When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1122 Shengnan 54
"Let's go now, brewing the medicine will take time." Jin Jue glanced at his watch and gestured for Jiang Shengnan to leave.

Jiang Shengnan asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to talk to Old Zheng a little more?"

Jin Jue's expression remained unchanged: "Let's do it another day. Taking care of your health first is the most important thing."

Jiang Shengnan looked up at him: "Why do I feel like you don't seem very happy?"

Jin Jue lowered her eyes: "No, I'm quite happy."

Jiang Shengnan lazily got up and walked out: "There's no smile in your eyes, and your lips are tighter than usual, but if you say there isn't, then there isn't."

She had only taken a couple of steps when Jin Jue grabbed her wrist. He held her wrist and said in a low voice, "I am indeed a little unhappy. Old Master Zheng wants to introduce his grandson to you."

He has three grandsons, all of whom are single.

Jiang Shengnan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly found it particularly amusing, "Are you... jealous or unhappy?"

“Yes, I am,” Jin Jue said, taking Jiang Shengnan’s hand and leading her out. “I’m not happy that Old Zheng doesn’t think highly of me, and I’m even more unhappy that I don’t even have the right to be jealous.”

Jiang Shengnan lowered her eyelids, staring at Jin Jue's right hand for several moments before looking away. She wouldn't be easily swayed by a man's words. She knew what Jin Jue wanted, but she really wasn't interested right now.

Because decocting the medicine takes time, Jin Jue cleverly tricked Jiang Shengnan into going to see a movie. He originally wanted to invite Jiang Shengnan for tea, but since she needed to start taking traditional Chinese medicine, she had to give up tea.

On a non-rest day, the cinema was not crowded, with fewer than ten people in the entire theater, making Jiang Shengnan feel as if she had the whole place to herself.

At first, Jiang Shengnan would occasionally twitch her lips or exchange a few words with Jin Jue, depending on the plot. Smelling the lingering woody scent, Jiang Shengnan gradually felt sleepy and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Noticing the person beside him breathe more evenly, and feeling a weight on his shoulder, Jin Jue turned his head and found that Jiang Shengnan had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Perhaps because his shoulder was uncomfortable, Jiang Shengnan rubbed her cheek against his shoulder, and then slept soundly with his arm around her.

Jin Jue looked down at Jiang Shengnan, her left hand gently stroking her cheek with extreme restraint. She never got this close to Jiang Shengnan when she was awake; she could only see this side of Jiang Shengnan when she was asleep.

Jiang Shengnan felt that she slept very soundly. The scent of wood was deep and rich, and the warm pillow in her arms made her feel as if she were in a heater, warm and cozy, as if the chill in her body had been dispelled.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shengnan breathed a satisfied sigh of relief, rubbed her cheek against the pillow again, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

Wait a minute, a cushion? Warm? And bouncy? Jiang Shengnan suddenly snapped back to reality. She remembered that she had come to see a movie with Jin Jue. How did this turn to a cushion? She suddenly opened her eyes and became instantly awake.

But seeing her current state, Jiang Shengnan wished she had never woken up. Her entire upper body was pressed against Jin Jue's chest, and her right hand...

Jiang Shengnan subconsciously pressed down, but suddenly her right hand was held down. Like a cat whose neck was being pinched, Jiang Shengnan stared at Jin Jue with wide, bright eyes.

She jerked her head back, trying to pull away from Jin Jue's embrace, but his grip on her lower back was firmly planted in her arms. Jiang Shengnan realized then that she was almost completely enveloped in his embrace. So, that warmth was from Jin Jue's embrace? Jiang Shengnan thought inappropriately.

Jin Jue's voice was a little hoarse: "Does it feel good to touch?"

Jiang Shengnan was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. "I didn't mean to. I was just too sleepy and accidentally fell asleep. I thought it was a pillow." "I know, I'm not blaming you," Jin Jue took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil. He let go of her hand, and Jiang Shengnan hurriedly pulled her right hand out of Jin Jue's shirt, but she refused to look at him no matter what.

After Jiang Shengnan was fully seated, Jin Jue withdrew his right arm from hers and moved it to relieve the soreness and numbness. Jiang Shengnan hesitated for a moment, but still let Jin Jue massage her for a few minutes; she was atoning for her mistake.

Just thinking about being held by Jin Jue just now... Jiang Shengnan's face involuntarily turned red. Her eyes quickly glanced at Jin Jue's abdomen; she thought she had just touched his abs?

"Is the movie over?" Jiang Shengnan asked, trying to find a topic of conversation while massaging Jin Jue's arm.

"Hmm, it's been almost half an hour since we finished." Jin Jue checked his watch. "I was hesitating whether to wake you up, since it's almost lunchtime, but I didn't expect you to wake up suddenly."

Jiang Shengnan asked with some regret, "What was that movie about?"

Jin Jue was helpless. He was so focused on watching Jiang Shengnan's sleeping face that he didn't pay any attention to what the movie was about. But could he say that? Could he say that he had taken advantage of Jiang Shengnan's sleep to pull her into his arms? Of course not.

"I don't know, I fell asleep later."

Jiang Shengnan couldn't help but laugh, revealing her dimples: "So we came to sleep in the movie theater?"

Upon seeing Jiang Shengnan's smile again, Jin Jue couldn't resist touching the dimple on her left cheek. Jiang Shengnan was taken aback by this sudden gesture of intimacy, then stood up to cover it up: "Um... we should go out now."

Jin Jue was taken aback. When he saw the other person's delicate pink ears, he couldn't help but smile slightly. It seemed that there was still hope after all. He followed Jiang Shengnan out of the cinema.

After leaving the movie theater and picking up the traditional Chinese medicine, Jiang Shengnan took a deep breath: "Let me treat you to dinner. I always say I'll treat you to dinner, but there's always an unexpected situation."

Jin Jue thought about the last time Jiang Shengnan invited her to dinner, and she fell asleep in the private room. Then she thought about today, when they went to see a movie together, and she fell asleep halfway through.

She usually doesn't sleep well, but these last two times, because of me, she slept very soundly. Could I be some kind of sleep aid? Or maybe Abebe?

Suppressing this suspicion, Jin Jue walked beside Jiang Shengnan: "This is a wonderful surprise. What would you like for dinner?"

Jiang Shengnan didn't look at Jin Jue: "I promised to treat you to dinner, what would you like to eat?"

Jin Jue smiled and said, "Then let's go eat Huaiyang cuisine? I know a private restaurant that serves very authentic Huaiyang dishes."

“Okay,” Jiang Shengnan said, no longer embarrassed as the other person didn’t bring it up. Thinking of the woody scent she’d smelled before bed, Jiang Shengnan tentatively asked, “What kind of perfume do you usually wear? It smells like wood to me.”

"It seems to help me sleep."

Jin Jue tapped his fingers on the steering wheel: "Personalized customization, I'll send you a bottle later."

Jiang Shengnan was eager to get a good night's sleep, so she didn't refuse this time: "Okay, thank you very much."
