Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life-Chapter 62 - The childish boss

Chapter 62 – The childish boss

Huo Sishen released his hold on the girl..

He closed his eyes slowly, and his nose was filled with the unique rose scent from the girl.

The scent was not too concentrated and not too strong. One would have to be very, very close to her in order to smell it.

And every time, it was able to relax his nerves and alleviate his throbbing brain.

Ever since that day, he had people looked for rose fragrance oil all over and had collected over 100 different kinds.

But, he tested them all out, and none of them could help him fall asleep.

The fragrance on her was very unique…. But he was not able to find anything similar.

As Huo Sishen was thinking, he couldn’t help but frown.

And yet, as he was being enveloped by this elegant and sweet rose smell, his ability to think began to deteriorate.

He hadn’t felt sleepy in days and his splitting headache, all started to soften as soon as she was nearby…

Her scent worked better than any type of medicine?

As he was relaxed, he started thinking about her painting where maple leaves had turned the mountain red.

That was a gift from her to him.

When was the last time he received a gift? He couldn’t even recall.

Even since he had moved into the little cabin next to the Huo’s main residence when he was a child, nobody from his family ever brought up his birthday again.

As an adult, over the holidays, he’d send the staff from the mansion away and have them go home while he stayed and observe the sunrise and sunset by himself.

Gifts, red pockets…. He had already forgotten what it was like when he received them.

Besides, he didn’t need any of those things!

Huo Sishen pursed his lips and tightened his hands into balls.

Before he slipped off into a deep sleep, he struggled to open his eyes and take one more look at the girl sitting next to him.

Her little face that looked like a small flower bud, her limpid eyes stared intently at him without blinking… she had overlapped with that tender little girl riding on the boat in her painting…

The corners of Huo Sishen’s mouth curved upward.

Perhaps, he hadn’t slept for too long, which was why he started to hallucinate.

Earlier that day, in the afternoon, he had been looking at the painting. He felt that maple leaves waving back and forth with the wind. He could also hear the rustling sound coming from all over the mountain. And he could also hear the lapping of the water, along with the crisp laughter of the little girl and the chirping of the crane.

The breeze came at him from straight ahead. He looked down and thought he saw himself rowing the boat amidst the river…

Her painting skill was quite acceptable.

Thinking of that, Huo Sishen closed his eyes again.

The rose fragrance filled his nose and seemed to be mixed with the fresh soil smell in the mountain. The couch felt like the little boat and rocked back and forth slightly in the evening…

Gu Shishi didn’t know what she should make out of the system’s indicator.

She didn’t need the system to remind her. All she needed to do was to look at the boss’s groggy eyes earlier plus his deep and steady breathing now to know that he had fallen asleep.

Plus, before the boss fell asleep, the oh-my-god-i-am-so-tired-I-am-going-to-fall-asleep-right-now look was written all over his face. But, for some reason, he still struggled to open his eyes and look at her through his tired and squinted eyes…. Oh, the boss was quite cute before he fell asleep!

Gu Shishi covered her mouth and giggled.

She didn’t expect the mean boss to be as childish as a big kid.

He was just like her when she stayed up late playing on her cellphone. She would be so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open. In the end, she could only play “Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice” for a little while longer through her squinted eyes.
