Lu Xiaoqiao stood up with her pajamas and toiletries, and curled her lips: "You thought about it quite early."
Zhou Qizheng raised his lips slightly, smiling: "It's getting late. Some things can only be realized if you dare to think about them. If you don't even dare to think about them, then they are doomed to fail."
"Tsk! Then you can figure it out slowly. I'm going to take a shower. By the way, where should I take a shower?"
The last few times I came here, except for the first time when I stood at the door of his room and took a look at his bedroom, I never really gave him a proper tour.
Zhou Qizhen took her to the bathroom. Lu Xiaoqiao looked around the space which was larger than her room. The design of separating dry and wet areas was scientific and exquisite. On one side was a shower area made of transparent glass, and on the other side was an oversized bathtub.
Zhou Qizheng saw her staring at the bathtub and asked, "Do you want to take a bath?"
Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head: "I can just take a shower!"
"good."
While Lu Xiaoqiao was taking a shower, Zhou Qizheng came to the study and took out the household registration booklet from the anti-theft pocket on the side of his coat.
I didn’t dare put it in the suitcase before because I was afraid it would be lost.
He slowly opened the household register with a hint of solemnity, and turned the pages one by one until he found the page with Lu Xiaoqiao's name. His eyes became exceptionally gentle, and his thumb gently fell on her name, stroking it again and again, then he slightly lowered his head, touched his lips lightly to the place where her name was on the paper, and left a kiss.
He carefully placed the household registration booklet in the safe, looked at it several times, and then closed the safe door with relief.
When he returned to the room, Lu Xiaoqiao had already finished washing and was blow-drying her hair.
Zhou Qizheng walked over and took the hair dryer from her hand: "Let me help you blow dry."
"Okay." Lu Xiaoqiao agreed with a smile.
Zhou Qizhen did not pull her hair to hurt it because it was his first time to blow-dry such long hair. Instead, he gently ran his big hands through her thick long hair, making Lu Xiaoqiao feel so comfortable that she felt like she was wrapped in clouds and she felt drowsy.
After Zhou Qizheng finished blowing her hair, he turned off the hair dryer, bent over and kissed her on the lips: "Okay, go to bed!"
"Um."
After Lu Xiaoqiao left, Zhou Qizheng simply tidied himself up, then took off his clothes and walked towards the shower room. There was still mist and humidity in the room, and the air was filled with the fragrance of tea-scented shower gel. It was clearly a familiar smell to him, but today it seemed to be mixed with a different fragrance.
The fragrance was like an invisible hand, gently touching his heart. His thoughts became a little hazy in the charming aroma. When he thought of the woman he liked, who was right outside, lying on his bed, his breathing became a little rapid. He inadvertently lowered his head, his face full of shock, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
…
An hour later.
Zhou Qi was walking out of the bathroom in black pajamas. As soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Xiaoqiao sitting on the bed, looking at him with sad eyes.
Zhou Qizhen couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and hummed, "What are you talking about? Why do you take so long to wash? Like a grown-up girl. My phone ran out of battery, and when I looked for the charger, I realized I had forgotten it at home! I was waiting for you to come out and use your charger, but what about you? You took more than an hour to come out after washing."
Zhou Qizheng: “…”
Zhou Qizhen looked a little unnatural: "I'll get it for you now."
Only after charging her phone did Lu Xiaoqiao feel relieved. She always felt insecure when her phone was out of battery.
She glanced at Zhou Qizhen who was already sitting on the bed: "Use your phone to set the alarm for me, otherwise I will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow."
"Okay, got it, go to sleep!"
After they both lay down, Zhou Qizheng tilted his head and glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao who was still blinking: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Xiaoqiao blinked her watery eyes and said, "It seems that the hardship has passed. It's all thanks to you."
Zhou Qizhen turned off all the lights and left only a night light on.
After a while, Lu Xiaoqiao turned over in the quilt: "Is your quilt made of down? It's soft, light, and very warm."
"If you're not sleepy, let's do something else!" Zhou Qizhen said suddenly.
When Lu Xiaoqiao realized what he meant, she was so frightened that she quickly kept silent and fell asleep soon after.
Zhou Qizhen also calmed himself down. He woke up after just a short while. At this moment, Lu Xiaoqiao rolled to his side and hugged his arm tightly.
Zhou Qizhen sighed silently in his heart. He clearly wanted to kiss her hard, but from the time he entered the house until now, he only kissed her lightly when he was blow-drying her hair.
He knew very well that in this private space where no one would disturb him, once he relaxed his restraint, the love would be like a tidal wave that would burst a dam and make him completely out of control.
Zhou Qi was just trying to calm himself down, relax his body as much as possible and not think about her soft body, but the more he did this, the more he felt like he was going to explode.
He gasped, sat up suddenly, glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao who was sleeping soundly, and as if he had made up his mind, he got out of bed and walked towards the cloakroom.
…
The next morning.
Lu Xiaoqiao woke up slowly, as if she had regained consciousness in the rich fragrance of flowers.
She slowly opened her eyes and what she saw was Zhou Qizhen, who was obviously dressed up carefully.
He was wearing a neat black suit with a spotless white shirt underneath, and his hair was styled more exquisitely than ever before. At this moment, he was kneeling on one knee beside her bed, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
When Zhou Qizhen saw that she finally woke up, a gleam of surprise flashed across his eyes for a moment, and then nervousness spread in his eyes.
Just now, when she was still asleep, I sat beside her bed and looked at her pretty face while she slept. All kinds of emotions were surging and brewing in my heart. She was finally going to belong to her! But I was also worried about what would happen if she didn't agree and it would fail?
Zhou Qi saw Lu Xiaoqiao slowly sitting up with sleepy eyes, looking at him blankly.
He opened and closed his lips slightly, and pondered for a long time. He finally mustered up the courage and was about to speak when he saw Lu Xiaoqiao lying back on the bed.
Zhou Qizheng: “…”
Lu Xiaoqiao felt like she was still dreaming. As she lay down, she murmured, "I haven't woken up yet. Let me sleep a little longer!"
But after a while, she felt something was wrong. Why was the sweet floral scent still lingering around her nose?
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Zhou Qizheng still kneeling on one knee in front of her bed.
This time I'm sure I'm not dreaming!
He sat up again, his tone full of doubt, but his voice was very soft and sticky: "What are you doing?"
"Jojo!"
Zhou Qizhen took a deep breath, his Adam's apple rolled a little, and he tried hard to steady his voice, trying to dispel the slight tremor caused by nervousness.
"Qiao Qiao, I know this is very sudden, but I don't want to wait any longer. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, rain or shine, and never leave you. Will you marry me?"
