Huo Yao curled her fingers slightly as she listened to his strong heartbeat. Regardless of whether she admitted it, it did not feel bad.
She suddenly raised her head after leaning against him for a while and said casually, "It depends on your performance."
"Depends on my performance?" Min Yu looked at her and tried to decipher her meaning.
Was she finally going to get it after working so hard for so long?
Huo Yao raised her brow without saying a word. She lowered her head and planted a kiss on his chest.
Min Yu's entire body stiffened the moment the kiss landed. The warmth from his chest spread to his limbs, but he did not react for a moment.
Huo Yao flipped over and got off Min Yu. She turned around and saw that his bathrobe had already loosened around his waist... Huo Yao coughed and hurriedly averted her eyes. She ignored him and picked up her phone from the table before walking out of the room.
Min Yu snapped out of his daze when he heard the door close.
He raised his hand and touched the spot on his chest where the young lady had kissed him. He pursed his lips slightly and felt an indescribable sense of joy.
Even though he had not rested for the past two days, he seemed to be full of energy and did not feel sleepy anymore.
Min Yu got up from the bed after lying down for a while. He lowered his head to look at the torn wound on his waist and shook his head gently. He had probably experienced what it meant to die under a peony.
He picked up the gauze on the floor and casually wrapped it around his waist before heading to the wardrobe to change into a set of clothes.
Min Yu went downstairs before long.
...
Huo Yao had just placed the food on the dining table and was contemplating if she should ask a certain someone for dinner when Min Yu came downstairs. She turned to the kitchen and brought out two sets of cutlery.
The two of them ate quietly without any uneasiness.
"Oh yes, Old Mr. Pei came to the capital. He asked you out for dinner a few days ago, but you were busy, so I turned him down." Huo Yao raised her head and said to Min Yu.
"Mhm, got it." Min Yu nodded. He had seen her text message after he came back from the Unknown Forest. "How's Old Mr. Pei?"
Huo Yao swallowed the last mouthful of rice and put down her chopsticks. "He seems to be in good spirits."
Her phone suddenly buzzed at the mention of Old Mr. Pei.
It was from Old Mr. Pei.
Huo Yao clicked it open and frowned slightly. Min Yu raised his eyes and noticed her odd expression, so he asked her. "What's wrong?"
Huo Yao held her phone and did not reply. Instead, she said, "Old Mr. Pei suddenly apologized to me."
"Apologize? Why? "Min Yu looked at her in surprise.
Huo Yao shook her head. "I'm not sure either."
She thought back to the day when they met for dinner. Other than him being a little absent-minded after receiving the phone call, everything else was normal.
He also couldn't understand the reason behind this apology.
After contemplating for two minutes, Huo Yao decided to send him a text message to ask if something had happened.
However, there was no reply for a long time.
Although Huo Yao found it strange, she did not dare to probe further, so she put her phone away.
After dinner, Huo Yao cleared the table. She looked at the time and said, "Get some rest. I'm going back to school."
Min Yu didn't say anything else. He only said to her, "Wait."
"Hmm?" Huo Yao looked at Min Yu quizzically, but he had already strode upstairs. She blinked but did not leave. Instead, she waited downstairs.
