Jiang Qingzhou hooked his finger, and Huo Jinyu made a puzzled sound... Hmm? Jiang Qingzhou touched his head with his fingertips to indicate, and Huo Jinyu finally understood what he meant.
With an "oh", he lowered his head.
The angle is just right. I only need to raise my head slightly, and the warm lips will be imprinted on my cheek.
Jiang Qingzhou left immediately and praised: "You performed very well today, keep it up."
Huo Jinyu was so stunned by the kiss that he stood there like a wooden stake, unable to move.
After a long while, he rolled his eyes stiffly, raised his hand and touched the place where Jiang Qingzhou had kissed him just now, stroking it gently, and laughed foolishly.
Zhou Zhou just took the initiative to kiss him. It happened the first time, the second time, the second time... countless times. How long could it be
By the way, why was I kissed just now? Huo Jinyu held her chin and thought about it. It seemed to be because of Ye Tianyu.
He subconsciously frowned, because he didn't like Ye Tianyu. But then he thought again, he could just hide his dislike for Ye Tianyu in the dark, and pretend to be generous to Ye Tianyu.
In this way, Zhou Zhou will definitely look at him with new eyes, and if he works harder, he might even be able to Heihei~Heihei~
When it came to his own actual interests and benefits, Huo Jinyu did not hesitate for too long and chose the latter without blinking.
With some purpose in mind, Huo Jinyu returned to the office again, not empty-handed. He placed a cup of light yellow chrysanthemum tea on Ye Tianyu's desk.
The cups are disposable paper cups in the tea room, and chrysanthemum tea is also provided free of charge in the tea room. You can drink as much as you want.
Ye Tianyu glanced at the chrysanthemum tea on the table, and a strange light flashed in his black pupils. He then looked at Huo Jinyu, who had an expressionless face. He was obviously doing the job of serving tea and water, but his expression was still superior.
The arrogance that is unique to a young master from an aristocratic family has seeped into his bones and flesh, and made him never lower his head from beginning to end.
With the corner of his eye, Ye Tianyu glanced at the upright figure sitting in front of his desk.
In fact, he couldn't quite understand Jiang Qingzhou's thoughts. How long could the sincerity of a rich young man like Huo Jinyu, who was born and raised in a wealthy family with a silver spoon in his mouth, last
Maybe you really like him now, but what about ten, twenty, thirty years later? Who can guarantee that this true love will not change
Jiang Qingzhou had secretly helped him a lot, and he knew it all, so he didn't want to see Jiang Qingzhou put his trust in the wrong person.
If Huo Jinyu dared to betray him, he would...
Ye Tianyu suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with coldness.
Huo Jinyu clicked his tongue, but what he was thinking in his heart was, if he didn't need to get rewards from Ye Tianyu, he wouldn't be so eager to serve tea.
At first, she was somewhat reluctant, but now, looking at Ye Tianyu's extremely ugly charcoal face, Huo Jinyu suddenly realized that a soft knife slowly sharpening a person seemed to have greater lethality than a hard knife directly stabbing a person.
"Chrysanthemum tea, improves eyesight and reduces internal heat." Huo Jinyu deliberately prolonged the last two words and said slowly, "I think this tea is quite suitable for you to drink now."
Ye Tianyu was busy with his work, as if he didn't hear what Huo Jinyu said.
Jiang Qingzhou, who saw this scene, was already in a mess, dumbfounded and shocked. Was Huo Jinyu betrayed? She actually poured a cup of tea for the male lead. If he didn't trust Huo Jinyu's character, he would have suspected that the tea was drugged.
It's extremely poisonous and can kill instantly if it comes into contact with blood.
The office chair slid a few meters to the side. Jiang Qingzhou hooked Huo Jinyu's clothes with one hand. Huo Jinyu calmly turned around and sat back in his office chair with the force Jiang Qingzhou pulled him.
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Qingzhou dragged his chair over. Before he could ask a question, Huo Jinyu asked him first: "Are you happy?"
Jiang Qingzhou understood immediately and did not hesitate to praise him: "Well done."
It seems that being in a relationship can really change a person from the inside out. Even the male protagonist, whom I have always disliked, can condescend to offer him a cup of tea.
Of course, the male protagonist deserves it, because Huo Jinyu has suffered so much injustice for the male protagonist before. Let alone one cup of tea, even ten or twenty cups would make Huo Jinyu fall.
Anyway, it is better to be on good terms with the male protagonist than to be on bad terms with him. As long as Huo Jinyu can keep doing this, the ending described in the book will definitely not be Huo Jinyu.
Just as he was secretly pleased and happy about Huo Jinyu's changes, a meaningful hint came to his ears.
"Are there any more rewards?"
Jiang Qingzhou: "..." I understand. It turns out that he came here for the reward, and his goal is very clear.
As expected, it’s Huo Jinyu!
"I'll fry you two... no! Five poached eggs when I get home from get off work tonight."
Not hearing the reward he had been thinking about, Huo Jinyu grumbled in dissatisfaction: "You know this isn't the reward I'm talking about?"
He blinked and gestured to Jiang Qingzhou to think about it carefully.
The first person who casually suggested a reward was not satisfied, so Jiang Qingzhou fulfilled Huo Jinyu's little wish and whispered, "I'll give you a reward when I get home tonight."
Huo Jinyu was satisfied. He felt that the reward he got from the cup of tea he casually brought in did not disappoint him.
I will continue brushing tomorrow.
When he returned home in the evening, Jiang Qingzhou immediately gave Huo Jinyu the reward.
A mouthful of love~
After Huo Jinyu tasted the sweetness of this, he became extremely addicted, and a series of butterfly effects occurred, which made him pay more attention to the matter of getting rewards, and he completely regarded Ye Tianyu as a real-life big boss who could give him explosive rewards.
Every day, rain or shine, she would bring Ye Tianyu a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
After a few days, he even figured out how to stack rewards on his own. Every two hours or so, he would put a cup of chrysanthemum tea on Ye Tianyu's desk, or he would pick up a cup from the tea room and bring it back to the office when he passed by.
Because Huo Jinyu was no longer satisfied with just a kiss on the cheek every day, he wanted to go a step further, so at the end of the day, Ye Tianyu would receive at least five cups of chrysanthemum flower tea.
If Ye Tianyu showed any intention of not wanting to drink, Huo Jinyu would drag his office chair to Ye Tianyu's desk, and then he would watch quietly without saying a word. Only when Ye Tianyu finished drinking the cup of chrysanthemum tea would he drag the chair back.
Ye Tianyu was very annoyed, but he couldn't do anything to Huo Jinyu now.
If the relationship between him and Huo Jinyu was still like the one before where they hated each other, then he would have a hundred ways to make Huo Jinyu suffer, but there was Jiang Qingzhou between them.
Jiang Qingzhou worked so hard for a long time to change Huo Jinyu into what she is now. He couldn't let Jiang Qingzhou's efforts go to waste.
It’s right to think so, but!
After drinking chrysanthemum tea continuously for more than ten days, even though he could still bear it mentally, his body could not bear it anymore.
During the day and at night, I have to go to the bathroom nearly ten times a day. It’s simply unbearable.
"- Can you please control him and tell him not to bring me chrysanthemum tea again?"
While Huo Jinyu was printing the documents, Ye Tianyu approached Jiang Qingzhou with a dark face. He felt that if he didn't ask Jiang Qingzhou to control Huo Jinyu, he would be in trouble.
Maybe in two days, he will be able to drink chrysanthemum tea to his heart's content every day.
If... if it was the disposable paper cups commonly used in households, he could just bear with it and it would be fine, but the disposable paper cups from the company have a capacity of 500ml, and one is equivalent to two and a half cups for a household.
After drinking it for nearly half a month, I have almost absorbed it into my body. Even the breath I exhale is filled with the rich aroma of chrysanthemums and flowers.
Ye Tianyu added: "Give him a reward instead."
If Jiang Qingzhou continued to reward Huo Jinyu without restraint, he would probably turn into a walking human chrysanthemum.
Jiang Qingzhou's face flushed slightly, as if it was on fire. Huo Jinyu seemed to be using Ye Tianyu as a dungeon boss to get rewards recently. He knew about this and mentioned it to Huo Jinyu in a tactful way, but was always refuted by Huo Jinyu's twisted logic.
I've mentioned it several times. Besides, I've obviously listened to you and tried my best to have a good relationship with Ye Tianyu. Look, it's July now and it's so hot outside. Wouldn't it be good to drink some chrysanthemum tea to cool down
I'm nice to him, shouldn't you feel even happier
I care about him, shouldn't you feel happier
He and I are getting along peacefully. Isn't this what you have always been looking forward to seeing
After a few consecutive ending sounds of "ma", Jiang Qingzhou completely gave up the idea of arguing with Huo Jinyu.
After all, no matter what, Huo Jinyu's starting point was good. He wanted to have a good relationship with the male protagonist. Why was he trying to hinder him from behind
Think about it again, drinking chrysanthemum tea in the hot summer can clear your mind, improve your eyesight and reduce internal heat, which is pretty good!
He also drinks one cup every day and feels the effect is quite good.
"—He already gave me 12 cups yesterday." This is absolutely insane.
Jiang Qingzhou: “!!!” This is a bit too much.
"I got up to go to the bathroom four times last night." That's an average of once an hour.
Jiang Qingzhou said awkwardly: "I will talk to him later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jinyu came back from the computer room after printing documents, holding a document in one hand and a disposable water cup in the other.
When Ye Tianyu saw the light blue paper cup, he could smell the chrysanthemum fragrance from ten meters away, which made his neck tighten reflexively and he wanted to go to the bathroom.
A dark face with a hint of blue, a blue tint in the black.
"I'm thirsty."
Before Huo Jinyu put the cup of chrysanthemum tea on Ye Tianyu's desk, Jiang Qingzhou took it away and dragged Huo Jinyu out of the office.
The entrance to the safety passage is a good place for whispering.
"You're almost there."
Now that Ye Tianyu, the victim, has spoken, Jiang Qingzhou naturally cannot allow Huo Jinyu to continue to do this.
"I know you want to have a good relationship with Ye Tianyu, but if you keep giving him more than ten cups a day, even the strongest man can't stand it."
Huo Jinyu said righteously, "I am doing this for his own good. Drink more chrysanthemum tea in the summer to cool down and reduce internal heat."
"Forget it! If you think it's good, why can't I see you drinking more than ten cups a day..." Jiang Qingzhou squinted his eyes and continued, "Everyone can say nice things, starting from tomorrow... today, no matter how many cups of chrysanthemum tea you bring back to Ye Tianyu, you will not get the reward."
Huo Jinyu… exclaimed, dumbfounded. He had only been grinding for a few days and finally pushed his daily rewards from single digits to double digits, but how come he had lost all the most important rewards
Jiang Qingzhou pointed out: "You are greedy, isn't it normal to cut off your rewards?"
Huo Jinyu felt guilty, his eyes wandering: "I, I don't have that."
"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart."
Through a layer of clothes, Jiang Qingzhou gently poked the place where Huo Jinyu's heart was beating with his fingertips. Huo Jinyu felt itchy at the tip of his heart, so he lowered his head and took the tender, white and slender cat's paw in his hand, squeezing it again and again.
At the same time, I want to try to fight for it again.
"Starting tomorrow, I will only bring him one cup a day, so that I can keep rewarding him~"
Obviously, Huo Jinyu didn't want to give up on getting rewards and taking advantage of Ye Tianyu.
Jiang Qingzhou hadn't originally thought of cutting off all of his resources to Huo Jinyu. He understood the principle that things will turn into the opposite when they reach their extremes, so he was just retreating to advance. Because if he didn't say that, according to Huo Jinyu's habit of brushing dungeons only when there is profit, it is guaranteed that he would be able to brush them back in a few days.
After Huo Jinyu begged him several times, Jiang Qingzhou reluctantly agreed and said, "Okay, I'll give you a good night reward every night."
"But don't drink chrysanthemum tea every day. It's not good to drink the same tea too much. You'll get tired of it. You can try other teas to pair with your tea."
Huo Jinyu agreed readily on the surface, but he was not so happy in his heart. It would be strange if he could be happy if the price dropped too much.
He also began to reflect that the progress of his relationship with Jiang Qingzhou was too slow. They obviously lived under the same roof and slept in the same bed. If it were another young couple in the honeymoon period, they would have lived together naturally and would have been so affectionate every night.
On the other hand, he and Jiang Qingzhou seemed to have skipped the passionate period and went straight into the life of an old couple, the kind that just chatted under the sheets at night, and they didn't even cover themselves with the same sheets.
If he didn't think about it, he would still feel that he could make do with it. But once he thought about it, he felt that this progress was very bad. He was not Liu Xiahui, who could sleep in the same bed with his beloved at night without any bad intentions.
I racked my brains and thought again and again, trying to find out if there is any way to drag the currently stagnant progress bar.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Huo Jinyu snapped his fingers and said shockingly: "Zhou Zhou, if I bring Yan Yan and Ye Tianyu together, can you give me an ultimate reward?"
Hearing this volunteering that was as loud as thunder, Jiang Qingzhou suddenly choked and coughed several times, almost coughing off the pair of black-framed glasses on his nose.
Seeing this, Huo Jinyu reached out and put Jiang Qingzhou's glasses back on. With the other hand, she moved to Jiang Qingzhou's back and patted him to calm him down. She said slowly, "Why are you so shocked? Haven't you always wanted Yanyan and Ye Tianyu to be together? Don't think I can't see it. I just see it but don't say it."
Jiang Qingzhou looked at Huo Jinyu from head to toe with a strange look in his eyes: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I'm serious." Huo Jinyu raised his hand to swear and told the truth, "Yesterday, I went to the secretary's office to get some information and heard them whispering that Yanyan was heartbroken."
Jiang Qingzhou asked in surprise: "What?"
"I went to take a look, and they looked so haggard that they didn't look like human beings." Huo Jinyu sighed.
After all, he and Song Yan grew up together. Now seeing her sad face due to love, how could he remain indifferent
After all, it's all the fault of that culprit.
Huo Jinyu changed his tone and continued.
"Why do you think I gave Ye Tianyu so many cups of chrysanthemum tea these past two days?"
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” So there is another reason behind this.
Ye Tianyu is such a loser! He asked him to reject those girls outside, but he didn't ask him to reject the heroine as well.
Huo Jinyu snorted angrily: "It's only a dozen cups, and he got it all for free."
"I also asked Yanyan, she was stubborn and couldn't let it go. After further questioning, I found out that Ye Tianyu had saved her when she was a child. He was a hero saving a beautiful girl, and Yanyan had fallen in love with him ever since."
Huo Jinyu stroked his hair and said depressedly.
He said, how come the little girl who always followed him and called him "brother" when they were young, suddenly changed one day as she grew up.
Jiang Qingzhou didn't comment after hearing those questions, but just asked: "So, what are you planning?"
Huo Jinyu raised his chin and said, "It's his blessing that Yanyan likes him."
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” This sentence is very Huo Jinyu.
"How do you want to bring them together?"
"I can't tell you that."
All right. He would hear the same result at that time, so Jiang Qingzhou decisively stopped asking.
Then, the topic returned to the beginning.
"I will bring them together, and you have to give me an ultimate reward."
Seeking benefits for oneself under the guise of bringing the hero and heroine together, this... is indeed in line with Huo Jinyu's style of doing things.
Jiang Qingzhou did not agree immediately, but asked: "Can you tell me what the ultimate reward is first?"
As if she was waiting for these words, Huo Jinyu blinked her peach blossom eyes artificially, and they turned into twinkling stars, with an eager and expectant look in her eyes.
With a sincere face, he told Jiang Qingzhou his ultimate wish—
"I want to upgrade to being a husband."
The air was silent for a few seconds.
Fortunately, it is still daytime and the stars have not come out yet, otherwise after hearing this "unreasonable" wish, I would have to use light escape.
"I think you want to go to heaven."
Crash-
Jiang Qingzhou poured a bucket of cold water over him, and Huo Jinyu felt a "pop" and her heart broke into pieces.
"Don't even think about it before graduation." Jiang Qingzhou said in a tone that there was no room for negotiation, and resolutely shattered Huo Jinyu's unrealistic fantasy into slag. "Change it."
"One-night-husband is fine."
Huo Jinyu quickly changed her words and quietly raised one finger, revealing her ulterior motives: "Just think of it as getting me a One-Day Husband Experience Card in advance. I don't have any other intentions, I just want to experience what it feels like to be your husband."
"Tell me more about your... experience card process."
"When we wake up in the morning, we must have a good morning kiss. This is the first step. Then the second step is a loving breakfast and lunch. We can sleep a little longer until noon. The third step in the afternoon is to go to the cinema hand in hand to watch a movie. The fourth step in the evening is to go directly to a western restaurant for a romantic candlelight dinner after coming out of the cinema. The fifth step in the evening is to spend a sweet time together as a loving couple."
Jiang Qingzhou listened carefully to the five processes and was puzzled: "Isn't the process of your experience card that we go through every day almost the same as what you are describing now?"
"How can it be the same?"
For her ultimate reward, Huo Jinyu patiently explained: "One is a boyfriend, the other is a husband, they are fundamentally different, okay?"
"Essentially different? Except for the fourth process in the evening at the western restaurant, the other four processes..."
Jiang Qingzhou suddenly paused and stopped talking. In a flash, Jiang Qingzhou realized the essential difference between boyfriend and husband.
Huo Jinyu's fifth step just now was obviously to express to him... that kind of life between husband and wife.
"We haven't even been dating for half a month." Jiang Qingzhou declined politely. At most, he and Huo Jinyu had only been dating for more than a week.
"We have been living together for more than half a year, and we have already been in tune with each other..." Huo Jinyu argued with reason, wanting to take his wife away all the time, this way and that, this and that.
"… Now we are just one step away… physical integration."
Huo Jinyu whispered the last few words into Jiang Qingzhou's ear. In an instant, Jiang Qingzhou's face turned red from his neck to his ears, and he glared in shame and anger.
But he didn't know that in Huo Jinyu's eyes, this look was no different from a seductive look.
"Don't even think about it!"
Jiang Qingzhou's move this time was fast and accurate. He touched Huo Jinyu's waist and abdomen and twisted it clockwise. Huo Jinyu immediately hissed, and the pain of a few tenths was amplified by him.
At the same time, he begged for mercy: "Zhou Zhou~ good Zhou Zhou~ my sweetheart~ baby~ I know I was wrong."
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Qingzhou let go of his hand and the conversation ended.
Passing by the tea room, Jiang Qingzhou took a paper cup from the sterilizer, filled it with chrysanthemum tea, walked into the office and placed the cup of chrysanthemum tea directly on Ye Tianyu's desk.
He smiled and said, "It's hot, drink more water to quench your thirst."
"?" What's going on? Ye Tianyu's dark blue face was also faintly green.
Walking in a few steps behind, Huo Jinyu saw the sudden reversal of the scene in front of him and laughed unceremoniously. He even raised his eyebrows proudly when Ye Tianyu glanced at him.
With his devilish laughter that was almost indistinct, he was the most conspicuous person in the whole office.
Other colleagues in the office: “…” Although they were confused, it did not stop them from watching the show.
"Is it not enough? I still have some."
Jiang Qingzhou said the second sentence and put the cup of chrysanthemum tea that Huo Jinyu had just brought back on Ye Tianyu's desk.
"Your brain is rusty and needs to be awakened."
Jiang Qingzhou said the third sentence.
It's also tacitly understood.
Ye Tianyu glanced at the two cups of chrysanthemum tea, and did not say any words of explanation. He just nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. There are plenty out there."
"I'll get two more cups."
Almost as soon as Jiang Qingzhou finished speaking, Huo Jinyu's next sentence came seamlessly.
Ye Tianyu's face changed again. He grabbed a dozen folders on the desk and hurriedly said, "I suddenly remembered that these documents need to be sent to the R&D department."
He disappeared like a gust of wind.
The onlookers in the office suddenly stared in amazement, and several female colleagues couldn't help rubbing their eyes.
After a while, a colleague said "kao" -
"Awesome! He must have been practicing whirlwind kicks since he was in the womb."
