Lu Shizhen's lips, which had been moistened by water before she went downstairs, were still warm and soft, but the lips that rested on her lips were cool.
Her unguarded lips were like a checkpoint that could be easily pried open, and Xu Shiyue effortlessly swept her lips and tongue across them.
Just like a continuation of the kiss this morning, Xu Shiyue gently pecked at Lu Shizhen's lips.
Like a bee that has fallen into nectar, even with its body covered in nectar, it still rubs against the flower's stamen again and again, never satisfied.
Even though the flower buds were already trembling in the spring breeze.
The oppressive, heavy feeling that the elevator had just started had disappeared, and the red floor numbers were flashing in Lu Shizhen's peripheral vision.
She knew better than anyone what kind of semi-public situation she and Xu Shiyue were in, and that the door Xu Shiyue was facing away from could open at any moment.
It could be the cleaning lady, or it could be any neighbor she had greeted before.
This unknown possibility made each change and pause in the floor number feel like the opening of a blind box, causing Lu Shizhen's heart to involuntarily tense up.
"Yes..."
The faint sounds escaped during a brief moment, only to be pulled back by someone.
Xu Shiyue was not very satisfied with Lu Shizhen's distracted behavior, and as a form of punishment, she pressed her kiss on Lu Shizhen's lips even harder.
Gone was the gentle, tentative kiss from before; now, the passionate, intense kiss churned up the already sparse breaths.
Their moist lips pressed together, their amplified nerve endings sensitively pressed against each other by sharp teeth, trembling slightly, keenly capturing any change in their surroundings, including Xu Shiyue's kiss.
He raised his arm slightly, as if to push her away, but hesitated to use force. He then found Xu Shiyue's hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
Lu Shizhen felt as if she had been split into two.
One is worried about the door that could open at any moment, while the other is falling into a dangerous and reckless descent into depravity.
So the tip of her tongue lightly touched him, and Xu Shiyue was tilted back slightly by the pressure.
Lu Shizhen pulled out her other hand and placed it on Xu Shiyue's back, and her initiative to return the kiss became natural.
Later, Lu Shizhen realized that her worries were completely unnecessary.
This is an upward elevator, and apart from the residents who came up from the elevator entrance on the first floor, basically no one will appear in the middle of the journey.
How could Xu Shiyue possibly do something so dangerous and completely disregard her feelings?
As if they had both exhausted their last breath of oxygen, Xu Shiyue released Lu Shizhen.
A slight feeling of weightlessness lifted Lu Shizhen's wildly beating heart as the elevator conveniently stopped at her floor.
The elevator doors were not fully open yet, and Xu Shiyue gently brushed her hand across the back of Lu Shizhen's neck.
Those slightly cool fingertips touched a thin layer of sweat beneath her thick hair and said, "Teacher Sixteen is sweating."
Lu Shizhen, seemingly unwilling to back down, rubbed Xu Shiyue's back against her palm: "Miss Xu, don't you have any?"
As if admitting it, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Xu Shiyue's eyes.
She still didn't pay attention to Lu Shizhen, and then whispered in her ear, "That's why Teacher Sixteen has made rapid progress."
The elevator doors slowly opened, and a cool breeze rushed in, mingling with Xu Shiyue's gentle voice as it whispered in Lu Shizhen's ear.
Whether it was due to the large temperature difference or some other reason, Lu Shizhen's ears turned red instantly, just like this morning.
A clumsy dog can never outwit a clever cat.
Lu Shizhen gently pushed Xu Shiyue away, her steps hurried to the elevator door, and said, "Hurry up and go down. If Miss Lu finds out, she will definitely be angry."
Xu Shiyue listened to Lu Shizhen's words, her gentle smile softening her tone: "You too, go back quickly, it's chilly in the corridor."
Lu Shizhen nodded, then waved and turned to leave under Xu Shiyue's gaze.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and Lu Shizhen's figure disappeared from Xu Shiyue's sight...
Just as Xu Shiyue raised her hand to press the button for the first floor, Lu Shizhen suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Xu Shiyue."
"You gave too much."
The girl's figure was only a slender sliver visible through the crack in the door, her voice carrying the sound of breaths that hadn't subsided in a long time.
These words seemed to have been thrown into the elevator, quickly reaching Xu Shiyue's ears, and she hurriedly led the figure that had stopped at the door away.
Like a shy child, it runs away as soon as it's dropped.
In less than a second, the elevator doors were completely closed.
Xu Shiyue's gaze remained fixed on the crack that let in a faint light, and a deep smile instantly bloomed in her eyes.
The lotus root is broken, but the threads still connect it.
When Xu Shiyue came downstairs again, several minutes had passed since Lu Shien ran to the car.
The streetlights outside shone into the car as the door opened, making Lu Shi'en's awkwardness particularly obvious: "Why did it take you so long to come out?"
"I forgot something, so I went upstairs for a bit," Xu Shiyue said calmly as she got into the car.
"You better be." Lu Shi'en muttered under his breath, not quite believing it. "I don't think that person is a good person. Don't blame me if you get scammed."
Xu Shiyue chuckled when she heard the girl say that.
The voice was soft, but Lu Shi'en heard it clearly. He immediately turned to look at Xu Shiyue and questioned, "What are you laughing at?"
"I just remembered how hostile you were to me before." Xu Shiyue's voice remained calm as she recounted the past, "And Shen Yanxing, you didn't get along with him at first either."
Lu Shi'en was taken aback by what Xu Shiyue said.
She thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. Suddenly, she realized something and then heard Xu Shiyue's voice in her ear again: "Sometimes, just because you don't like someone at first sight doesn't mean you'll always dislike them."
So, is that one called Sixteen also one?
A thought suddenly popped into Lu Shi'en's mind, and the hostility that had just been established today began to waver slightly with the events that had just occurred.
Then Lu Shien suddenly realized that Xu Shiyue's words seemed to be intentionally leading him.
Thinking that he had almost been misled, Lu Shi'en's eyes immediately welled up with anger and embarrassment, and he shouted, "Xu Shiyue! Don't even think about confusing me! I will never accept that Sixteen-something!"
The news that "The Girl Who Accidentally Entered a Fantasy World" was indeed going to collaborate with a company under the Xu Group quickly spread throughout the entire studio. The work group, which was as calm as a stagnant pool after get off work, suddenly erupted in an unprecedented uproar.
It was late at night, and no one was sleeping. The number of group messages kept increasing, and before you could see this message, a flood of new messages came in, completely drowning the old ones in a sea of text.
[Wow, I can't believe my eyes! It's Ten Technology! The Xu Group!]
[I was talking to Ah Niu yesterday about whether we could do a collaboration with them someday, sob sob sob...]
[The dream has come true! Old Chen's big splurge didn't cost him anything!]
Thinking about it this way, my heart suddenly stopped hurting, and even felt a little warm.
[Shocking! What happened to make this notoriously stingy miser not only unconcerned but also in such a good mood? Welcome to today's "Approaching Science," let's uncover the secrets of Editor-in-Chief Chen.]
[Hahahaha, pandas are so cute, why would they steal someone else's bamboo shoots!]
Why steal the panda when the bamboo shoot is so cute?!
[I never dreamed I'd actually be able to cooperate with the Xu Group! Their market value is in the trillions! Spring truly brings hope everywhere!]
【Then I wish I could meet Sister Xu right away! Let me see this beautiful sister again, okay?】
...
The various kinds of words piled up together stirred up the quiet of the night.
Lu Shizhen watched everyone chatting happily in the group on the other end of her phone, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Except for Xiaoning's last sentence.
Lu Shizhen looked at Xiaoning's words and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Before she could even take a screenshot to settle scores with Xiaoning, another message popped up.
[Help! I've been waiting for their new system for ages, I heard it's about to be released, why are they suddenly asking us for a collaboration?]
Who knows? All I can say is that Teacher Sixteen is amazing; he personally organized this petition.
[As expected of our Sixteenth Teacher, Sixteenth Teacher, I quite like the Shen Group, what do you think...]
When Lu Shizhen saw Shen Yanxing's name appear on the screen again, she no longer felt the tightness in her chest that she had felt before.
She ate the breakfast bun that Xiaoning had brought her that morning, and casually smeared the oil from her hands on Qiuqiu, who was eating a starch sausage.
"Meow! (Host!)" Qiuqiu immediately looked up and protested loudly, "Meow meow!! (Don't make me all dirty, and then make me take a bath, I don't like taking baths!!)"
"You're so stingy." Lu Shizhen nuzzled Qiuqiu's nose and gave her some system coins. "Free dry cleaning service, it's yours."
"Host, I see that your emotional health index is higher than ever before today, it's absolutely excellent. You're this happy just because you kissed Xu Shiyue?" Qiuqiu looked at the gold coins she had collected and teased her host with a smile.
“Yes.” Lu Shizhen admitted readily, then tempted Qiuqiu, “Once you’ve set up the blocking program, the gold coins will be even more plentiful.”
"And my starch flower!" Qiuqiu reminded Lu Shizhen for the nth time, with a starch sausage in its mouth.
As she said this, half of the starch sausage was swallowed whole by Qiuqiu.
As it swallowed, it continued speaking to Lu Shizhen: "By the way, host, I need to go to the main system in a couple of days. The shielding system needs to understand the internal programs of the main system. I'll be there soon."
“Okay.” Lu Shizhen nodded.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, and the stars seemed to twinkle with hope against the dark night sky.
Lu Shizhen just sat there, chin in hand, watching the lively chatter in the group chat. She didn't have much to say, but quite suddenly, she started to miss Xu Shiyue.
"Buzzing—"
The text message she hadn't used in a long time suddenly vibrated, interrupting Lu Shizhen's worries.
Some things happen that you can only attribute to tacit understanding, just like when Lu Shizhen opened her text message and received a message from Xu Shiyue: "[This is Xu Shiyue, is it convenient for us to video chat now?]"
Lu Shizhen was somewhat surprised: [What's wrong?]
A slight vibration touched Lu Shizhen's palm, and then a string of black words appeared in her vision.
Suddenly, a burst of fireworks rose into her empty heart, exploding into colorful sparks.
Nothing much, I just missed you.
