Everything was pitch black.
Yuan Qingli took a slow breath, just about to curse.
A strange smell instantly entered my nostrils and permeated my heart and lungs.
The cool, woody scent, unique to domineering CEOs, is like walking through a snow-covered forest, your nose twitching, and a faint tobacco scent wafting through the air.
She pulled the suit jacket off her face and glanced at Bo Zijin.
The night was quite chilly. When did this guy become so understanding?
In the dim light, a hint of disdain crept onto that cold, handsome face.
"It's just a piece of clothing."
Yuan Qingli was about to thank him when she heard Bo Zijin say, "My dislike for you and my being a gentleman are not contradictory."
Hearing him say that, Yuan Qingli accepted it without any qualms.
"If you're in danger or in pain, I'll give you a final blow as a thank you. Thanks for your clothes."
Bo Zijin suddenly wanted to throw away that damned gentlemanly etiquette!
Even if you threw the suit jacket in the trash, you shouldn't have given it to this woman!
Yuan Qingli lay on her side with her arm as a pillow, covered by her suit jacket, and closed her eyes for a short rest.
Whether she can fall asleep or not, only she knows.
The remaining two men noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Hey, Bo Zijin, what's the happiest thing that's ever happened to you?"
Lu Xingyun leaned against the tree trunk, looking lazy.
With a nonchalant smile, he said, "I'm not prying into your privacy, I'm just looking for fun. If you share it, we'll have an extra layer of protection in case we run into it."
Quietly, the music of parting is played.
Silence is an awkward solo dance.
"My happiest moments are when I'm back in my hometown, brushing my favorite little pony, watching it joyfully gallop away in the sunset, its shadow stretching to the horizon in the afterglow of the setting sun..."
Lu Xingyun's face was beaming with a happy smile.
Perhaps having been given a chance to talk, Bo Zijin actually chimed in.
"My happiest moment was that winter. The instant I walked in, everyone had their heads down, except for her, who sat opposite me with a stern face. The company lobby was a bit cold, but I saw a mountain of vibrant peach blossoms, carried by the spring breeze and rain, scattering green buds all over the ground..."
For the first time ever, Bo Zijin's sharp eyes sparkled with happiness.
Yuan Qingli fell asleep.
She had a dream.
In her dream, she was taking a shower, and then she ran across an endless meadow, chasing the sunset, only to step into a magnificent hall.
Blazer, pencil skirt.
A cold, aloof boss walked towards me. This boss was unsmiling yet incredibly handsome. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he turned and went into... the women's restroom.
Is this person directionally challenged?!
Her boss walked around to her, grabbed her sleeve, and shook it vigorously, just like his six-year-old nephew.
"Stop shaking it, everyone's watching!" Yuan Qingli shouted.
The shaking grew stronger and stronger until a faint fragrance brought her back to her senses.
"Yuan Qingli, wake up." It was Lu Xingyun's soft voice calling out.
Yuan Qingli opened her sleepy eyes and looked in the direction of the two people who were leaning against the wall.
Instantly, all sleepiness vanished like dust into the air, leaving no trace.
He was a magician...
Silver hair and golden eyes, the gaze cold and faintly tinged with blood.
He wore a top black hat. In his right hand he rested his hand on a black cane umbrella, the top of which was inlaid with a bright red gemstone.
It was carved into the shape of a rose.
Under the moonlight, a third kind of crimson blooms.
Her silver, medium-length hair, bathed in the cool moonlight, was breathtakingly beautiful.
He was so handsome that Yuan Qingli couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beauty!"
But beauty can be poisonous.
It is extremely poisonous.
