Lu Yanzhuo's body stiffened.
He looked down and saw the hem of her dress that she was clutching tightly in the darkness, and felt his heart leap into his throat.
"good."
He put down his toolbox and, at her urging, walked to the sofa and sat down with her.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he gradually made out her face.
Such a small face.
A face filled with anxiety, a face that needed his protection.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
He said it instinctively.
"Can I just hold your clothes like this?" Shen Zhiyi asked softly, her voice pleading.
She looked up at him.
His eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness, as if he couldn't bear the slightest rejection.
Lu Yanzhuo felt like his whole body was on fire when she looked at him.
His eyes were dark and his voice had become hoarse.
"Is just carrying clothes enough?"
He offered a large hand.
Let's hold hands.
Shen Zhiyi was briefly stunned.
"May I?"
"Neighborhood mutual assistance, huh?" Lu Yanzhuo's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a hungry wolf luring a white rabbit into a trap, as he curled his lips.
Shen Zhiyi blushed slightly, bit her lip, and tentatively touched his palm with her fingertips.
The moment they touched, he flipped his hand and gripped it firmly.
thump.
thump……
Two hearts pounded wildly.
Shen Zhiyi lowered her head, her face flushed in the darkness, feeling the warmth of his palm.
He's so hot...
One hand could easily envelop her entirely.
Her hands, calloused from years of handling a gun, brushed against her skin, and with the slightest movement, a jolt of electricity would run through them, making her tremble involuntarily...
Lu Yanzhuo looked at her shy appearance, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
He held her tightly.
Feel the softness in my palm.
It was a touch that far exceeded his expectations, smoother and softer than silk.
However, what fascinated him even more was...
He confirmed that touching her would not cause him to lose consciousness or fall into a daze.
This shows that...
Can we go even further?
His eyes were deep and dark. He grasped her hand and pulled her slightly towards him.
"Come closer to me," he said.
"Ah? Okay..."
Shen Zhiyi thought it was because the distance was too far and he was uncomfortable holding her hand, so she moved over and sat down next to his legs.
Lu Yanzhuo held her hand, pressing his arm against hers, "This way... you won't be afraid anymore, right?"
He closed his eyes and placed their intertwined hands on his lap.
From top to bottom.
Let's feel her warmth together.
"Yes, I'm not afraid anymore... Thank you," Shen Zhiyi said, her eyelashes lowered.
She didn't dare look at him.
She felt as if his gaze, even in the darkness, was burning like a fire, making her face flush and her heart race.
Even touching her arm felt like touching a piece of iron that had just been heated to a red-hot temperature—hard, vigorous, and frighteningly hot.
Not to mention that every tiny movement would pull on her muscles, and just by being close to him, she could feel the power surging from him.
I feel very safe.
It's overflowing with wild, untamed hormones...
Embarrassed, Shen Zhiyi's eyes darted around, and she suddenly noticed the pants he was wearing.
Her gaze froze.
Move it up to his chest.
Struggling to make out the details in the dark, he finally asked in confusion, "Huh? You didn't seem to be wearing this outfit when you left this morning."
Lu Yanzhuo paused for a moment.
To admit it directly.
"Yes, I was just kidding you."
Shen Zhiyi opened her lips, seemingly unsure how to handle his frankness.
"Then how did you know my house was without power?"
Lu Yanzhuo turned his head and stared at her intently, without hiding anything.
"I watched your live stream."
"I looked at it for a long time."
He unconsciously squeezed her hand.
He thought.
How can it be so thin and soft?
Even if you slap yourself or punch him a couple of times, it's like cotton wool—it has no power whatsoever.
It seems... no matter what he does to her, he can withstand the punishment she gives him.
His eyes darkened.
Shen Zhiyi, unaware of his subtle movements, suddenly realized and said, "So, you're that 'Yan'?"
"Hmm." Lu Yanzhuo lowered his head, and in the complete darkness, he clearly saw his own heart.
"So... does the dinner you mentioned last time still count?"
He met her eyes, his voice hoarse and hot.
"I've changed my mind."
...
The moment when Shen Zhiyi's breath caught in her throat.
The electricity came out unexpectedly.
The ambiguous and enchanting atmosphere preserved in the darkness suddenly vanished.
As if burned by each other's gaze, they both awkwardly let go of each other's hands.
In the bright light, Shen Zhiyi suddenly realized that they were now very close, almost touching.
Her face flushed red instantly.
She subconsciously moved to the side, getting a little further away from him.
"Didn't you say... you wouldn't eat it?" she said softly, as if she were holding a grudge.
Lu Yanzhuo traced her profile with his gaze.
"I was ungrateful." He spoke with a smile, a hint of softness softening his cold, fierce eyes. "Really not going to eat?"
He said slowly, "I'll do it."
"You're going to do it?!" Shen Zhiyi looked up almost immediately.
"Hmm." He smiled slightly.
The meal I made for her this morning was a test.
Try to find out what flavors she likes and what dishes she'd like to eat.
Oily, salty, sour, sweet, pungent, dry, wet, sticky, refreshing, heavy, soft... He could tell her general preferences from the leftover food.
