Chapter 131 Isn’t This Too Intimate
Yes, we have no tomorrow.
This song’s name deeply touched Qin Yueran’s heartstrings and stirred up her sadness about the past.
That someone with Su Rui’s personality would choose such a song, and play this famous piano piece with such a different feeling—the depth within it was certainly not something that could be fully appreciated in a short time.
If Lin Aoxue were here, she would definitely recognize that the piece Su Rui was playing now was the same one he had hummed in her car before.
In other words, this song held extremely important meaning for Su Rui in some way.
Being embraced by such a beautiful woman, Su Rui seemed surprised by how tightly Qin Yueran held him. His arm around her slender waist also began to tighten, pulling her close against him, fitting together perfectly.
In his arms was an incredibly alluring woman. Normally, Su Rui would certainly have some romantic thoughts, but at this moment, he didn’t have the slightest inappropriate idea.
Qin Yueran could understand his piano music, which was very much like the ancient tale of high mountains and flowing water.
Held warmly by Su Rui, she likewise had no other thoughts, just wanting to properly embrace this man who evoked such sympathy.
Those past events had already scattered with the wind, and the future still needed to be faced with hope.
In this moment, Qin Yueran suddenly felt her mind become much clearer, as if she was no longer so melancholy about future matters.
The two didn’t embrace tightly for very long, at most about a minute. Qin Yueran was the first to straightforwardly let go, and Su Rui released her almost simultaneously.
Qin Yueran’s pretty face was flushed. She adjusted her qipao and looked at Su Rui with sparkling eyes, smiling: “I didn’t realize you had such good chest muscles.”
Su Rui calmly accepted her sparkling gaze and smiled warmly in return: “I also didn’t realize your chest wasn’t small.”
“Get lost, you pervert. My figure has golden proportions.” Though teased by Su Rui this way, Qin Yueran wasn’t angry at all. Although her words sounded annoyed, her eyes still held a trace of amusement.
After two piano pieces and a simple embrace, their relationship had unknowingly progressed further. Those subtle chemical reactions seemed to go unnoticed even by themselves.
For some reason, now standing face to face with Su Rui, Qin Yueran found herself missing their warm embrace from earlier, with a sense of reluctance deep inside for those strong arms.
In her twenty-some years of life, she had never had such intimate contact with a man. Thinking about it now, it seemed somewhat absurd, somewhat crazy.
As if seeing through Qin Yueran’s thoughts, Su Rui smiled and said: “Did you not get enough hugging?”
“Get out of here.” Qin Yueran punched Su Rui’s chest once, then walked to the piano and carefully closed the lid gently. She knew that the song “We Have No Tomorrow” would remain deeply in her memory.
Su Rui didn’t leave, and Qin Yueran showed no intention of sending him away. The two sat side by side on the white sofa on the rooftop, feeling the night breeze and watching the stars. Su Rui’s gaze drifted far away.
Qin Yueran had taken off her shoes, her incomparable long legs pressed together and laid sideways on the sofa.
The late May night breeze still carried a slight chill. Su Rui looked at Qin Yueran’s exquisite legs, shook his head, pulled a thin blanket from behind the sofa, and covered her with it.
Qin Yueran was surprised by Su Rui’s action. She looked at the blanket, a strange light flashing in her eyes, then teasingly smiled: “Why are you suddenly so concerned about me? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me.”
“Fallen… for you?”
Su Rui’s expression turned strange, deliberately emphasizing the word “for” very heavily, and said with a disdainful tone: “You make it sound like I’ve slept with you.”
“You…” Qin Yueran was instantly speechless. What a wonderful night and beautiful atmosphere, how could this guy ruin her good mood with just a few words?
Su Rui looked at Qin Yueran’s expression and made an extremely annoying—victory sign.
…
Qin Yueran gritted her teeth and directly threw off the thin blanket, refusing Su Rui’s kindness.
However, exposing those two perfect legs was certainly eye-catching enough.
Su Rui rubbed his eyes, dazzled by the beautiful legs, then reached for the blanket and covered Qin Yueran again.
“If you keep wearing qipaos and high heels every day, you’ll eventually get arthritis, which will be very painful.”
“You talk as if you’ve had arthritis before.”
Seeing Su Rui cover her with the blanket again, Qin Yueran’s eyes flickered, and she finally didn’t remove it.
“What, you’re getting addicted to arguing with me?” Su Rui gave Qin Yueran an annoyed look and said: “Seriously, wear fewer high heels and qipaos in the future, and more pants and flat shoes. It’s better for your health.”
Hearing Su Rui nagging about “better for your health” again, Qin Yueran finally smiled.
It seemed this fourth Miss Qin had quite a low threshold for humor.
“Always talking about what’s good for health like an old person,” Qin Yueran pouted.
“My heart is old and weathered; people with rich experiences are usually like this.”
In response to Su Rui’s joke, Qin Yueran nodded with unusual seriousness, showing agreement.
Su Rui’s eyes scanned up and down Qin Yueran’s upper body, and she used her arms to shield her prominent chest, asking vigilantly: “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing at all.” Su Rui irritably pulled another thin blanket and wrapped Qin Yueran’s entire upper body.
“What are you doing? I’m not cold.” Although Qin Yueran said this, she made no move to remove the blanket.
“By the time you feel cold, the chill has already entered your body, and it’s too late to add clothes then.” Su Rui glared at Qin Yueran: “I wonder how you’ll manage when you’re old.”
Qin Yueran gave Su Rui a sidelong glance: “You won’t need to take care of me when I’m old, so why are you worrying about it?”
Su Rui didn’t even look at her, gazing at the night view outside, and said: “Who knows which unfortunate man will end up with you?”
…
The two of them just sat on the sofa engaging in meaningless banter, which somehow continued for two hours.
They would argue for a while, rest for a while, drink some water, and before they knew it, it was already three in the morning.
The bustling Ninghai had quieted down.
The sound of engines on the road had almost disappeared, replaced by the distant sound of waves.
Stars twinkled, and the moonlight was exceptionally clear.
Such a night was rare, such a night was precious.
“Yueran, do you know that in all of Ninghai, you and Qin Ranlong are the people who know the most about my history,” Su Rui said.
Upon hearing the name “Yueran,” Qin Yueran felt somewhat surprised, because apart from close friends, others didn’t address her this way.
“That sounds like an honor, but to be honest, besides knowing you have a six-star top-secret identity, I really don’t know anything else,” Qin Yueran said truthfully.
“You’ll know gradually.”
Su Rui smiled faintly. Regarding Qin Yueran, he truly had no sense of caution. A girl who could understand his piano music, who could embrace him tightly with tears flowing—how could such a person be bad?
Although they had only met a few times, Su Rui felt a very high level of rapport with Qin Yueran, a feeling that was rare.
“Actually, I’ve always been very curious. If there’s a chance, you must tell me about it,” Qin Yueran couldn’t help but recall Su Rui’s appearance when playing the piano, a figure that gave off a sense of iron-blooded tenderness.
From childhood, Qin Yueran had heard countless piano pieces, but she had never seen a man who could play the piano with such feeling. No, it was no longer just a feeling, but an emotion—he had given life to the music.
“I will.” Su Rui’s gaze became profound. He looked at the night sky and said: “Tell me about yourself. Are you planning to hide here forever? This can’t be a long-term solution. A few more years and you’ll become an old maid.”
“An old maid?” Qin Yueran shook her head: “I’d rather become an old maid than marry someone I don’t like.”
“Maybe your future husband is a good man hard to find anywhere in the world.” Su Rui smiled mischievously: “Why not get married and see how it goes?”
“Is this how you help?” Qin Yueran glared fiercely at Su Rui, then leaned back on the sofa and said: “I’ve figured it out. If they continue to force me to marry, I’ll never go home. If they push me too far, I’ll jump off this rooftop and see if they’ll worry then.”
Su Rui scornfully curled his lip: “What a fool. Is there a more stupid method than that?”
“Will you die if you don’t criticize me?”
Qin Yueran’s foot emerged from under the blanket and kicked Su Rui’s thigh hard.
However, before she could withdraw her foot, Su Rui grabbed it!
“Let go.”
“I won’t.”
“You’re being a pervert.” With her foot in Su Rui’s grip, Qin Yueran’s face was covered in blush, with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
“You bullied me first. Does this world only count men harassing women as perverted, while women assaulting men isn’t a crime?” Su Rui sneered.
“Twisted logic. It’s you men who take advantage, getting benefits and still playing innocent.” Qin Yueran was still trying hard to pull her foot back, but though Su Rui seemed to be using no strength, she couldn’t move it at all.
“Will you let go? I’m warning you…”
“I hate being threatened.”
With that, Su Rui held Qin Yueran’s ankle with one hand and tickled her sole with the other!
Since childhood, the soles of her feet had been Qin Yueran’s most sensitive spot, and what she feared most was being tickled there!
She hadn’t expected Su Rui to be so bold as to directly tickle her!
This was too much for her. The intense ticklish sensation spread from her foot throughout her body, instantly draining her strength.
“Stop it, stop it, I’m begging you.”
Qin Yueran lay on the sofa armrest, completely unable to struggle. With Su Rui doing this to her, she went completely limp!
Well, anyone who didn’t know better might think Su Rui was doing something unspeakable to her!
“Now you admit you’re wrong?”
Su Rui put down Qin Yueran’s foot: “Next time you dare kick me, I’ll tickle your feet.”
Finally free, Qin Yueran looked at Su Rui with a flushed face, her eyes sparkling: “Are we being too intimate like this?”
