Chapter 635
However, this brief rejection was just her body's first instinctive reaction.
In a flash, Ruan Mi's arms, as white and tender as fresh lotus roots and with skin as delicate as a baby's, were like two nimble and cunning snakes. They wrapped around He Yuzhu's neck lightly and quickly and naturally.
Her eyes were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
Immerse yourself in this sudden intimacy.
It seems that at this moment, the noisy world and all the chaos around me no longer exist.
All that was left was the sound of each other's rapid breathing and pounding heartbeats.
At this critical moment, the atmosphere became increasingly heated.
The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped.
The breathing of both of them could be heard clearly.
Suddenly, the door made a very slight sound.
In this quiet and almost frozen atmosphere, the slight "creaking" sound was like a thunderclap exploding in the silent night sky, breaking the sweetness and intoxication in an instant with an overwhelming force.
Then, Ruan Tao's voice, as clear as a silver bell, came from the corridor, with a hint of playfulness and urgency: "It's too heavy, come and help me carry it."
This sudden voice was like a bolt from the blue, striking Ruan Mi's heart, which was immersed in sweetness, from behind without any warning.
She was so frightened that her whole body trembled violently.
His limbs froze instantly, and his body tensed up as if by reflex.
It was as if I was hit by a high-voltage electric current, and every nerve was severely stung in an instant.
The dreamlike scene full of pink bubbles quickly shattered and dissipated like bubbles at this shout.
She was like a frightened rabbit being chased by a wild beast. Instinctively, she struggled desperately to break free from He Yuzhu's arms.
Her movements were hurried and rapid, and her hands were waving around subconsciously, trying to break free from the gentle shackles that imprisoned her.
Ruan Mi's cheeks turned red instantly, as red as an apple that was so ripe that it was about to bleed.
The scorching temperature seemed to ignite the surrounding air.
She didn't even dare to raise her head, and fled out of the kitchen in a panic like a headless fly.
He stumbled, his left foot almost tripping over his right foot, and he looked very embarrassed.
She didn't even dare to look back, fearing that if she stayed for another second, her sister's sharp eyes would see through this shameful secret and make her feel ashamed.
When she ran to the living room in a panic, she bumped into Ruan Tao who was carrying a lot of bags.
Ruan Tao paused.
His eyes swept over his sister.
Her cheeks were flushed, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat. She looked embarrassed and panicked.
Ruan Tao couldn't help but look curious. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hey, why is your face so red? It looks like someone has been chasing you for several blocks."
Ruan Mi felt a sudden panic in her heart.
His eyes began to wander unconsciously.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his cheek awkwardly, which was as hot as an iron just taken out of the fire.
She opened her mouth, but her throat felt like it was choked by something.
After a long while, he stammered and explained, "I...it's too hot in the kitchen."
In fact, the temperature in the kitchen was not enough to make her blush so much.
At this moment, she was secretly blaming He Yuzhu in her heart.
This guy is so inappropriate. He totally disregards the occasion and shows such affection to me at this critical moment.
Just now, my sister almost ran into me. If that had happened, I would have no way to defend myself and I wouldn’t be able to clear myself even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
At the same time, she was also blaming herself in her heart. She was calm and composed in normal times, but why did she blush so easily when the critical moment came?
All my calmness has disappeared into thin air. Looking at the current situation, my sister must have become suspicious. What should I do?
"It's October now, and the heat of autumn is still lingering, but how can the kitchen be this hot?"
Ruan Tao frowned slightly, her eyes full of suspicion, and she obviously didn't buy Ruan Mi's explanation.
She muttered to herself as she struggled to place the heavy object in her hand, which was tightly wrapped in a burlap bag, on the ground.
The bag made a dull thud as it landed.
Then, as if casually, she slowly glanced towards the kitchen.
Behind the half-open door, there seemed to be a secret that she was eager to uncover.
Just then, the kitchen door curtain was lifted.
He Yuzhu walked out with a smile on his face, taking steady steps and looking calm and composed.
His eyes curved into crescents, his face filled with undisguised enthusiasm. He greeted Ruan Tao, who had just entered the room, "A-Tao, you're finally back? Are you busy today?"
Ruan Tao was filled with joy, her eyes sparkling as if they contained two pools of bright stars, and she called out crisply, "Brother He."
The sound was clear and pleasant, just like the birds singing happily and flying among the branches in spring. Every note was full of vitality and joy, instantly dispelling the dullness of the surroundings.
However, as she was cheering, her gaze inadvertently turned and fell on her sister Ruan Mi again.
Seeing this, Ruan Tao couldn't help but feel a deeper doubt in her heart.
There was still some blush on Ruan Mi's cheeks, just like the sunset glow that was about to disappear in the sky, and the color was no longer as dazzling as before.
That subtle change was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, which made Ruan Tao feel very strange. Ripples appeared in her heart and all kinds of speculations quietly grew in her heart.
He Yuzhu was sharp-eyed and saw Ruan Tao struggling to squeeze into the house with her hands full of things.
He hurriedly took a step forward, his movements natural and familiar, as if he repeated this tacit cooperation every day.
He gently extended his hand and steadily took the bag from Ruan Tao, smiling and saying, "Oh, look at you carrying so many bags, you must be exhausted. Today, let me show off my cooking skills and make you a delicious meal!"
His voice was low and gentle, with a slight curl at the end, just like a breeze in spring, carrying a magical power that made people feel at ease.
Every word he spoke was full of confidence and intimacy, as if he was describing something very ordinary, yet bound to succeed. It made people believe that he would be able to conjure up a table of delicious dishes with all the appearance and aroma in the kitchen stove like magic.
When Ruan Mi heard what He Yuzhu said, her heart moved slightly, and she thought to herself that this might be an opportunity to bring them closer.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
A perfect smile slowly appeared on the fair face, and that smile was as gentle and moving as the warm spring sun.
"Then let me help you."
Her voice was soft and pleasant, like a clear mountain spring, with an irresistible affinity.
After saying that, she walked into the kitchen with light steps.
The kitchen is not big.
The two of them squeezed in together, and the space suddenly seemed a little cramped.
He Yuzhu slightly turned sideways to make room for Ruan Mi.
Their arms touched lightly inadvertently, and a flash of electricity passed through them instantly.
Both of them were slightly startled, but tacitly chose to ignore it.
Ruan Mi skillfully picked up the vegetable basket beside her and started picking vegetables.
His fingers flipped the leaves flexibly, his movements smooth and flowing.
He Yuzhu stood in front of the stove and lit the fire to heat the pot.
The oil in the pot gradually heated up and made a sizzling sound.
For a moment, the kitchen was bustling with activity.
The sound of pots and pans clashing was incessant.
The sound is sometimes crisp and sometimes dull, rising and falling, interweaving into a unique melody full of the breath of life.
Interspersed within this music was the sound of two people's low conversation.
He Yuzhu would ask Ruan Mi for some tips on combining ingredients from time to time.
Ruan Mi answered patiently, occasionally interspersed with a few witty remarks, which made He Yuzhu smile.
The atmosphere in the whole kitchen is harmonious and welcoming.
The warm yellow light shines on the two of them, outlining a warm and beautiful picture.
It was as if the embarrassing scene just now had never happened, leaving only this moment of peace and tranquility.
Before long, tempting aromas came from the kitchen.
He Yuzhu held the plate steadily in both hands and skillfully brought the carefully prepared dishes to the table.
The first dish to be served was a brightly colored dish of three fresh vegetables.
The eggplant, potato and green pepper are wrapped in thick sauce, with a glossy luster, which makes people's appetite increase at the sight.
Immediately afterwards, a plate of fragrant Mu Shu pork was placed on the table.
The combination of golden eggs, tender meat slices, wood ear mushrooms and cucumbers is just right. Just smelling the aroma makes people salivate.
Later, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and scrambled eggs with tomatoes also appeared.
Every dish is cooked with great appearance, aroma and taste, with attractive colors and fragrant aroma, which makes people salivate at the sight.
Ruan Mi and Ruan Tao looked at each other.
There was a glint of satisfaction and joy in the eyes of both of them, and they were full of praise for He Yuzhu's cooking skills.
The three of them sat around an antique wooden table.
The table was filled with delicious dishes, steaming with tempting aroma.
Ruan Mi and Ruan Tao, dressed in colorful dresses, were like two lively little birds, chirping about various interesting things that had happened in recent days.
Ruan Mi was talking while gesturing with her hands. When she was happy, her eyes turned into crescent moons.
Ruan Tao would occasionally interrupt the conversation, and her clear and cheerful voice echoed in the room like lively notes, making everyone laugh.
He Yuzhu sat aside, wearing a neat shirt, listening quietly, with a smile on his face and eyes full of pampering.
He occasionally interjected a word or two, using precise and humorous words to respond to the two sisters appropriately, with a faint, heartwarming smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth.
It seemed as if all the troubles in the world disappeared at this moment, and the whole room was filled with warmth and joy.
The meal ended with laughter.
Ruan Mi stood up first and cleared the dishes on the table neatly.
Holding the plate steadily in both hands, he walked into the kitchen with light steps.
After a while, the sound of running water and the clinking of dishes could be heard from the kitchen. It was obvious that she was very skilled and adept at these housework.
He Yuzhu walked slowly to the TV, raised his hand and pressed the switch of the slightly old small TV.
His fingers gently turned on the channel knob, expertly tuning it to a channel playing a light-hearted comedy program.
Then, he slowly sat down on the sofa, his whole body relaxed and comfortable, his every move as natural as if he were at home.
Then, he stretched out his arm inconspicuously, with gentle movements but with a sense of irresistibility, and gently embraced Ruan Tao beside him in his arms.
Ruan Tao leaned on his shoulder, and the two of them were in an intimate posture, as if this scene had been frozen in time for a long time.
He Yuzhu leaned closer, his voice unconsciously softened, and with a barely perceptible tremor, he asked softly, "Did you miss me?"
His gaze was affectionate and focused, as if attracted by a magnet, firmly fixed on Ruan Tao's face.
There is a sparkling light in his deep eyes, and that light is full of expectation, like a traveler longing for rain in the desert, eagerly waiting for an invaluable answer that can comfort the soul.
When Ruan Tao heard this, she was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, and her fur instantly stood up.
She turned her head away angrily, and her slender neck turned slightly red because of this action.
She opened her lips slightly and muttered, "I miss you, you big-headed ghost!"
The voice was soft and gentle, and although it was a word of blame, the tone was rising and a bit playful.
Listening carefully, there is no sign of genuine anger at all. Instead, they sound like a couple in love, using this as an excuse to act coquettishly, play around, and enjoy their sweet time alone.
When He Yuzhu saw this, there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, he couldn't help laughing at Ruan Tao's playful and cute appearance, which was as bright as the warm spring sun.
Hearty laughter echoed in the room.
He subconsciously tightened his strong arms slightly, holding Ruan Tao a little tighter, gently but firmly.
The force seemed to integrate her into his body bit by bit, making her an inseparable part of each other's lives.
Then, he lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Ruan Tao's ear, and said softly in a voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Just now when I was coming home, I passed by the kitchen and saw you and your sister busy in there. What are you busy with?"
When He Yuzhu heard Ruan Tao's question, a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal.
He widened his eyes and looked at Ruan Tao blankly, as if he was extremely puzzled by this sudden question.
Then he blinked slowly, the movement was deliberate and slow.
Then, deliberately putting on an innocent look, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned down, he said with a hint of grievance, "I really didn't do anything, I swear to God. Given our relationship, don't you understand me? Besides, at this critical moment, what can we do?"
At this moment, he had his head drooped and his shoulders trembling slightly, looking just like a child who had been wronged to the extreme.
