Chapter 131 - Tender Warmth
Chapter 131: Tender Warmth
Tonight, Jiang Huai was suffering from insomnia again.
He should have been very tired, considering he had spent the entire previous night with Luo Qingyu, and he hadn’t rested well during the day either. But as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Chu Xianning’s eyebrows and eyes would appear.
He tossed and turned in bed for quite a while without falling asleep. Eventually, he sat up and decided to refine the ending of “The Melody of Warm Jade” one more time, making it fully sweet and without any angst, bringing the story to a satisfying conclusion.
When Jiang Huai leaned back in his chair, intending to take a short nap, he realized that it was already dawn.
Since it was already light out, he thought he might as well prepare breakfast. Jiang Huai first took the completed script to the Tianxuan Sect’s Ziyun Pavilion. After spending a few spirit stones, the script would be delivered to Ziyun Pavilion.
He wasn’t worried about Ziyun Pavilion leaking his secret; after so many years of collaboration, his identity as Ah Mumu had always been well concealed.
Returning to his courtyard, he remembered that he had soaked soybeans the night before, perfect for making soy milk. He added a few red dates and longans, with just a touch of sugar to make it slightly sweet but not cloying, and also made some glutinous rice cakes.
After everything was ready, he waited in the courtyard for Chu Xianning to wake up. She emerged from her room at her usual time, but today she was not in a white dress but a white Taoist robe that concealed her figure.
Jiang Huai didn’t really mind what Chu Xianning wore; she looked good in anything. The more she wore the Taoist robe, the more she exuded an abstinent and icy aura, which always inexplicably made his heart itch.
Chu Xianning sat down opposite him and soon noticed the glutinous rice cakes on the table. After a moment, she seemed to remember something and said indifferently,
“Luo Yueguan really likes to eat these.”
