Xu Tingbai's voice was right next to her ear, very close.
His scent is all in my nostrils, fresh and pleasant, making me feel at ease.
He hugged her tightly. Lin Qingle's heart was beating like a drum. She pressed hard, "I should ask you this... The company should build a few more elevators. There are so many people after get off work, it's hard to wait."
"Then use my elevator next time."
“… I don’t.”
Xu Tingbai smiled softly and held her tightly. Lin Qingle also let him go. They were separated by a door, so she put all her worries outside. Here, no one knew about their relationship, so she could hug him without worry.
Lin Qingle thought so and put his arms around his waist. Xu Tingbai was slightly startled and deepened the hug.
"Why didn't you tell me you were back?" Lin Qingle asked.
"It was originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but something happened, so I changed it."
"Then you can also tell me..."
"Why don't you just ask you to come up and talk to you in person?"
Lin Qingle: "Oh... it's okay."
Xu Tingbai let go of her a little and looked down at her: "Just okay?"
"What else is there to do—hmm."
He suddenly bent down and kissed her on the lips.
Lin Qingle stared at him blankly. Even though... they had kissed each other last time, it was only that one time. This sudden "attack" still made her feel incredible.
"I'm back, shouldn't you be happy?" Xu Tingbai stared at her lips and said lightly.
Lin Qingle stretched out his hand to rub his nose and looked away: "Very happy, of course... happy."
She was nervous when she spoke, and unconsciously stretched out her tongue to lick the place he kissed. Her lips were crystal clear and delicate.
Xu Tingbai couldn't control himself and turned his eyes away. He pinched her jaw and turned her face around: "Lin Qingle."
"ah?"
"Last time... How did it feel?"
Lin Qingle: "What?"
Xu Tingbai lowered his head and kissed her on the lips again: "This."
Lin Qingle paused, almost choking on the air: "This, this?"
"This is the first time I'm going by my feeling. Do you think it feels normal?"
Lin Qingle's face turned red.
To be honest, she was also confused in the hotel that day. There might have been some bumps and bruises when they were kissing each other, but given the situation at the time, her mind was blank and her body was weak. How could she have the time to make an evaluation
Lin Qingle was so embarrassed that she didn't say anything for a moment. Seeing her like this, Xu Tingbai felt that he was right.
He was too impatient that day and couldn't suppress the desire in his heart at all, so the kiss must not have been very appealing.
"This can be learned. I have studied it, but it still requires practice," he explained, resting his forehead against hers.
Seeing that he was serious, Lin Qingle stammered, "Yeah, it's not that ordinary, it's pretty good."
"If it's just good, then it's just average."
"… "
He placed his hand on the back of her neck, rubbing it occasionally, "Then I'll try more and try to make you feel comfortable."
"Stop talking." Lin Qingle stretched out his hand to block his mouth, "Do you really have to talk about this..."
"Yeah, that's right. Less talk and more action."
"… "
Xu Tingbai smiled and kissed her again.
Only this time it wasn't just a kiss, but he was seriously "practicing". He slowed down the pace, slowly seducing and entangling her, pushing and going deeper, not allowing her to hide.
This process was long and lingering. Lin Qingle was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate herself. If he hadn't had one hand around her waist, she would have almost fallen.
"Hmm..." She took a quick breath and wanted to end it.
However, just as he dodged, he was pulled back the next second.
"Wait... Stop..."
She stepped back, and he followed her all the way, finally pressing her down and blocking her behind the door.
Xu Tingbai thought it was time to stop, but even though he thought so, he couldn't rest. Under her sobs, his gentle rhythm slowly disappeared, and his hasty, reckless and uncontrollable behavior was revealed.
Lin Qingle leaned against the door with nowhere to retreat, and was grabbed and kissed again.
When he finally let her go, she felt her tongue was a little numb.
"... It's not appropriate here." Xu Tingbai let him go, frowning slightly.
Lin Qingle wanted to curse at that moment, after kissing for such a long time, he said it was inappropriate to do it here!!!
Buzz—
The phone vibrated.
Xu Tingbai took it out and looked at it, then took Lin Qingle's hand and walked towards the sofa while answering the phone.
"Hello."
"You're back, right?" asked Xia Tan on the opposite side.
"Yes, at the company."
"Come to my house for dinner tonight."
Xu Tingbai: "I am with Lin Qingle now."
"Really? That's a coincidence! Let's go together."
"Need not."
"What do you mean you don't need it? Don't talk to me. Let Qingle take it."
Xu Tingbai glanced at Lin Qingle, who looked puzzled: "Who?"
"Xia Tan."
Xia Tan: "Hey, don't occupy the phone, let Qingle answer it."
Xu Tingbai handed her the phone.
Lin Qingle: “Hello?”
"Qingle, you are with Xu Tingbai today, so why don't you two come to my house for dinner? I cooked for you today. Oh, and Xiaoquan also said that he hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to see you."
"Really?"
"Yes, you must come. My skills cannot be left unnoticed."
"Yeah... OK."
"Okay! Then hurry up!"
"oh."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingle returned the phone to Xu Tingbai. When she looked up, she found that Xu Tingbai was looking at her seriously.
She was stunned: "What?"
"You really agreed."
"Xia Tan is very welcoming... and since you just came back, it would be nice to go sit with him."
Xu Tingbai: "Because I just came back, so the two of us can go together."
"Oh." Lin Qingle couldn't help but laugh. "You're talking about this. Then don't I also want to meet Xiaoquan and Yangyang? We are not related. If it's the two of us... there's a long way to go."
There is ample time.
Xu Tingbai held Lin Qingle's hand tightly. He had never thought that this word could be so nice.
"Okay, let's go. I'm a little hungry." Lin Qingle stood up and pulled his hand to get him up. Xu Tingbai was happy with what she said and followed her to the office door obediently.
Lin Qingle reached out to open the door, but suddenly stopped: "No more holding hands, let me go first."
Xu Tingbai: "Not holding hands?"
"Don't hold hands after we leave this door. Otherwise, it would be bad if people knew that Mr. Xu was dating his subordinate."
Xu Tingbai: "What's wrong with that?"
"It just... doesn't feel good. Every company doesn't encourage office romance."
Xu Tingbai: "I'm not in the same office with you."
Lin Qingle glanced at him: "That's not the point."
Xu Tingbai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then what's the point?"
"The point is that this is not worth publicizing, and if people knew about it, I would probably be treated like a panda for a while, which would affect my work."
She said it seriously, Xu Tingbai reached out and pinched her face, jokingly saying: "So, is work more important, or am I more important?"
Lin Qingle stared in astonishment: "Boss Xu, how can you say such words? Who am I working for? It's for your company."
"That's my own fault."
"Of course, you are the boss of this company." Lin Qingle took his hand away, "Let's go, Mr. Xu, keep a friendly distance when you go out, do you hear me?"
Xu Tingbai chuckled and said indulgently, "Got it, Deputy Manager Lin."
—
Xia Quan won first place in the piano competition today. To celebrate, Xia Tan cooked for him personally.
When Lin Qingle and Xu Tingbai arrived at his house, his last dish had just come out.
“You guys are finally here, come on, try my braised pork…” Before he could finish his words, Xia Tan’s smile froze. He put down the dish in his hand and looked at the two people who walked in holding hands.
Lin Qingle became aware of his gaze and pulled away, but Xu Tingbai held on even tighter.
"I... Shit." Xia Tan threw away her apron and walked over, bending down to stare at their holding hands. "What is this? What are you doing?"
Xu Tingbai said, "I forgot to tell you that we were together before the New Year."
Xia Tan was shocked: "How could you forget this?! Shouldn't you have shown off to me right away?"
Xu Tingbai smiled and said, "It's the same if I show off now."
"… "
Lin Qingle was a little embarrassed, "Where's Xiaoquan?"
Xia Tan: "In the inner room... No, Qingle, why are you with him like this? It's too easy for him! It's too careless! Come on, tell me how he deceived you!"
Lin Qingle: "I, I'll go see Xiaoquan! You ask him!"
"Hey, don't go."
Xu Tingbai grabbed Xia Tan who was about to go over and said, "Why, do you have any objections?"
Xia Tan turned around and glanced at him, then said sinisterly, "I just want to know what kind of trap you set for others. It's only been a year, and you're already together!"
Xu Tingbai let him go and said faintly, "No trick, we just like each other and are attracted to each other. Oh, maybe you won't understand even if I tell you this."
Xia Tan: “… ?”
When Lin Qingle walked to the door of the study, she heard Xia Tan cursing at Xu Tingbai outside. She touched her nose and knocked on the study door.
The study door was not closed, and Lin Qingle saw Xia Quan wearing headphones and Yang Yang staying obediently beside him.
"Koizumi."
Xia Quan quickly took off one of his headphones: "Sister Qingle? Wait, I'll call."
Lin Qingle: "You are busy, I will go to see Yangyang."
"Yeah." Xia Quan said to the person on the other end of the headset, "I'm here. A sister just came. Yes, it's the guide dog base..."
Xia Quan was talking to his friend on the headset. Lin Qingle didn't interrupt him. He squatted down and touched Yangyang's head.
Yangyang was very familiar with her and leaned on her hand affectionately.
A minute later, Xia Quan hung up the phone: "Sister, you are finally here. Is my brother's dish ready?"
Lin Qingle: "Almost. I heard that you won the first place in the national piano competition. That's amazing."
Xia Quan: "It's, it's OK. Actually, it's not a particularly glorious win. Yi Si suddenly felt unwell and didn't come. Otherwise, she would probably have won first place."
Lin Qingle: “Es?”
"Yes, Yang Yisi, you should have seen him. He was the one who studied with me in the music center before."
After hearing this, Lin Qingle also remembered that when she accompanied Xia Quan to class before, she saw him having a good relationship with a girl.
"Oh, I remember now. I saw you playing four hands with her that time."
Xia Quan was a little embarrassed: "Well... it's her."
Although Xia Quan can't see, he has a cheerful personality and rarely seems to be embarrassed, so it's rare to see him looking so "embarrassed" now.
Lin Qingle was stunned for a moment: "So, it was her who called just now."
Xia Quan: "Ah? How did you know?"
Lin Qingle: "I guessed it because you looked so happy."
"Well... she called me to congratulate me."
"It seems you like her very much."
Lin Qingle just made a joke, but she didn't expect the boy sitting in front of her to suddenly become embarrassed. "Speak softly! Don't let my brother hear it. I really, really like this, but sister, please don't say it in front of my brother."
Lin Qingle: “Why?”
"If my brother finds out, he will definitely go visit her, and he will do some fancy things. I don't want that... What if Izil finds out that I like her too? What should I do then?"
"Also? Does she like you?"
Xia Quan was silent for a moment, her cheeks reddened: "Well, she said... she likes me."
Lin Qingle was puzzled: "Then let her know that you like her too, isn't it good?"
"Of course not." Xia Quan clenched his fists and whispered, "I can't see, why say these things... And she is so nice, why does she like me? I don't want to drag her down."
Lin Qingle froze for a moment. At that moment, the boy in front of her seemed to overlap with the boy in her memory. The same situation... the same words.
She opened her mouth and wanted to comfort Xia Quan by saying no, that girl would like everything about you if she likes you like this and would not think that you are a burden to her.
But she found she couldn't say it.
She couldn't encourage Xia Quan, because the fate of both of them would be implicated...
"Sister, it's better for me not to like anyone in my current state, don't you think? If I can't protect the person I like, why would I bother to waste her time?"
