It was a sunny day, but the temperature of each other was clearer and deeper than the faint heat. Shi Jin only needed to turn her head slightly, and her lips would touch the man's hot neck skin.

On the slender and strong neck line, the light blue arterial lines are slightly bulging, showing strong vitality.

He suddenly drooped his eyelids.

A slightly low voice with a hot breath brushed past the ears, sending waves of numbness to the cold face.

"Roommate, do me a favor."

Shi Jin pursed her lips and lowered her voice: "What."

The waist in his hand was thin and flexible. Yu Ci subconsciously clenched his palm: "Help me deal with the blind date."

The scorching temperature seeped into his skin through the thin summer clothes. Shi Jin frowned slightly, said nothing, but the hand in front of him loosened its strength slightly.

Yu Ci knew that he had acquiesced, and the corners of his lips curled up, and his brows and eyes relaxed wantonly: "I promise, just this once."

An Rusu at the table frowned: "What does this mean?"

Luo Yuanyuan crossed her feet, tilted her head, and looked at the ice cocoa quietly.

"Sorry." Yu Ci put his arm around Shi Jin's waist and apologized sincerely, "I didn't know about this blind date today, including Luo Yuanyuan."

Luo Yuanyuan blinked twice when her name was called, and nodded: "Originally, Aunt Zhong was supposed to accompany me shopping today."

"As for the blind date." Yu Ci looked at An Rusu: "My father didn't inform me in advance, otherwise I wouldn't be here today."

An Rusu looked at him coldly, then looked at Shi Jin who was standing next to Yu Ci: "What's the matter with this man?"

Yu Ci used a little force and completely trapped the person in his arms.

"As you can see." He raised his eyebrows and turned up the corners of his lips. His outstanding face and bold demeanor made him look extremely handsome.

Too bad this guy isn't single.

What's even more regrettable is...

An Rusu looked at the young man beside him expressionlessly.

The other person had his eyelids drooped and his face was calm. Even if he just stood there, his face was still shockingly outstanding.

Even more heartbroken what happened.

An Rusu gritted her teeth fiercely: "Okay, I understand."

She sat back at the table, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

The fragrant and bitter coffee soaked her mouth and also made her brain clearer: "I will tell Uncle Yu the truth when I get back. In addition..."

An Rusu raised her head, and looked at Yu Ci with a pair of upturned phoenix eyes with a little contempt: "Since you have a partner, tell your family as soon as possible, otherwise-"

She tilted her head: "Hey, handsome guy."

Shi Jin was slightly stunned, and looked at her hesitantly.

"Yes, I'm calling you." An Rusu nodded and said provocatively, "You're not a good man. He's dating you but he didn't tell his family. He's either stupid or he's looking for another one. Either way, he's not a good person."

She lifted her wavy hair and curled her lips: "If you break up with him, you can also consider me."

"Tsk." Yu Ci raised his eyebrows in an ambiguous tone: "Miss An, what you did is really dishonest. You are trying to steal my girlfriend right in front of me?"

An Rusu raised the corner of her mouth, without looking at him, but reached out and patted Luo Yuanyuan's back: "Tuanzi, let's go."

Luo Yuanyuan responded, put the empty cup on the table, and trotted away following An Rusu's footsteps.

"You can let go now."

Shi Jin lowered his eyelashes and spoke in a light tone.

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows, and not only did he not let go, he even used a little more force to hold the person tighter.

He bent slightly, leaned forward, and his eyes fell lazily on the young man's cold white face.

Shi Jin's eyelashes were slightly curled and long, a pure raven black color, trembling slightly in the halo of light coming in from the window.

He pursed his lips, raised his hand and pressed it against Yu Ci's chest, and said in a slightly heavy tone, with a reminder: "Yu Ci."

Yu Ci pulled the corners of his mouth lazily, loosened his hand around his waist, and teased with a smile on his lips: "We are all men, it's okay to hug."

Shi Jin said nothing and took two steps back silently.

He raised his hand to straighten the wrinkles on his front, and raised his thin eyelids slightly: "I mind."

Yu Ci raised his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful: "Roommate, are you......"

Shi Jin held up the black umbrella and looked back at him with a cold expression.

Yu Ci's guess came true. He touched the tip of his nose and said in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

"No." Shi Jin walked out calmly, saying in a calm tone, "Why should I be angry?"

“Pah—”

A black umbrella with a pink fox printed on it was opened, casting a shadow on the sunny ground.

Shi Jin walked out of the corridor holding an umbrella.

Yu Ci raised an eyebrow behind him and caught up with him: "Roommate, wait for me."

The heat of late August is steaming and baking the ground. The branches and leaves of the trees on the roadside are curled up by the scorching sun. Dryness and stuffiness are the main themes of summer, singing melodiously in the hot summer.

In the cake shop, Shi Jin looked at the dazzling array of cakes on display and pursed her lips.

The clerk noticed his gaze, walked over, and whispered, "Do you want a cake, sir?"

Shi Jin nodded slightly and pointed to the empty space in the corner of the display case: "Excuse me, do you have any more of this cheesecake?"

The clerk followed his line of sight and shook his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, this cheesecake is selling very well today, and the last piece has just been ordered by a gentleman."

Shi Jin pursed her lips slightly, a little unwilling: "When will the next batch of cakes be available?"

"The next batch will be out of the oven at 5pm." The clerk said, and then introduced to Shi Jin: "Would you like to try our new yogurt nut cake? It sells very well. This is the last piece."

At five o'clock in the afternoon...

Shi Jin raised his hand and looked at the time. It was now twelve o'clock noon.

He frowned slightly and politely declined: "No, thank you."

Shi Jin finally bought a cup of iced milk tea on the recommendation of the shop assistant.

He walked out of the store carrying the milk tea and looked at the glaring sunlight above his head with a frown.

The sun was scorching, and walking back was obviously not a good option.

He pursed his lips and was about to take out his cell phone to hail a taxi when a silver-black sports car stopped in front of him.

The silver-black sports car beeped its horn.

Shi Jin lowered his eyes and took two steps away, continuing to look at his phone with his brows lowered.

Perhaps because it was the peak lunch break period, there were too many people using taxi apps. Shi Jin waited for a long while, but only received a notification that the system was busy.

He frowned and closed the taxi app.

“Beep——”

The silver-black sports car in front of me honked again.

Shi Jin completely lost his patience. He raised his head and stared coldly at the gradually lowering car window.

The car window rolled down, revealing the familiar handsome face of the owner of the car.

The handsome face raised his lips towards him, and there was a smile in his sparkling peach blossom eyes: "Roommate, are you going home?"

Shi Jin paused for two seconds, then reached out and opened the car door.

The air conditioner was on in the car, and the cool breeze drove away the summer heat.

Shi Jin unbuckled his seatbelt calmly, his eyes indifferent, "Aren't you leaving?"

"Let's go, why don't you go?"

Yu Ci raised the corner of his mouth, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips and stepped on the accelerator: "I thought you would reject me."

Shi Jin's expression was calm: "Why would you refuse?"

He wanted to go home, and Yu Ci happened to be on his way, so it was the best of both worlds, and he had no reason to refuse.

Yu Ci touched the tip of his nose: "Are you not angry anymore?"

Shi Jin glanced at him and said, "I'm not angry."

He lowered his eyelids, his eyes lightly falling on a certain point in front of him: "...Just reminding myself."

Water droplets seeped out of the wall of the iced milk tea cup in my hand, and the cold water droplets wet my palm.

Shi Jin clasped his hands and lowered his eyelashes.

Sometimes, being too close can temporarily confuse the human brain, stimulating the secretion of dopamine and causing illusions.

To distinguish whether this illusion is real or illusory, you need to keep your distance.

Yu Ci's presence seemed to have too much of an impact on his emotions.

This is something Shi Jin just suddenly realized.

He might need a few days to sort out his thoughts and correct his disordered emotions.

This is also one of the reasons why he agreed to Shi Yi's participation in the publishing house's team-building activities today.

His last sentence was too quiet for Yu Ci to hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"No." Shi Jin pursed his lips and changed the subject: "How long will it take?"

Yu Ci steered the steering wheel and turned a corner, and the bar street appeared in front of him.

He curled his lips, and the silver-black sports car stopped: "We're here."

Shi Jin got off the car first.

Yu Ci parked the car and took out a white box from the back seat. He then swung the keys and walked to Shi Jin's side: "Let's go home."

Shi Jin's eyes briefly passed over the white box in his hand without lingering.

The house was as quiet as usual.

Shi Jin changed his shoes and put the black umbrella behind the door.

Xiao Hei jumped down from the sofa to greet him. He curled his lips slightly and rubbed Xiao Hei's furry head.

The footsteps behind me did not go straight up the stairs as usual.

When Shi Jin stood up, he saw Yu Ci put the white box he had just picked up on the table.

He raised his eyes slightly, and his amber eyes looked particularly clear under the light above his head.

Yu Ci saw the doubt in his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth, and pushed the white box in front of him forward: "For you."

Shi Jin was slightly stunned: "For me?"

His eyes dropped down and landed on the small white box.

The appearance of the box is very simple. At first glance, it is a pure white square paper box with only a string of small letters printed on one side: M&C.

Shi Jin was very familiar with this string of letters.

After all, he had just talked about this dessert shop with Shi Yi in the morning.

only......

"Why give it to me?"

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "Do you need a reason to give someone a gift?"

"If I have to give a reason," he curled his lips, "that is,"

The sparkling peach blossom eyes are filled with a smile, and the overflowing tenderness and affection seem to drown people.

"I'm trying to tease you."

Shi Jin suddenly drooped his eyelashes.
