Last night, she was with Fu Yanshen, intimately...
Shi Jin's words were so suggestive that it was hard not to make some ambiguous connections.
My woman's keen intuition told me that she was trying to hint at something to me.
I curled my lips into a smile.
“That jade Buddha pendant was a gift that Ah Shen bought for me when he was young, working two part-time jobs to earn money. It is extremely precious to me,” Shi Jin’s voice rang out again.
Tsk tsk, Fu Yanshen also gives gifts to girls, and with money he earned through hard work.
I leaned against the bathroom door frame, smiling as I looked at the man inside.
However, he was facing away from me, and the muscles in his back were twitching slightly.
The air seemed to be filled with an ambiguous, fishy smell.
Am I just imagining things?
"So?" I snapped out of my reverie and asked Shi Jin casually on the other end of the phone.
"I want Ah Shen to help me look for it. Maybe it fell into the gap in the headboard, or under the bed..." Shi Jin's voice came again, sounding like she was thinking carefully as she spoke.
I smiled silently and walked closer to Fu Yanshen.
He, being a straight man, certainly wouldn't understand Shi Jin's suggestive and cryptic remarks.
"Shi Jin, I've been on speakerphone the whole time. Fu Yanshen heard everything you just said. I'll give him the phone now," I said to Shi Jin with a smile.
There was no sound from Shi Jin on the other end.
She probably never expected that I had the phone on speakerphone.
I wonder what her expression is like right now?
I walked around to Fu Yanshen's front and saw his chest heaving, his cheeks flushed, and in his dark eyes, there seemed to be a lingering desire.
!!
This guy was just masturbating in the bathroom!
I was right about what I smelled.
"Ah Shen is listening... That's perfect, I don't need to repeat it." Shi Jin's voice came through, slightly embarrassed but quick to save face.
Fu Yanshen cleared his throat. "Shi Jin, after you brought me back around 7 p.m. last night, I let you go. That pendant was a prize I won in a roadside raffle. It's worthless. It's fine if you lose it."
He spoke into the phone microphone, his brow furrowed slightly, in a deep voice.
Hearing his words, my eyes widened. Was this really the truth?
Around 7 p.m., Shi Jin actually mentioned last night.
The pendant that Shi Jin won in the lottery was actually bought for her by Shi Jin, who said he had worked two jobs to earn the money.
When the conversation flowed between tea and conversation and a straight man's bluntness, lol...
I couldn't help but laugh.
Shi Jin remained silent for a while on the other end of the phone, and I could picture her embarrassed expression.
“Ah Shen, how could you say that? Even if it was won in a lottery, I treasure everything you give me. It’s my talisman. When I was in Shengbei… when I was at my most miserable and helpless, when no one could hear my cries for help, I always held it and treated it as my faith to get through it…” Shi Jin’s voice, filled with disappointment and grievance, came through.
The smile on my lips froze as I suddenly remembered what Fu Yanshen had said to me two years ago after I learned about his background.
Because I pestered him to be my bodyguard, Shi Jin was imprisoned by Bei Chen at that time as my substitute... He failed to protect Shi Jin.
At that moment, I noticed a fleeting look of guilt in Fu Yanshen's eyes.
He snapped out of his reverie. "I'll help you look for that pendant. It's getting late, Qiaoqiao and I need to rest. You should rest early too."
The man's tone softened somewhat, and those words...
"Okay, goodnight," Shi Jin said calmly, ending the call first.
I handed my phone to Fu Yanshen. "It's getting late, I'm going back."
Who wants to rest with him?
I strode out of the bathroom.
I hadn't walked more than a few steps when Fu Yanshen grabbed my arm.
"Shi Jin and I aren't what you think. She's not some 'white moonlight' to me. I treat her like an older sister." He lowered his head, looking at me with a very honest gaze, and said earnestly.
"Why are you telling me this?" I frowned, looking puzzled as I asked him.
A nonchalant tone.
Fu Yanshen was clearly taken aback, and his dark eyes gradually darkened.
He earnestly explained his relationship with Shi Jin to me, but I didn't care at all; it was as if I had punched a cotton ball.
I broke free from him.
He pressed on even harder, saying, "The rain outside is still heavy, with short-term torrential downpours. The streets are severely flooded, causing serious traffic jams."
As he spoke, he showed me the navigation map on his phone.
Several red lines indicate traffic congestion.
I looked out the French windows; it seemed like the rain was getting heavier again.
I hate traffic jams and I know how dangerous urban flooding is. Last summer, some cities were flooded and many people perished.
Am I going to be trapped here tonight?
"I haven't had dinner yet, I'm starving. I'll go downstairs and make something to eat. Are you hungry?"
Fu Yanshen's voice brought me back to my senses. His reminder made me realize that I was starving.
I not only skipped dinner, but I also only ate a hamburger for lunch to stave off hunger.
A splash of crimson caught my eye; Fu Yanshen's gauze was bleeding again, and this leg was noticeably more swollen than the other.
"Stop acting up, go lie down or sit down, I'll go cook some noodles." My cold tone carried a hint of disdain.
Fu Yanshen's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes flickered with a faint light. After a moment, he spoke: "There are ingredients in the refrigerator."
I turned around and walked towards the door.
I can't remember the last time I used this kitchen. In the cabinets, all the pots, pans, and kitchen utensils I collected when I was a passionate housewife are still there.
I have a dozen or twenty Le Creuset cast iron pots from Germany alone, featuring a variety of macaron colors and shapes.
When I was learning to cook, Fu Yanshen poured cold water on my enthusiasm, saying: "Poor students have too much stationery."
The double-door refrigerator didn't contain much food, suggesting that Fu Yanshen probably doesn't eat at home often, as there wasn't a single servant in sight.
Fortunately, there were noodles, scallions, eggs, spinach, luncheon meat, and a piece of excellent Wagyu beef.
I haven't cooked properly in a long time, and I've lost interest in cooking. My cooking skills have deteriorated significantly; I can't even fry an egg as nicely as I used to.
As long as it's edible, that's fine.
Two bowls of spinach noodles, served with poached eggs and luncheon meat, and two servings of pan-fried Wagyu beef, seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, looked passable.
I carefully carried the tray upstairs.
Fu Yanshen seemed to have been sitting at the dining table in the small living room on the second floor for a while, waiting.
I placed a bowl of noodles in front of him.
"Thank you, you've worked hard." He looked up at me, his face sincere, and he seemed quite moved.
"Just eat it as is," I said casually.
Fu Yanshen picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily, unlike his usual elegant self. He seemed very hungry and ate with great relish.
I found it very bland to eat, especially the noodles, which were just boiled in water and had almost no flavor.
I remember a long, long time ago, I used to cook noodles in a carefully simmered broth.
I only ate steak, half a fried egg, and spinach, and picked out all the luncheon meat, leaving more than half a bowl of noodles.
As for Fu Yanshen, he had already finished everything; he had even drunk the soup.
At that moment, he was staring intently at the bowl in front of me, looking like a predatory predator...
