Gu Shishi was in a Sailor Moon sleepwear, her smooth and delicate calves exposed. On her feet was a pair of pink fuzzy slippers, making her toes looked pink and delicate. Even her toe nails were radiating a tender glow.
Her black hair cascaded down behind her like a waterfall.
It was already fall.
And she was still running around bare feet in a skirt.
Huo Sishen frowned slightly.
Even though the temperature indoor was controlled but one must still be careful not to get sick when the seasons changed.
Had she gone inside the garden dressed like this, she would probably get ill.
“Didn’t Aunty Lin prepare long sleeves and pants for you?”
He didn’t sound very happy.
Aunty Lin has not been doing a very good job.
As soon as he finished talking and before the girl had responded to him, he felt a body, soft, warm and delicate like that of a little dove, had flown inside of his chest.
Huo Sishen’s cold face… was at loss all of a sudden.
His deep, black eyes were shocked as though they hadn’t comprehended what had just happened.
When he came to, the girl already had her arms around his waist.
Her hands, soft like they were boneless, were placed on the back of his waist and they were tugging slightly at his robe.
Her body seemed to be trembling slightly.
“What happened?”
Even Huo Sishen’s voice sounded very forced.
Gu Shishi blinked and gritted her teeth. She buried her flushed cheeks in his chest and refused to let him see her look right now no matter what.
“I, I…”
Gu Shishi’s voice quivered.
It wasn’t easy.
At this moment in time, she had a lot of respect for Gu Wushuang.
She was so delicate, she could cry whenever, whine whenever, and always delicate like a little white flower in the wind. Pretending to be like that all the time required a lot of skills!
It wasn’t like she had any options. It was now or never!
Forced by the system, she must go all the way!
So what if she gave her future husband a hug to get rid of her double chin??
Having convinced herself, she took a deep breath. Unable to squeeze out some tears, she made her shoulders quiver again.
“I… am afraid of the thunders.”
Huo Sishen was taken aback a little. He was just about to stay to have Aunty Lin stay with her before her delicate arms wrapped around him tighter.
Suddenly, his throat tightened, his chest congested, and he wasn’t able to say a word.
“When I was scared in the past, my master… would pat me.”
Huo Sishen frowned.
The girl’s voice, quivering like that of an oriole, destroyed his rationality like it was a weapon.
After pausing for a little bit, he raised his hand and patted the girl on her back clumsily.
Gu Shishi’s shoulders shuddered again.
His placed his large hands on her shoulders reflexively.
As though he was wooing a child, he stroked her a couple times, before he patted her some more.
Gu Shishi seemed to be shivering even more now…
Huo Sishen’s dark eyes dimmed a little and he reached his arm around her shoulder to hold her.
“I’m here.
“Don’t be afraid.”
His magnetic voice was deeper and more tender than it had ever been.
He was like a sturdy monolith that was unmoved by any sort of wind or rain and would even protect the little grass that grew slowly from under it.
Gu Shishi let out a sigh of relief immediately.
There was goosebumps on the back of her neck, warm and itchy.
Her heart was pounding madly in her chest.
Oh boy, with the boss being so tender, even she couldn’t resist him!
The dang system!
This was doing as much damage to her as it did to him!
Shivering, Gu Shishi cussed the system out.
Huo Sishen did not noticed anything abnormal about her and genuinely believed that she was frightened.
He was worried about her all over again.
For a city that was near the coast, the thunders wouldn’t be stopping anytime soon.
He couldn’t help but frowned.
“We can have kitchen prepare you a bowl of soup.”
Having something warm could help calm her.
She always loved eating and drinking.
She would sit at the dinner table for an hour if she could and still didn’t want to leave.
He hasn’t even taken a step yet and the “ornament” dangling from him moved.
“Oh….” Gu Shishi responded to him softly.
A soft and fragrant breath hit him on his chest.
