Actually, after taking a nap, Yun Qiluo had almost forgotten about being neglected by Yan Yan in the past two days and the anger before sleep.
She stood on the room’s carpet, looking at him through the glass door for a long while, still feeling heartache.
Simply opened the door and walked towards him.
Yan Yan was halfway through smoking when he heard a faint sound from the glass door and looked up.
All he saw was a small figure rushing towards him.
He paused, afraid of burning her, instinctively moving the cigarette aside.
This movement just happened to spread his arms, and the young girl immediately took the opportunity to dive into his embrace.
Reaching out to hug him, burying her face into his chest.
She then lifted her head, her eyes black and white, still bright in the dim light.
"Beautiful woman, why are you here alone?"
Yan Yan’s hand paused slightly, holding the cigarette, facing the young girl’s clean yet slightly sleepy face.
For a moment, he seemed a bit dazed.
He shifted his gaze and replied lazily, "I couldn’t sleep."
Yun Qiluo pouted, "Why are you smoking?"
She had just woken up, still a bit drowsy, the smoke smell making her frown, feeling even more dizzy.
Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Yan Yan raised his hand and extinguished the cigarette.
Casually tossed it into the nearby trash can.
Freed both hands, encircled her, and softly said, "No more smoking."
The young girl then felt a bit better, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
Then, in an earnest manner, she admonished him, "Our professor said that smoking is very harmful to health. Beautiful woman, you shouldn’t smoke anymore, okay?"
Yun Qiluo was very disappointed in him.
Unexpectedly, even the beautiful woman didn’t know when he learned to smoke.
Even waking up in the middle of the night, secretly smoking behind her back.
The beautiful woman is so smart, doesn’t he know that smoking is bad for health?
But she couldn’t bear to be too harsh; the beautiful woman seemed so unhappy, she couldn’t scold him anymore.
Seeing her act like a little teacher trying to discipline him, Yan Yan found it somewhat amusing.
Reached out and patted her head.
In a gentle voice, he asked, "Why did you wake up?"
Yun Qiluo mentioned the reason, wrinkling her small nose, sulkingly said, "Couldn’t find you, so I woke up."
She had actually fallen off the bed while looking for the beautiful woman! Such an embarrassing thing, she would never tell him that.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan’s hand slightly paused, a trace of inexplicable emotion flitted through his phoenix eyes.
Then he reached out and held her tighter, lowered his gaze, and softly said, "Go back and sleep."
He lowered his head, only then noticing her bare, tender feet on the cold floor of the terrace.
His brows furrowed, he spoke in a deep voice, "Why did you come out without shoes? Hmm?"
After speaking, he bent down and scooped her horizontally from the ground.
She was so light, with a small figure, that nearly six-foot-three Yan Yan could easily lift her, like holding a weightless doll.
Every time Yan Yan held her, he couldn’t help but wonder where all the food she ate went.
She clearly ate a lot, yet she didn’t gain any weight.
Suddenly lifted into the air, Yun Qiluo was startled, not settling down until she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Beautiful woman, what are you doing?"
"Taking you back to bed."
The man lazily said this, directly carrying her back to the room and placing her on the bed.
Glancing down at her tender and cute feet, he unconsciously reached out to touch them.
As expected, they were icy cold.
The autumn nights were still a bit chilly, especially out on the terrace.
The man lowered his eyes, seriously admonished, "Little Gua, you mustn’t go out without shoes on next time, understand?"
