Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 123 Deliver it to your door yourself

Su Ruoyun's gaze swept down over the phone screen as she continued browsing the group messages. Below was a short conversation, a simple exchange.

[The day Yiping went to her father for money (Lin Yu): Who is it? Who is it? It's not you, is it? Curious.jpg]

[Let's earn a small goal first (draft version): hehe.jpg]

[I haven't even earned my small fortune, how could I dare to gamble on something like this?]
And then... nothing more.

Su Ruoyun's gaze was focused on Lin Yufa's words. The word "lesson" caught her eye. Smoking was prohibited in the capital city, a rule known to everyone.

She swiped out of the chat interface, then immediately tapped into Huo Jingcheng's WeChat. Her finger hovered over the chat box, typing a few words and then deleting them. Finally, she simply turned off her phone screen, got up, and strolled back into the house.

……

The next day.

Su Ruoyun went to bed late last night and woke up late this morning, not waking up until 10:30.

Still half asleep, she raised her hand to rub her eyes and patted her head, trying to wake herself up.

Su Ruoyun struggled out of her drowsiness, got up, put on her slippers, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She shuffled into the dining room in her slippers. Breakfast was still on the table, but it had long since gone cold. It would be another hour and a half before Aunt Li was supposed to come for lunch. She was starving and couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to just eat whatever was available.

Su Ruoyun had just sat down at the dining table when the doorbell suddenly rang. She had no choice but to put down her chopsticks, get up, and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, her left hand rested naturally on the door frame, while her right hand gripped the doorknob tightly. She looked up and her eyes immediately caught sight of the man at the door. "Why are you here?"

Her gentle tone carried a hint of surprise and doubt.

After all, the two of them have only not seen each other for ten hours since yesterday.

Huo Jingcheng leaned against the wall, holding a delicate wooden food box in his left hand, raising it slightly to indicate to her, while his right hand was casually in his pocket. His voice was nonchalant: "I've come to your door to have breakfast with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun took two steps and moved aside to make way for Huo Jingcheng to enter.

It wasn't until she walked back to the dining table and sat down that she belatedly realized what was going on. She looked up at Huo Jingcheng, her eyes filled with confusion: "How did you know I was home and hadn't had breakfast yet?"

"WeChat steps." Huo Jingcheng, carrying a food box in his right hand, followed leisurely behind him, revealing the truth.

Upon hearing this, she pursed her lips and said, "Fine."

Su Ruoyun turned her gaze back to the dining table. An exquisite food box was placed in one corner of the long table, while several bowls and plates occupied the center of the table.

She reached out and carried the cold breakfast items from the table into the kitchen, leaving the long table empty.

Immediately, Su Ruoyun turned her gaze to the wooden food box that Huo Jingcheng had brought, which had excellent heat retention.

As Huo Jingcheng opened the bowl, two bowls of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) came into view, topped with a variety of side dishes: tender green celery, carrots, bok choy, plump bean sprouts, and refreshing cucumber shreds... Just looking at them made one's appetite soar.

On the bottom shelf of the food container, a bottle of juice and a cup of coffee were neatly arranged.

Huo Jingcheng reached out and took out two white porcelain bowls. He placed one in front of Su Ruoyun and the other in front of himself. Then he took out juice and coffee, instantly transforming the empty table into a feast. Since the food box contained utensils, Su Ruoyun sat down comfortably in the chair, ready to start eating.

The noodles were chewy and smooth, with a rich and savory sauce. She liked to cook for herself, so she picked up her chopsticks, stirred the sauce evenly, and then put a mouthful into her mouth. It was the 'old Beijing flavor'.

When you're starving, a bowl of noodles with soybean paste like this brings an overwhelming sense of happiness.

The portion of noodles was generous; Su Ruoyun was already full after eating half of it. Holding her chopsticks, she gently poked at the noodles in her bowl and casually asked, "Did what happened last night affect you?"

Huo Jingcheng was fiddling with his noodles when he heard this. He lifted his eyelids and met Su Ruoyun's gaze. He smiled and continued to eat with his chopsticks.

"Yes, I got a good beating last night."

Su Ruoyun was momentarily stunned and didn't expect him to use this to lie to people. She quickly put down her chopsticks, got up and walked to his side to see what was going on.

As she walked towards Huo Jingcheng, she asked, "Where are you injured? Your leg, or your back?"

Hearing her anxious words, Huo Jingcheng felt much better. A lazy smile appeared on his thin lips as he slowly said, "Yes, I have them all."

Just as Su Ruoyun was about to examine the wound closely, he quickly and discreetly stopped her, little did he know that there was actually no injury at all. "Alright, I won't show you, lest I scare you later."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Ruoyun quickly lifted his shirt, and Huo Jingcheng immediately felt a chill run down his back.

Huo Jingcheng turned his head and saw Su Ruoyun staring at his exposed back for a few seconds, then said with a forced smile, "This is what you meant by 'everything'?!"

A man's back has smooth skin; it's hard to find even the slightest blemish, let alone scars.

"..." Huo Jingcheng.

Huo Jingcheng raised his hand, made a fist and lightly pressed it to his lips, cleared his throat, then pulled her hand off his shirt and held it in his palm for the time being, still stubbornly saying, "I was indeed badly injured last night, but luckily I'm in good shape and I've already recovered this morning."

"...You really are something." Su Ruoyun curled her lips into a light sneer, threw down the fabric in her hand, and put her shirt back over Huo Jingcheng's back.

She took a light step, preparing to sit back in her chair, but Huo Jingcheng intercepted her halfway and sat firmly between his laps.

"Are you angry?" Huo Jingcheng put his arm around Su Ruoyun and asked in a low voice.

Su Ruoyun answered truthfully: "No."

She wouldn't get angry over such a small thing; she's not the type to get angry easily.

Fearing he might be affected, Su Ruoyun asked again and again, tilting her head up and fiddling with the delicate buttons on his collar, "Are you really alright after setting off fireworks last night?"

Huo Jingcheng's large hand rested on her lower back, while his other hand hooked a strand of hair that had fallen over her shoulder, twirling it between his fingers and gently caressing it. He looked at her and asked, "Isn't it a bit lame for a boyfriend to not even let go of this?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun's lips curled up, her eyes crinkling with laughter, like a newly blossoming flower, and she praised him generously: "My boyfriend is really amazing."

Huo Jingcheng was flattered by the praise from the person he liked, but before he could even enjoy his happiness for a few seconds, Su Ruoyun had already begun to subtly set a trap for him.

"Can my amazing boyfriend grant me one request?"
