"I don't understand..." Lu Yu asked in a low voice, her eyes wide.
She really wanted to delve into Jiao Yuyin's mind and see what he was thinking.
The milk had all been drunk, leaving only the remaining liquid clinging to the inside of the clear glass, slowly spreading and settling back down.
It seems that Jiao Yuyin can find Lu Yu's almond-shaped eyes in the light and shadow refracted in the glass.
He swirled the glass, forcing himself to ask from a partner's perspective: "To avoid unknown risks, you need to answer me truthfully about your sexual orientation... You like men, right?"
...
"You...you're being a pervert!" Lu Yu was completely speechless.
Jiao Yuyin forced himself to say, "The prenuptial agreement clearly states that you cannot have a romantic relationship during the marriage, as it would affect the public image of the Jiao family."
Lu Yu's brain finally picked up the signal, "Are you out of your mind? Sun Meng is a teammate, don't you understand? She loves basketball, what does that have to do with me? If you play basketball well, she'll be watching you shine."
What do "idol" and "fan" mean?
Lu Yu was a little embarrassed and said, "More or less. I can hear Sun Meng's thoughts. If... if something really was wrong, would I have brought people here? What kind of thinking is that... You're so good at thinking, you should go write the script."
Lu Yu rattled off a string of words, ignoring Jiao Yuyin's reaction. She simply couldn't stand being in that study any longer; she wished she could just disappear into the ground.
Lu Yu grabbed the glass of milk on the table and walked towards the door.
Upon closer listening, it sounded like a faint laugh coming from behind.
...
The bedroom was filled with the scent of raspberries.
The curtains blocked out the starlight, and the moon lamp by the bedside cast a soft glow on the taro on the bed.
Jiao Yuyin took off his glasses and had just turned off the bedside lamp when a voice came from the other side. The voice was unexpected, soft and gentle.
“I’m going to bed later and later…” Lu Yu placed her hand on the upright pillow in the darkness.
Jiao Yuyin then took Lu Yu's hand.
The darkness was his camouflage; only in such moments did he dare to let the desires in his eyes grow unchecked.
Jiao Yuyin lay in bed, his words tinged with apology. "I'll try to go to bed before midnight from now on."
After a short while, Jiao Yuyin spoke again: "Lu Yu, besides basketball, what else do you like?"
"Grilled beef and mushrooms, warm milk, and San San."
"..."
Lu Yu flexed her fingertips and asked, "Have things been going badly for you lately...?"
"I don't think so. It's been too quiet around Jiao Yushen's place, which is a bit unusual. I'm just feeling anxious."
Lu Yu immediately volunteered, "It's okay, you have me. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I'll listen to what bad intentions he's up to during the New Year's Eve dinner."
“It’s tomorrow, it’s already past 1 a.m..” Jiao Yuyin smiled easily, “I have to go out to run some errands, I left early this morning… so you only have a little over four hours of quiet time.”
"Huh?" Lu Yu unconsciously tightened her grip on Jiao Yuyin's fingers a little more.
"There's no other way. It's a long way to go, and the journey takes more than three hours, so we have to leave as early as possible."
Jiao Yuyin subtly threw out the bait.
"Are you driving there?"
The little fish took the hook...
"Yes, Assistant Qin is driving."
"Would it be convenient for me to come with you? I'll be sleeping in the car, could you spare one of my hands?"
The night was deep, and the cunning in Jiao Yuyin's smile was hidden in the darkness.
In winter, dawn breaks late. At six o'clock in the morning, the first rays of sunlight have not yet penetrated.
Inside a car speeding along the provincial highway, Lu Yu was fast asleep with her head tilted to one side.
A fluffy orange blanket covered her, leaving only her head and one hand exposed.
Lu Yu rested her head on the left rear window, her right hand hooked around Jiao Yuyin's palm, her cheeks flushed.
Jiao Yuyin reviewed the investigation report on Tao Peng's previously shut-down pharmaceutical factory and closed his laptop.
He stretched out his arm, pulled Lu Yu's head, which was hitting the car window, and leaned it against his shoulder, then tucked a corner of the blanket in.
He glanced out the window, admiring the intimate scene reflected in the car window, before curling his lips into a smile, taking off his glasses, and closing his eyes.
While driving, Assistant Qin repeatedly reminded himself that he must forget this scene, no matter what, he must never recall it again, and he absolutely must not let anyone hear his thoughts...
