At noon, there was no one in the apartment elevator. After the door slowly closed, the atmosphere in the elevator instantly became much more ambiguous.
Zhou Yi took a step in front of Zheng Pianqing, his peach blossom eyes locked tightly on her face. His eyes seemed to have hooks, and they were entangled with hers.
Zhou Yi didn't make any movement on his hands, but just by looking at each other like this, Zheng Pianqing could clearly feel the increase in her heart rate.
Excitement from the cerebral cortex and sensory impact.
Zheng Pianqing glanced at the elevator's LCD screen with her peripheral vision. It was now the 19th floor.
soon.
Ding.
After about twenty seconds, the elevator finally stopped.
The door opened slowly, and Zhou Yi finally looked away. He walked to the door and placed his hand on the edge of the elevator door habitually, letting Zheng Pianqing go out first.
Zheng Pianqian walked out of the elevator with calm breathing.
Soon, the two came to the door of the apartment. Zhou Yi opened the door and let Zheng Pianqing in first.
It wasn't Zheng Pianqing's first time here, but she still couldn't feel at ease after entering the living room. Her heartbeat hadn't calmed down yet, so she just stood at the door, staring at the island table opposite in a daze.
Until his ankle was held by someone.
Zheng Pianqian came back to her senses and lowered her head to see Zhou Yizheng squatting at her feet to change her slippers. Zheng Pianqian said subconsciously: "I can do it myself."
"This is part of the service." As she spoke, Zhou Yi took off her high heels and put on slippers.
But his hand was still squeezing her ankle, and he didn't get up. He squatted on the ground, raised his head, and looked straight at her like he was in the elevator.
In Zheng Pianqing's memory, Zhou Yi rarely looked at her from such an angle. The height difference between the two of them was not small. Most of the time, he had to lower his head to see her.
Perhaps because of the change in angle, Zhou Yi's eyes looked extremely pious. Zheng Pianqing was not used to being looked at. When she was about to remind him to stand up, Zhou Yi suddenly stood up and came to her lips to kiss her. Take a bite.
His arms skillfully wrapped around her waist and lifted her up. He kissed her lips downwards and landed on her chin, pecking her repeatedly, "Shall I take a bath for you first?"
"Hmm..." Zheng Pianqing's breathing was unsteady, and it was difficult to make a nasal sound.
After getting permission, Zhou Yi picked her up, lowered his head and kissed her forehead before taking a step forward.
Zheng Pianqing was already confused before entering the bathroom, and her thoughts were even more confused after entering. Zhou Yi often bathed her before, and usually if two people entered the bathroom together, they would not be able to escape what would happen.
But today he really just gave her a bath. However, for Zheng Pianqing, this was even more uncomfortable than coming directly.
After taking a bath, Zheng Pianqing had no strength at all. Zhou Yi dried her body and carried her out with a towel around her.
But the destination is not the bedroom, but the living room downstairs.
Zheng Pianqing felt him going down the stairs and reluctantly opened her eyes, "Why..."
"Wouldn't it be nice to find something new?" He said with a smile, "No need to ask for a reason, just be responsible and enjoy it."
——
In late autumn in New York, the twilight is like gold.
Golden light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise apartment, dyeing every corner of the living room a layer of gold.
On the dark gray sofa, Zheng Pian Ting was lying on her back with her chin supported by her hands. She was covered with a white blanket, and her exposed shoulders were reflected in the twilight light.
She looked out through the large floor-to-ceiling windows and could see the sunset and the intertwined high-rise buildings.
Zheng Pianqing had not yet been able to extract herself from the aftertaste, her mind was blank, and she looked at the scenery dullly, with no time to appreciate it.
"Drink some water." When Zheng Pianqing was in a daze, there was an extra pair of hands on her shoulders.
Before she could respond, Zhou Yi had already helped her up and brought the water glass to her mouth.
Zheng Pianqing was very thirsty, her lips were dry, and her throat was hoarse. She instinctively opened her mouth to drink a few water and licked her lips with her tongue.
Feel much better.
"Ajiu called, and he has received Sansan now." Zhou Yi said, "You have a good rest, I will take you back later."
Zheng Pianqing stopped and looked at him.
"Don't worry, I didn't talk nonsense." Zhou Yi saw through her thoughts at a glance, "We are going to work."
Zheng Pianqian still trusted Zhou Yi's ability and ability to lie. After getting his answer, she no longer worried.
"What time is it?" She glanced out the window. The sunset was gradually fading, and it was almost dark.
It seemed to be only about half past one when she and Zhou Yi came back.
Unknowingly, so much time has passed.
"It's six o'clock." Zhou Yi joked casually, "You are so awesome, I won't be able to find anyone else in the future~"
Zheng Pianqing: "..."
Zhou Yi: "You let me know a brand new you."
His eyes wandered around her ambiguously, and he said with a smile: "It's a surprise, like a black hole, sucking me in so much that I can't extricate myself."
Zheng Pianqing frowned at his description.
Maybe it was because Zhou Yi's image in her heart was so dissolute that she had other meanings when hearing these words.
"Where are you thinking?" Zhou Yi pinched her nose and looked at her helplessly, "I never noticed before that you have quite a lot of messy thoughts in your mind."
Zheng Pianqing: "Otherwise, how could I be deceived by you?"
Zheng Pianqian blurted out these words without any thought.
Zhou Yi obviously didn't expect that she would say this, so the surroundings suddenly fell into silence.
This silence also made Zheng Pianqing sober up. When she realized what she had said, she immediately felt regretful.
That sentence ruined the atmosphere and was not suitable for their current relationship.
"Pretend I didn't say anything." Zheng Pianqing took the initiative to break the silence.
"I don't mind you saying that." Zhou Yi explained the reason for the silence to her, "I'm just a little surprised that you would make such a joke with me."
Zheng Pianqing: "I won't open it again in the future."
Zhou Yi stared at her with burning eyes, "Can I still deceive your feelings now?"
Zheng Pianqing didn't answer, but lifted the blanket on her body to get dressed.
Zhou Yi read her rejection of this topic and stopped as soon as it was good. He didn't want to ruin this rare atmosphere.
Zhou Yi picked up the clothes next to him and put them on for her himself.
While buttoning his underwear, Zhou Yi glanced at the island, "Why don't you have dinner with me before going back?"
"No need." Zheng Pianqing refused, "I'll go back to accompany Sansan."
Because of the conversation just now, Zheng Pianqian's speaking attitude returned to its usual coldness.
The contrast between Zhou Yi's mood before and after was a bit big, and he sighed silently.
It is indeed a ruthless transactional relationship.
After Zheng Pianqing changed her clothes, she went to the bathroom on the first floor to tidy up her hair. When she came out, she went straight to the shoe cabinet.
Zhou Yi followed Zheng Pianqing out of the apartment and opened the car door for her.
The car drove for five minutes, and Zheng Pianqing didn't even speak.
Quite the opposite of how she looked in bed in the afternoon.
If Zhou Yi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to imagine that Zheng Pianqian could turn against her so quickly.
