Shen Zhiyi began to look for various opportunities to get closer to him.
While listening to the lecture, she would unconsciously bite the end of her pen in front of him. After he scolded her for being unhygienic, she would apologize softly and pitifully. But after a while, she would go even further and start biting her own finger instead.
The movements are slower.
You'll also see the tiny tip of your tongue hidden between your lips and teeth.
Gu Lianzhou was in a state of great confusion.
He reprimanded her even more harshly.
Shen Zhiyi apologized with teary eyes.
Tell him that when she was a child, her parents were often busy with work and left her alone at home. She had no one to rely on, so she developed the habit of biting things when she was anxious.
Please, brother, forgive her.
Gu Lianzhou's anger subsided instantly, and he even felt like slapping himself twice.
He gave her a necklace as an apology.
He said he shouldn't have been so mean to her.
Shen Zhiyi specially chose a silver chain with a bone pendant, saying it was very cute, so Gu Lianzhou bought it for her and put it on her himself.
Shen Zhiyi was indeed captivated by it.
When she was looking at documents with him, she would often touch her necklace, intentionally or unintentionally.
Her slender fingertips twirled the pendant, gently caressing it, the bone sliding back and forth on her pink fingertips.
Gu Lianzhou was so slippery that he couldn't think straight.
Sometimes, he would even be pushed away by her, his touch on the skin of her neck.
Gu Lianzhou is going crazy.
He didn't know why she had so many little tricks up her sleeve.
Moreover, each one threw him into complete disarray.
Despite his usual rationality and ruthlessness, a voice often clamored within him, urging him to stay away from Shen Zhiyi.
Otherwise, the situation will develop in an even more uncontrollable direction.
He clearly knows better than anyone else.
However, he is often swayed by "responsibility" and "purpose" and finds himself irresistibly drawn to her.
He even suspected that the person who made the traditional Chinese medicine was himself.
The day of the shareholders' meeting.
Gu Lianzhou changed into a cold, hard dark gray suit early in the morning, avoiding Shen Zhiyi, and decided to go to the company first.
But as soon as I reached the entrance, I was stopped by a sweet voice.
"Brother! Wait for me!"
She was wearing a houndstooth tweed suit and came running down the stairs like a rabbit.
She stopped in her tracks beside him, naturally took his arm, and breathed softly.
"Brother, are you going to let me go to the company alone?" She looked up at him, pursed her lips, her tone accusatory, and her eyes glistening with tears.
Gu Lianzhou sighed resignedly.
"Put on your shoes, I'll wait for you."
He turned away, refusing to look at her overly cute face.
Shen Zhiyi didn't let go of his arm; instead, she used the force to press down on him and lifted one foot to put on her high heel.
Her soft upper body pressed against his arm without any obstruction.
The movement changes and crushes along with the action of putting on shoes.
Gu Lianzhou's muscles suddenly tensed up.
He gritted his teeth and brushed her away.
He said sternly, "Stand still."
Shen Zhiyi staggered, landing on one foot, and looked at him with a somewhat bewildered expression.
"...What's wrong?"
"Did I do something wrong again?" she asked, her lips pursed, her face full of hurt. "Lately, my brother keeps pushing me away..."
"Are you tired of me?"
Gu Lianzhou pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
He sighed.
He turned around, squatted down in front of her, and held her ankle. "Stand still."
He gave the order in a deep voice.
Shen Zhiyi pressed his shoulder and put his feet down.
Gu Lianzhou lowered his eyelashes, supported her heels, and stuffed her entire foot into the high heel. He then pulled the thin strap and fastened the buckle.
Her skin and bones rolled so delicately across his palm.
Gu Lianzhou's eyes were dark and gloomy.
"Okay," he said, his voice hoarse and hot, tilting his head back.
Shen Zhiyi bent down without realizing it, and just happened to meet his astonished gaze.
The two were extremely close to each other in an instant.
They almost touched each other's lips.
Her warm breath brushed against his lips without obstruction, carrying a sweet fruity scent that mingled with his cool, aloof demeanor.
The atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous.
Too close...
It's dangerously close.
Gu Lianzhou did not move, a terrifying deep sea churning in his dark eyes.
The large hand holding her ankle slowly tightened...
