After an awkward silence, Xu Wan stammered and tried to quibble: "This is..."
Would he really believe such an outrageous reason?
Ruan Chen said slowly: "Aren't you going to take a shower?"
"Yes..." Xu Wan said firmly, "I'm going to take a shower."
Just as she was hesitating whether to say anything more, Ruan Chen had already taken out the tool box and closed the drawer of the coffee table.
Xu Wan breathed a sigh of relief silently and said to himself: "Then I'll go take a shower first..."
"good."
When she was taking a shower, all she could think about was this matter. She should have thrown it away if she had known earlier.
No, she should be blamed. She didn't use the beauty device sooner or later, and she didn't know why she was so crazy tonight that she found it.
After taking a bath absentmindedly, Xu Wan opened the bathroom door and tentatively stuck his head out.
Ruan Chen is no longer in the living room.
Xu Wan looked left and right when Ruan Chen's voice came from behind: "What are you looking for?"
She turned her head suddenly, met his gaze unexpectedly, and laughed twice: "I...it's nothing, let's see if it's hot outside."
Ruan Chen handed her the beauty instrument: "It should be repaired, let's try it."
Xu Wan took it and plugged it into the socket in the bathroom. It worked normally.
She took off the plug again: "I've washed it, you can go."
Ruan Chen said: "You use it first, I will reply to the email."
Xu Wan said "Oh" and plugged the plug back in. It was such a big embarrassment. She wanted to make the best use of this beauty device today.
For the next time, Xu Wan stayed in the bathroom, taking care of every corner of her face and neck carefully.
When she finished, she heard that Ruan Chen was on the phone, still communicating in English. It should be about the company over there.
Xu Wan put away the beauty instrument and walked lightly to the living room, ready to get a glass of water.
In the living room, Ruan Chen is sitting at the dining table with a computer in front of him and a mobile phone in one hand, browsing the contents of emails and giving opinions to the other party.
Xu Wan didn't want to disturb him, so she took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and prepared to go back to the bedroom.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw the moon lantern placed not far away.
After watching for a while, she turned back and looked at Ruan Chen working at the dining table, and suddenly felt that it was too inappropriate.
At the same time, Ruan Chen also finished the call and looked up at her: "What's wrong?"
Xu Wan recovered his thoughts: "Nothing... Do you still want to work?"
Ruan Chen said: "There's still a while, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first."
Xu Wan slept for so long today and was not sleepy at all.
She paused and then asked, "Have you finished eating?"
Two seconds later, Ruan Chen replied: "No."
Xu Wan put the water in his hand on the dining table and reached out to open the refrigerator: "I went to the supermarket today and bought some fruits. Let me cut some for you.
Or tell me what else you want to eat, there are quite a lot of ingredients."
Ruan Chen's lips curved: "Fruits will do."
Actually, the assistant has a scheduled work meal tonight.
Xu Wan took several different fruits from the refrigerator and went to the kitchen.
She washed the fruit, peeled it, and cut it into small pieces one by one. Finally, she put the salad on it, put a small fruit fork on it, brought it to Ruan Chen and put it down: "Okay, you eat, I'll go back to the room."
Already."
Ruan Chen said: "Don't you want to eat?"
"I……"
As soon as Xu Wan opened her mouth, she felt a little hungry.
The meal she prepared for one person at night was not much. After eating it for so long, it was indeed...
Xu Wan said: "Then I'll eat a little bit."
She sat down opposite Ruan Chen, picked up the fruit fork, and ate while scrolling through her phone.
Two people work together, eating and playing with their mobile phones without disturbing each other.
When Ruan Chen closed the computer, Xu Wan raised his head: "Eat quickly, I..."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the fruit plate in front of her.
She ate most of the plate of fruit.
Xu Wan: "..."
Outrageous.
As expected, you can’t eat while playing with your phone, it’s too sinful.
Ruan Chen asked her: "Are you full?"
Xu Wan was silent for two seconds, put down the fruit fork as quickly as possible, stood up and said, "I'll get it for you again."
Ruan Chen held her wrist: "No, these are enough."
"But you didn't even eat dinner, what's wrong with these..."
"Eat."
Xu Wan: "?"
Ruan Chen said: "I just want you to stay with me here."
Xu Wan suddenly felt that her ears felt a little hot, and she whispered: "Then... just say it."
"I know, I will tell you directly in the future."
Xu Wan took his hand out and pushed the fruit plate to him: "You eat the rest, I'll go back to sleep."
After speaking, she turned around and quickly entered the room.
Lying on the bed, Xu Wan took out her mobile phone and searched online for the layout of the study room.
Every time she reads a picture or article, she saves one.
Xu Wan watched for who knows how long before footsteps were heard outside the bedroom door.
She quickly stuffed her phone under the pillow, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Ruan Chen gently closed the door and sat next to her. Just as he was about to reach out to turn off the desk lamp, the phone under Xu Wan's pillow rang, and her eyelashes moved unconsciously.
The next second, there was a snap and the desk lamp was turned off.
The room fell into darkness.
Xu Wan took a breath, but before she could relax completely, Ruan Chen's voice rang in her ears: "Can't sleep?"
She slowly opened her eyes and looked into his quiet eyes through the darkness.
Xu Wan whispered: "A little bit."
She paused and continued: "Have you finished all your work?"
"alright."
"Eat all fruits..."
"Finished."
Ruan Chen whispered: "Is there anything else I want to ask?"
"you……"
As soon as Xu Wan opened his mouth, his lips were blocked.
She slowly closed her eyes and put her hands around his neck.
Everything grows silently in the darkness and spreads rapidly.
Just as Xu Wan was lying on the bed, breathing slightly and listening to the movement on the bedside table, Ruan Chen finished taking the things and put his thin lips against the shell of her ear again: "Sister, the one you bought today is too small.
I’ll buy two sizes larger next time.”
Xu Wan: "..."
She held herself up slightly: "I didn't buy that one..."
Xu Wan reluctantly explained, and then said, "Although this reason is ridiculous, I swear, it is really like this."
In the darkness, Ruan Chen laughed silently.
Xu Wan said tentatively: "Do you really believe it?"
"I prefer to believe that you bought it too small."
"No……"
The rest of the words were all drowned in the throat.
Although they were only separated for two or three days, Xu Wan truly realized what Yan Xiang said: a long separation is better than a wedding.
Ruan Chen's energy is so good, why can he arrive at the company at 7 or 8 am the next morning and work overtime until 10 pm despite barely sleeping at all?
