Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Such a Man is like a Poppy_1
Jian Yufei naively believed his words.
“Don’t you want to sit down?” asked Ruan Tianling.
Not wanting to embarrass him, Jian Yufei followed suit and took a seat.
Truthfully, it felt incredibly strange to be of having a picnic with the man in front of her – her ex-husband.
Thankfully, she couldn’t remember, otherwise, it would have been extremely awkward.
Isn’t it often said that ex-lovers can’t even stay friends? Let alone friends, it is often awkward to even meet face to face.
As Jian Yufei pondered aimlessly, a small dish of strawberry cake was suddenly handed before her.
She reached for it: “Thank you.”
“Is it handy to eat?” Ruan Tianling asked her.
Her left hand was in a cast and would take another week or so to be removed.
“I can manage.” Jian Yufei placed the dish on the cloth and used her right hand to eat with a fork.
Ruan Tianling ate a little food and then sipped water from his cup.
Even without looking up, Jian Yufei could feel his burning gaze on her.
She blushed slightly, causing Ruan Tianling to smirk and avert his eyes.
“Would you like to listen to some music?” he asked her.
“Sure.” Jian Yufei responded with a small smile.
Ruan Tianling pulled out a music player from a nearby basket and played a song.
The tune was a calming piano piece, very pleasant to the ears.
Jian Yufei felt the melody seemed familiar, “What song is this?”
Jian Yufei couldn’t help but laugh: “We’re nearly at summer now.”
“Hmm, next time I’ll compose a Summer Whisper for you.” Ruan Tianling said with a smile.
Jian Yufei was silent, assuming he was just joking.
Ruan Tianling lazily lied back on the cloth, his arms cushioning his head, eyes closed, basking in the soothing melody.
It was only when his eyes were shut, that Jian Yufei dared to observe him closely.
Sunlight filtered through the dense leaves overhead, casting faint twinkles onto his face.
He was like a handsome young man, lazing under a big tree in the summer afternoon, taking a sneak nap.
Jian Yufei boldy observed his features, finding him even more handsome the closer she looked.
The long and thick eyelashes, slightly deep eye sockets, high and jade-like nose bridge, and sensual thin lips…
His delicate collarbone, chest, rising and falling rhythmically…
Every part of him was flawless, captivating enough to keep one’s gaze fixed.
Humans are indeed visual creatures.
Now that Jian Yufei had forgotten all about him, including any resentment, she looked at him without any negative feelings.
But she dared not hold any fantasies either.
She was simply appreciating his looks. Even if she was attracted to him, she dared not let her heart wander.
Because such a man was like a poppy, beyond what she could aspire to…
Just as Jian Yufei was watching him attentively, Ruan Tianling’s lashes quivered and he slowly opened his eyes.
She had, however, shifted her gaze swiftly as soon as he twitched his eyelashes.
Ruan Tianling pushed himself up, his lazy demeanor radiating a languid elegance.
He smiled and asked her, “Want to hear a poem?”
“Huh?” Jian Yufei looked at him in confusion.
Ruan Tianling pulled out a book of English poetry from the basket and laid it on the cloth. He leaned back, slowly flipping through the pages with one hand.
His fingers were long and clean, the fingernails trim, and the veins on the back of his hand prominent.
Each vein, each joint, was like a piece of art.
Even his hands were so beautiful, where was the fairness in the world?
Jian Yufei inwardly wailed, men shouldn’t be so handsome, it’s a sin!
