Tao Zhizhi, who just graduated from university, suffered a crushing blow from society! It wasn't just that she couldn't find a job, she was also scammed by an old classmate. "Ding—"...
Tao Zhizhi quickly ran to the lamp holder to adjust the light. She breathed a sigh of relief when she turned the light white, finally it didn't look so ambiguous anymore.
It was getting late, and Tao Zhizhi was incredibly nervous about possibly sharing a bed with someone that night. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke:
"Fu Jue, you go take a shower first, I'm going out."
Fu Jue strolled over to her side, gently stroking her back, trying to ease her tension:
"Zhizhi, don't be afraid, I won't do anything you don't want to do."
Hearing this, Tao Zhizhi's body calmed down with his comforting words:
"Yes, I know, it's getting late."
Fu Jue watched her leave the room shyly, then lowered his head and chuckled, gazing indulgently at her flustered figure.
[Isn't this too fast?]
Tao Zhizhi tried to calm herself down and started scrolling through her phone:
What should I do on my first trip with my boyfriend?
[100 little things couples should do!]
Tao Zhizhi abruptly turned off the screen: [What's going on with this big data?!]
She buried her head on the sofa. The living room lights were still pink, and the hazy moonlight shone into the room through the sheer curtains of the French windows. The swaying curtains disturbed Tao Zhizhi's thoughts.
"Zhizhi, I'm done washing."
Fu Jue used a towel to dry his still dripping hair. Water droplets from the tips of his hair slid slowly down his handsome cheeks and disappeared along the collar of his bathrobe.
Tao Zhizhi was stunned when she saw him wrapped up so tightly. Shouldn't he be openly seducing her?
Seeing Tao Zhizhi's gaze fixed on the collarbone of her neckline, she tugged at it with her hand, making it even tighter.
[Who are you trying to protect yourself from?! Okay, I am!]
"Okay, I'll go now, the hairdryer is over there."
Tao Zhizhi shifted her gaze and pointed to the cabinet next to the TV.
When she entered the bathroom, she realized that she had originally planned to sign the contract and leave, and hadn't brought any clothes with her!
She glanced at the bathroom and was surprised to find that the bathroom door was designed too cleverly; the water vapor falling on it made it impossible to cover anything.
[What's the difference between this door and nothing at all?!]
Tao Zhizhi really couldn't handle this, so she quickly wrapped herself in a bathrobe and came out.
Upon hearing the noise, Fu Jue took a hairdryer and went behind her, gently drying her hair after removing the hair drying cap from her head.
The hairdryer gradually brought out the fragrance of her hair, blending it with the scent on Fu Jue's body, until Tao Zhizhi's hair was completely dry.
Fu Jue leaned against her as if drunk, his body seemingly boneless yet absorbing all her strength. Perhaps the atmosphere was pleasant, for Fu Jue's voice was soft:
"Zhizhi, smell it, we smell the same now."
He seemed quite content with the situation, taking a deep breath close to Tao Zhizhi's neck, as if he were treating her like catnip.
"Ouch, it itches, your hair is rubbing against me."
Tao Zhizhi gently pushed the big cat off her, then nestled into his fur. The room was filled with a faint scent of roses, which confused the two of them.
Fu Jue held her and cuddled the cat for a while, as if he had made up his mind:
"Zhizhi, it's too late, you should go to sleep."
Tao Zhizhi blushed, feeling both nervous and expectant. The result—
After the two returned to the room, Fu Jue cleaned up all the flower petals on the round bed, tidied up the bed for her, and took another thin blanket to go outside.
"Zhizhi, I'll make do on the sofa for the night."
Tao Zhizhi thought of the sofa outside and imagined Fu Jue, a tall man of over 180 cm, lying awkwardly on it, his back aching the next day. She grabbed a corner of Fu Jue's blanket.
The voice was so soft that Fu Jue wouldn't have been able to hear it at all if there hadn't been only the two of them in the room.
"Fu Jue, the sofa is uncomfortable. Why don't you sleep on the other side? This bed is quite big; it looks like it can sleep four people."
Fu Jue glanced at her in surprise, his heart softened, his eyes filled with affection, and he followed Tao Zhizhi's instructions to walk to the other side.
The two shared the same blanket. Tao Zhizhi had her back to Fu Jue and tightly closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep.
The more she thought about it, the clearer she became. She turned around gently and saw Fu Jue sleeping face up, his even breathing coming out.
Tao Zhizhi murmured softly, "She's already asleep."
She relaxed, and soon Tao Zhizhi also fell asleep. At this moment, Fu Jue opened his eyes and turned to face Tao Zhizhi.
He stared at her sleeping face with doting eyes for a long time. Tao Zhizhi fell into a deep sleep, and her body involuntarily squeezed towards Fu Jue to take up space.
Fu Jue pulled her into his arms and let her hug him tightly, probably treating him like a teddy bear.
Fu Jue chuckled softly, patting her back gently like he was coaxing a child to lull her to sleep.
Tao Zhizhi slowly woke up in the early morning and realized that she seemed to be imprisoned. When she looked up, she saw Fu Jue's stunningly handsome face.
My hand accidentally brushed against the bridge of his high, straight nose, stroking his long, curled eyelashes. The lyrics of that catchy internet song recently popped into my head: "[Tempting eyelashes~]"
"Pfft—"
She couldn't help but chuckle softly. When she saw Fu Jue's eyes move, she thought she had woken him up, so she quickly held her breath and withdrew her mischievous hand.
Tao Zhizhi glanced at her surroundings in confusion. Fu Jue had almost been pushed off the bed by her. She had rolled smoothly from one end to the other, and her sleeping posture was terrible.
Realizing this, her face flushed instantly, and she tried to slowly move out before Fu Jue woke up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of his embrace, Fu Jue pulled her back into his arms.
It was obvious he'd been awake for a while, just waiting to tease me.
"Were you awake a while ago?!"
Tao Zhizhi was pulled back into his arms, giving up struggling, her eyes occasionally glancing at Fu Jue:
"I admit my sleeping posture is a bit unrestrained, you won't mind, will you?"
Fu Jue tightened his arms, his voice still hoarse from just waking up:
"Hmm, I woke up when you were fiddling with my eyelashes. Are my eyelashes fun?"
"I don't mind at all, I really like it."
He reached up and touched his phone; it was only seven o'clock. He hugged Tao Zhizhi tightly and whispered sweetly in her ear:
"Zhizhi, be good, it's still early, sleep a little longer."
Tao Zhizhi was simply waking up naturally due to her biological clock, and she found Fu Jue's words somewhat amusing:
"You, the president of Tianyi, are actually sleeping in!"
"Yeah, I like to stay in bed, especially now."
Tao Zhizhi couldn't break free from his grasp, so she went back to sleep next to him until nine o'clock when Fu Jue gently woke her up.
"Zhizhi, it's time to get up. How about we eat some breakfast before going back to sleep?"
Tao Zhizhi finally woke up completely. Seeing that two hours had passed, she stared blankly at Fu Jue, who had finished washing up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, her mind still foggy.
Fu Jue saw Tao Zhizhi clearly for the first time in the early morning, and stroked her messy long hair: [She's quite cute.]
Seeing Tao Zhizhi's shy expression, he didn't look around and gestured for her to go out and wait for him.
Tao Zhizhi tugged at the slightly loose straps of her bathrobe and immediately spotted the new clothes at the foot of the bed, which must have been prepared by Fu Jue.
