Chapter 39 Coaxing
Normally, when Ji Shuang brought fruits or other food to Qi Xingzhou, Qi Xingzhou would turn around and close the door after receiving it, and immediately retreat back to his room like an autistic little turtle.
But today he was different. Ji Shuang watched Qi Xingzhou take the fruit plate from Jiang Ning's hand, and then he just stood there at the door in a daze, with no intention of entering the room at all.
Ji Shuang's previous worries were instantly swept away at this moment!
It seems that Qi Chen's guess yesterday was correct. His silly son really treats Jiang Ning differently from others! Ji Shuang became more and more excited as she thought about it. Seeing that her silly son didn't notice her, she stepped back a few steps, took out her phone and took a photo of the two of them.
Ji Shuang didn't look for a special angle for the shot, but the two of them looked particularly photogenic due to their outstanding looks, especially Qi Xingzhou's delicate profile and the way he lowered his head and looked at Jiang Ning seriously, which actually gave people the feeling that he was particularly focused and affectionate.
Ji Shuang's heart skipped a beat and she shared the photo in the Qi family group called [A loving family].
[A loving family] There are four people in this group chat: Ji Shuang, Qi Jingshan, Qi Chen, and Qi Xingzhou who has never appeared in the group.
After Ji Shuang sent the photo, her phone vibrated slightly. Ji Shuang knew that it must be the father and son in the group who replied.
She glanced at her silly son and Jiang Ning, thinking that she seemed to be of little use here. Not only could she not help, but she was also a hindrance.
Ji Shuang held the phone, gave Jiang Ning an encouraging look, and then tiptoed back downstairs.
She wasn't worried about what would happen; no one was more emotionally stable than her silly son.
Just now, Ji Shuang was watching from the side, and Jiang Ning was indeed a little embarrassed. No matter how easy-going Ji Shuang was, she was still the elder.
Does it seem a little weird to be watched by the elders while communicating with her son?
After Ji Shuang's figure disappeared at the stairs, Jiang Ning's eyes when looking at Qi Xingzhou became much more direct and bold than before.
Qi Xingzhou gave Jiang Ning the feeling of a little rabbit, with his eyes so clear.
Jiang Ning thought about it and took the initiative to greet him: "Do you still remember me? My name is Jiang Ning. We encountered an elevator malfunction at the hotel that day."
Qi Xingzhou held the fruit plate tightly in his hand and nodded slightly.
After Jiang Ning stared at him bluntly, he seemed to be embarrassed to look at Jiang Ning. His eyelids drooped and his gaze avoided. His pure and harmless temperament was very inconsistent with his tall figure.
I feel a little bit obedient for some reason.
He nodded slightly, and if Jiang Ning hadn't been staring at him, he might have ignored it.
Ji Shuang said before that Qi Xingzhou didn't like to interact with strangers or communicate with others. Jiang Ning thought that she would not get a response if she talked to him. Now it seems that the young master is not as introverted as she imagined.
Last time in the elevator, when Jiang Ning deliberately chatted with Qi Xingzhou to distract him, Qi Xingzhou didn't say anything at the time. Jiang Ning wasn't sure if he didn't say anything because he simply didn't want to speak, or if it was something else...
Seeing Qi Xingzhou nod and respond to what she said, Jiang Ning raised her eyes and smiled: "I heard that you go to the hotel every day these days? What do you do there? You squat for several hours at a time, aren't you tired?"
Her eyes were sparkling, with a hint of teasing in them.
Qi Xingzhou stood in front of Jiang Ning like a giant ostrich, shook his body, and his originally fair and flawless beautiful face was stained with a faint rouge red.
His skin is naturally fair, so the slightest change would be particularly obvious.
Jiang Ning didn't expect that he would still be shy. In such a short period of time, he had already experienced several different emotions.
Jiang Ning felt that, apart from being simple and a little dumb, he seemed to be no different in other ways. He looked quite normal, just like the silly son of a landlord who was ignorant of the world.
Jiang Ning was rarely patient with such a good-looking and pure-minded person. She knew why Ji Shuang asked her to come to Qi's house, so she even spoke with a gentle tone: "Don't go to the hotel in the future. Do you know what a hotel is? It is a place where you can eat and stay when you are away from home. Who would go to the hotel every day for no reason? How can a hotel be as comfortable as your own home, right?"
Knowing that Qi Xingzhou would not answer, Jiang Ning did not care. She looked up and around, and began to praise him: "Look at your house, it is so well decorated, spacious and bright, with complete furniture, and there is a small garden downstairs. The environment is many times better than that of a hotel. Why do you keep running to the hotel every day?"
Qi Xingzhou pricked up his ears. He had never listened to someone so seriously before.
He frowned slightly when he heard the first half of Jiang Ning's story, but after hearing Jiang Ning praising the Qi family villa, he seemed to be proud of it and his brows relaxed with joy.
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he said, "Don't stay in a hotel, stay at home."
The boy's voice was awkward, with a hint of hoarseness as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Jiang Ning didn't react at first. After realizing that he was the one speaking, she looked at him with eyes wide open: "So you can talk..."
After hearing what Jiang Ning said, Qi Xingzhou pursed his lips tightly and turned back into his previous silent clam shell appearance.
He stretched out his hand to open the door a little, then moved aside, his clear and emotionless eyes falling on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at him in confusion, and he just stood there, looking down at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning vaguely guessed what he meant. It seemed that Qi Xingzhou was inviting her to his room? But just now when she and Ji Shuang were talking downstairs, Ji Shuang also said that Qi Xingzhou attached great importance to his privacy. Even Ji Shuang and Qi Jingshan and his son had never entered his room.
Jiang Ning took a tentative step forward.
Qi Xingzhou did not react, nor did he show the slightest sign of rejection.
Jiang Ning took another step forward. She was already standing in the door frame, and then she stepped into his room.
Looking at her petite figure so close, Qi Xingzhou held his breath, then took a step back and completely turned sideways.
Jiang Ning knew that she had guessed correctly. Qi Xingzhou actually wanted her to come in.
To Jiang Ning's surprise, Qi Xingzhou's room was very large, with an area of about 60 to 70 square meters, which was four or five times larger than an ordinary house. It should be that the entire left wall on the second floor of the Qi family villa was opened up to create a large room for Qi Xingzhou.
The room is decorated in a simple and cool grey and white colour scheme. The furnishings in the room seem to have been designed, and are particularly pleasing to the eye. It has everything you need for a home office.
But this was Qi Xingzhou's room after all, and the two of them were not very familiar with each other, so Jiang Ning did not look at it for long.
Seeing that she had no intention of entering the room, he quickly withdrew his gaze. Qi Xingzhou lowered his head, looking a little depressed.
Of course, he didn't know at this time that the sour and astringent feeling in his chest was frustration and grievance. He just kept his head down without saying a word, looking very easy to bully and be ravaged by others, which didn't match his big body at all.
