Chapter 21: Zhai Ye is back

"......" did not react.

It was still a little cold in April, and to make sure she was really asleep, the maid brought a blanket and covered her gently.

……

The dawn of dusk kicks off the night.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the window curtains, adding a touch of warmth to the coldness of the room.

In the hallway, the man stood tall, and as he stepped in, the coldness of the living room also rekindled.

"Master Zhai—" The servant was ready to greet him.

The man's long arm lifted slightly, stopping the maid from making a sound.

The inky eyes turned slightly, and landed on the sleeping face in the sofa.

The servant glanced at it, immediately understood, and silently stepped aside.

The man walked lightly with long legs and slowly came to the sofa.

Looking at the people on the sofa, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How do you sleep here?" The low voice exuded the coldness of abstinence, as if he was afraid of waking up the people in the sofa, and his tone was a little light.

The maid also whispered softly, and replied, "Miss Twilight doesn't want to go upstairs to rest. ”

As if hearing the sound of rustling in his ears, the sleeping man frowned slightly and opened his eyes from the sorrow.

What jumped into my eyes was a good-looking face, cold and abstinent, and I was so frightened that I sat up from the sofa in a frightening mood.

His presence was obviously a little startled to her, and his eyes crossed slightly.

Then he said, "Wake up." ”

Faced with the sudden appearance of the man, she was a little flustered for a while.

I turned my head to look out the window, only to realize that it was getting late.

It turned out that I was asleep, and before I knew it, it was getting dark.

She glanced at Zhai Nanci, her eyes were relatively unable to find a topic, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassed for a while.

She thought for a moment and found her voice back: "You...... It's back. ”

He had indeed just returned from abroad, but the tone, the phrase 'you're back', made him feel inexplicably happy.

replied, "Yes." ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then realized that her words seemed to be a bit ...... Obscure. Dark?

How did she make it look like she was waiting for him to come back?

In fact, it is true that she is waiting for him to come back.

Just by her question, the atmosphere changed.

Never mind.

She removed the blanket and got up from the couch.

Like a robot that fulfills its promises: "Let's eat!" ”

Zhai Nanci: "......"

"In such a hurry?"

She was stunned.

As soon as she said this, it seemed that she was really anxious to have dinner with him.

She hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that. ”

"Since I'm not in a hurry, then wait for me to go up and change my clothes."

After the man finished speaking, he walked straight in the direction of the stairs.

Twilight froze in place: "......"

Is she in a hurry, or is she not in a hurry?

Zhai Nanci went up this time, but he didn't come down for half an hour.

Twilight sat on the couch and watched the sky get later and later outside the window.

It's a secluded place, so if it's too late, I'm afraid it's even more inconvenient to leave, right?

Looking in the direction of the second floor, she looked a little anxious.

Finally, Zhai Nanci changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Fade. Going to a suit and leather shoes, he looks more approachable in loungewear.

However, it still comes with a chill.

The maid had already prepared dinner, Zhai Nanci glanced at her after coming down, and then walked towards the dining room in the opposite direction.

Twilight got up and followed, just wanting to finish eating and leave.

Dinner is Western, and the chef prepares red wine and steaks, all of which are exquisite.

Since the purpose of eating dinner was to fulfill his promise to thank him for saving his life, Twilight was naturally not pretentious, and picked up the knife and fork and cut it slowly.

The same is true of Zhai Nan's word movements.
