Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

When Yu Ru was awake, the call was still on, and when she picked it up, it showed that the call had lasted for an hour and a half. On the other side of the screen, Yun Jixing was sitting in front of the table, writing something with a brush, and writing very seriously.

Yu Ru patted the quilt, making a noise, and her movement attracted Yun Jixing.

"Aru, you're awake." Yun Jixing immediately put down his pen and reached for his phone. "How are you? Are you feeling unwell? Why did you sleep so late today?"

Yu Ru shook her head, set up her phone and started to sign, "I stayed up too late yesterday, so I feel very sleepy today."

In the days before the Chinese New Year, she received a big order with a price of two million. The project was simple and difficult at the same time. It was just to help the other company design a logo. But this logo is very important. Once used, it will become the company's unique logo, and all its products will have this logo. The scope of application is too large and the impact is too great, so it must be treated with extreme caution.

She has some fame in the industry, but given her status in the industry, it is impossible for her to be offered a salary of one million.

Thanks to her acquaintance with the founder of the other company and the introduction by an acquaintance, she was able to get such a top designer's price. I heard that he was originally planning to find a very famous foreign designer to do it, but the other party offered 4 million, which he thought was too expensive and he didn't like the other party's style, so he found her again.

She had to seize this opportunity and try to get all the two million. However, under such high pressure, it was difficult for her to come up with good ideas. She pondered for several days, and last night, she suddenly had a design inspiration. Worried that she would forget it the next day, she thought about writing down all the ideas that day, and she wrote until three in the morning.

"Aru, don't stay up late. It's bad for your health." Yun Jixing looked worried and said helplessly, "I'll transfer some shops to you in a while. Someone will take care of them. You'll just be responsible for collecting the money. Don't take so many work orders, okay? Have a good rest."

Yu Ru shook her head, "I'll do something else when I've made enough money in this business."

"Okay, Aru, you should try not to be so tired. If you run out of money, tell me."

Yu Ru nodded.

Yun Jixing asked more about her health and then discussed the engagement with her. No one except Ming Shisui knew about their current relationship, and Yu Ru didn't let him tell anyone, so he never told anyone.

He happened to be at the old house right now, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that all his relatives were here to discuss their marriage first, and prepare for the engagement right after the New Year.

"Aru, can I tell my family about our relationship? We'll get engaged after the Chinese New Year."

Yu Ru blinked but didn't react. She stared blankly at the screen of her mobile phone. She lay down on the quilt beside her, holding the frog doll beside her, and just stared at Yun Jixing.

After a long moment, she nodded.

"Okay." Yun Jixing smiled. "Aru, my parents don't care much about my relationship. I'm the one who makes the decisions. But my grandparents are stricter. They might ask about your situation. They might ask about your work, your family, and your health. They might also ask about your birth date, so they can tell our fortunes and see if we're a good match. If there's anything you don't want to reveal, tell me and I won't tell you."

Yu Ru stared at Yun Jixing without blinking, picking the doll's nose with her fingers, looking undecided.

Seeing her like this, Yun Jixing said again, "Aru, I won't answer anything you don't want me to answer. Anyway, no matter what, I want to be with you, and I will definitely be with you."

Yu Ru's mouth curled up slightly, and she sat up and signed, "No, just tell me the truth. I don't have anything shameful to show. I haven't told you much about myself. I'll send you an introduction later, take a look."

Yun Jixing nodded, "Okay, okay."

……

After the Chinese New Year, Yun Jixing told his grandparents and parents about his engagement with Yu Ru the day before returning to Jianshan Yunting.

Chi Qinghuai and Yun Bianzhi were more casual about their relationships. They let him choose his own feelings and he would just have to bear the consequences no matter what the outcome was. Xiang Huiyun and Yun Zhonghe were more serious about the matter. The two elders did not ask any further questions, but just said that they would invite an old immortal to their house in a few days to tell his marriage fortune and they would make a decision then.

Therefore, his return to Jianshan Yunting was delayed for a while.

A week later, he returned to Jianshan Yunting.

After putting his luggage away, he immediately went to find Yu Ru.

Previously, because Yu Ru lived with Ming Shisui, he didn't dare to go directly to her house to look for her, and usually asked her to go to his place, or meet her in the corridor. Yesterday, Yu Ru told him that Ming Shisui had moved to the new house, so he dared to go directly into the house to look for her.

When he went in, he didn't see anyone in the living room, so he went to the kitchen to check, but she wasn't there either, so he went to the study to look for her.

Yu Ru was in the study, painting according to the "Eighty-Seven Immortals Scroll" on her mobile phone. It was an extremely long painting of about three meters, and there could be no room for error. So when she heard Yun Jixing coming in, she didn't turn around to look, and only put down her pen after she finished the stroke in her hand.

Yun Jixing walked over to her, took a look at the painting on the table, and praised, "Aru, it's really well drawn. It's amazing. It's such a long scroll, but everyone's expressions are so vivid. It feels like I can see their breathing."

Yu Ru smiled, [When did you come back?]

Yun Jixing took a half step forward and hugged her, "I just came back. I put my luggage away and came here. Did you miss me?"

He was looking forward to her answer, and after asking this question, he immediately loosened his arms around her back and instead put his arms around her waist, hugging her and looking into her eyes.

Yu Ru also looked at him, nodded, and then reached out a hand to touch his face, [Why do you seem unhappy? From the Chinese New Year to now.]

Yun Jixing was slightly stunned, then asked with a smile, "Really? Is it obvious?"

Yu Ru shook her head, [Not obviously, but I sensed that you were unhappy.]

Yun Jixing smiled even more happily, showing his two rows of teeth. He suddenly picked up Yu Ru, sat on the chair beside him, and let Yu Ru sit on his lap. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, lowered his head and kissed her face hard a few times, and then kissed her lips again. The force was as soft and continuous as a flowing stream, but the affection was as surging as a surging river. Every bit of it rushed towards her, rushing to merge into her body and merge with her bones and blood.

After a few minutes, Yun Jixing stopped kissing and the two snuggled together, breathing heavily.

"Aru, you are amazing. You see through me clearly and know everything." Yun Jixing kissed Yu Ru on the forehead. "I am a little unhappy because I will meet two people I particularly hate when I return to my hometown. And I don't just hate them. I hate them. I can't finish talking about all the bad things they have done. I feel better today when I came back and saw you."
