Zhou Jinyuan smiled and straightened up: "Go to sleep."
Chen Xixi didn’t relax until she saw Zhou Jinyuan sit back at his desk.
But for so reason, her heart was beating faster and faster. She wasn’t covered with a blanket this ti, so why was her heart still racing so quickly? Could it be that she was really about to have a heart condition?
Or could it possibly be... because it was the first ti she was sharing a room alone with a man?
Although she and Zhou Jinyuan had also lived together before, they had always slept in separate rooms. Sleeping in the sa room was a first.
And... this man sitting in front of the desk working seriously was really kind of handso.
After watching for a while, Chen Xixi withdrew her gaze, cald her emotions, and went to sleep. Before falling asleep, she covered herself tightly with her blanket, clearly very guarded.
But once she fell asleep, the blanket was rolled and pressed under her body. Zhou Jinyuan watched her ssy sleeping position and chuckled, then bent down and gently pulled out the blanket, tucking her in again.
...
The next morning when Chen Xixi woke up, Zhou Jinyuan was no longer in the room.
Because she had agreed to collect eggs with the wealthy Ms. Zhen today, she had set an alarm to wake up at six.
The weather was still misty at six, and it seed Boss Zhou had to go out to work for money before dawn just like ordinary folks.
She was just thinking this when a knock on the door sounded.
Chen Xixi straightened her clothes and went to open the door, finding the waiter delivering breakfast.
She thanked him and quickly got ready to eat.
As she sat at the table, she suddenly noticed there were two portions of breakfast. Did that an Zhou Jinyuan had not yet gone to work?
Where was he?
Chen Xixi was considering whether to call Zhou Jinyuan to hurry him up because getting the eggs was urgent – many seniors were lining up before dawn, and if they were late, they might miss out. It would be a wasted trip, and she couldn’t disappoint the wealthy Ms. Zhen!
After all, if Ms. Zhen had found her, she must trust her reputation as the Queen of Saving Money. She couldn’t tarnish her own brand!
But just as she picked up her phone, there was a noise at the door.
Zhou Jinyuan was dressed in a black T-shirt and sweatpants, with his damp black hair hanging over his brow.
It looked like he just ca back from a morning workout and had taken a shower.
Chen Xixi couldn’t help but praise: "President Zhou really has a lot of energy."
Before participating in the frugality variety show, she also had a very disciplined daily routine.
Her morning exercise consisted of running a hundred ters every morning to catch the bus, followed by warm-up exercises. She would jostle with fellow commuters on the subway, fully warming up, and then sprint the last hundred ters to punch in at the office!
Zhou Jinyuan’s lips curved slightly: "Well, I have no choice."
Chen Xixi noticed faint dark circles under Zhou Jinyuan’s eyes. She leaned in closer, examining his eyes attentively and asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well last night? Worked too late? Or had a nightmare?"
Zhou Jinyuan’s gaze fell as he looked at the woman approaching him.
She seed to have just woken up not long ago, her clear eyes as if misted with water, slightly red and dewy from drowsiness, appearing especially delicate and vulnerable.
The next second, a faint floral scent began to linger at his nostrils, making his expression pause, and his Adam’s apple bob.
After a two-second silence, Zhou Jinyuan extended a finger and pressed it against Chen Xixi’s forehead, forcing her to step back. He then placed his hands on her shoulders, turning her around, "I did dream, but it wasn’t a nightmare."
After Zhou Jinyuan answered, Chen Xixi’s head was still pondering what kind of dream it was if it wasn’t a nightmare.
But before she could figure it out, a strong masculine scent suddenly approached her ear, "Also, don’t look at a man like this in the morning."
His words seed to carry a particular implication.
Hot, as if it burnt her ear a little.
Chen Xixi was stunned for a mont before being pushed by Zhou Jinyuan to sit at the table.
After breakfast, Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan went out together.
As soon as they opened the door, they saw Ms. Zhen already waiting outside.
But instead of ’waiting’, they felt ’eavesdropping’ might be more appropriate.
The smile on Ms. Zhen’s face was unmistakable: "You’re up so early!"
Chen Xixi smiled obediently: "Didn’t we agree to collect eggs? I set an alarm."
Ms. Zhen smiled contentedly. This girl was reliable!
She liked her more and more!
She was also likable in appearance!
And most importantly, she was obedient, so much more capable than her own stubborn son!
