Chapter 11 Happy First Day at Work: Who's the Babysitter?! ...
An extremely aloof face came into view.
Xie Ruan's eyes widened instinctively.
He didn't know this person.
At this time, at this hour, a person dressed in a suit enters this room...
Even if Xie Ruan was a beat slow on the uptake, she could guess that the person in front of her was most likely Pei Zhi, the villain in the book who inherited and controlled the Pei Group at the young age of 24.
However, in the original book, Pei Zhi, a young and promising character, is not the protagonist.
In this book, Pei Zhi's storyline is even less dramatic than that of the three employers vying for the protagonist's affections.
As a plot device, Pei Zhi, the protagonist's uncle, was only useful for persuading the protagonist and the uke not to be together.
But the protagonist, of course, wouldn't agree.
The male protagonist (gong) has felt a lack of love since childhood, and the female protagonist (shou) is like his salvation, surpassing everything.
This leads to the protagonist being extremely obsessed with Pei Zhi for breaking him up with the other protagonist. He then frames Pei Zhi, causing Pei Zhi's untimely death, inheriting the Pei Group, and achieving a happy ending with the other protagonist.
Xie Ruan felt this way.
The author of this book has such abnormal values.
Why is it that a villain who frames others and inherits their wealth can become the protagonist, inherit the estate, and achieve success in both career and love?
Pei Zhi was just trying to be helpful, okay?
How did she end up being hated by the crazy protagonist?
Xie Ruan didn't feel any pleasure at all.
After reading the book, Xie Ruan was left with nothing but resentment.
This led to Xie Ruan showing a rare expression of sympathy and regret after confirming that the other party was Pei Zhi.
...
Even such a slight gesture could be made by someone with mild social anxiety.
This was enough to attract the attention of a keen-eyed expert.
Xie Ruan didn't notice that Pei Zhi paused slightly when Xie Ruan looked at him.
He glanced at Xie Ruan.
I just let my body twitch unconsciously.
I thought to myself: Even if the other person is Pei Zhi, his favorite character in this book, he still can't resist his fear of people and doesn't dare to get close! QAQ!
The little socially anxious person trembled even more violently.
Pei Zhi is Xie Ruan's direct superior and the head of the Pei Group. Logically, Xie Ruan should have stood up respectfully, apologized, and cleaned up the mess she had created. Then, she should have tried to leave a good impression on Pei Zhi and curry favor with him.
But he was caught doing something wrong and was really flustered.
This caused his usual hand tremors to worsen at this moment, making it impossible for him to even hold things steadily.
Not to mention mustering the courage to go see Pei Zhi.
Xie Ruan even felt her teeth trembling along with her body.
That's so embarrassing.
Xie Ruan simply let her legs sit on the ground.
Letting her soft inner thighs press against the warm ground, and the unrestrained, elusive showerhead dance wildly.
After a long while, the showerhead finally lashed out at Pei Zhi, soaking him completely.
Xie Ruancai turned to look at Pei Zhi as if by reflex.
...
Xie Ruan looked at the large water droplets falling from Pei Zhi's neatly styled bangs.
And the water droplets slid down his distinct profile, leaving streaks.
The air froze completely.
Xie Ruan thought he was completely finished.
Waaaaah.
His mind was racing, thinking that Pei Zhi truly lived up to his reputation as a handsome character from the novel.
Even though he was soaking wet, the photos didn't turn out great because of his habit of combing his hair in the cold. The falling water droplets added a touch of brokenness to his otherwise aloof and unattainable appearance.
And a sense of alienation.
Apart from that, Xie Ruan felt nothing of the disheveled state of Pei Zhi; she should be described as someone who had fallen into the water and was in a sorry state.
Xie Ruan's fingers trembled slightly; he should have helped his boss with this.
Pei Zhi's icy gaze met his eyes, making him tremble with fear.
He could only grab a towel and hurriedly ran towards Pei Zhi's direction.
*
Xie Ruan was unaware that Pei Zhi disliked this.
Pei Zhi disliked touching others.
He instinctively avoids such predictable movements.
So this time is no exception.
Pei Zhi quietly took a step, making way for Xie Ruan, who was about to rush out in a panic.
They ignored Xie Ruan's impending fall.
But a faint, clean scent of soapberry wafted from Xie Ruan's body.
A thin shirt came into view. Pei Zhi slightly averted his gaze, but his eyes inadvertently drifted to Xie Ruan's fair skin, which was faintly visible beneath the warm, damp shirt.
It has a pinkish tint.
...
Pei Zhi remained silent, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
As she tried to dodge again, the smooth, soft lines beneath Xie Ruan's white shirt, and the fragile, delicate beauty of Xie Ruan, were thus revealed.
It looked exactly like a down-on-its-luck kitten, all wet and pitiful, appearing before people.
Pei Zhi has always been indifferent to people.
But the image that popped into his mind was Xie Ruan looking at him with her wet, broken, and alluring eyes, like a down-on-her-luck kitten.
Without thinking, Pei Zhi instinctively reached out and, through the fabric of his suit, used one arm to stop Xie Ruan from slipping.
*
He wouldn't have done that originally.
...
But who wouldn't lend a helping hand to a kitten?
Pei Zhi's cold gaze was fixed ahead, and he remained motionless, supporting Xie Ruan's entire body weight with one arm.
This caused Xie Ruan's system to completely crash.
Xie Ruan did not see Pei Zhi's slightly pursed lips.
He felt as if the air had frozen.
In the frozen moment, no one spoke.
All that remained was the out-of-control showerhead, which, in the silence between the two, made a crackling sound as it pounded against the floor.
Xie Ruan's mind went completely blank. He even forgot to react. Following the gaze of the showerhead, he saw Pei Zhi's soaked clothes and the smooth lines that gradually blurred beneath them.
Xie Ruan swallowed unconsciously.
He thought that Pei Zhi, as the protagonist's target, must be the main villain in the book.
But Pei Zhi, the villain whom the author tried countless times to smear and bring down from his pedestal, is actually the type who looks slim when dressed but has a muscular build when undressed.
Xie Ruan's abs were always the kind of thing she'd only heard about, the kind of thing she'd only ever heard of.
He couldn't believe that Pei Zhi, this workaholic who worked day and night, could have those legendary, touchable abs.
He could only think subconsciously—
Could it be fake?
After all, Pei Zhi drinks coffee in the morning, gets up at five o'clock to work, works at the company during the day, works at the company at night, and even works overtime late at night.
People like that simply don't have time to exercise!
So, is Pei Zhi wearing those fake abs that can be taken off and put on, just to save face?
Xie Ruan didn't know why, but she subconsciously touched it.
Hey.
Seriously.
Ah, that feels so good.
It's actually a little soft?
He thought it would be the hard, rough type.
Xie Ruan didn't have abs, and the feeling of touching abs for the first time in her life was very subtle. She couldn't help but carefully trace it again with the pad of her index finger.
Xie Ruan only had her own pleasure on her mind.
He didn't see Pei Zhi's gradually tensing back or his increasingly serious expression; he just subconsciously touched him, then touched him again.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so soft, and it has so many layers..."
Xie Ruan stroked him repeatedly, as if petting a kitten.
He has even lost his social anxiety and his fear of people.
Unexpectedly, just as he couldn't stop, the man's gaze fell on him.
Their eyes met.
Xie Ruancai rediscovered the feeling of being afraid of people.
He instinctively gasped, took a step back, and began to tremble violently.
I'm afraid to think about it—
That's it, all over.
Xie Ruan completely forgot that she was facing her employer.
Xie Ruan even forgot that the person in front of her was a living, breathing person, not a model she could touch!
Xie Ruan felt like she had everything she needed to cry.
My mind is a complete mess—
It's all over, it's all over.
This is a top-tier boss.
He got the CEO all wet, so he's completely done being a nanny.
Xie Ruan quickly stood up, completely unexpectedly, just as he was trying to get a new towel.
But the bath towel was placed gently on his head first.
...
Xie Ruan's view was completely blocked.
All that remained was a hazy, misty expanse.
Xie Ruan dared not move, and could only stand like a wooden figure, thinking that the president must have his reasons for doing this, and thus waited for instructions.
But what they didn't see was that Pei Zhi was looking at Xie Ruan like a wooden doll, his fingers were clearly twisted together, and his little mouth was muttering something, a spell to calm his mind, with a slight smile on his lips.
Looking at the little fool in front of him, he inexplicably felt a surge of emotion and began to stare intently.
This nanny really does look like a little block of wood.
Weren't you jumping around happily on the monitor? Why do you seem so afraid of people now?
Pei Zhi recognized Xie Ruan's identity and inexplicably became agitated, suddenly approaching Xie Ruan with his cold fingers.
Then, as if unable to bear his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he awkwardly wiped the little piece of wood with his fingers, standing there blankly.
Pei Zhi's sudden contact seemed to trigger Xie Ruan's sensitivity.
Pei Zhi noticed Xie Ruan trembling more and more violently under the bath towel. As if he mistakenly thought Xie Ruan was cold or in pain, he became even gentler and turned up the heat in the bathroom a little more, making the bathroom extremely quiet, so quiet that you could hardly hear breathing.
Until...
Snap.
Assistant Li knocked on the door and entered.
I just happened to see it; Pei Zhi, who was serving the short-statured CEO's maid, was right there.
?
My brain completely shut down.
*
This is not Li's fault.
After all, you need to know who Li's boss, Pei Zhi, is.
Although Pei Zhi is only 24 years old, everyone knows that he has mysophobia.
In Li's memory, Pei Zhi not only rarely interacted with people, but even when discussing cooperation or interacting with family members, he would not shake hands or make any physical contact.
But it is precisely under these circumstances.
His family's boss actually...
Did he touch Xie Ruan's hair?
Even wipe him down?
Even while he was still feeling damp and uncomfortable, he prioritized Xie Ruan?
Is this reality?
Assistant Li wouldn't even dare to do something like this in his wildest dreams!
What kind of magic does this nanny possess that she can change their CEO?!
Assistant Li swallowed hard.
The work documents he was planning to report on were carried on his back like this.
Then, unexpectedly, just as Assistant Li quietly lifted his foot, not intending to disturb the two who were "gazing at each other tenderly,"
He then heard the CEO cough softly.
Assistant Li immediately tensed up, his half-stepped leg dangling in the air, not daring to land.
Assistant Li listened intently to the president's instructions.
What I didn't want to hear wasn't "get lost."
Rather, it is.
Man: "Come in."
?
Is this... such a tender and affectionate scene something a mere assistant like him should be watching?
His CEO really doesn't treat him like an outsider.
Assistant Li scratched his head sheepishly and walked back with a sheepish grin.
But then he saw his own CEO, who never allowed anyone to get close, easily pick up the little wooden boy next to him, and then, while Assistant Li was still in a daze...
She looked at Assistant Li with a cold, detached gaze that seemed to pierce through others.
He said, "Clean this place up."
...
?
Assistant Li stood still.
I don't know how long I waited before I finally snapped out of it and started complaining—
Wait?
Cleaning?
Who cleans?
Take the nanny away and make him clean?
no! !
Who exactly is the nanny?!
