Chapter 103: Drink Something Sweet
Still on the way home, Bai Shuchuan carried the suitcase and followed Su Moyu into the station.
It started to rain, matching the mood. The high-speed rail station was crowded. It was noisy, yet you could still hear the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.
They arrived a bit earlier than usual. Su Moyu pulled him to sit down in the waiting area.
Bai Shuchuan lowered his head and called his mother. After a short ringing sound, his mother’s tired voice came from the other side.
“Mom, what exactly happened to Dad?”
“It seems his heart had a problem and he suddenly fainted,” his mother replied. “He’s stable now, so don’t worry.”
Su Moyu secretly looked at Bai Shuchuan’s face. Seeing his serious expression, she thought for a moment.
She turned to look at a milk tea shop nearby and suddenly got an idea.
Let him drink something sweet.
She stood up. Bai Shuchuan noticed her movement and his eyes naturally followed her.
Su Moyu turned back and smiled at him, then walked toward the milk tea shop.
“Mm, I’m at the high-speed rail station now…” Bai Shuchuan said, lowering his head again and staring blankly at the ground. “Su Moyu is coming back with me too.”
Su Moyu walked up to the shop and ordered a cup of pearl milk tea. She noticed the price was almost the same as outside, which was quite reasonable.
She stood at the counter watching short videos on her phone. When the staff handed her the drink, she said thank you and turned back toward Bai Shuchuan.
He was looking down at his phone. Su Moyu tore open the straw wrapper, carefully inserted the straw, and handed the drink to him.
Only then did Bai Shuchuan look up. Su Moyu smiled gently at him.
“Drink something sweet. It will make you feel better.”
Bai Shuchuan felt a warmth in his heart. He reached out and held the cup, it felt cold.
This was Su Moyu’s habit. No matter the weather, she liked cold drinks.
Completely different from him.
But he didn’t say anything. He just quietly took a sip.
Their fingers touched. Su Moyu’s fingertips were cold. After taking the cup, Bai Shuchuan gently held her hand.
Su Moyu blinked in surprise, her hand pausing for a moment.
“Your hand is so cold,” Bai Shuchuan said after swallowing the milk tea. His voice sounded low, and the warmth from his hand made her heart skip a beat.
“Suddenly… it feels really warm,” Su Moyu muttered, sitting down next to him.
What’s wrong with me… why is my heart beating so fast all of a sudden?
She pressed her lips together, feeling her cheeks getting warm.
But being held like this by Bai Shuchuan really made her feel safe.
“What did you tell your mom?” Su Moyu asked softly. “How is your dad?”
“He’s out of danger,” Bai Shuchuan replied. “He hasn’t woken up yet, but it should be okay.”
“Mm.” Su Moyu nodded and quietly looked at his side profile.
The next second, Bai Shuchuan turned his head. Su Moyu blinked and saw a slightly confused expression on his face.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
Su Moyu shook her head, not wanting him to notice what she was thinking.
She didn’t even know why she didn’t want him to realize that she was carefully watching his feelings.
“I was just thinking you look handsome,” she said without thinking.
Bai Shuchuan choked a little, his expression turning stiff.
Su Moyu also felt it was a bit cheesy, but she still tried to look calm.
“I want to drink too.”
As she spoke, she pulled her hand out of his. Bai Shuchuan frowned.
“You only bought one cup?”
“Yeah,” Su Moyu replied. She reached out and took the milk tea, making Bai Shuchuan pause for a moment as he watched her put the straw into her mouth.
Seeing his reaction, she showed a meaningful smile.
“What? Do you think I’m dirty?”
“No…” Bai Shuchuan answered blankly, his eyes drawn to her soft, pink lips.
Su Moyu purposely made a slightly sad expression.
“Hmph, if you mind it, then you’re not allowed to kiss me next time.”
Her tone rose and fell playfully, full of a light, girlish feeling.
Her cheeks were still a little red…
Actually, she just wanted to tease him a bit. When she read romance novels before, scenes like this were always described as very heart-fluttering.
She looked at Bai Shuchuan again. He still looked a bit stunned, so she smiled helplessly.
“Sorry,” Bai Shuchuan said.
Now Su Moyu was confused, and her expression quickly turned a bit annoyed.
Seriously, what was she even expecting from him!
She had already said something so embarrassing…
Just thinking about her tone earlier made her feel awkward inside.
And yet Bai Shuchuan was still so calm…
It felt like she tried to tease him but ended up embarrassing herself instead…
“Why are you apologizing?” Su Moyu asked unhappily after pausing for a moment.
Now Bai Shuchuan really couldn’t follow her thinking anymore.
“Uh… because I made you angry?” he said carefully.
“I’m not,” Su Moyu said, pushing the cup back into his hand. “Ah… you really are so clueless!”
Her tone sounded a bit frustrated.
Bai Shuchuan sighed helplessly. “Then… was I supposed to just kiss you right then?”
Su Moyu’s whole face turned red.
“Ah, you really—!!!”
Her voice changed, and she couldn’t help imagining that scene.
To be honest… she might have… kind of… expected something like that.
Seeing her eyes avoid his, Bai Shuchuan suddenly felt what he said was a bit unreasonable too.
“I guess… it’s because you don’t have much dating experience.”
As she said that, Su Moyu also comforted herself in her heart.
She should probably teach Bai Shuchuan more…
But…
Her eyes lowered slightly. Feeling the warmth on her cheeks, the words she could casually say before now felt hard to say out loud.
“Is that so…” Bai Shuchuan said, feeling a bit stuck. “But you don’t have much experience either.”
Su Moyu pouted. “I read novels, okay?”
“Then you’re just learning from books.”
Su Moyu huffed twice, clearly not convinced.
“That’s still better than you knowing nothing. Why didn’t you turn into a girl instead? Then I could tease you.”
She rested her chin on her hand, her cheeks looking soft and round, very cute.
Bai Shuchuan couldn’t accept that idea.
“Wouldn’t that be strange… I think it suits you better to be the girl,” he replied.
Su Moyu suddenly felt that their conversation sounded a bit… oddly suggestive.
