Chapter 783: 364 Medication (Second Update)

He had already tied the bracelet on her wrist, yet the hand Xiao Liulang used to hold her wrist never let go.

Her graceful wrist fell into his palm, tender in a way that was unfathomable, making one yearn to gently squeeze it.

This slender, white wrist that was as soft as snow ignited a flame in his chest, making his blood surge.If it had been a year ago, Xiao Liulang would have definitely let go at once, but now, he couldn’t.

He had never experienced such things, and never visited places that he should not, but occasionally Fen Lin would bring up topics meant for men’s discussions in his and Lin Chengye’s presence.

He knew that it’s normal for a man to have such thoughts, but he wasn’t sure whether his feelings for her were only due to his manly instincts, or because he really had feelings for her—

"Is it pretty?" Gu Jiao tilted her head and looked at him.

Caught off guard by his gaze, Xiao Liulang felt a brief panic as if his thoughts were being exposed. His throat tightened and he quickly let go of her hand, "It’s pretty!"

Gu Jiao raised her left wrist and gently played with the small jade on the red string with her right hand: "I think it’s pretty too!"

Seeing her genuine enjoyment, the corner of Xiao Liulang’s mouth tugged into an unconscious smile.

Then Xiao Liulang saw her turning around and packing up a table full of jewelry into a box. Any one of those pieces of jewelry was more valuable than the red string, yet she only wore the one he gave her.

In Xiao Liulang’s eyes flashed a moment of emotion that he himself didn’t notice.

When Gu Jiao closed the box and pulled open the cabinet door, intending to put it in the highest drawer, she found herself too short to reach.

Xiao Liulang came over intending to help her, but to his surprise, she hopped up much to her delight and placed the box up herself.

Only after did she see Xiao Liulang’s hand hanging in mid-air, she bounced up and knocked the box down: "Oops, I didn’t secure it properly!"

Xiao Liulang: "..."

Xiao Liulang placed the box back in its place.

Being tall with long arms, he effortlessly placed the box deep within the drawer.

What Xiao Liulang didn’t realise was that while Gu Jiao watched him do all this, her heart fluttered as well.

She clearly remembered that when he had first moved to Bishui Alley, he couldn’t reach up there and he was just an immature young man.

But in that brief moment, she had unmistakably sensed the charm and aura of a grown man.

Not only did Xiao Liulang think so, but Gu Jiao also realized deeply that the ’wolf cub’ she had brought back had grown up.

The bed in the west room was still not fixed, so Xiao Liulang continued to sleep in the east room for the night.

Gu Jiao was still able to fall asleep with just a pillow while Xiao Liulang wasn’t falling asleep so quickly. He laid next to Gu Jiao and was calculating interest rates in his head.
