The last day of February.

At noon, in the kitchen of Dongtai's apartment, Jiang Luosheng was stirring dark chocolate while listening to the news on the TV in the living room.

In the case of sodium cyanide poisoning with indiscriminate poisoning gimmicks, the victim's psychiatrist, Ms. Zhao, has been arrested by the police as a suspect.

Jiang Luosheng poured the stirred dark chocolate into the grinder and froze it in the refrigerator.

She was now increasingly confused about her actions.

Once upon a time, her actions were all in the service of profit. This time, it's just for the emotions. She was very happy, because Xiao Qi was not a murderer, and because after Pangu and Olinna cooperated, they were slowly back on track. She wanted to make him chocolate herself while she was okay this afternoon.

Five o'clock in the evening. The sunset is light and gentle, spreading a layer of non-aggressive red on the horizon.

Diagonally opposite the gate of Pangu Technology, Jiang Luosheng leaned on a telephone pole, carrying a small bag in his hand, and was lowering his head and kicking the pebbles at his feet.

Xiao Qi said that they would leave work early today.

The bright laughter and laughter came from far and near, and it could be heard that it was a few young men and women.

As soon as Jiang Luosheng raised his head, he saw several familiar faces, all of whom were from the technical department.

The two most conspicuous people are Xiao Qi, who walked in the middle, and Shen Lingshu, who was beside him.

Jiang Luosheng watched as the sunlight gently sprinkled on Xiao Qi's body, softening his edges and corners. He wore a dark gray coat with open buttons, a black shirt underneath, and two buttons on his chest.

His three-dimensional side face, deep eye sockets, and high nose bridge look particularly soft in the setting sun. The lips, which usually have no curvature, seem to be slightly curled today.

Jiang Luosheng's heart beat sluggishly.

"Let's celebrate today! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! Cheng Baizhou said loudly.

Shen Lingshu smiled beside Xiao Qi and said something. The breeze gently ruffled the ends of her hair, and every step she took was graceful, calm and intellectual, and her smile was clean, too beautiful to speak.

Only such beauty is worthy of Xiao Qi.

When the dust on the outside settles, that's when the inner turmoil really begins.

Jiang Luosheng didn't realize when the seed of inferiority complex in his heart was planted. But if you are not careful, the seeds have already taken root and sprouted, breaking through the cracks, growing crookedly, but they are destined to melt into any lush greenery.

It has always been Shen Lingshu who has accompanied Xiao Qi, waving his flag and shouting for him and accompanying him to fight on the battlefield.

She couldn't give Xiao Qi anything.

Xiao Qi turned his gaze to this side, and at a glance saw Jiang Luosheng, leaning on the telephone pole, standing in the sun, smiling at him.

Each strand of her hair was dyed with golden tenderness. She is the most beautiful painting in the world.

Xiao Qi turned around and walked towards her.

"Where are you going?" Cheng Baizhou was puzzled, but when he looked at Xiao Qi's gaze, he suddenly realized, "Oh, my sister-in-law is here!" ”

Jiang Luosheng smiled politely at them, "Long time no see." ”

Shen Lingshu looked away.

"Are you going to eat with us and sing?" Cheng Baizhou invited her, "The Pangu crisis is over, and we are planning to celebrate it." ”

Jiang Luosheng looked at Xiao Qi and pursed his lips.

Xiao Qi looked directly into Jiang Luosheng's eyes. His eyes reflected the sun.

"Nope." He answered for her, reaching out to clasp the back of her head, not looking away, "We're going to live in a two-person world." ”

Jiang Luosheng only knew that in the next second, she heard a noisy commotion and her own drum-like heartbeat, but she couldn't tell which one was louder.

Near the riverfront, an antique sailboat converted into a water-view restaurant docked at the riverside pier.

The night breeze blew gently, and the heating on the sailboat burned so much that it didn't feel cold at all.

"Cheers!" Jiang Luosheng raised his glass.

"Cheers." Xiao Qi clinked glasses with her.

The two sat side by side at a long table next to the boat, serving oysters with champagne and the night breeze with river views.

On the sailboat, the candlelight is swaying softly, and the music is playing ThinkingOutLoud.

"Congratulations on leading Pangu through the great crisis." Jiang Luosheng paused, "Congratulations to Jiang Qingyuan's case for finally ending." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Qi looked at the river, his eyes dark.

Jiang Luosheng drank all the wine in the cup, took out the champagne that had been drunk more than half of it from the ice bucket, and refilled it.

The river breeze is blowing, and the feeling of being slightly drunk is very pleasant.

Jiang Luosheng said all kinds of things that are available and are not. Xiao Qi will respond to her, basically "um" or "good".

"I really want to go skiing." Jiang Luosheng looked up at the few stars in the sky, "Then look at the stars at night." ”

Xiao Qi didn't respond with a single word this time, "Not this weekend." Next weekend. ”

Jiang Luosheng didn't expect that his drunken thoughts would get a serious response. She raised an eyebrow, "You're going to take me?" ”

"Take you."

"You're so gentle." Jiang Luosheng raised his head and drank the wine in the cup again, "Director Xiao, you are so gentle, the girls around you will fall in love with you." ”

Xiao Qi actually heard the grievances in her tone. He turned his head to look at her to refill the drink, "Drink less." ”

"Don't." Jiang Luosheng refused, "I haven't been so happy for a long time." ”

"Beware of headaches."

"If you have a headache, you can coax me." Jiang Luosheng pouted at him, and the fawn's eyes were blurry starlight.

Xiao Qi likes to look at the stars in her eyes the most, and he likes every one. The snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and starry sky are less than one ten-thousandth of the one in her eyes.

He moved his throat and threw his head back to drink the wine from his glass.

Jiang Luosheng took out a piece of chocolate made by himself from the small bag, "Taste my craftsmanship." I've been doing this for a long time. ”

Xiao Qi was about to bite the chocolate away from her outstretched hand.

Jiang Luosheng suddenly withdrew his hand, his red lips opened slightly, and he gently bit the chocolate. Then, she just looked at Xiao Qi like this, and slowly stepped forward, her voice mischievous, "One and a half." ”

Xiao Qi's eyes sank, looking at her ruddy face and misty eyes, he slowly leaned over and bit the other half of the chocolate.

Then, the teeth are gently pressed.

The chocolate broke from the middle, and then it broke, and Xiao Qi's reason.

He instantly clasped the back of Jiang Luosheng's head, who was about to sit back in his place, and his voice was hoarse, "If I can't help it, what should I do?" ”

Jiang Luosheng hooked his lips and smiled, "I can't help it, don't bear it." ”

The strings that have been tightened for too long will be broken with a "click" when they are poked gently.

Xiao Qi felt that his reason was free, and watched himself settle the bill, get into a taxi with the slightly drunk Jiang Luosheng, go back to Dongtai's apartment, get on the elevator, and go home.

The moment the door closed, there was no need for his sanity to exist.

From the door to the sofa in the living room, the clothes of the two were messy all over the floor.

Jiang Luosheng felt burned by his hot skin.

He held the back of his head.

Locked by the lust in his eyes, there is nowhere to escape.

He was pressed against the couch.

She closed her eyes, frowned, and heard the screeching sound of snow in her brain again.

Her temples jumped suddenly, and she was in pain, and she didn't know if it was because she had drunk too much.

She felt Xiao Qi's hand run down her chest, slipping down her waistline and then down to her hips.

"Don't ......," she murmured.

Xiao Qi stopped, trying to restrain his chaotic breathing.

Jiang Luosheng opened his eyes and looked at him. The next second, she stretched out her arms around him, pressed him towards herself, and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, not giving him time to put out the fire.

The fire ignited in an instant.

Jiang Luosheng felt his temperature more and more clearly, the contours of his muscles, and the distance between them getting closer and closer.

"No......" Jiang Luosheng suddenly let go of his lips, struggling violently, pleading, "No, please......"

She was so scared.

Xiao Qi immediately stopped, but his heavy and low breathing did not.

In the darkness, he could clearly feel that the person in his arms was trembling gently with fear.

"I'm sorry......" Jiang Luosheng's voice trembled with his body, "I'm sorry ......"

Xiao Qi's heart hurt fiercely, and the desire in his eyes was intertwined with distress, "Silly girl, what are you talking about?" ”

"I'll help you." Jiang Luosheng said and went down.

"No, you don't." Xiao Qi grabbed her hand.

"Just let me help you, okay?" Jiang Luosheng's tone was actually a request.

Xiao Qi was stunned.

"Let me help you. I don't want to give you nothing. Jiang Luosheng's voice was so fragile that it made him feel distressed.

Xiao Qi leaned over and hugged her tightly in his arms, and before he could speak, he heard her speak, "There are so many good girls around you, they can give you what you want." But I can't give you anything, I can't even sleep with you......"

"Luo Sheng," Xiao Qi listened to her more and more biased, "you don't have to give me anything." I don't want anything, as long as you're happy. ”

He clasped the back of her head and buried his head in her neck, "Really. I just want you to be happy. ”

His still burning breath gently sprayed on the sensitive skin of Jiang Luosheng's neck. She shuddered slightly.

"Take your time," Xiao Qi coaxed softly, "no hurry." ”

Jiang Luosheng raised his hand around Xiao Qi's neck, and two lines of tears fell quietly.

She couldn't.

Once this shell is no longer a bargaining chip for the exchange of interests, she will not be able to linger at all.

Xiao Qi supported his upper body slightly with one hand, looked at the person under him, and raised his other hand to wipe away the tears for her, "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for overcoming your fears for me."

Xiao Qi has long been accustomed to her perfect acting skills, so she never expected that one day, she would take off her mask and remove all her clothes, revealing her original self, fragile but real.

She was trying to reach out to him.

That's enough.
