Yang Jinxia drank two glasses of red wine, but the blush on her face had not faded away. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water. When her eyes occasionally met his, she revealed a hint of shyness.

Seeing this little woman's side, Chen Xu's heart beat faster, and all the food on the table seemed to have lost its taste.

After finally finishing the meal and washing the dishes, Chen Xu dried his hands and walked into the living room, where she was sitting on the sofa, curled up with the remote control in her hand, her eyes fixed on the TV.

Chen Xu walked over and sat down next to her, took the remote control from her hand, put it on the coffee table, and moved closer.

Yang Jinxia lowered her head and whispered, "Go take a shower."

Chen Xu stood up and said, "Let's take a shower together, okay?"

"No." She took a pillow and hugged it. When she shook her head, her hair fell down, covering her hot face.

Chen Xu laughed, turned and walked into the bathroom.

Yang Jinxia touched her cheeks with both hands and felt they were very hot. There was a bit of longing, curiosity, and fear in her eyes.

Ding ding dong dong…

Suddenly, her cell phone on the coffee table rang.

When she heard the phone ring, her eyes suddenly became calm. The blush on her face did not fade away, but her whole temperament was different.

Only a limited number of people know this number. If it is not an important matter, they will not call at this time.

She walked over and saw the number on the screen. It was Wen Yan's, one of her most valued employees.

She picked up her cell phone, looked back in the direction of the bathroom, opened the balcony door, walked out, and closed the floor-to-ceiling sliding door.

In the cold wind, she answered the phone, "What's the matter?"

"The old gentleman said he wants to see you." Wen Yan's voice was a little distorted on the phone. I don't know if it was because of the poor signal.

There was a hint of sternness in her gaze as she looked at the dark night sky. She paused for a moment and said, "When?"

"He said he was free on the Lantern Festival."

"Tell him to go to my...grandma's ward."

"OK."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and deleted the call record. She looked back in the direction of the bathroom, opened the door, walked into the room, closed the door gently, and sat back on the sofa.

After a while, the bathroom door opened and the sound of slippers on the wooden floor came closer and closer. She looked up and saw his eyes that seemed to be burning with flames under his wet hair.

…………

It was dawn, and Chen Xu seemed to wake up from a sweet dream. After opening his eyes, he felt someone in his arms. He looked down and saw Yang Jinxia's face. She was sleeping soundly and breathing evenly.

He just looked at her face as if he was looking at a work of art. After a while, his neck felt a little tired, so he rested his arms under his neck.

These days, he really felt like he was dreaming, and it was even more unreal than his dreams.

She was too perfect, beautiful, well-born, and pleasing to others. She was like a perfect lover who had walked out of a dream. He was worried that one day when he woke up, she would just disappear like this.

Until now, they had the most intimate contact. He finally felt at ease, at least on this night, she completely belonged to him.

He looked at her rosy cheeks, savoring the memory bit by bit, and gradually, a trace of doubt emerged in his heart. She acted very unfamiliar last night, as if she had no experience in this area.

But, this is unlikely, right? Considering her age, the little tricks she used to get close to him, and the amorous feelings she usually displayed, it doesn't seem like this is the first time.

He felt confused and wanted to figure it out, like a cat scratching its head.

In fact, he didn't really mind it. In today's social atmosphere, many things are inevitable. However, when he thought that her first time was his, he couldn't help but feel excited and proud, with an indescribable feeling.

…………

Yang Jinxia didn't wake up until noon. Just as she put on her clothes, Chen Xu came in with food.

The two of them stayed in the room, taking turns to eat, and had a sweet lunch.

In the afternoon, they did not go out. They just sat on the sofa, leaning against each other, watching the gala rebroadcast on TV and spent the whole afternoon.

For the next few days, the two of them did not step out of the door and stayed in the room tightly together.

Yang Jinxia didn't even go to the company, she just called to ask for leave.

It was not until the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, when all the food in the refrigerator was gone, that they went out to buy groceries for the first time.

After breaking that state of life, the two finally returned to normal. Chen Xu also went home to avoid worrying his parents. Yang Jinxia also went to work at the company.

But at night, Chen Xu still stayed at her place. It was too cruel to separate them in the period of passionate love.

Before we knew it, it was already the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Chen Xu, I'm going back. There's a small problem at my grandma's place. I'm worried, so I have to go check on her." When she woke up in the morning, Yang Jinxia put her face against Chen Xu's chest and said softly.

Chen Xu asked, "Is everything okay?"

"No."

"It's just right. I have to go back too. My mother has asked me several times why I haven't gone to work yet. When will I leave?" Chen Xu said.

"Leave after breakfast."

"Okay, I don't have anything to pack."

The two got up immediately, had breakfast, packed up briefly, and drove back to the city where they worked.

A few hours later, the car drove into the residential area where Yang Jinxia lived.

After Chen Xu and his partner moved their luggage to Yang Jinxia's house, they left. The house had a cleaning lady who cleaned it regularly, but the food couldn't be stored for that long. They were going to buy food.

"Let's take the subway." After going downstairs, Chen Xu was about to get the car when Yang Jinxia suddenly suggested.

"Okay." The subway station is not far from this community, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there. It is very convenient.

…………

"Let's pretend we don't know each other while we're waiting for the subway." After entering the subway station, Yang Jinxia suddenly had an idea and said, "After we get on the subway, come over and talk to me."

"Huh?" Chen Xu looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she did this.

"Before, I was the one chasing you. Now, I want to try what it feels like for you to chase me." She said, and let go of his hand. "From now on, we don't know each other."

Chen Xu was a little helpless, but still decided to meet her request.

Just like she said, before, she was the one who took the initiative to approach him. Now, it’s no big deal for her to feel the feeling of being pursued by him.

PS: It’s too late, I can’t stand it anymore, there are still three more chapters, I can only wait until tomorrow. The next chapter should be around noon.
