She couldn’t say that she had actually been watching from the side for a long time. If Si Qingyu didn’t return soon, the master might have come down the mountain to look for her, and then she would definitely be blamed as well.

Hearing this, Si Qingyu nodded with relief and sighed: “Then I’ll leave it to you, thank you.” She nodded gratefully to Qingmo and quickened her pace to hurry home.

Qingmo coldly watched her back disappear around the corner, lowered her head to look at the young man in her arms, a rare hint of impatience appearing between her brows. She clicked her tongue coldly, gripped the young man’s collar with one hand, and vanished from the spot.

On her way back, Si Qingyu relied on the moonlight to illuminate the path. Although she still got scratched by some tree branches while going up the mountain, it was still better than stumbling back in complete darkness.

As she approached the bamboo house, in the fading moonlight, Si Qingyu saw a tall figure waiting outside the courtyard. He stood there motionless, only the dark hair on his forehead swaying in the night breeze.

The light was dim and the distance was far, so Si Qingyu couldn’t see the expression on his face clearly, but she could feel his gaze on her.

She quickened her steps, walked up to him, and took his cold hand: “Why are you standing outside? It’s cooler out here, let’s go inside.” With that, she pulled his hand and walked into the courtyard.

Luo Shaoxuan let her hold his hand, his beautiful eyes looking at her coolly, not saying a word.

Si Qingyu knew he was angry and rubbed his fingers in an attempt to appease him, but he suddenly shook her off.

The man’s tall figure walked in front of her, his back exuding a cold indifference in the moonlight.

Si Qingyu opened her mouth, standing there somewhat helplessly.

The figure in front stopped, slightly glancing back at her, his voice carrying a hint of coolness: “What are you standing there for.” With that, he ignored her and walked into the bedroom alone.

Sigh… Si Qingyu couldn’t help but smack her own forehead. How could she forget even something like this? Now that he was angry, how should she coax him?

“What are you still standing there for.” Luo Shaoxuan’s voice came from the bedroom.

“Alright, I’m coming!”

Chapter 54: Trying to Please (Continued)

Despite feeling a bit apprehensive, Si Qingyu still walked in. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw the tea table filled with dishes, with two empty bowls placed on the side, clearly unused as they had been waiting for her return.

She sat down beside Luo Shaoxuan, about to say something, but he spoke first, his voice pleasant yet carrying a hint of coldness: “Do you remember what you promised me before you left?”

“I remember…”

“Then why are you so late?”

Si Qingyu sighed inwardly, she could only blame herself: “Shaoxuan… I’m sorry, I got caught up at the clinic and lost track of time.” She didn’t mention Li Tianyang’s matter to avoid any unnecessary thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shaoxuan’s face remained cold.

She picked up the empty bowl in front of him, trying to appease him, about to add rice for him, but heard his icy voice again: “The food has already gone cold.”

He had prepared the meal early, even reheating it once in the middle, yet he kept waiting for her without seeing her return.

“Then I’ll go reheat it.” Saying that, Si Qingyu quickly carried the dishes one by one into the kitchen.

Luo Shaoxuan sat on the side the entire time, his face indifferent as he watched her busy back and forth.

Si Qingyu reheated the food, filled his bowl with rice, helped him pick dishes, and spent the whole meal revolving around him, just wanting him to let go of his anger soon.

Luo Shaoxuan didn’t reject her attentiveness, but still remained aloof, not giving her a good face.

When Si Qingyu finished washing the bowls and chopsticks and returned to the room, she saw Luo Shaoxuan had already changed into his inner robe, sitting on the edge of the bed, his dark hair cascading over his body, the exquisite collarbones at his neckline fully exposed. He gently stroked the hair in front of him with his jade-like hand. Hearing her footsteps, he only gave her a cold glance.

Si Qingyu hesitated at the door for a moment before walking over and sitting beside him.

Luo Shaoxuan coldly turned his body to the side, his back facing her.

“Shaoxuan, it’s my fault, can you not be angry anymore?” Si Qingyu tentatively placed her slender hand on his shoulder, but he shook it off.

Luo Shaoxuan lifted the silk quilt, lying down on the inner side, leaving her with his cold back.

Si Qingyu pressed her lips together, looking at the person inside the bed, feeling a bit discouraged. She really didn’t know how to coax him.

She propped herself up on the bed with one hand, reached in to touch his hair, her voice gentle: “I definitely won’t do this again next time, don’t be angry anymore…” She paused, “It’s not good for your stomach right after eating.”

With that, her hand was fiercely shaken off again.

Si Qingyu held her slightly numb wrist, stood up, and looked at the man’s cold back with a discouraged face.

Lying on his side facing the inner side of the bed, Luo Shaoxuan’s cold eyes carried a hint of grievance. Hearing the sound of the door closing, he suddenly turned his head to look, the person in the room had already left.

She got impatient so quickly?

His heart ached, his hands tightly gripping the silk quilt, his eyes instantly seemed to be shrouded in a dark aura, a flash of scarlet passing through his pupils, his whole body exuding a strong murderous aura.

Luo Shaoxuan suddenly lifted the silk quilt, got out of bed without even putting on shoes, his jade-like feet bare, about to go out and look for her, but his movements slightly paused as he opened the door.

With bare feet, he walked back to the bed, lay down facing inward, and covered himself with the quilt.

Si Qingyu came in carrying a basin of hot water. Seeing the person on the bed still like that, she brought the hot water to the bedside and put it down. She sat on the edge of the bed, gently touching his cheek with the back of her hand: “Shaoxuan, get up and wash your feet first, then sleep after you’re done.”

She thought the person on the bed wouldn’t pay attention to her, but saw Luo Shaoxuan turn his face, staring at her intently.

Si Qingyu felt a bit frightened by his gaze, her smile stiffening: “Wh-what’s wrong?”

Luo Shaoxuan sat up from the bed, moving a bit closer to her, his voice still carrying a hint of coolness: “Don’t let there be a next time.”

This meant he had forgiven her. Si Qingyu happily smiled: “Alright, there won’t be a next time.”

She rarely smiled so brilliantly. Luo Shaoxuan pressed his lips together, suppressing the upward curve of his lips, moving even closer to her, reaching out his hand and pulling her onto the bed.

“Wait, I haven’t taken off my shoes yet…” Before she could finish, her lips were enveloped.

Luo Shaoxuan’s beautiful eyes were hazy, one hand pressed on the back of her head, the other tightly embracing her waist, his tongue wantonly exploring her mouth.

Having just managed to coax him, Si Qingyu naturally wouldn’t refuse his intimacy and tried her best to reciprocate.

It’s just that the hot water was heated for nothing.
