The Faint Fragrance on Her Body

Just because she doesn't say something doesn't mean she doesn't know it.

Wang Yinhua then looked at her eldest son and scolded him harshly, "And you, you're no better than him as a father."

"When Sui Sui hit the child, you went after Sui Sui; when your wife hit the child, why didn't you protect the child?"

"It's a good thing Sui Sui still thought of you as her older brother and left the job to you. All you know is bullying the weak and fearing the strong, isn't that it..."

……

After returning to the Qin family.

Xu Sui had long since put all her unhappiness behind her.

It was already completely dark by now, and it would be time to turn off the lights and go to sleep soon.

Almost everyone in the Qin family returned to their own beds.

When Xu Sui pushed open the door to go back into the room.

As soon as the door opened, I looked up and saw a man lying on the bed reading a book.

Under the dim yellow light.

The man had exceptionally handsome features, with well-defined angles and a high nose bridge. His white shirt was buttoned meticulously to the top, giving him a refined and handsome appearance, as well as an air of dignified elegance.

He held the book with his long, slender, fair fingers, his eyes lowered as if he were reading it very carefully.

Hearing the door open, the other person looked up.

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if they could see each other's fate reflected in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, the air seemed to be filled with a bit more heat and ambiguity.

Xu Sui's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly came back to her senses. She looked away from Qin Yunzhou on the bed and went to her desk. In front of the mirror, she began to untangle her braids and comb her hair back and forth little by little.

On the bed, Qin Yunzhou, who was reading a book, couldn't concentrate on it anymore, and his gaze fell on Xu Sui's back.

Xu Sui has long, jet-black, and glossy hair. She tucks her hair into her chest and gently combs her long, shiny black hair. Her bright and charming profile looks even more beautiful and dazzling under the dim light.

A faint fragrance permeated the air.

Such a delicate fragrance.

Every night, he could smell it in her hair the moment she unconsciously moved closer to him after falling asleep.

It's light and smells wonderful, like the faint fragrance of flowers in the early morning sun.

Qin Yunzhou couldn't help but take another look at the person combing their hair.

Suddenly, I saw my reflection in the mirror.

Just then, Xu Sui also looked into the mirror. Their eyes met briefly in the mirror, and they paused for a moment, both of them stunned.

Qin Yunzhou's face suddenly flushed, and he quickly looked away, lowering his head to continue pretending to read.

Unconsciously, the pressure on his fingers as he gripped the book increased, until his knuckles turned white.

Xu Sui saw Qin Yunzhou's reaction in the mirror again. She didn't hide or avoid it, but looked back at him openly in the mirror.

Finding that the mirror only reflected a small part of the man's face, she adjusted the angle, and soon most of Qin Yunzhou's figure appeared in the mirror.

Sure enough, she discovered some small details that she had never noticed before.

Xu Sui's gaze fell on the mirror. The man looked like he was reading a book seriously, but also like he was daydreaming. His fingers hadn't turned the page for a long time, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Is this person really spacing out?

From the moment she started combing her hair, she noticed in the mirror that Qin Yunzhou seemed to be looking at her.

What was initially uncertain now seems to be somewhat certain.

Seeing that the other party didn't make any move, Xu Sui focused her attention on tidying herself up, combing her hair, washing her face...

After tidying up, it was almost time to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Sure enough, she had just changed into her pajamas, lifted the covers, and lay down.

The next second, every household simultaneously turned off their power and lights, and gradually began to fall asleep.

The room was completely silent.

Thinking about what had just happened, Xu Sui lay in bed and turned her head to look at the man beside her, not by peeking, but openly.

It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. The only thing that could be seen was the other person's angular profile, which could be barely made out by the moonlight outside the window.

Before long, the other person noticed something amiss and looked over. A clear, pleasant male voice slowly rang out, "Is there something you need?"

Xu Sui shook her head. "It's nothing."

Qin Yunzhou sensed something was wrong. She would immediately close her eyes and go to sleep as soon as she got into bed, and she would never look at him like this. This didn't seem like something was wrong.

So he asked again, "Are you really okay?"

Xu Sui thought for a moment and then asked, "What were you doing while I was combing my hair?"

Qin Yunzhou's face flushed again, and he cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly, "...Reading."

"Really?" Xu Sui blinked, stared at his profile in the darkness for a long time, and slowly added, "I don't quite believe it."

She saw it all.

This person is looking at her.

The room was completely silent, without a sound; it was extremely quiet.

It was as if you could clearly hear someone's heartbeat quickening.

bang bang bang-

Qin Yunzhou knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he coughed lightly and spoke awkwardly.

"Feel sorry."

He didn't want to peek, but there was a faint floral scent in the air.

He couldn't help but search for the source of the fragrance, and couldn't help but wonder why she had such a delicate and pleasant floral scent.

"It's nothing, no need to apologize."

As soon as she said "sorry," Xu Sui pursed her lips and suddenly felt even more distant from her.

It was that kind of polite distance that she didn't like.

This immediately made Xu Sui lose the will to ask any more questions, and she even started to yawn, so she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She sleeps well, and just a few minutes ago she had put these unhappy things out of her mind and drifted off to sleep.

Hearing the breathing of someone falling asleep beside him, Qin Yunzhou fell silent, somewhat puzzled.

Is talking to him really that boring? They've only exchanged a few words.

He remembered that when Xu Sui was dating Gu Shu, the two could talk on the phone for a long time.

Early the next morning.

The morning light wasn't yet so harsh or scorching.

When Xu Sui woke up, she found that the man was no longer beside her.

When I got up, I saw Qin Yunzhou exercising in the yard. His leg was still not healed, but his hands were fine. Even though he was sitting on a stool, it didn't stop him from lifting weights or practicing his aim by hitting small stones against fixed spots on the wall.

Today is the weekend.

School is on holiday.

Qin Hai and Qin Yan, the two siblings, circled around their second brother, Qin Yunzhou, who had just returned home.

It seems like it's because I ate meat yesterday.

They quickly became familiar with Qin Yunzhou, and within a day, they were calling him "Second Brother" so naturally that they always loved to hang around him, chattering away.

"Wow, you won again! Second brother is amazing!"

"Second brother is the best! Second brother, please teach me!"

Xu Sui had just stepped out to get water from the tap to wash up when, a second later, before she had even washed her face or brushed her teeth, she was suddenly pulled to Qin Yunzhou's side by an excited Qin Yan.

"Second sister-in-law, look! What's this? Isn't second brother amazing?"

"Second Brother just shot this bird down from the sky with a stone. Second Brother is the best, don't you think, Sister-in-law?"

In an instant.

Before Xu Sui could react to what was happening, she instantly met Qin Yunzhou's gaze.
