"Who was that just now?" Angel leaned in and asked, not ntioning that she had secretly been taking photos.
"Ah," the sudden female voice from behind brought Wang Jian back to his senses. "A friend I grew up with."
Angel’s eyes lit up. "Is he from your village, too? Can I interview him?"
"Interview?"
"Yes. You know, like those interview segnts in docuntaries. I’d interview your friend to learn about your childhood. It might co in handy. What do you think, is that okay?" The footage might not be used, but if Wang Jian really shone in the docuntary, it could be used for a special feature later. This was definitely a good idea. However, Angel knew that whether she could film this still depended on Wang Jian’s willingness. That wasn’t all. The video content from the clinic also required Wang Jian’s permission before they could use it.
Wang Jian nodded. "I don’t mind. You can ask him about it, but you should be quick. He’s moving out of town soon."
"Okay."
While they were chatting, Cai Qiong woke up in bed.
She had been the one to initiate it last night. After all, she was just an ordinary person, and it had been a long ti for her. Her body was a bit overwheld. Cai Qiong grimaced in pain, but a silly smile soon spread across her face. If Cai Xing and Cai Wenji saw this expression, they would be utterly startled. They had only seen such an expression on her face during her school days.
That stupid man, he doesn’t even know how to be gentle.
Cai Qiong stared at the ceiling, feeling drained, as if she hadn’t slept at all. But right after cursing, her face flushed slightly because she had dread last night. A third person had even appeared in her dream. She vaguely rembered the silhouette of a woman. Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed.
Could it be that I like won as well as n now?
If Wang Jian knew even a fraction of her thoughts, he would surely point at her and scold her for being the epito of the pot calling the kettle black.
Cai Qiong didn’t care about any of that. Taking advantage of her remaining drowsiness, she buried her face in the sheets and took several deep breaths, an expression of deep pleasure on her face. It was as if... as if Wang Jian’s scent was still on the bed.
Speaking of which, Cai Qiong rembered sothing else: Wang Jian’s scent was particularly pleasant, especially after he had been sweating from exercise. It was different from the disgusting male body odor described in so novels; his was a truly refreshing fragrance that captivated the heart. No perfu could compare. Cai Qiong really liked that scent. Recalling it now felt like an addiction, making her desperately want to sll him again.
The mont this thought erged, Cai Qiong touched her cheek and found it slightly hot. She then quietly closed her eyes and began to rest. As for what she was thinking, only she knew.
Cai Qiong rested in bed for quite a while. She stretched lazily and got up from under the blanket only after hearing people starting to clean up outside. Her room wasn’t very sunny, but so sunlight still managed to filter in, illuminating her fair skin like a sumr landscape.
After showering, Cai Qiong wrapped herself in a towel and walked over to her bedside to check her phone, still drying her damp hair.
"Eh? Angel’s already here?"
The first ssage that popped up was from Angel; they had actually been chatting yesterday. But then Wang Jian had arrived, and prioritizing romance over friendship, she had ignored her phone. She didn’t expect to see a ssage from Angel as soon as she turned it on.
She checked the ti...
Good heavens!
Around eleven o’clock last night, after she’d stopped looking at her phone, Angel had continued to send ssages for a while. Then, around two or three in the morning, she had sent several more, followed by a ssage from Paigou Village around six a.m. It was her first ti as a team leader. Perhaps due to nerves or being in a new environnt, the poor girl had suffered from insomnia last night.
Seeing Angel’s ssages, Cai Qiong shook her head and smiled indulgently. She then tapped furiously on her phone, "Sorry, darling, I fell asleep last night. I’m also in Paigou Village..."
Just as she was about to send it, Cai Qiong paused, a realization dawning on her.
Oh boy. If Angel found out I was staying with Wang Jian, who knew what kind of ’wonderful’ misunderstanding that might cause.
Although she had been intimate with Wang Jian, they hadn’t actually defined their relationship. If Angel misunderstood and word got back to Xu Qian...
That would be just wonderful!
Cai Qiong’s fingers flew as she furiously hit the delete key, ignoring the drops of water that trickled from her hair down onto her chest. Luckily, she reacted quickly.
Cai Qiong typed a new ssage: "Darling, sorry about that, I fell asleep last night! I’ll co see you when I’m free!!!"
CLICK. ssage sent!
Looking at the text, Cai Qiong felt completely satisfied, sure that it wouldn’t cause any misunderstandings. Even if she ran into Angel in the village, she could just say she had co to see her.
Perfect!
What Cai Qiong didn’t know was that just as she was joyously drying off, planning to go cuddle with Xu Qian, Wang Jian was leading Angel and Huang Long toward their house. They were simply going to see if Wang Jian’s place had any scenery worth filming. Angel happened to receive Cai Qiong’s ssage while she was discussing this very thing with Wang Jian.
Xu Qian had also noticed Cai Qiong’s strange behavior. As a very perceptive woman who spent every day stuck to Cai Qiong, she was quite familiar with her friend’s state. Seeing Cai Qiong’s radiant face today, she couldn’t help but tease, "You didn’t... you know... last night, did you?"
"Do what?" Cai Qiong froze, but seeing the sly smile on Xu Qian’s face, she instantly understood. "Sis, what are you talking about! Stop making things up!"
Her embarrassnt quickly turned to fear. Cai Qiong thought Xu Qian had discovered sothing... but then ca Xu Qian’s next words.
"Don’t be shy. For us won, there’s nothing shaful about taking care of ourselves. It’s a normal physiological need. You’ve even been to the United Kingdom, why are you still so bashful?" Xu Qian nudged Cai Qiong with her body, laughing. "I hear they’re very open about that sort of thing overseas. Aren’t your views a bit outdated?"
Cai Qiong rolled her eyes. "Well..."
She really didn’t know how to respond. She couldn’t say that wasn’t it, as she had no other explanation. But Xu Qian’s reasoning was so on point that she couldn’t bring herself to admit it, as it was still sowhat embarrassing. The truth was, she hadn’t been with anyone for a very long ti and felt like a withered tree welcoming spring, completely refreshed and invigorated. She didn’t need Xu Qian to point it out; she could feel it herself.
At that mont, her only option was to find an excuse. "I went to bed early last night and woke up late today. I just slept really well, so it’s normal for to look so refreshed."
"Really?" Xu Qian’s teasing expression didn’t change.
"Really, really, really."
Cai Qiong hastily insisted, and Xu Qian finally let her off the hook.
"Alright, I believe you. I was just joking with you. You’re too cute..." Xu Qian laughed and pointed to the kitchen. "Go help fetch sothing from the kitchen."
Cai Qiong imdiately begged for rcy and fled.
But before she could even reach the kitchen, a group of people walked through the small courtyard’s gate.
Wang Jian had arrived with Angel and Huang Long, running straight into Cai Qiong.
"Cai Qiong?!"
"Angel?!"
