Chapter 48: Raining Flowers

  He gazed at her pale lips, his damp hair had been wiped dry. (Ha eighteen pure text) The shirt that clung to his skin was also half-dry and half-wet, how could he win her sympathy like this?

  "I see you're sleeping so soundly, don't want to disturb you. Besides, I'm very strong, okay?" Ling Hao Yu spoke with a stuffy nose, having recently fallen ill and not yet fully recovered, he could feel her concern for his well-being, it was worth it.

  "Ling Haoyu, are you a kid? Look at your sister, hurry up and get out of the car!" Gu Xi had been emotionally unstable for the past few days, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Perhaps she didn't know how to face him with dignity after being hurt by Ling Haoyu time and time again. She really disliked herself, feeling like she couldn't shake off his shadow for a lifetime in an instant.

  "Yes, my lord!" Ling Hao Yu followed her out of the car and grabbed her hand again, only to let go once more, repeating the same action until they reached the grand hall before finally agreeing to go upstairs for a hot bath.

  "Xiao Hui, hurry up and make some ginger soup." Gu Xi changed into a pair of blue, wide slippers, which were probably the same ones she wore when she first came to the Ling's house.

  My throat is really hoarse, probably because I yelled too loudly just now. Although it's hot outside, the air conditioner in the house makes it feel a bit chilly. After sitting on the sofa and drinking a cup of milk tea, my body finally started to warm up.

  "Alright, I'll be fine soon!" Zhang Xiaohui was only two steps ahead of them, wondering in her heart how they had returned so quickly. She should have prepared dinner earlier, it was already four o'clock without her realizing it. When she saw Ling Haoyu come out, she smelled a musty smell from his half-dry and half-wet clothes, after sitting in the car for such a long time, she thought of making some ginger soup to prevent catching a cold.

  Unexpectedly in agreement with Gu Xi's idea, her heart became even more excited, busily opening the pot and scrubbing it repeatedly, starting to prepare for making soup.

  Half an hour later, Ling Haoyu wore a white casual outfit, and his hair was neatly combed. He walked downstairs and sat beside Gu Xi, peeled open a pitaya and said to her, "You look so absorbed? Are you interested? Or go to the gym with me and I'll teach you!"

  Gu Xi didn't bother with him, simply taking the peeled dragon fruit and stuffing it into her mouth. She was watching a billiards competition on TV with great interest. With some mild myopia, she looked adorable with her half-closed eyes.

  "Generally, this thing is not often played." Gu Xi took a bite and put it back in his mouth, got up and walked to the kitchen to help Zhang Xiaohui bring out the dishes, filled a bowl with silver ear red date soup, and then changed to a large bowl to serve the ginger soup.

  "What's this girl playing with?" Ling Hao Yu laughed and changed the channel back to the financial news, watching the stock market updates. He caught a whiff of strong ginger smell, which made him choke, and he coughed repeatedly before stopping.

  "Hey, come get it yourself." Gu Xi picked up the bowl and walked towards the sofa, just as he reached his side, the words had just fallen. The insulation of the bowl was not very good, scalding her small hands bright red.

  Still insisting on sitting down, he slowly put the bowl on the glass table in front of him. "Okay." Gu Xi's footsteps were light, and since he was fascinated by the stock market, when he looked up, he found that Gu Xi had already sat down beside him.

  Ling Hao Yu walked to the dinner table and saw a large bowl of pungent ginger soup, without hesitation he picked it up, as soon as it touched his palm, the heat scorched his skin.

  He couldn't help but admire Gu Xi's abilities more and more, this girl was really something that couldn't be figured out. He reluctantly walked to Gu Xi's side and sat down beside her. Finally feeling comfortable, he looked at his palms which were all red. His hands poked and poked again, starting to push the bowl in front of Gu Xi towards himself, picking up the spoon to stir it back and forth to dissipate the heat. In his heart, he thought that earlier he had thought she only liked watching sports entertainment programs, now even the stock market, this had completely stunned him.

  "Don't mind me, first drink the ginger soup while it's still hot, or it won't work." Gu Xi was startled awake by the sound and came back to his senses. Seeing that his soup had been taken over, he took action and snatched the bowl back, but didn't expect the shaking to be too intense, splashing a few drops of soup onto his palm.

  "Don't be so hasty, be careful not to scald your hand." Ling Haoyu furrowed his brow and pulled out a tissue to wipe away the few drops of soup, unsure if it was because he had a low-grade fever or if his originally warm hands just felt especially warm.

  Ling Hao Yu wiped his hands clean and then, from who-knows-where, pulled out some hand cream and applied a small amount to her hands, gently patting them. This made his slender fingers even more noticeable, causing Gu Xi's mind to wander as she gazed at him, completely forgetting that she was supposed to be learning to hate him in her heart.

  Until the sound of one hand touching the sand and the clear ticking of the clock woke her up. It turned out that she had a smile on her face, which gradually changed into an arc. Her gaze just saw Ling Hao Yu's chin, and said somewhat impatiently, "Enough! Do your own thing well, hurry up and drink it all!"

  "Oh." Ling Haoyu was awakened from his enjoyable tactile sensation, somewhat embarrassed to wipe his hands with the wet towel beside him, frowning as he picked up the heavy bowl of ginger soup and drank it down without any resistance.

  The sound of gulping, the spicy ginger soup, he drank it with relish and enjoyed it immensely. This bowl of soup was served by her, how could he not drink it?

  After drinking the soup, Gu Xi took advantage of wanting to walk with Ling Hao Yu and said that she was sick and needed to go to bed after finishing the hot soup. Too many feelings were mixed in her heart.

  The nanny brought some Phalaenopsis orchids to plant in several flower pots and place them on the windowsill of the study. She received a call from Ling's mother, saying that there were guests coming over and she needed to go back, so she entrusted Gu Xi to prepare to leave.

  How could she refuse a lovely girl's request? Moreover, she liked flowers, especially the beautiful butterfly orchid, which represented happiness gradually arriving. So she started digging some soil from the courtyard flower bed and filling it in little by little.

  It wasn't expected that the sky would gradually start drizzling with small rain, perhaps she liked rainy days too much, or maybe she was too used to getting rained on, when preparing to dig the soil for the second pot of flowers, it started sprinkling with small rain.

  The small raindrops hitting my face feel refreshing, the delicate hands applying a light jasmine-scented hand cream are gradually replaced by the smell of mud. My clothes are dirty and wet, but suddenly I don't feel cold anymore. Slowly lifting my head, I see Ling Hao Yu standing still under an umbrella, wearing pajamas.

  "You've become a little flower cat, hurry up and I'll help you!" Ling Hao Yu had not slept at all when he returned to his room earlier, changing into a set of pajamas was just to deceive her that he was sleeping. As a result, he got up and sat down to start reviewing a stack of documents.

  Recently, the Singapore joint resort project is under preparation, but due to various considerations, both parties are still exploring. The overall plan has doubled its expected expenditure. Fang Yu's recent situation is not ideal, and he is indeed worried about the problem of raising funds. The method of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul is no longer feasible. The financial storm came too suddenly, and all investors are cautiously considering investment issues.

  Due to financial issues, he tried various ways but still felt that his heart was willing but his strength was insufficient. He lifted his head and looked out the window, only to find that it had started raining lightly. So he went downstairs and found Gu Xi's phone on the glass table in front of the sofa. After searching everywhere without finding anyone, he walked to the door and heard the sound of digging. As soon as he opened the door, he saw her kneeling on the ground, dirty all over, scooping mud into a flower pot with a small shovel.

  When she lifted her head, there were many handprints on her delicate face, which was stained with mud. She had forgotten to take care of her pretty face and was enthusiastically digging in the dirt. At this moment, Gu Xi looked like a mischievous and lovely little kid playing house in his eyes.

  "What's the matter, blocking my rain? Go back to sleep!" Gu Xi lifted her head and spoke to him while her hands were still busy filling the basin with mud. Squatting down at an angle, she looked up and found that Ling Haoyu was really tall and big, even feeling out of reach. Accompanied by the fine rain, her mood became even better.

  "You like getting rained on, huh? Then I'll keep you company!" Ling Haoyu said, putting down the umbrella and preparing to squat down with her to play in the mud.

  The result was also unexpected. She pushed him down to the eaves with her dirty hands and said fiercely, "Follow me, kill without pardon!"

  He didn't understand what was going on in this girl's mind. What kind of things were stored in that little brain of hers? Watching her touch the dirty mud in the rain, with a smile spreading across her face. It reminded him of the first time they met, which was also in the rain. Not many people liked rainy days, and they should be feeling annoyed instead, but he really didn't know why she looked so happy when it rained?

  In less than ten minutes, she had finished loading the four basins and was carrying them down from the eaves of the house. Just as she was about to enter the door, she looked at her dirty self with some satisfaction, but stopped in her tracks and didn't dare take another step forward.

  "Come on in!" Ling Haoyu said with a smile as he opened the door with his fingerprint.

  "How can I go in when I'm so dirty?" She gazed at the extremely luxurious and spotless hall inside. In her heart, she began to despise herself for still being so childish, thinking that she was still running wild everywhere in her rural home.

  "Who told you to get rained on doing this? Hurry up and come in, it's okay!" Ling Haoyu said with a sly smile.

  "Right, I was never a good fit anyway, what's there to be afraid of!" Gu Xi's words cut deep, but in reality, he didn't have any particular meaning behind them, and was actually feeling sorry for her.

  Keiko's miserable experience unfolded before her, and with his words, she was ready to launch an attack on him. Her emotions of late had been completely beyond her control; even kind words sounded distorted when they reached her ears. And once she'd uttered them vaguely, she began to dislike herself more and more.

  "Ah, Yatou, I was wrong. Hurry up and come in to change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold. Don't be angry anymore, okay?" Ling Haoyu's endurance was exceptionally good, without any resistance, but he kept accommodating her everywhere. He knew that recently he had hurt her again and again, so what's the big deal about enduring this little bit?
