Chapter 11: Like abs?
next day
The alarm of the mobile phone on the bedside rang on time. Xu Xian closed his eyes and fumbled around. The moment he touched the screen, he turned off the alarm with his body memory, turned over and went back to sleep peacefully.
After a while, a strange noise came from the quiet room. Xu Xian opened his eyes quickly. His sleepy eyes were very clear, mixed with a hint of fear.
She jumped up, reached out to pick up the phone on the bedside table, clicked it and checked the time. It was 9:05.
She didn't sleep well last night, tossing and turning, and fell asleep in a daze. She set an alarm clock, and it came in handy.
Looking through the messages on his phone, Xu Xian discovered that there was one more person in the new friend group. Jiang Shibai’s WeChat was lying quietly in there, and it was a friend request that was added in the middle of the night last night.
Seeing this, she quickly passed it and waited for the boss to add WeChat. She was also living her life to the fullest.
I just passed it and changed my name, and the other party sent me a message in less than a minute.
Boss: [Are you up yet?]
Xianxian: [Just woke up. (JPG)]
Jiang Shibai was sitting in the living room working. He smiled helplessly when he saw the message. He had been waiting for the whole morning, but the other person was still sleeping.
Boss: [Then I'll come pick you up now. What would you like to eat?]
Xu Xian blinked his eyes. What to eat?
How could she have the heart to eat?
Xianxian: [I'm not hungry, I won't eat breakfast.]
She often skips breakfast and she's almost used to it.
There was a long pause over there. Jiang Shibai only replied after Xu Xian finished washing up.
Boss: [How about a sandwich?]
Xu Xian paused as she packed her luggage. She wasn't even given a chance to choose! The boss told her to go east, but would she dare to go west?
Xianxian: [Sure.]
After sending the message, Xu Xian stopped looking at her phone and concentrated on packing her luggage. She had a lot of small belongings scattered around, and she planned to leave them all here. She signed a one-year contract for the rental house, and it had only been half a year and hadn't expired yet.
She didn't plan to bring too many clothes with her, so that she could run away easily in case of divorce.
Xu Xian, intending to leave at any time, spent most of the day packing. He only packed a small suitcase, emptied and threw away the contents of the refrigerator, and cut off the water and electricity.
When I looked at my phone again, Jiang Shibai's car had already arrived downstairs.
Boss: [Which floor do you live on?]
Xianxian: [Fifth floor.]
After a while, Xu Xian was checking the room to see if there was anything she had missed when she heard a knock on the door. She hurried to open it.
Jiang Shibai was not wearing formal clothes. His gray casual clothes made him look taller. The tall man of over 1.8 meters was blocking the doorway, tightly wrapped. His superior figure was hidden under the clothes and was not very obvious.
"Have you finished cleaning up?" Jiang Shibai's stern brows softened a little and he asked in a low voice.
Xu Xian quickly stepped aside to let him in, "Just a little bit more."
Her electronic devices were not yet in her bag.
Jiang Shibai didn't react at all when he heard that. He walked in calmly. When he heard Xu Xian say that there was no need to change shoes, he stepped straight in. What he saw was a slightly narrow room.
The whole room is filled with all kinds of small colorful items. It is small and warm, and reveals the girl's thoughts everywhere. The cream-colored room gives people a very comfortable feeling.
"Please sit on the sofa for a while. I'll go to the room to get the computer." Xu Xian was a little reserved. This was obviously her home.
I don’t know if it was because the man was too tall or her room was too small, but as soon as he walked in, the whole room felt even more compact, even giving people the illusion that there was no place to step, even though her house was obviously not messy and was very tidy.
"Okay." Jiang Shibai replied softly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xian immediately went into the room, put the computer tablet charging cables and other items into his bag one by one, took a look around, and walked out of the room after making sure nothing was left out.
Jiang Shibai didn't sit down. His tall figure stood in front of her photo wall. His back was broad and solid, which gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
Xu Xian's mind buzzed, and her cheeks suddenly turned a light pink. She hurried over and almost bumped into the corner of the table. Her small photo wall was full of photos of male celebrities with beautiful abdominal muscles, which was both lustful and erotic.
Jiang Shibai heard the noise and turned around. He met the panicked eyes with a half-smile and said in a faint voice, "Do you like abdominal muscles?"
Xu Xian stopped, his curled eyelashes trembling slightly, his mind spinning wildly as he tried to think of a response.
"Uh—pure admiration, pure admiration. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any special fetishes."
There is nothing more socially dead than this.
She really doesn't have any special fetishes. These photos of male celebrities' abdominal muscles were specially arranged by her bestie after she moved into the rental house. She said that since she doesn't have a boyfriend, it's nice to look at photos of abdominal muscles.
She was busy during that time and didn't care about it. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shibai saw it and now she couldn't escape the label of being a slut.
Jiang Shibai's face was expressionless. He glanced at the photo on the wall, said "Oh" without understanding the meaning, and asked, "Only one suitcase and one backpack?"
Xu Xian only felt her cheeks getting hot. If there was a crack in the ground, she would definitely crawl into it. His tone was more hurtful than teasing her. She didn't even know what he was thinking.
"Only these two."
Her voice was very low, and her face was almost buried in her clothes. Seeing this, Jiang Shibai twisted his fingers unconsciously. He did not tease her, but when he heard her answer, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
You have so little luggage, do you want to leave at any time?
"Where are your Chinese medicines?" Jiang Shibai glanced at the refrigerator.
Xu Xian felt a chill down her spine. When she was emptying the refrigerator just now, she had thought of throwing the Chinese medicine away directly, but she was afraid that Jiang Shibai would find out, so she stuffed it back into the refrigerator. Then she could just say that she forgot to take it out and not drink it.
Now it seems impossible.
Xu Xian ignored Jiang Shibai's indifferent gaze and ran to the refrigerator to get the Chinese medicine, waving it in front of him as if to seek credit.
Jiang Shibai noticed something was wrong at a glance. The bag containing the medicine had not been opened at all and was still tied in the same way as yesterday.
It seems that she doesn't like Chinese medicine.
"Let's go." Jiang Shibai picked up the not-too-heavy suitcase and reached out to take the backpack and medicine from her hand.
The three items seemed insignificant in his hands and he carried them out the door with ease.
Xu Xian, who was standing there in a daze, immediately followed him out and locked the door.
Seeing him carrying two pieces of luggage by himself, Xu Xian felt a little sorry, "Please give me the bag."
After she finished speaking, she opened her palm towards him.
Jiang Shibai was carrying a bag on one shoulder, with his hand on the handle. He lowered his eyes to look at the palm of his hand hanging in the air. There were not many lines on his palm, and it was a healthy pink color. It was small and slender.
He didn't say anything, but stared at her quietly for a long time, his dark eyes becoming darker.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xian looked at her palms in confusion. Her hands were not dirty!
The next second, the soft and boneless hand was held tightly by a pair of dry and broad hands, which applied a little force, leaving her no room to break free.
"Go home, Mrs. Jiang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shibai smiled and took the confused Xu Xian downstairs, not giving her any time to react.
The two walked one in front and one behind. Xu Xian looked at the tall figure in front of him, a little dazed for a moment, completely forgetting to struggle, and stupidly followed him down the stairs.
After getting into the car, Xu Xian realized that Jiang Shibai had just held her hand.
Holding hands is not a particularly intimate act, but I feel a little shy for no reason. There is no love between them, so holding hands seems inappropriate.
This small and intimate gesture is more suitable for lovers with an emotional foundation.
Jiang Shibai didn't know what she was thinking. He calmly handed the breakfast to her and asked, holding two bottles of milk, "Do you like sweet milk or unsweetened?"
"Sweet." Xu Xian blinked, came back to his senses, and slightly opened his red lips.
She has a sweet tooth and never drinks tasteless milk.
Jiang Shibai tore open the plastic shell of the disposable straw, inserted the transparent straw into the milk, and handed it to Xu Xian with a gentle expression.
"Drink it."
"Thanks!"
Xu Xian stretched out her hand, and her slender white fingers accidentally touched the side of his palm. The scorching temperature brought her thoughts back to the scene just now. She subconsciously shrank back for a moment, pretending to be calm and took it, lowering her head to suck the milk, not daring to look into the eyes of the person next to her.
Jiang Shibai took in her every move, his secretive eyes dotted with smiles, like the stars in the Milky Way.
He didn't make any more excessive moves, started the car, and drove seriously with both hands on the steering wheel.
