Yun Lih played with the ashtray, looking at the ’Yun’ character at the bottom, clearly aware Xia Siyu was fooling him.
As if he hadn’t stayed at the Cloud Hotel before?
How dare Xia Siyu tell the truth, this ashtray was a custom-made crystal model she had soone make.
The ’Yun’ character was one she personally wrote and had placed inside the ashtray, if the ashtray was flipped over, there would be a ’Lih’ character on the reverse side.
Every ti she smoked in a fretful mood, she would hold this ashtray and look at his na.
Looking at it while thinking, silently amplifying the loneliness and sorrow.
But this kind of private little emotion, Xia Siyu had never told an outsider, it was too embarrassing and seed pretentious.
Who would have thought seeing him smoke just now, she would bring out the ashtray without thinking?
At this mont, Yun Lih took a drag from his cigarette, holding the ashtray casually, "So it’s from Cloud Hotel."
Xia Siyu plucked at the sofa beside her legs, forcibly changing the subject, "Where is your ho again?"
"Want to take you to see it?" Yun Lih kept the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, holding the ashtray in one hand and pulling her to stand, "Coincidentally, I’m missing an ashtray."
Xia Siyu walked with him for a couple of steps, still muttering, "Hold on, let grab my bag."
Yun Lih didn’t stop his pace, quickly reached the entrance, nodding towards the cabinet by the door with the cigarette still in his mouth, "Bring my suitcase."
Xia Siyu picked up his small suitcase, still muttering as she went out the door, "I didn’t even grab my phone, what if..."
Before the words were finished, she was pulled by Yun Lih into room 2701 next door.
Outside the corridor, Ah Hao squatted by the elevator, bored playing gas, with the earlier unfinished cigarette still clipped to his ear.
"Master Yun, Miss Xia." As soon as Ah Hao raised his head, his ga character was shot dead by his distraction.
Yun Lih glanced at him, his expression indifferent as he instructed, "Keep busy."
Ah Hao was halfway getting up, hearing this he squatted down again.
Xia Siyu looked completely bewildered as Yun Lih used fingerprint recognition to open the door, following him inside with unsteady steps, "You... this house..."
"Yeah, it’s my ho." Yun Lih placed the ashtray on the cabinet by the door and received the suitcase, "Very surprised?"
Xia Siyu expressed surprise, then asked, "Did you buy it or rent it?"
"Do I need to rent?" Yun Lih set the suitcase down on the floor, picked up the ashtray again and led Xia Siyu into the living room.
The layout of the two apartnts was similar, but Yun Lih’s apartnt was a cool tone of black and gray.
Xia Siyu found it very novel, looking around curiously, "When did you buy it?"
She wasn’t familiar with the neighbors, had seen them in the elevator a few tis but never spoke.
Yun Lih pulled her by the arm and sat down on the sofa, "Not long ago."
He didn’t specify a date, seemingly not intending to say more.
Xia Siyu touched the pure black leather sofa, couldn’t help but continue to glance around.
Even though this was his newly purchased apartnt, it was also her first ti entering his private domain.
The room wasn’t brightly lit, coupled with the black and gray sche, the overall visual effect totally matched the impression Yun Lih gave.
Cold, unrestrained, distant, and indifferent.
Xia Siyu was observing intently, until her gaze was caught by the small bar in the living room corner.
She walked over and looked at the black liquor cabinet, her eyes flickered subtly.
The liquor inside the cabinet was exactly the sa as the ones in the apartnt in Faliang.
All the kinds she often drank, along with his favorite whiskey.
Xia Siyu put her hands on the bar, turned back to look at Yun Lih smoking, hesitantly asked, "How long will you stay in Cloud City?"
Yun Lih tapped so ash into the ashtray, "As long as you want, you decide."
"I decide?" Xia Siyu joked without thinking, "Then if I tell you to stay for a lifeti, you’ll be willing?"
Yun Lih didn’t answer, but gazed at her with an exceptionally profound look.
Xia Siyu’s heart was stung by his gaze, quickly turned away explaining, "I was joking."
She probably got carried away, unconsciously speaking her deepest desire.
Asking Yun Lih to stay in Cloud City, equivalent to asking him to give up everything in Nia State.
Xia Siyu knew very well, this was too harsh.
Not to ntion he only liked her, even with deep love, he probably couldn’t bear such a profound sentint.
Behind her, ca the sound of steady footsteps.
Xia Siyu’s fingertips tightly clutched the edge of the table, wanting to find another topic to dissolve the current awkwardness but was at a loss for words.
At the sa ti, Yun Lih placed both hands behind her on the small bar.
This gesture just happened to trap Xia Siyu, leaving her no escape.
Xia Siyu pretended to be calm and turned around, leaning against the bar, lightly laughed to cover up her embarrassnt, "I’m hungry."
Yun Lih looked down at the woman captured in front of him, his eyes obscured by a depth she couldn’t see, "Xiaxia, do you want to reside with you in Cloud City?"
"No, I said it was a joke." Xia Siyu shook her head quickly, "I’m teasing you."
She deeply understood she couldn’t bear the weight of Yun Lih’s sacrifice, regardless of whether he was willing or not.
"Have you ever thought about it? Tell the truth." Yun Lih’s fingers hovered by her jaw, not too heavy a tone, yet like a dull drumbeat pounding on Xia Siyu’s heart.
She still shook her head, her gaze sincere, "Never thought about it."
Yun Lih leaned forward, his handso face slightly pressing down, "Cer-tain?"
Xia Siyu leaned backward, but her gaze dared not et his, "Of course certain."
Yun Lih turned her face back, his features filled with complex emotions.
How could he fail to see the caution and care hidden in Xia Siyu’s evasive look?
She totally dared not reveal her heart in front of him, so carefully maintaining the yet-to-be-solid feelings between them.
Actually, if she dared to express, he would certainly agree.
Yun Lih closed his eyes, stepped forward, sighing as he drew Xia Siyu into his embrace.
Love? Not sure.
But liking and feeling tender had been growing daily.
Xia Siyu quietly rested against his chest, then reached out to hug his waist, spoke muffledly, "I really never thought of asking you to settle down in Cloud City, you don’t have to think that way."
If one side must give up more, she hoped that person would be her.
Yun Lih’s throat felt tight, lightly caressed her waist, "Okay."
He responded, and Xia Siyu’s heavy mood eased quite a bit.
She tightened her arms, hugged Yun Lih strongly, listening to his heartbeat with closed eyes.
Having tasted the bitterness of unrequited love enough, every mont and second now was a blessing to her.
Yun Lih’s warm palm rubbed her head, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything, I’ll leave it to you." Xia Siyu raised her head, her eyes bright, filled with his reflection.
Yun Lih just looked at her, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, once again lowered his head and kissed her.
Though inexperienced, it didn’t hinder Yun Lih’s fondness for kissing Xia Siyu.
Especially Xia Siyu’s awkward and clumsy response, it strangely satisfied him.
