Chapter 23 The Apartment Showdown Day 3 Could you... please stop bullying me...?
Are you up yet?
Morning: 9:00:01.
Xie Ruan's tablet received the message precisely at that moment.
But Xie Ruan didn't have the energy to check who was sending him the message at that exact moment.
Instead, as if instinctively dodging, Xie Ruan took a step back.
The washroom in the early morning was damp and stuffy after being washed, and a faint minty smell of toothpaste lingered in the air, yet Zhou Jingchi wanted to get closer and closer.
Zhou Jingchi had never had any patience for boys. His features were flamboyant, and his slightly upturned eyebrows carried an aggressive air. His body leaning closer to Xie Ruan created a stark contrast between them.
Zhou Jingchi was not only a head taller than Xie Ruan, but also a size larger. As he quietly approached Xie Ruan, he even noticed that Xie Ruan's face seemed smaller than he had seen before, especially her evasive and teasing manner as she tried to hide behind the mirror, which aroused his playful desire to tease her.
Xie Ruan was cornered with nowhere to retreat.
Are you up yet?
[Xie Ruan, I'm Ji Ye's assistant.]
Xie Ruan's tablet kept lighting up and vibrating. As if trying to escape, Xie Ruan instinctively reached out her slender hand towards the tablet. But unexpectedly, just as she was about to touch it, her beautiful, slender fingers were suddenly enveloped by a warm, round hand.
Xie Ruan failed to catch the tablet.
What's going on?
Xie Ruan was inherently afraid of people; her social anxiety was innate. In the apocalypse, in a world where the strong prey on the weak, Xie Ruan witnessed too many people starving to the point of having nowhere to retreat, and saw their own kind killing each other. This made Xie Ruan develop a reflexive fear of people.
Xie Ruan subconsciously shrank back a bit, and even her clothes became wrinkled as she shrank back.
However, when Xie Ruan reached for the tablet again, Zhou Jingchi suddenly stopped him and instead wrapped his rough fingers around Xie Ruan's thin arm.
uncomfortable.
Xie Ruan's eyes reddened.
An inexplicable sense of grievance washed over me.
It wasn't like this in the novel! Zhou Jingchi never came back! The author lied! Waaah, this isn't the idyllic job I imagined at all. He'd been fooled.
Xie Ruan felt wronged, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and the tip of her nose turned red. For some reason, she inexplicably aroused the urge to tease her, and she took a big step, completely encircling the huge glass of the bathroom.
Xie Ruan sniffed, and the hot breath she exhaled silently formed an outline on the glass, quickly blurring the mirror and making the reflection in the mirror hazy, covered with the heat.
Xie Ruan thought that by not speaking, he could make Zhou Jingchi lose interest in bullying him. However, Xie Ruan's refusal to speak and his slightly upturned chin only made Zhou Jingchi more interested.
He then picked up his rough fingers and brushed them against the back of Xie Ruan's ear.
Xie Ruan had never been touched like this before, and the tips of her ears trembled involuntarily.
Zhou Jingchi picked up a tuft of Xie Ruan's soft, slightly wavy, milk tea-colored hair and started playing with it.
Xie Ruan dared not move any further. Zhou Jingchi's heat enveloped him, and Xie Ruan felt it spraying onto his cheeks, which made him very uncomfortable and gave him the urge to kick Zhou Jingchi.
But Zhou Jingchi was too big, and Xie Ruan didn't dare to offend him. So she just stood there, her beautiful back taut, letting him play with her and making strange little laughs.
Zhou Jingchi chuckled softly, "How did Ji Ye interact with you when you were alone last time?"
Zhou Jingchi was clearly very big and looked quite scary, but when he smiled, there was an inexplicable meaning to it, making people, no matter how scared they were, unable to help but secretly and cautiously raise their eyes to steal a glance.
Xie Ruan lowered his head again to avoid the situation. He felt Zhou Jingchi lower his head, his hot breath blowing on his neck. Xie Ruan subconsciously dodged. In order to find something to do, he even picked up his black-rimmed glasses to cover his face.
Xie Ruan was already on edge.
Unexpectedly, when the two were extremely quiet, they barked twice, interrupting them.
Xie Ruan trembled subconsciously, and only when she turned her head did she realize that Xiao Hei had woken up.
"Little Black..."
"Woof woof!"
Xie Ruan's voice was very soft, but the space between them was small enough for Zhou Jingchi to hear her name.
?
Little Black?
Zhou Jingchi turned his head to look at his general, who was being enthusiastically called "Little Black".
? ? ?
Haven't seen you for a few days.
He even renamed all his dogs?
They respond like a puppy-dog when given a name like that??
Zhou Jingchi inexplicably felt that this dog would soon no longer be his dog.
The dog's tail was wagging even more enthusiastically towards others.
This was undoubtedly a situation that Zhou Jingchi had never seen before.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the general was Xie Ruan's sycophant.
Normally, Zhou Jingchi would have been jealous in this situation.
But for some reason, Zhou Jingchi turned his head to look at Xie Ruan, who had just been avoiding him, but now turned his head to look at the general, with a slight smile on his lips.
The atmosphere around Zhou Jingchi started to turn sour.
"Woof woof." The general wagged his tail wildly around Xie Ruan.
Zhou Jingchi couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing the general leaping and trying to pounce on Xie Ruan, he raised his foot and kicked his general out the door.
The door is closed.
Zhou Jingchi didn't exert any force at all.
The general, however, started pawing at the door from the outside.
Until Zhou Jingchi spoke: "General."
The general finally calmed down.
Zhou Jingchi then turned his attention back to Xie Ruan.
That's strange.
Zhou Jingchi raised an eyebrow, playing with Xie Ruan's hair. Seeing Xie Ruan almost crying, he subconsciously paused, not even realizing that he softened his tone slightly: "Um, no, the general is a fierce dog. If he pounces on you, he could hurt you. Don't let him pounce on you. You're too delicate." How could someone so fragile withstand that?
Zhou Jingchi: "General, you have no sense of proportion."
Zhou Jingchi: "But don't be afraid, I'm here, he won't hurt you..."
Zhou Jingchi's voice was very soft.
The air was gently pressed against Xie Ruan's eardrum, its warm breath tickling her. Xie Ruan didn't know why, but although her body was still trembling with fear, her gaze remained fixed on Zhou Jingchi, her fear lessened considerably.
like.
Zhou Jingchi wasn't as scary as he had imagined.
This caused Xie Ruan to inexplicably develop a slight dependence on Zhou Jingchi.
Before Xie Ruan could react, Zhou Jingchi's knee suddenly pressed against the gap between his legs.
...
Xie Ruan tensed up.
Zhou Jingchi moved a little closer and probed again: "How did Ji Ye treat you? Did he do something bad to you? For example, his words suddenly became fierce, and his behavior was inexplicably troubling?"
Xie Ruan nodded as if possessed.
Very bad.
That's terrible!!
Xie Ruan nodded too strongly.
She glanced timidly at Zhou Jingchi, her eyes trembling for no apparent reason.
How could he have blurted it out without thinking...?
Would talking about another employer in front of my current employer violate employee rules and cost me my job?
But Zhou Jingchi got too close. Once he got close, Xie Ruan couldn't help but be controlled by him and confessed everything.
Zhou Jingchi: "Did he bully you? Why did he suddenly get angry? And throw things away?"
Xie Ruan nodded softly.
He remembered that Ji Ye had inexplicably lost the bottle.
With a thud.
That's terrifying.
Xie Ruan nervously clenched her fingers.
Zhou Jingchi: "Did he do anything else to you?"
Xie Ruan tilted her head, then subconsciously shrank back, looking very uneasy.
Zhou Jingchi: "For example, like this."
Zhou Jingchi moved closer, his lips almost touching Xie Ruan's cheek.
Xie Ruan was terrified.
They didn't dare to move an inch.
She let out a faint, almost inaudible hum: "No."
Zhou Jingchi's hand suddenly moved closer: "Thank you, Ruan."
For some unknown reason, he let the heat spray on Xie Ruan's neck, making her feel itchy and causing her to instinctively shrink back.
I feel terrible.
Xie Ruan did not like interacting with people in this way.
He started shaking even more violently.
My fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of someone's clothes, sweating and crumpled from the grip.
Zhou Jingchi: "Do you want to leave Ji Ye forever?"
Zhou Jingchi's voice was so alluring, his words so captivating that Xie Ruan cautiously looked up in his direction.
But Zhou Jingchi just tilted his head and looked at him with a half-smile.
It looked as if they were waiting for a small fish to take the bait, which made Xie Ruan sweat and made her grip her clothes even tighter.
Zhou Jingchi seemed to have lost his temper.
Xie Ruan couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
It seemed that only if Xie Ruan gave a satisfactory answer could he be allowed to leave.
I've been working for quite a while now...
I haven't replied to the message yet...
Xie Ruan tightened her fingers uneasily, shaking her head as if her heart and actions contradicted each other.
They were all his employers; he couldn't afford to offend them.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingchi's insightful eyes seemed to see right through him: "A-Ruan."
...
Zhou Jingchi: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll take it seriously. If you shake your head and it means you like Ji Ye, I'll invite him over and he'll stay here for days."
Xie Ruan was tricked and fell for it instantly.
He shook his head frantically.
don't want.
He doesn't want it.
He doesn't want to see his employer every day!
Xie Ruan broke down.
She didn't care about what would happen next, and frantically tugged at Zhou Jingchi's clothes, begging for help.
Who would have thought that bad men have bad intentions? Zhou Jingchi suddenly possessed him and lifted him up with one hand.
Xie Ruan's body was suspended in mid-air, trembling with fear, and her legs couldn't help but kick.
Unexpectedly, the man chuckled, precisely targeting Xie Ruan's heart: "Don't move around, it will hurt a lot if you fall."
A moment.
Xie Ruan clung tightly to Zhou Jingchi's collar, too afraid to move.
Xie Ruan simply let Zhou Jingchi hold her with one arm.
His uneasy, trembling body remained uncontrollable.
He originally thought that Zhou Jingchi was just playing with him, but after waiting for several seconds, Zhou Jingchi showed no intention of putting him down. Instead, he stood up even straighter and looked at him with a light smile.
His cheeks turned even redder as he watched.
Zhou Jingchi: "A-Ruan, shouldn't we call her something nicer?"
...?
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed red, and she subconsciously met Zhou Jingchi's eyes through her bangs.
Xie Ruan hadn't yet realized what Zhou Jingchi wanted.
Then Zhou Jingchi, like a superhero, suddenly squatted down and stood up while hugging him.
Xie Ruan was thus dragged down into a squatting position by him.
Xie Ruan was completely terrified.
Her whole body trembled even more violently, and with red eyes, she looked at Zhou Jingchi with a pitiful expression.
The sound was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"Could you..."
"No, don't bully me anymore... brother."
QAQ.
