“Was the chocolate delicious?”
It was fine had he not mentioned the chocolate, but once he mentioned it, Ji Qingqing began to recall the rich and sweet chocolate from before. She licked her gums with the tip of her tongue. She could still taste the chocolate in her mouth. It was very sweet.
“It was sweet.”
Lu Lixing narrowed his eyes slightly. He recalled Ji Qingqing’s joyous expression when she was shooting the commercial.
“You and Lu Yao...have you guys worked together before?”
Ji Qingqing searched through the original owner of the body’s memories and discovered that this was her first time working with Lu Yao. She shook her head, “No, this is our first time working together.”
Lu Lixing recalled the scene where Ji Qingqing fed Lu Yao chocolate. He recalled another scene where Ji Qingqing covered Lu Yao’s eyes with her hands while Lu Yao pulled her into his arms. Their actions were natural without any hint of hesitation. Lu Lixing frowned at his thoughts.
Their actions flowed smoothly with each other as if they worked together numerous times, even though this is their first time working together.
“I helped you request a seven-day break, you can rest at home for these seven days.”
Ji Qingqing was taken aback, “Seven days? Why did you ask them to give me seven days off?”
“Isn’t your body unwell?”
When the car suddenly hit the brakes, Ji Qingqing felt the hot-water bag slipping from her stomach, so she bent over and reached out to catch the falling hot-water bag.
Neither of them caught the falling hot-water bag, instead, her hand was grabbed by another person’s hand.
The hand belonged to Lu Lixing.
Lu Lixing’s fingers were slender and the bone structure on his hand was distinct. His hand was large and powerful; it was able to easily cover Ji Qingqing’s entire hand.
After she had her hand on the hot-water bag for a while, the temperature of her hand had naturally risen. When Lu Lixing accidentally grabbed her hand, Ji Qingqing subconsciously withdrew her hand from his grip because his hands were scalding hot; she was surprised that his hand was even warmer than her hand.
Her heartbeat accelerated the moment their hands came in contact, and her cheeks began to burn.
Lu Lixing didn’t manage to catch the hot-water bag, nor did he manage to grab ahold of Ji Qingqing’s hand. Without the hot-water bag, there were no other sources of heat for Ji Qingqing. He could only cover Ji Qingqing’s stomach with the palm of his hand.
Ji Qingqing only wore a thin layer of clothing today; she could feel the warmth radiating from Lu Lixing’s palm through her clothes.
Ji Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat as her hand reflexively reached out to touch her stomach. Her hand directly covered the back of Lu Lixing’s hand, pushing Lu Lixing’s palm closer to her lower abdomen.
“...”
What kind of situation was this?
Ji Qingqing’s hand was placed on top of Lu Lixing’s hand, while Lu Lixing’s palm was resting on top of her stomach.
