Da Li Temple - Chapter 19.2

Chapter 19.2
Sweet Soup

That piece of ice in his chest melted, and her one smile and sentence removed the depressing air and irritability that haunted him all morning easily. Seeing Su Moyi did not get angry again, Lin Wanqing hurried to strike when the iron was hot. She put the food box on his desk, took out the chilled lychee soup inside, and said: “My lord if you don’t like to eat, you can secretly dump it. You don’t have to let a little girl go back in failure.”
??
After Su Moyi recovered a bit of clarity, he calmly sat back again, reading the official documents while saying: “Lin Recorder loves to care about other people’s business.”
??
“Of course.” Lin Wanqing followed his words, “If I didn’t love to meddle in other people’s business, Lord wouldn’t have let me come to this Da Li Temple.”
??
Su Moyi didn’t retort again but still tilted his arrogant chin. His eyes fell on the official documents, not moving a single point for a long time.
??
Lin Wanqing handed the soup to his eyes, full of regret, “Look, my lord, it’s made from fresh lychee! Lingnan’s first batch of fresh lychee! At this time of the year, it was priceless! It’s best to relieve the summer heat. So pity to dump it like this.”
??
Hearing her say this, Su Moyi suddenly remembered Lin Wanqing’s face in the carriage was hot and red, but she said she was not. Then, with a few points of mocking tone said, “If you like it, you can drink it yourself.”
??
Lin Wanqing was stunned, picked up the porcelain spoon, sat on a short couch next to the bookcase, and ate it before Su Moyi. The lychees were white and smooth, the ice was refreshing, and the sugar level was appropriate. She really doesn’t know what this dog official is fussing about.
??
The way she ate was adorable. Her moist lips gently rested on the edge of the porcelain spoon, and her expression was focused and mesmerized. When eating happily, she would slightly close her eyes before letting out a long sigh of admiration between her nostrils. Her feet would also spontaneously swing from side to side, and she would stick out her small pink tongue, licking a circle on the lips unhurriedly.

Su Moyi’s vision froze, suddenly remembering that night. That person underneath him also had such a lilac tongue. When he contained that tongue between his lips and teeth, it would tremble slightly because of shyness. In the depths of passion, it would move back and forth on his shoulder, yet afraid to bite him. Su Moyi’s mind went blank, feeling that little tongue lick on his heart, making it itchy. That kind of itch caused the heartbeat to pause for a breath. Then, the boiling blood came downward to a place between the abdomen and the femur. The official robe that was supposed to be obediently straight had now raised and stretched out a large tent under the desk.
??
“……” Even Lord Su, who had been through countless crime scenes, was suddenly at a loss for words and could not wait to slap himself in the face. He must have been seduced by the demon girl that night. Otherwise, how could he have these inexplicable thoughts about Lin Wanqing?
??
Although she was really —
No, he couldn’t think about it anymore.
??
Su Moyi roughly stopped his disorganized thoughts, and without a word, he got up and rushed straight toward the entrance of the study room.
??
Lin Wanqing, concentrating on drinking the chilled lychee soup, almost choked by this sudden noise. She only saw Lord Su, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, fleeing in a strange position from behind the desk, almost in a sorry state.
??
Lin Wanqing was afraid that something serious had happened. Without putting down the bowl in her hand, she followed and chased after him. However, she saw that Lord Su, who has always been calm despite the crumbling of the mountains, had hurried out of the study room just to — to go to the bathroom?
??
Clank — a sound.
The loudness of that water splash sounded like someone had drenched himself in a bucket directly from the head —

Lin Wanqing froze. On the other side, the little maid, who had been waiting outside, also had a puzzled look on her face, walking over to ask carefully, fearing that it was because of her bowl of soup that had displeased Lord Su.
??
Only then did Lin Wanqing remember that she had just gone to persuade Su Moyi, but as a result, she was provoked by his words and drank up the soup. She looked at the little maid and didn’t know what to say for a moment. She could only smile awkwardly at her, hand over the empty bowl and food box in her hand, and disappear.
??
In the evening, the little maid held the food box and happily returned to Cheng Huan Hall to resume her duties. Wei Shu looked at the empty bowl and was momentarily surprised. Because the Empress Dowager had said that Su Moyi was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. She will hit the wall at first but must persist, touching out his pity. Therefore, Wei Shu didn’t hope much for this first contact. But now, it got an unexpected result.
??
“This soup …… are you sure that Lord Su received it?” Wei Shu asked with a blank look on her face.
??
The little maid nodded like pounding garlic, “At first, Lord Su did not accept it, but the Recorder beside him was very nice and helped me bring this soup in.”
??
“Recorder?” Wei Shu raised her head, her eyes were puzzled, “What was the name?”
??
“I don’t know what he’s called, but I heard everyone call her Lin Recorder.”
??
“Recorder Lin ……,” Wei Shu unconsciously mumbled these words and abruptly opened her eyes.
??
Even the Empress Dowager couldn’t talk to Su Moyi, but this Lin Recorder could persuade her. In that case, she must be very much in Su Moyi’s trust. Su Moyi doesn’t love money, power, or lust, but that doesn’t mean the people around him don’t. Perhaps she could win this person over, and it might be easier for her to approach Su Moyi.
??
A bright smile unfolded on Wei Shu’s face. It seemed that she could have someone go to the Ministry of Officials to check up on this Lin Recorder. It would be good if she could get in touch with him first.
