Chapter 227 (1/2)

Outside the door sounded a dull knock on the door. Xiao Yuan put on a shower gel on his body, heard the voice, smoked his mouth, washed off the foam quickly with cold water, and pulled a bath towel around his waist, then he went out to the bathroom to open the door, and the voice outside was bigger. It was not like knocking, like an enemy entering the house.

”Come, come, who? The door is broken!” the drops of water on his hair fell in his eyes. He pulled a towel to wipe his hair before he opened the door.

When the door opened, he wiped it and said impatiently, ”you'd better have something urgent, or I...”

The threat in the back suddenly stopped. What came into his eyes was a snow-white and slender calf. Before he looked up along the leg, he heard the owner of the leg say, ”what else would you do?”

As soon as Xiao Yuan looked up, he saw Xia Jie's cold face, his upper body wrapped in a bath towel and his eyes narrowed. It seemed that he just woke up and rippled some colors. He was stunned and stammered: ”you... How did you...” when he realized that his tone was wrong, he coughed and looked at the wall on one side: ”why did you come here in this suit? What's up in the evening?”

Xia Jie directly pushed the door open, and the whole man slipped in like a loach.

Xiao Yuan was a little confused. She had closed the door with her backhand. Her nose sniffed gently and frowned: ”have you been drinking again?”

Xiao Yuan took a look at the door closed by her, and then took another look at Xia Jie, who was nothing different. He smoked at the corner of his mouth and said, ”I haven't drunk for a long time. I drank a little.”

Xia Jie turned around and looked around the room. His eyes finally fell on Xiao Yuan's naked upper body. His chest and abdominal muscles with clear barriers expanded slightly with his hair wiping action.

Xiao Yuan felt her sight and hurriedly said, ”wait a minute.”

He turned and got into the bathroom. When he came out, he put on a loose white T-shirt. His hair was still messy. He didn't take care of it. He poured Xia Jie a glass of water and said, ”sit down.”

Xia Jie took the water cup, drank two mouthfuls, sat on Xiao Yuan's bed and overlapped his legs without scruples. Xiao Yuan didn't dare to go there. After she drank the water, she said, ”what can I do for you?”

Xia Jie looked at him faintly, which almost made Xiao Yuan think he didn't wear anything and ran naked in front of her.

”I can't sleep. Come and talk to you.”

Xia Jie's reason was so far fetched that Xiao Yuan blurted out: ”you still can't sleep?”

Xia Jie took a smoke from the corner of his mouth and showed a particularly amiable smile on his expressionless face: ”am I no different from pig in President Xiao's eyes?”

”That's not...” Xiao Yuan has worked with her for many years. Looking at her smile, he knows that the meaning of this sentence is not kind at all. He quickly said: ”the pig is not as thin as you.”

Xia Jie was speechless. He stared at him for a long time before spitting out his breath and said, ”thank you, Mr. Xiao.”

Xiao Yuan felt like a huge wave surging through his heart. He had to try his best to maintain calm on his face and said, ”it's too late. Go back to your room and go to bed early.”

”It's only 9 o'clock. When is your work and rest time so abnormal?”

Xiao Yuan said nothing: ”this is the normal work and rest time, okay.”

Xia Jie said, ”really don't want to talk for a while?”

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and thought about it for a while. He didn't say a word. Xia Jie played with his fingers. The light was shining. It seemed intentional or unintentional to say, ”when can I come back to the army tomorrow?”

”I don't know. If you want to come back, you can come back anytime. If you have something to do.”

”Then what kind of situation is called something?” Xia Jie stood up and approached abruptly.

Xiao Yuan leaned back slightly, but her feet didn't move. She let her pick up her collar with her fingertips and said, ”Xia Jie, you're drunk.”

”How can I get drunk if I haven't touched the wine?” Xia Jie didn't think so. She got closer and closer. She seemed to have no bones. She wanted to gather on Xiao Yuan: ”Mr. Xiao, you're really heartless.”

Xiao Yuan swallowed his saliva. After a long time, he raised his hand and grabbed her small hand, saying, ”Xia Jie, pay attention, we... We've broken up.” he said something difficult, but his voice was very stable: ”you put it forward.”

This sentence seemed to touch some taboo. The original ambiguous atmosphere was swept away. Xia Jie's smiling face cooled down, returned to his previous expressionless face, and tightened his hand with his collar: ”so?”

”So do you know what you're doing now?”

”I'm very sober.” Xia Jie said. She loosened her hand and said faintly, ”Xiao Yuan, you think clearly. Is it really me who broke up?”

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, ”I don't want to talk about these past events. Go back and have a rest. I'm going to sleep.”

Xia Jie looked into his eyes and tried to find out what flaws were in them. Unfortunately, his eyes were very calm, and there was no trace of emotion. Xia Jie sighed. The sound of Qi seemed to blow to Xiao Yuan's heart. It was wrapped up a little, which made him difficult to breathe, but he didn't dare to move.

Xia Jie passed him, took a few steps towards the door and paused: ”Xiao Yuan, this is the last chance.”

She looked back, saw Xiao Yuan's back without movement, closed her eyes and opened them again, recovered her calm, turned her head and left quickly.

The hand hanging on his side tightened little by little, and his mind was full of Xia Jie's words.

One last chance

Xiao Yuan quickly turned around and ran after him.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Yuan was stunned. Xia Jie stood at the door and looked at him coldly.
