Chapter 153: Summer's Reply (6)
"Do you still want me?" Zhu Xia asked softly.
“Don’t ask such questions.”
He Lianzhou rested his hand against her forehead and said in a low voice, "What you should be thinking about is, do you want me?"
The man's breath sprayed on Zhu Xia's slightly red nose, like a burning flame, making her heart even hotter.
Her eyes were wet, and she stared at him without blinking, her voice was small but firm: "Yes."
He Lianzhou also looked at her, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of peach blossoms and spring water, calm, firm and shining.
His pupils were dark and clearly cold, but when he looked at her, they were inexplicably hot.
Zhu Xia's cheeks felt hot as she was stared at. She tilted her head slightly and gently touched his thin lips with her rosy lips. The warmth seemed to go straight from her lips to her heart... She moved away, but his lips caught up with hers and imprinted on her lips.
Zhu Xia wrapped her arms around the man's neck and raised her head to welcome his passionate kiss. When his lips touched hers, a tingling electric current spread from her mouth and rushed straight to her sensitive nerve endings. Her mind went blank, as if she had fallen out of time.
As soon as Zhu Xiafu lost her focus, the man sucked hard to bring her back to her senses. He kissed her more deeply, entangled and entangled again, gradually invading all her consciousness.
Zhu Xia's heart was beating very fast. A line of tears silently slid down her right eye, soaking it with a thin layer of water.
The neon lights briefly reflected into the carriage, illuminating her moist, trembling eyelashes and flashing wet tear marks.
When they were together, he had just taken over the group and they were rarely together, but she had no complaints.
At that time, she was sometimes even busier than him, busy running between school and the bar.
Despite the heavy workload and many experiments at school, she still finds time to perform in the bar every now and then, and even declared that she wants to make the bar the top one in London.
When I was in school, I focused on studying. After graduation, I worked hard.
Follow the rules, yet unorthodox.
Others' attitude of facing death with equanimity is lifeless, but hers is heroic.
He Lianzhou knew a long time ago that Zhu Xia was an extremely contradictory girl.
Her heart is as strong as a rock and she has wisdom beyond her age.
It looks like wild grass covered with frost, or like a brave and determined young eagle.
At the same time, she was born with a sense of brokenness, like the moon in the water, which made him dare not touch her.
The two completely opposite personalities in her did not seem strange, but instead made her more neither humble nor arrogant.
Her decision will not be easily swayed.
She wants him, which means she will never give up on him again.
For a long time, they did not move. Zhu Xia hugged the man's neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and suddenly remembered to ask: "Have you not eaten yet?"
She raised her head and tried to move away from him, but his large hand grabbed the back of her head and pushed her back.
"Isn't it a bit late to care whether I'm hungry now?" He Lianzhou whispered.
"You were angry with me just now, so I couldn't just open my mouth and ask you if you were hungry. It would seem ungentlemanly." Zhu Xia said, "If you are scolded, you should behave like you are being scolded. You can't hit me with a hammer here and a stick there."
"Did I scold you?" he asked.
"Yeah. You're very fierce. It's like you want to cut me into pieces. It's scary."
He smiled.
"The desserts and breads I bought are all at Crazy Man's. I should have brought some here earlier." Zhu Xia muttered and asked softly, "Do you want to go to Yangriju? I'll cook noodles for you."
"Tomato egg noodles?"
"Otherwise, what's the point of having noodles?"
"It tastes terrible." He said with a smile.
Zhu Xia was not convinced: "Over the years, my cooking skills have improved, and now the noodles I cook are much better than before. If you don't believe me, go ask Yueyue. Reporters have to look good on camera. Yueyue doesn't usually eat much, but she always eats up all the noodles I cook."
When in Boston, Lin Jiayue attended parties and got drunk, and after returning she would go to Zhu Xia's place for a meal.
Zhu Xia usually goes to the cafeteria to eat, and only cooks noodles when Lin Jiayue comes.
The two girls each held a bowl of noodles, eating and chatting at the same time, which was a rare leisure time.
Half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into Yangriju.
He Lianzhou held Zhu Xia's hand in the elevator. She moved her fingers gently in his palm. The man's hand was dry and warm. She slowly spread her five fingers and slipped into his fingers, so they became interlocked.
He Lianzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at her. Zhu Xia turned his head to look at the flashing floor buttons. She looked as if nothing had happened, and the corners of his lips could not help but slightly rise.
"Change your shoes."
Zhu Xia walked in and took a pair of men's slippers to He Lianzhou from the entrance. When she bent down to change her shoes, she heard him ask, "Whose shoes are these?"
"Li Baize's." Zhu Xia looked up at him, "He and Yueyue come to my place for dinner occasionally."
He Lianzhou nodded, not like he was angry. Zhu Xia just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard a man's voice in his ear: "Is the condom his too?"
"No..." Zhu Xia said, "It's just a tool that Yueliang uses to study whether there are any problems with condom manufacturers."
Tools cannot be wasted, so Lin Jiayue put some of them with Zhu Xia, saying that in case they might be needed, girls should learn to protect themselves.
He Lianzhou nodded, seeming satisfied with the answer.
Zhu Xia looked at his tall and straight back and placed her hand on her heart. Her heart, which had been beating wildly all night, finally calmed down a little and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Xia took a clean cup and poured a glass of warm water for He Lianzhou. She stood in front of him, looked at him silently for a few seconds, and said, "Go sit on the sofa in the living room first. I'll call you when I've cooked the noodles."
"Yeah." He Lianzhou agreed but did not move.
When Zhu Xia opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients, she looked back and saw the man standing there staring at her.
The most important thing about tomato and egg noodles is the soup base. Zhu Xia first stir-fries the eggs and sets them aside, then stir-fries the tomatoes, adds seasonings and water, and after the water boils, puts the noodles in, followed by the fried eggs.
The steps were orderly, concise and clear. He Lianzhou looked at her quietly for a moment and suddenly smiled.
There were two bowls of steaming noodles on the dining table, with the hot steam wafting in the air with its fragrant aroma. Zhu Xia clutched her chopsticks, turned her head to look at the man beside her, her eyes sparkling.
"How about it?"
"Improvement." He Lianzhou gave the answer she wanted to hear.
Zhu Xia's eyebrows curved, the bright starlight sprinkled on her face, and she was obviously in a good mood.
Maybe because she cried so much and consumed so much energy, Zhu Xia was hungry again after just filling her stomach not long ago. She lowered her head and started to eat.
As if suddenly remembering something, Zhu Xia said, "Oh, by the way. Your clothes are still here with me. When you leave later, remember to take those two coats with you."
He Lianzhou lightly lifted his eyelids, his gloomy eyes slowly fell on her delicate profile, and his voice was low and magnetic: "Don't you want me to stay overnight?"
