Chapter 789: Chapter 789: The Sleeping Ancestor
Fu Shiyan didn’t know that he had been silently criticized by Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan ten thousand tis in their minds.
Not until the car had passed did Fu Shiyan lower his head to look at Jiangli.
He was much taller than Jiangli.
But at that mont, the distance between them had significantly reduced; as he lowered his head, his jaw almost touched the tip of Jiangli’s nose.
Fu Shiyan paused in his movents.
Jiangli also subconsciously lifted her head.
Their gazes collided.
For that instant, it seed as though their breaths intertwined as well.
Looking into Fu Shiyan’s deep, dark eyes, Jiangli suddenly felt stunned, a vague image flashing through her mind.
It disappeared as quickly as it had co.
Before Jiangli could grasp what it was, she heard Fu Shiyan’s voice by her ear.
“Are you alright?”
Snapping back to reality, Jiangli shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyan then helped her to stand up, “That’s good to hear.”
As he spoke, he also reached out to brush the dust from Jiangli’s clothes.
The gesture was so practiced, as if he had done it millions of tis, without any hint of awkwardness or embarrassnt.
Seeing this scene, Duan Jianchuan and Wen Zishu’s eyebrows nearly tangled together.
What… is going on here?
If they didn’t know any better, at first glance, they might think that the third brother and the Abbot were so young lovers who had been dating for a long ti.
They did not resemble people who had yet to express their feelings for each other at all.
“Um…” Wen Zishu said with a mind full of question marks, “Old Duan, did I lose my mory and forget sothing?”
Duan Jianchuan: “…I might actually give you amnesia if I hit you.”
Wen Zishu imdiately gave him a white look.
“Alright, President Fu, I’m fine now.” Not to ntion Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan, even Jiangli felt a subtle awkwardness and quickly grabbed Fu Shiyan’s hand.
But as she did this…
It seed to beco even more awkward.
Jiangli imdiately let go and strategically cleared her throat, “President Fu, let’s go back.”
Fu Shiyan looked at her, and Jiangli didn’t notice that her face had turned a slight shade of red at the mont.
Fu Shiyan chuckled softly but didn’t say anything, “Alright, I’ll take Lili back.”
Jiangli nodded repeatedly.
The group quickly got into the car.
By the ti Duan Jianchuan and Wen Zishu ca back to their senses, they were already in the car.
Jiangli also felt embarrassed and, after getting in the car, leaned against the window and closed her eyes, pretending to be very sleepy and wanting to catch up on so sleep.
Fu Shiyan sat next to her as usual.
But between the two of them, there was an inexplicably delicate magnetic field.
Duan Jianchuan and Wen Zishu did not dare to speak, sitting in the front, scared to even breathe loudly, almost wishing they could perform a vanishing act on the spot.
Duan Jianchuan and Wen Zishu exchanged a glance, silently praying that the third brother and the Abbot couldn’t see them.
As if Jiangli had heard their thoughts, she cooperated very well by falling asleep.
Initially, she just wanted to avoid the embarrassing situation, but maybe because she hadn’t slept well the night before, it was not long before she actually fell asleep.
Duan Jianchuan drove the car forward, over a speed bump.
Jiangli’s body lurched with it.
Just as she was about to hit the car window, Fu Shiyan extended his hand as a cushion on her side.
Thus, Jiangli ended up bumping into Fu Shiyan’s hand.
She did not get startled in the slightest.
Fu Shiyan, as if not feeling any pain, supported Jiangli’s shoulder and gently pushed her head over, letting her lean on his shoulder to sleep.
Jiangli, half-asleep, sensed that Fu Shiyan was doing sothing but was too embarrassed to open her eyes.
At this point, opening her eyes would only make it more embarrassing.
Better to act as if nothing happened.
Leaning on Fu Shiyan’s shoulder, Jiangli quickly fell back into deep darkness.
Unlike the previous darkness, this ti in the dark, Jiangli felt a scent of familiarity, cool and refreshing, as if there was a breeze on her face, blowing away the sumr heat and also the flickering unease in her heart.
