My Creator 05
After falling asleep, people sometimes open their eyes without warning. Zhou Yunyu was probably in a light sleep, or perhaps he hadn't gotten enough rest recently and his nerves were a little weak.
She breathed a heavy and tired breath, closed her eyes, opened them again, and glanced at him sideways.
There was a carpet in front of the bed in the bedroom, and Zhou Yi was half-crouching on the carpet. "I was checking to see if you were asleep. Did I wake you up?"
Zhou Yunyu's hand paused in mid-air, her fingertips tracing his brow bone and then gently grazing the corner of his lips. She let out a weak "oh" and stared at his lips for a moment, narrowing her eyes. "Are you wearing lipstick?"
Zhou Yi shook his head, "No, why do you ask?"
"Your lips seem very red today."
"Maybe it's a little dark in the bedroom right now, so it looks red." He replied softly, patting Zhou Yunyu's shoulder. "It's still early, and there's still a long time for lunch break. You should continue to rest."
As Zhou Yi spoke, he stood up and prepared to return to the seat where he had just sat.
She put her hands back into the quilt and reached out to grab the hem of Zhou Yi's shirt. "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong? Do you want to drink some water, or..." Before Zhou Yi could finish his words, she pulled him back to the bed. Zhou Yunyu sat up and put her hands on Zhou Yi's shoulders.
She tilted her head and raised it to kiss his lips. It was more like a light bite than a kiss. Her teeth scraped across the soft lips. Zhou Yunyu subconsciously licked her lower lip. Hmm, biting Zhou Yi's lips felt almost the same as biting her own lips.
Zhou Yunyu looked up and remembered that Zhou Yi's lip shape was even very similar to hers.
Zhou Yi's lips curled up slightly, his expression looking similar to his usual one. Zhou Yunyu's train of thought was sometimes bizarre, and even he couldn't predict what she was going to do next. But he was inexplicably in a good mood right now. Although she would actively rely on him, she rarely took the initiative to kiss him.
He looked into her eyes, which were the most unlike his own. They seemed filled with curiosity, perhaps wondering why his lips felt this way when kissed.
Seeing the unsatisfied look in her eyes, Zhou Yi smiled gently and stroked her neck with his warm palm. Zhou Yi's palm could completely cover her neck. He lowered his head and found the part that was so familiar to him and kissed it.
Zhou Yunyu probably learned her kissing skills from Zhou Yi. People like him are gifted. He can learn and grasp the essence of everything immediately, even if she thinks the program is not clearly written.
There was a light mint scent between the lips and teeth, and in the quiet room there was the sound of fabric rubbing against each other. Of course, the more obvious sound was the sucking sound during the kiss.
The romance between them was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of a bell.
"Wait, wait a moment." Zhou Yunyu panted and spoke word by word, "My phone is ringing. Let me see who it is."
Zhou Yi had no choice but to let go of his hand and stared at her phone with some resentment where Zhou Yunyu couldn't see him.
Zhou Yunyu's cell phone is on 24 hours a day except when she is in meetings. Sometimes she even receives work-related messages late at night.
In a position like hers, it's impossible to clearly separate work and personal time. Even when she's sleeping, her rest time is often interrupted by work.
Zhou Yunyu hung up the phone without saying a word. She picked up her coat and was about to put it on. "What are you going to do?" Zhou Yi asked a little puzzled.
"Oh, Assistant Li has some urgent work matters." She said and yawned silently.
"Is it a problem with the previous contract? I'll help you solve it. You can continue your lunch break first." Zhou Yi gently held her wrist.
Zhou Yi did have the authority to handle this part of the work. She looked at his lips, which had become even more rosy from the kiss she had just made. Zhou Yunyu lowered her head to glance at the back of his hand with clear veins and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help."
"Your problems are not a problem to me." Zhou Yi lowered his head and waited for Zhou Yunyu to take off the coat he had just put on before leaving the bedroom.
Zhou Yi closed the bedroom door, straightened his shirt which had been wrinkled by Zhou Yunyu, and tried hard to suppress the joy on his face due to surprise, then walked out of the office to meet Li Zhu.
Zhou Yunyu lay back on the bed. She had clearly felt quite sleepy just now, but the inexplicable "molestation" of Zhou Yi had made her feel a little uneasy. His scent seemed to still linger in the room. She looked at the ceiling and took several deep breaths before slowly calming down.

When I finished today's work in the afternoon, it was almost time to get off work.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have anything special you want to eat for dinner tonight? Or would you like to let me arrange it?" Zhou Yi would first ask Zhou Yunyu about her appetite today, just like he did every day, and then decide on her dinner content.
"Oh, right, I forgot to mention it." Zhou Yunyu suddenly looked up and remembered, "I'm going back to my parents' house for dinner tonight."
"Aren't your parents coming back tomorrow?" Zhou Yi thought about it carefully. In order to make it easier to arrange Zhou Yunyu's schedule, he also had a better understanding of Director Zhou and his wife's schedule.
"He suddenly said he was back a day early. Maybe he's gone to all the places he wanted to visit and is going home now." Zhou Yunyu muttered, "I only found out about it not long ago and was busy with other things so I forgot to tell you."
"Okay, I'll tell the cook that she doesn't have to cook for us tonight." Zhou Yi lowered his head and informed the cook.
Zhou Yunyu actually has a good relationship with her parents. She seems to have rarely argued with them since she grew up. However, in order to facilitate her work, she moved out to live alone a long time ago. She would occasionally go home to have dinner together, and Zhou Yi would also go back with her.
Zhou Yunyu's parents actually don't have much feelings for Zhou Yi, probably because he looks a bit like their daughter, and Zhou Yunyu seems to like her 18th birthday gift very much, so her parents love Zhou Yi and look at him like their own child. Of course, more importantly, Zhou Yi is their most successful experimental subject.
He succeeded so well in hiding his true identity from everyone.
Zhou Yunyu and Zhou Yi got in her car and went back to Zhou's house. Zhou's house was not far from the company, but it was not close to where she lived now. Zhou Yunyu even rested on Zhou Yi's shoulder for a while on the way home.
When Zhou Yunyu returned home, she could already faintly smell the fragrance of dinner. Her parents had just returned from a trip, and the large living room on the first floor, which had been cleaned tidy, was now filled with their things, including luggage and gifts bought on their trip.
Zhou Yi carried Zhou Yunyu's bag and followed her into the door.
"Hey, you're back." The first person to discover Zhou Yunyu and Zhou Yi was her father.
"Yeah." She smiled.
She glanced at her mother who was sitting on the sofa in the living room sorting things and her father who was helping her mother. Zhou Yunyu had already begun to wonder how much fun her parents were having recently.
"Xiao Yu, I bought a lot of things for you, including bags and skin care products." Yu Ya said to her excitedly. When she wanted to find the things she bought for her, she was dazzled by the dazzling array of boxes and bags in front of her. In addition, some of the luggage had not been taken out yet, so Yu Ya stopped looking for things.
"By the way, I also brought a gift for Xiaoyi." Yu Ya smiled at Zhou Yi, then lowered her head and thought about what she had just sorted.
Zhou Yi, who was standing behind Zhou Yunyu, didn't expect that he would also be included. He quickly and politely thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."
Unlike when he was with Zhou Yunyu, he usually called them uncle and aunt in private. After all, the only person he absolutely obeyed was Zhou Yunyu.
"I'm so hungry. When can I have dinner?" Zhou Yunyu sniffed, her appetite instantly aroused by the rich aroma. She was wondering what the main course would be tonight.
The maid quickly put the prepared meals on the table. Seeing that Zhou Yunyu was hungry, Yu Ya and the others stopped what they were doing and took her to the dining table to prepare dinner for tonight.
Zhou Yi sat beside her, adhering to the rule of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping, and just quietly accompanied their family as they ate.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, do you still remember Aunt Xu? The one who's a professor at University A. Her son recently returned to China."
"Aunt Xu's son?" Zhou Yunyu seemed to know this person.
It's just that they haven't been in contact for many years and now they are no different from strangers. She can't even remember how to write his name. Her memory is so vague that she only remembers the general pronunciation of his name.
She picked up a piece of meat and ate two more mouthfuls of rice.
"Yeah, don't you remember? You used to play together in kindergarten. Now you live in the same city, and you said you'd meet up sometime." Yu Ya nudged Zhou Qiu's arm with her elbow. "Even your dad remembers you."
Zhou Yunyu frowned and looked at her father. Zhou Qiu nodded, his eyes showing that your mother is right.
She pursed her lips and asked in a serious tone, "Has something happened in the company recently that requires me to get married to solve it?"
"Hey, kid, I didn't say anything. You just made it up in your imagination." Yu Ya seemed innocent. She swore that she really just wanted Zhou Yunyu to make another friend.
"It just so happens that the subject that child is studying is somewhat related to the project you're planning to research. I thought you two might have something in common. I remember I have some old photos of you at home."
Zhou Yi sat quietly on the side without interrupting, but he couldn't help but laugh softly when Zhou Yunyu was speaking. She sometimes had a dry sense of humor, which others might not have noticed, but he could understand the meaning of Zhou Yunyu's words.
Zhou Yunyu pouted, "Let's talk about it later. We're having dinner at home now, why do you keep talking about other people's affairs?"
She was so busy with work that her closest friends were all from her school days. Nowadays, socializing is just for work, but adult life is so busy that Zhou Yunyu can't really focus on anything else that's not work-related.
She also knew that her parents did not really mean to urge her to fall in love and get married. In today's society, whether to get married or have children has become less important.
Even though she did inherit the family fortune, she would never let marriage and childbirth trap her for the rest of her life.
"How's the progress of the latest project?" Zhou Qiu asked. If he didn't talk about outsiders, he could talk about his own family's affairs.
"It should be officially launched in the second or third quarter." Zhou Yunyu knew what project her father was referring to, and she thought carefully about the company's recent arrangements.
Zhou Yi paused his eating and secretly glanced at Zhou Yunyu's expression. This project was actually a research project they had been preparing for many years. Now they were only in the final data acceptance stage. If the project went smoothly, it would be a very significant achievement for both their company and the entire field.
So every time when Jojo was mentioned about the work related to this project, Zhou Yunyu's face would become very serious, with a hint of worry about the unknown future results.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself recently. Get more rest. I see that your dark circles are about to appear." Yu Ya said as she picked up her favorite dish and put it in her bowl.
"Dark circles?" Zhou Yunyu turned her head to face Zhou Yi. She touched the area under her eyes, where the skin was exceptionally soft and tender. "Do I have dark circles now?"
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, "No, her eyes are still very beautiful." He did take good care of her eyes.
Knowing that Zhou Yi would not lie to her, Zhou Yunyu lowered her head and continued eating with peace of mind after hearing him say that.
Yu Ya looked at them with some helplessness but with a smile in her eyes.
After dinner, Yu Ya said that she had actually found some old group photos. They were old photos from more than 20 years ago, but because they were properly preserved, they were not distorted. As for the electronic version of the photos, she really couldn't find it.
It turns out that some things are easier to preserve in physical form, and digital storage may not necessarily replace them.
"Look, look at the photo of you two sliding on the slide. You were about the same height back then. I heard that Xiao Xu is over 1.8 meters tall now." Yu Ya flipped through all the old photos and held a few photos of Zhou Yunyu as a child in her hand.
It was not until he saw this photo that Zhou Yunyu slowly remembered what his childhood playmate looked like, but the appearance he recalled was when he was only five or six years old.
Zhou Yi sat next to Zhou Yunyu, and Yu Ya even handed him a photo to show him. He looked down at the smiling faces of the two children in the photo. He should have shown joy, but he couldn't control himself and had to put on the gentle smile he wore when working.
Zhou Yunyu was not interested in her childhood. Her childhood was boring and dull.
What's more, the past is the past. No matter how much people today miss the people of the past, they are just deceiving themselves.
However, seeing her mother so excited, she didn't want to disturb her interest, so she looked at old photos with her for half an hour. In the end, Yu Ya got tired of looking and ended her reminiscing about the past.
After chatting with her parents for a while and packing the new bag and clothes her mother bought for her, Zhou Yunyu returned to her room on the top floor, took a hot bath, and lay on the bed with a facial mask on.
Because they had moved out and were living independently a long time ago, this bedroom was filled with things from long ago. Zhou Yunyu lay on the bed, looking through the things from the past, with an old photo that her mother had just found in front of her.
The room where she was alone was quite quiet, so quiet that she could occasionally hear the sounds of electrical appliances operating in the bedroom.
Zhou Yunyu suddenly realized that if he could calm down and put all his work behind him, and occasionally recall the past, it wouldn't be a waste of time.
Her fingertips flipped through one photo after another. She felt a little tired of lying down, so she turned over in bed. Just as she turned over, she saw Zhou Yi walking in.
There was a special room for Zhou Yi in her parents' house, and there was nothing that needed Zhou Yi's help today. So she frowned in confusion. Although her brows were covered by the mask, Zhou Yi seemed to be able to see through her expression.
"Let me help you apply body lotion." He shook the object in his hand, and what he held in his hand was the body lotion that Zhou Yunyu often used.
The weather at the beginning of this year was a bit too dry, and Zhou Yunyu's skin felt uncomfortable. She was used to applying body lotion all over her body in spring and winter, and this habit continued even in summer.
"Oh, okay." Zhou Yunyu was flipping through photos with her left hand, and her right hand was covered with sticky facial mask essence. She didn't have any extra hands to apply body lotion on herself.
Zhou Yi also seemed to have finished washing up. He probably washed his hair tonight. His hair was smoother than usual and he looked even better than before.
He walked to the bed and found a place to sit down. His eyes seemed to pause as he scanned the old photos.
Zhou Yi lowered his head and squeezed the body lotion into his palm. He put his palms together and evenly spread the fragrant lotion. He placed his warm palms on her calves and slowly spread the body lotion.
Zhou Yunyu was already used to their physical contact. She noticed that Zhou Yi seemed to be looking at her photo, so she handed him a photo of herself performing as a child and said, "I was quite cute when I was little."
Zhou Yunyu has grown up in a similar proportion to her. You can tell that this is Zhou Yunyu just by looking at her photo, but her temperament when she was a child is very different from her temperament now.
He looked at the little girl with round eyes in the photo. Zhou Yi nodded, his tone gentle and sincere, "Very cute."
"I thought they were cute before, too. It turns out all creatures are cute when they're little."
"You are very cute now too." Zhou Yi lowered his head and massaged her smooth calves all over with his hands. The body lotion was gradually absorbed by her skin along with his massage movements.
Zhou Yunyu peeled off the mask on her face, climbed up and said with a smile: "How can you be cute now?"
"I think you are the cutest." He raised his head and looked at her, his tone extremely serious, afraid that she would think that he was just trying to please her.
"You are very cute too..." Zhou Yunyu found that she couldn't continue his words, and said with a bit of amusement and helplessness.
Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, "Really?" As he spoke, he accompanied Zhou Yunyu to the bathroom to wash her face, and waited for her behind her with a face towel in his hand.
"Be careful with your hair." Zhou Yi said as he tidied her hair and took her back to bed.
Zhou Yunyu wiped the water off her face and finally regained her sight. "Really?"
She tilted her head and moved closer to Zhou Yi. She sniffed and suddenly changed the subject, "The shower gel at home smells pretty good too."
Zhou Yi lowered his head and smelled the scent on his body, "Do you prefer the previous shower gel or this one at home?"
"That's the same one as before. The smell before was really nice. I like that smell the most." Zhou Yunyu recalled the smell he had before.
"Then I'll just use the same one I used before." Zhou Yi silently took note. He lowered his head and continued to squeeze out the body lotion.
His large palm continued to wander over her arm, spreading the slightly cool body lotion evenly on her skin. The warmth of the body lotion was soon replaced by the slightly warm temperature of his palm.
Zhou Yunyu felt inexplicably hot around her. Could it be that the air conditioner was not set low enough?
Now she was sitting on the bed, and Zhou Yi was standing at the edge of the bed applying body lotion for her.
In order to overcome the height difference, he bent down slightly, and the collar of his loose and comfortable pajamas fell down due to gravity. From where she was, she could just see his vaguely visible body.
Zhou Yunyu seemed to swallow her saliva. Even though she had seen his body countless times, she still looked away a little uncomfortably.
Zhou Yi caught her expression and couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Yu, are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Yunyu raised her eyebrows and looked at him when she heard him call her name like that. He still had that gentle and capable expression. She grabbed the hem of his pajamas and asked, "Are you going back to your room to sleep later?"
"Everything I do is in accordance with your orders." Zhou Yi was still very close to her, and his warm breath fanned her body.
"I'll sleep wherever you want me to."
