The rain stopped quietly at some point, leaving only the faint chirping of insects hidden in the rustling wind, completely inaudible to the sleeping people.
indoor.
Zheng Shuyi was lying on the pillow, her thin back was draped over her body in a mess, her long sweaty hair was scattered on the white pillow towel.
Below the shoulders, half of the back is exposed, and the soft chandelier casts beams of light, making the red mark on the sphenoid bone particularly obvious.
She opened her eyes and watched the hour hand beside the bed pointing to 2:30 in the morning, the flush on her face had not completely receded.
However, the people on the side have not yet settled down completely.
Shi Yan hugged her from her side, and kissed her delicately on her back, bringing out bursts of itching like electric shock.
In such a huge room, the air is very thin.
Zheng Shuyi closed his eyes, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he could smell the ambiguous breath with every breath.
"No more..." She shrank back to the bed, pushed Shi Yan away with her backhand, "I have to work tomorrow, you are so annoying."
Shi Yan's kiss stopped on the back of her neck, brushing away the hair that was sticking to her face, and then stood up.
"Then go take a shower and rest."
Zheng Shuyi was paralyzed and did not move.
When she felt Shi Yan's hand touching her leg, trying to hug her, she sat up reflexively.
Then he put on his nightgown carelessly, lowered his head and pushed him away before getting out of bed.
"I'll wash it myself, don't bother you."
The feeling of inexplicable closeness like an old couple that had grown up in the past few days completely collapsed in this night.
The moment Zheng Shuyi stepped into the bathroom and closed the door, the last of her strength was exhausted, her back pressed against the wall, and her sore waist and legs slowly slid down.
Opposite the wall is just a whole piece of marble, which has the effect of a mirror under the bright bathroom light.
Zheng Shuyi looked at his own figure reflected on the wall, and the scene just now flooded back to his eyes.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and saw a circle of red marks on her wrist, and her breath became hot again.
She couldn't help thinking about it, she was about to go crazy, so she pressed her palm against the wall, using the cold touch to fade away the hot feeling.
It turned out that Shi Yan wasn't just flirting with her.
But it's not entirely objective.
——It’s not just sitting on his lap to react.
Kissing, caressing, even just the lingering sensation on the neck is like a little flammable bomb.
Even more incredible.
Zheng Shuyi found that he was the same.
Moreover, she felt that from now on, she would never be able to look directly at the title "Baby".
Up to now, when she thought of Shi Yan calling her that on the bed, and what happened next, she felt a lack of oxygen.
Every time he yelled, the more emotional he was, the more she would have to bear.
But she was obsessed with the extreme tenderness when he called her that.
He clearly knew that she would be bewitched, and would willingly satisfy his endless demands.
—
Because she was really exhausted, Zheng Shuyi simply rinsed off and walked out.
Back in the bedroom, she looked around, but Shi Yan was nowhere to be seen.
A living person will never evaporate in her own home, so she didn't care, but when she sat by the bed, she saw the things in the trash can, and her emotions were mobilized again.
But no matter how ashamed to face it, she has to tidy up, otherwise the aunt who is doing housekeeping will come to see her tomorrow, and she will be even more ashamed.
So when Shi Yan came in, he saw Zheng Shuyi squatting beside the trash can, sorting things out.
He walked silently behind her.
"I'll do it."
When Zheng Shuyi heard this, his hands trembled, but he sped up his speed. He tied the bag three times and five times, and then kicked it a little further away after getting up.
Then pretending to be calm, he raised his chin and asked him, "When did you buy it?"
Shi Yan tilted his head to look at it, as if trying to remember for a while, and then said: "I don't remember."
Zheng Shuyi felt that he might be embarrassed, although the possibility was very small. "Then you really plan ahead."
Shi Yan followed her feet, looked all the way to her eyes, and nodded naturally, "Well, Xiao has missed you for a long time."
"..."
Although this may sound a bit erotic, as long as you don't deliberately recall what happened just now, it is a compliment.
So Zheng Shuyi raised his chin even higher, "Then are you interested in me?"
Shi Yan: "I thought the performance just now gave you the answer."
"..."
Zheng Shuyi's chin retracted again.
She knew that it was impossible for this person to be embarrassed when he was alone.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she reached out and pushed Shi Yan's chest, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
Being so close, Zheng Shuyi actually smelled a faint smell of smoke.
"Did you go to smoke just now?"
"What's so surprising." Shi Yan lowered his head and rubbed his chin against her hair, with a sense of satisfaction in his voice, "Don't you deserve an afterthought?"
Zheng Shuyi didn't expect that she could hear such a blunt and slightly obscene compliment from Shi Yan.
But in this situation, she felt that his tone of voice was as sexy as when he called him "Baby".
—
The second half of the night, for Zheng Shuyi, was a rare deep sleep in many days.
In those few days, the two of them didn't break through the last level of intimacy, and Zheng Shuyi always restrained herself when she fell asleep in his arms.
But now, she was drowsy fiercely, but she didn't forget to want to hug, cuddle, and coax unscrupulously.
At the last second before her consciousness disappeared, she vaguely remembered that she was about to be attached to Shi Yan like an octopus.
Under such circumstances, it was rare for the two of them to get up on time the next day.
At dawn, Shi Yan stood in the cloakroom arranging his clothes, with a serious expression and a well-dressed appearance.
And Zheng Shuyi half leaned against the table, watching him slowly put on his tie and watch with an appreciative attitude.
When he turned around, Zheng Shuyi suddenly smiled and opened his arms towards him.
Probably because he had seen this look too much last night, Shi Yan no longer needed to guess her intentions, so he went up to hug her and kissed her on the forehead.
Zheng Shuyi smiled with satisfaction, then turned around and walked out with the same solemn expression as him.
After all, she knew that as soon as she left this room, the eyes of the aunt making breakfast and the driver waiting for the pick-up were watching, Shi Yan, this man must change his face in a second, and put on a look that we just sleep in the same bed at night but We don't know each other very well.
Sure enough, when Shi Yan sat at the dining table, he was completely different from him at night.
After several minutes, Zheng Shuyi couldn't stand the silence, and looked at him several times, but he didn't intend to talk.
So Zheng Shuyi had no choice but to chat with the phone.
She took out her mobile phone and took a look. Seeing that several people in the group were discussing something, she casually asked, "I just saw in the group of colleagues that you Mingyu stopped lending to Chenyao Real Estate. Why?"
Shi Yan: "Strict loan allocation and capital utilization are the focus of bank risk control. Stopping loans to Chenyao Real Estate is a necessary measure that banks need to take to avoid financial risks. What do you think?"
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
I don't have any opinions, just want to listen to gossip.
Those who didn’t know thought that the two of us lay in bed last night discussing the bank’s risk control measures.
"nothing."
"Then eat."
—
Thanks to Shi Yan's ruthless operation at the dinner table, when Zheng Shuyi came to the company, no one would think that her tired face was because she was half-tired in bed, and they would only guess which important person she was staying up late and working overtime for an interview outline .
Injured finger and asking for leave while still working so hard at home, who wouldn't sigh that it's unreasonable to say that the meaning of the book is not red.
After returning to work for the first time in seven days, colleagues who were not busy all came to check on Zheng Shuyi's injury. It was not until the editor-in-chief arrived that the office area completely entered the working state.
"Ha, let me tell you something."
Kong Nan carried the juice, moved over on the swivel chair, and whispered, "When I got into the elevator this morning, I heard from Kan Weiyi and the others that Xu Yuling will be transferred to the Ningzhou branch in June?"
"I know." Zheng Shuyi nodded, "The editor-in-chief told me that day after I got home from the company."
"It's really because of that."
Kong Nan looked at Zheng Shuyi in disbelief.
Up to now, Xu Yuling's private rumors have not spread in the company. Kong Nan thought that this matter has not been resolved yet, and the leaders are still deliberating, but he did not expect the result to come down long ago.
It's understandable that the leader didn't say it out. First, he wanted the company to minimize irrelevant gossip. Second, he wanted to save some face for the old employees.
"Do you know, she told people that she wanted to change the environment, and Jiangcheng's work pressure was too great, so she had to be transferred to the branch." Kong Nan rolled her eyes while talking, "If I were you , she filed a complaint with her real boyfriend, and she still wants to leave decently."
"That's not necessary." Zheng Shuyi served coffee and clinked glasses with the juice in Kong Nan's hand, "I'm already satisfied with this deal, and you think my boyfriend is from the underworld? Our magazine has nothing to do with him, Is it possible to find someone to beat her up?"
Kong Nan laughed dryly, and said with the corners of his mouth, "What's the difference between your boyfriend's background and that of gangsters a hundred years ago?"
The fishing time in the morning stopped here, and the two began to move bricks one after another.
More coffee is consumed on Mondays, and most people are still sleepy on weekends. Coupled with physiological spring sleepiness, the whole office building is not as lively as usual.
until five o'clock in the afternoon.
The setting sun was setting, and the twilight was dark, and the sound of the keyboard one after another was very silent.
A little girl who was usually a bit bluffed held her mobile phone and said "Oh!", and then everyone's mobile phones in the financial group rang one after another.
Zheng Shuyi was no exception, but she moved a little slower. By the time she finished reading all the news, Kong Nan had already cast her a gossip-hungry gaze.
The news everyone received was very consistent, all from four or five photos posted by an ordinary person on Weibo.
The person in the photo is Song Lelan embracing a middle-aged man in the hospital.
It's normal for this kind of singer with high popularity and secretive private life to ignite entertainment discussions in an instant, but it was the middle-aged man in the photo that really shocked the entire financial team.
Zheng Shuyi stared at these photos, looking at them over and over again, his eyes went from disbelief to shock to pain, and he couldn't even speak.
How, how could it be, Qin Xiaoming
The poses of the two of them in the photos directly killed their ambiguous relationship. In one of the photos, Qin Xiaoming was holding Song Lelan with his arms around her waist.
She and Kong Nan looked at each other for a moment, and after confirming the information in her eyes, she came back to her senses and ran to the balcony holding the phone.
It took a while for Shi Yan to get through the phone.
"You, where are you?"
Zheng Shuyi's voice trembled slightly, and before he asked him if he had seen the news on the Internet, he heard him say: "I was in the hospital, and I had a car accident in Shiyue."
"Ah?! What?!"
After a wave of ups and downs, Zheng Shuyi exclaimed, "Why did the car accident happen?! Where is the person? What's the situation now?"
"No big problem."
Shi Yan said, "It's not serious."
But Zheng Shuyi couldn't predict whether the calmness in his tone was natural or real, "Which hospital are you in?"
"Jiangcheng People's Hospital."
"I'll come over now."
Without even taking her bag, Zheng Shuyi hurried downstairs and hailed a taxi.
After getting in the car, she was still as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
One is because of Qin Shiyue's situation, and the other is because the man hugging Song Lelan in the photo is Qin Shiyue's father and Shi Yan's brother-in-law.
At the same time, everyone else is concerned about how much Qin Xiaoming's sex scandal will affect Mingyu's stock price, while Zheng Shuyi only cares about whether Shi Banquet will be hit hard by it.
After all, when she mentioned her sister that time, Shi Yan laughed so happily.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
Zheng Shuyi got out of the car in a hurry, still running all the way in high heels, and by the time he reached the third floor of Building B, he was already sweating.
Shi Yan was standing on the aisle waiting for her.
Zheng Shuyi ran towards him, panting, and asked, "Xiaoyue, is she all right?"
"It's okay, I just fainted from fright. The doctor has checked it, it's just a skin trauma."
Shi Yan motioned her to look into the ward.
In the viewing glass, Qin Shiyue was lying on the bed talking to the nurse.
Zheng Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Yan: "I told you it's fine, why are you here in such a hurry."
When Zheng Shuyi heard this, he wanted to stare at him.
Do you think that everyone is as calm as you when they encounter things, as if they have taken the unfeeling pill
But thinking of another thing, she didn't want to stare at him.
"By the way, have you, have you read the news?"
Zheng Shuyi thought that he must get the news sooner than her, so he didn't say it bluntly, "It's President Qin who was photographed."
"With Song Lelan?"
Shi Yan was still so calm, "I saw it."
Zheng Shuyi: "...?"
"Even this kind of thing are you so calm?"
Shi Yan pulled her a little in front of him, looked past her, and after a brief glance, he remained silent.
Maybe this is what people do after being hit.
Zheng Shuyi can quite understand Shi Yan's pretending to be strong.
She lowered her head, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Shi Yan helped her by the shoulders, trying to make her look up, "What's wrong with you?"
Zheng Shuyi: "I'm just like you, it's also very difficult."
Shi Yan: "Why?"
Zheng Shuyi was also shocked that the unreachable idol had such a relationship with her, and said to herself: "I didn't expect that the closest distance between me and my idol was that she had sex with my boyfriend's brother-in-law. This kind of thing. How could it be...how could it be Mr. Qin and Song Lelan? "
"Everyone said that she has both virtue and skill, but she actually did this kind of thing."
"She also said that she will always sing about love, which is ridiculous."
"Don't you feel your face hurt?"
Time Banquet: "..."
He raised his head, looked at the woman behind Zheng Shuyi, and called "Sister" softly.
