Chapter 184 Who is this man?
Xiang Yun set an alarm before falling asleep, and woke up an hour after Xu Songning left.
He didn't have the habit of sleeping in. He was brushing his teeth at the moment, his phone on the sink. After seeing her message, Xiang Yun smiled helplessly. He could imagine her expression right now, which must have been a sly smile.
He would usually fulfill Xu Songning's requests. If a request was unacceptable, he would just have to drag it out with her. If a request wasn't worth dragging out, there was no need to waste words on it.
With a toothbrush between his teeth, he rolled up his short-sleeved shirt, turned around in front of the mirror, tightened his waist and abdomen, and snapped a picture of her.
"Quack".
Xu Songning took a bite of the white sugar cake in front of her. The soft texture and the sugar coating her tongue made it incredibly sweet.
She opened the photo under the table, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Xiang Yun has consistently maintained a fitness routine and morning runs, with remarkable results; his attractive abdominal muscles have become even more defined.
The veins on the back of his hands, bulging as he rolled up his short sleeves, were visible; his abdominal muscles rose and fell; and his low-waisted pants hung loosely on his taut waistline, almost slipping down when not belted.
Xiang Yun: Have you seen it clearly?
Xu Songning clicked to save the photo, a smile spreading across his face.
Xu Songning: Come pick me up in half an hour, handsome captain.
When Xu Songning is in a bad mood, he calls him Xiang Yun; when he is in a good mood, he calls him Brother Yun and Captain Xiang; and when he is in an especially good mood, he calls him Handsome Captain.
Xiao Huangning.
Xiang Yun understood her thoughts and replied with an "okay".
Suddenly someone at the dinner table called out to her, "Songning, what's wrong? Is something good happening?"
Xu Songning raised her head, and before she could even speak, everyone saw her bright smile. Her colleagues at work were indeed different from those she knew in person.
"Oh, nothing, I just saw a funny video."
"What video? Let us see it too." Some people just don't understand where the boundaries are.
Xu Songning took a sip of her drink and calmly replied, "It's already been swiped past, I can't find it anymore."
Can I show this to others? Especially at such a serious dinner table.
Cheng Jianming glanced at her and helped change the subject.
After a satisfying meal, the group said goodbye to Cheng Jianming and agreed to meet again.
Xu Songning glanced at her phone; Xiang Yun had arrived and was texting her from the garage.
Xiang Yun: It's raining, I'll come up to pick you up.
They couldn't hear the rain in the private room. Xu Songning lifted the curtains, and the others could see the light rain outside. It wasn't heavy, and they only needed to pass through a short, unobstructed area to get to the garage.
"Okay, we'll be going now, bye-bye." The group said goodbye and left.
Xu Songning looked at the rain outside. Her car was parked in the garage. Xiang Yun had taken a taxi over, which was a bit of a hassle, but he never said it would be troublesome to pick her up. She could drive back by herself, but she just wanted Xiang Yun to pick her up.
She asked Xiang Yun to come, and Xiang Yun came and waited for her in the garage.
When Cheng Jianming returned after finishing his phone call, he saw Xu Songning staring blankly. He gently tapped the table. "Songning, someone's coming to pick me up soon. Would you like to borrow an umbrella before you leave?"
"No need, you go ahead, I'll just sit for a bit and then I'll leave," Xu Songning said with a smile.
Cheng Jianming nodded, "Okay."
He hesitated, wanting to say something, but seeing Xu Songning's profile as she looked at the rain, he ultimately held back and turned to leave.
"Knock knock".
Two knocks on the door of the private room brought Xu Songning back to his senses.
She opened the door, and behind it stood Xiang Yun, raindrops falling on his shoulders.
"Brother Yun, didn't you use an umbrella?" Xu Songning exclaimed in surprise, pulling out a tissue to wipe the raindrops off his shoulder.
"I called, it was raining quite hard when I arrived." Xiang Yun let her wipe his clothes.
His clothes were crisp and clean; when he wiped the fabric with a tissue, the damp tissue stuck to his clothes instead.
"Oh no, I've made things worse." Xu Songning rubbed his clothes.
Xiang Yun glanced down at the small white spot on his clothes. "It's okay, let's go first. It might rain heavily later."
"good."
Xu Songning took his arm and slipped under the umbrella.
Xiang Yun tilted his umbrella towards her, blocking most of her view. There weren't many people on the corridor; only a few were coming and going, each holding an umbrella.
Someone walked quickly towards us, making a phone call.
"Uncle, I've arrived. Where are you?"
Xu Songning heard a male voice that was both strange and familiar, stopped in his tracks, and felt a tightness in his heart.
Could it be such a coincidence? Shanghai is so big, and we've never run into each other before, but we just happened to run into each other this time when we're with Xiang Yun?
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yun noticed her unusual behavior and asked her, looking down at her.
This walkway is not wide, and there are green plants on both sides. People coming from both ends have no way to avoid it.
As the person in the distance drew closer, Xu Songning suddenly turned around, grabbed Xiang Yun's neck, and buried her face in his chest.
Raindrops fell on the umbrella, making a pattering sound.
In this small space under the umbrella, Xu Songning held him tightly.
Xiang Yun was extremely surprised. He was knocked back a step by her and looked down at the vortex above her head. He had no idea what had happened.
Xu Songning whispered, "Lower the umbrella a little."
It was a cool season, and the two of them were not dressed thickly. Their bodies were pressed together without any gaps. Xiang Yun could clearly feel her softness, her pounding heartbeat, and the fragrance on her body. Everything made him feel warm.
Her instructions sounded strange to him, but he still obediently lowered the umbrella, covering most of her body.
He gently placed his hands on her waist and patted her reassuringly. "Songning? What's wrong?"
"Don't talk, let me hold you for a while."
Xiang Yun found the sudden embrace on this rainy day strange.
Xu Songning pressed her chest against his, hearing his strong heartbeat, and felt inexplicably at ease.
This is Xiang Yun, a man who treats her very, very well. They have already met each other's parents, and everything is moving in a positive direction. This must not be ruined by anyone.
What was she doing? Xiang Yun didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask.
Xu Songning gripped his clothes tightly, turned her head to look at the glass in the corridor, and saw the man on the other side getting closer and closer, his face becoming clearer and clearer.
That face, which I hadn't seen for years, left a clear mark on the glass.
Xiang Yun held her, puzzled. A passing man was drawn to the two people embracing in the rain and glanced at them curiously. The person in Xiang Yun's arms only showed half of her back and two straight legs. Although he couldn't see her face, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
The man frowned, wanting to stop, but then his uncle's voice came through the phone, telling him to hurry downstairs to pick someone up. So he walked past the two people without stopping.
After passing Xiang Yun, the man still reflexively looked back.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yun was also looking at him.
The two men's gazes clashed briefly in the cold rain, neither giving way to the other.
