Gu Lianzhou scrubbed the small garment under the cool water.
As I rubbed, my whole body warmed up.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he gradually tightened his grip on the fabric.
The cute berry pattern was crumpled by him.
They look so pitiful.
He suddenly let go.
As if she could no longer hold on, she leaned against the sink, closed her eyes, and clenched her jawline tightly.
The noise from the bathroom grew louder and louder.
First came a trickle of water from the faucet, then it turned into the roar of a showerhead.
Occasionally, a muffled, extremely suppressed gasp would be heard...
The next day.
Shen Zhiyi had a good night's sleep and was in a good mood as she sat at the dining table eating breakfast.
Gu Lianzhou, dressed in a casual beige knit suit, slowly walked down the stairs. With broad shoulders and long legs, he looked lazy and carefree.
"Brother, aren't you planning to go to the company today?"
Shen Zhiyi tore off a piece of bread, took small bites, and looked at him curiously.
Without a suit, Gu Lianzhou sheds his cold and austere demeanor, appearing both noble and elegant.
It was a style she had never seen before.
"Hmm." Gu Lianzhou sat down opposite her. "Tomorrow is the shareholders' meeting, so I need to stay home and give you some extra help."
Shen Zhiyi put down the bread.
"What? Nervous?" Gu Lianzhou looked up at her.
Shen Zhiyi shook her head, swallowed the bread, and took a deep breath. "With my brother here, I'm not afraid of them!"
Gu Lianzhou smiled slightly.
"Um."
"I'm not afraid of them."
Her naivety and innocence naturally led her to group them together.
This protective stance, it must be said, did indeed please him to some extent.
"Brother, eat."
Shen Zhiyi picked up a plate of fruit from the table and presented it to him like a precious treasure.
"It's so sweet and fresh!"
Gu Lianzhou saw the fruit on the plate, and his composure crumbled instantly.
The plate contained raspberries and strawberries.
The pattern is exactly the same as the one on the clothes he washed last night.
He felt inexplicably thirsty.
I picked up the water glass and took a big gulp.
"You eat it." His voice was hoarse as he restrained himself from looking away.
But a second later, he slowly moved back, fixing his gaze on her face, his eyes dark and unfathomable. "Eat more if you like it."
He pointed to the orange juice on the table.
"Drink it with it, so you don't choke."
Shen Zhiyi looked regretful and nodded obediently.
"Then I'll eat it all by myself."
She reached out her fingertips, picked up a berry, and slowly put it into her mouth.
He then picked up the orange juice and took small sips.
The fruit pulp clung to her lips, and she stuck out her tongue to lick it away little by little.
Gu Lianzhou stared at her lips, which opened and closed, their color deep red, her lip tips round and full... His large hand, hanging under the table, slowly tightened, and terrifying blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.
"Take your time eating, I'll wait for you in the study."
He fled as if he were escaping.
Shen Zhiyi watched his retreating figure and slowly curved her lips into a smile.
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the orange juice beside him. He slowly picked up the glass and rotated his wrist.
Did you think there was medicine here?
elder brother.
The night she spent the night in his room, she had already replaced the medicine in the black bottle.
Nowadays, those drugs that look the same are no longer things that can make her docile and obedient, but are just ordinary vitamins.
Shen Zhiyi raised her eyebrows in a good mood, thinking of how restrained Gu Lianzhou had been just now.
After she finished breakfast and went back to her room to change, she found, as expected, the underwear she had deliberately left behind on her bed.
She picked up the clothes, and they were dry to the touch.
If you get closer, you can smell a very faint scent, unique to his shower gel.
She looked towards the study through the wall.
I almost burst out laughing.
So... he had designs on her so quickly?
She threw the clothes on the bed.
A sudden urge to tease him flashed through my mind.
A vile desire.
...
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.
