"It was you who stayed in bed," she said, pretending to be concentrating on the sausage and fried eggs on the plate.
In fact, she didn't dare look back at him.
His dark eyes were half-closed, his hair was a little messy, and he was leaning lazily against the door frame. Although he looked messy, his whole person exuded a kind of lazy sexiness.
Just looking at him, her heart beat faster and she didn't dare to look back.
Shu Qiang smiled nonchalantly, turned around and went into the room to freshen up. After a while, he walked out again.
He changed into a black vest and trousers, carrying a can of cold beer in his hand, spread his long legs, and sat comfortably next to her.
He still looked lazy and sexy, but at least he was well-dressed and didn't make her too flustered.
"I'm leaving in the afternoon. I still have work tomorrow." She felt satisfied to see him living so well. The stone that had been on her heart for many years was finally able to fall away.
"I'm afraid it won't be as you wish." Shu Qiang raised his chin, pointed to the dark clouds in the sky, and said, "Storm."
"I'm going to bother you for one more day." Xiyin felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't talk nonsense to me." Shu Qiang looked at her intently, "You can stay here as long as you like. You know I will never drive you away."
There was a strange light in his eyes, and there seemed to be something in his words that she didn't dare to delve into.
She avoided his eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you. In fact, you are very comfortable here! Is your grandma's small hot spring garden like this?"
"Do you remember?" He was a little surprised.
"Of course I remember." Xiyin said with a smile: "You also deliberately told some ghost stories about bed and breakfasts to scare me. It was extremely bad."
"I've heard more ghost stories in the past few years. If you like it, I don't mind continuing tonight." Shu Qiang leaned into her ear and said mysteriously.
"No! I hate it!" Xiyin glared at him fiercely.
Shuqiang laughed proudly.
He stood up, squatted next to the smoky hot spring, stroked the smooth pebbles beside it, and said:
"In fact, this place is completely modeled after the back garden of my grandma's house. Even the pebbles and the old cherry blossom tree next to it were all brought over from my grandma's house."
"You love your grandma very much." Xiyin said movedly.
"I miss her very much, but it's a pity that she passed away too early. I opened this hotel just to miss her, and it also fulfilled my childhood dream." Shu Qiang said, with a rare tenderness in his voice.
She remembered that he had told her before that he would open a small hot spring hotel in the future, and he really did it.
"Aqiang, tell me how you are doing these years. We have been looking for you, but we can't find you no matter how hard we look."
Shuqiang sat back on the chair, took a sip of beer, and replied calmly:
"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. I went to many places and met many people. Finally, I found that I feel most free here, so I stayed here. I want to thank my grandfather. I was penniless when I left to get married. Fortunately, he He once lent me a sum of money and I invested it in stocks and made a fortune, giving me enough funds to do what I wanted to do.”
"As expected, you remitted the 10 million to grandpa. Grandpa had no doubt that it was from you, but we were still half-convinced!" Cheng Xiyin said with a smile.
"Of course, this is a secret between me and grandpa. Here's to grandpa!" Shu Qiang raised the beer can and said with a smile to the sky.
jingle.
The doorbell sounded from Shuqiang's house.
"Come in! The door is not closed!" Shu Qiang turned his head and called into the room.
The hotel manager Yuluo walked in with a food basket in his hand and a smile.
When she saw Xiyin next to Shuqiang, the smile on her face suddenly stiffened imperceptibly.
"It's so early, Miss Cheng." She nodded and smiled at Cheng Xiyin, then put the food basket on the table and said, "Aqiang, breakfast is ready."
Cheng Xiyin noticed that other employees in the hotel called Boss Shuqiang, but Yuluo only called him by his first name, and she looked at Aqiang with a very, very gentle expression, which was more gentle than a subordinate should have towards a boss.
However, Shuqiang didn't seem to have anything special about her and just casually replied: "Thank you."
"You drank again. Drinking on an empty stomach in the morning is bad for your stomach." Yu Luo deliberately touched Shu Qiang's arm with his hand and smiled very charmingly.
"It's okay, don't worry blindly." Shu Qiang disagreed.
"Ms. Cheng, are you comfortable staying in our hotel? We are in a rural area, not as good as a big hotel in the city. I hope Miss Cheng is still satisfied with the service here." Yuluo said to Xiyin.
She seems to consider herself the hostess here! What is her relationship with Aqiang
Before Cheng Xiyin had time to answer, Shuqiang had already frowned and said, "Yu Luo, she is not a guest of the hotel."
"I know, Miss Cheng is your friend." Yuluo said with a smile. He noticed that the atmosphere in the garden was a little tense due to her appearance, so he had to say: "I'll go out first, and you can continue chatting."
Shu Qiang nodded, his expression cold.
After Yuluo left, Cheng Xiyin asked with a smile: "Is she your girlfriend?"
