingcheng's voice drifted out from the enclosed carriage, "This illness only flares up in front of you. Are you the cure for me? Or are you the incurable poison that has become my only antidote..."

"..." Su Ruoyun.

His tone was serious, with an inexplicable deep voice, but his words became more and more outrageous. Su Ruoyun felt more and more ashamed as she listened, unable to understand how a man could say such shameless things. She simply turned her head away and remained silent, only looking at the scenery rushing past the window.

It was nearly 6 p.m. when darkness fell over the sky.

The roses have already "retired" from the green belt along the curb. In June, the daylilies will be the main attraction in the flower beds. They are orange-red, bright yellow, and emerald green, with graceful green stems that stretch out their beautiful limbs. When the wind blows, the flower branches tremble and sway, light, elegant, lively and bright.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun raised her hand and lowered the passenger window. A gentle breeze flowed in, and the strands of hair that had fallen beside her ears were blown by the wind. She then began to admire the city maintenance/construction tax.

It was rush hour, and the Hummer struggled to move through the traffic, stopping and starting intermittently. Just as Huo Jingcheng had said, "It'll be a long wait," it probably wouldn't reach Su Ruoyun's apartment for at least an hour.

As the car drove onto the overpass, and the vehicle smoothly rose, the lights of the skyscrapers at one end of the city gradually unfolded in the two people's vision.

Huo Jingcheng looked at the traffic ahead through the windshield, breaking the silence in the car, and asked Su Ruoyun where she lived.

"You didn't know?" Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun turned her head, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

After all, if Huo Jingcheng knew her identity so early on, her apartment address was naturally no surprise.

"Should I know?" Huo Jingcheng asked calmly and composedly.

"Isn't it easy for you to investigate?" Su Ruoyun retorted.

The Huo family is at the top of the pyramid. If Huo Jingcheng wanted to know her information, even if she was a member of the Su family, he could find out most of it if he wanted to.

Moreover, these scions of powerful families have always liked to know everything about others and are keen to find out all the details about them.

One can conceal their identity, switching between several passports and identities at will, but others cannot tolerate any ambiguity and must be 'clean'. Some even go so far as to investigate every 18 generations of their ancestors.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng clicked his tongue lightly, unable to resist defending himself: "Do I look like that kind of person?"

Su Ruoyun slightly pursed her lips, her clear and bright almond-shaped eyes staring straight at him with an expression that said, "What do you think?"

She then entered the name of her apartment complex on the central control screen, and the navigation voice sounded in the quiet car: "Navigating for you now."

After the navigation was successfully set, Su Ruoyun heard a low, husky male voice suddenly 'surrounding' the car, as if accusing her.

"You're slandering me. Apologize to me."

The wind was a bit strong outside, and Su Ruoyun wasn't sure if she had heard clearly or misheard.

"What did you say?"

Huo Jingcheng repeated exactly what he had just said, "You slandered me, apologize to me."

Seeing him being so petty and fussy like a child, holding onto such a small matter, Su Ruoyun's lips twitched involuntarily. However, she composed herself and solemnly apologized to Huo Jingcheng, "I'm sorry." Huo Jingcheng was quite straightforward, forgiving her instantly, "It's okay."

As the Hummer drove away from the overpass, the streetlights on both sides gradually lit up, illuminating a corner of the car. The soft, pale yellow light highlighted the contours of Su Ruoyun's beautiful face and her delicate, clear skin.

A message popped up. She looked down, pressed the side button, and unlocked the app. It was from Xiao Li, an employee of the teahouse, asking if she was coming to the teahouse again today.

In the afternoon, when she left the teahouse, she mentioned that she would go back to the teahouse after brewing the tea to put the tea set back.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Huo stayed until now. If they went to the teahouse again, it would take too much time to go back and forth. Su Ruoyun raised her hand, opened the chat box, and started typing on the keyboard to reply to Xiao Li.

After she finished replying to Xiao Li, she looked up and stretched her sore neck, but unexpectedly, her eyes met Huo Jingcheng's in the rearview mirror.

Are you free this Saturday?

If the question is phrased like this at the beginning, then the next step will definitely be to extend an invitation.

Su Ruoyun held her phone, pondering whether she should be free or not. After only a few seconds, she said, "No."

Huo Jingcheng spoke bluntly: "Are you really busy, or are you just pretending? I want to ask you out."

“I have time, but I hate you, why should I go out with you?” Su Ruoyun still remembered what Huo Jingcheng had been harping on about earlier.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng's sharp, thin lips curled into a playful smile. His gaze towards her held a hint of barely perceptible mischief. His long, slender fingers curled up and tapped the steering wheel lightly, his tone full of teasing: "It seems you love me quite deeply, to the point that love has turned into hate."

Su Ruoyun looked bewildered, licked her dry lips, and after a long while, she found her voice and asked in confusion, "...I didn't say I hate you?"

She was somewhat confused, wondering why Huo Jingcheng's topic could jump so quickly, turning a single sentence into love and hate.

"So you love me?" Huo Jingcheng reacted quickly, immediately replying with a flirtatious and ambiguous tone.

Su Ruoyun never imagined that there would be another person in the world with even more twisted logic than herself.

She pursed her lips, turned her gaze to him, and silently stared at Huo Jingcheng for a few seconds. "You really should go see a doctor at the General Hospital."

"Okay."

Huo Jingcheng casually agreed. As he spoke, he glanced at the surrounding road conditions, his large, well-defined hands gripping the steering wheel. With a slight exertion, he was about to turn left and make a U-turn.

Seeing his actions, Su Ruoyun thought he was really going to the military headquarters. She exclaimed "Hey!" and quickly reached out to grab his arm, her soft voice tinged with urgency, "No!"

Two or three seconds later, the Hummer smoothly drove through the intersection.

It wasn't until she caught a glimpse of the faint smile playing on Huo Jingcheng's lips out of the corner of her eye that Su Ruoyun belatedly realized she had been deceived by the man before her. After all…

Huo Jingcheng didn't even turn on his left turn signal.

She withdrew her hand, and the lingering sensation of firm, powerful muscles within her soft palm remained.

Su Ruoyun lowered her eyes, her gaze casually sweeping over her palm, her five fingers unconsciously curling up slightly, making a loose clench.
