Chapter 36 The Apartment Showdown Day Sixteen: Pressing down on the mirror. ...
It's summer now.
The air conditioning was on indoors, and Xie Ruanming was already inside, having set the temperature to a perfect 24 degrees Celsius.
But for some reason, the indoor temperature, despite being like this, felt icy cold under the sudden dim light of the night.
Xie Ruan couldn't help but let out a slight tremor.
Even Xie Ruan's well-behaved milk tea-colored hair couldn't help but tremble with her body.
The darkness inside made Xie Ruan appear even more pitiful.
But the man held his hands tightly, showing no tenderness whatsoever.
Xie Ruan slightly parted her rosy lips, her timid, dark eyelashes straining as she tried to struggle.
But the man's strength was too great.
Xie Ruan was already somewhat weaker under normal circumstances.
Coupled with the panic of guessing the wrong answer and the unknown identity of the man, Xie Ruan was even more unable to break free from the man's tight grip.
Given the disparity in physical strength, Xie Ruan dared not make any rash moves when facing a man.
He could only timidly raise his beautiful, slender neck, trying to silently see the man's face in the dim light of the night.
But as if anticipating his move, the man pressed his straight body extremely close to him.
The man's fingers didn't leave a single gap, allowing him to see the man's face clearly even in the extremely dim light.
Besides, QAQ!
Xie Ruan seems to still have night blindness.
Long-term malnutrition and lack of carotene made it difficult for him to see clearly at night without light.
We're doomed.
Xie Ruan tried to deny it, her slender fingers moving weakly: "No, no..."
Xie Ruan was weak and helpless.
The argument ended in failure again.
Xie Ruan originally wanted to raise her head, show weakness, and negotiate.
Completely unexpectedly, the man seemed to sense his presence and increased the pressure even further.
Waaah.
QAQ.
Xie Ruan's wrists were clenched until they turned red.
The mark wouldn't go away, and Xie Ruan didn't dare to utter a sound.
The man was far too composed.
The man remained silent, and Xie Ruan even felt that the atmosphere around them was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Xie Ruan couldn't even tell whether her body was trembling uncontrollably due to panic, fear, or social anxiety.
I'm going to die.
Xie Ruan's thin lips turned pale: "It's you, I misheard... no, it's not Brother Kai."
The man's voice was as cold as ice: "Oh?"
The man's voice was devoid of emotion; one could only sense that he was quite young, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. "Then tell me, who am I?"
The man called Xie Ruan's name: "Xie Ruan"
QAQ! Xie Ruan only makes things up.
How would he know?
Xie Ruan's body trembled uncontrollably.
There's nothing we can do.
Even though he was terrified of being caught by a man.
But as soon as he raises his head...
He managed to get away with it by quietly getting a good look at the man's face...
Xie Ruan subconsciously tilted his head back, even though he tried his best to hold his breath.
She was trying to see the man clearly without him noticing, and to deceive him.
Yet, she was still caught red-handed by the man.
The man suddenly covered her eyes.
It's gotten even darker.
Xie Ruan's body trembled even more violently: "..."
Good ice.
The temperature in Xie Ruan is still acceptable.
Although her hands were pinned to the wall by the man's single hand, her wrists were gripped by his icy touch, which brought a lot of cold air to her.
However, Xie Ruan's face temperature was still normal.
Even due to excessive tension.
Xie Ruan's cheeks suddenly warmed up several degrees.
But the bad man is one who lacks self-awareness.
The icy hands gripped his wrists, making him shiver with cold!
They even covered his face with it.
hiss--
Xie Ruan trembled even more violently.
But men are like icebergs.
He showed absolutely no pity or tenderness towards her.
He became fixated on the answer: "Then who am I?"
Waaaaah.
Xie Ruan's eyes were covered, so he had no idea what was going on.
Xie Ruan was trying her best to remember who he was.
However, Xie Ruan was new to the area and had only met everyone there a handful of times.
Even in the breeding ground of extreme tension.
Xie Ruan could barely remember Zhou Jingchi's voice.
How could I possibly figure out which man it was?
Xie Ruan's body trembled even more violently as she instinctively sought an excuse to get away with it: "You, you are..."
Xie Ruan was already panicked, but she never expected that the man's cold words would add fuel to the fire with a warning: "You only have one chance, Xie Ruan."
TT?
once? ?
Don't do that.
Xie Ruan: "..." How about best two out of three?
Xie Ruan wanted to bargain, but the man's fingers tightened even more.
Xie Ruan dared not make any rash moves.
Xie Ruan tilted his head slightly, but the man's fingers didn't leave him any gaps; instead, they were perfectly aligned, blocking out all the light from him.
stingy person.
Even if Xie Ruan really didn't know who he was.
But men are also wary of him.
Xie Ruan was still pondering in a fit of pique.
He had no idea that the man who was covering his eyes was looking at him with a hint of obsession, and even his chest was heaving inexplicably, unlike his usual self.
This feeling is so strange.
The man's gaze fell on Xie Ruan's slightly dry, thin lips.
Xie Ruan's face turned pale instantly, and his thin lips, devoid of moisture, seemed to have had all his emotions drained away in an instant.
It disrupts a man's breathing.
The brain is also invaded by inexplicable emotions.
he.
What are you doing?
I drank a little bit of alcohol.
Did you just let him get confused and disoriented?
He probably has no interest in Xie Ruan.
Or perhaps he has no interest in people outside of music?
The man stared intently at Xie Ruan, whose eyes he had covered.
He shouldn't have had any emotions.
But why did he feel as if something suddenly grabbed his chest?
Something strange seemed to be rising in my heart.
even……
The heart rate also seems abnormal.
Men are generally good at being alone, and their sensitivity to their own bodies is often greater than their sensitivity to others.
But this is precisely the case with myself, who has always been normal.
When he bumped into Xie Ruan, he mentioned someone else's name.
suddenly.
It has spoiled.
The man did not speak.
The atmosphere around him became even more oppressive.
People who are repressed can hardly speak.
But Xie Ruan's mind was filled with fear.
With her eyes covered, Xie Ruan could only think of the man's question.
Xie Ruan was no longer concerned about anything outside.
Xie Ruan's throat tightened: "I, of course I know you are..."
Fine, might as well go all the way.
Xie Ruan was now certain that A Kai's guess was wrong.
Then Zhou Jingchi wouldn't play that game, and wouldn't be so fierce towards him.
so……
Xie Ruan thought that it wasn't someone like Assistant Li, Ji Ye, or Wen Hezhou who would likely not come in the middle of the night.
It's not like Pei Zhi or Jiang Zhi are people who wouldn't know how to play this kind of game.
Then there's only one possibility...
The man seemed intrigued: "Who am I?"
Xie Ruan mustered her courage: "I, of course I know you are Brother Afei."
If it weren't for these people!
Xie Ruan only recognizes Zhou Jingchi's assistant, A Fei, anymore!
Moreover, Zhou Jingchi's assistant had just brought him food.
Xie Ruan took the initiative to flatter him: "Brother Afei, did you forget to bring something?"
Xie Ruan's show of weakness brought the man back to his senses from his astonishment.
hiss.
Xie Ruan felt the other person's grip tighten even more.
Waaaaah.
How could you be so rude?
Xie Ruan was covered by the man.
I still can't see anything.
Xie Ruan thought.
How come Zhou Jingchi has such a bad-tempered assistant?
It wasn't like this when Ah Fei came over, was it?
Or perhaps, Ah Fei left in too much of a hurry.
Didn't he understand that Ah Fei is not someone to be trifled with?
QAQ!
But Xie Ruan had no choice.
He not only couldn't identify what kind of person someone was just by seeing them deliver food.
Xie Ruan even felt that after a while, she had completely forgotten what A Fei's voice sounded like.
This is perfectly normal for Xie Ruan, who suffers from social anxiety.
Even Xie Ruan, who is socially awkward, wouldn't know what the other person looks like if she didn't look up to see their face.
Unless you're so close to the other person that you become too relaxed, that's not possible.
Xie Ruan carefully observed, and only when she was sure the man was not reacting did she try to show weakness: "Brother Afei, let go of me. If you can't find something, I'll help you find it, okay?"
Xie Ruan was still muttering someone's name, though she didn't know who it was.
The veins on the man's arm bulged slightly, but his expression remained unwavering: "You're really something, Xie Ruan."
He went to great lengths to keep him away from Zhou Jingchi and Wen Hezhou.
He forgot one thing—if he simply offered Xie Ruan the opportunity to leave work early, it would only prevent him from seeing Xie Ruan.
But Xie Ruan wouldn't go looking for someone else just because she got off work early!
Even if Xie Ruan leaves work early, it won't prevent others from contacting her!
On the contrary, it was him—
Because of his decision, —
He couldn't find Xie Ruan online.
They couldn't catch Xie Ruan offline either.
The man's hand tightened again.
His original intention was clearly to keep Xie Ruan away from everyone.
But his actions meant that Xie Ruan could still find whomever she wanted.
The veins on the man's hands were faintly bulging.
They even added names like Ah Fei and Ah Kai.
If he had arrived a few days later, wouldn't Zhang San and Li Si have also arrived?
and.
He also heard Xie Ruan say...
The man emphasized his words: "Were you just chatting?" (He was chatting with them.)
Xie Ruan was completely unaware. He thought the man was A Fei and asked him if he had just been chatting with A Fei: "Weren't you just chatting? Even though it wasn't on your phone, you were just here."
Xie Ruan feigned weakness, hoping to calm the man down and make him less aggressive: "You even talked to me, brother, don't you remember..."
Xie Ruan's voice was soft.
What landed beside the man's ear turned into—
Xie Ruan also brought other men with her...
Sure.
That's really impressive.
The man tightened his grip on Xie Ruan's wrists.
Xie Ruan's eyes immediately reddened.
Wow, it's been so long.
He was the only one who couldn't get in touch with Xie Ruan.
He clearly chose a lot of time.
I added Xie Ruan's contact information.
They even deliberately timed the distribution during work hours.
Thank you, Ruan.
I never replied to him.
Man: "Xie Ruan, you're really something."
Leaving get off work early was only directed at him.
He wanted to see how Xie Ruan treated other people.
The man took a deep breath, his emotions unclear: "Cellphone."
Xie Ruan was stunned for a moment.
The man repeated the sentence.
Xie Ruan obediently replied, "Yes, it's in my pocket."
Xie Ruan's hands were restrained by the man, and she couldn't move them.
Xie Ruan could only let the man take it himself.
Xie Ruan is completely clueless about electronic products.
Xie Ruan's phone had no password.
Moreover, it's a work system where all content is public, so there's nothing that can't be viewed.
But Xie Ruan's face was still covered by the man.
Xie Ruan couldn't see the man's expression.
Xie Ruan only sensed that the man was opening the Pei Group's internal system.
Looking at his pinned profile, the atmosphere grew even more somber.
【elder brother. 】
【elder brother. 】
The man tried searching and discovered that Xie Ruan had called almost everyone—
elder brother.
Does Xie Ruan have so many good brothers?
This is also the older brother.
That one is also the older brother.
The man carefully read the names and descriptions of the so-called Ah Kai and Ah Fei in the contact information.
One of them is Wen Hezhou's assistant.
One of them is Zhou Jingchi's assistant.
Sure.
That's really impressive.
She even hooked up with Wen Hezhou's assistant.
Xie Ruan really isn't picky.
The atmosphere around the man is becoming increasingly oppressive.
Xie Ruan grew increasingly uneasy.
Xie Ruan didn't know why.
Xie Ruan sensed that the man seemed angry.
Xie Ruan wanted to offer comfort.
The man didn't give him a chance; instead, he opened the chat window of Wen Hezhou's assistant, Akai.
The man sneered, "Are you satisfied with just 2,000 yuan in red envelopes from Ah Kai?"
Xie Ruan has a good memory when it comes to money: "My brother didn't give me 2,000, he gave me 6,400 yuan."
Damn it.
The man punched the wall.
The sudden tremor startled Xie Ruan, who was blindfolded.
Man: Can you get called "brother" just by paying money?
Ah Kai is the older brother.
Zhou Jingchi is the older brother.
Is that guy who didn't pay also the older brother?
Why isn't he the older brother?
He gave too little?
The man remained silent.
Before Xie Ruan could react, he lifted her up with one hand and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
The sudden inversion left Xie Ruan dizzy and disoriented.
Xie Ruan didn't even have time to react before the man suddenly took her to the elevator on the dimly lit first floor.
No, that's not true!
Xie Ruan struggled desperately: "My, my, maid's room is on the first floor!"
The second and third floors are where the employers live.
Xie Ruan bit her lip: "You don't have permission to access those places. You... you can't go up there!!"
The man sneered.
The voice was muffled.
Xie Ruan thought she had angered the other party by not calling him "brother," so she obediently feigned weakness and said, "Brother Afei."
To her surprise, the man became even colder, and for the one time he didn't hold back in answering: "You guessed wrong, Xie Ruan, I'm not your brother Afei."
Xie Ruan didn't believe it: "..."
Xie Ruan didn't believe her: "Then you must have misheard. I was definitely calling your name."
There are not many people in Xie Ruan's circle.
The man didn't deny it at all, so how could he have guessed wrong?
Xie Ruan's eyes were red, and she felt inexplicably wronged.
The promised easy work environment is nowhere near as easy as it seems.
How come he's still being bullied by Zhou Jingchi's assistant?
Xie Ruan felt even worse.
The man not only looked at his phone, but also dragged him away.
That's absolutely the behavior of a villain.
Xie Ruan felt even more aggrieved.
I originally thought that if a man didn't have the authority, he would back down.
Unexpectedly...
The man, however, crossed the second floor where Zhou Jingchi was located...
We arrived at the third floor.
Wait? ? ?
It's important to know that this villa has very special specifications.
The elevators on the east and west sides can only go to one location.
Even on the same floor, the lobbies on both sides are not enough.
Therefore, if Xie Ruan needs to clean, she needs to use a special staff elevator to go directly up.
But this is the homeowner's elevator.
? ? ?
This assistant was able to go to a floor that wasn't Zhou Jingchi's.
Go straight to the third floor?
You should know that Ji Ye and Pei Zhi live on the third floor...
This feeling is clearly not something that the legendary villain Pei Zhi could do.
...
Anti-human.
Cover your eyes.
...
Check the phone.
Wait a minute, this behavior!!
Why does it look so much like...?
Ji Ye, who later becomes jealous of the protagonist, is a character who gets jealous!?
This isn't right.
Something's not right!
Ji Ye had absolutely no interest in him, right?
Xie Ruan didn't even have time to think before she saw the man stride out of the elevator.
They went straight to Ji Ye's room.
QAQ!
Wait.
Wait a minute!!
Is this for real, or is it really Ji Ye?
This guy is incredibly vengeful!
He just mistook the self-proclaimed aloof entertainment industry big boss for Zhou Jingchi and Wen Hezhou's assistant?!
Xie Ruan...
like…
A little...
Dead? #@……
XX.
Xie Ruan watched helplessly as Ji Ye strode to her door.
The door opened with a swipe.
*
...
This room.
Xie Ruan doesn't usually need to clean.
Ji Ye didn't turn on the lights at all.
Xie Ruan banged.
Ji Ye then threw him onto the bed.
...
It hasn't been cleaned for several days.
It doesn't seem very dirty.
Xie Ruan dared not utter a sound.
He sensed that Ji Ye's emotions were becoming increasingly unstable.
In addition, Ji Ye has been sleeping for a long time.
He has a habit of using alcohol to induce sleep.
Xie Ruan couldn't smell the other person's scent.
However, it has been preliminarily determined.
Ji Ye is probably drunk again.
QAQ!!
Aaaaaah!!
Xie Ruan hates alcoholics!!!
Xie Ruan shrank back timidly.
Completely unexpectedly, before he could even react, Ji Ye grabbed his clothes.
No.
No!
Men should not touch each other.
Scenes of sexual acts kept flashing through my mind.
Isn't this supposed to be a clean, innocent story?
Something's not right!!
Something's not right!!!
I promised to remain chaste for the sake of the protagonist!
Are you allergic to other men and women?
Ji Ye, you're not allowed to go out of character!!
Xie Ruan instinctively glared at Ji Ye in protest.
But Ji Ye was clearly not as easy to fool as Zhou Jingchi.
Ji Ye not only dodged Xie Ruan's kicking motion, but also easily pulled off Xie Ruan's coat.
Waaaaaah!
Is his innocence in jeopardy?!
Don't take his clothes off!!!
Xie Ruan was on the verge of tears.
Xie Ruan's tears fell in a steady stream.
The air seemed to freeze.
Xie Ruan instinctively ran away.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't put your coat on the bed."
Xie Ruan: "..." It's not an indescribable scene, so, that's fine...
Xie Ruan was trembling all over. Even though she was trying to comfort herself, she couldn't help but feel a sudden, inexplicable panic creeping into her unlit room.
Why exactly...?
Ji Ye wanted to pull him into the room.
Xie Ruan's nose was red, and she subconsciously sniffed: "Yes, do you want me to clean? I'll clean it right away."
Xie Ruan really couldn't think of anything else Ji Ye could do with him.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get up, the man suddenly grabbed his chin.
? ?
Xie Ruan almost instinctively held her breath.
The man was too close.
Once someone gets close, Xie Ruan trembles even more violently.
Xie Ruan hadn't reacted yet.
The man then extended his bony fingers and turned on the lamp on the windowsill.
The dim light suddenly became blinding.
Xie Ruan could barely open her eyes.
Xie Ruan's chin was adjusted from side to side by the man.
Xie Ruan dared not move, not even dared to open her eyes.
She could only feel her chin being moved from side to side by the man.
Xie Ruan trembled slightly.
His sleeves were rolled up.
It's a bit cold...
Xie Ruan had no idea what the man was doing.
He dared not speak.
But then the man checked it.
After examining her carefully for quite a while, her icy demeanor seemed to soften slightly, leaving only a cold, deep voice: "How do they usually treat you?"
Ji Ye was still speaking.
Xie Ruan's brain went blank.
Before Xie Ruan could react, Ji Ye suddenly saw a red mark in the other sleeve.
Ji Ye frowned: "They touched you??"
?
ah?
Xie Ruan was somewhat puzzled by Ji Ye's sudden outburst.
When Ji Ye brought her wrist to his face, Xie Ruan seemed to realize what was happening and looked at the clear red mark on her wrist.
Seeing this, Xie Ruan was about to feel wronged: "You did this..."
Xie Ruan didn't even call him brother.
For some reason, Ji Ye felt inexplicably displeased.
Then, Ji Ye saw that he had gripped Xie Ruan's wrist so tightly that it was red, and fell silent: "..."
They showed some weakness.
Ji Ye: "Did they kiss you?"
Ji Ye pressed down on Xie Ruan.
Ji Ye looked at Xie Ruan, his gaze unreadable in the dim light, but one could sense the temperature around him...
It's getting colder and colder.
Xie Ruan shook her head.
During the examination, Ji Ye noticed a red mark on Xie Ruan's neck.
Ji Ye's tone became even more serious: "Then what is this?"
Xie Ruan couldn't see it at all.
Ji Ye carried him to the mirror and showed him.
Ji Ye's cold fingers landed on his neck.
Xie Ruan instinctively shrank her head.
Ji Ye thought he was guilty and forced him to get closer to the mirror.
But Xie Ruan looked at Ji Ye in the mirror and became even more frightened, her voice timid: "...No."
Ji Ye: "..." You still dare to say no?
Ji Ye: "You're practically covered in mosquito bites from all those kisses, and you still say you've never been kissed before??"
Ji Ye moved a little closer.
Xie Ruan, however, dodged even further away.
Ji Ye clearly dislikes people.
But for some reason, the only time I got close to someone and they avoided me, it didn't feel good.
Ji Ye remained silent.
All she could think about was why Xie Ruan could be kissed by others, but not by him?
Ji Ye was in a bad mood.
He felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, preventing him from expressing any emotion.
But Ji Ye remained silent, which made Xie Ruan even more aggrieved: "I, I wasn't kissed."
Xie Ruan reached out and pushed Ji Ye's face.
Ji Ye felt even more depressed.
But Ji Ye's sullen mood made Xie Ruan feel even more aggrieved: "Yes, it was from mosquito bites."
Ji Ye: "Mosquito bites don't look like that."
Ji Ye was never bitten by mosquitoes.
Everywhere he appears needs to be treated with disinfectant.
But Xie Ruan is different; she doesn't have that privilege and is prone to attracting mosquitoes.
Xie Ruan felt increasingly aggrieved: "That's exactly what mosquitoes bite!!"
Those who are immune to mosquitoes have no idea what this pain is like!
Xie Ruan pulled his hand over and let him feel it carefully. "Look, it's from a mosquito bite. If you were kissed, there wouldn't be any marks. It's only when you're bitten that it swells up."
Waaaaah.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!
Xie Ruan got bitten several times today!
How come Ji Ye never gets bitten wherever he goes?
This is completely unfair.
Xie Ruan's mind was full of accusations.
However, Ji Ye, being so straightforward, didn't understand Xie Ruan's frustration.
Ji Ye was stunned for a moment, just looking at Xie Ruan's pouty lips, watching her mouth open and close, her willful and somewhat angry appearance, which was inexplicably cute.
Cute...
Wanting to be bullied.
Ji Ye's emotions were unclear, and his voice was even more unpredictable than usual as he asked, "So, no one kissed you?"
Xie Ruan had no defenses whatsoever; he simply nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Mm."
But the man stared at his thin lips and asked, "Has no one kissed you recently, or have you never been kissed at all?"
Xie Ruan was eager to prove her innocence, "Of course I wasn't kissed!"
If anyone can be kissed, what kind of person would that be?!
Xie Ruan was still anxious.
I never expected this.
His moist, thin lips opened and closed.
She was still trying to defend herself, saying that she was a proper nanny and definitely different from the protagonist, not the kind of improper nanny.
The man suddenly leaned forward.
He was pinned down...
On the mirror.
