Chapter 59 Kneeling on the Cashmere Carpet



Chapter 59 Kneeling on the Cashmere Carpet

[Host, why are you so bold all of a sudden? You blushed when the male lead teased you before.] Haicha was shocked.

"Hmm..." Sheng Baili's cheeks slowly turned red.

"I've been deceived." Sheng Baili murmured.

Haicha: “?”

[It was supposed to be a honey trap, but how come you are the one who got seduced? 】

Sheng Baili: “QwQ”

"I won't dare to do that next time."

[But it’s okay. Look at the male protagonist, he has a calm face and no reaction at all. He knows nothing.]

Sheng Baili patted his head hard, calmed himself down, and brought his thoughts back on track.

There was a "splashing" sound of water coming from the bathroom; Lu Zhouyan was taking a bath inside.

The room was air-conditioned, so Sheng Baili didn't feel cold even in his short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

It's so comfortable in here.

She stayed there for two more minutes in a lustful manner before reciting the password and returning to the dormitory room.

"Huh..." Sheng Baili exhaled, "I'm back to my humble room."

[I can’t waste time. ]

The air conditioner remote control was broken, so Sheng Baili went to the dormitory manager to get a new one.

Just as she went upstairs, she received a call from Zhuang Fang.

"Bai Li." Zhuang Fang's voice was still calm, "What are you doing?"

"He's going crazy."

"......"Zhuang Fang rolled her eyes.

Her daughter is in her senior year and her brain is a little damaged.

"It's like this." Zhuang Fang said patiently, "Mom has cleaned your room and taken the quilt to the balcony to dry. It's warm and comfortable now. The bed sets have also been washed and the clothes in the closet have been tidied."

Zhuang Fang: "It will be convenient for you to stay here when you come back."

"Oh..." Sheng Baili responded slowly.

Zhuang Fang didn't know what she meant. After thinking for a while, she said with a smile, "If I happen to come back, I can teach your brother. He did so badly in math and his grades haven't improved even with tutoring."

After hearing the latter sentence, Sheng Baili felt relieved.

As expected, he had some ulterior motive in asking her to go back.

Sheng Baili: "Okay, I'll think about it."

"Yeah." Zhuang Fang didn't rush her. "I've made a lot of dumplings these days, with all kinds of fillings. What flavor do you want?"

"No thanks." Sheng Baili said, "Thank you...Mom."

Zhuang Fang: "Yeah, I've thought about it and come back early. Everyone at home is waiting for you."

In the evening, the afterglow of the sun faded, and soon the sky became dark.

Sheng Baili didn’t have enough lunch, and her stomach started growling just after six o’clock.

【It's time to eat, host. 】

【What do you want to eat】

After eating a feast in City G for a few days, when Haicha asked her what she wanted to eat, the first thing that came to Sheng Baili's mind was the home-cooked dishes made by Lu Zhouyan.

【You are eating and taking at the same time. 】

"I'm just thinking about it." Sheng Baili said aggrievedly, "Of course I can't go to Lu Zhouyan's house for a free meal."

【What shall we eat tonight?】

【Eat Zhuang Fang’s dumplings at home】

Speaking of Zhuang Fang, Sheng Baili still has a strange feeling in his heart.

Why did his attitude suddenly change?

[Maybe they just want to get together as a family, and they have a strong traditional attitude]

"Maybe." Sheng Baili couldn't figure it out either.

"But it's okay to go back and eat a dumpling. I'll leave after I finish eating and won't stay overnight."

[Yes, yes.]

[Hey, host, don’t you want to eat the food cooked by the male protagonist? Try to tell the sea consciousness space the password? ]

Sheng Baili gave the order half expectantly and half nervously.

[I want to eat the food cooked by Lu Zhouyan.]

Read it three times.

Sheng Baili waited for a while, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Lu Zhouyan: "......"

Do you think I'm a magician?

It can appear immediately.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, the space was empty.

"It seems that a wish of this degree cannot be fulfilled." Sheng Baili said with some disappointment.

Sheng Baili was planning to order takeout, and before doing so she checked her Moments.

Just now, Lu Zhou extended a message to his circle of friends.

【1: I want to cook tonight. Does anyone want to have dinner with me? 】

"!"

He is worthy of being the man who wears the same work clothes as her.

Worried that someone else might get there first, Sheng Baili immediately sent a message.

[Bai Liya: Didi, Boss, shall we eat together tonight? I’m free! [Raise your hand obediently.jpg]]

【Bai Liya: I can help you. 】

[1: Yes.]

[Bai Liya: Can I come over now? ]

S University is not close to Linwan Mansion, and it takes nearly an hour to take the subway, but for this bite of food, Sheng Baili is willing to go out.

【1: You don’t have to come over. 】

【1: I’ll pick you up. 】

【Bai Liya:......owo】

【1: Go to the supermarket and buy some food. 】

I thought the boss came to pick her up specially.

I almost got scared.

It turns out I was overthinking it.

【Bai Liya: OK, thank you boss, I'll wait for you at the west gate of S University, okay?】

【1: Yes.】

Lu Zhouyan said he would send her a message when he arrived.

Sheng Baili didn't know how long it would take, so he lay in the dormitory and played a few games of Landlord and Candy Crush.

About half an hour later.

【1: Come down. 】

Sheng Baili ran downstairs happily and drove all the way to the west gate.

The valuable Cullinan was parked at the school gate, attracting a lot of attention.

The students passing by all took a few glances.

Sheng Baili opened the car door and got in. The car was heated and warm, and Sheng Baili rubbed his red, frozen hands.

She has a cold body and her hands and feet are easily cold in winter.

Sheng Baili: "Boss, which mall are we going to?"

Lu Zhouyan leaned over, and a woody cedar scent wafted over faintly, mingling with Sheng Baili's breath.

Smells good.

Lu Zhouyan lowered his eyes, his long black eyelashes covering his eyes, making it hard to see his expression. Within his field of vision, a bony hand pulled the seat belt and fastened it for Sheng Baili with a "click".

Sheng Baili: "...Thank you, boss."

"It's OK."

The distance was so close that Sheng Baili seemed to feel his chest shaking slightly when he spoke. The textured and magnetic voice echoed in his ears, making Sheng Baili's ears numb for a moment.

Sheng Baili looked a little dazed and swallowed unconsciously.

She seemed to be held by some huge chest muscles for three seconds...

Lu Zhouyan turned his head and looked at him doubtfully, "Are you hungry?"

The low, laziness-filled voice made Sheng Baili shudder. "No, no."

Lu Zhouyan tapped the steering wheel slowly and said the name of the mall.

The mall they went to was the Greater Bay Area Shopping Center, where Lu Zhouyan had bought her a new mobile phone and a cashmere shawl.

The supermarket is on the negative floor. Maybe because it is almost Chinese New Year, there are a lot of people in the supermarket.

Lu Zhouyan pushed the shopping cart while Sheng Baili walked beside him, occasionally picking up items from the shelf to take a look.

"Boss, what are you going to cook?"

Lu Zhouyan asked her in return: "What do you want to eat?"

"Well, either is fine." Sheng Baili returned the initiative to him.

Lu Zhouyan: “Okay.”

Sheng Baili rarely goes to the supermarket. For someone who travels alone, she usually just buys things at a convenience store or orders takeout. She has never gone to the supermarket with anyone.

So it’s a bit novel to be next to Luzhou Yan now.

The aisle was not wide, but it was crowded with many people and shopping carts. Sheng Baili stood in front of the freezer, took a pack of smoked ham, and didn't pay attention to the side for a moment.

A child pushed a shopping cart and rushed towards where Sheng Baili was standing.

"careful."

Before Sheng Baili could react, Lu Zhouyan grabbed her waist. The force was not strong, but it was irresistible.

Lu Zhouyan pulled her in front of him. Sheng Baili was stunned for a few seconds. When she turned around, she saw the child flying out excitedly.

If Sheng Baili was still standing in the original position, he would definitely be hurt.

"Bang--"

The child slipped in a puddle of water and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

The air conditioning in the supermarket was sufficient. Sheng Baili took off her coat as soon as she came in. The cream-white sweater underneath was slim-fitting. The places where Lu Zhou's hands touched felt hot, as if they were having a fever.

Sheng Baili put the smoked ham into the shopping cart. "Thank you, boss."

"Um."

When they reached the vegetable and meat sections, it was Sheng Baili who was pushing the shopping cart. She didn't know anything about buying vegetables, so she followed Lu Zhouyan closely, staring at his back in a daze for a while.

Lu Zhouyan is very tall, wearing a pure black jacket and pants of the same color. The zipper of the jacket is open, revealing a gray-blue sweatshirt with a simple design. The neckline is not small, revealing a small piece of white skin.

Standing casually in the crowd, he is eye-catching but also aloof and looks difficult to approach.

Lu Zhouyan put the things he bought into the car and took the shopping cart naturally, "Let's go."

When Sheng Baili saw the instant noodles being sold, he couldn't help but look over there.

It seemed as if Lu Zhouyan really had the same idea as her and pushed the cart to the seasoning area, and on the left side of the seasoning area was the place selling instant noodles.

Sheng Baili said hello and went to check on the instant noodles.

There are many kinds of instant noodles in the supermarket. Sheng Baili looked at them from top to bottom and his target was the Tom Yum Goong instant noodles at the top.

It was placed a little high, so Sheng Baili tiptoed and reached out.

[How could I not get it? I’m so tall.]

[Almost, just a little bit more...]

[Hmm, I should have worn those thick-soled boots today.]

Sheng Baili was having wild thoughts.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar temperature covered my back.

His broad and slender hands easily picked up the bucket of instant noodles and handed it to her.

Sheng Baili turned around and his eyes fell on Lu Zhouyan's protruding Adam's apple and clavicle.

The man's full chest rose and fell slightly with his breathing, and he felt a heavy sense of oppression.

In this posture...she was completely covered in his arms. The distance was too close, and the cedar scent was more obvious. Sheng Baili reached out to take the instant noodles, his face was hot.

"Thank you." Sheng Baili said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Lu Zhouyan stared at her, his dark eyes were a little heavy, with a hint of meaning that Sheng Baili couldn't understand, "You're welcome."

Sheng Baili blinked, and Lu Zhouyan returned to his nonchalant look.

A glance full of aggression flashed by, and the dangerous aura dissipated in an instant, so fast that it seemed like she had just imagined it.

Sheng Baili raised her hand to push the loose hair behind her ears, then left.

She didn't notice that a few girls behind her were taking a few photos of her and Lu Zhouyan, and they looked like they were about to faint.

"Ah, it's Mr. Lu and Lili. Oh my gosh, I actually bumped into them here!"

"My God, Secretary Sheng is so pretty, and President Lu is so cool too."

"This size difference really amazes my friends. It doesn't feel awkward to substitute the little white rabbit and the Siberian wolf. It smells so good. Is there a wife cooking for me?"

"I want to eat +1, and I'll go back and give some inspiration to the ladies."

"But why do I feel like Mr. Lu is deliberately getting so close to me? He wants to get close to my wife, right? Tsk, he's teasing my wife again."

"I think so too. Xiaoli blushed."

"What a scheming man."

"Forget it. As long as he is willing to put in the effort, there's nothing wrong with a little scheming."

"Meibao is so cute, with a small face, fair and tender skin, and a great figure, with curvy figure. She is a completely soft and beautiful girl, ah ah ah, I am going crazy."

"Why isn't it my wife? Mr. Lu must be so happy."

"Another day of being jealous of Lu Zhouyan, my destined wife..."

"So sweet, little couple 99."

After waiting in a long line to pay the bill, Lu Zhouyan had two big bags in his hands.

Seeing that they were all depressed, Sheng Baili asked considerately: "Boss, can I help you pick one?"

The one on the left seemed to be lighter, and Sheng Baili reached out to help.

"No need." Lu Zhouyan didn't let her take it, "I'll do it."

We took the escalator to the first floor. There were people moving on the escalator, and the line was like a long dragon. The sound of radio, conversations and children's laughter mixed together, making it very lively.

"Put on your coat." Lu Zhouyan glanced at the thinly dressed Sheng Baili, his eyes wandering away quickly, "It's cold outside."

The tone was cold and casual, yet it contained a sense of authority that could not be challenged.

Sheng Baili had the illusion that he was being disciplined and put on his coat obediently.

After getting off the escalator, I reached the first floor.

Sheng Baili was walking behind Lu Zhouyan and saw that his shoelaces were undone.

"Boss." Sheng Baili called him, "Your shoelaces are untied."

Lu Zhouyan was dressed casually today, so he didn't wear leather shoes, but a pair of lace-up sneakers.

But he had things in both hands, so it was not convenient to tie his shoelaces.

Sheng Baili walked over without thinking and squatted in front of Lu Zhouyan.

The slender, white and tender fingers rested on the black men's sneakers, gently pulling the shoelaces to tie a beautiful bow. This service posture had an indescribable visual impact.

Her soft long hair was slightly curled and gently draped over her shoulders. After tying it up, Sheng Baili tilted her head back and smiled obediently, with her eyebrows curved, revealing sweet dimples.

Lu Zhouyan was carrying two large shopping bags, but he didn't look frightened at all. He stood tall and straight, with his eyes half-closed, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Sheng Baili: "Okay. I tied a special bow, it's very secure."

Lu Zhouyan: “Yeah.”

The slightly hoarse voice was filled with some tenderness and casualness, "Thank you, Secretary Sheng."

Several girls who came over witnessed the whole process, their eyes were burning with anger and they almost couldn't help screaming.

"Oh my god, how sweet it is! They are definitely a true couple."

"Indeed, it's still the kind of passionate love, it's as sticky as glue, lacquer, honey and oil."

"Woo woo woo, why are you tying a man's shoelaces, Goddess? You must have made Mr. Lu very happy again."

"Generally, people like this are secretly happy inside and are good at pretending."

"But this posture reminds me of something bad..."

"What are you talking about? I can't take my eyes off this girl. She walks so beautifully and her waist-to-hip ratio is amazing. She's a goddess."

“I took several photos. It was so beautiful.”

"have a look."

"have a look."

......

The black car sped all the way back to Linwan Mansion.

Lu Zhouyan found some fresh milk, heated it up and poured it into a glass.

"Hey, is this for me?"

When Sheng Baili saw the hot milk being brought to him, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The milk was bubbling and steaming, giving off a sweet, milky aroma.

Lu Zhouyan: “Yeah.”

"Thank you, boss!" Sheng Baili pursed her lips and smiled faintly, then quickly said, "Boss, you are so nice."

The sound was quite small, but Lu Zhouyan heard it.

As if he was pleased, Lu Zhouyan smiled silently. He lowered his eyes and stared at the girl for a few seconds, then turned and went into the kitchen.

She slacked off while the boss was cooking.

After being rejected when he initially offered to help with chores in the kitchen, Sheng Baili felt at ease playing with his phone outside.

I haven’t checked Weibo for a long time, let’s click and take a look.

Sheng Baili glanced at the trending news, closed it without much interest, and then checked the updates in the same city.

[I ran into a young couple [burst into tears][burst into tears], Bai Zhou is real! ]

The small picture looks familiar.

Sheng Baili clicked it and took a look.

""

Isn't this her and Lu Zhouyan?

These photos were all taken in supermarkets.

There were photos of Lu Zhouyan pulling her over and protecting her, and there were also photos of Lu Zhouyan standing behind her and picking up the bucket of instant noodles that she couldn't reach.

Looking back at the photo, Sheng Baili realized how close they were, without a single barrier between them. Lu Zhouyan lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes inexplicably doting. An ambiguous atmosphere penetrated through the photo, as if Lu Zhouyan was going to bend down and kiss her in the next second.

Sheng Baili's face flushed as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in the photo.

Was she so timid in her reaction?

It’s P.

Sheng Baili bit her lip in disbelief and flipped the page.

The next photo showed her squatting down to tie Lu Zhouyan's shoe laces.

The photo was taken quite normally. Although I couldn't see her expression clearly, I could tell there was a friendly and harmonious atmosphere between her and the boss.

Sheng Baili nodded with satisfaction and scrolled down to check the comments section.

[Boss Lu's eyes were so sticky that they could be drawn. He just stared at Meibao straightly. It was too much. 】

[Hahaha, you can see he really loves it. My sister even blushed. It's so sweet.]

[It’s so painful to tie my shoelaces. Please give me XP. 】

[Especially the part at the end where the little sister raises her head and rushes to the land with a smile, it's so cute! It's absolutely killer. ]

[It's impossible not to be moved. ]

[It's covered. Even though my face looks cold, my heart rate is actually 180.]

There are a lot of dynamics in the comments section, and everyone is saying some weird things.

"......" Sheng Baili flipped through the pages in silence for a while.

This post was made in a super topic called "Cook a bowl of porridge".

Sheng Baili followed the clues and clicked into the super topic.

Sheng Baili tried to understand.

Is this a super topic about her and Lu Zhouyan's relationship?

A field that Sheng Baili had never set foot in slowly unfolded before him.

Sheng Baili clicked on a long picture. He couldn't see anything from the small picture, but the number of comments and likes was very high. Sheng Baili was a little curious.

She slid the long picture down little by little.

Sheng Baili: “…”

Sheng Baili tried his best to maintain a calm expression as he finished looking at the pictures.

What is this painting...?

In the picture, the girl is wearing a blue and white maid uniform, kneeling in front of the sofa with her legs bent. This posture makes her already short skirt go up even further, barely covering her thighs.

She wore white stockings that went over her knees. The stockings were very tight, and they obviously held the plump, white flesh of her thighs, giving off a slightly fleshy feeling that made one's mouth dry.

A tall and straight man was sitting on the sofa.

He was wearing a crisp black suit and an elegant white shirt that fit his muscular curves, perfectly enveloping the vigorous power underneath. The obsidian cuffs were very dazzling under the light.

The man spread his long and strong legs apart, put one hand casually on his thigh, and pressed the back of the girl's head with the other hand. The veins on his broad hand were slightly bulging, as if he was trying hard to endure something.

The girl did not show her face, but just knelt on the cashmere carpet, her two jade-white hands weakly resting on the man's knees, her head lowered so that neither her expression nor her demeanor could be seen.

The charming and lingering breath burst out like a moist and hot stream, and the fierce torrent seemed to rush out of the screen.

Sheng Baili's heart was pounding, and he felt as if he had been fed with several bottles of liquor in an instant. His whole body was boiling with anger, and the air seemed to have become thinner.

What are you doing?

So strange.

uncertain.

Take another look.

Sheng Baili glanced at it calmly twice, three times...

The girl didn't show her face, but the man sitting on the sofa looked very similar to Lu Zhouyan.

Although it is a comic style, the facial features and the cool temperament are exactly the same as Lu Zhouyan.

Let people think of him at a glance.

What is more obvious is that the words "Bai" and "Zhou" are written on the right side, and the meaning is very clear.

Sheng Baili glanced at the kitchen guiltily, and saw Lu Zhouyan still cooking inside.

Sheng Baili slapped his face hard to wake himself up. Just as he was about to exit this picture, Bao Bao suddenly called out at his feet.

"Meow~"

Sheng Baili immediately threw his phone aside and squatted down to play with the cat.

"You've gained weight, baby." Sheng Baili stroked the cat's chin, "You're so cute."

Sheng Baili: "Do you miss me? You're so clingy."

Bao Bao meowed in a very cute way.

"Don't be sad. Look, there's a big house here, and your brother is with you." Sheng Baili said, "He's very good to you, right?"

Bao Bao: “Meow?”

The man and the cat had a great time chatting.

Lu Zhouyan came over, originally wanting to see if Sheng Baili had finished drinking the milk. If so, he would ask her if she wanted some goat's milk.

But the cup of milk was still full. Sheng Baili squatted on the ground with her back to him, talking to the cat in a coquettish voice, as soft as melted honey.

Lu Zhouyan was about to call her, but when he lowered his head, his eyes accidentally saw Sheng Baili's cell phone on the table.

The picture on his phone made him squint slightly.

Lu Zhouyan lowered his eyes, his gaze was dim and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Okay." Sheng Baili said goodbye to the cat, "Baby, go play by yourself."

The bag is gone.

Sheng Baili turned around and stood up, and saw Lu Zhouyan's tall figure.

Lu Zhouyan's dark eyes stared at her, and the moment they looked at each other, Sheng Baili felt her breath hitch, and the panic of being caught spread, like a herbivorous animal being bitten by the neck.

Lu Zhouyan: "What does Secretary Sheng usually read?"

Sheng Baili: “…”

"It's a very good painting." Lu Zhouyan suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly.

"But the people above, are they you and me?"
