Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Why Does It Feel Like Something’s About to Catch Fire? Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Why Does It Feel Like Something’s About to Catch Fire? After freshening up, Gu Qiaoqiao looked at her box of carved Gold Jade Stones and pondered quietly.
Qin Yize, with his hair still damp from the shower he took in the living room bathroom, squatted down beside Gu Qiaoqiao.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao deep in thought, Qin Yize curiously leaned down to look but didn’t expect a water droplet from his hair to fall onto a Gold Jade Stone Carving resting above.
It was a shape of a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
The golden gold nugget had been carved by Gu Qiaoqiao into a golden carp.
It just so happened that this gold was right above the jade.
The dark blue jade was carved into the dragon gate and waves.
It was also one of Gu Qiaoqiao’s pieces that she was very satisfied with.
She had no intention of selling it.
Yet she also had no idea what to do with it.
At that moment, a droplet from Qin Yize’s hair conveniently fell onto the body of the golden carp.
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out to push Qin Yize away and chided, “The water from your hair dripped onto my Jade Carving, stay away…”
Caught off-guard by the push, Qin Yize’s body tilted, and he simply sat down cross-legged on the floor.
With an amused and cryptic smile, he gave Gu Qiaoqiao a once over.
This little girl, perhaps even she herself didn’t realize how increasingly informal she was becoming with him.
However, he quite liked it.
“The stone was originally in the water, so how could it possibly be afraid of water?”
Gu Qiaoqiao gave Qin Yize a sidelong glance, “That’s river water, the water in your hair is shampoo, how can they be the same?”
Oh, so that’s her concern.
Little girl, you sure have a lot of rules.
Qin Yize moved his eyebrows playfully, “I just rinsed today, didn’t use shampoo.”
“You can smell if you don’t believe it.”
As he said this, Qin Yize’s eyes twinkled with mirth as he inclined his body slightly. Gu Qiaoqiao, caught off guard, was immediately enveloped by the distinct scent of a man.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s clear eyes shifted and she saw Qin Yize’s teasing expression.
Without hesitation, she leaned in and sniffed lightly…
He really hadn’t used shampoo.
Qin Yize hadn’t expected Gu Qiaoqiao to actually come closer and take a sniff.
He was briefly taken aback.
As Qiaoqiao drew near, his heart suddenly began to beat irregularly.
Qin Yize looked up, meeting a pair of deep, dark pupils.
In that moment, his heartbeat seemed to freeze.
He reached out his hand, as if bewitched, and caressed Gu Qiaoqiao’s cheek, murmuring softly, “Qiaoqiao…”
The room was filled with an inexplicable tenderness.
Like a thread, it gently wound the two of them together.
Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t expected Qin Yize to reach out as he said, her eyes widened, and she pressed down on his hand, scolding, “I’ve told you not to touch me, how can you go back on your word.”
Qin Yize stared at Gu Qiaoqiao blankly, the girl’s fingers were very strong.
There was a slight pain where she was pinching his wrist.
And this pain served as a reminder to Qin Yize.
He withdrew his hand.
Then slowly straightened up.
Focused intently on Gu Qiaoqiao.
But Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to continue this ambiguous atmosphere any longer.
Gu Qiaoqiao busied herself with packing up the box.
Why did it feel like a fire was about to start?
She had to go to her own bedroom to sleep.
Qin Yize reined in his wandering thoughts.
He sat cross-legged again, watching Gu Qiaoqiao with an amused and nonchalant expression, “You sure remember such little things very clearly.”
“Nonsense,” Gu Qiaoqiao shot back a glance.
“Qiaoqiao, let’s talk,” he proposed.
“I don’t want to talk.”
“Do you know what I want to say?”
Qin Yize seemed to be staring at Gu Qiaoqiao in a daze, but after a moment, he suddenly laughed…
