The living room lights weren't on, so Xu Wan couldn't see the man's features clearly. She only felt a warm breath rushing into her ears, stirring her emotions.
"...I'm not afraid."
Xu Wan didn't immediately understand why the man asked that question.
It wasn't that she wasn't afraid of pain, but rather that she was beaten and scolded by her father from a young age. Later, when something happened in her family, she encountered all sorts of prejudices. When she walked on campus, she would be hit on the head by balls that flew from nowhere, and she would be pushed down the stairs.
It hurts a lot.
But what can we do?
No one will ever pity her because of her tears.
Jiang Tingzhou noticed the woman's absent-mindedness and, thinking of her injuries, realized what was going on.
He gently pinched the woman's chin. "Don't worry, I'll try my best not to hurt you."
This was the first time he didn't want to be on the cramped sofa, so he bent down and picked the woman up again, carrying her into the master bedroom.
Moonlight, as clear as water, poured down through the large French windows and spilled onto the spacious bed.
Like a blanket of silver mist, it's incredibly gentle.
-
When Xu Wan woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the thick curtains, drawing a silver line on the floor.
Xu Wan touched the now-cold sheets beside her, and was about to reach for her phone to check the time...
"hiss……"
I felt a noticeable soreness in my waist and leg muscles.
It's like the aftereffects of strenuous exercise.
The next second, a flood of colorful memories rushed into my mind.
She and Jiang Tingzhou seemed to have spent a long time together yesterday, many times.
What's even more problematic is that, if her memory hadn't been impaired, she actually asked for it herself on several occasions later on...
As Xu Wan was reminiscing, footsteps came from outside the door.
She quickly covered her face with the blanket.
Help! How could she be like this after drinking alcohol?!
"woke up?"
Jiang Tingzhou's voice came from outside the blanket.
The man's voice was calm and gentle, completely devoid of emotion.
Xu Wan wrapped herself in the blanket, too afraid to go out, and could only nod.
"Want to take a shower? I had a nice restaurant deliver some takeout. There's porridge, seafood, shrimp dumplings, and sweet and sour pork ribs. Come out and see if there's anything you like."
Actually, these meals weren't takeout ordered by Jiang Tingzhou; they were prepared and delivered by the family's housekeeper.
"I definitely need to take a shower."
Xu Wan quickly said.
“You can wash up after you finish eating. I gave you a quick wipe while you were asleep yesterday, so…”
"I need to take a shower first. You, you go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
Upon hearing what happened last night, Xu Wan wished she could disappear into the ground.
Will her actions cause Jiang Tingzhou to misunderstand anything?
The outside gradually quieted down.
Xu Wan thought the man had left, and just as she peeked her head out from under the covers, she saw that the man had somehow already walked to the bedside!
Just as Xu Wan was about to pull her head back up, the man grabbed her hand first.
"What are you hiding from? You did everything you were supposed to do yesterday, and you saw everything you were supposed to see yesterday. Isn't it a little late to be shy now?"
Xu Wan blushed and protested softly, "I was drunk yesterday and don't remember anything."
"What should I do? Shall I take off my clothes and show you again?"
As Jiang Tingzhou spoke, his right hand, with its distinct knuckles, pinched the obsidian button on his loungewear, making a gesture as if to unbutton it.
"Oh, no need, no need," Xu Wan quickly stopped her.
She did remember some things, not nothing at all.
I remember the man's strong pectoral muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles.
Of course, there were other parts that left an even deeper impression on her than these.
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became.
Jiang Tingzhou withdrew his hand, gently brushed aside the stray hairs on the woman's forehead, and asked softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If necessary, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."
