Chapter 769 Su Wuming 68
Chu Huan responded muffledly in his arms, her tears soaking his clothes, as well as her own confusion and fear about the future.
Chu Hua raised her head from Su Wuming's arms, with tears still stained on her cheeks, a trace of grievance and relief. She sniffed, her voice still choking a little: "Su Su, will you blame me? Blame me... for hiding it from you for so long."
Su Wuming gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, saying in a doting tone, "Silly girl, how could I blame you? It doesn't matter where you come from or where you are going in the future. What matters is that we are together now, and that's enough."
After a pause, he looked at Chu Huan lovingly, "Huan Er, since we are already together, let's cherish the present, okay?"
Chu Hua nodded heavily, bursting into laughter. She held out her little finger and said playfully, "Then let's make a promise. We must cherish the present and never regret it!"
Su Wuming also stretched out his little finger and hooked it with hers, with a gentle smile on his face: "Okay, we'll make a pinky promise and never change it for ten thousand years!"
His thumb gently stroked Chu Hua's soft fingertips, and a barely perceptible greed flashed in his eyes.
After the pinky promise was made, Chu Hua suddenly thought of something, smiled slyly, took out a booklet from her bosom, and waved it in front of Su Wuming: "Su Su, this is for you!"
Su Wuming took the booklet curiously and opened it. He saw that it was filled with dense words and some strange pictures. He looked at Chu Huan in confusion: "Huan Er, what is this?"
Chu Hua smiled mysteriously: "This is our 'love manual', which teaches you how to fall in love and how to make girls happy! I see that you are not very good at this, so I prepared it specially for you!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Wuming's face. He indeed lacked experience in this area. His previous interactions with Chu Hua were also thanks to her initiative.
He coughed lightly and pretended to be calm and said, "Huan'er, do you dislike me?"
Chu Hua smiled and pinched his cheek: "How could that be? I'm doing this for your own good! Think about it, if you make me angry in the future, you can flip through this book and find a way to coax me, isn't that the best of both worlds?"
Su Wuming smiled helplessly. This girl was always quirky and unpredictable. However, he liked her like this, and liked the freshness and excitement she brought him. He carefully put the booklet away, and kept it close to his body, as if it were a rare treasure.
"Huan'er, don't worry, I will study this 'treasure book' carefully and strive to become a qualified 'significant other' as soon as possible!" Su Wuming vowed, his eyes full of seriousness and determination.
Chu Hua was amused by his serious look. She gently kissed him on the cheek: "I believe you, Su Su!"
Su Wuming was stunned for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.
The flickering candlelight illuminated Su Wuming's gentle face. He gently held Chu Huan in his arms, carefully protecting her as if she were a treasure.
Chu Huan's emotions fluctuated greatly, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. Su Wuming was worried that she would hurt her body, so he gently coaxed her to sleep.
"Huan'er, go to sleep if you are tired. I will always be with you." Su Wuming's voice was low and magnetic, as if it carried some kind of magic, which gradually calmed Chu Huan's originally chaotic thoughts.
Chu Huan snuggled in his warm embrace, listening to his steady heartbeat and feeling the faint sandalwood scent emanating from him, feeling a sense of security in her heart. She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a tired little bird that had finally found a harbor to rest.
Su Wuming patted her back gently and hummed an unknown tune. The tune was melodious and soothing, as if it came from the distant sky, with a hint of mystery and ethereality.
Chu Hua gradually fell asleep, with a sweet smile on her lips. Su Wuming looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and an indescribable tenderness surged in his heart.
He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, murmuring, "Go to sleep, my Huan'er, and have a sweet dream."
Su Wuming just held Chu Hua quietly until she was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly. He then carefully covered her with the quilt, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He was from the Tang Dynasty, and she was a time traveler from the future. Their meeting was like a beautiful accident. He had never thought that he would be so moved and concerned about a woman.
He knew that their future was full of unknowns, but he was not afraid because he believed that as long as they loved each other, they could overcome all difficulties.
Su Wuming returned to the bedside, gently held Chu Hua's hand, and felt the warmth of her palm. He silently swore in his heart that no matter what happened, he would guard her, protect her, and make her happy forever.
Su Wuming returned to his room. Moonlight poured in through the window, casting mottled shadows on the floor. He took off his outer robe, but he was not sleepy at all. His mind was filled with Chu Hua's smiles and frowns, sometimes her cunning eyes when they first met, and sometimes her peaceful appearance as she slept in his arms.
He walked to the table, poured a cup of cold tea and drank it all, still feeling upset. He took out the thin "Love Guide" from his arms and opened it in the moonlight.
There were a few words written crookedly on the title page - "Love Secrets, For Su Su Only". He couldn't help but chuckle. This girl was really clever.
Turning to the first page, it clearly said "Step 1: Cater to his preferences." Su Wuming couldn't help but frown. What kind of secret book is this?
"Catering to their tastes?" Su Wuming muttered in a low voice, his slender fingers gently stroking the paper, as if thinking about the deeper meaning of these four words.
He thought of Chu Huan's lively and lively appearance on weekdays, her love for strange gadgets, her love for listening to him tell stories of strange cases, and her love for eating osmanthus cake from the East Street of Chang'an City... Is this what is called "liking"?
He continued to look down, and the second page said "Step 2: Create romance." Su Wuming was even more confused. What is romance? He had never thought about this question.
Solving cases, reasoning, and upholding justice are all he wants in life. Romance is like a strange word to him, far away and untouchable.
He turned to the next page, "Step 3: Physical Contact."
When Su Wuming saw these words, his cheeks turned slightly red.
He recalled the several times he had touched Chu Hua carelessly, the brush of fingertips, the brush of shoulders, as well as Chu Hua's active hugs these days and the kiss that came out of passion. All of these made his heart beat faster, as if an electric current was flowing through his body. Is this what is called "physical contact"?
He closed the booklet, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. The contents of this "love guide" were like a brand new subject for him, full of challenges and unknowns. But he did not intend to back down, because he wanted to understand Chu Hua, wanted to make her happy, and wanted to be a qualified "other half".
Su Wuming did not sleep all night. He flipped through the "Love Manual" again and again, as if he was studying a profound ancient book. Sometimes he frowned in thought, sometimes he shook his head and chuckled, and sometimes his cheeks flushed, just like a young boy who had just begun to fall in love.
The next morning, when Chu Huan woke up, she immediately ran to Su Wuming's room next door and asked for a hug.
She found Su Wuming sitting at the table, holding the booklet in his hand, his eyes focused and a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Su Su, didn't you sleep all night?" Chu Hua rubbed her sleepy eyes, with a hint of concern in her tone.
When Su Wuming heard Chu Hua's voice, he quickly hid the booklet behind him, his eyes a little evasive, "No...no, I just...can't sleep, so I got up to read a book."
Chu Huan saw through his little trick at a glance. She walked to Su Wuming, snatched the booklet he hid behind him, opened it, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hey, Susu, you really studied my love manual seriously?"
Su Wuming's ears turned red when Chu Hua teased him: "I... I just... want to know..."
"Find out?" Chu Huan raised her eyebrows, her eyes moving with a hint of mischief.
"Know what? Know how to fall in love? Know how to please girls? Or know how to..." She paused deliberately, leaned close to Su Wuming, and whispered two words in his ear.
"Kiss?"
Su Wuming felt a surge of heat rushing to his forehead, and his ears, which were already red, were now redder and almost bleeding. He stepped back suddenly and almost knocked over the chair behind him.
"I...I didn't!" He denied in a panic, his eyes wandering, not daring to look directly into Chu Hua's teasing eyes. He felt like a primary school student caught by the teacher, so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Chu Hua looked at Su Wuming's bewildered look and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She walked up to Su Wuming, stretched out her hand and gently pinched his red earlobe, and said in a gentle tone with a hint of teasing: "Su Su, you don't have to be shy. It's normal to want to know these things. After all, you have never been in a relationship before, so it's normal not to understand these things."
Su Wuming was made even more at a loss by Chu Hua's sudden intimacy. He stood there like a wooden man, allowing Chu Hua to manipulate him.
"However," Chu Hua suddenly put away her smile and looked at Su Wuming seriously: "Although this book is given to you by me, the content of this love manual is actually not that important."
Su Wuming was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Hua in confusion.
Chu Hua smiled and explained, "In love, the most important thing is sincerity. You treat me well, and I treat you well, and that's enough. As for those romance and skills, they are just icing on the cake."
Su Wuming nodded as if he understood, but there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Su Wuming almost forgot the important matter. He was going to tell Huan'er yesterday that Lu Lingfeng wanted him to send Xijun back to Chang'an. But Huan'er was not in a good mood yesterday, and he himself was not in the mood.
