Chapter 162 Night Rose
Hearing these words, Su Rui really wanted to hug Lin Aoxue and have a good cry.
How did this girl manage to make every gesture so touching?
Could it be that she had already prepared herself and was waiting in the room to… welcome him back?
That thought made his mouth go dry!
Su Rui couldn’t help but open his water bottle again and finish the remaining water.
“Um, let me ask you something. Do you know why Lin Aoxue wants me to go to the Lin family estate?” Su Rui hesitated before asking. He couldn’t help it; his heart was pounding like a little deer running wild.
Wang Yuan wasn’t too sure either: “The young miss just told me to pick you up, she didn’t mention anything else.”
“She’s probably already asleep by now.” Su Rui didn’t think about it further. After chatting with Wang Yuan for a few more sentences, he leaned back in the rear seat and dozed off comfortably.
After all, the distance from Ninghai Police Station to the Lin family estate was quite far, so he could get some more sleep.
To be honest, tonight, the performance of those guys from the capital had left him feeling quite satisfied.
The car stopped in front of the villa, and Su Rui slowly woke up. This guy’s sleep quality was truly enviable; he could enter deep sleep anytime, anywhere.
“It’s late, you should go rest too,” Su Rui smiled at Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan gave him a smile that all men would understand: “Young master, you should rest early too.”
With that, the two rascals burst into laughter again.
Su Rui walked into the living room where the wall lamps were still on.
As soon as he entered, he saw Housekeeper Li bringing dishes to the table.
“Young master, you’re back.”
Auntie Li was one of the housekeepers in Lin Fuzhang’s home and had worked there for many years. Now many people in the Lin family secretly called Su Rui “young master,” which naturally made him overjoyed.
Su Rui asked with some surprise: “Auntie Li, it’s so late, why aren’t you resting yet?”
“I just got up a little while ago,” Auntie Li smiled. “After Wang Yuan picked you up, he called me, so I got up to prepare food for you. These were all specially instructed by the young miss.”
“Lin Aoxue instructed this?”
“Of course, the young miss cares a lot about you.” Auntie Li smiled as she pulled out a chair for Su Rui and poured him a glass of water. “Young master, please eat. It’s just four dishes and a soup, quite simple.”
“Not simple at all,” Su Rui looked at the dishes on the table and the steaming porridge, his smile becoming even warmer.
Having wandered for so many years, Su Rui had never received such good treatment. He had always been hard on himself; when hungry at night, he would at most cook a bowl of noodles. Now, returning late at night, tired and dusty, he was welcomed with a table full of hot, fragrant food. This scene moved Su Rui.
Yes, it was moving. These two simple words represented a very important emotion.
A wanderer’s heart is hard to express.
These simple plates and bowls, these steaming dishes, gave Su Rui who had wandered for so many years a sense of belonging.
This sense of belonging hadn’t appeared in his life for several years.
Even with countless honors and accolades, even being respectfully called the Sun God by the Western underworld, he had never found this sense of belonging.
This sense of belonging sounds simple, but it’s truly difficult to obtain.
A warm gaze, a pair of clean chopsticks, a steaming bowl of noodle soup—like now.
Once, when Su Rui wore that green military uniform and lived in that iron-built military camp, he could have this feeling. However, because of that incident five years ago, this sense of belonging completely disappeared.
But this time, in this estate in Ninghai, beside this simple table of food, that long-lost sense of belonging returned to Su Rui’s heart and quietly grew within him.
“Young master, don’t space out, eat quickly.”
Auntie Li sat down beside Su Rui and said.
“Ah, yes.”
Su Rui’s thoughts were pulled back. He smiled, picked up a steamed bun with the dishes, and began to eat bite by bite.
Although it was already June, the night weather was still a bit cool. Being able to eat this hot late-night meal was warming both to the stomach and the heart.
Su Rui didn’t eat quickly, not like his usual whirlwind style, but chewed slowly, savoring it. He was reluctant for this meal to end so quickly.
“Auntie Li, you should go rest. I can clean up the dishes myself later,” Su Rui said, seeing that Auntie Li was still accompanying him.
“No need, young master. I’m not tired, and besides, this is our job. How could we let you clean up?” Auntie Li certainly wouldn’t accept Su Rui’s proposal, otherwise Lin Fuzhang would definitely criticize her if he found out.
Su Rui smiled apologetically and didn’t insist further. Half an hour later, he finally put down his chopsticks.
“Auntie Li, thank you. The food was delicious,” Su Rui stacked the bowls together, preparing to get up.
“Young master, wait a moment. The young miss said that after you finish eating, you should go to her room.” When Auntie Li said this, an extremely suggestive smile appeared on her face.
No woman isn’t gossipy, whether fifteen or fifty years old. In the middle of the night, asking a man to go to a woman’s room—this really sparked unlimited imagination.
But Auntie Li was genuinely happy. After all, the young master was handsome and stylish, and the young miss was beautiful and lovely. Who wouldn’t be happy seeing such a well-matched couple?
Having served the Lin family for so many years, Auntie Li regarded Aoxue as her own child. Every time she saw Lin Aoxue being cold and not finding a boyfriend or dating, Auntie Li would feel anxious and worried for her. If this continued, she would really become a leftover woman. Fortunately, Su Rui’s timely appearance completely relieved Auntie Li of this worry.
“Lin Aoxue wants me to go to her room?” Hearing this, Su Rui was slightly stunned.
“Yes,” Auntie Li answered with a smile.
“When did she say that?”
Su Rui couldn’t help but be curious. Since he returned, Auntie Li had been watching him eat the whole time. When did she receive Lin Aoxue’s instructions? Was it before she went to sleep?
“When Wang Yuan called, I notified the young miss, and she told me then.”
“She hasn’t slept all night?” When Su Rui thought of this, that feeling of being moved grew again. This kind of waiting, is it called devotion?
Well, Su Rui was really being too narcissistic.
Auntie Li smiled and said, “Young master, you should go quickly. Don’t keep the young miss waiting too long.”
“Alright.” Su Rui nodded with a smile and turned to walk upstairs step by step.
“This girl is really something,” thinking of this, Su Rui couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
Su Rui stood at the door and knocked gently. The door was opened from inside by Lin Aoxue.
Seeing her appearance, Su Rui was momentarily stunned.
Lin Aoxue was wearing a long nightgown with sleeves. Although it wasn’t revealing at all, it still displayed her devilish curves without reservation.
Her hair was scattered over her shoulders. Lin Aoxue wasn’t wearing makeup now, but she was still stunning enough, with an added beauty of natural simplicity.
“What are you staring at? Come in quickly,” Lin Aoxue said.
Su Rui finally came back to his senses and smiled, “Because you’re too beautiful, I got distracted for a moment.”
“Still joking at a time like this.”
There was a faint blush on Lin Aoxue’s face. Although she had been lying in bed all night, she had been tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Even though she expected Su Rui wouldn’t have any problems at the police station, she still couldn’t help but worry.
It wasn’t until Wang Yuan called that she truly felt at ease.
After pouring a cup of water for Su Rui, Lin Aoxue sat on the edge of the bed and asked, “How did it go?”
“I taught them a lesson. Everything’s fine now.”
Su Rui took the cup, and his hand accidentally touched Lin Aoxue’s. It was just a brief contact of a few fingers, but Lin Aoxue’s pretty face blushed again.
“Nice touch,” Su Rui said, seeing the beauty’s shy appearance, feeling great.
“Jerk,” Lin Aoxue bit her lip.
“How can you curse at me?” Seeing Lin Aoxue biting her lip, Su Rui really wanted her to bite him too—well, that was quite shameless.
“I’m not cursing, I’m just calling your name,” Lin Aoxue defended.
“Oh my, when did you learn to twist words?”
In Su Rui’s heart, Lin Aoxue was definitely not this kind of person. With an icy face and icy words, saying more than two words to you would be considered giving you face. When did she become like this, actually learning to quibble and talk back?
Such a pleasing change in such a short time—it seemed his beauty cultivation plan was really showing great results!
“I’m not quibbling, just telling the truth.” Lin Aoxue sat opposite Su Rui, her long hair falling down, her neck long and snow-white, truly making it hard to look away.
Su Rui deliberately glanced at Lin Aoxue’s waist and abdomen, chuckling, “I’m saying, don’t forget, we still haven’t settled our previous bet.”
“No way.” When Lin Aoxue heard this, her entire neck turned red.
That was a bet she made with Su Rui, saying that if she lost, she would get spanked. She never thought she would actually lose. Of course, this bet could never be fulfilled, otherwise she would really be too embarrassed to face anyone, at least not Su Rui.
“Anyone can renege, so I’m telling you, never try to out-talk your brother, or brother will make you lose very, very badly.” Su Rui held Lin Aoxue’s cup with both hands and took a sip of hot water, feeling very comfortable.
Lin Aoxue bit her lip and didn’t speak.
Su Rui just looked at her without speaking.
One was blushing.
One was smiling.
Night, moonlight, and a beauty—this life was actually quite wonderful.
“Aoxue.”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you,” Su Rui suddenly said seriously.
“You’re welcome.” Lin Aoxue smiled slightly, her beautiful smile blooming like a flower on her lovely face.
