Under the night, his side, still silhouetted. The hair is slightly wet, falling on half of the cheeks, not a bit of wreckage, but looks more sexy.
In the smoky haze, it looked more and more handsome and upright, making her heart flutter.
This man, every time, can make her look obsessed.
From the past, to the present …
“What are you looking at?” He seemed to notice and suddenly turned his face sideways, his eyes colliding with hers.
Like a bad thing, caught red-handed, Zoey froze for a moment and hurriedly looked away, her white face flushed for a moment before changing the subject: “We’re just going to keep going like this?”
Jerry Xiao looked out into the distance. The whole mountain was now so dark that almost nothing could be seen.
Only a few farms not far away still have faint lights on.
The rain is also getting heavier, and if we go on, it will only get worse.
“We can’t go any further down, let’s go there.” Jerry Xiao made a snap decision and took Zoey by the hand and ran in stride.
The land he is comparing is a farming family.
They ran past hand in hand, it was already pouring rain, even with an umbrella, but still badly drenched all over. Sukiyu Fangfangxi.
The owners of the farmhouse are a couple of elderly people living together with their two young grandchildren.
Jerry Xiao put away the umbrella, led Zoey in and asked, “Uncle, is there a car here to go down the mountain?”
“It’s already this time of the day, the car has already left.” The old man was still eating his dinner, waving his chopsticks in his bowl, “We all know that there is a big rainstorm tonight, who still wants to run the night ah? Early to close work and go home.”
They, trapped!
Zoey looked at Jerry Xiao and he thought for a moment, “Uncle, do you have two more rooms available here? We would like to stay here for the night.”
Obviously, this is the only way to go nowadays.
The old man is a kind-hearted person, “We have two rooms at home, one for our two in-laws and one for the two grandchildren. If you don’t mind, you can stay in the grandson’s room. They will just squeeze in with us.”
One room? She and Jerry sleep together?
Zoey’s jaw drops.
“That’s really a lot of trouble for Uncle.” Does Jerry Xiao mean … to stay here?
…
The room here is very simple, but the uncle purposely cleaned up a little, also considered clean and tidy.
The room was small, and Zoey fit inside, but Jerry Xiao was tall, and once he came in, the room seemed crowded, making it difficult for Zoey to even breathe.
She stood on the edge of the bed, not daring to move. Such an atmosphere made her feel inexplicably rushed.
Jerry Xiao looked at her with a calm demeanor, while taking off his soaked shirt, and said indifferently, “Let’s stay here for tonight.”
The toned body shines with a sexy sheen in the orange light.
Zoey didn’t dare to look up and just said, “I’ll take it to the wash for you and hang it out to dry for the morning.”
He didn’t hesitate to toss the shirt into her hands.
Zoey grabbed her shirt and ran like hell to the backyard to get some water.
Zoey tried several times, but she couldn’t get any water out, so she didn’t give up, she used both hands, gritted her teeth, and stubbornly fought with the heavy guy.
Jerry Xiao stood under the awning in the backyard and watched the scene.
Only a faint layer of light haloed in her body, blurred, can not see her look clearly. But the stubborn and defiant look, but very clearly reflected in his pupils.
She seems to have changed a lot in the past few years …
Jerry Xiao vaguely remembers how soft she was when she came to the Xiao Family after the wedding five years ago, humiliated by herself and not knowing how to fight back, and now Zoey Baker is simply a world away.
Now she seems to have added some toughness to her bones.
A few times down, Zoey nasal tip emerged a thin layer of thin sweat, fine eyebrows wrinkled, Jerry Xiao looked away, actually felt particularly cute.
…
Tried several times, the palm of the hand was rubbed red, a basin of water is not full.
Suddenly …
A tall shadow covered down and enveloped Zoey as a whole. The small hand was covered by a pair of large palms, only a slight carry, the pump was smoothly pressed down, a steady stream of clear water came out.
His firm chest was pressed against her slender back and Zoey could almost hear his strong heartbeat.
The heat in her palm burned the tip of her nose with sweat. Subconsciously licking her lips, her breath was a little tighter as she spoke, “Why did you come out?”
“Feel free to walk around.” His magnetic voice was just above her head and it was nice to hear.
When the water was full, he finally let go of her and stepped back.
Zoey only felt her breathing smoother and moved a step to the side. Squatting down, he soaked his shirt in the basin before looking up, “Go in first, it’s pretty cold out. You’re not wearing anything, be careful of catching a cold.”
Jerry Xiao glanced at her, and there was a very obvious concern in her eyes.
He didn’t say anything, turned around and went inside.
Looking at the back of the departure, Zoey pursed her lips and smiled lightly. I can’t believe I’m still feeling lost!
Shaking his head, trying to shake off this emotion, but he actually turned back again. The mist of the night, his smooth and perfect lines set off more and more clearly, looking even more upright, enough to make people’s blood boil.
It’s simply tempting to walk out like that.
Zoey’s mind wandered. Only to see that he had approached himself and handed her a small bench in his hand, “Sit down.”
She sat down as she was told, and he followed suit.
Jerry Xiao, with his long hands and long feet, sits on a small bench, reluctantly, and looks strange.
Zoey couldn’t help but laugh, rubbing her shirt as she asked with concern, “Are you cold?”
“I’m not that weak.” Probably, in her eyes, she is a sick person.
Jerry Xiao parted his legs, bent his elbows, rested on his knees, glanced at her, and suddenly asked, “Zoey Baker, do you still have friends with WIID?”
Zoey’s hand, rubbing her shirt, lurched. A hint of panic crossed under his eyes, “Why do you ask?”
Could it be that he knows something?
Zoey’s heart was pounding. I wonder if Nabi will mention the kids to him.
Jerry Xiao keenly did not overlook her weakness and stared at her closely, “Really?”
“No, no!” She immediately looked up, her head shaking like a rattle.
He frowned, “Last time, in which pharmacy did you buy me the medicine? If I remember correctly, this kind of prescription drug pharmacy simply will not be sold to you. Unless …”
He paused, his eyes tightening, “You have a prescription?”
“No!” She shook her head. The more he looked at her, the more she felt weak, and lowered her head to look like she was seriously washing clothes before saying, “I bought it at the pharmacy next door to our house. You know, I know the people there quite well, and I begged them for a few favors, so of course they sold it.”
“Really?” Jerry Xiao was half-hearted.
“Really!” She only dared to nod her head down, afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, before adding, “Why would I lie to you?”
Jerry Xiao pondered, looked at Zoey twice, did not make a sound, and did not know whether he believed or not.
…
For a long time, two people did not make a sound again. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the wind is blowing the big trees whirring, like a beast out of the cage general terror, let people chill.
As usual, Zoey was a bit frightened. But at the moment, it feels reassuring as hell.
Just because …
The presence of a person around you.
When that photo was exposed in the newspaper, Zoey thought that the relationship between them would always be that of a superior and a subordinate, but she didn’t expect to be trapped here together tonight …
At this moment, Jerry Xiao’s eyes follow Zoey’s figure. She has already washed her clothes, wrung them out, and went to hang them on the lanyard under the awning.
As he was busy, Zoey’s cell phone suddenly rang in the room.
Zoey’s hands were still dripping with water, so she looked to Jerry Xiao for help. they seemed to have a tacit understanding, and before Zoey could say anything, with just a glance, he had already gotten up and gone to the room.
…
Jerry Xiao fished her phone from the bed, and the name displayed on the screen made him narrow his eyes, and his eyes darkened a bit.
Baby?
Is it Lucas Wang?
They are, now, together?
“Who is it?” Zoey dried her hands and came in from outside. Looking over at Jerry Xiao, he noticed that he looked very pale.
Zoey’s heart ‘thumped’ at the sudden thought of the baby, only to see him hand over the phone, his thin lips pursed tightly, “Your baby!”
Four words, hard, like stones popping out of your teeth.
Zoey was shocked.
Sure enough, it’s the kids.
Not bothering to explain, he hurriedly held the phone and avoided him to go out and listen to the call.
I guess the children, who couldn’t wait for her to come home, thought she had been taken away by wolf dogs again.
…
Looking at her evasive appearance, Jerry Xiao only thought she was shy. He felt so depressed that he sat down on the bed and turned on the TV to watch.
But still annoyed, kicked the slippers and lay down on the bed. Took the remote control and kept switching stations.
She and Lucas Wang are now boyfriend and girlfriend? But isn’t Lucas Wang already divorced?
This woman, all this can be disregarded?
…
Zoey is carefully talking to the kids, patiently explaining why she can’t go back tonight, and looking back into the room every now and then in case Jerry Xiao walks out and overhears them.
Vain as a thief.
As I was talking to KK, I heard a depressing call from the inside: “Zoey Baker, have you had enough of talking?!”
Zoey tried to cover the phone, but it was too late, and KK’s sharp ears heard it all at once.
“Zoey , you’re lying.”
“I … mommy company to engage in activities, there will certainly be male colleagues. He is the ordinary colleagues la.”
“But his voice, I think it’s very familiar!” KK has always been shrewd, “It’s obviously the uncle I saw last time!” . No? You can even tell that!
“Yes …” she could only admit stiffly, “He’s Zoey’s boss, so of course he’s coming along.”
“Yeah?” KK crossed her little legs and sat on the bed, “Just listened to the voice of the uncle, seems very upset Zoey you answer the phone Oh. Zoey , you are in love, is not it?”
“Hey, Zoey, are you in love? Then I want to fall in love too!” Nini heard her brother’s words and shouted over there, “Zoey , Nini wants to fall in love with the class president! He’s even better looking than KK!”
“Little nymphomaniac!” KK disgustedly pushed away his sister who had come together.
Zoey was in a cold sweat over here, rushing to put the two kids to bed. The two kids were only hung up after the coaxing, and when they returned to the room, Jerry Xiao was staring at the TV with an ugly look on his face.
Lie down on the bed with one hand behind your head.
Knowing that he hadn’t noticed anything, Zoey asked him, “What did you just call me for?”
Jerry Xiao just glanced at her, pressed the remote control, and the TV turned off with a “pop”.
“I’m going to sleep.” He didn’t bother to look at her again, just turned his back and pulled the quilt over his body and slept.
Zoey stared at the back, not really knowing what to do.
