Chapter 169 "Hangover headache?"
Mu Jia's face turned red instantly, and his whole body seemed to have been pulled out of his bones, and he fell limp in Xie Siyan's arms.
She clearly felt the heat coming from the man's chest.
The steady and powerful heartbeat "boom, boom, boom", each beat seemed to declare his devotion.
Two years ago, she chose to leave with the conditions given by Cheng Yu. She would never have thought that one day she would return to this embrace in such a manner. At that time, she naively thought that as long as she left, she could cut off everything.
It turns out that it cannot be cut off.
Xie Siyan's slender fingers went around her hair and pressed on the back of her neck.
This seemingly gentle action made her tremble all over. Mu Jia couldn't help but grab the collar of his shirt. Only when he was released did she realize what she was doing.
She suddenly distanced herself from him and covered her face.
Xie Siyan had already stood up, his fingers casually picking up the suit jacket beside him, as if to tell the others present, "Let's go."
Naturally, no one in the audience dared to say anything.
It looks like if they don’t leave now, they won’t be able to continue watching the following content.
"Brother, sister-in-law, go slowly on the road."
Mu Jia's face flushed, and he quickly lowered his head and followed Xie Siyan out without even bothering to say hello.
Wait until the two figures disappear from sight.
Everyone in the box suddenly realized - no wonder Xie Siyan came to the game for the first time tonight, and did not stop even when the whiskey was finished. He was so approachable and seemed to be in a good mood.
Mu Jia took the money and left, which not only frustrated Xie Siyan's feelings, but also made him lose face in the entire circle.
In this extravagant upper-class circle, no information is impenetrable. Over time, most people can get some information about Western Australia.
Cheng Yu used money to settle Xie Siyan's affair with Bai Yueguang, but the other party decisively chose to leave for his career, took the money and left. In two years, everything he should know and shouldn't know was basically known. There was also gossip, and countless versions of the story were exaggerated. Even if Xie Siyan was aloof and indifferent to the world, could he really be immune to it? Could he not care about such things at all?
And now, what could be more satisfying than the person who abandoned you in the past lowering himself and coming back to you?
——
The gilded door at the first-floor entrance of the Jinyue Club slowly closed behind them, isolating them from the decadence and extravagance inside.
The night wind of late autumn comes with a chill.
Mu Jia shuddered unconsciously and looked up at the tall figure in front of him.
After walking out of the club, he casually put on a suit jacket with a neatly dressed shirt underneath. He walked very quickly and did not look like he was drunk at all.
"Xie Siyan!"
Mu Jia trotted down the stairs, a little out of breath.
The night wind ruffled her hair, and the cuffs of her sweater were slightly bulged by the wind.
The man in front finally stopped and turned around. The neon lights cast an illusory halo over his silhouette, like a silhouette that could disappear at any moment. Mu Jia stopped three steps away from him and pointed, "My car... is parked on the other side."
They were going in the wrong direction.
The ambiguous and warm atmosphere in the box just now was blown away by the night wind. Mu Jia felt a little awkward walking beside him.
She saw his hand hanging by his side, the hand with distinct joints and wrist bones, shining a cold white light under the street light.
Mu Jia was just thinking about whether he should take the initiative to go forward and hold the hand. As soon as this thought came to his mind, Mu Jia felt the tips of his ears getting hot.
She curled her fingers quietly, and tiny wrinkles appeared on the cuffs of her sweater.
Just as he was hesitating, Xie Siyan suddenly turned around, his deep voice wrapped in the coolness of the night breeze, "Have you learned it?"
Mu Jia subconsciously froze in his tracks.
It took me two seconds to realize what he was asking.
Have you learned it?
She, as a student, had watched the [teaching video] he sent her, but she was still struggling to learn...
A scene flashed through Mu Jia's mind. In an instant, his cheeks burned so badly that he forgot where he had gone.
Fortunately, the two of them had already reached the edge of the parking lot on the right, and Mu Jia's white car was parked diagonally in front of them.
Xie Siyan didn't continue to question her, but walked straight towards the target vehicle.
"How do you know..."
Mu Jia watched as he stopped in front of a car.
Xie Siyan scoffed lightly, remaining noncommittal. It wasn't until he sat in the passenger seat, his well-defined hands securely fastening the seatbelt, that the man turned his head and said in a calm voice, "License plate number."
Mu Jia realized later that the license plate of the car was her birthday.
When is Xie Siyan’s birthday...?
I have no impression at all.
Mu Jia sighed in her heart, probably no one pursued someone like her.
"You haven't answered the question I asked you just now." The eyes behind the glasses were dim and unclear, and his lips were stretched into a straight arc. He could probably tell what she was thinking. He turned slightly to the side, picked up the seat belt with his hand, and fastened it for her, but it didn't look like helping her, but more like tying her up.
The scent of cedar enveloped her, and the jade-like hands stopped at her chin and pinched it.
There was a dull pain. "It seems that more teaching is needed."
There was a loud bang in Mu Jia's head, like a firework exploding, and she stared blankly into his eyes.
After Xie Siyan finished speaking, he did not take any further action. Instead, he let go of her body and sat up straight.
As if making up his mind—
This time I have to wait for her to pursue me actively.
——
The next day.
The morning light shines into the office through the blinds.
Mu Jia stood in front of the elevator, his fingertips hovering above the top floor button, pausing slightly.
I tossed and turned last night, and the scene in front of the club came to my mind again. Xie Siyan's words "Have you learned it?" were like a spell.
Mu Jia understood that he was probably urging him.
She lowered her head and looked at the thermos in her hand. Inside was the pear soup she had made early today. The lid was on, but the outer wall of the cup was still warm, and there was still a hint of steam when she opened it.
With a "ding——" sound.
The sound of the elevator door opening startled Mu Jia.
The corridor was now empty. Most people were in the office area, busy with their day's work. Mu Jia hesitated for a while and simply pressed the button.
About a few minutes later, Mu Jia stood in front of the familiar black walnut door. Mu Jia took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked lightly -
No one answered.
There was a sound of something falling from inside.
Mu Jia took a deep breath, raised his hand and opened the door.
Looking straight ahead, Xie Siyan was leaning back in the black swivel chair, his eyes slightly closed, his fingers rubbing his temples. If it weren't for this action, he would look like he was asleep.
"Do you have a headache from your hangover?" Mu Jia walked in, gently placed the thermos on the table, and walked behind him. "Do you want... me to give you a massage?"
