Chapter 74 Before the Graduation Ceremony
When Tokiya returned home and untied her scarf at the entrance, she received a call from the housekeeper of the apartment where she used to live, telling her that all her things had been put away.
"Thank you for your hard work, please."
"You're welcome, Miss Shi. It's our honor to serve you. If you need anything, please contact us. We are at your service 24 hours a day."
Because the space in the car was limited and Sheng Li and she had too many shopping bags, she chose to have the goods delivered to her door.
The guards at Hezheng Garden did not allow unfamiliar license plates or other people to pass through, so to avoid trouble, I registered the address as the apartment where I used to live alone.
Besides, she wasn't in a hurry to use those.
The living room was brightly lit, and the man's coat and leather shoes were neatly arranged in the closet. But after hanging up the phone, Shi Ye didn't see Zhou Junheng by the sofa.
She thought the man was taking a shower in the master bedroom, but there was still no one there.
Working overtime? But she saw that the study was also empty.
I was a little confused and was about to go back to my room to get my phone to send him a message to ask him if he was exercising on the underground floor.
But when I lay on my side again, I heard the sound of dripping water.
Only then did she realize that she had really missed this room, where Zhou Junheng lived in the first few days after their marriage... Since she moved back to the master bedroom, she had really neglected it because it had not been used for so long.
However, how did Zhou Junheng use this bathroom today?
Shi Ye was just about to knock on the door, but he raised his hand and then put it down again, forget it.
Wait until he finishes taking a shower before asking. Not only can I not hear him clearly now because of the sound, but if I get closer, the bathroom glass door that appears and disappears is really not a good place to talk.
She still hasn't forgotten the "scene" of giving honey water and a bathrobe to the man in this room. It's even quite profound.
That dream too.
Thinking of this, I went back to the master bedroom first.
Because the relevant scenes unconsciously emerged in her mind again, Shi Ye's face became more flushed. After taking a bath, she looked at her rosy cheeks and didn't know whether she should attribute it to the hot water.
But I also had this thought last night. Doing this too much is not good for your health... My mind is full of random thoughts.
Shi Ye even felt that she had really changed now. She used to feel embarrassed even when he touched her hand.
Even though we did it yesterday, she has already reacted today. She said it was a small amount and multiple times.
She also felt that she was still pure - it should be related to the environment. When she and Sheng Li were choosing, it was an unintentional hint. After all, the style you are satisfied with must be based on the human body shape... And last time Zhou Junheng deliberately pulled it so big.
Um, “sustainable development”.
"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
"A steady stream of water lasts a long time."
“…”
Classical Chinese, official documents, idioms, she tried to clear her mind.
Push open the door.
When he looked up, the steam rising from the bathroom behind him made Shi Ye feel like he was in a dream.
The man, fresh out of the shower, was no longer his usual demure self, his white shirt buttoned to the top. His black silk robe was loosely tied with the belt, the top of his shirt revealing his alluring collarbone! Every time they collided, she would lower her head and lean on him, the fulcrum from which she witnessed his obsession and madness.
Shi Ye knew from the beginning that Zhou Junheng's temperament and appearance were both superior.
Because the most important eyes seemed to contain light, and his dark pupils that could see through people were both sharp and had a legitimate lineage that could not be ignored. The look he cast was truly filled with emotions that some people could not understand, but it would never appear arrogant, because that was the innate quality of the Creator.
The three-dimensional facial features and smooth jawline make the whole person memorable at a glance, and the outstanding distinctiveness is superior.
Shiya unconsciously licked his dry lips. The winter in Kyoto was still too dry.
The man paused flipping through the documents and looked up at her accurately, "Are you done with your shower?" His slender fingers placed the things aside, and when he stood up, his open collar rose and fell with his movements, revealing the faint lines of his abdominal muscles.
"Let me help you blow dry your hair."
Perhaps due to the moist moisture after the shower, the man's deep voice blended naturally with the woody shower gel on his body, and the remaining rhythm could not be ignored.
"Did you do any shopping when you went shopping with Sheng Li?" Zhou Junheng's fingertips gently stroked her damp hair, occasionally brushing her earlobe unintentionally.
"I bought some clothes."
Zhou Junheng: "There are still too many in the car and you haven't taken them down?"
"No, there were so many clothes that I asked the mall to deliver them directly to my door. It was too troublesome for us, so I simply filled in the apartment's address and asked the housekeeper to connect with it."
The man paused for a moment, "Xiao, are you thinking of moving back there?"
After asking, he felt that the tone of this question was too interrogative, so he took another step back and said, "The old house also needs people. Whenever you want to go over, I'll go with you. We can stay there for a few days."
He added that he was accompanying her.
Because Shi Ye's hair was cut shorter, it was about 70% dry due to the combined effects of the towel and the hair dryer, so Zhou Junheng didn't blow-dry it anymore.
She looked for hair oil on the dressing table, her voice a little low because her attention was elsewhere.
"No, I'm not going back to live there."
"It's not too far from my workplace, but it's too far from yours. There are so many schools there, and there's a lot of traffic jams during the morning rush hour. We'll have to separate."
"Xiaoye, we can't live apart."
Zhou Junheng didn't hear clearly at first, so his first reaction when he heard the word "separation" was to reject the proposal, with a seriousness in his tone that he didn't even realize.
"Have you had any unhappy things happen at home or at work recently?"
"If you think I've done something wrong, you can tell me directly. A cold war during separation will not resolve the relationship or the problem, okay?"
"Is it okay not to separate?"
If the previous sentence was a normal inquiry, the plea in the last sentence would be more obvious.
There was a hint of subtle humility, which was difficult to notice or ignore because this attitude and emotion were rarely seen in Zhou Junheng.
Shi was confused and wondered if the man had heard something wrong.
"I'm not separating. Neither of us is going to live there. It's just that those clothes... aren't really essential, so I sent them over. I haven't thought about moving back there. We're already married, so why would I go back there alone?"
But after Shi Ye finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to understand the tension in the man's words. He was insecure.
She was puzzled because the man always appeared calm and composed before showing himself to others. This kind of mentality was too rare in him, and even a little weird.
The man was half-kneeling on the carpet and holding her hand, which was really a very humble posture.
He loves her.
Other emotions arise from love, and timidity arises from love.
Love goes deep into the bones, even to the point of lowering oneself to the ground.
He was such a proud man, but he always knelt down to her again and again. She was happy about it, but she didn't feel proud or satisfied with it.
Because love is equal, how can anyone put himself in such a low position in a healthy marriage relationship? The balance will tilt and it will not be stable.
Love always makes people do earth-shatteringly stupid things, and Zhou Junheng is no exception.
"Zhou Junheng, you get up first."
The man didn't stand up, so Shi chose to bend down and squat down to hug him.
"I'm sorry I didn't explain it clearly just now and caused you to misunderstand. I don't want to separate. I still remember the communication between my mother and my lover. Even if we have problems and conflicts in the future, I will not adopt this cold war mode."
"Also, I'm sorry for making you feel insecure about our relationship."
"But now I also hope you can tell me honestly, did you already know me before that graduation ceremony before the wedding? Or have you been paying attention to me?"
