Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 127 Su Mingyan knew about the fireworks set off by Huo Jingcheng.

When Su Ruoyun entered, Old Madam Su was preparing dinner in the dining room. Upon seeing Su Ruoyun come in, she paused for a moment, then took two steps outside and stood at the door, saying in a gentle and kind voice, "Your grandfather and your brother have been busy in the backyard for quite a while. I'll wash some fruit, and you can take it to them."

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen, took out a box of Ruby Roman grapes from the refrigerator. The label clearly stated "Ruby Roman". The grapes were a bright red color and had a jewel-like sheen.

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun nodded and responded crisply with "Okay." After placing her Duma backpack on the sofa, she went into the kitchen.

After washing the grapes, when she saw Su Ruoyun come in, she picked up a few, peeled them, and fed them to her. Then Su Ruoyun took a plate of grapes to the backyard.

There is a vacant lot behind the compound, which was reclaimed a few years ago. Old Mr. and Mrs. Su would grow some vegetables in their spare time.

As she approached, she saw Su Mingyan loosening the soil with an iron hoe.

The man stood with his back to the path, the obsidian cufflinks on his white shirt undone, the sleeves casually folded up a few times to reveal his strong forearms, and the dark-faced wristwatch on his wrist was adorned with glimmers of the afterglow.

The hoe was stuck in the soil, his two hands gripping the handle, one above the other, his shiny leather shoes stomping into the mud without regard for his image, as he bent over and exerted force.

As the soil was being turned over, the lines of the man's back under his shirt gradually became clearer. His firm and upright back muscles flowed smoothly down, and the shirt fabric was perfectly supported by his latissimus dorsi muscles, outlining deep and grotesque grooves.

A few specks of mud were turned onto the leather shoes, and the dress pants inevitably got muddy as well.

Seeing her older brother's disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The old man had experienced hardship in the past and knew the difficulties of famine years. Therefore, he required his three siblings to at least have personally experienced it in order to understand the difficulties involved.

The Su family treated everyone equally, without distinction of rank. When they were young, none of the three could escape the old man's orders to throw them into the fields. Before leaving, he would set requirements and check their "homework" when they returned at sunset. Su Ruoyun was quick and efficient, and was the fastest of the three to finish.

Su Mingyan stood in the field, working diligently without complaint, while Old Su, standing to the side, had his hands behind his back, looking as if he were pointing out the flaws in the world.

The sound of light footsteps approached, causing Old Master Su and Su Mingyan to look up together.

Old Su glanced at her but didn't say much. When he turned back, he saw Su Mingyan leaning on a shovel, his hands clasped on the handle, leisurely resting. He couldn't help but frown and urge her, "Get your work done quickly. If you don't do it well, you can forget about eating tonight. If you're so slow and can't even do this little bit of work properly, how will you lead the tens of thousands of employees under your command in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, he sighed, and went back to work.

Su Mingyan was too busy working in the fields to enjoy himself. Old Master Su didn't like sweets, so in the end, Su Ruoyun ate almost the entire plate of ruby ​​grapes by herself. She watched Su Mingyan work while occasionally picking up a grape from the white porcelain plate, peeling it, and popping it into her mouth.

Ruby Roman grapes have easy-to-peel skins, a tender and rich texture, an explosion of sweet juice, and a rich, complex fruity aroma, with a standard sweetness level of over 18%.

She ate with great relish.

About half an hour later, after turning over the entire clump of soil, Su Mingyan stopped what he was doing, put the hoe aside, dusted the mud off his trousers, bent down to pick up the white towel on the rattan chair, and slowly wiped his hands.

He was covered in sweat, his clothes soaked through. He should have been exhausted, but instead he felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment, which instantly relieved him of the inexplicable pressure he was under.

Su Mingyan casually took a grape from the white porcelain plate and slowly popped it into his mouth.

……

When he returned, Su Mingyan looked like a rough man, carrying a hoe on his back, the handle pressed against his right shoulder, his right hand pressing down on the handle to prevent it from slipping off his shoulder.

"Brother~" Su Ruoyun called out softly as she slowly followed beside Su Mingyan.

Old Su had already gone back to his house to rest, leaving only the brother and sister, who strolled slowly along the path.

She called out "Brother" again, preparing to ask a question, but... she was interrupted. "Dinner is ready, come back and eat first," Old Madam Su called to the two of them from the end of the path.

Su Mingyan responded loudly, "Okay."

Distracted like this, and missing the best opportunity to speak, Su Ruoyun felt awkward about opening her mouth again.

Once the pause occurred, it lasted until after dinner in the evening.

Su Mingyan went upstairs to take a shower and changed out of his crisp but dirty shirt and trousers, wearing only a simple T-shirt and jeans, looking exactly like a spirited eighteen-year-old male college student.

He strolled over leisurely, sat down in the rocking chair, crossed his long legs, exuding ease and comfort.

He casually reached into the cigarette case, pulled out a thin cigarette, put it to his lips, and then took out a custom-made lighter from his pocket. The metal casing had a high-end feel, and it was cool and smooth to the touch. He slid it to light it.

After lighting his cigarette, Su Mingyan held his phone in his left hand while toying with a silver lighter between his fingers in his right, casually opening and closing the lid with a "clang, clang, clang."

After accompanying Madam Su to finish reading today's People's Daily, Su Ruoyun walked into the courtyard and sat down next to Su Mingyan.

She didn't dare to say it directly, so she adopted a roundabout tactic, constantly hesitating and probing.

"Brother~"

While typing a reply to a client on her phone, Su Mingyan glanced at her and asked, "What is it?"

"Do you know about the fireworks display in the new city the day before yesterday?" Su Ruoyun asked tentatively. When she met Su Mingyan's sharp gaze, she felt a little guilty and quickly lowered her head to pick at her fingers.

Su Mingyan let out a soft snort and replied simply, "I know."

Do you know who put it there?

Su Mingyan assumed Su Ruoyun was just gossiping with him and didn't pay much attention. His chest heaved slightly as he reluctantly said, "Huo Jingcheng."

"Huo Jingcheng, he—"

With a "clang," the metal lighter ignited, cutting off Su Ruoyun's words.

Bathed in the dim blue-purple firelight, Su Ruoyun noticed Su Mingyan's displeasure. She dared not say anything more, only managing to utter one sentence: "He's really amazing."

Su Mingyan snorted softly. In front of his younger sister, he couldn't be petty and argue back, so he could only give a lukewarm "hmm".

Su Ruoyun quickly made her escape.

……

At 8:10, she accompanied Madam Su for a walk in the deep courtyard of the mansion, and only then did she learn the reason from Madam Su.

"Your brother had his eye on a piece of land in the new city. He had several meals with people from the Development and Reform Commission, but he was robbed halfway there."
