He loves you

I lay in his arms, feeling powerless all over my body. He kissed me lightly on my hair and forehead. He didn't say anything, but I knew he was comforting me.

I tilted my head and looked into his eyes. His eyes were full of pain.

I know that the Zhou family is cooperating with the Yan family, how can I dissuade them from cooperating? What qualifications do I have?

I close my eyes and lean against his chest. Just a little warmth, just a little.

I took his cool hand and he held me in his other.

I tried my best to hold back my tears, but I still wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry in front of Zhou Jin.

Maybe because I was too tired, I fell asleep very quickly.

But after not sleeping for long, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I felt like I was being hugged to the point where I could barely breathe.

I woke up and heard a small sound.

What was Zhou Jin doing? I thought.

But before I could think for long, I felt Zhou Jin kiss my lips.

His lips were like dragonfly skimming the surface of the water as they landed on mine. He was extremely careful.

When I opened my eyes to look at him, I saw that he was stunned. His eyes were filled with panic, but what surprised me the most was that I saw the tears in his eyes.

In the darkness, as the cold moonlight shone into the room, I saw his tearful eyes twinkle.

Both of us are suffering for a future that is almost impossible.

I reached out and touched his face. His face was very hot, and I guessed it would be very red by now.

He let go of my head and looked away.

I grabbed him by the neck and kissed him. My kiss was strong, but he was just passively enduring it.

After a long time, I let go of him, his eyes shining with lust, and patted his face, whispering in his ear, "Well, good night's kiss is over, go to sleep."

He looked at me with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but he said nothing, only looked at me piteously.

"Sleep." I took his hand from my chest and said, "You're not working tomorrow?"

Zhou Jin's restless hands moved down along my waist. He kissed me on the collarbone and said softly, "Tomorrow is the end of the world. Then, I want to die together with you in bed."

He must have studied romantic speech during his three years of study abroad.

"Shut up." I said, and now it was my turn to blush.

Zhou Jin smiled and hugged me.

Neither of us did anything, and I woke up early. Zhou Jin was still sleeping, still hugging me, sleeping like a child.

I kissed him on the forehead and went to the bathroom.

I liked every second I was with him, and I was relieved to know he was with me. He lived in the softest corner of my heart, and I protected him with my steel bones.

Warm water ran down my skin, and I didn't want to think too much about it. I thought of my contest work, and how there were still a few other factories to run today, hoping to find someone to help me.

When I came out of the bathroom after drying my hair, I fell into a big hug and he lowered his head and tried to kiss me.

I laughed and covered his mouth with my fingers. He looked at me in confusion.

"Brush your teeth." "No," I said.

Zhou Jin blushed, and then quickly ran into the bathroom.

Alright, I admit that I didn't brush my teeth when I kissed Zhou Jin's forehead.

I stood on the balcony and smoked. The city, which had been washed by the heavy rain, glittered everywhere.

I blew smoke rings into the morning air and watched them fill up and disappear, getting more and more addicted to tobacco.

Zhou Jin came out of the shower and hugged me from behind. I turned around and kissed his lips, but he choked on the cigarette. I laughed, and Zhou Jin took my cigarette and put it out.

"You're so cute, Zhou Jin." I went into the room to change into shorts and a shirt, my slightly curly hair tied back in a ponytail. "I can't play with you anymore, I have to go to work."

Zhou Jin sat on the bed, looking like a lonely young lady who didn't want to be dissatisfied. He blinked at me, his eyes were very clear, and I thought back to his cold eyes, pretending to look like that must have been very hard for him.

When I had finished dressing and packing, I walked over to Zhou Jin. He looked up at me, and I pinched his chin and kissed him on the lips like a dragonfly.

I wanted to let him go right away, but he threw his arms around me and pinned me down on the bed.

"Is that enough?" I pursed my lips and looked at him.

He looked at me, neither speaking nor taking the next step, but I could see clearly enough in his eyes.

I sighed and pushed him away. "I'm leaving."

He didn't let go of my hand.

"How was tonight?" "No," I said.

Zhou Jin looked at me without speaking, but in the end he nodded.

I took the design out of the room, and he looked at me from behind. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

I closed the door of the hotel and stood in the doorway. I thought about it for a moment, then got on the elevator.

I still have work, and feelings are unreliable, but work will never betray me.

I took the subway for about an hour and walked for another half an hour before I sat in the office of an inlaid factory.

I knew the answer by the look on his face as he sat across from me frowning at the plans.

I walked out of the factory, dizzy from the afternoon sun.

I returned to my hotel room. Zhou Jin was no longer there. He had left without leaving anything behind.

I packed my bags and went to another country. I had to go to another factory.

I sat on the plane. Outside the window were white, cottony clouds, and I leaned back in my chair to catch up on my sleep.

I hesitated for a long time, not knowing if I should send him a message. I was worried that my message would be seen by Zhou Jin's fiancee, Yan Siqi.

After a moment of hesitation, I deleted all the sweet words, leaving only one sentence, I went to another country.

I went to Germany. I had always wanted to go to Swan Castle in Germany, but it was too late this time. I also wanted to see the musical Elizabeth.

After a day of running around, I sat on the hotel sofa, nibbling on a sandwich and browsing through the news.

I saw the news that a certain famous female celebrity was going to attend a banquet, but this banquet caught my attention, because the banquet was a charity banquet held by the Yan family in France. In the corner of the big photo of the female celebrity, I saw Zhou Jin.

I quickly cut through the news and threw my phone on the bed. The sandwich that was originally tasteless in my hand was now even more unappetizing.

So the reason Zhou Jin came here was to attend the banquet. I thought.

Over the next two weeks, I visited all the top European production plants, but without exception all of them rejected me. They told me it was an impossible task.

I returned to France with my hair tied up and my jeans as dirty as if they hadn't been washed in a year. I booked a plane ticket back home the next day before heading to the hotel. Once again, I went to the hotel where Zhou Jin and I used to stay.

"Thank you." I took the key in the room and said to the elegant Middle-aged woman in front of me.

She smiled, reached for my cell phone, and typed a few words into its translator before handing it to me.

I looked at her doubtfully, but she smiled at me, her smile was very charming.

I looked at the words on the translator. Tears fell on the back of my hand, and the translator said, "After you left, a man came to see you. He sat in your room for two days. He loved you."

"Thank you." I wiped my eyes and sat in the elevator.

I lay on the bed where I had once hugged Zhou Jin, hugging myself as he would hold me, knowing that he was somewhere in France at the moment, accompanied by a beautiful woman.

He didn't come and didn't look for me.

The next day I flew home on my own, sitting in my studio at home, thinking that since all the other factories had turned me down and told me I couldn't do it, I'd have to do it myself.

I needed to carve out the wax mold first. I shut myself up in the studio, not answering the phone, not looking at the mail, not even sleeping, and every day I opened my eyes I would be at work, sleeping for two hours at most, until my hand with the tools began to tremble.

I've forgotten how many days it was until someone woke me up from my mad work.

"Bang, bang, bang!" I heard a knock on the security door, hard, and I jumped.

I frowned and listened for a moment, then put on the soundproofed earplugs.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Even after wearing earplugs, the knocking sounds still clearly transmitted into my ears.

I reluctantly put down my tools and left the room.

I stood at the door and asked weakly, "Who is it?"

"It's me." Outside, Zhou Jin's voice could be heard. "Open the door." There was anxiety in his voice.

When I opened the door, I saw Zhou Jin in a suit. His eyes were red, and he was looking straight at me with eyes full of pain.

I looked down at myself. After two weeks of not changing clothes, I hadn't had a proper meal and had probably lost a few pounds.

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Zhou Jin asked me.

"I'm busy." "Yes," I said, answering the question as I walked toward the workroom.

I was sitting in the workshop again, looking at the wax molds, and the diamonds were coming in, and I needed hands.

Zhou Jin sat to one side, silent, staring at me.

I don't have time to worry about his feelings right now. I still have a pile of uninlaid diamonds.

"I'll get someone to help you." Zhou Jin said, "Rest well." His voice was very gentle.

"Yes." "Yes," I said.

Zhou Jin walked to the back of my chair and hugged me from behind.

"You must pick up my phone in the future." He sounded angry and imploring.

"Yes."

Zhou Jin brought me 20 decorators, and we spent a month in the workshop of the renovated shop.

"It's almost over. You guys can go take a rest." I said to the people in the studio, "I'll do the rest myself."

The craftsmen in the studio looked at me and nodded. They were indeed exhausted, but my demands were high. If they failed even a little, they would have to go back to work. Furthermore, although they slept for a few more hours than I did, the intense work made them feel much more haggard.

"Thank you." I stood up and said, "I'll put the money in your account."

As they left the studio one by one, I was the only one left in the busy room.

Only a little was left. Once again I sat at the workbench and worked.

I had forgotten how many hours I had worked on my own, except that it was dark when I looked up.

I put the fan down on the table.

It's done.

This "magnificent fan" had a total of 2399 diamonds, for a total of 310.27 carats. Not only was it inlaid with 360 degree diamonds, it was fully formed and there was a seabird brooch that could be taken down from the bottom left corner of the fan.

I stood up and shook off the metal powder on my pants. I carefully held onto the fan, afraid that it would fall to the ground. The diamond on the Sea Bird brooch shone under the light of the lamp.

"It's done." I had lost almost twenty pounds to do this, and now my wrist was so thin it felt like it would snap with a little squeeze.

I put the fan in a box, tied a ribbon around it, and collapsed into a chair.

There was silence, and the city was asleep, as if I were the only one awake.

While I was at work, Zhou Jin would return occasionally, but I was often too busy to pay attention to him. Even if he acted pitifully in front of me, I still wouldn't be able to leave my work at hand to accompany him.

I'm not going to call him unless it's a particularly urgent matter, and I'm afraid his fiancée will find out something, which is not good for him.

I was going to lie down on the table and sleep for a while before dawn. Perhaps because I was too tired, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down.

After who knows how long, I opened my eyes, before me was a sunny day, my heart felt incomparably tranquil.

I washed my face, took care of myself, and sent my work to the office.

It was finally over. After showering, I lay on my bed in my bedroom and settled down to wait for the results of the match.

I fell asleep under the covers. It had been a long time since I had a good sleep. After who knows how long, I felt my hands being held down. When I opened my eyes, I saw Zhou Jin's furry head.
