Zhou Ci looked at her quietly with deep black eyes, without saying a word.
Ruan Xingwan felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her. She looked away and coughed: "If Mr. Zhou doesn't want to answer, you can pretend that I didn't ask."
After a while, Zhou Cishen said slowly and calmly: "You regret what you said."
"If Mr. Zhou regrets it, it's probably not too late to go find Lin Zhiyi again now."
With that said, Ruan Xingwan stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll leave first."
She had just taken two steps when someone grabbed her wrist.
Zhou Cishen exerted a little force, and she fell directly into his arms.
Before Ruan Xingwan could struggle, Zhou Cishen's arms were already placed across his waist, and he raised his eyebrows: "Are you jealous?"
Ruan Xingwan said without changing his expression: "I like spicy food."
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up, and his eyes glanced at her chest vaguely: "It's quite spicy."
After realizing what he meant, Ruan Xingwan quickly raised her hands and hugged her chest, her face turned red, and she held it in for a long time before cursing: "Rogue!"
"Why am I such a gangster? Didn't you say you like spicy food? I like it too."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Is this dog man sick?
Ruan Xingwan said fiercely: "Let go!"
Instead, Zhou Cishen tightened the hand on her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
"Don't you regret it, Mr. Zhou? Why don't you go with Lin Zhiyi?"
"Okay, I'm kidding you, I can smell your vinegar smell downstairs."
"I……"
Ruan Xingwan had nothing to say for a while.
Zhou Cishen said: "I will take you back in half an hour."
"Isn't Mr. Zhou very busy?"
"The work cannot be done in a day."
Ruan Xingwan was silent and said, "Then why do you have to wait half an hour?"
Zhou Cishen said: "It's rare for you to come to my door. If I just let you go, wouldn't it be a waste of your efforts?"
Ruan Xingwan shut up. She knew clearly what the dog man was thinking, so she shouldn't ask more questions.
A few minutes later, Zhou Cishen said again: "Have you thought about the question you want to ask me?"
The corners of Ruan Xingwan's lips moved. The words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to speak.
"Then keep thinking."
Ruan Xingwan sat on his lap and could clearly hear the beating of the man's heart.
After a few seconds, Ruan Xingwan gently raised his hand and put it on his chest.
Zhou Cishen paused slightly, and when he was about to speak, he heard Ruan Xingwan say: "Stop talking."
Zhou Cishen licked his thin lips calmly, his dark eyes staring at her for a moment.
Ruan Xingwan kept her hand on his chest, and she could feel the steady and powerful beating of his heart even from an unexpected distance.
After a while, Ruan Xingwan took his hand back and whispered: "I'm done asking."
Zhou Cishen was puzzled: "What?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "Nothing."
She looked at the time: "It's very late. I have to work tomorrow. Send me back."
Zhou Ci's eyes darkened and he said nothing.
Ruan Xingwan looked up at him: "Send it off or not?
If you don’t give me a ride, I’ll take a taxi myself.”
Zhou Cishen took back his hand: "Send it off."
Ruan Xingwan got up from his arms and straightened his clothes as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Cishen took his coat and said, "Let's go."
On the way back, Ruan Xingwan opened the window a small crack and kept looking out the window, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
After the Rolls-Royce parked downstairs in the apartment, she was about to unbuckle her seat belt when she was pulled over by Zhou Cishen. Ruan Xingwan looked into the man's dark eyes and blinked.
Zhou Cishen's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he lowered his voice and said, "What did you ask just now?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "Secret."
He leaned a little closer: "Don't tell?"
"Didn't Mr. Zhou have a lot that he didn't tell me? We're even."
Zhou Cishen said: "Is there anything I haven't told you?"
Ruan Xingwan thought for a while and then said, deciding to throw this hot topic back: "Mr. Zhou knows it in his heart."
Zhou Cishen indeed had something to hide from her, so he was at a loss for words and didn't say anything.
Hearing that he didn't speak, Ruan Xingwan successfully replied: "Then I'm leaving. Be careful on the way back, Mr. Zhou. Good night."
She turned her head and was about to open the car door when Zhou Cishen's voice came from the side: "Ruan Xingwan."
"Varied……"
Ruan Xingwan turned around subconsciously, but before she could speak, her lips were blocked.
Zhou Cishen observed her reaction, and when he saw that there was no resistance on her face, he raised his hand and clasped the back of her head, slowly deepening the kiss.
…
After getting off the elevator, Ruan Xingwan put his hands in his coat pockets, and his steps became much brisker unconsciously.
She pressed the password, opened the door and was about to go in, when she saw Pei Shanshan standing at the door with her chest folded, looking at her with an inscrutable expression.
Ruan Xingwan felt a little guilty when she saw him. He coughed and touched his nose unnaturally: "It's...it's so late and you still haven't slept yet?"
"I would like to ask you, where are you coming back from so late?"
Ruan Xingwan responded quickly: "I'm a little hungry. I went out to eat something. If I had known you hadn't slept either, I would have brought some back for you."
Pei Shanshan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Ma... Malatang."
"It seems to be quite spicy, your mouth is swollen."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She laughed dryly and tried to make a final save: "Yeah, next time we can go eat together. It's in the alley downstairs. There are quite a lot of people. I didn't notice it before..."
"Okay, you are really making things up more and more outrageously."
Ruan Xingwan immediately closed his mouth, clasped his hands together, and lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.
Pei Shanshan asked tentatively: "Are you moving out soon?"
"...What are you thinking about?"
Pei Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, otherwise you would make too much progress, and I'm afraid that I would be left alone to guard the empty room."
Ruan Xingwan's eyelids twitched and he said vaguely: "Then what, it's getting late, I'm sleepy, go to bed, I'll talk about anything tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he hurried into the bedroom.
Pei Shanshan looked at her back and couldn't help but click her tongue, and slowly went back to the room. It's so enviable. When can she fall in love?
Ruan Xing was lying on the bed at night, feeling very energetic and unable to sleep.
She slowly raised her hand and looked at her palm, which seemed to still contain the man's body temperature.
The normal heart rate of an adult is around sixty to seventy, but when facing someone you like, your heartbeat will speed up unconsciously.
The questions she wanted to ask had already been answered.
Ruan Xingwan was wrapped in the quilt, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.
I didn't sleep the whole night.
When Pei Shanshan got up the next day, suffering from holiday syndrome, she saw Ruan Xingwan already busy in the kitchen, humming softly, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
