Hua Shuiyan tossed and turned the whole night because of the three-day appointment with Guan Boyan. She regretted that she had made a bet with Guan Boyan on impulse. She could only blame herself for being quick with her words and being competitive. Sooner or later, she would be killed by her competitive spirit!
Since the bet had been made and Guan Boyan would not give her the chance to go back on her word, she really did not know how to spend the next three days.
She stared blankly at the pair of glass shoes that had caused the flames of war. She could not help but wonder if this pair of glass shoes had brought her a blessing or a disaster. In her mind, she still remembered Master Jin's prophecy that she would meet her future partner because of this pair of indigo glass shoes.
This was great. She actually used the glass shoes to bet with Guan Boyan. If she lost, she would have to lose the glass shoes to him. Didn't this mean that she had lost the chance to meet her future partner?
In order not to become an " old lady " or " old virgin ", she had to win!
The morning light was streaming in through the curtains. Hua Shuiyan walked to the window gloomily. She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. Suddenly, she saw a tall and familiar figure beside a black jeep across the street. He leaned against the car with his hands crossed in front of his chest. Even though his eyes were covered by a pair of sunglasses, she still recognized him as the man who had made a three-day appointment with her…Guan Boyan.
Guan Boyan noticed that someone had lifted a corner of the curtain in her room. He immediately smiled and waved at her.
Hua Shuiyan lowered the curtains in shock." Oh my god! Why is he here so early?"
He was staring at her so intensely that she wouldn't have a chance to go back on her word. Hua Shuiyan's shoulders drooped dejectedly.
Knowing that she could not avoid this bet, Hua Shuiyan looked at the glass shoes helplessly." For my beautiful future, it seems that I have to grit my teeth and spend three days with him.”
At this moment, the doorbell rang. In the silence, the sound of the doorbell was particularly ear-piercing. Hua Shuiyan shouted angrily at the door,"Got it!" The moment she opened the door, she saw Guan Boyan, who made her angry." Aren't you annoying? It's like he's urging me to die." Then, she slammed the door with all her might and refused to let him in.
Guan Boyan looked at the door that opened and closed in astonishment. Then, he smiled helplessly." What a fiery girl."”
Hua Shuiyan took every step forward angrily." What bad luck. I saw Ox-Head and Horse-Face so early in the morning!”
Back in her room, she took out her travel bag and stuffed a few clothes into it. Then, she picked up her usual purse and swept the skincare products on the dressing table. In the blink of an eye, all the bottles and jars were swept into her purse.
She hurriedly washed up, changed into a pair of light jeans, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and put on a baseball cap. Then, she casually carried her luggage and handbag out of the house.
Guan Boyan's eyes lit up when he saw the flowery beauty that was different from her usual attire. Today's pretty and generous her had a completely different taste from her previous dignified appearance.
Hua Shuiyan walked to the jeep and opened the door. She casually put her bag and luggage in the back seat and stood by the door to look at Guan Boyan, who was in a daze." You were so anxious just now. Why aren't you leaving now?"”There was a strong smell of gunpowder in his obviously unfriendly tone.
Ignoring him, she grunted and stepped into the car. Guan Boyan couldn't help but smile and then sat in the car. Before the jeep started, he tilted his head and glanced at her. He saw that she was looking straight ahead with a straight face and completely ignored his gaze.
Guan Boyan chuckled again. Presumably, she had already begun to declare war on him!
Guan Boyan drove the car on the highway. Along the way, he stole glances at the lovely girl beside him from time to time. She pursed her lips tightly as if she was fighting with him in silence. He couldn't help but smile. He liked women who didn't talk much. Besides, he was worried that she would keep whispering in his ear.
In the end, the car turned from the highway to a country road. He leisurely rolled down the window and let the breeze outside the window blow into the car. The sounds of birds and insects made Hua Shuiyan, who had been silent, smile faintly.
Guan Boyan looked at Hua Shuiyan from the corner of his eyes. She was really charming. Her arrogant but charming expression, her willful way of shaking her head, and her tightly pursed lips that would occasionally reveal a delicate and moving smile. It was undeniable that she was really attractive.
A seemingly endless path continued to extend in front of her. Hua Shuiyan was not worried about whether they were lost because she thought it was safer to stay in the car than to be alone with him.
The sky suddenly changed, and then it began to rain. She sighed softly,"Sigh…It's raining."
Hearing her sigh, he quickly said,"Don't worry, we'll be there soon.”
Worried?
She was not worried at all. She was looking forward to spending the next three days in the car.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed in front of her eyes, followed by the rumbling of thunder from the horizon. Hua Shuiyan was so scared that her eyes widened. Her small mouth could not help but tremble." Thunder…Thunder…" She felt her stomach churning in pain.
" It's just thunder, it's okay..." His eyes inadvertently glanced at Hua Shuiyan beside him. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear. He quickly stopped the car." What's wrong with you?"”
"I…I…"
In an instant, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, scaring Hua Shuiyan so much that she grabbed Guan Boyan's clothes in panic. The fear in her eyes increased significantly.
Guan Boyan understood. She was afraid of thunder and lightning. He quickly pulled Hua Shuiyan into his arms." Don't be afraid. We're almost there."”Noticing that she was trembling in his arms, he began to complain about why he chose this time to come here for a vacation.
Then, the rain suddenly intensified. Guan Boyan could no longer hold back his curses in a low voice,""Damn it!"
He had no choice but to let go of Hua Shuiyan's hand and accelerate to their destination...
Along the way, he didn't care about the quality of the road, whether there were potholes or puddles. His heart only ached for her fear. In the end, the car stopped in front of a holiday villa.
He patted Hua Shuiyan, who had already curled up into a ball." We're here."”
" No…I don't…" Her voice was hoarse and trembling.
Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Hua Shuiyan was so scared that she quickly covered her head with her hands. Guan Boyan did not expect her to be so afraid of lightning, but it was not a good idea to hide in the car. He did not care how strong the rain was outside the car. He jumped out of the car and rushed to the front of the house to open the closed door. Then he went back to the car and opened the door beside Hua Shuiyan." I'll carry you."”
" No…" She struggled fiercely.
Guan Boyan ignored her resistance and stretched out his arms to hug her, but she flung his hands away." I don't want to…"
"Enough! Stop fooling around."
Guan Boyan's loud roar stopped her from struggling. She stopped resisting and let him hug her. Guan Boyan carried the trembling Hua Shuiyan and rushed into the house. He let her sit on a spacious sofa. The comfortable and soft sofa calmed Hua Shuiyan down.
Guan Boyan squatted in front of her and looked at her pale face. He suddenly felt pain in his heart. He brushed away the messy hair on her forehead." Don't move here. I'll bring the luggage in."”
She didn't smile or say anything, staring blankly ahead. Guan Boyan never thought that their first day together would be ruined by a heavy rain.
He rushed into the rain again and carried his luggage out of the car. He rushed back into the house with big and small bags. It was as if he had just been picked up from the water. The rain slid down his face and his clothes were wet and stuck to his body. He quickly put down his luggage and ran his hands through his wet hair. He strode to her and said," I'll carry you to your room."”
When Hua Shuiyan heard the word "room", she immediately shouted excitedly," No…" She took a deep breath in panic, and her voice quickly weakened." No…I'll just stay here."”
"Nonsense! What you need most now is a comfortable hot bath.”He comforted her.
"I don't…"
He didn't care if he would scare her. He stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace." Be good. If you don't listen to me, I'll throw you outside."”He threatened her gently.
She no longer rejected him because she found that she had an unprecedented sense of security in his arms. Even the rumbling of thunder outside the house did not scare her so much. However, her heart was still beating wildly, and her breathing was still rapid. She was afraid of Guan Boyan. He was her greatest danger.
He carried her up to the second floor and came to a door. He kicked the door open and let her lie down comfortably on a big bed." I'll help you get hot water."”
He walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap. He walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of the bathroom door, staring at Hua Shuiyan who was sitting on the bed. There was still fear in her eyes. He moved his feet carefully, trying not to scare her.
"I won't hurt you, Shui Yan. Trust me.”His voice was extremely gentle.
He couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know where he learned these words from, and he couldn't believe that these words would come from his own mouth. He had never coaxed a woman like this before, because the women around him took the initiative to throw themselves at him. However, at this moment, he was trying something new.
He came in front of her and stared at her intently." The water is almost ready. Be good and go take a hot bath."”He said softly and gave her a charming smile.
"What about you?" She finally spoke.
"I'll wait for you here. Don't worry, I won't barge in…and peep at you bathing.”He continued to giggle.
Hua Shuiyan believed him. She walked slowly to the bathroom. When she saw him suddenly turn around, she thought he was going to leave. However, he just wanted to take off his wet clothes. His actions made her smile.
After a while, her smile froze. She stared at his naked upper body with her mouth agape. In an instant, Hua Shuiyan was completely mesmerized by the figure in front of her.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen a topless man before, but the lines of his body were unbelievably beautiful. She had never seen such a sexy man before. At that moment, her entire body felt inexplicably hot.
She blinked and said shyly,"Thank you."
Suddenly hearing her voice, Guan Boyan was stunned for a moment. The next second, he turned around and smiled at Hua Shuiyan." Go in and take a bath!" Otherwise, your bathwater will definitely flood the entire house. At that time, we will really have to eat outside!”
His warning really worked. Hua Shuiyan quickly walked into the bathroom with a red face.
The feeling of soaking in the hot water was really good. Just like Guan Boyan said, what she needed most now was a comfortable hot bath to ease her nervous mood.
When she walked out of the bathroom and found that he was no longer in the room, Hua Shuiyan could not help but laugh at herself. It seemed that she had really misunderstood him. He was really a gentleman!
After changing her clothes, she had not stepped out of the room when she smelled the fragrance of food. At this moment, she realized that she was so hungry that she could eat a cow! She ran out of the room and quickly went downstairs.
"Are you feeling better?" Guan Boyan looked at Hua Shuiyan, who was walking downstairs.
Looking at the sincere smile on his face, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She smiled shyly." You know how to cook?”
"No, but I believe it should still be able to enter the mouth.”he answered honestly.
She walked to the bar table and pulled out a chair to watch his clumsy movements." Just by looking at your clumsy appearance, I believe that you really don't know how to cook.”
He did not mind her mockery at all and continued to smile."Fortunately, I confessed first. Otherwise, when you taste my dishes, wouldn't I be embarrassed by you?”
Hua Shuiyan burst out laughing at his words.
Guan Boyan smiled and placed a plate of food in front of her." Please enjoy."”
Hua Shuiyan looked at the paste on the plate that didn't look like meat but smelled like meat. She frowned and pointed at the plate."Sir, what…what is this?”
" This..." Guan Boyan thought for a moment and said seriously,""The name of this dish is 'Chu Bawang committed suicide on the Wujiang River'.”
"What is it? Chu Bawang committed suicide on the Wujiang River? Is there really such a dish?" Hua Shuiyan resisted the urge to laugh. She knew that he was making it up. She supported her head with both hands and stared at Guan Boyan.
Guan Boyan leaned closer to her." This is my family's famous dish. You are lucky to be able to taste this delicious dish today!"”He said seriously.
Hua Shuiyan noticed Guan Boyan's playful side for the first time. She pretended to be surprised and said,"Really? " That would be my honor, but…" She rolled her eyes and looked at him." I don't know where to put the chopsticks. In order not to spoil the taste of this dish, can you demonstrate it first?" Please…"
Guan Boyan didn't expect Hua Shuiyan to give him a backstab." There's no such thing as the host using it first. Naturally, the guest is the first to treat."”
"No, if the host doesn't start eating first, how can the guest start eating first? So it's better for you to go first.”Hua Shuiyan blinked her bright eyes.
" This…" Guan Boyan looked at her with a troubled expression.
" Oh, you don't dare to move your chopsticks…" Hua Shuiyan stared at him." Did you poison the food?"”
"I'm not that despicable." Guan Boyan said unhappily.
"Alright, please enjoy." Hua Shuiyan forced him.
"Fine, I'll eat it. At most, I'll get a stomachache.”Guan Boyan picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a big bite. His eyes suddenly widened.
Hua Shuiyan looked at him in shock." What's wrong?”
Guan Boyan quickly rushed to the kitchen counter and spat out what he had eaten." It's so salty."”Then, he gulped down a large glass of water.
Hua Shuiyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw him gulping down the water." So you didn't want to poison me to death. You wanted to make me salty."”
"Hey! This is my first time cooking, and you're laughing at me.”Guan Boyan could not help but cry out.
Hearing this, Hua Shuiyan felt a little apologetic. She walked behind him." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just…it's just…" She couldn't help but laugh again.
Guan Boyan turned around and looked at Hua Shuiyan, who was almost out of breath from laughing." Is it really that funny?"”
"Yes!" She nodded." Your expression just now was really funny. It turns out that you have a playful side too.”
"Playful? Was there anyone who used playful to describe a man?”He made a face at her.
"Generally speaking, you wouldn't use the word playful to describe a man, but your current appearance is really playful!”She smiled sweetly at him.
Looking at her sweet smile, he knew that he liked this natural and pure her.
Hua Shuiyan did not notice that he was staring at her. She automatically rolled up her sleeves." Let me cook. Even if my cooking skills are not as good as the chefs in the big restaurants, I think I should be as good as you."”She glanced at the famous official dish-Chu Bawang committed suicide on the river.
He sighed and smiled weakly." Alright, let's see what kind of good dishes you can make!”
"Just wait and see." She glanced at him proudly.
Her every frown and smile attracted him deeply. Guan Boyan felt that he had been firmly grasped by an unknown emotion.
She picked up the spatula and flipped the food in the wok. Her movements were so relaxed and skilled. In a short while, she had already cooked a table of good dishes.
She glanced at the dishes on the table and clapped her hands in satisfaction." It's done.”
"Wow, how did you do that?" Guan Boyan let out a gasp of surprise as he unintentionally discovered another talent of hers.
She smiled at him." Try it.”
Guan Boyan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth." It's really good. It doesn't lose to the chef of a big restaurant at all."”
"Isn't it much better than your Overlord Chu committing suicide on the River Wu?”She took the opportunity to mock him.
"Aiyo! Don't make fun of me anymore. Actually, our family doesn't have this dish at all. It's all my imagination! However, when I said the name of this dish, I had already confessed everything to you. It's just that you didn't notice it.”He laughed at himself.
" Oh…" She waited for him to continue.
"I claimed to be the Chu Overlord at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and that inedible and dark dish was the Wu River. The so-called suicide is admitting defeat, so I said that I had already confessed everything to you…It really tastes bad!”Guan Boyan smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Hua Shuiyan couldn't help but laugh." So you still have self-awareness!”
Guan Boyan stared at Hua Shuiyan's moving smile and couldn't help but be moved." You're really beautiful when you're not angry.”
Hua Shuiyan's face suddenly turned red. She stood up hurriedly." I really don't know what you're talking about.”She was anxious to escape from his sight.
"I'm not bullshitting." He hurriedly refuted.
At this moment, both of them fell silent.
Biting her lips, her heart beat faster and faster. At the same time, she had a terrifying premonition…If she didn't escape quickly, she would fall into an unpredictable hell.
She took a step back in panic." I want to rest. Good night."”She quickly escaped from his sight.
Guan Boyan could see her panic. He smiled and followed her without blinking." You know what? You can't escape!"
