Can't you even scream in pain?
When the lanterns were lit, the French windows were decorated with beautiful neon lights.
The person lying on the table had fallen asleep, and there was a floor lamp by the side of the table.
The dim orange light shone warmly around her, firmly wrapping around her petite body.
The thick eyes that were pressed against the bridge of his nose were crooked, his ink-like long hair was in disarray, and a few strands of hair were hanging down onto his cheeks.
The documents on the table were spread out in a messy and disorderly manner.
Zhu Jiangci stood at her side and stared at her for a long time. Then he raised his hand and gently took off the glasses that had been tilted to the side and placed it on the table.
He glanced at the open computer. In the bottom left-hand corner it said 11: 45 P.M.
After arriving at the company, he was too busy to care about anyone else.
When he regained his senses, the company people had already started work, and even Lin Yan had been sent back to the hotel by him.
When he was about to leave, Zhu Jiangci suddenly remembered that Su Qiao An had followed him over to the company.
When he found the small office, Su Qiao An was already asleep, lying on the table sleeping soundly, not even knowing that someone had entered the room.
Zhu Jiangci looked at her sleeping face, his eyelashes like a fan, which slowly closed up to reveal a faint shadow. He pursed his lips, and on his nose, a red line was left behind by his glasses.
His hand didn't drop for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a moan before he lowered his hand and tightened it, clenching and unclenching his fist.
Su Qiao An slept unwell. When he woke up, he frowned and rubbed his eyes, looking drowsy.
She still hadn't noticed the people around her. Clutching her mouth, she yawned.
"Where are my glasses …" She touched her face and felt something was wrong.
The eyes of the person standing beside her were deep and focused on her.
Su Qiao An, who was slow on the uptake, turned his head, and only saw an outline, and a very blurry shadow.
Her eyes narrowed as she tried to discern what was happening. The double was so heavy that she couldn't see anything clearly.
"Get up." Zhu Jiangci said in a deep voice.
Su Qiao An reflexively stood up fiercely, his knees knocked against the edge of the table, his body was bent, and his face was pale white.
The people around him seemed to move away, their footsteps distancing them.
The moment the door closed, Su Qiao An sat back down on the office chair, one hand rubbing his knees, his delicate eyebrows locked into a knot.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard the sound of the door opening and subconsciously raised her head. Since she did not have glasses, she could only squint as she tried to see.
The hazy and tall figure gradually approached, the office chair that was sitting on was forcefully moved, following that, Su Qiao An felt himself rising into the air, she was startled, his hand instinctively grabbing onto his neck, not letting go.
With her steady steps, even by leaning against him, she could feel the warmth of his body and his strong physique.
Zhu Jiangci placed her on the sofa and Su Qiao An obediently retracted her hand. With a blank look in her eyes, she could only vaguely see a person moving before her eyes. As for what he was doing, Su Qiao An couldn't tell.
With his leg being lightly touched, Su Qiao An pulled back, feeling a little uneasy.
The man raised his eyes and looked deeply at her before grabbing her ankle and forcefully lifted her leg up.
The legs of the pants were rolled up, revealing her straight and shiny calves. She rolled over the knees, and when she saw the scarlet color that covered the knees, Zhu Jiangci silently poured the medicinal oil onto his palms, placing his hands over her knees to strongly massage.
Su Qiao An withdrew his leg, his ankle was grabbed tightly, and he was unable to move.
The force of the pushing was too strong. Su Yun pinched the center of his brows and bit down hard on his lower lip.
Zhu Jiangci glanced at her and asked, "Is it really painful?"
She did not say anything, but Zhu Jiangci lowered his strength and continued speaking, "Do you not even know how to cry out in pain?"
"I shouted … What's the difference? " She didn't need the sympathy of others. Moreover, no one would be so anxious just because she cried out for pain.
Hearing this, Zhu Jiangci's hand paused, and a deep gaze swept past her face, "Occasionally, retract that little bit of pride of yours, and outsiders wouldn't target you like that."
Su Qiao An bit the corner of his lips, a bitter taste on his lips.
Her pride was just a disguise. It was not because she was having a bad time yet didn't want others to laugh at her. She was just gritting her teeth in frustration. She was also envious of the women who would give her water when she was thirsty, the women who would send her food when they were hungry, and the women who were comforted and accompanied.
However, the path she chose was destined to be filled with these ordinary requests. It was a dream she had all her life. It was too difficult to get what she wanted from someone who didn't love her.
After a long period of silence, Su Qiao An's vision became blurry, and the originally handsome silhouette became a blurry blur that couldn't overlap with one another. She stared at Zhu Jiangci, and only after a long while did he forcibly move his gaze away from him.
"Thank you for what happened that day." Zhu Jiangci suddenly said.
She was stunned and did not understand.
Zhu Jiangci looked at her and said, "Thank you for helping me find this thing."
"..." Su Qiao An nodded slowly.
Sensing that he had stopped, Su Qiao An slowly withdrew her leg and sat on the sofa. Her red lips slightly lifted, "You don't need to thank me, I just happened to pick it up."
Hearing that, Zhu Jiangci raised his eyebrows, and then stretched.
She didn't see the complex look in the man's eyes. Zhu Jiangci looked at her deeply, but didn't ask or poke holes in her.
After that night when he left Qi Yuan Yuan's house, he did indeed have something on his body. After that, he found out from Lin Yan that Su Qiao An had went to many places to find her that night, and had even almost been trapped in a low-lying area near the University City.
If the rescuers hadn't arrived in time, the two of them might have been trapped in the car and suffocated to death.
He was getting harder and harder to understand Su Qiao An. What did she want? For something that had nothing to do with her, he was willing to put his life on the line for it. Love? How much credibility could the feelings she spoke of have?
"Achoo!" Su Qiao An sneezed as he covered his mouth. His long hair slipped from his shoulders and covered his delicate face.
Zhu Jiangci looked at her, "Have you recovered from your cold? You took some medicine? "
"Alright, my nose is just a bit itchy." She was afraid that Zhu Jiangci would drag her to the hospital on a whim. If she really entered the hospital, she wouldn't be able to find anything.
He did not make things difficult for Su Qiao An either. Thinking back to what she had done before, his heart felt a little stuffy.
After pondering for a long time, the tranquil and strange atmosphere was broken by an untimely cooing sound. Su Qiao An covered his lower abdomen and pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth pulling apart, feeling a little awkward.
Zhu Jiangci sized her up, then said: "Get up, I'll bring you to eat."
He paused, then asked, "Can you walk?"
"Yes." She silently pulled on her pants, and after pulling off the leg that had been rolled up, she shakily tried to stand up, but she couldn't see anything clearly, and every step she took was extremely difficult. Just as she was about to fall, Zhu Jiangci quickly supported her, putting his hands on her shoulders to stabilize her body.
