Standing there drying her hair, Xu Ruantang finally realized the height difference between her and Chen Ji.
She glared at Chen Ji to express her dissatisfaction.
Chen Ji immediately bent down and brought his head close to hers, letting her rub the towel against him.
Chen Ji's expression softened, his eyes held a smile, and his voice was deep and warm: "I am not Xu Hanli. Wife, if you want to know, I will ask him tomorrow."
He answered in a very serious manner.
Xu Ruantang was so angry she laughed.
She's so open-minded, she wouldn't get angry just because other girls are being discussed.
Chen Ji's will to survive came out of nowhere.
"Xu Hanli grew up with you since you were little. What do you think he likes about Shen Youyou?"
Xu Ruantang suddenly felt like teasing him and asked Chen Ji with a smile.
Chen Ji took the towel from her hand and said, "Go upstairs and go to sleep. I'll come up and keep you company after I wash the towel."
Before Xu Ruantang could speak, his large hand reached out and rubbed the top of her head without any mercy.
Her once smooth black hair was now quite frizzy.
Xu Ruantang punched and kicked Chen Ji's departing figure.
She kicked it, but it didn't even touch Chen Ji's buttocks.
Xu Ruantang: "......."
I used to think I was a long-legged beauty, but now I realize how arrogant I was.
Chen Ji deliberately avoided her, and Xu Ruantang did not pursue or pester her.
Since the two of them are sharing a bed anyway, if Chen Ji is so capable, then he shouldn't come up tonight. Will running away solve the problem?!
After going upstairs, she still wasn't sleepy and wanted to wait for Chen Ji to come upstairs, so she leaned against the headboard and read a book.
The visual design for the store has come to a close, but learning never ends.
She has already read the book that Li Shuyang lent her for the third time.
It must be said that the internal teaching materials of art academies in this era were truly a treasure trove of carefully compiled materials.
Not a single word of nonsense in this book.
The teaching was very practical; the professors who compiled it included all their own experiences without reservation.
Xu Ruantang couldn't help but think of her teacher, whose class lasted forty minutes. The first fifteen minutes were spent boasting about his past glories, the middle ten minutes were spent drawing diagrams with a flourish, and the last fifteen minutes were spent scolding them.
Learning anything depends entirely on luck and talent.
Every class I'm either getting scolded or on my way to getting scolded.
They're tired of hearing things like "they're not even as good as kindergarteners."
Chen Ji didn't stay downstairs for long before coming up. When he entered the room, he found that Xu Ruantang was still awake, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Ruantang was looking at the book she had been holding in her hands for the past few days.
She seemed to cherish it, turning the pages with great care.
Chen Ji walked over, naturally took the book from Xu Ruantang's hand, and flipped through it.
"What? Give it back to me."
Xu Ruantang tried to grab it, but Chen Ji stretched out his long arm and raised it high.
"When did you go to the library? Why didn't you call me? I would have gone with you."
These books don't belong to my home.
Xu Ruantang stood up from the bed, hands on her hips, and said angrily, "No, Li Shuyang lent it to me. You can't borrow this kind of internal teaching material from the library."
Chen Ji stood by the bed. She was always the one looking up at him, but today she finally got to hold her head high.
Indeed, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.
Xu Ruantang raised an eyebrow. "How is it?"
Chen Ji found it somewhat amusing; she had been ill recently and looked very weak most of the time.
It's quite rare to see it like this now.
Xu Ruantang tilted her chin up, but her eyes were secretly glancing in Chen Ji's direction.
The latter's handsome eyebrows furrowed, his expression was cold and indifferent, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Xu Ruantang didn't notice and thought he was angry.
It just felt so inexplicable.
But a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, and she has never liked direct confrontation.
He immediately stretched out his arm and hung on Chen Ji.
"Wife, why didn't you tell me when you went to see Li Shuyang?"
Chen Ji's tone was calm, but Xu Ruantang sensed a hint of danger in it.
Her first thought was still that she was worried about Li Shuyang's book, so she freed one hand to snatch it from Chen Ji's hand and held it tightly in her hand.
"Have you been busy lately?" Xu Ruantang wrapped her arms around Chen Ji's neck and buried her head in his neck.
Her tone was aggrieved: "I'd like to talk to you, but I don't have time."
Chen Ji has been leaving early and returning late lately; I wonder what he's been busy with.
He felt a little guilty, so he reached out and hugged Xu Ruantang, gently weighing her in his arms. "Wife, this is a special time. Once this busy period is over, I will definitely spend more time with you."
Xu Ruantang immediately smiled and quickly kissed Chen Ji on the lips.
"Then tell me, what exactly does Xu Hanli like about Chen Youyou?"
The topic took a sudden turn without any warning.
Chen Ji was impressed by her powerful ability to get to the bottom of things. He sighed, tightened his arms, and sat down on the edge of the bed with her in his arms.
He frowned and thought for two seconds, then looked up at Xu Ruantang and said, "Beautiful?"
Xu Ruantang: "......"
"So superficial?" She shook her head again after saying that. "Not really, all men are like that."
While it's realistic, being beautiful is a prerequisite and a necessary condition.
Otherwise, how many men would be willing to look beyond an ugly exterior to appreciate an interesting soul?
What do you mean all men are like this?
Chen Ji raised his hand and pinched Xu Ruantang's cheek.
Xu Ruantang didn't care at all, "Everyone loves beauty, right? I like pretty people too, and I like handsome people too!"
As she spoke, her eyes lingered on Chen Ji's face.
If it weren't for Chen Ji's face, she probably would have run away long ago.
"I'm sleepy, shall we turn off the lights and lie down?"
Xu Ruantang hugged Chen Ji's neck and made a suggestion.
After they lay down, Xu Ruantang remembered another question and asked Chen Ji, "What about you? What do you like about me?"
Although she knew the question was boring, she was still curious about how Chen Ji would answer such a potentially disastrous question.
For a long time, no one behind him made a sound.
Xu Ruantang turned around in his arms, and although she couldn't see him, she still looked up at him, "Chen Ji?!"
"Not sleepy?" Chen Ji asked back, "Or maybe we shouldn't sleep?"
Xu Ruantang was speechless for a moment.
When talking about Shen Youyou, he could at least say the word "beautiful," but when it came to her, he couldn't utter a single word.
That bastard!
Xu Ruantang flung Chen Ji's hand away from her and rolled over, still wrapped in the blanket.
Not content with just turning over once, it rolled halfway around the edge of the bed.
Chen Ji was no longer covered by a blanket.
With no sound behind her, Xu Ruantang let her mind wander for a while before falling asleep without a care in the world.
Listening to the even breathing around him, Chen Ji's unfathomable dark eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
He reached out and scooped the sleeping person, blanket and all, into his arms.
Xu Ruantang was unaware of these things.
She woke up in the morning and unilaterally announced that she was going to have a cold war with Chen Ji.
Chen Ji wasn't there, so she hummed a few words towards the spot where he had slept.
He completely forgot that he had said last night that he wouldn't get angry because of discussions about other women.
