Xie Jing was startled and immediately retracted her hands and feet, trying to step back, but she didn't realize that the edge of the bed was right behind her, and Xie Jing felt a sense of weightlessness. Just as Xie Jing's eyes widened in panic, Zhou Jiyun quickly put his left hand around her back and forcibly pulled Xie Jing back from the edge of the bed.

Xie Jing took a quick breath and said, "I was scared to death."

But when she felt the weight on her shoulders, Xie Jing felt uncomfortable. Now her upper body was almost completely embedded in Zhou Jiyun's arms. Because of fear, her hands and feet were tightly wrapped around Zhou Jiyun. For a moment, Xie Jing's hands and feet were stiff, and she didn't know where to put them.

Her movements were stiff, but Xie Jing could speak. She spoke without even thinking: "You're awake, why aren't you getting up yet?"

Xie Jing regretted the words the moment they left her mouth. Given the octopus position she was in before waking up, how could Zhou Jiyun have gotten up? Xie Jing had never known she slept so poorly.

Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "I did remember it, but Jingjing was too enthusiastic and kept hugging me and wouldn't let me leave."

Xie Jing blushed: "You...you're talking nonsense! I didn't!"

Zhou Jiyun pinched Xie Jing's cheek and said, "Okay, if you say no, then it's no. Do you want to sleep a little longer? You don't have classes on Saturday and Sunday, so you can rest well at home."

Xie Jing couldn't stand the word "sleep" anymore. She struggled to get up: "I don't want to sleep anymore. I want to get up."

Her struggling strength was nothing compared to Zhou Jiyun. Seeing that Zhou Jiyun didn't move at all, Xie Jing poked his shoulder and said, "I want to get up."

Zhou Jiyun approached Xie Jing, his eyes shining like a big dog begging for food: "Then if you have a nice barking voice, I'll let you bark. You know what I want to hear."

Xie Jing looked at Zhou Jiyun with a normal expression. How could she not know what Zhou Jiyun wanted to hear? The dog man wanted her to call him husband all day long, but Xie Jing didn't agree with him.

There was a sly look in her eyes, and her voice was cold: "It sounds nice."

Zhou Jiyun was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at Xie Jing. Xie Jing couldn't help but smile: "You said the sound of screaming was nice, so I screamed..."

Zhou Jiyun couldn't hold it back any longer, and buried his head in Xie Jing's shoulder and laughed for a long time. His laughter seemed to come from his chest, and Xie Jing could feel the vibration.

Xie Jing also laughed. Although the joke was very dull, for some reason, they both wanted to laugh. She touched Zhou Jiyun's hair and said, "Mr. Zhou, I really should wake up. I plan to use the weekend to finish the lyrics that Professor Niu asked me to write."

"This is the first time I've received a lyric writing assignment like this, and it's a task assigned by my teacher. I'll be relieved if I finish it sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I'll always be worried about it."

Listening to Xie Jing talk about her work problems, Zhou Jiyun felt quite relieved. He didn't ask for much, but this request was extremely difficult to achieve. His only request now was for mutual understanding, but how many couples in this world could truly open up to each other?

The first step to mutual understanding is to become an excellent listener. Only when you listen carefully to what the other person says and take it to heart, will the other person have more conversations with you.

If you don't listen to this or that, in the end, you will end up with nothing to say to each other, let alone being in harmony with each other.

"Do you need my help?" Zhou Jiyun said self-deprecatingly, "I've already used up all my literary talent last night. I can't help you with your work at all."

Xie Jing thought of the butterfly he mentioned yesterday and the unbearable lightness of life, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She tapped Zhou Jiyun's shoulder and said, "Even if you asked me to run the company, I wouldn't be able to do it. We just have different strengths."

Zhou Jiyun was immediately coaxed: "Yes, we are just good at different things. But you have always been very smart. If you study business in college, you will definitely achieve great things."

Xie Jing sighed, "Xie Xuerong was afraid that Xie Wuyang and I would compete, so he asked Liu Liming to take me to study art since I was a child. On the other hand, Xie Wuyang followed Xie Xuerong to the company before he even graduated from junior high school. He is biased towards Xie Wuyang after all."

Zhou Jiyun patted her head and said, "Let's forget about the sad things and not feel sad for others."

Xie Jing laughed: "I no longer feel sad for them. You don't have to think of me as pitiful."

"Yes, not pitiful," Zhou Jiyun hugged Xie Jing tightly, and quickly let go of her before Xie Jing pushed him away; "It's great that we can greet the morning sun together."

Xie Jing was neither angry nor amused. She slowly sat up and said, "I think you are really too modest. Is this what you call a lack of literary talent?"

Zhou Jiyun just smiled and said nothing, "I'm going to go wash up. What do you want to eat for breakfast later?"

Xie Jing raised an eyebrow: "You? Cooking?"

Zhou Jiyun buttoned up his home clothes: "I'm not used to others entering and leaving my private space at will. I will do something simple. Most of the time I take care of it in the company or in the restaurant."

"By the way, what did Aunt Li say?"

Thinking about how Aunt Li agreed to come last night, Xie Jing's mood improved a bit: "Aunt Li said I'll resign today, and if everything goes well, I can come tomorrow."

Zhou Jiyun was curious: "No need to do it a month in advance?"

Xie Jing shrugged. "My aunt doesn't have such strict requirements. Many aunts have come and gone in our house over the years. Some of them asked for resignation and left immediately."

"I'm just a little worried. You said Aunt Li came to our house. If Xie Xuerong and Liu Liming knew about it, would they have any thoughts?"

Zhou Jiyun didn't care: "What do you think? This is a two-way choice between employer and employee. Aunt Li just works for the Xie family, but she has never been sold to the Xie family."

"But I have to be careful and make arrangements for Mama Li's family so that no one can use this to take advantage of Mama Li."

Xie Jing felt a sense of sympathy: "That's right. If you look at novels and TV dramas, when something goes wrong in the main family, it's usually because the aunt or bodyguard in the family has been restrained or bribed."

Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Yes, we are just in case."

When Zhou Jiyun went to the kitchen to make breakfast, Xie Jing was washing up in the bathroom. While wiping her face, she received a call from Xie Wuyou. Xie Jing looked at the caller ID in surprise. She and Xie Wuyou had never contacted each other before. Did the sun rise from the west today?

After wiping the water off her face, Xie Jing casually answered the call. A sharp female voice came from the other end of the line: "Xie Jing! Did you do this?"

Time goes back half an hour. Xie Wuyou has indeed been much more well-behaved recently. He said he was out looking for a job, and he went out early and came back late every day. Xie Xuerong didn't ask much about it. As long as Xie Wuyou got home on time, he didn't have many requirements for Xie Wuyou.

But as soon as he got up in the morning, Xie Xuerong saw the news push, especially the hot search headlines, etc. There were as many as six or seven news items about Xie Wuyou.
