The study inside was dimly lit. Tong Su pushed open the door and saw Xi Chenzhou sitting at his desk.
He appeared to have just washed his face; a strand of damp hair hung beside his handsome cheek as he stared intently at the glowing screen.
His long, slender hands, with distinct knuckles, tapped away at the keyboard, his brows furrowed and his thin lips pursed.
Tong Su tiptoed and quietly walked behind him.
However, just as she got close to him, Xi Chenzhou reached back and precisely grabbed her wrist, pulling her down. Tong Su cried out in surprise as she fell into a cool embrace.
Ouch!
She braced herself against his arm with one hand, looked up, and met his smiling eyes. His chest was strong and muscular, though not muscular, but the smooth muscle lines could still be clearly felt under his shirt.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of mint emanating from him, along with a faint mist of moisture, creating a warm, hazy atmosphere that seemed to warm my cheeks as well.
Tong Su smiled, her eyes crinkling. She didn't bother to get up, but instead put her arm around his shoulder and said with a grin, "How did you know it was me if you didn't turn around? What if someone else had walked by?"
"If no one else has such light footsteps as you, I won't let her in."
He lowered his head, his eyes filled with a gentle smile, their foreheads almost touching. In his deep eyes, only she was reflected, a tender moment.
What were you doing on the computer just now?
She asked softly.
Xi Chenzhou moved his arm to let her change to a more comfortable position, and with his other hand, he opened a page and gestured for her to look: "I've arranged some things."
He was sending an email, and when he saw the recipient, Tong Su was taken aback.
"Cat Cub Studio?"
Isn't this the biggest paparazzi team in the entertainment industry?
Closing the email page opens the web version of Weibo.
The trending topics are dominated by what happened on set today. The acting competition poll posted by the influential blogger has just opened, and the options for himself and Lan Shuer are red and blue respectively, with the numbers jumping around rapidly.
Xi Tongsu: 1743 votes.
Lan Shuer: 432 votes.
Xi Chenzhou smiled slightly and did not explain, but said, "You will know tomorrow morning. You have been busy all day, so you might as well get some rest."
Tong Su knew that Xi Chenzhou must have arranged everything for her, so she nodded, stood up, and took the bottles and jars to remove her makeup and wash up.
When she came out patting on the face mask essence, she was surprised to find that Xi Chenzhou had not left. Instead, he was carrying a bathrobe and calmly walking towards the guest room bathroom!
"!"
Her eyes widened, and unusually, she remembered to cover her face to prevent the essence from dripping down, stammering, "Brother?"
Xi Chenzhou turned around, nodded to her, and said, "I'm going to wash up."
"Wait... how come... are the hotel suites all booked?"
Xi Chenzhou raised an eyebrow, his expression calm: "Not full."
"Then what are you doing in my room?!"
You want me to leave?
Tong Su quickly shook her head. She naturally didn't want to kick Xi Chenzhou out, but suddenly, he seemed to be planning to stay in the suite tonight.
Actually, the two of them had shared a suite before. When she first landed in this world, it was Xi Chenzhou who rescued her from the paparazzi. That night, Xi Chenzhou slept in the room next to her master bedroom.
but……
Xi Tongsu scratched her head, looking conflicted.
She always felt that this time was different from that time... Back then, he was her brother, so it didn't matter.
But now—
Now, she and Ji Yu have fallen out. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it's basically considered a breakup. She just needs to return the engagement ring to him later.
It's fair to say that she's single again.
And Xi Chenzhou's actions... also seemed to be pressing closer step by step.
As if he had finally made up his mind, he calmly, yet forcefully, entered her life.
