This time, Fang Zhicheng jumped up carefully with Ning Xiangcao. Although his steps were still clumsy, he did not step on Ning Xiangcao. Ning Xiangcao was very surprised and suddenly had an epiphany. She thought to herself, Fang Zhicheng did not violate her intentionally? Thinking of this, she suddenly felt shy.
In Ning Xiangcao's heart, Fang Zhicheng is her savior. Because he is younger than her, she regards him as her younger brother. But if Fang Zhicheng deliberately stepped on her instep just now, it means that she should regard Fang Zhicheng as a normal man.
I actually invited a man to my house, cooked for him, offered him wine, and even invited him to dance with me. Oh my God, what am I doing
Ning Xiangcao's mind began to wander in a complicated way, so her movements became uncoordinated. Suddenly, she felt a soft sensation on the back of Fang Zhicheng's foot. Ning Xiangcao cried out "Ouch!", her face flushed to her ears, and she whispered, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
"It's okay, everyone makes mistakes!" Fang Zhicheng said with a crooked mouth and a smile. However, an evil thought arose in his mind, and when he jumped again, he deliberately stepped on the instep of Ning Xiangcao.
Ning Xiangcao knew that Fang Zhicheng did it on purpose, so she didn't say anything. She glared at Fang Zhicheng, then found the right opportunity and gap and kicked him. Fang Zhicheng was already prepared, laughed, took a step back and dodged. This aroused Ning Xiangcao's competitive spirit, and she stretched out her feet frequently, while Fang Zhicheng dodged repeatedly and fought back from time to time.
Slowly, the dance turned into a foot-stomping battle. The two held hands ambiguously, and their four legs were entangled constantly. They kept backing away, and they felt tripped by something and lost their balance. Ning Xiangcao was also pulled by this force, and "plop", the two of them fell heavily to the floor. The music from the CD player continued, and in addition, there was the awkward breathing sound when the man and woman's mouths were only one centimeter apart.
Chapter 0261 The Fairy Who Fell into the Earth
I don't know how long it was before the doorbell rang. Ning Xiangcao stood up in a panic, walked to the door, and gently opened it. An old lady in her sixties was standing outside the door. She was not very tall and she stood on tiptoe to look inside.
"Grandma Chen, is there something wrong?" Ning Xiangcao subconsciously blocked her line of sight and said with a smile. This building is full of old residents, and they see each other everywhere, so they are familiar with the neighbors upstairs and downstairs.
Old Mrs. Chen sighed softly, pointed inside, and said, "It's too loud. My old man has high blood pressure recently. He couldn't stand it just now and almost passed out. I'm saying hello to you, please speak a little more quietly."
Ning Xiangcao was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "No problem, I'll turn off the music later."
Old Mrs. Chen smiled, but she didn't leave immediately. She kept looking inside and asked in a low voice, "Is anyone home?"
Ning Xiangcao smiled shyly, "A friend."
Old Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "It's good to have someone here. People are gone, so you have to start your life over again. I have advised you before, but it's a pity that you can't change your mind. If you need, come downstairs and sit down when you are free. I can bring the ones I introduced to you to you anytime."
Old Mrs. Chen was also a warm-hearted person. She had approached Ning Xiangcao several times before to help her find a blind date, but Ning Xiangcao had always declined. Ning Xiangcao had lived in this community for more than ten years. The couple lived a low-key life. No one knew Ning Xiangcao's identity. Seeing that Ning Xiangcao was a young widow, there was a constant stream of people trying to be her matchmaker.
Ning Xiangcao sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to for the time being. Thank you anyway."
Old Mrs. Chen had a look of disappointment on her face. She turned and left, walking down holding onto the wall. But she secretly sighed in her heart that it was such a pity that such a beautiful woman had to become a widow at such a young age.
Returning to the house, Ning Xiangcao turned off the DVD player. Recalling the ambiguous situation just now, a blush appeared on her face. Seeing Fang Zhicheng sitting on the sofa eating grapes, she whispered, "The old lady downstairs thought we were making too much noise, so she asked us to be quiet."
Fang Zhicheng concealed his embarrassment, as if he didn't care at all, and said in a calm tone: "Life in the old community is very comfortable, but there is one bad thing, that is, the sound insulation effect is not very good, and the slightest movement can be easily heard."
Ning Xiangcao hesitated for a moment, looked up at Fang Zhicheng, curled her lips and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. It's just that we just... were too naughty."
Fang Zhicheng chuckled, reached out to get a tissue from the coffee table, wiped his fingers, and said softly, "Sister Vanilla, can I help you clean up?"
Ning Xiangcao was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Of course, I haven't cleaned the house for a while."
Ning Xiangcao's house was actually very clean, but Fang Zhicheng was a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. There was some dust in the corner, which made him feel uneasy. So he simply asked to help Ning Xiangcao tidy up the house. In that way, they could get closer to each other.
After tidying up for half an hour, Fang Zhicheng was sweating and took off his shirt, leaving only a small vest inside. Ning Xiangcao was also sweating profusely, so she changed into a loose T-shirt. The chest and armpits of the T-shirt were already wet with sweat, and crystal water droplets were oozing out of the tip of her nose, which was quite a sight.
Originally, in Fang Zhicheng's eyes, Ning Xiangcao was a fairy who didn't care about worldly things, but now he has changed his mind. Fairies also have to eat three meals a day and clean the room. She was bending over to mop the floor, while Fang Zhicheng was wiping the coffee table. He glanced over and saw the wide neckline of her T-shirt revealing her beauty. The black bra wrapped around her fair and plump body, which made his heart twitch.
Ning Xiangcao was concentrating on mopping the floor and never thought that she would become a sight to others. Fang Zhicheng was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but glance at her from time to time. Ning Xiangcao's eyes and eyebrows were less charming and more delicate, but he was warning himself in his heart that such a woman could only be admired from a distance and not played with, otherwise he would probably bring disaster upon himself.
Fang Zhicheng's main concern for Ning Xiangcao is to build a good relationship with her. After all, if he wants to make a breakthrough in Yunhai, he must rely on Ning Xiangcao's strength. At the same time, Ning Xiangcao will also play a key role in whether the Golden Street project can be won.
Ning Xiangcao felt a burning sensation on her body for some reason. She raised her eyes and looked at Fang Zhicheng, only to see that his gaze was evasive. She was slightly startled, then looked down at his collar, quickly pulled it, and then rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng.
Fang Zhicheng blushed when he was looked at by the delicate beauty. He retracted his gaze and wiped the coffee table diligently. The rag rubbed against the surface of the coffee table, making a "gurgling" sound.
"Be gentler, it sounds so unpleasant." Ning Xiangcao spat.
Fang Zhicheng pointed to an old spot on the coffee table and muttered, "If you don't use force, this spot can't be wiped off." After saying that, he used more force and wiped the spot clean.
Ning Xiangcao covered her mouth with a bitter smile and said, "I can see that now. Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly stunned, scratched his head awkwardly, and said, "You also discovered this."
Ning Xiangcao's beautiful eyes flickered as she said, "I remembered an interesting story. When I was in college, there was a beautiful girl in my dormitory who had obsessive-compulsive disorder. She had a quirk. Every time she put on her socks, she would pick them up and put them in front of her nose to smell before putting them on."
Fang Zhicheng stuck out his tongue and whispered, "I won't do that. I not only have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but also a mild mysophobia. It would be better for me to die than to smell the socks."
Ning Xiangcao found Fang Zhicheng interesting, and her face was as smiling as a flower. Her fair and soft face was slightly flushed, and she looked very charming. She felt her hair was a little messy, so she took off her hair bundle, rearranged her hair, and then continued to bend down to mop the floor. However, this time she was cautious and would pull her collar from time to time to avoid exposing herself.
Around half past three, the two of them cleaned the house thoroughly. Ning Xiangcao accepted Fang Zhicheng's suggestions and adjusted the arrangement of the furniture. After everything was cleaned up, Ning Xiangcao filled a basin with warm water and washed Fang Zhicheng's face. Fang Zhicheng took the towel and smelled the faint fragrance on it, thinking that this was probably what Ning Xiangcao usually used. After washing his face, Fang Zhicheng was ready to leave. Ning Xiangcao was about to call the driver to pick him up, but Fang Zhicheng waved his hand to refuse. Ning Xiangcao sent Fang Zhicheng downstairs, and waited until Fang Zhicheng disappeared from her sight before turning around and going upstairs.
On the balcony upstairs, Old Lady Chen saw all this, stretched out her hand and waved towards the inner room, saying, "Old man, come over quickly and take a look."
"What's the matter?" Master Chen came over tremblingly.
"Look, isn't that Xiao Ning from our upstairs?" Old Mrs. Chen seemed to have discovered a huge secret. "No wonder she always ignored me when I tried to find a husband for her. It turns out she already has someone."
Old Lady Chen squinted her eyes and couldn't see clearly. She waved her hand and said, "You women just like to meddle in other people's business. Xiao Ning is so beautiful and has such a good temperament. If she wants to find a companion, do you still need to worry about it?"
Old Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said, "I was the one who started it all. From now on, I won't care about her anymore."
Back at the Dongtai China Merchants Bank office in the Pudong Building, it was quieter than expected. Including Wang Chong, there were only six clerks. Guo Jinyuan was sitting in Wang Chong's office reading a newspaper, while Wang Chong was holding the landline and talking about something in a somewhat anxious tone.
After Wang Chong finished the call, he found Fang Zhicheng coming to the office. He quickly stood up and said, "Director Fang, I'll pour you a glass of water."
