I paused for a moment, and said, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy." But the next second, I couldn't help but yawn.
Su Shenglin laughed, "Go to sleep, it'll be an hour before I get to your company."
I was thinking that if I didn't sleep, it would be awkward to stay silent. If I chatted, I was afraid that the topic would go too far and make things even more awkward.
So sleeping is definitely more suitable.
Even if you can't sleep, just pretend to be asleep.
"Hmm, that works too."
My intention was to take a nap, so I could still think about the design drafts and how to arrange the Milan fashion show after the New Year. But when Su Shenglin pressed a button, my chair immediately adjusted to the most ergonomic position, allowing me to lie comfortably in a semi-reclined position.
I instinctively turned to look at him, and he explained, "It's more comfortable this way."
"Okay, thank you..." I could only smile and reply.
Even with my eyes closed, I still felt embarrassed.
This kind of relationship is clearly more suitable for couples or spouses.
How can a man and woman in a normal relationship be driving while the other casually reclines and sleeps?
But I'm not familiar with how to operate this car, and I don't know where to touch to raise the backrest, so I can only lie like this.
The result was obvious: the car was so comfortable and quiet that I lay down and actually fell asleep.
I don't sleep well at night and I'm used to staying up late, so I do need to take a half-hour nap every day at noon.
But this afternoon, I slept for a full hour and a half in the passenger seat of Su Shenglin's luxury car!
As I slowly opened my eyes and instinctively stretched, I heard a gentle, smiling voice in my ear: "You're finally awake?"
My mind went blank, and I froze, turning around to see Su Shenglin holding his phone, looking at me with a smile in his eyes.
Oh my god...
I panicked instantly and quickly got up.
Su Shenglin reached out and pressed a button, and the back of my seat slowly rose.
I was extremely embarrassed. I turned to look out of the car and saw that it was in the parking lot downstairs from my company.
"What time is it? Why didn't you call me?" Before I could finish speaking, a piece of clothing fell off me. Looking down, I saw it was Su Shenglin's overcoat.
this……
How could I have slept like a log? I didn't even notice him taking off his clothes and covering me with them! In TV dramas, the female lead always wakes up the moment the male lead covers her with a blanket or quilt, right?
"Two-thirty," Su Shenglin replied, reassuringly adding, "No rush, clear your head first."
He handed me a bottle of water and thoughtfully even unscrewed the cap.
I felt embarrassed again.
I remember that after eating and waking up from a nap, my mouth would have bad breath because it had been closed for a long time, but I usually couldn't smell it myself.
I didn't know if I had any left, but I nodded and took the water he handed me. I tilted my head back and gulped down half the bottle, thinking I should rinse my mouth clean.
He frowned in surprise: "Was the lunch too salty?"
"No, no, it's just my personal habit to have a glass of water when I wake up," I quickly made an excuse.
I've had a nap, drunk some water, and arrived at my destination—it's time for me to get off the bus.
"Here's your coat." I put his coat away and handed it to him.
Su Shenglin took it and casually tossed it onto the second-row seat.
His clothes, like his scent, had a rich and refreshing forest and grass fragrance; even after the clothes were taken away, a faint scent lingered in the air.
I knew my cheeks were burning up again, and all I wanted to do was escape.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you so long. I'll be going now." I said goodbye with a smile and reached out to open the car door.
The car was too tall; at over 1.7 meters tall, my toes could barely touch the ground.
Before I could even steady myself on my other leg, Su Shenglin suddenly called out to me from behind: "Jiang Wan."
"Hmm?" I turned around in response.
He sat in the driver's seat, and I stood by the door. Our eyes were almost level, so I didn't need to bend over.
Su Shenglin remained calm and composed, staring at me for a few seconds before slowly speaking: "Jiang Wan, I can wait. A year and a half, or three to five years, I can wait."
My mind exploded!
I froze there, a wave of dizziness washing over me.
He just suddenly and without warning to tear down the window paper and speak his mind so frankly!
I don't know what expression I have on my face, but my heart is beating faster than ever before.
How should I respond?
If you refuse again, just say, "Then you wait and see."
"Mr. Su, I—"
“I told you, don’t call me Mr. Su.”
"..."
My mind was already in a mess, and when he interrupted me, I was even more at a loss for words.
Su Shenglin got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and came to my side.
I turned around in a daze, my eyes wide and staring at him helplessly.
“I didn’t dare to make it clear before, firstly because you are still married; secondly, I was worried that you didn’t have feelings for me, and if I made it clear, we might not even be able to be friends.”
He walked up to me and stood still, his voice still gentle and calm, and he spoke more clearly and plainly.
"I originally wanted to continue this ambiguous relationship, at least so I could see you from time to time, but now that you're divorced, new suitors might appear soon, so I..."
He shrugged slightly and smiled, leaving his words unfinished, but we both understood.
He worried that if he didn't express his feelings soon, someone else would beat him to it, and he would miss his chance.
I shook my head repeatedly and reiterated, "Don't worry, I really don't have the mind to talk about relationships right now, let alone marriage."
After all, I poured my heart and soul into Gu Yanqing, only to end up with such a dismal result. It will be difficult for me to have the courage to face love again anytime soon.
Although I admire Su Shenglin and even have a special crush on him, I have never thought about starting a relationship with him. I prefer to enjoy the feeling of quietly falling in love with him on my own.
