The Mid-Autumn Festival activities at the Oriental Ancient Charm City Amusement Park lasted for three days, with daytime and nighttime sessions each day. Lin Ji and his colleagues, as staff, had signed a three-day, six-session labor contract, with the park providing accommodation and three meals a day.
Therefore, after the night session ended at 9 PM, Lin Qiao and Su Zhengxing didn’t give them a ride home.
The location of Oriental Ancient Charm City is quite far from the old town where Lin Qiao lives, but it is less than half an hour’s drive from the villa area where Su Zhengxing lives. On their way back, a sudden rainstorm started, and the overpass was completely blocked. They had no choice but to change their route and go to Su Zhengxing’s house instead.
The light and flowing floral dress was fine during the day, but it became quite chilly at night. With the rain outside, the temperature had dropped by nearly ten degrees Celsius compared to the daytime.
“It’s so cold!”
Lin Qiao hugged her arms. As soon as she entered Su Zhengxing’s house, she couldn’t help but remove all the hairpins, ornaments, and silk flowers from her hair, wanting to quickly take a hot shower to warm herself up.
“Can I use your bathroom?”
She sniffed and pointed toward the guest rooms on the first floor.
Su Zhengxing casually grabbed a thin blanket from the sofa and wrapped it around her.
“That room’s bathroom hasn’t been used, and the shower might be broken. My bathroom has a bathtub and bathrobes, so you don’t catch a cold.”
“Okay.” Lin Qiao nodded.
“By the way, do you have glycerin at home?”
“Glycerin?” Su Zhengxing asked, puzzled.
“I was going to ask if you had any makeup remover, but it seems unlikely. Oh well, I’ll just wash my face with a facial cleanser a few more times.”
Lin Qiao tore off a tissue and wiped the lip gloss off her lips.
“I’ll go get you some hot water. You can soak upstairs for a while. I’ll go buy it later.”
Su Zhengxing reached out and wiped the lip gloss off her lips.
Lin Qiao looked at the heavy, pouring rain outside.
“But it’s raining so hard now. Should we call a delivery guy?”
Su Zhengxing patted her head: “It’s okay. The supermarket is very close. I’ll walk there quickly.”
After returning from the supermarket, Su Zhengxing left the makeup remover and slippers by the bathroom door on the second floor. While Lin Qiao was soaking in the bath, he went to the guest room on the first floor to take a shower. Sure enough, the showerhead was broken, so Su Zhengxing simply took a cold shower.
When Lin Qiao came downstairs after a comfortable half-hour soak, Su Zhengxing had changed into another set of black loungewear and was leaning against the sofa, holding a tablet, seemingly engrossed in something.
Lin Qiao crept over, circled behind him, and nudged him, trying to startle him.
Unexpectedly, he wasn’t frightened at all. He even pulled her off the sofa and into his arms, holding her horizontally.
Lin Qiao couldn’t find a hairdryer upstairs, so she dried her hair with a towel and came out directly. Her completely wet hair was a darker color than usual, and the jet-black hair made her features look even more striking.
Strands of hair, like fine needles, dripped water intermittently, swirling around her sparse bangs, revealing her fair and smooth face.
“What are you doing?”
Su Zhengxing held her, his hands slightly cool, asking knowingly.
Lin Qiao’s eyes darted around, refusing to admit anything, and her attitude was still arrogant.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“Then…you want me to do something?”
Su Zhengxing leaned closer, a smile playing on his lips.
Lin Qiao quickly pushed him away with both hands and covered his mouth, stammering, “I…I was just curious about what you were looking at!”
Su Zhengxing covered her hand with his and gently kissed her palm, then picked up the tablet beside his leg and showed it to her.
“Gao Ming sent me a new project proposal a few days ago and is waiting for my reply. After all, I’m his biggest investor.”
