I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 87
byChapter 87 Ajin delivers food
The gilded sunlight slants through the glass curtain wall of Jingyi Law Firm, casting mottled light and shadow on the smooth marble floor.
Xie Shuhan stepped on the spot and appeared at the door of the law firm on time.
He raised his hand to straighten the collar of his ironed suit. The cuffs revealed a section of his white wrist, and the hands of the watch on his wrist were accurately stuck on the hour.
The little girl at the front desk was lowering her head to sort out the visitor register. When she heard footsteps and looked up, she saw Xie Shuhan standing at the entrance. Her eyes lit up and she quickly smiled and said hello: “Lawyer Xie, good morning.”
“Good morning.” Xie Shuhan nodded slightly, his voice as clear as the morning wind, but the end of it was unconsciously tinged with an imperceptible hoarseness.
He walked briskly past the front desk and headed straight for the elevator, his tall back drawing neat lines in the morning light.
The little girl at the front desk looked at his back and couldn’t help holding her chin and muttering: “Strange, Lawyer Xie seems a little different today?”
She scratched her head, and she felt that the tips of Lawyer Xie’s ears seemed to be a little red, and even the cold energy that usually kept people away from thousands of miles away became a bit softer.
Xie Shuhan’s office was on the fifth floor of the law firm. The moment he opened the door, he put his briefcase on the corner of his desk, casually pulled his tie and loosened his collar.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are row upon row of tall buildings, and the busy streets shrink into flowing points of light in front of my eyes.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the chaotic thoughts, and reached out from the filing cabinet to pull out the files to be processed today.
The terms and conditions written in black and white on the paper were densely packed. It should have been the area he was most familiar with, but when his eyes fell on it, he couldn’t focus on it.
It was as if a loop play button had been pressed in my mind, and the scene in my bedroom in the early morning played over and over again.
The soft top of Lu Jin’s hair buried under the quilt, the shiver when his warm breath brushed his lower abdomen, and the man’s low and hoarse murmur, each sound seemed to have a hook, tickling the tip of his heart.
Xie Shuhan’s fingertips tightened slightly, causing wrinkles to appear on the corners of the file.
He closed his eyes, his Adam’s apple rolled unconsciously, and the temperature at the tips of his ears rose a few points.
The end of his eyes seemed to have been soaked in warm water, with a faint red color, and even his breathing was irregular.
“Calm down.” Xie Shuhan whispered to himself, raising his hand to press the twitching sun.
He forced himself to focus on the dossier, reading line by line, and his fingertips ran across the legal provisions. The cold breath of ink gradually dissipated some of the heat in his mind.
Time passed by minute by second, and when he was finally immersed in the details of the case, the sun outside the window had quietly climbed to the sky.
At around 12 noon, the office’s internal phone rang suddenly, interrupting Xie Shuhan’s thoughts.
He raised his hand to pick it up, and from the receiver came the somewhat excited voice of the little girl at the front desk: “Lawyer Xie, there is a man outside who claims to be your husband looking for you. He is super handsome!”
The word “husband” is like a pebble thrown into Xie Shuhan’s heart, causing ripples in circles.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. A smile appeared on his lips unconsciously, and his voice became much softer: “Let him come in.”
“Okay!” The little girl at the front desk responded crisply. After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t wait to look at the man standing in the center of the hall.
The man was wearing a well-tailored black casual suit, his silver hair shone in the sunlight, his eyebrows were raised, his nose was high, and he had a lazy smile on his lips. He was looking down at his mobile phone.
Hearing the voice, Lu Jin raised his head, his peach blossom eyes crinkling.
The little girl at the front desk blushed instantly and pointed to the direction of the elevator. She spoke a little faster: “Sir, go straight and take the elevator to the fifth floor. The third office on the left is Lawyer Xie’s.”
“Okay, thank you.” Lu Jin’s voice was low and sweet. He picked up the insulated lunch box at his feet and walked briskly towards the elevator.
The metal lunch box is heavy. Sweet and sour pork ribs are Xie Shuhan’s favorite, as well as stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of warm mushroom soup.
The elevator door opened slowly, and the corridor on the fifth floor was so quiet that you could hear your own footsteps.
Lu Jin followed the instructions and found the third office. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. The sound of his knuckles tapping on the wooden door was clear and sweet.
“Come in.”
A familiar voice came from inside the door, with a somewhat warm texture.
The smile on Lu Jin’s lips deepened. He opened the door and saw Xie Shuhan sitting behind his desk.
The man was wearing a white shirt, with the cuffs rolled up to his forearms, revealing his smooth wrists. He was looking up at him, and the coldness in his eyes was replaced by warmth.
“Wife!” Lu Jin lowered his voice, but couldn’t hide the excitement in his tone.
He closed the door behind his back, walked quickly to Xie Shuhan with his lunch box in hand, his eyes glued to him, as if he couldn’t get enough of him.
Xie Shuhan put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and looked at him helplessly and amusedly: “Ajin, why are you here?”
He reached out and took Lu Jin’s wrist, leading him to the small sofa in the corner of the office and sitting down.
The sun shines through the gaps in the blinds, casting a grid-like light and shadow on the sofa.
“I miss you.” Lu Jin said confidently. He put his lunch box on the coffee table, put his arms around Xie Shuhan’s waist, and rubbed his head in the crook of his neck, like a coquettish large dog.
Xie Shuhan was tickled by his rubbing, and reached out to push his shoulder, with a smile in his eyes: “We have only been separated for a few hours.”
“A few hours is long enough.” Lu Jin snorted, let go of him, and happily opened the lid of the insulated lunch box.
Instantly, the rich aroma of food filled the air. The sweet aroma of sweet and sour pork ribs mixed with the freshness of mushroom soup whet your appetite.
He quickly took out the bowls and chopsticks, arranged them neatly, and carefully wiped the corners of Xie Shuhan’s mouth with a paper towel, “Eat quickly, it’s still hot.”
Xie Shuhan looked at his busy figure, and his heart felt warm as if he had been soaked in warm water.
He stretched out his hand to hold Lu Jin’s wrist, rubbed his warm skin with his fingertips, and said softly: “A Jin, you are so kind.”
“Idiot wife.” Lu Jin bent down and pressed his forehead against his. His voice was so gentle that it could drip water. “You are my baby. If I don’t treat you well, who will treat me well?”
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks, picked out a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with an attractive color, and handed it to Xie Shuhan’s mouth, “Try it to see if it suits your taste.”
Xie Shuhan opened his mouth and bit into the ribs. The sweet and sour sauce melted on the tip of his tongue. The meat was soft and tasty, a taste he was familiar with.
He chewed and looked up at Lu Jin, his eyes full of smiles.
“Ajin, have you eaten?” Xie Shuhan asked after swallowing the food in his mouth.
“I ate it a long time ago.” Lu Jin reached out and pinched his cheek, feeling the delicate skin on his fingertips, and his eyes were full of love.
“Eat more quickly. Mom was still talking about you yesterday, saying that you have lost weight recently and asked me to keep an eye on you while you eat.”
Xie Shuhan nodded, obediently picked up the chopsticks, and ate the food one bite at a time.
Lu Jin sat aside, resting his elbows on his knees and supporting his chin with his palms, looking at him intently.
The sun fell on the side of Xie Shuhan’s face, outlining the soft outline. His long eyelashes drooped, casting a small shadow under his eyelids.
Lu Jin watched him eating, the sauce on his lips, and the tenderness in his eyes when he occasionally raised his eyes, and felt that his heart was filled to the brim.
