Chapter 19(1/2)
As the heat continued to gush as he spoke, Chu Ning turned her head unconsciously, and her entire back was leaning against the door frame to support her before she could barely stand firm.
She took a deep breath, looked at him again, and explained blankly: "I don't know you're taking a shower."
She thought someone was in the bedroom, but she just planned to come in and go to the bathroom, but she didn't expect that he was inside.
She said it was inconvenient for men and women to live in the same room!
"And—" Chu Ning thought about it and added calmly, "I think it's actually nothing attractive for you to take a bath. After all, it's not a rare species."
“…”
"And." She swallowed, opened her eyes, pointed her index finger at his chest, "The contract says that while you live here, your clothes cannot be exposed. You are breach of contract!"
The momentum gradually recovered, and Chu Ning looked at him again, "But I think you are the first offender, so forget it this time, please pay attention to it next time."
After saying that, he didn't look at Qin Xi's reaction. He pushed the person away without saying a word, rushed into the bathroom, and closed the door.
Qin Xi was stunned for two seconds, and Yu Guang glanced in the direction of the bathroom, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
When Chu Ning came out of the bathroom, she found Qin Xi sitting on the sofa in the living room. The TV was turned on. It was a science and education channel, and a documentary was being broadcast.
She originally planned to go upstairs directly, but suddenly she remembered that her computer was still on the coffee table.
These two days, Qin Xi was on a business trip, and Chu Ning has been like usual, like sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of the sofa to work.
She stayed up late last night and wrote a manuscript for a while. Later, she felt sleepy and went upstairs to sleep, but she didn't take the computer.
The steps towards the stairs turned back. She thought Qin Xi did not exist, so she bent down before going to the coffee table to close the notebook, sorted the documents next to her and put them on the notebook, and picked them up together.
Qin Xi leaned on the sofa and watched the TV, and suddenly said, "Have you eaten?"
Chu Ning heard the reputation passed.
Qin Xi was still staring at the TV, and after a while, he moved his eyes away from the screen.
He put down the remote control in his hand and stood up: "I'll go fry steak. If you eat it, don't go upstairs, so as to save you a little while and you'll have to call you, and you'll have to worry."
He didn't look at her, and after that, he went straight into the kitchen.
Chu Ning didn't think anything at first, but when he said that he felt hungry, he suddenly surged.
She licked her lower lip with her tongue, and she put down the laptop she had picked up again.
Since he went to the kitchen, she might as well continue writing in the living room.
The notebook was opened again, she pulled the cushion and placed it on the floor, sat down cross-legged, leaning her back against the edge of the sofa, and soon entered work.
There is something bad about the open kitchen, that is, it is that it has a little fragrance and can easily float into people's nose.
Not long after Chu Ning sat down, wisps of garlic scent came over, accompanied by the sound of hot oil, which made the internal organs start to clamor.
Not long after, the fresh fragrance of the steak began to spread over.
Sniffing her nose twice, she swallowed her saliva, tilted her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
Qin Xi was very tall and was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. She looked a little different from the usual self-pride and self-contained look in a suit, as if she was a little approachable.
But it's just an illusion.
His facial expression was always tense, and he was very serious even when cooking.
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at this side.
Chu Ning's heart thumped, she quickly turned around and sat upright, pretending to be nothing happened to continue working.
In the kitchen, Qin Xi saw Chu Ning writing a serious manuscript. He withdrew his gaze, silently clicked on the video on his mobile phone, looked at the placing tutorial inside, and followed suit.
After success, he took a photo of his masterpiece with his cell phone.
I feel quite talented.
He took the fried steak to the dining table, took off his apron, and shouted at Chu Ning in front of the sofa.
Seeing her sitting on the ground, he frowned almost invisibly without saying a word.
Chu Ning washed her hands and walked over, picked up her plate and left.
Qin Xi looked at her back: "Is your dining table a decoration?"
Chu Ning had already sat down on the ground again and placed the plate on the coffee table: "Yes, furnishing."
Qin Xi: “…”
Looking at the steak on the plate, Chu Ning couldn't wait to cut a piece of it. It was very tender and fragrant.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you so busy and still able to cook?"
Qin Xi sat alone at the dining table, with a heavy face, and deserved to be absent-minded: "Talent."
The topic ended here, and Chu Ning didn't speak anymore.
After dinner, Chu Ning still carried her laptop upstairs.
The space alone is finally much more relaxed and comfortable.
In the evening, she received a urging from Meng Qingyou and Shao Xintong, saying that they had arrived at Jiang Yin's house and asked her when she would arrive.
Chu Ning looked at the time, replied to them, put on some makeup and got down from the upper floor, ready to go out.
Qin Xi happened to be at the door, wearing a black windshield jacket, bent down and put on shoes while making a phone call, and said in a casual tone: "What's the hurry? It'll be here later, you guys play first."
After hanging up the phone, I looked sideways and saw Chu Ning coming with her bag, but she didn't say anything and went out the door first.
When Chu Ning changed her shoes, Qin Xi was still waiting for the elevator.
The elevator's prompt light is facing downward, and now it is on the sixth floor, and Chu Ning's place is on the seventh floor, which means that the elevator has just been down from this floor.
Chu Ning was curious and asked him actively: "You didn't catch up just now?"
Qin Xi responded casually, with no expression on his cold face, and exuded an aura of being unable to approach anyone.
Chu Ning simply didn't look for any more topics and stared at the numbers jumping on the elevator.
After coming out of the elevator, Chu Ning went to the garage. Qin Xi was on the same road with her, and she was standing side by side with her.
Watch her walk to her car and open the door.
Qin Xi's mind flashed through the morning at the airport and saw a young man sitting in her passenger seat while talking and laughing.
He touched the car key in his pocket, paused for two seconds, put it back, and shouted to Chu Ning: "Hey!"
Chu Ning looked back at him and was a little confused.
Qin Xi said: "Can you take me to a place?"
Chu Ning pointed to the cool Bugatti next to him: "You don't have a car."
"The car key is there in Han Xun, and I only remember it now."
“…”
Chu Ning looked at the time and was a little reluctant: "Where are you going, I still have something to do."
"Not far from here, Lin Fangting."
Lin Fangting is a famous luxury villa area in Changguan. Jiang Yin’s new home is there, and she was going to come there.
Unexpectedly, it was quite smooth. Chu Ning felt relieved: "I happened to go there too, so you can get in the car."
Qin Xi glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions. She opened the door and sat in the co-pilot.
The car drove out of Xinglan Bay, and this point happened to meet the peak and the road was congested.
While walking, Chu Ning's cell phone ringing rang, and she was not convenient for her to answer, so she said to Qin Xi on the passenger seat: "Help me answer, thank you."
Qin Xi picked up her cell phone, scanned the note "Shao Xintong" above, clicked on the link and brought the phone over.
Before Chu Ning could speak, Shao Xinhui's voice came from over there: "Sister, have you arrived? My sister asked me to ask you."
Qin Xi's eyelids twitched slightly, and his eyes glanced at the notes on the screen of his phone, and looked at Chu Ning again.
"It's on the road, it's a bit congested." Chu Ning looked at the road ahead and replied casually.
"Will I pick you up?"
"No, you guys play first, I'll be there later."
"That's fine, then you can slow down on the road, be careful--"
Qin Xi stared at the screen of the phone in her hand, put her thumb on the red button, and hung up.
He looked up at Chu Ning, his eyes locked on his side: "Sorry, my hand slipped."
Turning left ahead, Chu Ning only looked at the road, but she didn't realize that Qin Xi hung up before Shao Xinhui finished speaking, so she didn't care: "It's okay."
Qin Xi put his phone back to his original position, pondered the conversation just now, and asked casually: "When did you have a younger brother?"
Chu Ning explained: "The younger brother of a college roommate."
After saying that, she remembered the agreement that she would not interfere with her private life, and there was no need for her to explain it to him.
Qin Xi didn't ask anything else, turned his head and looked out the window, and the two of them fell silent again.
Driving to Lin Fangting's door, Qin Xi opened the door.
Han Xun, who was waiting on the side, saw this scene and smiled and spoke with a hint: "Brother Xi is amazing. You have only moved for a few days and have developed so quickly. Chu Ning has come to see you off!"
Qin Xi was too lazy to answer his words, Yu Guang looked back and walked into the community.
Chu Ning's car couldn't enter the community, so she called Jiang Yin and asked her to come out to pick it up, so she successfully drove the car in.
The spacious and bright villa was carefully decorated, with smoky gray printed carpets all over the floor, and crystal chandeliers hanging above their heads, reflecting the interior like daylight.
But there is no one in the living room now, it is deserted.
Jiang Yin explained: "They are all in the backyard. In the afternoon, a few of Yin Sui's friends came over and made barbecue at the back on a whim. Later, I thought, I might as well eat outside, the place is spacious and the view is good."
She said, taking Chu Ning's arm to walk into the yard.
The yard is indeed quite small, with an open-air swimming pool with unknown flowers and plants planted nearby. Walking back, there is a green lawn.
The lawn was covered with red carpets, decorated with starlights and flowers, and a group of people surrounded them with music playing around them. The atmosphere was full of lively and like a large party.
