“So delicious, I really want another glass!” The plum vinegar was almost gone, she was reluctant to drink it, smelling it repeatedly and swirling the glass to admire the orange-yellow liquid.
Ordinary vinegar is very sour, just smelling it makes one choke, but this plum vinegar was fragrant, with a mild sourness and a rich sweetness that left her wanting more.
Was it because of dilution? Probably not! How strange, could there be a special secret recipe?
Suddenly, her eyes lit up – if she could brew it herself, she might win his heart!
Hey, good idea, she’ll find a way to learn after the trip.
In the room, Feng Shaohao tossed and turned, feeling her scent lingering in the air, got up to open the floor-to-ceiling window to let air circulate, but the cool natural breeze couldn’t disperse the fragrance or wash away the memories swirling in his mind.
Lin Qianchu, born May 22, 1980…
He couldn’t sleep at all, so he simply recited all the game character information, yet still couldn’t fall asleep.
He got up and took out his notebook to record everything that just happened, ending with a cute little drawing – a little girl with a drop of blood on her delicate nose.
He looked and unconsciously revealed a smile.
Feng Shaohao’s morning swimming and running habits remained unchanged by travel. He got up on time to prepare for exercise, and unexpectedly saw the living room sofa empty when passing by.
She left? A sudden worry surged in his heart, but before he could process the feeling, he saw Lin Qianchu with messy hair climbing up from the floor, ungracefully yawning and lazily lying back on the sofa to sleep. Her sleeping skills were impressive – she could remain asleep even while swaying at the sofa’s edge, predictably about to fall off again.
Seeing this, he was about to walk to the gym, but just before reaching the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped. After hesitating, he turned back and carried her to the huge water bed in the room. If she fell again, there was nothing more he could do.
“Shaohao…” She seemed to be having a sweet dream, smiling like honey.
Her soft, charming voice tugged at his heartstrings. He paused, his gaze lingering on her delicate face, involuntarily reaching out to touch her.
Many girls had been fascinated by his coldness, yet disappointed and driven away by the same coldness, ultimately causing him to directly reject anyone’s proximity. But this time…
“I found Dugu Ao, it’s you, hehe!” Lin Qianchu’s cheek actively rubbed against his palm.
A tingling sensation spread from his palm to his heart. Suddenly realizing his impropriety, he quickly withdrew his hand and hurried out of the bedroom to exercise.
After sweating in the gym and swimming, he returned to the room at eight in the morning. Feeling refreshed, he leisurely ate breakfast and drank his daily plum vinegar when he heard a sound from the bedroom.
Lin Qianchu ruffled her messy hair, sitting blankly on the carpet, dazed for a moment before suddenly jumping up, “Wow! No way, I actually rolled from the sofa to here?”
She glanced at the door – silly! The door was always closed, how could she have rolled in? He must have carried her in.
Heh! Their distance was getting closer. She happily rolled around on the bed, hugging a pillow. His scent was here, how wonderful!
“Ah…” Playing too wildly, she accidentally fell off the bed.
Feng Shaohao heard her scream, pushed open the door to find her in an awkward position, head down and feet up, but didn’t offer help and immediately closed the door.
Though she knew his personality was cold, she couldn’t help muttering, “At least ask if I’m hurt.”
Her small complaint quickly subsided when she discovered her clothes had slipped – her oversized T-shirt had slid to her chin, and her low-rise shorts covered nothing. Oh no! Her underwear was exposed.
Alas! Not only had her gentleness and grace disappeared, but he had seen her in such a disheveled state. How tragic!
No matter, she was a natural beauty! She’d change into a stunning outfit, apply light makeup, and restore her elegant office demeanor to salvage the situation.
Lin Qianchu approached the mirror to tidy her clothes and hair, confident in herself – easier said than done. As soon as she walked out and saw the fragrant, colorful meal on the table, she forgot everything and reached for the creamy bread.
“Brush your teeth and wash your hands,” Feng Shaohao slapped her improper hand with a newspaper.
“Yes.” She quickly ran to wash her face and brush her teeth, soon returning to the dining table to eat heartily, then began eyeing the sweet and sour plum vinegar.
“Drooling.”
She asked, puzzled: “What’s drooling?”
“Saliva.” If she looked carefully, she’d notice a crack in his cool expression.
“Huh?” Lin Qianchu quickly wiped her mouth and grabbed her bag to enter the makeup room, never expecting him, so proper, to make a joke.
Seeing this, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, secretly thinking he’d draw a drooling baby that night.
Soon, she emerged with light makeup, appearing soft and charming, desperately trying to salvage her previous unsightly image. “Good morning, I’m finally fully awake. Hehe! I was quite disoriented earlier.”
“I’m leaving. You can stay here and contact your family,” he folded the newspaper and went to the bedroom to grab his backpack.
She barely maintained her composure before it instantly dissipated, “Ah! Disneyland. Oh no, I shouldn’t have overslept. Now I haven’t prepared anything yet.” She screamed and picked up the phone to dial, not taking her eyes off him, afraid he would disappear in the blink of an eye.
The phone rang for a long time with no answer. Lin Qianzhu was anxious and desperately pressed redial, watching him pick up his backpack. She quickly grabbed his sleeve, “Wait for me.”
“It’ll wrinkle,” Feng Shaohao gestured for her to let go.
Fortunately, it was a wireless phone. She followed his steps to the entrance, “Wait for me.”
“It’s late,” he replied briefly, already changing his shoes.
“Since it’s already late, a few more minutes won’t matter. Wait for me. It’s more fun with company,” she said, blocking the doorway.
“Not going there to play,” he gently pushed her aside.
Not just Disneyland in Japan, but amusement parks and gaming zones in countries around the world – he would definitely go, but not for fun. He just wanted to listen to people’s laughter and understand what they liked.
If she followed him, she would probably die of boredom and might even run away. How troublesome!
“Huh? Not going to play?” The phone finally connected, and her attention immediately shifted, “Hello! Little sister… Wow! He’s gone.”
A night of revelry, lovers exhausted and forgetting time and patrol duties, embracing each other on a soft bed and falling asleep.
The disturbing ringtone kept ringing. Ji Xie Sen finally woke up, “Oh no! It’s so late. Wake up, your phone is ringing.”
“Don’t mind it. I want to keep sleeping.” Sleeping so comfortably, Lin Keqin didn’t want to get up. Afraid he would leave, she wrapped her legs around his solid waist.
“No, we’ve already missed the meeting time.” He removed her legs and hurriedly got out of bed to dress. He could imagine what the supervisors would think when they didn’t show up.
Unable to hold onto him, she was unhappy, “Come back and keep me company.”
“Stop it, answer the phone,” he was already dressed and handed her the mobile phone.
“I don’t want to answer. Today, ignore everything and stay with me.” She threw the phone aside, wrapping her arms around his neck, wanting to seduce him back to bed.
“No, I must go to the CEO…” apologize. Ji Xie Sen looked at her and changed his words, “propose.”
Hearing this, Lin Keqin’s face lit up, kissing his cheek, “Sen, I knew you love me.”
