MO Ruyue took a step back, and then another. This time, she lit the oil lamp and began to set up the table.
Her figure was reflected on the window paper. It was no longer a manâs figure, but a womanâs exquisite figure.
With Gu Yingâs cautiousness, he would definitely check the identity of everyone who stayed in the restaurant before he made a move to make sure that he would not hurt the innocent.
She had moved in as a man, and now she was showing her female body. Such an abnormality would definitely attract Gu Yingâs attention.
MO Ruyue didnât want to wait anymore. She wanted to see him now!
There was a faint âtapâ sound outside the window, as if something had fallen on the arched eaves of the next floor.
Itâs here!
MO Ruyue picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of wine into the empty cup opposite him.
Her hands were shaking so badly that she had to hold her wrist with her other hand to prevent the wine from spilling out of the glass.
In order to increase the concentration of the wine fragrance, MO Ruyue had already warmed the wine in the medium. Now that she poured it out, the wine fragrance immediately overflowed and suppressed the fishy and sweet smell that filled the room.
The window was already slightly open, and the fragrance was spreading out through the gap.
âClatter. â
There was another sound, as if someone had slipped and almost fell. Then, there was a â bang â sound. The window was wide open, and a figure broke through the window and slowly stood up.
Even though his face was covered by a black cloth, his starry eyes had already announced the identity of the person who had come.
âWhy are you here?â
His eyes were full of surprise. He blurted out a sentence, but it was followed by layers of disappointment.
âIt seems that youâre not very happy to see me?â MO Ruyue raised an eyebrow and teased him on purpose.
âIt seems that every time we meet, the one whoâs unhappy is you and not me.â
The man frowned.
Was she still his benefactor, MO Ruyue?
Just now, she was⦠Was she teasing him?
He had always been confident in his intuition, but this time, he was a little uncertain.
The smile in MO Ruyueâs eyes was almost overflowing. God knew how much she wanted to run into his arms now, but this would probably scare Gu Ying. Even if she was his benefactor, she probably couldnât escape the fate of being thrown out.
She felt her hands and feet moving. She had never been so impulsive before.
âItâs a long night and itâs so cold. You came all the way here, do you want to sit down and have a glass of wine to warm your body?â
No, her lips were trembling as she spoke. She could not continue acting!
âHow did you get this wine?â
The manâs attention was instantly brought back to the wine. This kind of wine fragrance could only be found in the wine created by Ice Flame, and there was only one in the world. That was why he had lost his composure when he smelled it just now and jumped in on impulse.
âLetâs try it first. The taste will be different when itâs cold.â
MO Ruyue was not in a hurry to answer his question. Instead, she pushed the wine glass that belonged to him forward.
The manâs eyes flickered, and he strode over. He picked up the glass and was about to drink it in one gulp when a soft palm reached over and covered the back of his hand, stopping his movements for a moment.
âArenât you afraid that Iâll poison you?â
MO Ruyue looked straight into his eyes and asked again, âArenât you going to ask why Iâm here?â
âIf you wanted to harm me, I would have been a skeleton a long time ago.â
The man shook his head. What he didnât say was that even if the wine was poisoned, he would still drink it.
She had saved his life, so there was no harm in returning it to her.
MO Ruyue put down her hand. The sudden loss of warmth made the manâs body tremble, as if he wanted to grab her hand back.
In order to suppress that impulse, he pulled off his mask and drank the wine in one gulp. Then he was stunned. After a long time, he turned his eyes and looked at MO Ruyue in a daze.
The woman in front of him smiled like a flower, but her eyes were filled with tears. She smiled at him and said, âItâs me, Gu Ying!â
âIce⦠Flame?â
Gu Yingâs throat rolled a few times and his lips trembled. After a long time, he finally spat out two words.
His voice was extremely soft, as if he was afraid that he was dreaming and that he would wake up if he were to speak a little louder.
MO Ruyue flew forward and pounced into the arms of the ice flame like a swallow returnmg to tne torest. sne Jumped directly on top ot mm and nugged him tightly with all four limbs.
Gu Ying subconsciously caught the woman who had pounced on him. After confirming that the soft and warm touch was real, he immediately held her tightly in his arms.
Thatâs right, it was his Ice Flame!
That wine, that body fragrance, and the way she pounced on him were all unique to Ice Flame!
No wonder he felt that she was so familiar. No wonder he had inexplicably trusted her the first time he saw her, even willing to entrust his life to her. âIâve been looking for you for a long time⦠A long timeâ¦â
Gu Ying buried his face deep into MO Ruyueâs shoulder. His slightly cool hair exuded the cool fragrance of green tea. If it was in his previous life, it would have been mixed with a minty fragrance, which was the smell of Gu Ying.
They had been together for too long, almost like Siamese twins, so much so that the other partyâs scent had seeped into their skin and bone marrow, and could no longer be wiped away.
MO Ruyue nodded hard, her cheeks rubbing against Gu Yingâs cheeks and neck. She wanted to say something, but she couldnât say a word. She could only lean harder on him, wishing she could be embedded into his flesh and soul.
Gu Yingâs grip was so strong that it almost broke her bones. Every time she exhaled, only a small amount of air would come back in. If this continued, she would be in danger of suffocating.
However, she did not care at all. Gu Ying was so excited that he had forgotten himself, but he would be the first to realize that something was wrong with her. Besides, as long as she could reunite with him, this degree of pain was nothing at all.
Sure enough, as MO Ruyue had expected, although Gu Ying had lost his form for a moment, when he heard the heavy and hurried breathing by his ear, he almost immediately let go of her and pulled her away a little. He looked at her and asked nervously, âBing âEr, are you okay? Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Did I hurt you?â
MO Ruyue smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of gentleness.
She raised her hand and carefully traced every inch of the lines.
It was different. Although the degree of his faceâs beauty was no different from that of his previous life, it was still different.
However, her Gu Ying, no matter if it was in her previous life or this life, was the best man!
âI wanted to find you, but there were some things I couldnât let go of, so I was a step later than you. I originally thought that once I settled things next spring, I would start to search for you.â
MO Ruyue recalled what she had just heard and hurriedly explained to Gu Ying.
She did not forget him for a single second. Ever since she realized that she had been reborn, she had been madly trying to find him!
âI know, I understand.â
Gu Ying shook his head, his eyes full of smiles, layer by layer, no longer as cold and dead as before.
âYing, I have another secret to tell you. But before that, should we clean up this place first?â
MO Ruyue already couldnât wait to show him her space, but there was still something to do at the moment, so she could only endure it for a while.
Just as she was about to jump down from Gu Ying, the big hand on her back pressed her down again and wrapped her tightly in his arms..
