Chapter 57
Shen Yuqing gently pressed his lips with his index finger, and realized belatedly that it was not a dream.
He kissed Xia Ruirui when they were 26 years old.
“…”
When he realized this, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He looked at Xia Ruirui's closed door, and the emotions in his eyes seemed to be almost uncontrollable.
Realizing that the other person was shy, he couldn't help but chuckle again.
But when both of them calmed down, they tacitly chose to pretend nothing had happened.
Xia Ruirui was embarrassed, while Shen Yuqing felt that the two of them were moving too fast.
Out of a kind of mentality that the more someone cares, the more cautious they become, he was afraid that if he was too eager for quick success, he would scare someone into retreating into her shell again.
Therefore, the following situation is formed: undercurrents are surging under the sea, but above the sea surface, it is peaceful and tranquil.
An hour later, Xia Ruirui pretended to have just woken up and stretched as she walked out of the bedroom.
She yawned non-existently and looked at Shen Yuqing: “You just woke up too?”
“…” Shen Yuqing pursed his lips, trying his best to restrain himself from letting the corners of his lips curl up, “Well, are you asleep too?”
Xia Ruirui said stubbornly, "Yeah, I felt sleepy so I took a nap."
Shen Yuqing knew that she was playing dumb, but he didn't expose her. He just nodded in cooperation, but his drooping eyebrows were full of indulgence for her.
He folded the quilt on the sofa, stood up and picked up his coat that was placed aside. His voice was a little low: "Then I'll be leaving first. I have a live broadcast tonight."
Shen Yuqing didn't want to leave, but there was a live broadcast tonight. If he delayed any longer, he would be late for his car.
He looked up at Xia Ruirui and saw reluctance in her eyes. Although his expression did not change when he realized this, he was secretly happy in his heart.
He walked forward and hugged her, gently resting his head on top of her hair: "I'll come to see you tomorrow."
He wanted to loosen his arms, but Xia Ruirui grabbed his sleeve and said, “Chen Yuqing, you can live broadcast in my study.”
"Don't go." Xia Ruirui herself might not have noticed that the coquettishness in her words was almost overflowing.
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing's heart softened, and he hardly thought about it: "Okay."
He compromised too quickly, and Xia Ruirui felt a little embarrassed. She touched her nose and said, "Then I'll go clean up your study."
After saying that, she quickly went into the study and didn't come out for a long time.
The door of the study was half open. Shen Yuqing watched Xia Ruirui busying around, his eyes seemed to be glued to her, moving with her movements.
Since the death of his parents, Shen Yuqing has been living like a lonely ghost, wandering in this world.
It was not until this moment that he began to feel at ease. Although it was an unfamiliar environment, because of Xia Ruirui's presence, he felt like he was at home.
And Xia Ruirui's home.
He was still in a daze, but when he saw Xia Ruirui was about to turn around, he quickly looked away.
He was afraid that she would run away after seeing the love in his eyes, so he learned to hide his feelings.
"You have to act like a normal person and not scare her away."
However, Xia Ruirui on the other side was completely oblivious to his emotions. She put away all her photo albums on the desk and turned to look at him: "I've sorted them out."
"good."
As soon as Shen Yuqing finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door. He looked at Xia Ruirui and said, "The takeaway I ordered is here."
After saying that, he turned to open the door, and after taking it, he handed one of the bags to her: "This is the spicy salad I ordered for you."
Hearing this, Xia Ruirui's eyes lit up: "Then you should do your live broadcast well."
"good."
Shen Yuqing looked at her jumping figure, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his eyes were full of joy.
Even when he was live streaming, he always had a smile on his face, so much so that every fan who entered the live broadcast room would ask a question in the barrage.
[Am I dazzled, or what? Is Brother Chen laughing?]
[Help, I've always wanted to ask this.]
【I thought it was AI-generated. 】
[Could it be that our Brother Chen is going to be a father? ]
【Hahahahahahahahahahahaha the person above is so funny. 】
…
Chen Yuqing had been concentrating on playing the game and didn't look at the barrage. Instead, Zhang Xiaotiao, who was far away in the Xijing studio, was frantically clearing the barrage.
He was also confused. Brother Chen was clearly in Xijing yesterday, but he suddenly sent him a WeChat message in the afternoon, saying that he was on a business trip in another place for the next two days.
He is Brother Shen's assistant. If Brother Shen has a business trip schedule, how could he not know?
Could it be that Brother Shen got a new assistant behind his back?
The more Zhang Xiaotiao thought about it, the sadder he felt. He and Brother Shen had a life-long friendship. Before, there was an earthquake in Yunjin where Sister Ruirui was, but he accompanied Brother Shen to rescue for thousands of miles!
Now Brother Shen actually has another assistant. Thinking of this, he even felt a little sore in his nose.
As soon as the live broadcast ended, he couldn't wait to send a text message to Brother Shen.
"Brother Shen, don't you want me anymore?"
Shen Yuqing raised his eyebrows when he saw this text message, thinking that the assistant had sent it by mistake: "?"
The assistant was even more upset when he saw the question mark: "Brother Chen, do you have a new assistant?"
Shen Yuqing looked at his phone and was speechless for a moment. He was not just speechless.
He looked outside and saw Xia Ruirui eating spicy food with a satisfied look on her face, then looked back at the message sent by the assistant.
What he didn't understand was why everyone who got along well with Xia Ruirui had unconventional ways of thinking.
Or is it because their thinking patterns are not normal that they get along so well with her.
Shen Yuqing still remembers the first time the young assistant came to the studio to apply for a job.
He was not there at the time, and the studio planner gave his cell phone number to the assistant.
Shen Yuqing doesn't like answering calls, so he sets up an AI assistant to answer them automatically.
As a result, Zhang Xiaotiao thought the AI was him and started chatting with the AI assistant.
One person and one machine could actually chat for five minutes. When Shen Yuqing saw the recording of the two, he was also shocked.
Zhang Xiaotiao's resume was the worst among the submitted ones, but Shen Yuqing still accepted him in the end.
When Shen Yuqing saw the five-minute chat record between Zhang Xiaotiao and AI, he didn't laugh, but inexplicably thought of Xia Ruirui.
He thought that only a fool like Xia Ruirui would do such a stupid thing.
Because of this inexplicable similarity, he finally chose Zhang Xiaotiao as his assistant.
During the years of separation from Xia Ruirui, Gu Zijin and Shen Qingli were afraid that he would be sad, so they deliberately never mentioned her.
Even the game where he used a small account to disguise himself as a stranger on the Internet, Xia Ruirui gradually stopped logging in.
His connection with her was almost non-existent, and even his memories of her were becoming increasingly dim.
But only Shen Yuqing himself knew how uncomfortable this feeling was.
When I think of Xia Ruirui again, the longing that has seeped into my heart will be relieved a little.
When he met the young assistant, he felt that he and Xia Ruirui would definitely get along well.
Looking at the text message sent by the assistant, he felt that the two people's train of thought were exactly the same.
It's hard to understand.
The text message sent by the assistant just a minute ago is still clearly visible.
"Brother Shen, do you have a new assistant?"
Shen Yuqing pursed his lips and replied directly: "I'm in Beiyi, with your sister Ruirui."
Almost the next second, the assistant sent a starry-eyed emoticon: "Brother Chen, are you and your sister-in-law together?"
The title of sister-in-law is like stepping on someone's heart.
So Shen Yuqing patiently replied to him: "Yeah."
Zhang Xiaotiao, knowing he hadn't fallen out of favor, was instantly overjoyed. "Brother Chen, don't worry. I'll support you from behind."
"Go ahead, go and have a romantic relationship with your sister-in-law regardless of the consequences!"
“…”
What kind of passionate and second-rate speech was this? Shen Yuqing didn't respond, but ignored it directly, stood up and walked towards Xia Ruirui.
Feeling the shadow in front of her, Xia Ruirui finally raised her head from the spicy hot pot and looked at him: "Chen Yuqing, are you ready for the live broadcast?"
Seeing her mouth full of sauce, Shen Yuqing curled his lips, raised his hand and wiped it for her with his fingertips without using a tissue.
When the tip of the index finger touched the corner of the lips, both of them felt an electric shock for a moment, but fortunately the touch lasted only a short time.
Xia Ruirui turned her face away and suppressed her heart palpitations.
When she came to her senses, she was unwilling to be at a disadvantage, so she turned her head back and bit someone's index finger.
But she soon loosened her teeth.
Looking at the clear teeth marks left by the fingertips, the person who was stunned became Shen Yuqing.
He looked at his index finger with his head down and said nothing, then turned his head and looked at Xia Ruirui. His eyes were extremely dark, as if he was restraining something.
But Xia Ruirui lowered her head and pretended to be stupid, and did not see his eyes at the moment.
It was like a wolf staring at its prey, patiently not attacking and suppressing its instinctive desires.
Shen Yuqing calmly put his hands behind his back and pinched his right hand fiercely with his left hand.
There was still someone's saliva on his fingertips, but he was still rational and did not do anything abnormal.
The two were still flirting with each other, but a phone call interrupted their ambiguous atmosphere.
Shen Yuqing didn't know who called, but he noticed that Xia Ruirui's expression suddenly became serious after receiving the call.
After hanging up the phone, he pretended to ask casually, "Who is it?"
"Ji Chuyao."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing's body stiffened, but Xia Ruirui beside him didn't notice anything wrong with him at all and went straight back to the bedroom.
