“There’s only instant noodles in the fridge, it’s not good for your health if you eat too much. I’ll make you some porridge, it’s also better to digest at night. It will be good for breakfast in the morning.” She rambled in the kitchen, the sound of boiling water and washing rice against the sound of the voice, the voice is clear and pleasant.
Turning back, he inadvertently bumped into his bottomless eyes. The darkness and loneliness in the vision was too late to collect, so Zoey’s heart could not help but tighten.
Seemingly not expecting her to look back, Jerry Xiao froze for a moment and quickly moved his eyes away from her, simply humming out a low word: “Hmm.”
Zoey looked at him and felt a little bit of discomfort.
This man, in front of her always a look of indifference with thorns, which will make her automatically ignore that he actually has a vulnerable time.
The last episode of the disease, and this time the unconscious flow of vulnerable emotions …
“Go sit in the hall for a while, it takes a little time to make the porridge.” She spoke, her tone becoming more and more gentle.
He then didn’t say anything, just turned around and walked away.
Looking at his back, Zoey’s eyes were deep, and it took a long time to turn back.
Put the porridge on the fire, and open the refrigerator. Looking at the only two eggs in the empty refrigerator, the heart diffused a slight heartache.
Jerry…
Jerry…
In the past, how did he live his life alone?
Skillfully frying the two eggs until they were nice and tender, she put them on a plate with satisfaction.
…
Perhaps it was the wine that came up, or maybe the smell of the kitchen and the swaying figure was too good to be true.
Listening, smelling and watching, his heart surprisingly became more peaceful than ever. Comfortably leaning himself back on the sofa, he gently closed his eyes and relaxed.
…
When Zoey came out with the eggs, she saw him like this. Peaceful, serene, she couldn’t help but be moved.
The corners of the lips, subconsciously curved up an arc. Smile, slowly diffuse into the eyes.
Zoey carefully put the omelette down, content with the warmth of the moment. Like he stole it himself, so careful that he didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.
Looked around before pushing open a door and trying to find a blanket for him.
Pushing open, surprisingly, was his bedroom.
The scent that came to her was all his, more or less making her heart beat unbearably. The entire room is a light gray shade, bed sheets, carpet, wallpaper, nothing is understated.
Zoey, as if she could see him lying or lying on his back in this big bed, smiled happily and lifted the sheets off the bed and held them in her arms with satisfaction.
He was about to turn around and go out when his eyes were caught by an open box on the bedside table.
What is that pure white shimmering pearl? It looks familiar …
The heart, can not stop jumping. In that instant, she only dared to stare in awe, and was surprisingly hesitant to go forward to confirm. She was afraid she would be disappointed …
But, in the end, I still walked over. The moment I saw it clearly, my heart, shaking so much, my hand was loose, the quilt fell to the ground she was unaware of it.
It was really the pearl earrings she left in the hotel room that night! He found it? But why did he keep it until now?
Will …
In fact, that night, for him, there was a hint of staying? A hint of something special? Perhaps, in some midnight dream, he also remembered?
…
“What are you doing?” Zoey was startled, and in the next instant, she subconsciously put the earrings into her pocket.
She admitted that she didn’t have the courage to ask him why he left it behind, let alone tell him that it was herself who slept next to him that night.
“Why did you move my blanket? You’re going to sleep here?” He glanced at her, and then bent his head to look at the sheets that had fallen to the floor, with derision in his eyes.
“No.” Zoey forced herself to calm down. Took a deep breath before turning to face him.
Explanation: “You just fell asleep, I was worried about you catching a cold, so I took the quilt to cover you up.”
Jerry Xiao’s heart beat. He didn’t say anything, but just looked at her with sunken eyes. She is obviously weak, her eyes wavering everywhere, just afraid to look directly at him.
He suddenly got a little annoyed. After a moment of contemplation, he fished her to his body, and with a tiger’s mouth than, he lifted her lower jaw up, so that she met his eyes.
“Zoey Baker, you care about me too much!” There seemed to be a few contradictions and struggles in his tone. Yes, it was a contradiction. He didn’t know whether to pretend he didn’t know anything and let her continue this concern, or to make it clear and break off this ambiguity completely!
This woman obviously has a boyfriend, yet she is endlessly attentive to herself!
The most abominable thing is that he is increasingly unable to resist, and even has a tendency to indulge in it – it really disturbs his heart!
“I …”, he said, leaving Zoey stumped for a moment.
She also knew that her concern for him had long exceeded the feelings of a subordinate for his boss. She also wanted to try to restrain, but, very often, she herself simply have no control!
She pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids and spoke softly, “I just want you to have a better life …”
“You still like me?”
He is not a fool, for this matter of feelings, he is even more not a wood. Or rather, she was so obvious that it was hard for him to ignore it!
Jerry Xiao’s question was so direct that Zoey’s heart trembled and she could only stare at him dumbfounded for a long time.
Such silence, in his opinion, is undoubtedly acquiescence.
He browbeaten, a bent head, suddenly took Zoey’s lightly trembling lips.
Zoey was stunned, shaking her head and subconsciously pushed him, he did not let go, but a force, her entire body was held down by him brutally on the cabinet behind her.
The backbone is pressed against the cold cupboard, and the violently undulating forehead is pressed against his firm and hot chest. A few times under the tangle of pushing, her shirt buttons broke open a few, messy to reveal a deep cleavage, tempting or full force.
His kiss, however, was as cold as ice and came on fiercely.
But even so, Zoey was instantly compelled by his intimidating scent.
====
For this man, she, has never had any resistance …
Jerry Xiao had to admit that her confused look was enough to drive every man crazy. Including, he was no exception!
====
But he suddenly smiled, stopped his hand and spoke slowly against Zoey’s ear: “Secretary Baker, do you react this strongly to every man touching you?”
====
She froze on the cupboard door like a fool who had been toyed with again, and looked pale into Jerry Xiao’s eyes, which were covered with mockery and contempt.
So, just now he did all that, not the intention to be confused, not to mention the love is difficult to control, but … only for this moment of humiliation?
Yes! He had warned her that he would never fall in love with himself! He had also told her that he disliked her with all his heart!
It’s always been her own foolishness to come up, let him rub round and squeeze flat just!
Under the heart, a chill.
Zoey only felt a circle of sourness at the tip of her nose, but at this moment, she did not allow herself to shed tears, and only pushed Jerry Xiao, squeezed out a smile as easily as possible, and said, “No need to bother the president. Mr. Xiao probably forgot that I have a boyfriend.”
The implication is that when you are hungry and thirsty, you can find another man instead of him?
Jerry Xiao sank his eyes. Her slender shoulders brushed past and he suddenly shot out and yanked her arm, “Zoey Baker, is that your preference?”
“What?” She looked at him uncomprehendingly.
“Cheating!” He looked at her with contempt, “When you were with my brother before marriage, you stepped on two boats. Now you’ve got a man, but you’re trying to be nice to me! Do you really need two men to satisfy you?”
The previous how to indulge in that she brought warmth, now, his heart will be more repulsive. Between them, there should not have been a single heartbeat!
His rebuke made Zoey’s heart sink. Sucking in her nose, she stubbornly drew back her thin arm from his hand and shot back in a wounded voice: “Isn’t Mr. Xiao also good at stepping on two boats? Since you’re with Sunny, please don’t kiss people casually in the future!”
He snickered, “But you enjoyed the kiss!”
This is an irrefutable fact.
Zoey felt so stupid! The last time he kissed her because of his familiar scent, she should have woken up. This time, she didn’t know how to fall into the trap again and let him humiliate her.
Can not blame him, only blame themselves too stupid, too stupid!
Instead of continuing, he turned to leave.
In the hall, the scent of porridge lingered in the air. Instead of going back into the kitchen, she pulled open the door and left at a lopsided trot.
The cold wind blew, and the corners of the eyes were moistened.
Leaning helplessly under the bus stop sign, I slowly squatted down and held the pearl earrings firmly in my hand.
The sharp needle, piercing into the flesh, hurt so much that Zoey almost shed a tear.
Jerry…
Why always have to be so cruel to her, so unforgiving? If so, why still keep this earring, making her reverie uncontrollable?
…
After Zoey left, the large house was completely quiet again. Only the scent of porridge wafting in the air constantly reminded him that she had existed.
Step to the kitchen and look at the fire leaping from the stove. He sank his steps over and lifted the lid off the pot.
He cursed as his fingers were burned and threw the lid away in annoyance. The pale clanging sound in the darkness of the night, in front of his eyes is actually Zoey that obviously hurt but stubborn little face, the heart is more restless.
“Damn!” He’s really possessed!
Solely turn off the fire, brought the porridge and categorically poured it into the sink.
It’s all over! Peace!
…
That night, Zoey came home disoriented. By the time he arrived home, the house was quiet. I guess everyone had gone to bed!
She didn’t even turn on the light in the hall and planned to go straight into the bedroom. A voice, however, suddenly stopped her: “Zoey!
