Chapter 23 Warmth
Two days later, Cheng Sinian finally returned to the Jiang family mansion under Jiang Zhan's urgent urging.
But he was obviously caught off guard by the changes in Jiang's house.
Cheng Sinian stood at the door of the main house, carrying a suitcase, looking at Qiao Yu with an expression that was hard to describe. "Have you been brainwashed by Jiang Zhan?"
Otherwise, how could she tolerate Jiang Zhan's obvious intention to build another cage for her, and even supervise him with a calm face.
Qiao Yu was amused by him. It seemed that Jiang Zhan hadn't told him the truth. So she blinked and said playfully, "No, Jiang Zhan was brainwashed by me."
Cheng Sinian had a look of shock on his face, and he began to silently worry about his future mental state. Jiang Zhan was fine, but now even Qiao Yu was starting to become abnormal... If he was with two crazy people every day, he would go crazy sooner or later, right?
Cheng Sinian sighed, but finally walked into the main house with a tragic expression, and went to the kitchen to cook lunch without complaint, and called Qiao Yu to come in and eat.
The construction team had a special person to order meals for them, so Qiao Yu and Cheng Sinian didn't have to worry about it. Jiang Zhan wouldn't be back at noon, so Cheng Sinian only prepared portions for him and Qiao Yu.
Cheng Sinian took two mouthfuls of rice and felt that Qiao Yu only ate a little and didn't move anymore. He thought that the food was not to her liking. Just when he was about to ask her what she wanted to eat, he met Qiao Yu's gaze.
Cheng Sinian felt a chill run down his spine when she looked at him. "Why are you looking at me?" It wasn't that Cheng Sinian was timid, it was just that the way Qiao Yu was staring at him was too terrifying. It was like a wolf that had been hungry for many days suddenly seeing meat, leaving him completely confused.
Qiao Yu didn't care about his wary expression. She just looked at him eagerly and said in surprise, "You can actually cook?" And the food tasted pretty good.
Cheng Sinian held his forehead helplessly, expecting something to happen, and startled him. "Miss, I still have to be aware of my situation, okay? I can't just stay at the Jiang family and eat dry meals forever, right?" He put another piece of food into his mouth with his chopsticks and mumbled, "I've been living on my own since my internship in my senior year. Isn't it normal for me to know how to cook?" Why make such a fuss...
Qiao Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, but lowered her head and began to eat quietly. But Cheng Sinian had studied psychology and could tell at a glance that she was in a very happy mood at the moment. However, he didn't understand what she was so happy about. He could cook, so why should she be so happy?
Cheng Sinian certainly didn't know that in Qiao Yu's eyes, he had become the biggest beast... uh, no, a labor force.
Although Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan had stockpiled a large amount of food, aside from instant foods and snacks, most of it consisted of raw meat and fresh vegetables. After the apocalypse, they would be constantly on the road, making cooking a hassle. Even if they stopped to find a place to stay, they would need to consider the people around them and other safety factors. Therefore, the best solution was to prepare as much food as possible in the space before the apocalypse, making it much more convenient later. This was also Qiao Yu's original motivation for purchasing disposable lunch boxes.
But Qiao Yu had been pampered since childhood. Even if she knew how to cook, it was only a few, intermittent lessons from her auntie, a whim. Her culinary skills were limited. After the apocalypse, cooking was even more impossible; she couldn't even touch the dishes. She had been worried about wasting ingredients, but now, that problem was solved. It was like searching for gold, only to find it effortlessly.
In the afternoon, Cheng Sinian did not go to work. He stayed in the room all afternoon. No one knew what he was doing, but he still cooked dinner.
After dinner, Qiao Yu pulled Jiang Zhan back to the room and asked curiously, "What did you say to Cheng Sinian? Why didn't he even go to work? He shouldn't be able to take a day off at this critical moment." As a medical worker, shouldn't Cheng Sinian be on the front line of the hospital at this time?
Jiang Zhan carried her to sit on the sofa, took her hand, and while giving her the supplies he had collected today, he whispered, "I told him that the servants have all left and the family is in need of a cook. If he doesn't ask for leave, I'll go to the hospital to handle his resignation."
Qiao Yu laughed after hearing this. "How pitiful! It seems he's been exploited by you a lot..."
As long as Qiao Yu was happy, Jiang Zhan would be happy too. Jiang Zhan looked at her lovingly as she smiled into his arms. Her bright and flamboyant smile was deeply imprinted in his eyes, making him feel itchy in his heart.
The transfer of supplies was unnoticed. Jiang Zhan, as if bewitched, lowered his head and kissed her smiling eyes. Then, he slid his tongue down her smooth, delicate cheek and captured her soft lips. His nimble tongue easily pried open her teeth, burrowing unhindered into her warm, swathes of her mouth, wantonly licking every inch of her skin. He then captured her soft, tender tongue, curling it up, tugging and sucking.
Qiao Yu tilted her head back to accept his kiss until she felt a surge of heat entering her clothes and kneading her small breasts through the thin bra. Suddenly, her alarm bells went off. She turned her head away from his kiss and hurriedly shouted, "I, I haven't showered yet!" Then she pushed him away and crawled into the bathroom.
Jiang Zhan wasn't angry at her sudden push. He slowly pulled out his tie, unbuttoned his clothes, and stripped himself naked. Then he walked to the bathroom door, pushed it open, and locked it with a click.
Before Qiao Yu could turn around, her back was pressed against a burning chest. Her sensitive earlobe fell into the warm mouth, staining it a faint red.
Jiang Zhan has always been strong in this kind of thing. Qiao Yu couldn't refuse and could only let him drag her down and indulge her to the utmost.
Qiao Yu was tormented by Jiang Zhan all night, from the bathroom to the bedroom, until the dawn finally came, when he finally let her go. She tilted her head and fell asleep, not even noticing Jiang Zhan washing her and changing her clothes.
The next day, Qiao Yu slept until noon. After waking up, he still felt sore and weak all over, unable to move. He could only lie on the bed like a piece of rag.
Qiao Yu thought that she would never confess her feelings easily again.
Last night, she was just forced by him to say that she liked him when she was in a state of passion, and she was tortured into this state. If she said anything else, what would happen?
Qiao Yu lay in bed for a while, then struggled to get a bottle of fruit water from the space and drank it. Only then did he feel the pain ease a lot. Then he dragged his limp body out of bed, washed up, and prepared to go downstairs to eat something.
But when Qiao Yu stood in front of the mirror and looked at the ambiguous marks all over her neck and collarbone, which had even spread to her chin, she decisively gave up the idea of going downstairs and angrily called Jiang Zhan.
The phone was picked up as soon as it rang, and Jiang Zhan's gentle voice came to my ears: "Baby, are you awake?"
The anger that had just ignited in Qiao Yu was like being poured with a basin of water, and it was extinguished with a "hiss".
"Hmm..." Qiao Yu pursed her lips and responded shyly. But thinking of the marks on her body, she still felt a little aggrieved. She pouted and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "How could you leave such obvious marks? I don't even dare to go downstairs now..."
Jiang Zhan understood instantly and chuckled softly: "It's okay, Cheng Sinian won't say anything. He doesn't dare."
Qiao Yu bit her lip and said, "That won't do either. It's so embarrassing..."
Jiang Zhan felt a tingling sensation in his heart, and he coaxed softly, "Then I'll go back to accompany you now, but it will take about an hour to get home. You can eat something from the space first and wait for me to come back, okay?"
Qiao Yu felt a sweet sensation in her heart, but she still didn't want to delay things, so she quietly refused, "No... You don't have to come back specially. I'll wait for you at home. Just come back after you're done." Gathering supplies was entirely up to him, so how could he have so much time to accompany her? She couldn't help much, but at least she couldn't cause him any trouble.
Jiang Zhan listened to her sweet and sensible words, and felt his heart soften. His voice was full of love: "Okay, then I will go back early to accompany you in the evening, okay?"
Qiao Yu smiled shyly, "Okay."
