Chapter 51: Rubbing the mole on his jaw

Tan Shuyi was even more excited than Zhu Wendong and immediately asked, "When? When?"

Zou Jing: "Just five minutes before the wedding started."

Tan Shuyi had a pensive expression on her face, her index finger rubbing her chin as she shrewdly said, "Actually, I think Qi Shen... Qi Yanxue might be interested in you. Just a few steps from the restaurant, I saw him with his eyes glued to you."

Zou Jing agreed, "And at the wedding, I saw Qi Yanxue staring at you the whole time, her eyes practically glued to you."

Otherwise she wouldn't have mistakenly thought that the two of them were still together.

In response to their words, Zhu Wendong said calmly, "Maybe Qi Yanxue is just squinting."

Tan Shuyi: "..."

Zou Jing: “…”

Sister, you shouldn't be so sober.

Zou Jing recalled something and continued, "I remember Qi Yanxue proposed to you privately during your sophomore year. It's such a shame that you two broke up."

The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, their family backgrounds match, and they are both in love with each other. Even their names are one snow and the other winter. They are simply a match made in heaven.

Tan Shuyi slapped her on the head and said, "What a pity! You must have been stupid during the civil service exam, right? It's been eight hundred years since then. It's a pity that you're still here."

Knowing that what she said was wrong, Zou Jing smiled awkwardly: "Maybe you really did fail the test. I'll introduce you to the handsome guy from my unit someday."

Zhu Wendong smiled lightly and said, "No, I don't have any thoughts of falling in love for the time being."

-

"No way, Qi Shen, my wife's roommate is the one who dumped you and flew abroad?"

Qi Yanxue had a deadpan expression on her face: "If you speak louder, half the world will know that I was dumped."

He Tan covered his mouth and asked, "So what's your situation now? Did you pursue her again but failed?"

Qi Yanxue glanced at him and said earnestly: "Go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist some other day, don't delay your treatment."

“…”

It's probably Qi Yanxue, not him, who needs to see an ophthalmologist.

As someone who has been through this, He Tan has a keen intuition: "I don't think you've let her go at all. Besides, I think she still likes you."

Seeing that He Tan was truly blind, Qi Yanxue picked up her phone and said, "I'll make a doctor's appointment for you. Getting married is like being stupid."

He is completely hopeless.

He Tan gave up and said, "Okay, if you let it go, I'll ask my wife to introduce a handsome boy to her someday."

Qi Yanxue glanced over with a cold look.

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." He Tan admitted his mistake immediately.

-

After the dinner, Zou Jing and Tan Shuyi hugged Zhu Wendong for a while.

Tan Shuyi drank some wine, tears in her eyes: "Baby, you must be happy, the one I am most worried about is you."

Zou Jing, who hadn't drunk alcohol because she was about to drive, was sober and looked at her speechlessly. Then she said to Zhu Wendong, "Chu Chu, she started talking nonsense when she was drunk. Don't pay attention to her."

"But you must be happy. This must come from the heart." Zou Jing's tone suddenly became sincere. "I hope that you can finally overcome all the hardships and get what you want."

Finally, the three of them said goodbye reluctantly, and Zhu Wendong got on his own Cullinan.

Just as she was about to start driving, the passenger door was opened. Qi Yanxue sat in it smoothly, fastened his seat belt, raised his chin towards her, and signaled to drive.

Zhu Wendong: “?”

She didn't move for a long time.

Qi Yanxue then lazily opened his noble mouth: "I drank a little and can't drive."

After saying that, he held his forehead and closed his eyes tiredly.

We are all neighbors, and judging from his attitude, he doesn't seem to be in the mood to negotiate.

Zhu Wendong was too lazy to refuse, so he just drove back with him to Biesong.

When they arrived at the underground garage, Zhu Wendong saw that the man in the passenger seat was still sitting quietly with his eyes closed, resting, not moving at all, with no intention of waking up.

She had no choice but to wake him up softly: "Qi Yanxue, we're home."

No movement.

Zhu Wendong sighed slightly, unbuckled his seat belt, and moved closer, raising his voice: "Qi Yanxue."

Still no movement.

"Qi——" Zhu Wendong's voice was stuck in his throat just as it came out.

I was caught off guard and ran into those dark and deep eyes.

Qi Yanxue lowered his eyes and looked at her. The distance was quite close, so close that he could see himself in her clear pupils, the fine and soft hairs on her face, and a flash of panic.

"You're so close, trying to steal a kiss from me?"

Zhu Wendong was startled by what he said and tried to retreat quickly, but his hands that were supporting the center console went limp, and he lost his balance and fell directly into Qi Yanxue's arms.

She overturned the items under the center console, and the rustling of shirts and sweaters echoed in the empty garage.

Her two hands happened to rest on the man's hard and broad chest, and the scent of cedar mixed with the smell of alcohol enveloped her.

"It's popular to do this kind of fraud these days, right?"

Qi Yanxue's lazy voice sounded above his head. Zhu Wendong could even feel the warm breath he exhaled and the strong rise and fall of his chest.

She raised her head little by little, wanting to explain, but the distance was too close, and the corner of her lips just brushed against the mole on the corner of his jaw.

Now she was completely frozen.

A soft touch brushed against the cold jaw.

Qi Yanxue's eyes were still hazy, yet still dark and deep. The corners of her lips curled up lazily, and she spoke each word with amusement: "It's not okay to do it secretly, so let's do it openly, right, you female, hooligan?"

Zhu Wendong looked up at him and said calmly, "If I say I didn't mean it, you won't believe me?"

Qi Yanxue raised an eyebrow: "Do you think I believe it?"

Zhu Wendong simply went all out and said, "Anyway, I kissed and bit you last time when I was drunk, so this time won't make a difference."

"Why didn't you tell me that five years ago, you kissed me, bit me, and slept with me?" Qi Yanxue said, dragging out her tone.

“…”

Zhu Wendong made up his mind and said calmly, "If you say so, it's fine."

There is another man living in your heart, and you dare to provoke him.

Just treat him as a backup, as Plan B, right?

Qi Yanxue's heart suddenly turned cold, and he said calmly: "Have you touched me enough? How long do you plan to touch me?"

When he reminded her, Zhu Wendong realized that she was still in Qi Yanxuedao's arms. The two completely different bodies were tightly pressed together. From a distance, those who didn't know would think they were flirting.

She quickly steadied herself and returned to the driver's seat. Unaware of Qi Yanxue's sudden change in expression, she spoke to herself, "Believe it or not, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to wake you up and tell you we were home."

Qi Yanxue unbuckled his seat belt and said "oh" in a flat tone.

After taking the elevator to the 23rd floor, the two of them stopped talking.

Just before Zhu Wendong was about to enter, Qi Yanxue suddenly spoke.

"Do you still have that ring?"

Zhu Wendong paused, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he said calmly, "I threw it away after we broke up."

"Zhu Wendong, you are really great." Qi Yanxue's face was ashen, and his eyes were as deep as a bottomless spring.

Then there was a "bang" sound and the door was closed.

It was like a heavy punch hitting Zhu Wendong's heart, silent and painful, but it made people feel numb and astringent.
