C93 (1/2)

Reading books instead of going online or to a bar in a ballroom was a good, healthy habit in the eyes of both sister Yang and her close helper, Little Zhao.

Just as Tang Xiaoyi was seriously reading, people began to board the plane one after another. One person sat at the seat beside her. He placed his briefcase on the small table and took out a book.

Tang Xiaoyi suddenly smelled a familiar smell that made all the nerve cells in her body tense and uneasy … Zhong Yuqing.

She was very sensitive to odors, so there was no mistaking the smell. Because she wore a hat and had her head lowered while reading, very few people noticed the quiet girl sitting by the window.

Her eyes moved slowly from the book to the side. First she saw that he was still in his well-groomed suit, which fit him perfectly.

Then there was the finger holding the book, a book in French. She didn't recognize the words, she only saw the finger, the joint was distinct, long and powerful, and above it was his firm chin, his graceful lines and thin moist lips, his high nose bridge, and then … That pair of black eyes looked at her with a faint smile.

”What a coincidence.” Zhong Yuqing smiled at the girl who was trying so hard to clean up her panic. ”You're going to Paris too?”

”Gu Dong.” Tang Xiaoyi nervously swallowed her saliva as her face suddenly flushed red. How could there be such a coincidence?

It was fine if they were in Paris together, but how could it be so coincidental when they were on the same plane, sitting next to each other and seriously suspecting that Zhong Yuqing's plane ticket was bought by his sister sheep?

However, thinking back, they had always been ”coincidental”. Being able to be rescued by him in places like Africa, it wasn't particularly coincidental for them to bump into each other on the plane.

”What a coincidence.” Tang Xiao Yi hastily turned her face. She had just taken off her makeup in the washroom, and now her face was the same delicate and pretty appearance as when she first met him. It was clear, clean, and faintly warm.

Zhong Yuqing hadn't seen her for many days. Ever since that night, she had hurt him by refusing. They seemed to be avoiding each other.

In addition, Tang Xiaoyi started to get busy again. It seemed that they hadn't seen each other for a whole ten days.

Ten days felt like a long time, but it also felt like time had stopped.

This was because there were no changes to Tang Xiao Ai's expression, including her shy and panicked expression and tone. It was simply impossible to imagine her acting in such a manner with the different types of celebrities in the newspapers and magazines … They were actually the same person.

”Are you busy these days?” Zhong Yuqing asked casually.

Privately, she was as still as a flower in the moonlight.

”Yes, very busy.” Tang Xiao Yi hugged her book as her heart pounded like thunder. Her chest felt like it was about to burst.

”I'm also very busy. I was supposed to attend some business activities with you, but I was delayed.” Zhong Yuqing could almost hear her heartbeat. His lips curled up into a smile that could captivate women.

”Oh …” Tang Xiao Ai was indeed a dull person. She rarely took the initiative to speak to others and only uttered a single sentence to Zhong Yuqing.

She could not help but think of that night. Although she could not remember the details, and could only vaguely remember a few details, it was enough to make her feel ashamed and remorseful enough to want to jump off the plane.

That night, all the memories of the past were completely overturned. Because she had experienced it too deeply, she had become numb to the fact that Zhong Yuqing had kissed her.

This was also the best part of Zhong Yuqing's beauty hunt. He would slowly nibble away at his opponent's indifference and defensiveness.

From the cold at the first welcoming party, to driving her to school, getting hurt for her, then being saved by Africa, sharing a bed with her but not touching her, then going to Hawaii and being drunk on the kiss, being injured by Shen Mo and being fed water … There was also the night of the Lantern Festival, which caused her to flirt crazily even further until she was drunk and was eaten up by herself once again. Now, Tang Xiaoyi had unknowingly been forced to accept his approach and intrusion step by step, but she didn't know when she was going.

Psychologically, it was almost like a frog in warm water.

If he threw her, this gentle little rabbit, into the boiling water, even if she was gentle and calm, she would jump out in fright, not daring to come close to him. But now, he, this frying pan, was slowly heating up and was already half boiling, it was already too late for the rabbit to jump out.

”Are you getting used to the new job?” Zhong Yuqing found a topic to chat with her, so he didn't mind her bored reaction.

”Not bad.” Tang Xiao Ai's every word was short and she felt her body heat up. That embarrassing night had become something she wanted to forget every day.

However, the more he wanted to forget, the more deeply he remembered.
