I found out that Shen Mi liked to eat beef at Zhang Zhiqing’s birthday party four years ago.
Maybe it was because the girls around him were more gentle, Xie Rongzhuo had never seen a girl who could eat two steaks in one breath.
Not only that, she could also eat three more snow melons.
Xie Rongzhuo couldn't eat beef, so he couldn't help but take a piece of pastry to try.
It was sticky and sweet, and he didn't like it.
But when he saw her take another piece, he couldn't help but finish the remaining half.
After that, a long time passed, and Xie Rongzhuo tried it every day, but he still couldn't figure out what was so delicious about it.

The plane arrived in Guangzhou at 9:30 in the evening, and it was already 10 o'clock when we picked up our luggage.
Xie Rongzhuo went to Chengdu on a whim this time. He didn't bring any luggage or assistant with him. Zhang Zhiqing volunteered to pick him up at the airport.
She was worried that Xie Rongzhuo's hand was injured. Shen Mi couldn't move the luggage by himself, so he asked Qin Zhimo to do the hard labor.
"Mi Mi, don't take them. Give all those bags to him. They look heavy."
Xie Rongzhuo was about to reach out his hand.
"Let me do it." Qin Zhimo took the thing from Shen Mi's hand.
"Thank you." Shen Mi was not particularly familiar with Qin Zhimo, so he said politely, "Thank you for your help."
Qin Zhimo is a rather dull person, but his dullness is different from Ke Zhan's "a dog can't spit out ivory" dullness. His is the kind of aloof silence that is more like that of a flower on the mountain top.
When Qin Zhimo met Shen Mi with Zhang Zhiqing before, he never even looked at her. Today, maybe because Xie Rongzhuo was there and he knew she was not single, he looked at her politely and nodded.
"You're welcome."
When we got to the exit, he said, "I'll go drive."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shen Mi shuddered. If Xie Rongzhuo's aura was cold, then Qin Zhimo was gloomy.
"Still watching?"
Xie Rongzhuo said coldly.
Shen Mi retracted her gaze, took his hand, and said obediently: "With so many people, can one car accommodate them?"
Seeing the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked over, Shen Mi realized that she was worrying too much. That's right, how could Miss Zhang's childhood friend be a poor person
"Mi Mi, you and uncle get in the car first, we'll put the luggage in." Zhang Zhiqing went to the trunk to help Qin Zhimo pass things, "Oh my god, why did you bring so many hot pot ingredients! There's also bacon and oranges... What is this? Are you going to bring agricultural products?"
"The workers received the compensation and insisted on giving it away." Shen Mi said, "I have already divided it into three parts. You and A Li also get one."
"Oh, you got it by doing good deeds? Then I did contribute a lot! In order to add blood to you, my new fingernails were broken."
Qin Zhimo glanced at her hands and said, "Get in the car, I'll move it."
"It's okay." Zhang Zhiqing lifted the plastic bag and said, "Mi Mi, can I take the oranges in the bag?"
"Take whatever you want."
“I’ll eat one!”
Qin Zhimo was taciturn and said no more than five sentences from beginning to end. Xie Rongzhuo was replying to work messages. Shen Mi was a little tired and leaned back to take a nap. The only voice in the carriage was Zhang Zhiqing.
"The road was jammed when we came here. Luckily Qin Zhimo drove steadily. If I were driving, I would have rear-ended the car today."
"I didn't realize you two had such a good relationship. He actually knew that you were allergic to flowers. If he hadn't reminded me, I would have bought flowers for Mimi."
"Will your daily life be inconvenient these days, uncle? Do you want someone to take care of you?"
Xie Rongzhuo glanced at Shen Mi.
Zhang Zhiqing understood and wiggled her index finger quickly: "Oh~ Yes! Mi Mi, why don't you move to your uncle's place and take care of him for a few days?"
Shen Mi: “?”
When did she say she wanted to move in with Xie Rongzhuo!
But Xie Rongzhuo was injured because of her, and there was really no one she could rest assured about except for herself.
"Aren't you going to renovate your house?" Zhang Zhiqing was peeling an orange. "It's a good opportunity for me to move in with my uncle for a while, and then my house will be renovated. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Shen Mi was too embarrassed to say that she hadn't saved enough money for the renovation.
"I haven't chosen a style yet, no rush."
Zhang Zhiqing turned around and handed over an orange slice: "Want to eat?"
Shen Mi waved his hand: "I ate enough on the plane."
Zhang Zhiqing: "Where's my uncle?"
Xie Rongzhuo lowered his head and checked his email on his phone: "No need."
Zhang Zhiqing fed it to Qin Zhimo: "Hey."
Qin Zhimo looked straight ahead and slightly tilted his head to eat it.
"Is it sweet?" Zhang Zhiqing asked him.
Qin Zhimo: "Yeah."
"Haha, then I can eat it with peace of mind." Zhang Zhiqing broke off a piece and put it into her mouth.
Shen Mi: "You went through so much trouble to trick us into helping you test the poison?"
Zhang Zhiqing: "What else?"
Xie Rongzhuo raised his eyes to look at her, and shook his head as if he was thinking of something.
Shen Mi noticed it, followed his gaze and looked at Qin Zhimo, and suddenly understood something.
Xie Rongzhuo and Qin Zhimo were childhood friends. Among the group of people of similar age who grew up together in the compound, everyone except Zhang Zhiqing knew Qin Zhimo's thoughts.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Zhang Zhiqing turned around and asked Shen Mi: "Should we send you home directly or to Shangboyue Mansion?"
Xie Rongzhuo turned off his phone and turned his head to look at Shen Mi.
Facing his dark and glowing pupils, Shen Mi seemed to see a pitiful big dog, and couldn't bear to say no: "... Let's go to Shangboyue Mansion."
Zhang Zhiqing nodded and said to Qin Zhimo, "Then there's no need to take a detour."
Xie Rongzhuo's injury won't heal in a short time, and it will take half a month to remove the stitches. Shen Mi thought, why not take the opportunity to renovate the house.
But money is still a big problem.
*
Maybe Xie Rongzhuo really brought good luck to her, and luck came just as expected.
As soon as he entered his house, Zhao Baili called him: "It's famous! It's famous! Shen Mi is famous in our company!"
Shen Mi was confused: "The company is on fire?"
Zhao Baili: "Our company's APP has become popular! The traffic has increased three hundred times compared to last month! Our phone has been flooded with calls from companies looking for cooperation this afternoon! Thanks to the vigorous development of our motherland! If the situation continues like this, we will be able to make back our investment in less than two years!"
Shen Mi took a breath and said excitedly: "You mean - we are going to get rich!?"
"Yes! We are going to be rich soon!!"
Shen Mi was so excited that he almost jumped up. He stood there biting his fingers and stamping his feet: "That's great, that's great, that's great."
"Calm down, this is just the beginning. I'll pass the financial report to you, and you'll be happy later!" Zhao Baili said, "I'll ask the finance department to give you the dividends for last quarter tomorrow, just count the money slowly!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Shen Mi nodded like pounding garlic: "Thank you, Boss Zhao, for helping me get rich. I love you, love you, love you!"
Xie Rongzhuo looked at the girl dancing in the living room, curled his lips, and felt happy for her.
He expected Shen Mi to make money, as she had a natural talent for business. She was also very courageous, and dared to invest a large sum of money in a project that was not favored by her peers.
Shen Mi felt that there was a certain amount of luck involved in the popularity of their APP. After all, their peers were very experienced and worked very hard, but their product just became popular.
Things that science cannot explain can only be attributed to metaphysics.
—Thank you for your support!
In fact, it wasn’t really superstition. She was just too happy and wanted to coax Xie Rongzhuo.
"Boss~"
Shen Mi lay on the bedroom door frame, with a very artificial expression, like a pretty little fox wagging its tail: "Has anyone ever told you that you are very lucky in having a girlfriend?"
Xie Rongzhuo lowered his eyes and glanced at her lazily.
"No, I only have a girlfriend."
Shen Mi walked over, stretched out a finger and poked his firm abdominal muscles, with seductive eyes and a smile like a bewitching goblin, and said in a delicate voice: "Didn't you say that you like playing the boss and secretary the most? I'll accompany you."
Xie Rongzhuo's eyes darkened, and he put his arm around her waist and lifted her up with one hand.
The world spun around and Shen Mi was pushed to the ground.
Xie Rongzhuo leaned over and pressed down, easily controlling her: "Do you think you can do whatever you want to me with just one hand?"
Shen Mi's slender wrist was grabbed by Xie Rongzhuo's big hand and pressed firmly above his head. His knees were also held down by him, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.
… it’s out of control.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she acted pitiful and said, "I was just teasing you. You are so weak."
Xie Rongzhuo said softly, "The boss and the secretary have to go to the office to play. Why don't we just play some master-disciple game at home? What do you say, good disciple?"
His gentleness is actually a kind of seduction.
Shen Mi regretted his decision so much that his intestines turned green. He quickly admitted his mistake and said with an innocent look in his eyes, "Master, I was wrong."
"The apprentice makes mistakes every day because the master didn't teach him well."
Xie Rongzhuo lifted her chin and whispered in her ear: "Master will teach you well tonight."
These frivolous words spoken in his cold voice became an addictive drug wrapped in honey, and Shen Mi was instantly overwhelmed.
His strength was hidden under his gentle appearance, and his speech and behavior were elegant and gentle, so it was difficult to detect. However, Shen Mi could sense that Xie Rongzhuo was very dangerous at this moment.
It is Shen Mi's survival instinct to flee when facing a strong opponent. She subconsciously dodged: "I won't learn! I, I, I won't change after repeated teachings. I won't obey discipline. I can't learn it!"
Xie Rongzhuo's interested look disappeared.
He stared at the frightened girl for a few seconds, resisted the urge, and whispered, "I'm going to take a shower."
well
Could it be that her feeling was wrong
Shen Mi lay blankly on Xie Rongzhuo's bed.
This was different from the feeling of helping him tidy up his bedroom in a businesslike manner before. Now she was staying in his private space as Xie Rongzhuo's girlfriend.
It felt like the air was filled with male hormones; the quilt, pillow, and sheets were all stained with Xie Rongzhuo's scent.
Thinking that she would also be contaminated by his scent, Shen Mi couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
Xie Rongzhuo came out after taking a shower.
Shen Mi sat upright with his back stiff, his hands folded neatly on his legs.
She had a serious expression and did not look away, just like a newlywed lady who was kidnapped and sent to the bridal chamber to wait for the groom to lift the veil.
Xie Rongzhuo walked up to her and looked her over with his head tilted.
"Am I that scary?"
Shen Mi: "No."
Xie Rongzhuo tapped her forehead lightly: "Then what are you nervous about?"
"I'm not nervous."
Shen Mi looked at the floor and the wall lamp, but didn't dare to look at him.
Xie Rongzhuo sneered and lifted her chin to force her to look at him: "I say, isn't it bold to peek at me while I'm taking a bath?"
Shen Mi's cheeks flushed, his eyes flickered as he said, "I was just afraid that your wound would get wet."
Xie Rongzhuo came closer to her: "Are you not afraid now?"
His face suddenly came close, and Shen Mi leaned back in panic: "Don't, don't get so close to me."
She's not ready to live together yet!
Why is her love sequence different from others
How can one live together immediately after confirming the relationship
Maybe I scared her just now.
Xie Rongzhuo pursed his lips for a moment, raised his hand to rub the top of her head, and turned around: "I'll sleep in the guest room."
"Need not!"
Shen Mi held his hand, wanting to keep him, but was a little embarrassed. She avoided his sight and whispered, "No need to be so troublesome."
Xie Rongzhuo had just taken a shower. His eyes and brows were handsome without a trace of evil thoughts, and he looked very safe.
"Want to join me?"
Shen Mi dared to look him in the eye and nodded: "Yeah."
"No regrets?"
“No regrets.”
Then she understood the man's skill at disguise.
Just after lying down for a few minutes, Shen Mi was kissed until he was out of breath.
She could feel the changes in Xie Rongzhuo's body and whimpered in protest, but was reluctant to push him away. She was so shy that she didn't know what to do.
This shyness was not specific at all. It might be because she had never had close contact with a man before. Her body was as stiff as a dead fish as Xie Rongzhuo kissed her all the way down.
Xie Rongzhuo's lips and teeth lingered at the end.
After only resisting for a few minutes, Shen Mi couldn't help but hum softly.
The unfamiliar joy left her bewildered.
Xie Rongzhuo raised his head, observed her expression, propped himself up with his arms, and pulled the quilt over her to wrap her up.
"Be good, I'll take a shower and you go to bed first."
Shen Mi still hasn't recovered.
His eyes were blurry and he took a deep breath of fresh air.
Since they were already in a relationship, Shen Mi was not unable to accept something happening between lovers, but she was not mentally prepared. The most important thing was that it happened suddenly, and they were not prepared at all, and it was not safe at all!
Xie Rongzhuo must have thought of this, which is why he acted like that just now.
He didn't dislike her.
Shen Mi lay on his side, looking at the figure on the bathroom door, his misty eyes filled with amazement, a little surprise, and anticipation.
When she thought that Xie Rongzhuo had become restless because of her and would ignore everything to please her, the little girl's vanity in Shen Mi's heart was satisfied to a great extent.
Thinking that the gauze on his hand had loosened, Shen Mi put on his clothes and went to knock on the door.
"Thank you, Rongzhuo."
The sound of water dripping in the bathroom disappeared, and Xie Rongzhuo lowered his voice and said, "Hmm?"
This response was extremely sexy.
Shen Mi blushed: "Do you want me to help you?"
"No need," Xie Rongzhuo panted slightly, "I'm afraid of scaring you."
Shen Mi: "Your hands are inconvenient."
“I still have my left hand.”
"… "
