Chapter 43 Handsome guy wet picture
next day
When Xu Xian woke up, there was no one on the bed next to him, and the sheets beside him were cold.
I checked the time on my phone and saw it was just past six. Luckily I didn’t oversleep.
Just as he was about to get up, the door was pushed open from the outside and Jiang Shibai, dressed in a grey sportswear, walked into the bedroom. The room was dim and Xu Xian could only see his tall silhouette through the light from the corridor.
When Jiang Shibai saw the light of the mobile phone on the bedside table, he knew she was awake, so he walked over and opened the curtains.
The dim light of early morning fell into the house, and Xu Xian could see Jiang Shibai's appearance clearly.
His handsome face was flushed, and the sports shirt on his chest was mostly wet, sticking tightly to his body. The well-defined chest muscles underneath were particularly conspicuous. As his breathing rate rose and fell, sticky sweat stained his skin, as if he had been soaked in a swimming pool.
The loose hair hanging down in front of his forehead perfectly reveals his inherent laziness.
"What time is dinner?" Xu Xian's voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up. His eyes were half closed, and he wanted to take a nap.
Last night, she was in an unfamiliar environment, and not only did she go to bed late, she also felt uneasy. Otherwise, she would definitely stay in bed like she did on weekends.
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Shibai asked as he entered the cloakroom.
"No, I'm afraid that if I get up late, it will leave a bad impression on your family."
Jiang Shibai paused when he heard this, and silently pulled the corner of his lip, "Mrs. Jiang, there aren't so many rules in this old house. Sleeping in is your right, you don't have to be so considerate."
"Go back to sleep! We finally have a weekend."
After saying that, he turned his toes and closed the curtains that he had just opened, and the room became dark again.
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment and lay back in bed. Since he said it was no problem, she didn't bother to argue.
I'm so sleepy.
But although her body was very sleepy, her mind was extremely clear, and her mind was full of the scene of Jiang Shibai just entering the room.
What a handsome guy’s wet picture.
When Jiang Shibai came out with a change of clothes, Xu Xian asked faintly, "Are you going for a run?"
How could she not know that Jiang Shibai had the habit of jogging in the morning? Every time she got up in the morning in Repulse Bay, he was already sitting at the dining table. It didn't look like he had gotten up early to run.
"I'm usually busy with work, and I occasionally exercise in the morning. I usually don't miss it on weekends." In the dark environment, Jiang Shibai's voice seemed to be shrouded in black fog, and it was not very clear, but it fell clearly into Xu Xian's ears.
After a pause, he whispered, "Is Mrs. Jiang interested in joining us?"
He doesn't have the habit of exercising every day. After all, the work pressure is too high, and he is not an iron wall and cannot withstand running and fitness every day.
"Thank you! No need to invite me." Xu Xian pulled the quilt on his body to cover his mouth, and his voice sounded muffled.
She is not that self-disciplined. When she thinks about the workers getting up early every day to run, she feels that there is no hope for the day.
"Hehe, little lazy bum." Jiang Shibai teased her.
Xu Xian snorted heavily, obviously not accepting the title he gave her.
He is the lazy bum.
When this nap was over, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. Xu Xian did not see Jiang Shibai in the room, so he changed into a more gentle dress and went downstairs.
The long light pink dress made her look particularly cute and soft, and her cold face became obedient.
Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, was dazzled by her outfit. Her gaze then fell on her flat belly and she smiled meaningfully.
"Xianxian, get up!"
"I'm so sorry, grandma, I got up late." Xu Xian didn't expect that Madam Jiang was sitting in the living room, and smiled embarrassedly.
She was woken up by hunger and wanted to go downstairs to the kitchen to find food, but unexpectedly she met Mrs. Jiang.
"It's good that you got up late!" Mrs. Jiang blurted out with a smile, then realized she had made a mistake and immediately changed the subject, "What would you like to eat? Ask the kitchen to make it for you."
Breakfast time at the Jiang family's old house is seven o'clock in the morning, and more than two hours have passed.
When Xu Xian heard the first half of the sentence, he was stunned at first, and then his cheeks turned slightly red. Would he be misunderstood if he got up late?
"I'm not picky about food. I eat whatever is available."
Her mind completely shut down and she answered casually.
Jiang Shibai is a big troublemaker. It was his fault last night and it was his fault this morning.
But why is she the one facing the ridicule!!!
Aunt Liu immediately said, "Lunch time is almost here. Let's make a small Chinese breakfast for the young lady. I heard from the young master that you like noodles recently. Would a lighter shredded pork noodle soup be okay?"
Facing the two ambiguous looks, Xu Xian nodded without thinking.
It doesn’t matter what she eats anymore. She just wants to find Jiang Shibai and beat him up.
Aunt Liu entered the kitchen, while Xu Xian sat down next to Madam Jiang and chatted with her.
When she learned that the nanny at Repulse Bay had taken leave recently and that they had to cook for themselves on weekdays, a gleam of light flashed in Mrs. Jiang's eyes.
She was worried that she couldn't find an opportunity to find out whether their relationship was as loving as it seemed, and this was the opportunity that came to her.
"How about this, I'll let Aunt Liu go over and take care of you for a while. You two are busy with work, so how can you have the energy to make breakfast and dinner?"
Xu Xian panicked and her eyelashes trembled. Was she digging a hole and burying herself in it?
"This--" She hesitated.
She and Jiang Shibai sleep in separate rooms. If Aunt Liu goes to work in Repulse Bay, they will have to live in the same room.
Seeing the expectant look in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, she couldn't refuse.
The next second, Jiang Shibai appeared in the living room, wearing a white sweatshirt, rubbing his sore brows, and it seemed that he had just finished working in the study.
"Shi Bai." Xu Xian called him in surprise.
Jiang Shibai looked up in surprise. It was the first time he heard her calling his name so actively.
But there is no need to be polite.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shibai walked over.
Seeing this, Madam Jiang repeated what she had just said, "You two must not get sick, otherwise I, an old lady, will not be able to sleep well. If Aunt Liu doesn't come to take care of you, I will definitely not be able to sleep or eat well."
Seeing his grandmother start acting again, Jiang Shibai felt a little helpless, but this suggestion was to his liking.
"Since you are worried, grandma, let Aunt Liu come for a while. When the aunt at home comes back, let her come back to take care of you."
After these words were spoken, unlike Madam Jiang who was delighted, Xu Xian had a dazed look on his face, his eyes full of disbelief, and his eyeballs almost popped out.
After breakfast and returning to the room, she began to ask why. "Why did you agree? If Aunt Liu lives in Repulse Bay, we can't sleep in separate rooms."
And they have to pretend to be loving at home.
"Mrs. Jiang is so unwilling to sleep in the same room with me?" Jiang Shibai asked back with interest.
"Jiang Shibai, this is not the point." Xu Xian glared at him angrily, his fox eyes showing a bit more innocence.
"So what's the point?"
"The point is that if Aunt Liu comes over, we have to keep acting like a loving couple." She got a headache just thinking about it.
Sooner or later, the act of affection will reveal flaws.
Jiang Shibai's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was neither hurried nor slow, as if he had thought of a solution. "Then Mrs. Jiang needs to hone your acting skills."
"Besides, grandma has already brought it up. It's not appropriate to refuse her. What if she doesn't eat or sleep well? How can we, as the younger generation, feel at ease?"
Hearing Jiang Shibai using Old Madam Jiang to pressure her, Xu Xian stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.
Does he look like such an obedient grandson?
