Yun Qian is someone whose thoughts are hard to grasp, so even when she suddenly covers her eyes, Xu Changâan is only surprised for a moment.
What kind of scenery is before him now?
Yun Qian is a very charming person.
But there are many types of charm in a person, and for Xu Changâan, who is accustomed to her beauty, to feel a thrill is extremely rare.
For Xu Changâan, when he sees Miss Yun covering her eyes, with her oval-shaped face and elegant brows, itâs as if the strings of his heart are fiercely plucked by a jade hand, and only by gripping his sleeve does he restrain his thoughts.
Itâs the first time he sees Miss Yun emanating such an aura. If he must say, the ribbon covering her eyes magnifies and manifests the mystery unique to Yun Qian that only he knows.
Is it just covering the eyes that creates such an effect and looks so good?
Xu Changâan doesnât quite understand.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, and he is someone with a discerning heart. Although he loves everything about Miss Yun, he can rank them in his mind, and her gentle eyes undoubtedly make it into the top three.
Yet now not seeing her eyes, he feels even more moved.
It shouldnât be like this, heâs not someone who gets bored with the old and yearns for the new.
This is what Xu Changâan thinks.
ââ
Yun Qian closes her eyes, the evening sunâs rays blocked by the ribbon, her sight is dark, yet she can clearly perceive Xu Changâanâs presence right in front of her.
One sensation from the ribbon, another from his breath.
Yun Qian slightly tilts her head, thinking this method is feasible. As long as she covers her eyes, even if he gets hurt, she can pretend not to see, thereby not spoiling his mood.
Learning that systemâs "donât look" approach was indeed correct, very useful.
Her view of the system has shifted a bit.
With this thought, Miss Yun slightly opens her mouth, waiting for Xu Changâan to feed her the unappealing snacks.
A few breaths later.
After a while.
Xu Changâan still does not move, as if frozen in place.
Yun Qian is not in a hurry, she knows her husband lacks initiative, so she just bites her lip and continues to wait.
"..."
Time flows by.
The chirping of birds outside the window is clearly audible.
Xu Changâan glances at the pastries in front of him, then at the flock of autumn sparrows not far away, and finally his gaze falls on Yun Qianâs neck, his eyes deep, pupils trembling slightly.
"..."
Yun Qianâs neck starts to ache.
If she hadnât heard Xu Changâanâs breathing, she wouldâve thought he had left her there and walked away alone.
"You..."
Yun Qian slightly furrows her elegant brows, asking uncertainly, "What are you doing? Werenât you going to feed me?"
Hearing Yun Qian speak, Xu Changâan pauses, the emotion in his eyes gradually fading.
Her voice is still so gentle and soothing, best at calming him down.
"Miss." Xu Changâan steps in front of Yun Qian, his hand brushes across the ribbon before gently resting on her cheek.
Yun Qian feels the warmth on her face, she tilts her head towards Xu Changâanâs palm, "Whatâs wrong with you?"
"I like your eyes." Xu Changâan says earnestly.
"Hmm, I know." Yun Qian nods, her eyes covered, calmly says, "Why say this? Want to see my eyes? Let me eat the snack first, then go make dinner, Iâm really hungry."
"Alright." Hearing Miss Yunâs focus on dinner, the turmoil in Xu Changâanâs heart instantly dissipates, he gently sighs, picks up an item, and brings it to Yun Qianâs lips.
"Eat."
"Hmm."
Yun Qianâs lips slightly open, biting onto the item Xu Changâan offers, but just as it enters her mouth, she pauses.
"Frosting? Not sesame?"
She remembers clearly sprinkling sesame over the insect, but it tastes completely different from what she thought.
"Where does candy have sesame? Itâs supposed to be frosting." Xu Changâan laughs, his hearty laughter clearly reaching outside, startling a flock of autumn sparrows.
"Whatâs so funny." Yun Qian tastes the familiar sweet jelly, asks curiously, "Werenât you giving me the cake?"
"Not eating." Xu Changâan says, "Since you covered your eyes to not look, how can I be hard-hearted enough to make Miss eat?"
"Itâs not because of the snacks." Yun Qian shakes her head, thinking if in cultivation he were not so hard-hearted, not getting hurt would spare her heartache.
"Anyway, today Iâve lost." Xu Changâan says, reaching to loosen the ribbon over Yun Qianâs eyes.
As Yun Qian opens her eyes, under the Fire Stoneâs glow, Xu Changâan thinks her brows and eyes are more beautiful, radiant and alluring.
Seeing Xu Changâan tightly clutching the ribbon, his body stiff, after a momentary pause, Yun Qian sighs, "Youâre such a strange person, Iâm your wife, why hold back."
"Miss, Iâve already said, I like your eyes." Xu Changâan says helplessly.
"So?" Yun Qian takes out a handkerchief, spits out the pit, and looks at Xu Changâan, "You want my eyes? I can give them to you."
"The mood Iâve set up for so long, youâve completely shattered." Xu Changâanâs mouth twitches, these words sound a bit creepy.
Whatâs he supposed to do with her eyes.
"Whatever makes you happy." Yun Qian vigorously pries open Xu Changâanâs fingers, retrieves her favorite red ribbon, smooths out the creases, and looks at the untouched pastries on the plate, asks, "Really not letting me eat it?"
"Not eating." Xu Changâan responds.
Leaving other matters aside, at least today itâs not possible, unwilling to part with it, he will think of a way later.
