The dinner ended at nine o'clock. Considering that Min Xi was not in a good mood, Chu Yi did not arrange any other entertainment activities.
Just then, a classmate brought his two-year-old child to the dinner party. The couple were their classmates and were the only successful couple in the class. The child had fallen asleep in his mother's arms, which gave us more reason to leave early.
After the meal, they became familiar with each other, and Chu Yi took the initiative to add Min Xi's contact information.
"If you ever encounter something you can't figure out, give me a call and I'll help you find some guidance." He has a lot of experience in self-comfort.
Min Xi smiled faintly: "Thank you."
But she is used to dealing with emotional setbacks alone and never asks for help from others.
Because other people's medicine can't cure her illness.
Fu Yanzhou said goodbye to the other classmates and walked over slowly.
Looking at the two people who were chatting happily, he said calmly: "Haven't you finished chatting all night? Let's go to my house to continue chatting?"
Chu Yi: “…”
He could vaguely hear jealousy in Fu Yanzhou's words.
But the next second, he secretly laughed at himself for being too suspicious.
How could Fu Yanzhou, who is always calm and composed, show jealousy on his face? He was just being petty. Maybe he saw that Fu Yanzhou and Min Xi could get along well, so he sincerely invited him to his home. After all, everyone knew that he only had a special liking for Zhu Youran.
Chu Yi smiled and said, "It's too late today, I will definitely go another day."
Fu Yanzhou glanced at him and said nothing.
He was a man of few words, and Chu Yi was used to it. However, it was a fact that he had chatted with Min Xi all night, so he had to be sensible. He explained to Fu Yanzhou why they had chatted for so long: "I learned a lot about brand communication from Min Xi tonight, and it benefited me a lot. I am thinking about whether to outsource the public relations business and leave professional matters to professionals."
Min Xi continued: "Our company is not good at the business in your industry. If you need it, I can recommend a few suitable public relations companies to you."
What they said sounded plausible, so Fu Yanzhou believed it.
Fu Yanzhou drank some wine tonight, and Min Xi also drank half a glass. The driver came to pick them up and the car had already arrived.
Chu Yi considerately opened the car door for them and said, "We'll meet often in the future."
After the car drove away, Fu Yanzhou asked Min Xi: "Why did you eat so little?" There was a table full of delicious food, but she only ate a few pieces of fish and a little soup.
Doesn't seem to have any appetite.
Min Xi: "No one shaves my fish bones."
Fu Yanzhou showed no sympathy: "Who told you not to sit next to me?"
"They all sat in shuffled seats, saying that it would be more fun for strangers to sit together to get more familiar with each other. I can't get any special treatment." On her left was Chu Yi, and on her right was the math class representative with his child.
I didn't eat much of the fish, but we had a good chat.
Min Xi changed the subject: "The daughter of your math class representative is so funny. She is only two years old, but speaks like a little adult." The little girl kept sticking to her tonight and asked her to hug her.
Fu Yanzhou inexplicably thought of the company's vice president who had recently quit smoking and was preparing for pregnancy. He asked Min Xi: "When have you thought about having a child?"
Min Xi was stunned. He had never thought about this question before.
The two of them don't have any feelings for each other yet, so it's too early to talk about having children.
She said seriously, "Wait another two years, there's no rush."
Fu Yanzhou was not in a hurry either. As for when to have a child, he respected her decision.
During the second half of the journey home, Fu Yanzhou handled work on his mobile phone while Min Xi leaned against the car window to look at the night view outside. Tonight he felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and he didn't know whether he should be sad or happy.
Thoughts are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins and cannot be pulled back no matter how hard you try.
Min Xi came back to his senses only when the car stopped in the yard of the villa.
Fu Yanzhou had not interrupted her thoughts just now, "What are you thinking about?"
Min Xi always responds fluently: "I'm wondering how to arrange the media seats for the press conference."
"Try not to think about work when you rest today." Fu Yanzhou pushed the door open.
When they reached the second floor, Min Xi went to her study first. She and Fu Yanzhou had their own study rooms, so they didn't disturb each other when they worked overtime at night.
She turned on her computer and sat down, trying to regulate the unnecessary emotions.
She found something to do to divert her attention and sent a message to her mother: [Mom, who chased who between you and dad? 】In order not to let her mother notice anything unusual, she added a smirking emoticon.
Jiang Rui replied to her daughter in voice, adjusting her breathing before speaking, with a smile in her voice: "I won't tell you, ask your dad."
Min Xi smiled and said: [Then it must be your dad who is pursuing you. 】
I called and talked to my mother for a while. Her voice was pleasant and gentle, and very healing.
"Mom, how can we manage this kind of marriage successfully? Just like you and dad, you never quarrel and your relationship is still so good after so many years."
Jiang Rui couldn't answer her daughter's question. Her daughter only saw the surface: "I'm still busy. I'll talk to you in person when mommy has a rest."
When she learned that her mother was still working overtime, she told her mother not to get too tired and hung up the phone reluctantly.
Min Xi drank a glass of water, calmed down and prepared to read the information.
"Xixi, why don't you take a shower and go to bed?" As he said this, Fu Yanzhou walked to the door of her study. Min Xi took out several pieces of tissue paper and wrapped them around her left index finger.
Fu Yanzhou frowned: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Min Xi nudged his chin towards the pile of freshly printed documents on the table, "I didn't pay attention and got cut by the paper."
Fu Yanzhou walked in and asked, "Is the cut deep?"
"have no idea."
I don't feel the wound yet. It's bleeding but it doesn't hurt.
The tissue was soaked with blood, so she threw it into the trash can and replaced it with a few more sheets of paper.
Fu Yanzhou put down his phone and handed it over: "Let me see it."
She repeated, "It's okay. Just disinfect it."
She didn't take this minor wound seriously, so Fu Yanzhou didn't take it to heart either.
"Do you need to work overtime?" he asked.
Min Xi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I won't add any more and will go to bed right away."
Fu Yanzhou said "hmm" and turned back to the bedroom.
After the bleeding stopped, Min Xi simply disinfected the wound and put a Band-Aid on his hand. Only then did he feel a slight pain in the wound.
Fu Yanzhou was taking a shower. She removed her makeup with one hand in front of the sink outside. After a lot of effort, she finally removed her makeup, but it was very inconvenient to wash her hair with one hand.
The shower inside was turned off and the sound of water suddenly stopped.
After a few minutes, Fu Yanzhou came out in a bathrobe, with water dripping from his short black hair. He changed to a dry towel and continued to wipe.
Seeing her brushing her teeth, I looked at her in the mirror and asked, "You don't want to take a shower?"
Min Xi rinsed his mouth before speaking: "I'm taking a bath."
Fu Yanzhou nodded to show that he understood, and stood beside her, slowly wiping his hair.
Min Xi suddenly turned to look at him and shook his index finger: "I can't wash my hair tonight."
Fu Yanzhou paused while wiping his hair and looked at her for a moment, "Let me help you wash it?"
This is what Min Xi planned: "Don't you have experience? It shouldn't be difficult."
On the day she got drunk in Shanghai, he helped her remove her makeup and washed her hair.
Fu Yanzhou's eyes were deep, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "The hair I washed doesn't meet your requirements."
"Didn't you wash it well last time?"
"That's because you're not sober."
“…”
Min Xi smiled: "It's okay, I don't mind."
Fu Yanzhou had a feeling that there would be another unpleasant experience tonight. If she saw with her own eyes how he washed her hair and how he rinsed it, it was possible that she would get mad on the spot.
Just in case, he resolved the conflict first.
He took a half step forward, and Min Xi was overshadowed by his tall figure. Before she could react, he leaned over and pressed his lips against hers: "Let me make it clear first, if the shower doesn't suit your taste, you are not allowed to sulk or find fault."
Min Xi took the opportunity to put her arm around his waist and assured him, "I won't be angry."
When she wanted to continue the deep kiss, he stood up straight.
There was a head difference in height between them, so she couldn't kiss him unless he bent down.
Fu Yanzhou patted her on the back and asked her to let go.
There is an electric shampoo bed in the bathroom, but it is rarely used. He found the instruction manual and studied how to use it.
There is no such thing as a wireless router at home in Shanghai, so he is thinking about buying one someday in case of emergency.
"Min Xi?"
“Here I come.”
Min Xi changed out of her long dress from the day and came in wrapped in a bath towel.
She tucked the towel in around her chest and rolled it a few times, keeping it firmly against her body.
The bath towel was not wide enough and only covered my legs.
Fu Yanzhou's gaze fell on her porcelain-white, straight legs for a few seconds, then he retracted his gaze and motioned for her to lie down.
Min Xi lay down, Fu Yanzhou bent down, and the cool breath from his body blended into her breath.
She looked at him backwards, without blinking.
Fu Yanzhou felt uncomfortable being stared at by her: "Close your eyes."
Min Xi: "Just don't look at me."
Fu Yanzhou couldn't win the argument by reasoning with her, and if he forced her to do so, she would get angry.
He wrung out a hot towel, folded it and put it on her eyes as a warm compress.
Min Xi's dry eyes felt better and she no longer insisted on looking at him. She just lay there quietly with a hot compress on.
Fu Yanzhou pushed her long hair behind her head. Her hair was soft and fresh. She had washed it last night, and after a day, there was still a faint scent of shampoo in her hair.
"With your hair quality, you can't tell if you don't wash it for a day."
He just said it casually, no other meaning.
Min Xi thought he didn't want to wash it, but she wanted to feel how he washed her hair when she was awake tonight, so she made an excuse: "I actually have oily hair. If I don't wash it for a day, I can't stand it the next morning."
Fu Yanzhou looked at her hair carefully and it didn't look oily.
Maybe it’s because I just washed my face a day ago, so the oiliness isn’t noticeable yet.
"Who wants to wash their hair every day?" She acted convincingly, "But there's nothing I can do. You don't understand the troubles of oily hair, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Fu Yanzhou took it seriously and looked at her shampoo, which was from the moisturizing and hair care series. He suggested to her: "Try changing your shampoo."
Min Xi: “…”
It almost got exposed.
Fortunately, her eyes were covered with a hot towel, so he couldn't see her guilty look.
"Changing shampoo doesn't work." She continued calmly, "I've tried all brands of degreasing shampoo. At first, they worked a little, but after a while, they all felt the same. Since I wash my hair every day, my hairstylist suggested that I use a hair care series."
She deliberately added: "My only worry now is my hair. I envy those who wash their hair every two or three days."
Fu Yanzhou didn't respond, but seemed to be thinking about how to improve her hair quality.
He pulled out the shower head and turned it on, wetting her hair. He forgot to cover her ears, and the water sprayed directly onto her earlobes and poured into her ears.
"What are you doing!" Min Xi pulled off the towel covering her eyes and tried to sit up reflexively, but Fu Yanzhou held her shoulders and said, "You can't sit. Lie on your side."
He smiled helplessly and explained: "It was not intentional."
Min Xi turned sideways, tapped his ears, and water flowed out.
Fu Yanzhou: "Didn't we agree not to be angry?"
"Not angry." Min Xi reached out to the cotton swab box on the shelf, took out a few cotton swabs and dipped them into the water in his ears, and asked him, "Did you do the same thing last time you washed your hair?"
Fu Yanzhou did not respond.
The answer is self-evident.
He said, "Prepare earplugs for you next time."
"No need." Min Xi lay down and pressed his fingers on his ears.
It took more than twenty minutes to wash my hair.
During this time, water and shampoo foam covered her hands and forehead. Min Xi felt that she was asking for trouble, but when he coaxed her a few times, she felt particularly happy.
He had never coaxed her in such a gentle voice.
Min Xi sat up and Fu Yanzhou blew her hair.
He stood behind her and she leaned back into his arms.
Fu Yanzhou lowered his eyes to look at the person in front of him. It was inconvenient for him to blow his hair with her leaning against him like this. He wanted to signal her to sit down, but he swallowed the words back and let her lean on him.
After blow-drying her hair, Yan Heyu called him.
Fu Yanzhou picked up the phone and went to the study to answer it. He talked about Ling Yu's expectations for the tax benefits of the Jiangcheng project and about signing the contract immediately. Yan Heyu called him to discuss some details.
After the conversation, he asked Yan Heyu whether he had ever been involved in the field of daily chemical products.
Yan Heyu: “I have never invested in daily chemicals.”
I couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you ask this?"
Fu Yanzhou didn't say it was because of Min Xi, "Just asking casually."
Yan Heyu thought of Xu Xiangyi: "Mr. Xu has invested in it before, but I'm not sure whether he still holds shares now. You can ask him."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanzhou didn't ask his uncle immediately.
This matter cannot be explained clearly over the phone, so we can talk in person at my uncle's house another day.
