When Xie Jinxing received the ice water that Jiang Ningxi brought over.
Drinking it is one thing, not drinking it is another.
It's not that he can't drink ice water, but his throat is a little sore today, which is usually a sign that he's about to catch a cold.
But it was Jiang Ningxi who handed it to him.
He could drink anything, even if it was spicy or poisonous, let alone iced.
So he tilted his head back slightly and drank a few sips of ice water with ice cubes.
"How are you feeling? Not hot anymore?" Jiang Ningxi asked him with a smile as she stood to the side.
Indeed, after a few sips of ice water, all the heat in my body disappeared.
"Cough cough, it's not hot anymore."
"Are you done talking? I want to sleep!" Fu Xingzhou, looking like he was about to lose his temper, suddenly walked over.
He already had a headache from drinking alcohol, and after going to the backyard for a while in the wind, his headache worsened.
Jiang Ningxi looked at him coldly, "This is my home! I can do whatever I want. I've already been very kind by not kicking you out to sleep on the steps!"
"Fine, then you can keep talking here!" Fu Xingzhou gave her a cold look.
Then, right in front of them, she turned over and lay down on the sofa, pulled the big quilt over herself, and closed her eyes to sleep, oblivious to everyone else.
Jiang Ningxi looked down at the man sitting next to her and asked, "President Xie, are you leaving, or do you want to sleep here with President Fu?"
Fu Xingzhou, who had just lain down, immediately sat up straight as if he had risen from the dead.
"Xie Jinxing, you don't want to stay here and lie on the sofa, do you?"
Xie Jinxing raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression calm.
"Is it not allowed?"
"Heh, Mr. Xie really goes to great lengths to pursue women!" Fu Xingzhou glanced at him with disdain.
Xie Jinxing's expression remained calm, but his eyes sharpened. "Speaking of this, it seems that you, President Fu, are more famous."
"What about keeping a mistress in a golden house, going against one's family for a woman, and taking only Miss Jiang out of three thousand for a drink."
"Similar phrases are quite popular in the industry, and I'm ashamed to admit I can't match them."
Fu Xingzhou: ...
He squinted at the two people opposite him and sneered, "I sincerely wish you and Jiang Ningxi would get together soon. You two are such a perfect match!"
After saying that, he fell asleep immediately.
He made up his mind; this time, he wouldn't be affected by anything!
Otherwise I'll really go crazy!
Xie Jinxing simply smiled faintly and remained silent.
After a while, he looked up at Jiang Ningxi.
I was about to say something when she spoke first.
"It's getting late. I don't have any extra rooms, but I have plenty of sofas in the living room."
She paused, tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said.
"But we're out of blankets. Why don't you and President Fu share one?"
Xie Jinxing: ...
Fu Xingzhou, who had just lay down and decided not to get up, sat up straight again.
"Jiang Ningxi, don't go too far."
Jiang Ningxi ignored him and only stared at Xie Jinxing.
Her bright, sparkling eyes blinked a few times. "Mr. Xie, how is it?"
Xie Jinxing remembered his purpose, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"No problem, the quilt is big, there's nothing that can't be made up for."
Fu Xingzhou's pupils widened suddenly. "Are you crazy! I don't want to share a blanket with anyone else!"
“Then you can give me the blanket,” Xie Jinxing said immediately.
Fu Xingzhou laughed in anger, and gripped the quilt around himself even tighter.
"Ridiculous! Why don't you just leave everything uncovered!"
“Because I can tolerate making do now.” After Xie Jinxing finished speaking, he stood up and sat on the sofa opposite him.
Then, he reached out and pulled the end of the quilt over himself.
Fu Xingzhou was completely dumbfounded.
Although he didn't like Xie Jinxing.
However, he had to admit that, in his understanding, Xie Jinxing was a calm, self-controlled, shrewd, and cunning person.
But now... what a gem!
No wonder he likes Jiang Ningxi, we're the same kind of people, aren't we!
She clutched the corner of the quilt tightly in her arms.
This half belongs to him, and he will absolutely not give it up!
Seeing the two of them dislike each other, yet both sitting calmly at opposite ends covered by blankets.
Jiang Ningxi raised her hand and waved to them, "You guys get some sleep, I'm going upstairs."
Seeing that she had actually gone upstairs, Xie Jinxing lowered his eyes and prepared to rest.
Fu Xingzhou, sitting on the other side, was speechless.
"Xie Jinxing, can you really sleep?"
Xie Jinxing didn't even open his eyes, and simply replied, "Shut up, don't disturb my rest."
Jiang Ningxi's acupuncture treatment was indeed effective.
I had a bit of a headache after working all day, but after she pricked me like that, I really felt relaxed and wanted to sleep.
Seeing that he had been rebuffed, Fu Xingzhou was so angry that he wanted to curse.
But then I glanced at the person who seemed to have already fallen asleep.
It felt like I'd been punched in the face.
upstairs.
Jiang Ningxi went upstairs yawning.
Just as I reached the corner of the stairs, I saw a figure coming down from above.
They stopped abruptly.
"Fang Linxi? Why are you on the second floor? Don't tell me you're sleepwalking!"
Fang Linxi, who had just come downstairs, never expected to be caught red-handed.
My heart started pounding, and panic flashed in my eyes.
However, he quickly regained his composure and began to explain.
"Sister, I... I wanted to go upstairs to see if you were there."
"I just had a dream about a new pastry, but the ingredients are a bit tricky, so I might be gone for a long time tomorrow."
