Last night, he slept alone on the big bed in the study. That bed was the same size as this one and was also his private space, but he tossed and turned for most of the night, only managing to doze off briefly just before dawn.
Now, as he held her in his arms again, his heart, which had been restless all day, miraculously calmed down the moment she buried her head in his chest and nuzzled against him.
Those two scarves...
Thinking of the culprit who had caused the rift between him and her, Yan Shao's eyes dimmed noticeably. He let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and tried his best to banish all those distant memories from his mind...
...
Zhu Qianying slept very well that night. In her dream, she felt as if she was snuggled up in bed with a heater, comfortably surfing the internet and reading books. The heater was probably a brand new smart model, and it even had a tickling function.
She felt a slight itch on her back and groaned. The heater then sprouted warm, large claws that gently scratched her back. Not long after, she felt a slight itch on her thigh and murmured something. The warm, large claws then gently swept across her thigh.
This thing, which resembles both a heater and a large pet, allowed Zhu Qianying to sleep soundly through the night.
The next day, she woke up groggily, but didn't open her eyes immediately.
She seemed to still be holding that warm stove tightly in her arms, feeling a languid ease like being enveloped in the warm spring sun, making her unwilling to wake up.
In her daze, she silently told herself that since there was nothing to do after waking up, she might as well take advantage of the warm sunshine in her dream and have a good long dream.
It wasn't until she felt a warm touch on her lips and face that she vaguely realized something was wrong.
I opened my eyes groggily and was met with a pair of dark, deep eyes.
"Awake? Still sleeping?" the owner of the eyes asked in a low, slightly hoarse voice.
Zhu Qianying's mind was like a rusty gear; no matter how hard she tried to turn it, it remained stuck in place and could not be started.
Seeing her staring at him with her sleepy eyes wide open, the man found her incredibly adorable. He lowered his head, first rubbing his forehead against hers, and then giving her a light, fleeting kiss on the tip of her nose.
His gentle touch and kiss finally pushed the gears that had been stuck in her head, causing her to turn her face away and slightly increase the distance between them.
"What are you doing here?" His tone unconsciously carried a hint of disdain.
She stayed up reading until 1 a.m. last night before going to sleep, and he was nowhere to be seen at that time.
So she assumed he was sleeping in the study's lounge again, just like the night before.
"This is our bed..." the man smiled and leaned in to kiss her again, "Shall we get up?"
Zhu Qianying's face flushed, she propped herself up with her hands, turned around, and carried him off the bed.
"Ah! It's nine o'clock!"
When her gaze inadvertently swept over the wall clock, she couldn't help but chime softly.
Yan Shao threw back the covers, strode over, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and asked, "Did you make an appointment?"
Zhu Qianying turned her head and gave him a strange look. "I didn't make any appointments, but aren't you supposed to be at work?"
Yan Shao tightened his grip on her waist, pulling her closer to him. "It's a day off today, where do you want to go? I'll go with you!"
Zhu Qianying opened her mouth slightly, looking at him in great surprise.
Did she mishear?
A smile unconsciously crept into Yan Shao's eyes. He leaned over and gently nibbled on her slightly parted lips, then released her, patted her bottom, and laughed.
"Are you crazy? Go wash up. I'm going out with you today. You can go wherever you want, it's all up to you!"
Zhu Qianying stared at him blankly, thinking, "Holy crap!"
This handsome and gentle man, who is like an oppa from a soap opera, is really the same cold-hearted young master she knows who always seems to have a built-in cooling system and is unpredictable in mood.
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Yan Shao took her shoulder and pushed her into the washroom.
"What? Do you want me to brush your teeth and wash your face for you?" Zhu Qianying's silly standing in front of the sink made Yan Shao even more amused.
He pretended to get her a toothbrush, but as he reached out, he tilted his head and looked at her, asking recklessly, "Honey, do you want mint toothpaste or orange toothpaste?"
Zhu Qianying then realized that this old rogue was subtly insulting her for being like a little kid, and even using orange toothpaste!
"roll……"
Startled awake, Zhu Qianying kicked the person behind her.
The old rogue watched with satisfaction as her pretty face instantly flushed red in the mirror. He lowered his head and lightly bit her red, bleeding earlobe before she could lash out, and quickly "rolled" out of the bathroom.
After washing up, Zhu Qianying went straight into the dressing room to change. Since he said he would go out with her, she didn't hesitate. Anyway, it was really boring to be stuck at home alone.
Although he may not be a good companion, the two of them will be spending a lot of time together in the future, so going out for a stroll and having fun together occasionally can be considered as cultivating their revolutionary friendship!
The weather has been getting weirder and weirder lately. It should be the coldest time of winter, but after a few days of drizzle, the weather has cleared up these past two days. Surprisingly, you can wear a thin sweater and a light jacket all you need.
Zhu Qianying came out wearing a black thin sweater and her usual tight jeans, with a light gray coat on top. Yan Shao, who was sitting on the bed, looked her up and down a few times, then silently went into the dressing room.
Zhu Qianying didn't wait for him and went downstairs directly because it was already this late and she was starving.
By the time Young Master Yan came down, she had already eaten half of her breakfast. As she was munching on a steamed bun, she looked up and saw Young Master Yan dressed up. Caught off guard, she coughed loudly.
"Is he that handsome?" Young Master Yan raised an eyebrow at her and bent down to scan her back.
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him, and Yan Shao, with a smile on his face, pulled out a chair next to her and sat down.
Zhu Qianying finally caught her breath, raised an eyebrow, and asked in an annoyed tone, "What's the meaning of dressing like this?"
Zhu Qianying glanced at his clothes, which were in the same color scheme and style as hers, and had to admit that she was not only moved to tears by his handsomeness, but also deeply shocked!
"Matching outfits! You didn't know?!"
Yan Shao picked up his tea and took a sip in a very good mood, thinking to himself, "It seems that Uncle Hai's suggestion was quite useful."
"Young master, shall we arrange a driver for you?"
Meanwhile, Uncle Hai, blinded by the sight of the young master and mistress dressed in matching outfits, couldn't hide the smile in his eyes and asked...
"No need, I'll drive myself!" Young Master Yan replied very quickly.
She reached out, took a piece of bread, spread jam on it, and handed it to Zhu Qianying. "Where do you want to go later? You can go somewhere further if you want!"
Zhu Qianying was very puzzled. What exactly happened after she fell asleep last night? Who exactly was this man wearing Yan Shao's mask?
Damn it!
Isn't she so gentle?
Isn't that incredibly thoughtful?
