What Zhou Yi said was indeed Zheng Pianqing's idea. If it weren't for San San, she would definitely not go out with Zhou Yi alone.
But according to Zhou Yi's words, it seemed that he and she were going to "separately" from now on.
"Do you want to say that you take Sansan to play next, and I play by myself?" Zheng Pianqing asked.
"No." Zhou Yi denied it and explained to her, "I mean, if you don't want to see me, you can go to my sister-in-law to accompany you around. She also likes to see exhibitions. Maybe you can find something new. inspiration."
Children are not interested in some activities with adults. Sansan is not very interested in art exhibitions. He only cheers up when watching Zheng Pianqing's exhibition.
But Zheng Pianqing likes to see exhibitions very much.
"Oh, okay." Zheng Pianqing responded coldly.
——
Sansan was sleeping soundly. When they arrived at the prime minister's villa, Zheng Pianqian and Zhou Yi had a tacit understanding not to wake her up.
Zhou Yi took Sansan back to his home and sent her directly to the bedroom.
When Zhou Yi went downstairs, he met Zheng Pianqing in the living room.
Without Sansan, Zheng Pianying would still feel a little unnatural when the two of them were alone.
She looked towards the stairs, "Be careful on the way. I'll go up and check on Sansan. First..."
Before Zheng Pianqian finished speaking, Zhou Yi suddenly stood in front of her.
The distance between the two was so close that she could smell the scent of vetiver on him.
Zheng Pianqian was not used to such a distance and subconsciously wanted to step back, but was hugged tightly by Zhou Yi.
Zheng Pianqing had just taken off her coat and was only wearing a slim-fitting cashmere sweater. The size difference between the two of them was already quite large, and now that Zhou Yi was wearing a jacket, it was even more obvious.
Zhou Yi hugged him so tightly that Zheng Pianqian once had difficulty breathing. She put her hands on his shoulders, which was an instinctive resistance action.
Zhou Yi felt her resistance, but he didn't let go like before. His hand touched her waist. Through the layer of fabric, he remembered the all-too-familiar touch - probably because he had been abstinent for too long. Yes, when I saw her like this just now, I went crazy in an instant.
Zhou Yi moved his palm downwards against her waistline, and kissed the side of her neck with his lips, "Pianpian, can you let me hold you for a while?"
As he spoke, the hot breath blew against her ears. Goosebumps appeared on Zheng Pianqing's skin, and her breathing rate became a little faster.
Zheng Pianqing is no longer the ignorant little girl she was when she fell in love with him, but what she has experienced is nothing compared to Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi wants to flirt, she is no match.
"No." Zheng Pianqing took a deep breath, increased the strength on her hands, and pushed him hard, "Don't touch me."
"You don't object to me hugging you." Zhou Yi chuckled and squeezed her waist, "Isn't that right?"
"Zhou Yi."
"Would you like to try me again?" He lowered his voice a little, "It's free and you don't have to be responsible."
It is true that Zheng Pianqian's head is a little hot, but she is not unconscious at this stage, "If you don't try, if you don't let go, I will take Sansan back to New York tomorrow."
This sentence was like an ultimatum, and it successfully made Zhou Yi let go.
After he let go, Zheng Pianqing immediately took two steps back and kept a safe distance from him. However, due to her weak legs, she stumbled a little. After she stopped, she raised her hand to stroke her chest to breathe.
My breathing was rapid and my face was very hot.
"you……"
"Let's go." Zheng Pianqian once again ordered Zhou Yi to be kicked out.
This time, she didn't care about Zhou Yi's reply. She just left three words and turned and went upstairs.
——
Zheng Pianqing stood under the shower head and took a warm bath. She closed her eyes and remembered what Zhou Yi had just said when he held her.
She admitted that her heart skipped a beat after hearing it.
If she were in her early twenties, she would probably condemn herself for having such thoughts, but now she has learned to face her heart, and people are animals.
What's more, she has been surrounded by men over the years, and this gap period has been a bit long - her attention was previously focused on San San, and she was busy with work for several months, so she didn't notice this.
Tonight, Zhou Yi consciously flirted with her, and it was hard for her not to react at all.
Zheng Pianqing took this bath for almost half an hour.
After she dried herself and lay down on the bed, she habitually picked up her phone and received many photos from Mingyue.
These are some previous group photos of Sansan and Xiaozuo Xiaoyou, and there are also many solo photos of Sansan.
Zheng Pianqing saved every photo, then selected a photo of Sansan holding a snowball and laughing, and posted it on WeChat Moments.
Zheng Pianqing rarely posts in WeChat Moments, and almost never posts photos of Sansan in WeChat Moments. This is the first time.
Not long after this photo was posted, Zheng Pianqing received many comments and likes.
Qin Lie also ordered it.
After Zheng Pianqian saw Qin Lie's name, she was in a daze - Qin Lie sent a message on Sansan's last birthday. She had many things at hand at the time and forgot to reply to him.
Zheng Pianqing found the chat window and stared at the message sent by Qin Lie for a long time. Just when she was hesitating whether to apologize, Qin Lie sent another new message.
Qin Lie: [Did you take Sansan on a trip? 】
Zheng Pianqing: [Yes, in Beicheng. 】
She thought about it and explained after this sentence: [I forgot to reply to your message last time, I'm sorry. 】
Qin Lie: [It doesn’t matter. 】
After this message, he sent a positioning message.
Zheng Pianqing took a closer look and found that Qin Lie's location was a hotel in the center of Beicheng City.
Zheng Pianqing: [Are you also in Beicheng? 】
Qin Lie: [The company sent me here on a business trip. I didn’t expect you to be there too. Want to meet? 】
Zheng Pianqing looked at these words and pursed her lips. She didn't know what to say for a long time.
Qin Lie seemed to notice her worries and quickly sent another message: [I am still single now. 】
The meaning of this sentence is already very clear. With the tacit understanding between the two of them for so many years, Zheng Pianqian naturally knows what will happen when they meet.
Zheng Pianqing: [Why? 】
Qin Lie: [If you don’t meet the right person, you can’t give in when you get married. 】
Zheng Pianqing: [I have plans for tomorrow, and I’ll see you the day after tomorrow. 】
Qin Lie: [It’s okay if I pick you up. 】
Zheng Pianqian glanced at San San beside her and said, "No need." 】
Qin Lie: [What do you want to eat? I'll book a restaurant. 】
Zheng Pianqian chatted with Qin Lie for a while, and after setting a time to meet, she put down her phone and went to sleep.
Perhaps because Zhou Yi's hug stirred up memories of the past, when Zheng Pianqian dreamed that night, she dreamed of many scenes of her love affair with Zhou Yi.
——
When I woke up in the morning, the snow had stopped and it was a sunny day.
Zhou Yi was taking San San to visit the scenic spots today and came over early to pick her up.
After what happened last night, Zheng Pianqian felt uncomfortable everywhere when she saw Zhou Yi again.
After sending him away, Zheng Pianqing's heart returned to her stomach.
She sat on the sofa, caressing her chest and let out a long breath.
