Chapter 31 They were making out in the middle of the night.
Shang Wu's brows relaxed slightly.
No wonder there was no sound along the way; it turns out they arrived here ahead of time.
She said that Chenmian learned yesterday that Zhou Yanci was going to celebrate her birthday with her, so how could she not cause trouble and try to get attention?
Chenmian's meddling here is even better than her one-on-one contact with Zhou Yanci.
Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back and would vomit it out right in front of Zhou Yanci.
Shang Wu unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and went over to greet them as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Chen? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Chenmian smiled warmly, tucked her hair behind her ear, and strode over.
"I've recently finished my work and wanted to come here to relax and enjoy the scenery. I didn't expect to run into you guys here. What brings you and A-Ci here...?"
Zhou Yanci followed quietly and gently took Shang Wu's hand: "Today is A-Wu's birthday, I came here to keep her company."
"I see, Miss Shang. Happy birthday." Chen Mian offered a perfunctory blessing, her gaze falling on their clasped hands, her expression turning somewhat sour.
Shang Wu smiled softly.
"Thank you. Since it's such a coincidence, let's stay at the guesthouse together today. Yanci, could you help Miss Chen with her luggage? I'll take mine myself."
She turned and went to the car.
Zhou Yanci's expression changed slightly, and she immediately wanted to follow.
"A-ci?"
Behind her, a soft, coquettish voice came from her sleep.
"They have too much luggage, can you help them?"
Zhou Yanci's gaze followed Shang Wu for a few seconds before turning back and questioning in a low voice, "Why did you come here today? You know I'm here to celebrate Shang Wu's birthday."
"Just because you gave her a place, does that mean I can't stay here? Or am I being a third wheel, disturbing your time together, and that's making you unhappy?"
She was on the verge of tears, biting her lip and helplessly twisting her fingers.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Zhou Yanci suddenly noticed that she was wearing a pink knitted dress, and her gentle and lovely appearance was exactly the same as when she was in college.
He recalled his sweet romance with Shen Mian during college, and his heart immediately softened.
Zhou Yan spoke gently, soothingly saying, "I'm just worried that our relationship might be exposed. Be careful not to get caught later. Go upstairs to your room."
Chenmian pouted, somewhat reluctant to give them some space, but fearing that Zhou Yanci would be unhappy, she had no choice but to compromise.
By the time Shang Wu arrived with her luggage, the person had already gone inside.
She asked in confusion, "Why did Miss Shen leave first?"
"She went back to rest, don't worry about her."
Zhou Yanci helped her carry her luggage over.
Whether it was out of guilt or not, Shang Wu could sense that Zhou Yanci seemed to be more attentive and enthusiastic.
She didn't pay attention and followed Zhou Yanci inside.
The guesthouse owner came over and explained that the guesthouse was originally designed for three people, but since they only booked two rooms, the other room was given to other people.
Shang Wu said she didn't care at all. After going upstairs, she tidied up and took a shower.
When she came out, the room was empty.
Shang Wu dried her hair and walked slowly to the door, where she heard faint voices coming from the corridor outside.
"I don't care, you just have to find a way to come and keep me company tonight."
She's sleeping and being affectionate.
Zhou Yanci took a deep breath, sounding somewhat impatient: "Baby, can you find another place to make a scene? Today is Shang Wu's birthday, and I've been with her for the past three years. There's no reason for her to leave today."
"Am I not a reason? If you want to see me, you can come no matter what. Refusing me is just making excuses!" Chenmian's tone sounded somewhat sad.
Zhou Yanci remained silent for a moment, then finally softened: "Okay, I'll try my best."
Is it that difficult?
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow.
It would be incredibly cruel of her not to help this loving couple.
A minute later, Zhou Yanci pushed open the door and came in.
Shang Wu sat at the table drying her hair, her back to him. When she heard the voice, she asked, "Yan Ci, are you back?"
"Hmm. I went out to check out the surroundings while you were taking a shower. This guesthouse is nice; the courtyard is very pretty."
Zhou Yanci leaned closer and got up to smell her hair.
Shang Wu froze for a moment.
She turned around, revealing a perfectly timed expression of embarrassment: "Words, I..."
"What's wrong? Tell me." Zhou Yanci smiled and took the towel from her hand, helping her dry her hair.
Shang Wu looked regretful: "I'm on my period, and I didn't bring any painkillers this time, so I might have to go straight to sleep later."
"Sleep? What about the birthday party tonight? Ji Yu and the others are all coming over." Zhou Yanci frowned.
Shang Wu forced a smile: "You know, I'm always uncomfortable during my period. This is just a coincidence. Tell them to stay home. There's no need to celebrate for me."
Zhou Yanci inevitably felt disappointed.
He forced a smile: "Then you should get some rest. I'll sleep in the living room tonight and won't bother you."
Shang Wu smiled, her eyes crinkling, completely unguarded: "Okay."
She watched Zhou Yanci leave.
Zhou Yanci hadn't taken two steps when she paused again, took down the suit jacket hanging behind the door, and pulled a few things out of the pocket.
Shang Wu watched until the person left, then she went over and patted her pocket again.
She touched a small, square, and somewhat cold piece of wrapping paper.
Shang Wu pinched it between two fingers and took it out.
The packaging clearly states: Safe Condoms.
She scoffed, shoved it back in, and then closed and locked the door.
The two outside are destined for a tumultuous night.
Shang Wu walked to the window, sat down, and looked at the sky outside.
It got dark, and Zhou Yanci came upstairs to call her to eat and cut the cake.
Shang Wu did not respond, pretending to be fast asleep.
The people outside did not continue to disturb them.
Looking at the starry sky outside the window, Shang Wu whispered, "Happy birthday, Shang Wu. Thank you for bringing me into this world, Mom."
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang in his pocket.
It's exactly twelve o'clock.
Ji Yu sent her a perfunctory blessing, and employees from various departments in the work group also came out to offer their blessings.
Shang Wu pretended to be asleep and couldn't reply. She silently read all the birthday wishes, then exited the chat and found that someone had sent her the message "Happy Birthday".
She paused slightly and clicked on the other person's chat profile.
The profile picture is black, the background image is also black, there is no standard gender, and the name is just a decimal point.
Shang Wu racked her brains but still couldn't figure out who this person was. She clearly didn't have the habit of deleting chat history, and she didn't remember when she added this person, nor was there any chat history on her phone.
She couldn't help but reply, "Thank you for your blessing, but who are you?"
The other party has not replied for a long time.
Shang Wu didn't pay much attention. She got up and felt thirsty. She searched the room but couldn't find any water, so she put down her phone and prepared to go out to find some water.
She secretly opened the door a crack and found it quiet outside. Light was leaking from the room where she slept, so she breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the sofa.
Shang Wu froze, quickly squatted down, and only peered out after two seconds.
Chen Mian was wearing an extremely short nightgown and was embracing Zhou Yanci, teasing him with great initiative.
Through the back of the sofa, Shang Wu couldn't see Zhou Yanci's expression or reaction clearly. She felt that if she kept looking, she would get a sty, so she went back to her room and closed the door.
downstairs.
Neither of them knew that Shang Wu had come out.
Zhou Yanci closed his eyes, feeling that Chenmian was trying hard to arouse his interest.
But he felt nothing at all. When he closed his eyes, all he could think about was Shang Wu.
He was about to dump Shang Wu; he'd never slept with her even once.
Every time Zhou Yanci smelled the fragrance of Shang Wu's hair and body, she felt an irresistible urge.
He didn't know when Chenmian had become so clueless about his preferences.
He hates the smell of white tea, and has been using it for sleep lately.
Chenmian lowered her head again, wanting to kiss Zhou Yanci's lips.
Zhou Yanci smelled the aroma of white tea again and immediately turned her head away.
Chenmian missed her target and stared at him in astonishment: "Aci, you..."
"I'm a little tired. I rushed around too much today." Zhou Yanci sat up, pushed her away, and frowned in annoyance.
Chenmian smiled nonchalantly, then coiled around Zhou Yanci like a water snake and put her arm around his shoulder.
"How about I give you a massage? Where does it hurt? Your shoulders, neck, or back?"
The closer she got, the more impatient Zhou Yanci became.
He stood up abruptly and said calmly, "I'm going upstairs to sleep. You should get some rest too."
His slumbering face darkened, but returned to normal in an instant.
She bit her lip, pointing aggrievedly at the several condoms on the table.
"You brought this all along, why are you backing out now? Don't you have feelings for me, or are you thinking about Shang Wu?"
Zhou Yanci disliked being questioned so aggressively.
His tone turned colder: "I told you, I'm just too tired to be in the mood, it has nothing to do with Shang Wu. Besides, it's her birthday today, I should be upstairs with her now, so she won't get suspicious."
Chenmian wanted to speak again, but Zhou Yanci walked away on her own.
Watching his retreating figure go upstairs, Chenmian was so angry that her breathing became rapid. She grabbed the condom and threw it into the trash can.
"Liar, Zhou Yanci, you big liar!"
Her intuition was right.
Zhou Yanci had no interest in spending time with Shang Wu because of her.
On this day, how could Shang Wu be willing to sleep and not pester Zhou Yanci to celebrate her birthday with her?
This bastard is using a feigned retreat as a tactic.
That's why Zhou Yanci was thinking of her even when they were being intimate!
His slumbering gaze gradually turned cold.
If she doesn't snatch Zhou Yanci away today, she's not a Shen!
Chenmian angrily grabbed a cushion, threw it hard on the sofa, and turned to go upstairs.
Inside the room.
Shang Wu was pretending to be asleep.
After the door opened, footsteps gradually approached.
She grew impatient.
They were getting really into it, why did they suddenly go upstairs?
“A-Wu”.
Zhou Yanci called Shang Wu's name by the bedside, and when she didn't respond, she pushed her directly.
Left with no other choice, Shang Wu could only open his eyes and sit up, feigning drowsiness.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Zhou Yanci smiled, her eyes focused and bright even in the darkness.
He stared intently at Shang Wu and said softly, "Make room for me, I'll go up and sleep with you."
Shang Wu froze, almost losing her drowsy state.
She said calmly, "Didn't you say you wanted to sleep in the living room?"
I miss you, I want to hold you while I sleep.
Without saying a word, Zhou Yanci threw off the covers and lay down on the bed.
As he approached, a scent of white tea that didn't belong to him wafted over.
