Chapter 2072 The story begins here
Wu Xinqing was shivering slightly because of the cold, but when he heard Shi Guangyuan's words, he stopped shivering instantly.
"You're not young anymore, do you really think you're still a young man full of energy?"
As she spoke, she took off her coat and stuffed it back into Shi Guangyuan's hands: "Take care of yourself first."
Shi Guangyuan wasn't angry at all. He smiled and said, "Young man or not, my body is no different from before."
As he said this, as if to prove his words, he took her hand.
The warm and dry palms are indeed the same as before.
But Wu Xinqing immediately pulled his hand out.
Maybe it was because we hadn't done anything intimate for a long time, so it was still quite awkward when he suddenly held my hand.
Shi Guangyuan smiled, palms facing up, "Your hands are so cold, don't be so stubborn, I'll warm them up for you for a while."
"Thank you, it's really not necessary."
Wu Xinqing said politely, then looked straight ahead and no longer looked at him.
I was wondering why the hotel was so inefficient and the car hadn't arrived yet.
She cupped her hands together and blew some hot air to her mouth.
"Angry?"
"No."
"That's it," he paused, "I was just joking. Actually, you're no different from before. There are just a few fine lines at the corners of your eyes, but if you don't look closely, you can't see them at all."
“…”
Will this person suffocate to death if he doesn't speak?
Age and wrinkles are the things women least want to face, but he still insists on talking about them.
"Even with wrinkles, I'm still younger than you," she said coldly.
Shi Guangyuan smiled, put on his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and said nonchalantly: "Of course you are younger than me. After all, I was also an old cow eating young grass."
Wu Xinqing took a deep breath, not wanting to respond to him anymore, and tried his best to control his emotions.
She didn't want to recall the past, but he had already opened the floodgates of her memory. Those past events that she thought she had long forgotten came flooding back, as clear as yesterday...
When she first met him, she was only sixteen years old, and he had already graduated from college.
It was at her cousin's birthday party. Wu Xinqing happened to be on vacation at home, so she went to the party with her father.
The banquet that day was much more boring than she had imagined.
Her father took her to greet relatives and friends. She felt really bored and asked her father several times that she wanted to go home, but her father wanted to chat with his friends for a while, so he asked her to find a quiet place to rest and go home with her after he finished his socializing.
She looked around and walked to the sofa area on one side of the banquet hall. It was relatively quiet there, but as soon as she sat down, someone came up to her and started chatting her up.
They were all people from the celebrity circle, young masters and the like. She knew most of them, and some were children of her father's good friends. If she didn't want to talk to them, she would try to refuse politely.
When someone invited her to drink, she said she was a minor and could not drink.
Someone asked her to go to the movies on the weekend, and she said she was going to learn the violin.
Some people even wanted her home phone number, but she simply said her family was strict and she wasn't allowed to talk on the phone with boys.
Being a minor, busy with schoolwork, and having a strict family are the three main reasons she uses to reject boring men. She uses them repeatedly and they always work.
I finally had some peace and quiet for a while, but was caught by my relatives' sisters again.
At that time, her father's career was not the best among his relatives. These sisters were somewhat arrogant in front of Wu Xinqing, and they always compared themselves with her, such as the clothes they wore, the brand-name handbags, and the luxury houses at home, showing off their wealth to her intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Xinqing listened to them talking and felt so annoyed that he just wanted to hit someone.
But hitting people is not an option, at least not in this situation. She doesn't care about her own image, but her father still needs to save face.
So I made an excuse to go to the bathroom and quickly took the opportunity to slip away.
On the way to the bathroom, I said hello to my cousin and asked her to tell her father that she would go to the study in the back to hide for a while and call her when it was time to leave.
Her cousin agreed with a smile, so she ran to her cousin's study, planning to read for a while to kill time and wait for her father to finish his social event and take her home.
The study in my cousin's house is open and has no door, but everyone is in the banquet hall at this time and no one comes to bother her.
She snuggled up on the sofa and read a book, but she started to feel sleepy after reading just two pages.
So I turned off the floor lamp, and fell asleep on the large sofa accompanied by the faint sound of music coming from the banquet hall.
She didn't know how long she slept until a man pressed on her.
She was shocked and was about to scream, but the man covered her mouth.
He lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Someone is chasing me, so I'm taking shelter here."
Wu Xinqing looked at the man in front of him, but he couldn't see him clearly. He could only see a pair of black eyes in the dim light.
She nodded, not daring to say anything else.
At the same time, scenes in movies where the protagonists were hunted by their enemies began to play out in my mind.
She grew up in an extremely comfortable environment and never thought that such a plot that only appeared in movies would happen to her one day.
This man must be being hunted by some enemy.
Who is he?
Wu Xinqing made judgments based on limited information.
He had a faint scent of cologne on him, and since she knew a little about perfume, she knew that the cologne he used was expensive, so he was at least a man of taste.
And the suit he was wearing, the feel of the fabric was definitely not cheap.
My mother learned sewing and was a Western tailor. She was very knowledgeable about various suit fabrics and taught her how to distinguish the grades of clothing fabrics.
There are only two suits of the same fabric as the one this man is wearing in my father's wardrobe.
So she could be sure that this person must be one of the guests invited by her cousin, and he must have some background.
After judging his identity, I began to imagine his experience tonight.
At a lively cocktail party, he was tragically attacked by a competitor or enemy and stabbed. Fortunately, he escaped. Then, in a panic, he came to this small study and found her sleeping soundly. The sofa was wide enough and the blanket was thick, so he crawled into her blanket and let her serve as a cover.
Maybe someone would come soon, and she would have to pretend that she was sleeping here, so that no one would find out that there was a man hiding under her blanket.
What would happen if she didn't cover him?
This person is controlling her now, and she must cooperate.
In fact, she was happy to cooperate.
Although he was a little scared, Wu Xinqing simply loved what he had done.
Her daily life was so boring, routine, safe, like a stagnant pool of water. This was simply an opportunity sent by God.
but……
It looked like this guy hadn't been stabbed or shot or anything like that.
Because his body was warm, and he felt his clothes, which were dry and had no smell of blood.
So he had no external injuries.
Maybe it was poisoning?
Yes...it must be poisoned.
Because his breathing was obviously very rapid and his body was so hot, it was completely different from a normal person's body temperature.
