Chapter 400: Giving Up a Good Opportunity to Stealthily Eat Tofu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After entering the room, Huangfu Lingyao discreetly cracked open the window and tiptoed to the edge of the bed.
He moved as stealthily as a thief, yet he felt no guilt whatsoever. In reality, he had not come with any specific intention; he simply sat down gently on the edge of the bed, observing her peaceful slumber.
The early summer weather had turned warm, and she was p.r.o.ne to feeling hot, so she had only pulled a corner of the blanket over her belly. She wore a white nightgown, her hair cascading loosely, like a cascade of three thousand emerald threads sprawled across the pillow, ensnaring his gaze.
Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes took on a more enchanting hue as he reached out and touched her. Her skin was as smooth as silk, just as he had expected.
With her eyes closed in deep slumber, Liu s.h.i.+mei appeared devoid of her usual sharp wit, exuding only tranquility. There was no trace of her domineering aura from times of dealing with scoundrels, only the demeanor of a gentle young girl. Nor did she exhibit the tender indulgence she reserved for him; instead, she appeared as innocent as someone unacquainted with the ways of the world.
Thinking about it, she was only 16 years old!
A faint smile played on his lips as his gaze drifted to her feet, which peeked out from under the blanket.
A pair of delicate feet, truly deserving of the term ‘jade feet’.
The last time, he had discovered a hint of a foot fetish in himself. He had reached out, intending to touch them, but his fingers had hesitated just before making contact.
What if he accidentally woke her up? That would be disastrous!
So, he contented himself with watching her for a while, feeling a slight regret that her bed was too small for him to surrept.i.tiously lie down without her noticing.
In the end, he settled for sitting on the edge of the bed, his feet resting on the footstool, and simply gazing at Liu s.h.i.+mei’s serene sleeping face, his own eyes closing.
He had missed a perfect opportunity to stealthily eat tofu!
Having stayed up all night, Liu s.h.i.+mei had slept for over two hours before waking up. She opened her eyes to find a magnified handsome face right in front of her, which startled her and made her sit up abruptly!
“Lingyao?” She let out a sigh of relief only after realizing who it was.
Anyone would be startled if they woke up to see a man suddenly in front of them.
In truth, Huangfu Linyao had been awake for a while, playing with her hair as he leaned on the edge of the bed. He had twirled a few strands around his fingers for quite some time, only pretending to be asleep when he sensed her waking up.
He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said, “Wife, had enough sleep?”
“Why are you here?” Liu s.h.i.+mei reclaimed her hair.
Then, to her dismay, she discovered that her hair was a tangled mess, a complete disaster!
She looked at him incredulously. “Did you do this to my hair?”
This question conveniently allowed Huangfu Linyao to avoid answering the previous one. He blinked his long eyelashes innocently and said, “I don’t know. I was asleep too. Maybe I accidentally messed up your hair while dreaming!” His gaze landed on her hair, and he felt a little guilty.
After developing a foot fetish, he had taken an interest in her jet-black hair. Without realizing it, he had played with it to the point of tangling it up. He hadn’t even figured out how to untangle it when she woke up!
Liu s.h.i.+mei looked at him suspiciously.
Only he was in the room, and her hair had been in his hands just moments ago. If it wasn’t him, then who could it be?
She rescued her hair and got out of bed to search for a comb at her dressing table. She began the battle against the tangled mess.
However, the knot was too stubborn. The more she combed, the messier it became. Finally, it all got stuck about an inch from the tips. Liu s.h.i.+mei frowned, opened a drawer on her dressing table, and took out a pair of scissors. Snip! She cut off the tangled section of hair!
Her actions were too swift for Huangfu Linyao to protest.
He stared at the severed lock of hair, feeling as though his heart was bleeding..
