Lu Xiaoqiao didn't think much about it and sat down next to Zhou Qizheng to watch the movie that had already started playing on the projector. Lin Lin chose a disaster movie, saying that she usually didn't dare to watch it, but today there were so many people around that she could give herself courage.
The movie talks about a global disaster caused by climate change. When the scene came that everything in the world would turn into ice sculptures, Lu Xiaoqiao sat up straight nervously, clenching her hands on her legs.
Later, when the scene was about to knock someone down because of a hungry wolf coming out to look for food, she subconsciously leaned back suddenly.
But she did not lean against the back of the chair, but fell into a warm and solid embrace. She instantly realized that she had accidentally leaned on Zhou Qizhen who was sitting next to her, and her posture at this moment was as if she was sitting in his arms.
She hurriedly moved away and sat down. At that moment, her heart was beating a little faster. She was nervous, embarrassed, and a little shy, all intertwined together, and her cheeks turned red.
Just when I didn't know what to do, my cell phone rang. I took out my phone and saw that the caller ID showed my aunt. I quickly stood up and walked to the bathroom in the private room.
She pressed the answer button, adjusted her breath slightly, and said softly, "Hello! Auntie."
Zhang Minzhi's voice came from the phone, "Xiao Qiao, where are you? I didn't see you at all. I didn't see you when I was having dinner just now. Your sister Na and Zheng Yan also said they didn't see you."
"Uh, I'm in the bathroom now. Just now, Lin Lin, Jia Jie and I were watching a movie. Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Nothing, I just asked, Sun Mei from your department looked for you just now but couldn't find you, and asked me if I saw you, and she said you didn't reply to her WeChat."
What could Sister Sun want from her? She just wanted to bring her brother together. Zhao Jia had gone to the restroom outside the private room before and came back to tell her that he saw Sister Sun's brother. Knowing this, she decided not to go out anymore.
"Oh, I'll ask her something next time."
"Well, I'll be back in a bit. Be careful if you stay here tonight. I'll book a private room in the sleeping area. Your sister Na is with Zheng Yan. I'll ask Zheng Yan to call you when you're done."
Lu Xiaoqiao sighed helplessly. It would be a miracle if she could really get a call from Zheng Yan. However, she still said softly, "I know, auntie. You don't have to worry."
Zhang Minzhi hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Looking at myself in the mirror on the sink, my cheeks seemed to be a little hot. I went to the sink, turned on the faucet and splashed water on my face a few times.
When I turned the bathroom door handle and was about to go out, I was startled by Zhou Qizhen who was standing at the door out of nowhere.
"Mr. Zhou, you need to use the bathroom. I'm ready now, go ahead."
He didn't move after Lu Xiaoqiao finished speaking. She looked up at him, really looked up. She didn't notice it at other times, but now that they were standing close to each other, the height difference was immediately obvious.
"Did your aunt call you?"
It wasn't that he intended to eavesdrop, it was mainly because of the little incident that happened while they were watching a movie on the sofa just now. It was only because of Lu Xiaoqiao's unintentional leaning that made his heart beat faster.
Before he could react, she turned and ran away!
The disappointment in my heart was self-evident. Even though I knew she was answering a phone call, I still followed her involuntarily.
"Well, my aunt asked why she didn't see me outside."
"Do you want me to explain it to your aunt?"
Hearing him say he wanted to see his aunt, Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head and said, "You must not go."
Zhou Qizheng was a little disappointed and asked, "Am I really shameful?"
"No, the main thing is that if you go, Lin Lin's identity will be exposed."
Seeing that it wasn't because he couldn't do it that she couldn't meet her family, Zhou Qizheng felt relieved, but he still said softly: "You will meet them sooner or later."
Lu Xiaoqiao thought he was talking about Lin Lin's identity and stopped talking to him.
The movie was over by then.
Li Yuxuan suggested going to the sauna. Everyone was wearing hot spring clothes and just went in directly. Only Zhou Qizhen was left standing there straight in his shirt and trousers.
Lu Xiaoqiao asked doubtfully, "Mr. Zhou isn't going?" She had been wondering why they let him in without changing his clothes.
Li Yuxuan smiled playfully: "The only one who can see Lao Zhou's body is his future wife."
"Ah? You don't need to take off your clothes to take a sauna, just wear this." After saying this, Lu Xiaoqiao pulled at the hot spring suit on her body.
"Even arms and legs can't be exposed. Don't worry about it. Let's go."
Lu Xiaoqiao said awkwardly: "Is that so?"
Then he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Lu Xiaoqiao tried hard to hold back her laughter and frowned in a serious manner, "I'm not laughing! You saw it wrong."
After saying that, he ran away quickly. If he didn't run away and tell him, then Mr. Zhou would be finished in our Northeast.
In winter, you can’t take a bath at home, you have to go to the bathhouse to take a bath. It’s all white inside. If he comes out after taking a bath, he will probably be depressed.
Several people went to the sauna, leaving Zhou Qizhen alone in the private room to work.
When they came out, they each took another shower, chose their dinner on the tablet, and had the staff deliver it to the private room.
Before going to bed, Zhou Qizhen said that he had requested a private room next door and asked the three girls to sleep there.
Even when they were lying on the tatami, Lu Xiaoqiao had not received any calls from Zheng Wen or Li Na. It was estimated that the two of them did not need to discuss it, and they united as one with just one look.
The next day.
When Lu Xiaoqiao opened her eyes, she looked at her phone and found that it was almost ten o'clock. They watched a movie too late yesterday and had a midnight snack, so the three of them fell asleep at around two in the morning. She sat up in a hurry and called out to the two people who were still sleeping soundly next to her.
"Jia, Lin, you two, wake up quickly. It's over! It's almost ten o'clock. It's past time."
They came in around nine o'clock yesterday morning, and the group purchase coupons purchased by the company were valid for 24 hours, which means that they should have left before nine o'clock today. But now it has passed the time, so they must pay the difference themselves.
The two of them seemed to be still asleep and had no intention of getting up. "I'll go see if Mr. Zhou and the others are up. You two should hurry up and get up too."
Lu Xiaoqiao came to the private room next door and knocked on the door twice. It was Zhou Qizhen who opened the door. He was on the phone at the time and he raised his hand to signal her to come in.
After entering, I found that Zhou Qizhen was the only one in the private room, and the other two were gone.
Lu Xiaoqiao sat on the sofa waiting for him to finish his call. Resting here was definitely not as good as at home.
But even so, the man in front of me still looked refreshed, not tired at all, and in excellent condition. Moreover, the clothes he wore were not the same as yesterday. Although they were all dark colors and similar styles, yesterday they were gray, and today they were pure black.
Zhou Qi was about to hang up the phone when he walked to the sofa and looked down at Lu Xiaoqiao who was still a little sleepy and dazed.
"You're still asleep? What time did you go to bed last night?"
Lu Xiaoqiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, yawning and saying, "It's about two in the morning, where are Brother Li and Zhao Zhizhi?"
Looking at her cheeks which were slightly flushed from having just woken up, her watery eyes showed a bit of confusion and innocence.
At this moment, Zhou Qizhen's eyes were full of tenderness and doting, and he wondered how she could be so cute even though she was not fully awake.
His heart became soft because of her, and his tone was extremely doting: "They are having breakfast outside, if you are still sleepy, then sleep for a while."
"No, we've exceeded the time limit. We'll have to pay extra to leave later."
Zhou Qizheng bent down and casually sat down on the sofa next to her, "I'll make arrangements. Come back when you wake up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.
"Hey! Sister Xiao Qiao is awake?!"
