Chapter 71 Saying One Thing and Meaning Another



Xu Tingchuan stood at the door, stared at her for a moment, then looked down at her feet and reminded her, "You dropped something."

Ni Sitian immediately looked down and saw a condom at her feet. Startled, she picked it up from the ground, held it tightly in her palm, and hid it behind her back.

She looked at Xu Tingchuan in a panic, unsure if he had even seen what it was.

Seeing his calm expression, she realized he probably hadn't seen clearly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Tingchuan thought she was acting strangely and glanced behind her.

Ni Sitian remembered that he had looked at her with the same expression when she hid the medicine before. Afraid that he would take her hand out and pry it open, she quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

After she finished speaking, she rushed out of the room. Xu Tingchuan watched her fleeing figure and chuckled helplessly.

On Monday, Ni Sitian got up early and picked out clothes to wear to her job interview in front of her wardrobe.

When Xu Tingchuan came out after washing up, he saw that she was still struggling with the decision.

"Can you help me see if the light green floral print or the black and white stripes look better?" Ni Sitian held the dress up against herself and asked him earnestly.

Xu Tingchuan approached, looked at her carefully for a moment, then leaned down and whispered in her ear in a low, magnetic voice, "You look best when you're not wearing anything."

Ni Sitian's face flushed instantly. She punched Xu Tingchuan in embarrassment and annoyance, glaring at him: "Be serious, this is a serious matter!"

"Don't be too nervous, it's just an internship interview." Xu Tingchuan raised his hand and placed it on the top of her head, gently rubbing it. He then said, "Wear light green."

Ni Sitian realized that he had said those words to tease her because he saw that she was too nervous. She couldn't help but smile slightly, nodded, put down the black and white strip, and took the light green floral strip to the bathroom to change.

After changing, she even put on some light makeup.

This was the first time Xu Tingchuan had seen Ni Sitian dressed up so meticulously. Her small oval face, large almond eyes, long eyelashes, delicate nose, pink lips, and rosy cheeks combined to give her an extremely refined and elegant appearance.

He suddenly felt that Ni Sitian seemed to be getting prettier and prettier. Three months ago, he thought she was just pleasing to the eye, but recently she seemed to have blossomed all at once.

"How is it?" Ni Sitian asked, looking up at him as she noticed him staring at her. She thought something was wrong.

Xu Tingchuan snapped out of his reverie, realizing he had been staring at her absentmindedly. A little awkwardly, he turned away, pretending to fasten his cufflinks, and gave a curt assessment: "Acceptable."

Ni Sitian was somewhat disappointed to receive only a "decent" rating for her carefully dressed up appearance. She lowered her head and lost her confidence.

Xu Tingchuan saw her listless expression through the glass window and felt a pang of guilt.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned around, walked up to her, lifted her chin, and leaned down to press his lips to hers.

Their lips parted after only a brief, fleeting touch, like a dragonfly skimming the water's surface.

He left the bedroom without saying anything.

Ni Sitian was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her lips, where his warmth seemed to still linger. She thought to herself, "He was just saying one thing but meaning another."

What an insincere guy.

Her smile widened, and she quickly left the bedroom.

After breakfast, Xu Tingchuan went to work first, while Ni Sitian didn't leave for her interview until around ten o'clock.

Because she had practiced with Xu Tingchuan yesterday, the interview went smoothly, and it was confirmed on the spot that she would start work this Wednesday.

However, perhaps due to excessive joy, she experienced severe abdominal cramps when she returned home in the afternoon.
