Give him residual warmth (1)
Summer 2021.
It was night, the lights were dim, and the air was filled with shower gel and a faint fragrance of flowers, mixed together, and it smelled indescribably good.
Jiang Tan had just come out of the bathroom, his body was wet and stained with moisture.
She had just moved in and couldn't find a hair dryer, so she sat down obediently.
Jiang Tan has not seen Zhou Yinghuai in the past few days since he moved in.
Zhou Yinghuai is very busy.
Jiang Tan knew that this was not an illusion, how could the person in charge of Weixi Group not be busy?
Jiang Tan didn't intend to disturb Zhou Yinghuai, she had a clear understanding of her positioning, so she was quiet and never asked more.
The moment the door was pushed open, Jiang Tan was wringing out the water marks on his hair with a towel.
The man stood at the door, his body was proportionally superior, an indifferent face, noble and detached, his eyes were very dark, and he looked at Jiang Tan so quietly, which made people feel unpredictable.
"Why don't you blow dry your hair?" Zhou Yinghuai's tone was light.
Jiang Tan put down the towel at a loss, put his hand on his knees, and unconsciously looked like a primary school student, "I didn't find a hair dryer." β
"Isn't the butler here during the day?" He asked plainly.
Jiang Tan suddenly felt more restrained, she lowered her eyebrows, and her voice was softer: "I'm sorry." β
Zhou Yinghuai has never seen a person with Jiang Tan's temperament, he is too soft, and there is no edge or corner in the softness.
Or rather, he hasn't been with a woman.
But the fiancΓ©e set for him by the elders of the family, the young lady of the Chu family, is not Jiang Tan's character at all.
Jiang Tan didn't dare to look at Zhou Yinghuai's eyes, lowered his head, and the droplets of water fell on the back of his hand drop by drop.
She saw Zhou Yinghuai turn around and go to the bathroom on the side.
After a moment, the man held a hair dryer in his hand and called her name, and he said, "Jiang Tan, come here." β
Jiang Tan stood up and ran towards him.
She was in such a hurry that she didn't even wear shoes.
Zhou Yinghuai was waiting in the bathroom and saw Jiang Tan walking in barefoot.
Reckless.
"Where's your shoes?" His voice is very good, it is the kind of low timbre with a sense of story.
Jiang Tan followed his words, lowered her head to look at her feet, and the roots of her ears were red: "I forgot." β
As the words fell, the man grabbed her by the waist and picked her up and put her on the washstand.
Jiang Tan was so frightened that he held his breath and looked at him with a pair of round and moist eyes.
Zhou Yinghuai usually treats people with a careless energy, and he doesn't have much expression on his face, which always makes people feel unpredictable.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but smile when he looked at Jiang Tan like this.
"What are you afraid of doing like this?" There was a rare smile in his tone: "Am I scary?" β
Jiang Tan shook her head, she was indeed an honest little girl, she looked at him seriously and said, "You are very good-looking." β
Zhou Yinghuai knew that his skin should be good-looking for a young girl.
But few people dare to praise him like that.
For a person who plays with power and is in a high position, the skin is insignificant, and if you praise it, it will seem a little top-heavy.
Jiang Tan said very seriously.
With a lazy smile in his eyes, Zhou Yinghuai touched Jiang Tan's hair, "Well, sit down." β
"Oh"
Jiang Tan sat down at a loss, and didn't react until he heard the sound of the hair dryer.
She subconsciously wanted to take it, "I can do it myself"
Zhou Yinghuai lowered his eyebrows, glanced at her lightly, and gave her the hair dryer.
He is not the kind of person who can pull, Jiang Tan said no, he really didn't give it.
Jiang Tan looked at the hair dryer in his hand, and then looked up at Zhou Yinghuai's back who had already walked away, somehow, he couldn't hold back, and the corners of his lips had an inexplicable smile.
When she dried her hair and walked back into the room, Zhou Yinghuai had already put her blazer on the sofa next to her.
He was wearing only a simple white shirt, he was talking on the phone with his back to him, the watch on his wrist exuded a metallic luster, a tendon extending from the strap, his complexion was cold and white, and the cyan meridians were obvious.
Jiang Tan stood behind him, a little restrained.
He was speaking a foreign language, Jiang Tan had never heard the language of this country, but he felt that every sentence was cold, flat and straightforward, and there was no temperature.
Jiang Tan thought about it later, it should be Zhou Yinghuai's consistent tone of speech.
She stood obediently until Zhou Yinghuai finished the phone call and turned to look at her.
The man's eyes paused slightly, hung up the phone, and beckoned to Weiwei, "Come here." β
Jiang Tan seemed to be some kind of small animal, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards Zhou Yinghuai quickly.
She is so young that she won't even hide what she thinks in her heart, and her face is full of obvious emotions.
"These days, is it okay to live alone?"
"It's good." Jiang Tan said: "It's just too big, when I first came in, I almost got lost several times." β
"Well, I didn't know the new one."
The Ming Garden, which originally belonged to the museum, is now the place where the young master of Zhou Da's golden house is hidden.
Zhou Yinghuai touched her hair and touched the dry hair with satisfaction, "In the future, the hair will have to be blown like this before it can come out." β
Jiang Tan looked at him for a moment, "Okay." β
After she finished speaking, her face was a little red, and her eyes were brighter, "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your concern!" β
Zhou Yinghuai wanted to laugh a little.
He likes to talk about ugly things, especially in personal matters, and he doesn't like to have any misunderstandings.
So he looked at Jiang Tan quietly, his fingertips ran through her hair, and his palm was firmly buckled on the back of her head, he said, "I don't want to care about you, I just don't want to affect my interest when I have sex." β
He said it so bluntly, so calmly.
Jiang Tan looked at him, his face was blushing to the extreme, and for a moment, grievances and loss crossed his eyes.
This was not what Jiang Tan wanted to hear, but soon, she adjusted her mood.
She didn't forget her deal with Zhou Yinghuai, and she wanted to follow the shortcut he gave her.
Although from the beginning, this was not what she wanted.
But Zhou Yinghuai is afraid of trouble, and Jiang Tan doesn't want to trouble him.
She looked at Zhou Yinghuai's cold and thin eyes, and stood on tiptoe to kiss the corners of his lips.
"It won't affect now," she said. β
There are no tricks, just simple elaboration.
But Zhou Yinghuai's eyes darkened in an instant.
She had no idea how tempting and sinful she was.
He clasped Jiang Tan's neck, firmly controlled the retreating girl in his arms, and kissed it.
Jiang Tan still didn't have much to adapt to Zhou Yinghuai's way.
He was overly aggressive, and he was as careless as he usually saw, and Sven was indifferent, judging the two of them.
Jiang Tan was very tired, so the whole person behind him was obedient and didn't want to go.
Zhou Yinghuai's voice was stained with darkness and desire, and it didn't sound the same as plain, he said: "Next time, prepare a few more, for your own body, understand?" β
It took Jiang Tan a long time to react, what was he talking about.
The girl's face was so red that she tried her best to hold back the shame in her heart and say a good word.
Zhou Yinghuai touched the corner of her sweaty forehead, his palm was very hot, his eyes fell on Jiang Tan, and he looked careless, "Why are you so tired?" β
Jiang Tan was speechless.
Zhou Yinghuai didn't embarrass her, so he coaxed and said, "If you say a few nice words, I'll let you go." β
Jiang Tan didn't know how to be good, he couldn't say it for a long time, and said aggrievedly with a crying voice: "I don't know."
Zhou Yinghuai smiled helplessly at her like this, and said Forget it, make up for it next time.
Later, when the night was very dark, Zhou Yinghuai hugged Jiang Tan and asked her if there was anything she wanted.
Jiang Tan lowered his head and looked at Zhou Yinghuai's hand clasped around his waist.
Otherwise, how can it be said that God is really unfair? There are really some people who are very good-looking from beginning to end.
Even the hands are the best-looking Jiang Tan has ever seen.
Jiang Tan touched his fingers, feeling the outline of his bones, her voice was small, "Can I have anything I want?" β
Zhou Yinghuai seemed to laugh, Jiang Tan didn't hear it clearly, it was more like an illusion.
"It can't be too outrageous, you want the stars in the sky, can I take them off for you?"
Jiang Tan frowned and retorted in a low voice: "Shouldn't you say that even if I want the stars in the sky, you will move a ladder for me to take them off?" β
Zhou Yinghuai smiled.
He said in a lazy and casual tone, and asked shallowly: "Have you watched too many soap operas?" β
Jiang Tan was a little tight, but she didn't have a position.
She held back the complicated emotions in her heart and said, "Then I want you to buy me a necklace." β
Zhou Yinghuai asked her what style she wanted.
Jiang Tan didn't want to think about it anymore, so he said that the bigger the better.
"Got it." Zhou Yinghuai paused and said, "You go to bed early." β
Jiang Tan subconsciously turned around in his arms and asked, "Don't you sleep with me?" β
Zhou Yinghuai turned his face and looked at her with a faint emotion, "I'm not used to having people around." β
Jiang Tan was uneasy by him, and his hand was pinched into the quilt.
"Jiang Tan, I hope you are by my side and can know your boundaries." His tone was calm, "I can spoil you, but you have to be obedient." β
Jiang Tan felt that his heart was even more uncomfortable than just now.
She said she did.
Very quietly, I didn't even notice the loss.
Zhou Yinghuai admitted that at that moment, he was a little distressed.
But he didn't think much about it, he attributed this emotion to the fact that he had never had a woman, Jiang Tan was his first woman, so she was naturally different from others.
This idea made Zhou Yinghuai feel a lot better.
His eyes softened slightly, touched Jiang Tan's face, and said softly: "Obediently, if you want to go to Weixi Group tomorrow and talk to the housekeeper, he will let someone send you over." β
Jiang Tan still said that he knew.
Zhou Yinghuai glanced at her, said no more, and left in his clothes.
Jiang Tan was curled up in the quilt alone and cried for a long time.
She seems to have put herself in a very passive position, a position that makes her love and hate a dilemma.
But if it weren't for this position, how could Zhou Yinghuai be willing to let her stay by his side?
He was such a rational person.
What can be given and what cannot be given.
Zhou Yinghuai knows it.
He will give himself a lot of money, but he will not give himself even a little love.
Weixi Group, fine.
Jiang Tan followed Zhou Yinghuai's suggestion and returned to work in Weixi Group.
He was scolded by his boss a few days ago, so when they met again many days later, Jiang Tan and his boss were very embarrassed.
The boss watched Jiang Tan being taken out by Zhou Yinghuai with his own eyes, so he knew the relationship between them.
At this time, he looked at Jiang Tan, stood up uneasily, and said, "What. Xiao Jiang, are you back? β
Jiang Tan nodded and said softly, "Mr. Zhou asked me to bring him breakfast." β
She held the paper bag in her hand, her boss glanced at it, and hurriedly said: "You go quickly, I don't have anything to do here, if you have anything to ask me to help with, you can tell me as you like!" β
Jiang Tan nodded, knowing what the change in his boss's attitude was for.
The fox fake tiger is powerful, Jiang Tan disdains to do it.
She walked into Zhou Yinghuai's office with a pinch, and the latter was reading documents.
He and Zhou Yinghuai at night were like two people, and they seemed to be more alienated.
Zhou Yinghuai glanced at the paper bag in Jiang Tan's hand, "What did you bring?" β
"You're in a hurry." Jiang Tan said with a serious face: "I only bought the rice balls downstairs of the company. β
Zhou Yinghuai said "um", "It's good, give it to me." β
Jiang Tan handed the bag to Zhou Yinghuai, watched him pick up the white rice balls and looked at them for a while, chewed and ate most of them slowly.
"What do you think it tastes like?" Jiang Tan asked curiously.
Zhou Yinghuai said that it was better than what Zhao Qi usually bringed.
Jiang Tan's eyes widened in shock.
"Jiang Tezhu is specially made by the chef." Jiang Tan has also been by Zhou Yinghuai's side for a long time, so he knows a little, "He will study what you want to eat every day after work." β
"Yes." Zhou Yinghuai was noncommittal.
Jiang Tan nodded again and again, saying yes, yes.
Zhou Yinghuai looked at her nodding like pounding garlic, and thought it was cute.
The smile in his eyes grew thicker, and he barely hid it, "What position do you want to change when you come back?" β
"Change jobs?" Jiang Tan was stunned for a moment, "My current position is very good." β
"You plan to be an assistant by my side for the rest of your life?"
Zhou Yinghuai raised his eyes and looked at her, "Jiang Tan, you can use me." β
The word 'utilization' was sharp, and Jiang Tan's brows furrowed.
The rejection on her face was so obvious that Zhou Yinghuai couldn't pretend to be invisible.
He said calmly, "Do you find it hard to hear? β
Jiang Tan said yes, it's hard to hear.
The corners of Zhou Yinghuai's lips hooked a faint arc.
"The relationship between people and people is profitable in the final analysis, it's just that these words are too naked, so they seem harsh, but Jiang Tan" Zhou Yinghuai looked at her with a more straightforward gaze and a calm expression, "Who rules that you can't use me?" What you have to do now is to seize the opportunity to be by my side and use me to climb up. β
At that time, how could Jiang Tan accept such an idea?
Her feelings are too simple.
"I didn't want to take advantage of you, Zhou Yinghuai, I just like the feeling of staying with you." Jiang Tan clenched his fists and whispered, "I didn't want to get anything from you. β
Zhou Yinghuai retracted his gaze, his noble face was cold and handsome, his tone was so calm that there was not a trace of ripples, and he said in an extremely indifferent voice: "Then you are really not suitable to stay by my side." β
