33 "He is not in a hurry to grind closer"
On Saturday afternoon, Huang Zheng returned to Rongcheng as scheduled.
Wen Dongyang had something urgent to do, so he didn't fulfill his promise to pick her up.
But Huang Zheng felt much more relaxed. After leaving the airport, she went straight back to the store to take inventory. The new products in the clothing store on the second floor have been put on the shelves, but the product activities launched by the beauty salon after Women's Day have yet to be finalized.
She was used to doing things herself, having been on her own all these years, and having someone else help her would have made things even more restrictive. She was so focused that she was completely oblivious, and if Tao Wanjia hadn't called, she wouldn't have noticed it was already dark.
Cuoran looked up from the computer screen and saw that the street lights outside the window were already on.
"What do you want for dinner? He Yu said he would take you out for a nice dinner to welcome you."
Huang Zheng doesn't like trivial matters, but she is deeply dependent on Tao Wanjia. She tells her where she is as soon as she gets off the plane, and they video chat every night before going to bed. Although she is not in Rongcheng, it seems like she is always there.
As a result, Tao Wanjia didn't have much real feelings about her leaving for the past few days, but Huang Zheng felt a little bit of separation and withdrawal.
"I'm fine with either, but since Mr. He is so attentive, let's go to his place." Huang Zheng smiled, turned off the computer and stood up.
She was indeed very tired, so it would be nice for her to take a hot spring bath.
Before Tao Wanjia could figure out what kind of territory it was, He Yu beside him took over the phone and said, "It's a deal then. We'll pick you up and take Shengsheng with us to spend the weekend."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Tao Wanjia looked at him intently, "Is your company not busy anymore?"
"Busy," he smiled, raising his arm to put his arm around her shoulders, "but work is never done, so I'll take a break with you."
At half past eight, the four arrived at Shanwu Hotel.
Tao Wanjia was surprised for a moment when he recognized the place where he had dinner with Zhao Kuo last time at the door, but after thinking about it, he could guess that the person who could reasonably integrate the collapse area and underground hot springs into one could not be one of those local entrepreneurs who only care about profit.
He Yu rarely came here, but his suite on the top floor was cleaned every day. He asked the manager to open a room next door and specifically asked for the prepared dinner to be brought directly to the room.
Before the meal officially started, Wen Dongyang arrived in a hurry.
He stood directly beside Huang Zheng's chair and explained guiltily, "I have a sudden meeting. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, just do your thing."
Huang Zheng spoke in a normal tone as she lowered her head to cut the steak for Huang Shengsheng. Although her tone was very normal, Wen Dongyang looked nervous.
The two people across from them saw this and exchanged a knowing glance. Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Tao Wanjia coughed lightly at Huang Zheng while He Yu was helping her spread the napkin. "You two are being so polite, like strangers. I wonder if you just met today?"
He Yu felt helpless when he heard that, thinking that her ability to ease the atmosphere was really not that good. He put his hands under the table to restrain the person and looked up at Wen Dongyang.
"What's opening so late?"
"The inspection team will arrive in Rongcheng in a few days, so I'm a bit busy recently." Wen Dongyang replied and took the juice on the table and poured it for Huang Shengsheng.
He had already eaten in the cafeteria before coming, and drove from the city to the suburbs in the dark just to see Huang Zheng. Huang Shengsheng saw Wen Dongyang still standing and took the initiative to move his chair to make room.
"Uncle Wen, please sit between me and my mom!"
The atmosphere then became lively.
However, after dinner, Wen Dongyang was called away by a work call not long after.
Huang Zheng walked him downstairs, and he stopped when he was almost at the door of the hall.
"It's cold outside, go back quickly."
After not seeing him for a week, his face was clearly tired. This job was indeed tough, and he had come in a hurry tonight, not even changing out of his uniform, as if he had just gone out on a field trip. But despite this, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was still gentle.
Huang Zheng felt inexplicably soft in her heart. She walked forward and raised her hand to straighten his open coat. "Drive carefully."
"Don't worry." Wen Dongyang's mood improved and he came over and kissed her on the face.
After going upstairs, Huang Zheng hugged Huang Shengsheng and soaked in the hot spring for a while, and rested on time at 11:30.
Tao Wanjia was not sleepy. His face was warmed by the central air conditioning in the room. He put on his coat and opened the terrace door to get some fresh air.
It was already spring, but the temperature in Rongcheng was still very low, and the nights were almost like winter. Before me lay the shadowy mountains shrouded in darkness, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the occasional whistling of the wind could be heard.
Opening her phone, news flashed one after another. The 315 Gala was in full swing, and all the undercover reporters were working hard for the announcement on that day. She did the same on this day every year, toiling away in the busy process, then celebrating with her colleagues.
Tao Wanjia felt a little uncomfortable. This stagnation and isolation made her suffer.
"Still asleep?"
He Yu's voice brought her back to her senses. She turned around and saw him standing on the terrace next door.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
When she didn't want to answer, she just wanted to ask back. In the dark light, He Yu could hear that her tone was wrong. He explained that he had just finished work and then invited her, "Do you want to go to the movies with me?"
Tao Wanjia nodded in agreement and went straight to his place from the terrace.
The living room was bright as day, his computer still on the coffee table. He turned off the lights and turned on the projector, then handed her the tablet and asked her to choose.
The latest movies released were all boring and watery dramas. Tao Wanjia flipped through them casually, picked one with a high rating, opened it, threw down the tablet, and leaned back on the sofa.
He Yu's attention was not on the screen at all. He tilted his head to observe her for a long time. Finally, he moved towards her and gently pulled her slender wrist.
"Are you unhappy?"
"How did you know that?" Tao Wanjia continued to ask for the sake of conversation.
He Yu's finger moved up, stopped at the corner of her lips and tapped, "Because, when someone is unhappy, this will turn into a dash."
She was amused by him, squinting her eyes and staring at his lips, which were slightly shiny from drinking water. The confusion in her heart was replaced by something else. After watching for a few seconds, Tao Wanji leaned in and kissed him.
He Yu reacted quickly and grabbed the back of her head, pressing harder as their breathing became heavier.
"Are you going back?"
He let go of her while he still had some sense, his voice hoarse as if covered by fog.
He lowered his head and rubbed her nose, with a hint of red in his eyes.
Tao Wanjia's breathing became disordered, and he pushed her against the sofa. "You're asking questions even though you already know the answer."
"Jia Jia, if you want to refuse now, that's fine."
He leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, "But for a moment. I won't stop."
The darkness of the night intensified his desire, and it was when she took the initiative that he discovered that his willpower was limited.
Tao Wanji looked at him frankly, and with a wicked smile, he moved his hand from his front to his waist.
She unbuckled his belt, her heart pounding, but she still refused to admit defeat.
"Who's afraid of who? Let's see who stops first."
She always seemed to have an inexplicable desire to win over him. When they were young, she couldn't stand others bullying him, and now it had inexplicably escalated to this point.
He Yu burst out laughing, but he also felt that Tao Wanjia was lively and cute. She always wanted to challenge him, and he also enjoyed her aura in front of him.
He stood up, carried her back to the bedroom, and gently placed her on the bed.
Tao Wanjia still couldn't adapt to the climate of Rongcheng. Even though she applied body lotion every day after taking a shower, her skin still felt extremely dry.
He Yu's body was very delicate, and the touch of his skin was so good that it surprised her, "How come you..."
The rest of the words were choked by his breath. He Yu tore off his wrinkled shirt, and there was a rare hint of mischief in his eyes.
"You talk a lot."
Tao Wanjia's skin was also very white, and when his fingertips touched the smooth mass, it suddenly felt like dazzling silk. His throat was dry and he gradually couldn't breathe.
It's been so long, but that night three years ago feels like yesterday. He Yu remembered something and lowered his head in the mud.
She was caught off guard and wanted to refuse but it was too late. The temperature rose and her body became hotter as he tried to please her.
Tao Wanjia recalled that night in a daze, with fragments flashing through her mind. He Yu sensed that she was distracted and gently pinched her thigh.
"What are you thinking about?" He looked up, his lips flushed.
"I was thinking about you."
She smiled, her face flushed from his overly intense gaze.
This answer obviously pleased him, but there was also a slight dissatisfaction.
He Yu raised his hand and took the usual items from the bedside table. He had never stayed here overnight, and at this moment he was very grateful that this extra item was not taken away.
"Tao Wanjia——"
Caught off guard, she pinched his shoulder, and her wandering thoughts were quickly cleared by the impact.
"Could you be gentler?"
"Who made the bet with me just now?"
He raised his eyebrows, but didn't admit defeat and his movements gradually slowed down.
He Yu was not in a hurry at all. He ground slowly and approached her, whispering in her ear with every movement.
It is to truly declare to each other in this way and to fill the gap between them.
His cheeks flushed crimson, and his gaze at her seemed wet. Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, forming a bright galaxy on her collarbone.
Tao Wanjia didn't know whether she couldn't stand his delicate tenderness or his direct gaze, her previous seriousness disappeared, and she tried to avoid his eyes again and again.
He felt it, lowered his waist to remind her, and leaned over to bite her lips.
The hand on his back also gained strength, and his nails drew patterns on his smooth back.
He Yu felt a little pain, and his bite suddenly loosened.
Tao Wanjia reacted and wanted to laugh. She hugged him to calm his breathing and spoke to comfort him in a very sensible way.
"It's okay, it's okay. After all, age—"
Before she could finish her words, he smashed them into pieces that couldn't even form a sentence.
He Yu was very vindictive and it took him a long time to stop.
Tao Wanji was too tired to speak, and glared at him fiercely when he was carried back from the bathroom.
His ears were flushed, and the buttons of his pajamas were undone, revealing his smooth chest. Seeing her like this, he still wanted to tease her.
"Who just said that to me?"
"You are sick!"
He smiled, climbed onto the bed and held her in his arms. Both of them were still damp, and they soon became warm after being wrapped in the quilt.
Tao Wanjia turned over and tried to get away from him, but he was pulled back by his long arms.
"hot…"
She pushed him backwards, and it felt like her back was against a stove.
He Yu remained motionless, whispering against her hair, "You won't leave again this time, will you?"
Her heart skipped a beat and she turned to look at him.
"He Yu, are you afraid that I will leave?"
"Very scared."
He stroked her hair, his eyes soaked in water. "I'm afraid you'll become a shadow I can't catch in my dreams, and I'm afraid you'll disappear again after I wake up."
He had never revealed to her the pain he had suffered in the past three years, but that humid night in Jiayang was indeed a mixture of heaven and hell for him.
"Tao Wanjia, promise me that you will tell me everything that happens in the future, okay?"
