The headache started to throb, and even the ringing began.
Su Yue couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Go down!" Jiang Ci's face was expressionless, and his tone was cold. Su Yue was not only not afraid, but also happy to death.
She hugged his waist tightly and held back her laughter." Okay, okay, I'll stand up now. Don't be angry in the middle of the night." Su Yue let go of her hand holding Jiang Ci's waist.
"Your clothes are wet, I'll find you some clothes." Su Yue put the cup aside, then went to the closet and quickly found another black pajama for Jiang Ci, and also went to the bathroom to get a dry towel.
The ringing in her mind still echoed, and Su Yue knew that Jiang Ci was still angry.
"Your hair is all wet, let me wipe it for you." Su Yue walked over and put the towel on Jiang Ci's head, gently wiping it for him." Jiang Ci, I didn't mean it, don't be angry, okay?"
Jiang Ci's fingers, which were buttoned, were slender, with distinct joints, and looked beautiful against his face. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "I'm not angry."
Liar!
Su Yue silently cursed this sentence behind him. She took the hair dryer, plugged it in, and began to blow Jiang Ci's hair. Her fingertips interlaced through the soft strands, and Su Yue patiently blew back and forth. When the hair was almost dry, she ran to the water dispenser and poured him another cup of warm water. Her service attitude was simply excellent.
"I poured you some water, it's not hot." Su Yue handed it to Jiang Ci and whispered, "Jiang Ci, you won't be angry with me for trying so hard, will you?"
It's quite easy to make someone angry, but it's not so simple to coax them back.
Jiang Ci leaned back on the bed, his hands supporting him, his eyebrows slightly raised, with a cold expression. His pitch-black eyes were like bottomless black holes, making people inexplicably tremble." You splashed water on me and injured me. Isn't it right to make up for it now?"
He took a sip of water, and the light-colored thin lips were stained with water, ignoring the scars on his face and the band-aid. He was surprisingly good-looking.
Su Yue quickly looked away, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and whispered, "I'm sorry for making you angry. How about I make you a mango cake tomorrow as a punishment?"
Jiang Ci didn't make a sound. He lay straight on the bed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
"Anger value: 0."
Su Yue looked at him lying flat on the bed, his body straight, his hands vertical on both sides of his legs, sticking to the seam of his pants. She couldn't help but smile secretly at his very proper sleeping posture.
He's so easy to coax!
Su Yue quickly took out the weighing scale and stood on it. The number displayed was still 140 pounds. She decided to weigh herself again the next morning.
After going to the bathroom and doing her skincare routine, Su Yue returned to bed. She lay down, trying to stay away from Jiang Ci. She even rolled up the blanket into a barrier between them, not wanting to anger him again.
The next morning, Su Yue woke up early and saw that she was lying across the barrier. She quickly sat up, relieved that Jiang Ci hadn't noticed.
She didn't even have time to put on her shoes before she went to find the weighing scale.
135 pounds!
She had lost five pounds!
Su Yue was pleased that she had guessed correctly. Whenever Jiang Ci got angry, she would lose five pounds. She even noticed that her skin had become a bit whiter.
Su Yue was proud of her ability to become more beautiful. Even though Jiang Ci's anger caused her suffering, she was willing to endure it for the reward of beauty.
Standing in front of the mirror, Su Yue examined her face. Her cheeks were still a bit chubby, but her chin had become sharper, and her eyes were bigger and brighter. Her skin had also become whiter.
She was still wearing the loose clothes of the previous owner, but she looked thinner overall.
Su Yue finished washing up with a beautiful mood, and carefully applied skincare products. As someone who was mixing in the entertainment industry, she knew how much convenience a pretty face could bring. Even when she was beautiful before, she still had to take good care of herself. Now that she looked like this, she naturally had to take even more care of herself.
During breakfast, Su Yue didn't intentionally provoke Jiang Ci again. After all, she had lost another five pounds today. Losing weight too quickly would inevitably raise suspicion. She planned to provoke Jiang Ci every once in a while so that her weight loss wouldn't be too noticeable.
"Jiang Ci, this is the mango cake I made for you in the morning. Try it. I used new ingredients, so it won't be too sweet." Su Yue's voice was already very pleasant to listen to, but now she deliberately softened her tone, making it so gentle that it could drip water.
Jiang Ci thought Su Yue was apologizing for what happened last night, so he raised his eyebrows and naturally ate the cake.
"Hao Hao wants to eat too." Jiang Haoyan said in a milky voice. After swinging on the swing yesterday, Jiang Haoyan's fear and disgust towards Su Yue had decreased a lot. Now he opened his big eyes and looked at Su Yue.
"This is yours. Children shouldn't eat too much sweet food, or they'll get cavities." Su Yue handed him the piece that she had already prepared for the little guy. It was only a small piece, but it was particularly delicate and beautiful. The cake was not only covered with thick mango sauce, but also had two bright red strawberries on top, which was very cute.
Jiang Haoyan's big eyes lit up, and his chubby hands couldn't wait to push the cake in front of him. He began to eat breakfast contentedly.
Previously, Su Yue had someone remove all the flowers in the backyard and replaced them with bamboo. The workers were very efficient, and in just three days, a small artificial bamboo forest was created. It was now early summer, and the sun wasn't too hot. It was very comfortable to sit in the bamboo forest and listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves.
After breakfast, Su Yue stopped Jiang Ci from going to the dark study to meditate.
"Jiang Ci, I had someone remove all the flowers in the backyard. You can go out for a walk and don't have to stay indoors all day." Su Yue said with a smile. Jiang Ci was surprised when he saw that Su Yue had pulled out all the flowers." Did you pull out all the flowers in the garden?"
Su Yue nodded, wondering if he was moved by her efforts.
The next second, Jiang Ci's thin lips lifted into a mischievous smile. "Do you know that those flowers were planted by Song Xiaoqing? If she finds out that you pulled out all her flowers, will she be angry with you?" Jiang Ci knew that Su Yue had been trying to please Song Xiaoqing, and now that she had done something so foolish, she would be furious.
Su Yue was stunned. She really didn't know. But this man's expression of amusement was too annoying.
Wasn't she doing this for him?
Su Yue glared at him in anger, her cheeks puffed up." I didn't know! Are you happy that I got scolded?"
Jiang Ci laughed heartily." It's not bad."
"It's too late to say anything now that the flowers have been pulled out." Even if she knew, she still did it. Su Yue reached out and grabbed Jiang Ci's arm instead of his hand, pulling him out." Anyway, I'm going to get scolded, so I can't do anything useless."
Jiang Ci was tall and big, but he was caught off guard and stumbled a bit. He sounded a bit annoyed." Let go!"
"Jiang Ci, are you afraid that your appearance will scare others, so you hide in the house all day?" Su Yue kept pulling Jiang Ci down the stairs, not worried that he would get angry.
"Hmph, don't try to provoke me, it's useless and only makes you look stupid," Jiang Ci said with a cold expression.
Su Yue angrily shook off his hand. She shouldn't have interfered.
Feeling Su Yue's annoyance, Jiang Ci smirked and said, "But now I feel like going out for a walk." He then supported himself on the handrail of the stairs and walked down step by step.
Su Yue bit her lip. She felt that she shouldn't care about his sulking behavior.
In front of the small villa, Jiang Haoyan was swinging coriander on a swing. When he saw Jiang Ci coming out of the house, the little guy's eyes widened." Daddy!" He picked up the coriander and ran to Jiang Ci, pulling on his clothes." Daddy?"
"Hmm."
"Little Haohao, I'll take your dad out for some fresh air."
Su Yue also pulled on Jiang Ci's clothes and dragged him to the pavilion. Inside were two long bamboo lounges, each with a clean-colored pillow. Next to the lounges was a round table made of the same green bamboo, crafted by skilled workers to be unique.
The sound of bamboo on the lounges was so enjoyable.
Su Yue had Jiang Ci lie down on the lounge and thoughtfully adjusted the pillow for him." Wait a minute." She hurried back to the house and soon returned with a tray in her hand.
On top of it was a teapot, a plate of fruit, and a book.
Su Yue also sat down on another chair and picked up Jiang Haoyan, sitting him on her lap and softly cooing, "Shall we read a book for your dad?"
Jiang Haoyan was reluctant to be held by Su Yue at first, struggling with his chubby body. But when he heard her words, he quieted down. His little ears turned red. Except for when he was a baby, he had never been held by an adult, not even his father.
Su Yue looked at the little guy with his pouting mouth and furrowed eyebrows, unwilling but obedient expression, and was charmed. She took a piece of chilled watermelon and put it in his chubby little hand, saying, "When you finish eating, you can hold it yourself."
Jiang Haoyan's big eyes lit up, and he obediently snuggled in Su Yue's arms, biting into the watermelon.
Su Yue opened a book she randomly picked up from Jiang Ci's study. She glanced at Jiang Ci, who was leaning against the chair. The sunlight shining through the bamboo made the scar on his face more prominent.
Su Yue didn't think it was ugly at all. She had met many people who looked beautiful on the surface but had ugly and wicked personalities.
"Jiang Ci, I didn't expect you to read this kind of book." Su Yue looked at the title of the book and smiled.
"These books aren't mine." Jiang Ci's eyelids drooped, and his voice was lazy. Perhaps he hadn't been in the sun for too long, his skin was very pale.
That's right, Jiang Ci moved to this small building after he went blind. Su Yue casually flipped through a page and began reading the contents of the book.
Su Yue's voice is very pleasant, soft and murmuring, particularly clear in the quiet bamboo forest with a gentle breeze blowing. As she used to be an actress, her skill in reciting lines is excellent, and she reads with great emotion.
The gentle breeze carries her soft voice into Jiang Ci's ears, like a whisper to him.
Jiang Haoyan's little guy cannot understand what Su Yue is reading, but he enjoys listening nonetheless. He bites into a watermelon, his chubby cheeks bulging, and happily looks at Jiang Ci and Su Yue, squinting his big eyes.
Jiang Muhang walks through the bamboo forest on a small path. He had heard that Su Yue was going to remove the famous flowers in the backyard and plant bamboo, and he frowned, thinking she didn't know what she was doing. As he approaches the small villa, he hears the woman's clear and gentle reading voice, and he stops in his tracks, looking towards the pavilion.
He sees his older brother reclining on a bamboo chair, with a slight smile on his lips. Beside him, Su Yue holds a child and reads a book.
Jiang Muhang is stunned by the scene, finding it unbelievable. He lowers his gaze and walks towards the pavilion.
"Big brother."
Jiang Muhang's deep voice interrupts Su Yue's reading. He glances at her and then looks away. He wonders if she has lost weight.
"Grandfather sent me to ask you how you want to celebrate your birthday next month."
Jiang Ci's eyelids lift, and he tugs at the corner of his mouth." Do you really want to help me celebrate?"
Jiang Muhang's eyes flashed an unnatural color, "Of course."
"With my appearance, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?" Jiang Ci's face turned cold, and her eyes were full of annoyance." Forget it, I'm not a fool. If you're ashamed of me, there's no need to pretend. I'm too lazy to socialize."
"I understand what Big Brother means." Jiang Muhang didn't care about Jiang Ci's coldness. He glanced at the shabby bungalow and the fat and ugly Su Yue, and continued, "If there's anything you need, just let me know." After speaking, he left.
"Keep reading! You're dazzled by Jiang Muhang's arrival?" Jiang Ci waited for a while and still didn't hear Su Yue's voice. He sneered, "Is Jiang Muhang better looking than me?"
In the next second, Jiang Ci suddenly realized that his face was ruined. He sneered disdainfully and suddenly became a little angry.
Su Yue looked at Jiang Ci incredulously, listening to the ringing in her mind. She immediately whispered, "Jiang Muhang is indeed not as good-looking as you."
Jiang Ci wanted to sarcastically retort, thinking that he had not heard her praise Jiang Muhang for being handsome. In the next second, Su Yue said seriously, "His nose is not as straight as yours, his eyes are not as beautiful as yours, and his chin is not as perfect as yours."
"Jiang Ci, you are much better looking than Jiang Muhang."
Beside them, little Haohao echoed in a milky voice, "Daddy is handsome."
"Anger value: 0." Jiang Ci furrowed her brows and said coldly, "Boring." Her eyes and eyebrows slightly lifted, showing a hint of joy.
