Chapter 060 The Sunshine and You Are Both Here
“I’m serious, no one here knows you, so you don’t need to always keep up appearances. Perhaps it’s already become instinctive for you, but what’s wrong with letting loose occasionally? Have you forgotten what I told you? Empty your mind, empty your mind – you still haven’t taken these words to heart.”
Su Rui was lecturing away, but Lin Aoxue didn’t offer any rebuttals. It’s worth noting that this ice beauty typically wouldn’t even deign to acknowledge her father’s lectures!
“Comrade Aoxue, if my words haven’t moved you, then just keep standing there and watch me sunbathe. I usually take very long naps!”
After speaking, Su Rui closed his eyes, swinging one leg over the other, appearing quite content.
Lin Aoxue stood beside him for two minutes, observing how comfortable Su Rui looked, and somehow felt a barely perceptible trace of envy.
Of course, her expression remained unchanged. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Aoxue walked over to Su Rui’s side, straightened her clothes, and sat down elegantly with her legs together!
The moment Lin Aoxue sat down, Su Rui, who was pretending to sleep, opened his eyes just a crack. He clearly saw how her skirt wrapped around her hips, revealing devilishly smooth curves. This woman was truly exceptional among the exceptional. If he could start training her properly now, there would be no shortage of fun in the future!
It seemed Su Rui needed to make a detailed training plan for himself!
Su Rui propped himself up on his elbows, half-sitting up, with dappled sunlight falling on his smiling face.
“Just lie down directly. Sitting like this is fine for a while, but it gets uncomfortable after a long time. I can tell your cervical spine isn’t in great condition.”
Lin Aoxue gave Su Rui a surprised look, somewhat taken aback.
Indeed, years of working hunched over a desk had put enormous pressure on her cervical spine, and her cervical spondylosis was gradually worsening. Sometimes her neck pain would lead to insufficient blood supply to her brain, causing dizziness – a common occurrence for her.
Lin Aoxue nodded, gave a soft “mm” sound, and then followed Su Rui’s example by lying down gently, placing her hands behind her head.
At this moment, from his angle, Su Rui could clearly see that the prominent curves on Lin Aoxue’s chest didn’t soften when she lay down, indicating that those two peaks had astonishingly good elasticity.
In such a poetic moment, Su Rui really shouldn’t have been thinking about such things that would ruin the atmosphere, but Lin Aoxue’s beauty was heart-stopping, and he simply couldn’t control himself.
“It’s truly too beautiful,” Su Rui sighed, speaking involuntarily.
“What did you say?” Lin Aoxue had heard Su Rui’s spontaneous remark.
“Nothing at all. Close your eyes and rest. It’s nice and warm here, and you don’t need to worry about catching cold. Rest assured, with me here, no one will come near you. No one will take advantage of you.”
Su Rui was excitedly thinking to himself: “I can feast my eyes now!”
Hearing Su Rui’s words, Lin Aoxue naturally had no suspicions. She had personally experienced his martial skills. Thinking back to her knee strike against him at the airport, why hadn’t he retaliated?
Lin Aoxue closed her eyes, feeling the dappled sunlight warming her entire body. Her eyelids were bathed in an orange-red glow from the sunlight, and her whole body felt warm.
Having never experienced this before, Lin Aoxue unconsciously revealed a slight smile. To Su Rui, this smile was so beautiful it made his heart tremble.
At the very least, Su Rui, watching from the side, found his breathing noticeably quickening.
Lin Aoxue had one hand behind her head, and the other shielding her eyes, as sunlight directly on the eyes makes it difficult to fall asleep.
At this moment, she felt someone pulling her hand away, and then something covered her eyes, blocking the orange-red sunlight that had been filtering through her eyelids.
Su Rui had plucked a large magnolia leaf and gently placed it over Lin Aoxue’s eyes.
Lin Aoxue didn’t open her eyes; she seemed to know what Su Rui had done for her.
This quiet afternoon, this lawn, this shade, this leaf, would become an eternal scene in Lin Aoxue’s heart.
Lin Aoxue usually didn’t sleep very well, but this nap was exceptionally peaceful. She slept for a full two hours, and when she groggily opened her eyes, she saw Su Rui sitting nearby, smiling at her.
When you wake up in warm sunlight and see someone smiling at you, that feeling is truly wonderfully unique.
Lin Aoxue wasn’t a sentimental woman. She wouldn’t carefully analyze where this wonderful feeling in her heart came from, or what word would best describe it. She just felt good seeing Su Rui smile like that.
After spacing out for a while, Su Rui asked Lin Aoxue, “Shall we take a taxi back, or ride the bus?”
After the two-hour experience of being squeezed on the bus, Su Rui thought Lin Aoxue would surely be wary, but to his surprise, Lin Aoxue nodded and said, “Let’s take the crowded bus.”
This surprised Su Rui. It seemed this girl had undergone some welcome changes!
Standing up and straightening her clothes, Lin Aoxue was about to leave when she noticed the magnolia leaf lying quietly by her feet.
Looking again at the lawn and the shade, at the dappled sunlight, Lin Aoxue actually crouched down, picked up the leaf, and carefully placed it in her bag.
…
Since it wasn’t yet the evening rush hour, the bus wasn’t as crowded as it had been in the morning. When Su Rui and Lin Aoxue boarded, there were two seats side by side available for them.
Su Rui gestured, and Lin Aoxue took the window seat. Su Rui sat down right next to her, and their arms inadvertently touched before immediately separating.
Su Rui hummed a tune, secretly pleased. It couldn’t be helped – the bus seats were so narrow. Such confined spaces were perfect for creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
Lin Aoxue watched the light and shadows flashing past the window, not speaking the entire way, while Su Rui contentedly observed the passengers getting on and off the bus, equally comfortable.
Life is always so hurried; it’s rare to have a moment to thoroughly enjoy leisure time.
If you live in this world with only your goals in sight, moving too quickly, you’ll truly miss many beautiful scenes along the way. Even without Su Rui saying it, Lin Aoxue felt this truth. From her expression as she gazed out the window, her eyes slightly moving, Su Rui understood everything.
After getting off the bus, the two walked side by side slowly back to the Lin family estate. When the security guards outside saw the young miss of the Lin family walking back on her own, they were quite stunned.
It’s worth noting that their young miss always traveled by car, never walking on her own. What was going on today?
“Well, I’ve delivered you safely home, so I should be going now. I won’t shamelessly stay for dinner at your place.” Su Rui said very cheekily: “Of course, if you insist I stay, I don’t think I would refuse.”
Lin Aoxue glanced at Su Rui, her expression softening slightly, though this softening was almost imperceptible. “Fine, then I won’t insist. You can go home by yourself!”
With that, Lin Aoxue turned away without another word and walked straight toward the villa.
“You, Lin Aoxue!”
Su Rui stood there fuming. This girl was really something! He had accompanied her for an entire day – if not meritorious, at least he had put in the effort! He had patiently guided her for so long, yet she didn’t say a single word of thanks. He was just being polite, and she really didn’t invite him to stay for dinner. How could she be so inconsiderate?
Despite his frustration, Su Rui wouldn’t actually follow Lin Aoxue into the villa to mooch a meal. Her changes today had already greatly pleased him as the instigator.
“Mom, I’m home,” she said as she entered the villa and saw her mother watching TV. Lin Aoxue unprecedentedly took the initiative to speak.
When Lin’s mother heard these words, she felt like the sun was rising from the west!
Her daughter was usually cold and aloof, rarely speaking at the company or at home. She would typically shut herself in her room upon returning home, like a clam. What had happened today that she would actively report her status?
At this time, Su Rui had nothing to do, so he wandered around and spotted an IKEA nearby, which he entered.
Su Rui really liked IKEA’s model rooms. Although they were small and the furniture wasn’t high-end, they created a very cozy feeling. While he wasn’t particularly demanding about his living conditions, shouldn’t a person have some aspirations?
Moreover, to be honest, Su Rui loved eating IKEA’s Swedish meatballs. Every visit, he would order a large plate – they were cheap and authentic, truly genuine Swedish flavor. That’s how foodies are – thinking about food wherever they go.
People who don’t rent or buy homes in big cities can hardly understand the comfortable feeling of wandering around IKEA. Su Rui looked at the small model apartments, sitting on sofas and squeezing mattresses, feeling very comfortable. If possible, he would rather stay here playing with his phone for an entire afternoon – no one to bother him, very quiet and pleasant.
“Hmm, this place is really nice,” Su Rui muttered to himself. Next time he would have to bring that girl Lin Aoxue here to experience how people living in small apartments in big cities feel.
“The Lin family has an estate in this city where land is worth its weight in gold – they’re truly wealthy. I must make this bourgeois girl experience the life of the common class.”
Su Rui went to the IKEA restaurant, ordered a cheesecake and a plate of Swedish meatballs, along with a glass of cranberry juice. He found a seat and slowly ate while looking at the scenery outside the window.
This guy usually wolfed down his food, so it was rare to see him chewing slowly like this.
The entire meal cost just over thirty yuan, about the price of a fast food meal. Many people come to IKEA specifically to experience the restaurant.
However, just as Su Rui was about to put a meatball in his mouth, he saw a familiar figure.
