Lin Yuxi stared at Zhou Yanjing looking for his "leftover things".
It was already late at night, and Zhou Yanjing didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He looked around slowly here and there.
Lin Yuxi was so sleepy that she could hardly stand, and couldn't help but urge him: "What are you looking for?"
He didn't know where his defensiveness came from: "Why are you asking? Are you planning to keep it for yourself?"
"Don't be a villain. No matter how valuable your things are, they won't be worth more than this house."
Zhou Yanjing hummed in his throat: "That's not necessarily the case."
Lin Yuxi leaned dizzy against the cabinet door: "I'm very sleepy, can you hurry up?"
"Sleep when you're sleepy. It's not like I've never lived in this house before. How can I get lost?" Zhou Yanjing opened the drawer and picked up a pair of wooden combs inside to look at it.
The precious small-leaf red sandalwood is carved with fine and complex patterns, and the wood exudes a mellow and light aroma.
"This comb is very delicate, where did it come from?"
Lin Yuxi glanced at it: "Grandma prepared it for the wedding."
The old wedding customs passed down from the past, such as one comb to the end, two combs to reach the eyebrows, three combs to fill the house with descendants...
"Have you ever used it?" Zhou Yanjing asked.
Lin Yuxi yawned, and her voice became nasal: "No."
"No wonder we got divorced." Zhou Yanjing raised his eyes, "Look, it's all your responsibility."
Lin Yuxi: ...crazy.
Because of his actions, Lin Yuxi saw the wedding ring on his ring finger.
He actually still wore it.
Lin Yuxi was so sleepy that she stared at him for a few seconds and asked him, "Why don't you take off your wedding ring?"
Zhou Yanjing's hand paused, but his answer was casual, as if the matter was not very important:
"If you wear it for too long, your skin tone will be uneven when you take it off."
Lin Yuxi: "..."
Quite particular.
She couldn't bear it anymore, so she sat down on the small sofa and waited.
Originally, I wanted to let Zhou Yanjing leave after he found the things. The matter would be settled and no one would disturb anyone in the future.
But she didn't last even five minutes, and fell asleep on the sofa.
She didn't know that as soon as she closed her eyes, Zhou Yanjing stopped pretending to search.
He walked over with very gentle steps, fearing to wake her from her alert sleep again.
When I walked to the sofa, I saw that she was already asleep with her head tilted, revealing a long and thin white neck. The yellow light and shadow hit it like a layer of honey.
Zhou Yanjing looked down for a while, then leaned down and gently picked her up.
When she was put on the bed, Lin Yuxi's brows moved, as if she was about to wake up.
Zhou Yanjing stopped and kept his bent posture, inserting his fingers into her hair and gently stroking her scalp.
Soon Lin Yuxi fell asleep in the comfort of the massage, and she slept peacefully this time.
Her long hair lay softly on the pillow. Zhou Yanjing sat beside the bed, probably out of his spare time, and took the small-leaf rosewood comb to comb her hair.
"This is very useful." He said to himself, "Why don't you use it?"
It was already morning when Lin Yuxi woke up and found herself lying on the big bed in the bedroom, still covered with a quilt.
After being tormented by Zhou Yanjing in the middle of the night, she didn't get enough sleep and was still feeling sleepy when she went downstairs after washing.
Mrs. Chen has prepared breakfast: "I cooked your favorite porridge, adding glutinous rice, red dates, peanuts and lotus seeds, as well as white fungus and wolfberry."
After eating too many homemade rags and seeing the sumptuous, sumptuous, tasty and delicious breakfast on the table, Lin Yuxi's sluggish spirit improved a little.
While she was drinking porridge, she heard footsteps coming down from the second floor.
Turning around, she saw Zhou Yanjing walking down the stairs while fastening the buttons on his cuffs.
He wore a tall white shirt and black trousers. The simple color scheme showed him the calmness and dignity of a noble man. It perfectly outlined the proportions of wide shoulders and narrow waist, and his legs were too long.
The customized watch is worn casually on the wrist, and the platinum dial reflects the expensive cold silver light.
He had taken a shower and changed his clothes. He felt refreshed and did not look sleepy at all as he was still looking for something in the early hours of the morning.
After coming down and sitting across from the dining table, it was natural to be the same as before.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Lin Yuxi stared at him.
"When you're tired, let's take a rest." Zhou Yanjing's tone was casual and matter-of-fact. Mrs. Chen served him a bowl of porridge. He looked at the bowl of porridge that was meant to nourish a woman's health, without making any comments, and elegantly picked up the white porcelain porridge. Spoon to drink.
"Don't come here again." Lin Yuxi said, "Let Mrs. Chen pack up the things you didn't take and move them out as soon as possible."
It's really annoying to be kicked out early in the morning.
Zhou Yanjing scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and the spoon stopped in the air: "You are so anxious to drive me away, are you going to move in with new people?"
"none of your business."
"Who? Tan Yu?" Zhou Yanjing pulled his lips mockingly, "You two are making rapid progress. We have only completed the formalities a few days ago, and you are already in a relationship with him. Do you have a happy Christmas together?"
Lin Yuxi frowned: "I told you, it's none of your business."
If she didn't refute, that didn't mean she admitted it.
An unknown fire burned up, making Zhou Yanjing lose his appetite, and he threw the spoon back into the bowl.
"I asked you why you suddenly moved back. Is it because the house in Qiyue Mansion is too small for you to use?" He mumbled, "When did the Tan family become so shabby? They can't even afford a house, and they still want you to live back." The wedding room with my ex-husband.”
Lin Yuxi pushed the bowl away and stood up suddenly.
"Zhou Yanjing, take your things and get out, don't let me see you again!"
She picked up her coat and prepared to go out to work. Mrs. Chen stood aside at a loss: "Don't you want to eat? How about I pack it up for you and you can eat it on the way..."
"No need." Lin Yuxi said coldly, "You are the one he hired to work for him. It's useless for me to keep an eye on him. You can get out with him."
Tan Yu just sent her here, and Zhou Yanjing knew about it, so Mrs. Chen could only tip her off.
"I'm not..." Mrs. Chen wanted to explain, but Lin Yuxi had no intention of listening to her explanation.
She was so anxious that she turned to look at Zhou Yanjing, who was sitting at the dining table, his handsome face shrouded in dark clouds.
Lin Yuxi put on her shoes and went down the steps before turning back. She clicked on the code lock for a long time, trying to change the door code.
But this kind of lock has a clear operation process, and it has been a long time since she forgot the steps.
Seeing that she hadn't finished it for a long time, Zhou Yanjing said sarcastically: "Why, you don't know how to change it? Do you need me to teach you?"
Lin Yuxi stopped doing it and straightened up: "I'll come back to change it in the evening, and I'll throw away whatever you haven't taken with me then."
She left the house angrily, and Tan Yu's car just arrived.
Tan Yu looked at her expression: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yuxi straightened the expression on her face: "It's nothing. Actually, you didn't come to pick me up. Maybe I was just suspicious yesterday, which made you nervous along with me."
Tan Yu's kindness made her feel warm and hot at the same time, and she didn't know how to handle it properly.
At this time, she was truly grateful for his kind help, and it seemed too ignorant to refuse him blindly.
I'm also afraid that I won't be able to grasp that level, giving him the wrong signal, and ultimately hurting his feelings.
Tan Yu said seriously: "Yuxi, I don't think so. The sixth sense is a self-protection mechanism of human beings. Although it cannot be explained scientifically, you should not doubt it. It is better to be fake than to be real. Thank you even more for it.”
"Put another way, even if there was no one yesterday, but you felt scared, that environment was unsafe for you. What we should do is to give you adequate protection and ease your fear, rather than saying that you want to too much."
Since childhood, Lin Yuxi has been accused of being sensitive and "thinking too much". Putting aside everything else, Tan Yu is really a very good person.
"Thank you."
"I just did it from the perspective of a friend. It has nothing to do with anything else. Don't bear any burden on you." Tan Yu said, "You can think about it from another perspective. If Xingchen encounters the same situation, you will still protect her. Yes, right?"
Lin Yuxi laughed: "You are secretly changing the concept. You and Xingchen are different."
He didn't know whether it was because he was exposed on the spot, or because her clean and beautiful eyes when she smiled were so attractive, Tan Yu felt a little unnatural when she looked at him.
"Just treat it the same. Who told me that there is a debt collector in my house? Even if I don't want to come, Xingchen will not let me go. He knocked on the door early in the morning and woke me up, asking me to come and take you to work. I was afraid that you would be in danger alone, so I kicked you out without even eating breakfast."
Lin Yuxi was embarrassed, "Then... do you want to go in and eat something?"
There was food, but the atmosphere was just a little awkward.
Tan Yu casually glanced at a window on the second floor of the villa: "I don't have enough time today. I can just buy a cup of coffee on the way."
"Then I'll buy you coffee." Lin Yuxi said, "There is a shop near our hospital that sells delicious coffee. I often drink from that shop."
"Okay. I passed by when I picked up Xingchen last time, and I thought I would have a chance to taste it."
Tan Yu opened the car door and Lin Yuxi got in the car.
At the corner of the stairs, Zhou Yanjing stood behind the window, watching Tan Yu diligently and considerately close the car door for her and walk around from the front of the car to the driver's seat.
The car started and drove out of the yard.
Should have seen it earlier.
That day in the restaurant, Tan Yu looked at her.
She still blushes in front of others.
Why is it red? Tan Yu confessed to her at that time?
Zhou Yanjing tugged on his tie, the Windsor knot he had just tied was messed up, and his mood was worse than he imagined.
When did Tan Yu fall in love with her?
They had only met a few times.
The more I thought about it, the more stuffy my heart became.
He had brought Tan Yu to his house before. Did he lead a wolf into the house?
