But for some reason, the towel always seemed to brush against the tip of his ear, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Huaiming felt uncomfortable, his mind was focused on the hair, and he lost control of his strength, pulling Fu Xiaoxiao's hair.
Fu Xiaoxiao looked like a bullied puppy, whimpering and looking at Su Huaiming with her big, watery eyes, complaining, "It hurts."
Su Huaiming then came to his senses and apologized repeatedly, "I'll definitely be gentler next time."
Fu Xiaoxiao nodded and sat up obediently again, letting Su Huaiming wipe his hair.
Fu Xiaoxiao was still immersed in the excitement of her close encounter with the dolphins and couldn't sit still. After her hair was basically dry, she immediately went to find her three friends.
Su Huaiming's hands were freed up as he tried to dry his hair, but Fu Jingfan sensed his intention and said, "Don't move, it'll be done soon."
Su Huaiming didn't know what was wrong with Fu Jingfan, and since he couldn't strongly object in front of the camera, he could only sit there stiffly and continue to cooperate.
Fu Jingfan seemed to be doing his job out of professional habit, diligently completing the task without any ulterior motives.
After Su Huaiming's hair was mostly dry, Fu Jingfan immediately took back the towel, but his fingers brushed against Su Huaiming's ear tip again.
Su Huaiming's hand, which was placed to the side, clenched into a fist involuntarily. He didn't move his body or show any unusual behavior.
But after the towel was removed, Su Huaiming's ear tips were red, and his skin was also covered with a faint blush.
His skin was so fair that the rosy blush was very noticeable.
Fu Jingfan put down the towel, feigning composure, but seemingly finding it strange, and asked, "Why is your face so red?"
Su Huaiming forced himself to remain calm and said, "It's a bit stuffy under the towel."
After saying that, he touched the tip of his ear with the back of his hand, trying to cool down the fever as quickly as possible.
Fu Jingfan said nothing, his expression natural, leaving no trace that would arouse Su Huaiming's suspicion.
Previously, Su Huaiming's view was blocked by the towel, so he didn't see Fu Jingfan's expression and missed some subtle movements, but the viewers in the live broadcast room did not.
[Tsk tsk tsk, President Fu really wants to be close to his wife all the time.]
[You two are a married couple, so why is Fu Jingfan behaving like a peacock in courtship, constantly displaying his plumage!]
[Yeah, it's really strange. President Fu is like an old beast who hasn't been a celibate for eight hundred years, constantly lusting after Su Huaiming's body. Could it be... he hasn't succeeded yet?!]
[... Fu Jingfan is definitely not suitable.]
[I suddenly understand Fu Jingfan. If I had such a beautiful wife who was so easy to bully, I wouldn't be able to control those wicked thoughts either.]
[Haha, I love it so much, give me more!!]
[These two didn't do anything special, yet it's more exciting than the couples on the dating reality show next door who're always sticking together and kissing!]
[It can only be said that Fu Jingfan single-handedly skewed the art style.]
Su Huaiming felt the room was too stuffy and wanted to go out for some fresh air.
He had just pushed open the door when he was stunned by the scene before him, his mind was completely captivated, and he couldn't help but walk forward.
It was closing time, and the lights in the venue were turned off.
At the very front of the venue, separated by a glass partition, beluga whales swam serenely and profoundly in a deep blue expanse.
A few rays of light filtered down from above, and the ripples of light through the glass reflected onto Su Huaiming's face, illuminating his clean and clear eyes.
Su Huaiming stood before the glass, appearing exceptionally small. On the other side, a beluga whale swam slowly, its deep and ancient sound seemingly emanating from the depths of the sea, carrying the breath of life.
He was captivated by this power, unable to look away, as if he too were immersed in a world of azure blue.
Fu Jingfan stood not far away, quietly watching Su Huaiming.
The traces of water flowed over his body, and he was enveloped in a deep blue light, like a piece of crystal-clear blue ice from the deep sea.
Fragile, easily broken, yet incredibly precious.
He was incredibly lucky to encounter something even more precious than a gemstone, and despite the immense difficulty of diving into the ocean, he was determined to hold this piece of blue ice close to his heart.
At this moment, Fu Jingfan suddenly understood those previously uncontrollable and incomprehensible actions—
He spent a lot of time and effort ensuring Su Huaiming maintained appropriate exercise...
Seeing that Su Huaiming was with someone else, he abandoned all his principles and chased after Su Huaiming...
He participated in the variety show without hesitation, enjoyed it, and has no regrets...
The closer they got, the stronger his desire became; he couldn't help but want to get closer, to touch skin to skin, to get more...
It's because the other party is Su Huaiming, and all actions are for Su Huaiming.
From childhood to adulthood, he has wanted very few things, but once he sets his mind on something, he will stop at nothing to firmly control what he wants and not allow anyone to covet it.
But this time, he subconsciously suppressed his burgeoning desire for control, concealing all his sharp edges and corners, moving with extreme caution, afraid of hurting Su Huaiming in the slightest.
Su Huaiming's desires were completely different from what he had wanted before.
More precious, more valued, more special.
To him, he was a unique individual.
Fu Jingfan looked at Su Huaiming's thin shoulders and back, took a step forward, and that touch of azure blue shone into his eyes, piercing through all the darkness and blackness, illuminating the small space in his heart.
Hearing footsteps, Su Huaiming turned to look at Fu Jingfan.
Fu Jingfan quietly watched his smile and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile as well.
Now, he finally understood.
It turns out that he had wanted Su Huaiming to stay by his side forever all this time.
Chapter 76
Su Huaiming was completely captivated by the profound and distant scene before him, and excitedly waved to Fu Jingfan, sharing with him, "Come and see!"
Fu Jingfan responded in a deep voice, then walked towards him. His steady footsteps blended with the flowing water, each step seeming to touch Su Huaiming's heart.
Su Huaiming froze for a few seconds, his eyes reflecting Fu Jingfan's figure. All other colors faded away, and all the light seemed to focus on Fu Jingfan.
"I saw it." Fu Jingfan stopped next to Su Huaiming, naturally reached out, and pinched his ear, his fingertips twirling it slightly, conveying a sense of intimacy.
Su Huaiming was completely stunned by this, looking at Fu Jingfan with a blank expression, wondering if he had taken the wrong medicine.
Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw a Little Black insect fly past him and immediately found the answer to Fu Jingfan's behavior.
It turns out there was a bug on the tip of his ear!
Su Huaiming also reached out and touched his ear, not taking the matter to heart.
The two stood side by side in front of the Beluga Whale Pavilion, gazing at the beluga whales amidst a dreamy azure sky.
For the first time, Su Huaiming felt the word "elegance" from animals. The way the beluga whale swam and the shape of the water flow conveyed an ancient elegance to him.
Standing in front of the Beluga Whale Pavilion, he had never felt so insignificant; in the deep sea, he was just a tiny speck of dust.
Only in the face of nature will people willingly submit; all their arrogance will be shattered, yet they will be able to piece themselves back together.
Su Huaiming's mind merged with the azure blue, forgetting the passage of time, until Ji Mingzhe couldn't find him and came out with the children to search for him.
Hearing the four children's chattering laughter, Su Huaiming's mind was pulled back, and the distant and profound feeling was gone.
Surrounded by four little ones, it didn't feel noisy at all.
Ancient is timeless and heavy, while innocent children are the opposite, being naive and energetic—both are beautiful.
Su Huaiming gave up his seat, and Ji Mingzhe walked to his side, smiling as he said, "I just opened the door and saw you and Fu Jingfan standing together. It was such a beautiful sight! You two are a match made in heaven!"
Su Huaiming was somewhat surprised, but after a few seconds, he nodded in agreement.
The scene just now was indeed beautiful, so much so that when Fu Jingfan walked towards him, it was as if he had special effects from an idol drama.
Ji Mingzhe, however, thought that Su Huaiming agreed that "he and Fu Jingfan are a good match," and as someone who had been through it all, he couldn't help but chuckle.
They seem to be a young couple still deeply in love, capable of sparking romance at any moment, and eager to announce their relationship to the world.
Su Huaiming snapped out of his daze and saw Ji Mingzhe's smile. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine and had a strange feeling.
"Brother Ji, what are you laughing at?" Su Huaiming asked.
Ji Mingzhe was afraid that Su Huaiming would be embarrassed, so he casually waved his hand and kindly kept quiet.
Su Huaiming didn't press the matter, so he could only look away and continue watching the beluga whales with the others.
Children's aesthetic sense has not yet been formed, they have too little experience, and their temperament is not deep enough, but they can appreciate the beauty of nature.
After watching for a while, everyone quieted down. Even Fu Xiaoxiao and Jameel, who were usually the most boisterous, didn't make any extra movements. They looked up with their fair and tender little faces, their clear and clean eyes reflecting the image of the beluga whale, completely focused.
After the children finished watching, Su Huaiming and his group left the Underwater World.
Fu Xiaoxiao held Su Huaiming's hand, looking reluctantly at the entrance behind her, and pouted sadly.
He shook Su Huaiming's finger and said, "Can I come here to play every year?"
Su Huaiming chuckled, "You come every year, don't you get bored?"
"It's not boring at all!" Fu Xiaoxiao said, emphasizing each word to express his seriousness.
Su Huaiming raised an eyebrow, seemingly remembering something, and said meaningfully, "Alright, but in a few years, when you come here again, you'll need to write travelogues and reflections."
"Travelogue and review?" Fu Xiaoxiao didn't understand and tilted her head in confusion.
Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan understood what Su Huaiming meant and burst out laughing, looking at the four children with schadenfreude, as if they could already see the day when they would be tormented by travelogues and reviews.
Fu Xiaoxiao didn't understand, but she could sensitively perceive the emotions of those around her. Seeing that Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan, the two adults, were behaving strangely, she couldn't help but frown.
Sun Siyuan, this magnified version of a brat, insisted on buying a sword and deliberately teased Fu Xiaoxiao: "The travelogue and review mean that after you're done here, you have to write one about what you saw. It can't be too short, you know."
After saying that, Sun Siyuan chuckled mischievously, "Think about it, you come here to play once, and then go back and have to sit at your desk for two hours, miserable, writing a review. Do you think it's worth it?"
Ji Mingzhe couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Sun Siyuan to Fu Xiaoxiao, "You don't need to write for two hours. Your Uncle Sun is just joking."
After saying Ji Mingzhe winked at Sun Siyuan, signaling him to quickly smooth things over. Sun Siyuan pretended not to see it, crossed his arms, and eagerly awaited Fu Xiaoxiao's reaction.
Fu Xiaoxiao held her small face up, pouting, her chubby cheeks furrowed tightly, her face squeezed into a square shape, making her look even more bitter and resentful.
Ji Mingzhe felt a headache coming on, and fearing that Fu Xiaoxiao would cry and make a fuss, he secretly nudged Su Huaiming's arm, urging him to think of a solution quickly.
With his father there, Su Huaiming didn't bother to think, so he gave Fu Jingfan a wink and directly pinned the task on him.
