Accidental Love

Chapter 60: His Look is Scorching and Direct

While with Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi already lost track of how many times she lifted a rock and smashed it on her own foot.

Using the fact that she was hurt, she continuously stepped forward to test for Shi Yan's bottom line. After realizing that there didn't seem to be a limit, she was almost about to shamelessly go even further.

But the truth proved that in terms of countering Zheng Shuyi, Shi Yan seemed to never lose.

In Shi Yan's arms, Zheng Shuyi froze, her brain quickly processing.

Why am I suddenly going to live in his house now?

It was mainly because she felt like it might not be very suitable for them to be living together so quickly.

Is the procedure way too oversimplified?

Do CEOs nowadays all seek efficiency this much?

After thinking about it carefully, none of her requests involved having to live in his house.

He made it sound like if she went to live there, he would come home to eat every meal.

Yes, this had to be it.

The case was solved. Shi Yan wasn't trying to fulfill his promise at all, he was just bringing his own feelings into this matter.

Scheming with me? Don't even think about it!

Zheng Shuyi slowly raised her head and then pushed Shi Yan away with a serious look on her face. Without another word, she turned around and walked towards the office door. The words "my act is over, time to go home" were written all over her back.

Shi Yan reached forward and grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going?"

Zheng Shuyi still didn't look back.

She tried to make herself look calm and cold.

"Going home to pack up."

In fact, Zheng Shuyi never planned to reject this offer in the first place.

She found out that she seemed to have some kind of skin hunger: every time she saw Shi Yan, she wanted to touch him, even if it was just holding hands, it made her really happy.

And from what happened just now, she probably didn't seem reserved at all in Shi Yan's eyes.

It has always been like this. Shi Yan could give her a pole, and she could reach the top of it with rocket speed.

The sense of weakness she had when she came in completely disappeared. She took big steps as she walked out and her long hair bounced slightly on her back.

But after a few steps, she suddenly turned around.

"What is it?"

Shi Yan had already sat down behind his desk.

Zheng Shuyi smiled, her eyes gleaming like the stars.

She didn't speak and ran back to Shi Yan. She leaned over in front of him and said quietly, "Nothing, I just want to kiss you."

Shi Yan: ""

His face showed no changes as he slightly leaned back.

A solid "no".

Zheng Shuyi was already used to him being like this. She got even closer and smiled as she tugged his tie, "Just once?"

Before waiting for a reply, she leaned her face over, but Shi Yan turned his head slightly, causing her to miss.

Zheng Shuyi: ""

Her face remained the same too as she straightened her back and looked around.

"Where's the wine? Do you have wine here? Actually, pure alcohol is fine too."

Shi Yan didn't move. He sat there and interestingly watched Zheng Shuyi's performance.

"Enough already, this is an office."

"So what?"

Zheng Shuyi lost interest in an instant, "No one else is here."

"But I'll have a reaction."

Zheng Shuyi: "?"

She froze for a second and then turned around mechanically like a robot.

And Shi Yan sat upright, his lenses reflecting the light from the screen. Behind the cold frames, his eyes seemed to be very serious.

Yes, he just looked at Zheng Shuyi like that.

This person

How can he say that without blushing and with such a straight face?

Then, he loosened his tie and said calmly, "If you don't mind, then sure."

Zheng Shuyi's face turned red immediately. She went to grab her bag in a panic.

"You should go back to work now."

She didn't wait for a reply from Shi Yan and turned to leave.

At the door, she pressed the button for the door to open, but nothing happened.

She pressed it again a few times, but the results were the same.

She could feel a scorching gaze stuck onto her, and she felt too embarrassed to look back at that gaze.

She could only say with her back facing the owner of this gaze, "Your office door is broken."

"It's not."

His voice accompanied his footsteps as he appeared beside her.

Then, he hugged her from behind and his breath slowly enveloped Zheng Shuyi.

He lowered his head and landed a soft kiss on her earlobe.

It was just a soft and quick touch, satisfying her request.

But Zheng Shuyi could feel that he was really restraining himself.

The next second, Shi Yan held Zheng Shuyi's left hand, brought it up, and pressed the open button on the wall.

When he held his hand and pressed it down, a force came down on her from behind.

For some reason, her breathing suddenly tightened, and all the sensory nerves in her body became ten times more sensitive.

Then, he whispered in her ear, "You pressed the wrong one."

Walking out of the office and seeing the busy office workers, Zheng Shuyi looked down and quickly went for the elevator.

Nothing much had really happened back then, but she had an inexplicable guilty conscience as if everyone could see the uncontrolled imaginary scenes in her brain.

Until she entered the elevator, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Her mind started to calm down and the pain from her hand started to return.

Back at home, Zheng Shuyi, who could only use one hand right now, looked at the suitcase in confusion.

Although the injury wasn't bad enough to disrupt her living, the cosmetics in front of her have become a great problem.

But because of habit, she couldn't go to work without makeup.

While she was being frustrated, Tang Yi called.

Zheng Shuyi opened speaker mode and tossed the phone to the side. She opened her cosmetics bag as she asked, "What is it?"

"I talked with the chief editor today," said Tang Yi, "How should I put this This situation is quite  troublesome. None of us wanted such a troublemaker to stay in the company."

Listening to her tone, Zheng Shuyi could already tell a "but" would come up.

"But after all, she didn't violate the business rules in the contract."

Sure enough, just as Zheng Shuyi had expected. Tang Yi sighed and continued, "Moreover, she has been our employee for a long time. If we are too merciless on her, it would have a ripple effect on the other workers too."

Zheng Shuyi just "mm"ed twice, and then asked, "So?"

"So, after discussing with the chief editor, and since the spring recruitment season is about to start, we are going to move her to a branch company. Is that good enough of an explanation for you?"

After all, Xu Yuling didn't do something that irreversible, and Zheng Shuyi didn't want to put her to an end either.

Being moved to a branch, the benefits and resources would be far from that of the headquarters, let alone future career development.

Zheng Shuyi naturally had no objection.

She thought for a second and then said, "Sister Yi, I want to take annual leave."

"What? Please make yourself clear."

"It's nothing much," Zheng Shuyi had already taken out the organized cosmetics and only put in some skincare products, "My fingers are injured anyway, I can't do anything. And I'm also quite busy these days. I'm tired, and I don't want to see her in the company. So, I guess I'll just use my annual leave on this."

Tang Yi was silent for a moment, then replied, "You'll have to apply and get approved first."

Zheng Shuyi took a total of four days of annual leave, in addition to the weekend, it was six days.

She packed her clothes according to the time she estimated.

When Shi Yan came to pick her up, he looked at the 24-inch suitcase and asked, "That's it?"

"It's enough," Zheng Shuyi explained her calculations, "I took a few days off, plus the doctor said that six to seven days of recovery should be enough. "

Shi Yan looked at her, said nothing more, and walked out with the suitcase.

This was her third time at Shi Yan's house.

Zheng Shuyi told herself, this time, she came as the identity of his girlfriend. She should be stepping with confident steps and showing a justified attitude.

But then, the two or three meters of the entrance passage took her more than a dozen steps.

Shi Yan pulled the suitcase, stopped suddenly, and looked back at her.

"Whwhat?"

Zheng Shuyi asked quietly.

"You seemed to be pretty brave before, going to a stranger's house in the middle of the night."

Shi Yan studied her and continued, "What are you so afraid of now?"

"What am I afraid of?"

Zheng Shuyi straightened her body, "My feet hurt, nothing more."

"Is that true?" Shi yan looked at her legs, "Would you like me to bring you in?"

Why does it feel like there's a weird sense of sexiness when entering this house

Zheng Shuyi walked past him, "I'm not that squeamish."

Shi Yan looked at her back and smiled.

Within two minutes after they walked in, someone had already brought them dinner.

The kitchen in this house was obviously just furnishing.

Shi Yan put the suitcase casually in the living room and turned around to see Zheng Shuyi standing there with her hands behind her back. Her eyes were turning around and looking everywhere, making it obvious that she was nervous, and even a little bit ofShi Yan wasn't sure if he was imagining this excitement.

"It's time to eat."

"Oh," Zheng Shuyi turned her head over, "Okay."

She walked over to the dining room and sat down looking very dignified.

Perhaps it was taking her injury into consideration, the rice was deliberately boiled into porridge, and a spoon was next to it.

And in front of Shi Yan were normal rice and chopsticks.

But Zheng Shuyi didn't show any intention of doing things herself. She raised her head and looked at Shi Yan in front.

During these few seconds, Shi Yan had already picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

He didn't even look at her. Zheng Shuyi coughed.

"What?"

Shi Yan looked up.

Zheng Shuyi looked at the food in front of her and raised her eyebrows, trying to signal him something.

Shi Yan followed her gaze and said, "That's not green onion, that's spring onion. "

Zheng Shuyi: "?"

That's not what I'm trying to say

But is that really not green onions?

She took a few more glances, "How come they look exactly the same?"

"They just look the same," Shi Yan started lecturing with extreme patience, "They are planted at different times and taste slightly different too.1The original raws put some other more scientific explanation, but like I'm not a biology student so I have no idea what it's talking about. So I kinda came up with my own ?  Zheng Shuyi pretended that she understood, "Oh, I see"

Then she suddenly came back to her senses.

"That's not what I'm trying to say. You promised me something this afternoon, did you forget? Or were you just trying to trick me into your house?

Shi Yan looked up and stared at her, swallowed the food in his mouth, then said slowly, "Yeah."

Facing his straight eyes but hearing him say such shameless words

Zheng Shuyi's reaction was strange.

She didn't feel angry but instead felt her face being hot.

She didn't say anymore and picked up the spoon with her left hand and started to stir the porridge.

At this time, Shi Yan suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks. He didn't say anything as he got up, walked around the table, pulled out a chair beside her, and sat down. Then he took away her bowl and spoon.

His motions were smooth and quick. Before Zheng Shuyi was even able to react, a spoonful of porridge was already in front of her mouth.

Zheng Shuyi was stunned for a moment, looking at his eyes.

Shi Yan wasn't in a hurry either. After looking at her for a while, he said, "Open."

As if he pressed a switch, Zheng Shuyi obediently opened her mouth.

A spoonful of porridge was fed over, and even her swallowing movements were mechanical.

The dining room was so quiet that the only sound came from the spoon that touched the edge of the ceramic bowl and the two's breathing.

Although Shi Yan was feeding her, he kept looking at her eyes and didn't even take one glance at the bowl in hand.

He was doing the most gentle thing, but his eyes were scorching and direct. It was like a heatwave coming from all sides, drowning her little by little.

This ain't eating food

This is eating me alive!

After a few mouthfuls, Zheng Shuyi couldn't stand it anymore. She closed her mouth and looked away.

"You're done?"

She was still a little hungry.

Zheng Shuyi took over the spoon from his hand.

"I can do it myself."

She buried her head into the bowl and started to eat without looking up.

Shi Yan pressed his hand against his temple and sat there looking at her for a while. Then he chuckled and finally sat back in his seat.

After the meal, it wasn't even eight o'clock yet.

Shi Yan still had something to do, but instead of going to the study room, he took his laptop and sat in the living room.

Zheng Shuyi was originally playing games on her phone in the living room. Seeing Shi Yan coming over, she closed her phone and quietly sat there, watching Shi Yan's motions.

After a few minutes, she started to realize that Shi Yan didn't seem to be that busy after all. He was just casually checking some emails.

So she started to get restless again.

"I'm a little thirsty and want a drink. Can you open one for me?"

Shi Yan heard her but continued to type look at his laptop.

A few seconds later, he walked over to the fridge, took out a bottle of water, and handed it to Zheng Shuyi without a word.

Half an hour later.

"I want an orange. The doctor said I need more vitamins."

The phone rang at the same time, it was from his assistant.

Shi Yan opened speaker mode and listened as he leaned over to peel the oranges.

Another half an hour later.

Zheng Shuyi's neck was sore from looking at her phone. She moved her shoulders and neck, then brushed her hair and said, "It's a little hot, can you tie up my hair."

This kind of touched Shi Yan's blind spot.

He put down his laptop, looked at the hair tie that Zheng Shuyi handed over for a long while, before finally raising his hand.

Zheng Shuyi sat with her back towards him and pain came from her hair being pulled from time to time.

"Ouch, be more gentle, gentle!"

"Ouch! It hurts!"

Although Zheng Shuyi had been yelling the whole time, Shi Yan didn't say anything. He did this task inadequately without a trace of indifference on his face.

It took him several minutes just to tie a loose ponytail. Although he didn't show any impatience, he didn't say anything either and continued to look at his laptop.

Zheng Shuyi was condemned by a trace of conscience in his silence.

She quietly looked around the room, then touched his forearm with her elbow.

"You can continue with work, I'll go take a bath and sleep first okay?"

Shi Yan didn't even raise his head as he replied, "Mm."

Zheng Shuyi: ""

How come this person couldn't understand the meanings under the surface of her words?

"What I meant is" Zheng Shuyi said quietly, "Where do I sleep?"

Shi Yan's fingertips stopped on the touch screen and looked at her. His eyes showed the words "why are you asking such a useless question?"

"What do you think?"

Zheng Shuyi slowly turned her head away. She wasn't panicking, her face was just a little red.

She knew that she was asking while knowing the answer.

"Then I'll go take a bath now."

She stood up and quickly went to the bathroom.

"Shuyi."

Shi Yan suddenly called to stop her.

She felt a hunch as she stopped, but didn't look back.

"What is it?"

The voice sounded calmly behind her.

"Did the doctor say that you need someone to help you with your bath too?"
