Chapter 62: Chapter 50 First Encounter Chapter 62: Chapter 50 First Encounter “Okay,” Shu Wan pulled the blanket off her body and glanced out the window subconsciously.
Bruce is a city far up north on the planet, surrounded by the sea on three sides and rich in humidity, mostly shrouded in rain and fog.
The weather today was overcast, which seed rather dark for soone like Shu Wan who was used to the sunny and blooming spring days of Imperial City, but in reality, it was a calm day without wind or rain, considered fine weather for Bruce.
Shu Wan had set out from Beijing in a thin silk maxi dress.
Having never been abroad before, she was not sensitive to changes in temperature.
And so, Shu Wan declined the long coat offered by the staff mber and stepped off the plane directly.
The mont she exited the cabin door, a gust of cool air blew her way, and her vision was suddenly obscured by her hair, which also got caught on her earrings.
Shu Wan brushed the hair from her face, and attempted to untangle the strands from her earring, but the design was sowhat intricate.
Unable to see it herself, she tentatively pulled at it a few tis.
Her ear felt a tinge of pain, but the hair remained firmly wrapped around the earring.
Shu Wan frowned slightly, about to turn around to seek help from a staff mber, when a deep, magnetic voice suddenly ca from in front of her, “If you don’t mind, let help you with that.”
Shu Wan suddenly looked up, and only then did she realize that Fu Siyu had approached her while she was preoccupied with her earring.
In her life, Shu Wan had seen countless talented and handso n, but seeing Fu Siyu now, she reflexively paused, a clear look of amazent flitting across her eyes.
The two had already video chatted before, and Shu Wan naturally knew that Fu Siyu was handso.
But a video call could only capture a fraction of one’s physiognomy, hardly comparable to the person in the flesh.
Fu Siyu was very tall, at least 188 centiters by her estimate, dressed in a black suit and wearing a dark blue wool coat over it.
His entire figure was tall and straight, statuesque and clear-cut.
His features were extrely handso, a traditionally refined and handso face, resembling a long and enduring landscape painting, rich in flavor and depth.
However, what people would first submit to was not his looks, but rather the air of authority on him, a deanor characteristic of soone long accustod to being in a high position.
In his eyes seed to be a vast ocean, endless at a glance, where one could sink into an abyss if they were to fall in.
“Nice to et you,” Shu Wan said, regaining her composure after a mont of distraction, offering her hand to Fu Siyu in a relaxed and free manner.
“Hello,” Shu Wan’s montary distraction did not escape Fu Siyu’s eyes.
His gaze shifted slightly, a hint of a smile almost imperceptibly playing at the corners of his eyes.
He also stretched out his hand, clasping Shu Wan’s.
Shu Wan, lightly dressed, had cold hands, and when Fu Siyu grasped them, she felt the warmth from his palms seeping into her cool skin and into the flesh and blood beneath.
The warmth was fleeting, and in the instant that Fu Siyu withdrew his hand, Shu Wan even felt a faint wistfulness.
But soon, that wistfulness was replaced by surprise.
For Fu Siyu took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
The previously faint scent of sandalwood that hovered at the tip of her nose now enveloped her completely, accompanied by the warmth from the coat, which belonged to Fu Siyu.
It was warm and comforting, instantly dispelling the chill of her body.
“I—”
“Your earring is tangled, let help you with that,” Fu Siyu spoke before Shu Wan could say a word.
“Ah, okay.” Fu Siyu was being very friendly, and naturally, Shu Wan would not resist his kindness.
She tilted her head slightly, “This side.”
In the midst of the gloomy sky, that stretch of pale neck and the delicate, refined ear stood out, instantly making everything around them pale in comparison.
