Chapter 458: 458, Admire, envy Zishi
After her brief meet-up with Yan Pingdan, Song Qinghuan returned to the villa. She sat quietly in front of the dining table, stealing glances at Shi Yuhuan across from her.
Even with her mind in a whirl, she tried to keep her composure, picking at her food.
This man, so elegant and composed no matter the situation. He was the first man, other than her family, to show her gentleness and concern, and also the first man she ever fell in love with. Hence, being with him put her at ease and made her feel happy.
She reckoned that if she lost him, she may never get to experience love again in this lifetime.
Yet, all he’s been to her was cruel.
It was hard for her to fathom how he could treat her with care while scheming all along to throw her into danger.
Looking back, the thought was terrifying.
“Song Qinghuan!” Shi Yuhuan lifted his gaze to her, lightly calling her name.
Song Qinghuan was taken aback, then raised her eyes to look at him: “Wha… What’s up?”
She thought Shi Yuhuan had caught her stealing glances at him, causing her to feel guilty and even stuttered in her speech.
“There’s something on the corner of your mouth…” Shi Yuhuan said lightly, and then raised his hand pointing to his own right mouth corner.
Song Qinghuan’s immediate reaction was to stick out her tongue and lick the corner of her right mouth Shi Yuhuan pointed at, then rubbing it with her hand.
After wiping the grain of rice from the corner of her mouth, she buried her head and continued eating, not daring to hold Shi Yuhuan’s gaze, afraid that he would see through her, understand her thoughts. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Shi Yuhuan was such an insightful man, how could he possibly not see through her troubles?
He simply stopped eating, laid down his chopsticks and asked softly, “Anything you want to ask?”
He should tell her. After all, Yan Pingdan had told her everything. Since she knew everything now, there must be many things she needed to confirm with him. It would be even stranger if she had no questions.
“No, I’ll go on with my meal, eat slowly.” Song Qinghuan stood up without a glance at Shi Yuhuan, and left the dining table.
What more to ask? Some things, when asked too explicitly, only serve to cause one’s own embarrassment.
Shi Yuhuan watched Song Qinghuan’s retreating figure, his finger tracing a charming arc across the corner of his lips, his deep eyes shimmering complexly.
Song Qinghuan first went into the kitchen and took some food for Zishi before she opened the door and stepped outside.
The snow had stopped, the sun was out, and the rays of sunlight caused the snowy ground to melt, returning the land to its usual appearance. Zishi was lazily lying on the ground, basking in the sunlight.
Seeing Song Qinghuan, Zishi immediately got up and rushed over, barking a few times, then lovingly rubbed himself against her leg.
Song Qinghuan squatted down and stroked Zishi’s soft head, then put the pork chop and bone from her hand before him: “Hungry? Eat up!”
Zishi looked delighted, barked at Song Qinghuan a couple more times, then happily dug into his food.
Watching him, Song Qinghuan laughed softly. Sometimes, she envied him.
She once saw a post online saying “Living like a dog is better than living like a human.” She thought about it now and found it fitting; Shi Yuhuan treated this dog better than anyone else.
Saying that she was envious and jealous of Zishi? It seemed to be somewhat true.
“Had no clue your leg is still not okay.” Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind.
A surprised Song Qinghuan reacted instinctively. As she turned backward, she lost her balance in the squatting position and fell backward…
