Chapter 25: The Sneaky Hand Is Discovered
Li Chen reached out and grabbed Gu Yanxi's wrist, and slightly retracted her to bring her back to his side.
Originally, Gu Yanxi didn't stand firm, and she almost fell into Li Chen's arms. As soon as I got closer, I smelled the smell of the good-smelling shower gel on Li Chen's body, and the fragrance of the woody orange tone was very in line with Li Chen's strong temperament.
"I, I'm looking for something." Gu Yanxi was obviously panicked, and he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"I've got everything you have, where can I find it?" Li Chen naturally didn't believe Gu Yanxi's words, "Have you eaten at night?" β
"I didn't eat, but I ate a sandwich in the afternoon and I'm not hungry now." Gu Yanxi didn't answer Li Chen's first question, and directly ignored it, she knew that she couldn't fool him at all.
"Then go take a shower, not too long." Li Chen said that he didn't want to stay in the bathroom for more than an hour when Gu Yanxi first came, and he almost fainted from dehydration.
But it sounds particularly ambiguous to Gu Yanxi, obviously the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel at noon, why is the atmosphere so weird now?
"Oh." Gu Yanxi ran into the bathroom like a desperate escape, and after a few seconds, he ran out again, found loungeclothes and a change of clothes from the closet and took them in.
The operation of going back and forth for half a minute made Li Chen watch it lively for a long time, Gu Yanxi sometimes does not look as stable as usual, and he also has a childish side.
Li Chen lay down in the quilt, holding his mobile phone in one hand to read emails, and holding a teacup in the other hand and drinking the hot tea that Gu Yanxi ran by himself, so comfortable.
Wet casually rested on his full forehead, the delicate collarbone was exposed, like a bay, and the light shone on the droplets of water that fell from between the hairs and on the side of the collarbone, shining.
Gu Yanxi didn't come out immediately after taking a shower, but sat on the toilet lid for a long time, she waited for Li Chen to fall asleep before going out, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.
Calculating the time, Li Chen should have slept at this time, Gu Yanxi found a hair dryer to dry his hair, and then applied a nourishing hair oil before coming out of the bathroom.
After about an hour, Gu Yanxi walked out confidently, only to see Li Chen sitting on the bed with wide eyes and looking at her.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I'm waiting for you."
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Yanxi paused, her hands were unnaturally behind her back, and she twisted the edge of her home clothes hard, and it was estimated that she could tear the clothes apart with a little force.
"Come here." Li Chen tilted his head slightly and motioned for Gu Yanxi to get into bed.
Although Li Chen's bed is very large and can sleep three people, Gu Yanxi really doesn't dare to share the same bed. Li Chen hadn't slept in his room for half a month, either in the study or in the company, and suddenly came back to live Gu Yanxi was a little unaccustomed.
"Li Chen, when will my room be cleaned up? I can't always stay in your room, and I can move to a guest room......"
Gu Yanxi's voice became smaller and smaller, because Li Chen's gaze was getting colder and colder, and it was obvious that Li Chen didn't want Gu Yanxi to move away.
It wasn't the first time Gu Yanxi had asked this question, and even the housekeepers and servants in the manor were tired of answering.
"Xie Yu has been busy recently, and he will come to clean up your room when he is free." Li Chen found a good reason to perfunctory the past, and the few times Gu Yanxi asked him this set of rhetoric.
Obviously, Xie Yu didn't need to do it himself, and it was the same for him to tell others to do it, but everyone seemed to have received Li Chen's "entrustment" in advance, and no one was in a hurry, as if they deliberately let her live here.
Even Sister-in-law Zhang said that she couldn't do anything about it, and she didn't even give her the keys to other rooms.
Gu Yanxi still clearly remembers that when she first came, the other rooms in the manor were unlocked, why were they all locked after she moved to Li Chen's room???
Since there was no room for refusal, Gu Yanxi would only climb into bed slowly, and lay down cautiously against the edge of the bed, and the distance between him and Li Chen was completely enough to lie on two adult men.
Li Chen just smiled and didn't say anything when he saw that she was keeping a distance from herself, and then lay down as well.
"Tell me a story, it's too quiet."
In the past, Li Chen told stories to his sister Li Luo or Gu Yansi to sleep, and at that time he thought this thing was so naΓ―ve, but now he was a little curious about what it felt like to be coaxed to sleep, so he also asked Gu Yanxi to do it.
"Story?! Do you still listen to sleep stories before you go to bed? Gu Yanxi held back a smile and covered half of her face with a quilt, behind the quilt was a snickering face, but her crooked eyes still betrayed the fact that she was snickering.
"Laughing at what? It's okay to give it a try. After Li Chen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and found a comfortable position to prepare for sleep, as if he was enjoying himself.
Gu Yanxi couldn't help him, so he still opened the browser with his mobile phone and searched for a little bedtime story, and the search term was still "a complete collection of bedtime stories for my boyfriend".
As soon as she saw the three words of her boyfriend, Gu Yanxi smiled even more happily, but fortunately, Li Chen couldn't see her current "idiot" appearance with her eyes closed.
"On this day, the Dump Music opened, and Uncle Hippo stood in front of the Dump Le to greet the guests.
The little rabbit jumped and ran up.
Uncle Hippo smiled and said, 'Welcome Bunny, please come in, please come in.' β
Step by step, the little turtle crawled over.
Uncle Hippo smiled and said, "Welcome little turtle, please come in, please come in." ββ
Kangaroos, hedgehogs, squirrels, puppies, cats also came.
Uncle Hippo smiled and said, "Welcome, please come in, please come in." ββ
The little animals had such a great time.
It was raining heavily, and the animals couldn't go home.
What can I do?
The mother kangaroo came running.
'Come, children, and I'll take you home.' β
Uncle Hippo sent the critters to the door.
The animals said, 'Thank you, Uncle Hippo, goodbye, Uncle Hippo.' β
With that, one by one, they jumped into the pocket of the kangaroo mother.
The mother kangaroo sent the rabbits, turtles, hedgehogs, squirrels, puppies, and kittens home.
What about kangaroos?
It was left in Mom's pocket and fell asleep. β
Gu Yanxi's voice is delicate with a bit of demon, soft with a little charm, at first glance it sounds like the yellow warbler out of the valley, the kite cries and the phoenix sings, crisp and bright but tactful and soft.
Li Chen fell asleep, and Gu Yanxi's story was finished. I don't know how much he heard, probably because of the premise of the bedtime story, I feel that Li Chen sleeps very peacefully.
Breathing shallowly, one hand was casually resting on the pillow, and a shadow under the long eyelashes made Gu Yanxi unable to take his eyes off it.
Usually Gu Yanxi didn't dare to stare at Li Chen's face like this, not only would he be caught by Li Chen, but he would also be misunderstood, only when he was asleep, Gu Yanxi would dare to be so bold.
The last time he looked at him like this was when Gu Yanxi had a fever, the two of them interlocked their fingers, like an intimate couple.
Gu Yanxi didn't know what was wrong, the ghost envoy stretched out his hand and put it on Li Chen's hand, but he grabbed it violently and held it in his thick palm.
Suddenly, Gu Yanxi's heart skipped a beat, and she nervously wanted to pull it out, but she didn't expect Li Chen to grasp it tighter and tighter.
"If you want to touch it, touch it generously, don't move, I'm so tired." Li Chen suddenly opened his mouth to speak, his thin lips slightly opened, his voice was not very clear, and he could hear it vaguely.
Isn't he asleep?
Why did you suddenly speak?
Could it be that he was pretending to be asleep just now?
How can there be such a person who fishes for law enforcement!
Or was he just woken up by his own bump?
Gu Yanxi's nervous palms were sweating at this time, and she really didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing Li Chen's rest, so she let him grab her hand.
But now it's only six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, how can Gu Yanxi be able to sleep, she didn't dare to make a big move when her hand was held, so she had to maintain this position. The other free hand touched the phone, first adjusted the mute mode, and then clicked on the comic software to find a random comic to kill time.
Sure enough, reading comics had a hypnotic effect, Gu Yanxi fell asleep after watching it for less than an hour, and fell asleep directly after putting down his phone.
Early the next morning.
Li Chen got up early to wash, and after a night of sharing the same bed, the distance between the two became smaller and smaller. Gu Yanxi was like an insecure kitten, she slept until midnight and pasted herself, or maybe the temperature of the air conditioner in the bedroom was relatively low, she seemed to treat Li Chen as a baby for warmth, and a pair of little feet stretched obliquely to his legs, sticking to his legs to keep warm.
Gu Yanxi was very childish when she slept, pouting and breathing very quickly, as if she had a particularly physically demanding dream, I don't know if she was also telling stories in her dream.
Since Li Chen did not deal with business yesterday afternoon, he must go to the company early today to complete the work owed yesterday, so as to ensure the smooth progress of today's work.
This is also the reason why Gu Yanxi didn't see Li Chen next to her after waking up, when she first woke up, she thought that it was the same as before, Li Chen slept in the study or company, and after waking up for a long time, she remembered that they slept together yesterday.
I don't know if she woke up Li Chen, who was sleeping in a single position, when she was sleeping.
When Gu Yanxi, who had finished washing, went downstairs, Aunt Zhang had already put breakfast on the table.
"Aunt Zhang, morning!"
Gu Yanxi was rare to be relaxed today, and greeted Aunt Zhang with a smile on her face, and Aunt Zhang was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
In the past, Gu Yanxi just nodded lightly with her.
"Sir, let's go to the company first, come and have breakfast. Today there are gold and silver steamed buns, preserved egg and lean pork porridge, fried buns, dried steamed shrimp, oh, and soy milk! β
"It's so hearty, why is it all Chinese food today?"
Gu Yanxi was pulled to the dining table by Aunt Zhang and sat down, looking at the table full of sumptuous breakfasts, she couldn't take her eyes off it, and she didn't know which one to taste first for a while.
Gu Yanxi didn't know much about Chinese breakfast, and most of the people on the table today were something she hadn't eaten.
"The gentleman got up early and ordered the kitchen, and this has just been done." Aunt Zhang smiled ambiguously, she now felt that Li Chen had become very spoiled by Gu Yanxi, and there must be something between the two of them that she didn't know.
"Didn't Li Chen eat breakfast? Yesterday he only had lunch and drank wine, why didn't he eat breakfast today, how could his stomach stand it like this!? β
"The gentleman didn't eat, he left in a hurry, so he ordered these snacks and told the kitchen to leave."
Gu Yanxi frowned slightly after hearing this, her main worry was that he would definitely be very busy today and would not have time to eat, and he would either not sleep enough or eat enough every day, should he really be young?
"Aunt Zhang, you help me pack a breakfast for two, and I'll send it to Li Chen."
