It was wet everywhere on a rainy day, and the two looked at each other in the misty fog.
The cold raindrops fell on the window sill, splashing onto the back of Shen Yanli's hand around her waist, stirring up ripples in her heart.
There was a height difference between them. She tilted her head back, and her soft breath just happened to spray on his neck. His protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down, his jaw was taut, and he sighed secretly: "Wanwan, don't overestimate my endurance."
Although he has received a modern education, he still retains old-fashioned traditions in his bones. Premarital sex is an irresponsible crossing of the line for him, but her repeated teasing makes him not mind pushing the wedding date forward.
Zhou Yunwan noticed his burning gaze, and thinking of the promise he made before, she was sure that he would not do anything to her, so she stood on tiptoe and gave him a sweet kiss, and said maliciously, "I didn't ask you to endure it."
This sentence is bold and charming, and it is tantamount to a disguised invitation to your significant other.
If it were someone else, they might have thrown themselves at her regardless of the consequences, but Shen Yanli would not do that.
But who knew that Shen Yanli's face did not show the shyness and helplessness she imagined. Unlike any previous times when he would stop at the right time, this time he seemed to have made up his mind to fight with her.
He stretched out his hand and firmly grasped her slender waist, preventing her from moving at all, and his tone became dangerous and sinister: "So you mean for me to be polite?"
...
...
His deep eyes were like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time. As soon as the lamb in front of him showed a hint of weakness and fear, he would pounce on it without hesitation and eat it up.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yunwan is not a lamb to be slaughtered, but a cunning and fickle fox.
Zhou Yunwan raised her red lips and tightened her arms around him, as if she didn't take his words seriously at all. She smiled and blinked: "You have to avoid me even when changing clothes. How do you want to be rude to me?"
Chen Yanli pursed his thin lips into a line, and the heat that he had suppressed after enduring it again and again surged up again. He gritted his teeth and sighed in a deep voice: "Wanwan, you will drive me crazy sooner or later."
Hearing this, Zhou Yunwan half-closed her eyelashes, and the smile that flashed across her eyes could not be hidden.
Seeing that his breathing was getting heavier, she decided to quit, cleared her throat, and asked a serious question: "Didn't you say that the seminar would be held in the next few days? Is it okay for you to come back early?"
Chen Yanli adjusted his breath for a while, and said word by word: "It doesn't matter. Li Jinning is in charge of the seminar. Huaqing happens to be in school, so going back to school to prepare for the meeting is a great excuse."
Having a dual career doesn't provide enough free time, but it does have its benefits occasionally. He stayed up late for several nights and arranged everything for the next half month, just so he could come back early and figure out why Wanwan ignored him.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I can use the free time to spend with Wanwan.
After listening to him, Zhou Yunwan also knew the reason why he had such dark circles under his eyes. She said a little embarrassedly, "I should have answered your call earlier, so that you wouldn't have to suffer."
As she spoke, she touched the dark circles under his eyes. He usually had a regular schedule and his skin was in excellent condition. It was rare to see him looking so haggard now. It was all because of that nonsense woman Li Jinning, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry and throw a tantrum.
Shen Yanli didn’t want to bring up the misunderstanding that caused them to quarrel, so he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “If it weren’t for this, I would have planned to come back earlier.”
"Hmm?" Zhou Yunwan glanced at him in confusion.
Shen Yanli's eyes darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's been too long since we last met, I miss you so much."
He emphasized the word "I miss you", as if he had been planning on it for a long time, or as if he was not used to saying such sweet words. But he was frank and would not hesitate to speak the truth out of shyness.
Zhou Yunwan smiled immediately, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of bright spring light, she rubbed against his arms and responded sweetly: "I miss you too."
"If I had a letter of introduction, I would have to buy a ticket to go find you."
Transportation is not as developed nowadays. Unlike in later times, you can travel across the country with just a mobile phone and an ID card. You need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, which is very limited.
Otherwise, given her violent temper, if Li Jinning dared to show off in front of her one second, she would buy a ticket and confront him offline the next second to see what was going on.
When she thought of Li Jin Ning, she couldn't help but tell Shen Yanli, "I'm telling you, you have to get rid of your relationship with Li Jin Ning. She obviously likes you and is interested in you. You can't fall into her gentle embrace."
"I'm not doubting you when I say this. I'm just reminding you to adjust your attitude and clearly reject her approach and kindness. Flies don't bite seamless eggs. As long as you stick to your bottom line, no matter how much she tries, it will be in vain. Do you understand?"
“I understand.” Shen Yanli frowned and nodded solemnly.
Because Li Jinning didn't confess her feelings to him, he always treated her as an ordinary colleague and kept a proper distance from her. However, she has recently made misleading actions frequently and now even told Wanwan lies that she shouldn't have told.
This has exceeded the normal social distance. When the other party returns from the Northeast, he will definitely find an opportunity to make things clear.
As for work, you just need to ask the director to transfer them to different projects to avoid frequent meetings and interactions.
When the rain stopped, they packed up and prepared to go back.
When he went out and downstairs, he met Chen Yanli's neighbor, who was also his colleague at the institute, a man in his thirties, with his wife and children following behind him. He seemed to have just come back from shopping for vegetables, and was carrying a large bag of vegetables and meat in his hands.
"Professor Shen? Why are you back early?"
The two sides greeted each other, and Shen Yanli gave a brief explanation.
Because Shen Yanli remembered that Zhou Yunwan had said that she didn't want to make it public, he just said that she was the daughter of his father's comrade-in-arms, as before, and did not introduce her any further.
The man looked at the two of them for a few times, and almost instantly saw the tense atmosphere between them, especially the casual glances they gave each other, it was clear that they were a young couple in love.
But isn't Chen Yanli dating Li Jinning? This is a "secret" known to everyone in the institute, could it be...
However, it is not easy to expose such things in person. When I learned that the other party just came back to get something and left immediately, I did not hesitate to invite him to my house for dinner.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, the man thought for a moment. A deputy director position had just been vacant in the institute, and his biggest competitor was Shen Yanli. If Shen Yanli had any scandal at this time...
The man rolled his eyes and only turned around and went upstairs after his wife reminded him.
Walking out of the building, a gust of wind blew in the face, making Zhou Yunwan so cold that she shrank towards Shen Yanli. While muttering that she was very cold, she took his hand and held his fingers tightly.
The corners of Shen Yanli's lips curled up, and he shook hands back.
Zhou Yunwan noticed his little action and smiled in a low voice: "Hehe, you are so warm. If there weren't so many people around, I really want to just crawl into your arms."
Hearing this, Shen Yanli glanced at the crowded street, squeezed her little hand, and his eyes darkened.
There were so many people around, and you still dared to say such things to him. You are really getting bolder and bolder.
