As soon as Li Tangyan finished speaking, her long, butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, and then a thin shadow appeared under her eyes.
When she looked up again, she saw a hint of something unknown stirring in those narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes.
Her voice, tinged with a hint of laughter, carried a lingering tenderness: "Just trying to coax you."
"..."
When Wen Zhaonian took Li Tangyan back, as soon as he opened the door, Shuzai was already wagging its tail and following behind him.
She didn't make a sound, and when Wen Zhaonian put her on the bed, she just squatted down and waited at his feet.
In the room, the squirrel plush toy that Li Tangyan bought on Liuyun Street last time was placed on the bedside table.
On the side, several books were stacked on the wooden desk.
The half-open notebook, with a page flipped up by the breeze seeping in through the window cracks.
Wen Zhaonian tucked the blanket around her and then turned to leave.
When she came back in, she was holding a glass of honey water.
When Li Tangyan was helped up, there was still a faint blush on her cheeks.
As if her peaceful dream had been disturbed, Li Tangyan frowned slightly in displeasure.
But when the familiar scent of soap wafted into her nose, Li Tangyan unconsciously muttered under her breath, "What's wrong..."
"Open your mouth."
The voice from above was soft and slow, like an invisible hook that gently touched my heart.
Li Tangyan murmured something.
As I parted my lips, they touched the cool rim of the cup.
Before long, the slightly sweet honey water had already flowed down my throat and into my stomach.
After being fed the entire cup of honey water, the chill that had just been brought in from outside dissipated considerably.
Wen Zhaonian put the empty cup aside, then bent down and helped the person back onto the bed.
He stood up straight and watched as Li Tangyan rubbed her head against the bed with satisfaction, a smirk playing on his lips.
But seeing that nothing else was wrong, he rolled up his sleeves and then let them down again.
He picked up the trench coat beside him and tucked it halfway into his forearm. He took one last look at Li Tangyan before turning to leave.
However, before he could even make a move, his hand, which was hanging by his side, was grabbed.
As if dissatisfied with the familiar scent dissipating around them, the person on the bed, who had been keeping their eyes closed, opened them with difficulty.
Her slender fingers gripped her hand tightly, making it impossible to tell whether she was fully conscious.
All I knew was that in a short while, Li Tangyan exerted force with her palm and pulled me over.
Bang--
The next second, the edge of the bed sank in with the sudden weight.
Wen Zhaonian supported himself with his free hand on either side of her, and his body bent slightly with Li Tangyan's movements.
The soft light shone down, illuminating his back as he bent over, revealing the faint outline of his spine beneath the thin fabric of his clothes.
"Wen Zhaonian".
Before my eyes, Li Tangyan had opened her eyes, her clear black and white eyes still carrying a hint of confusion.
"?"
"I'm going to City S."
"..."
The wind seeping in through the window cracks once again fluttered a page of the notebook.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of paper being wiped, a gentle voice mingled within, sounding exceptionally clear...
In the early morning, the chirping of birds by the window woke the person who was snuggled into bed.
With a lingering headache from the hangover, Li Tangyan rubbed her head before picking up her phone to check it.
In the group chat, Yao Qing sent a lot of messages last night, and when I opened it, a photo popped up at the bottom.
The main subjects in the photo are Zheng Chuanyi and Xu Miaomiao.
When asked how to describe the two people in the photo who weren't too far apart, a sentence quickly popped into Li Tangyan's mind.
The two people, who looked quite unfamiliar with each other, had a strangely unsettling feeling that they were definitely having an affair.
Please call Yao Qing, the Little Fairy: [Who would have thought that the "insurance salesman" Xu San Dian encountered on his way home for the holiday was Zheng Chuanyi?]
Please call me Fairy Yao Qing: [Look at this damnably intense push-pull sensation!]
Please call Yao Qing, the Little Fairy: [Industry insiders all say it's amazing!]
Xu Miaomiao: [...]
Li Tangyan scrolled through their chat history for a while, but the smile that was about to burst from her lips was choked back by another message Yao Qing sent: "[Zhouzhou, what about you? Did anything happen last night when Wen Zhaonian took you home?]"
Wen Zhaonian?
Seeing his name gradually brought clarity to my confused memories.
Li Tangyan rubbed her head, only then remembering that it was indeed Wen Zhaonian who took her home after she got drunk last night.
I'm just trying to comfort you.
Open your mouth.
In my mind, frame after frame of images replayed like scenes from a rewinding movie.
The clear, crisp voice still seemed to linger in my ears, carrying a slight mellowness.
However, as the memories played out to the end, they became blurry.
She only vaguely remembered that she seemed to be holding Wen Zhaonian's hand and saying something...
A moment later, the phone she was holding vibrated again. Li Tangyan looked down and saw that Yao Qing had sent another message.
Please call me Fairy Yao Qing: [Strange, is she still not awake?]
Li Tangyan's brows relaxed and then tightened again.
After a long while, unable to think of anything else, I could only tap my phone a few times.
When Li Tangyan got out of bed again, she saw that the phone on the bed was still dimly lit, displaying the last sentence.
Chestnut porridge: [I can't remember exactly.]
*
As the date of the first trial drew closer, the law firm became busy after that day.
They were both busy, so they never even met up.
Even sometimes, online chats would end after only a few words because one of them would get caught up in other things.
