Previous | Table of Contents | Next

This was Tao Mingzhuo's first time kissing someone.

He couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned. He only felt that he was very hot. His skin was very hot and his body was very hot. The cake he had just eaten seemed to have turned into a ball of hot flames.

Tao Mingzhuo felt that his heartbeat was very hot. quick.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, always uncontrollably raising his hand secretly to touch his mouth, and then retracting his hand back into the bed like a thief.

In fact, Tao Xue's words at that time had already made Tao Mingzhuo vaguely realize something, and the card inserted on the flowers gave Tao Mingzhuo a push, making him finally clear his mind.

Why does my heart feel as if it’s being clenched tightly by a hand when I see flowers and cakes? Why does I feel so lost when I learn that today is Jing Ci’s birthday and he’s not ready to confess to me——

Because I like Jingci.

From trying to escape when they had dinner together at the beginning, to getting used to being watched by his gentle eyes, and now being uneasy because of his words and deeds, Tao Mingzhuo discovered that unknowingly, Jing Ci had already Become someone you care about very much.

Tao Mingzhuo was very flustered when he realized this fact, but he soon discovered that if "I like Jingci" was used as the premise, then many things that he had never understood seemed to suddenly come to light. That makes sense.

In Tao Mingzhuo's heart, there are many things, such as kissing or hugging, that only those with the closest relationship can do.

Although Jing Ci didn't confess to him, he kissed him. Tao Mingzhuo thought blankly.

In Tao Mingzhuo's eyes, such a kiss was like a silent confession, with even greater impact than a verbal confession.

Tao Mingzhuo was a little happy at first.

But then he became a little anxious again, because although it was Jing Ci who took the initiative to kiss him, he didn't say anything more after the kiss. He just smiled and said "Good night" as if nothing happened. Just like that, he turned around and left.

How could it be a good night? Tao Mingzhuo couldn't understand Jing Ci's thoughts at all. Why did he think he could still sleep after this?

And what is the relationship between myself and Jing Ci now...?

Tao Mingzhuo suddenly realized that in the process of getting along with each other, Jing Ci had always seemed to be the more active one. Every meal they had before, and the request to live together a while ago, including this kiss.

I like Jing Ci, and Jing Ci has always liked me. Tao Mingzhuo thought, why don't I take the initiative to ask him tomorrow what kind of relationship we have now.

After being woken up by the alarm clock the next day, Tao Mingzhuo immediately washed and dressed to make himself fresh, and then went downstairs to the living room.

However, the living room was unusually quiet. Tao Mingzhuo turned around in a circle, but only found Dr. Wen sleeping soundly next to the food bowl in the living room.

Hearing Tao Mingzhuo's footsteps, Dr. Wen's ears twitched slightly, but he continued to sleep, which meant that someone should have fed him a long time ago.

Tao Mingzhuo stood there stunned for a while, and then belatedly realized the fact that Jing Ci was not at home.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and called Jing Ci: "Are you...are you at the company?"

Although the call was connected, there seemed to be some noise on the other side. Tao Mingzhuo was vaguely still... He heard some people communicating in English, and then he heard Jing Ci's voice coming over: "Well, the partners from U country flew over today to sign a contract for a new project. Their plane landed early, so I I rushed over to receive him in advance."

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment: "Oh, that's it."

Another female voice came from Jing Ci's side. It should be his secretary saying something to him. Jing Ci said to Tao Ming. Zhuo said: "Wait a moment."

After a while, Tao Mingzhuo heard Jing Ci's voice again: "Sorry, I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to tell you in advance."

Tao Mingzhuo hesitated. He said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"...Then you get busy first." He paused for a moment, and then added, "We'll see you in the evening."

He heard Jing Ci say a soft "hmm" and said: "See you in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Mingzhuo fell into a state of wandering soul throughout the morning.

Compared to Tao Mingzhuo's embarrassment, Jing Ci on the other end of the phone sounded calm, as if what happened last night had not had any impact on his mood.

At noon, the delicious lemon grilled fish appeared in the cafeteria again, so Yang Kening, Xu Yi and the others headed to the convenience store downstairs.

Tao Mingzhuo was busy revising the manuscript, so he asked them to help bring something casually.

After a while, Yang Kening panted and put the rice on Tao Mingzhuo's workstation: "Here, spicy hot pot with rice. There are so many people in the company's elevator today, so we had to wait several times before we came up."

Tao Mingzhuo He took it, thanked him, and asked casually: "Why are there so many people?"

"I heard that a game company came from somewhere to discuss the project." Yang Kening said, "Anyway, it was a busy time at that time. A group of foreigners, all of whom are three heads taller than you, shocked me."

Xu Yi interjected: "They are from U country, and several of their games have very good reviews in their own country. , I heard that our company is planning to cooperate with their team for the next project."

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned and asked, "Did you just say that they have left?"

Yang Kening said, "Yes, I still read it." When they arrived at Mr. Jing, they should be chatting quite harmoniously. I saw they were talking and laughing, and it was Mr. Jing who sent them out..."

Before Yang Kening could finish the second half of his sentence, he saw Tao Mingzhuo stood up suddenly and walked straight to the direction of the elevator.

"Are you going to eat or not?" Yang Kening shouted at his back, "Then I'll steal two bites of fish and tofu from you first. No response means acquiescence."

Tao Mingzhuo did not look back . , his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Okay, I will continue to follow up with them." Liang Jingjing put the information on the table and said, "Mr. Jing, do you want to take a break first? Do you need me to prepare some lunch for you?

" She immediately raised her hand and covered her mouth with some annoyance: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jing, look at my memory, I forgot..."

Jing Ci took the information and flipped through it. He just smiled when he heard this. He raised his head and said to her: "It doesn't matter. You can go and rest. You have been busy all morning."

Liang Jingjing responded, turned around and walked towards the door of the office with some hesitation.

She was actually a little worried, because for a while, she didn't seem to see that young man who could help Jing Ci come to the office.

The strange thing is that although he doesn't know how Jing Ci has been able to eat these days, Liang Jingjing can feel that his complexion and mental state are visibly better than before.

As soon as he walked out of the office door, Liang Jingjing raised his head and paused in his steps.

Whatever comes to mind. Liang Jingjing looked at the tall young man in the corridor and felt a little surprised.

"Food" came to the door on his own initiative, she thought thoughtfully. From this point of view, Mr. Jing should have been in contact with him for a while.

Because the two had communicated several times before, this time Liang Jingjing stepped forward and asked proactively: "Are you looking for Mr. Jing?"

Before Tao Mingzhuo could speak, Liang Jingjing said with a smile: "Mr. Jing is not here this time." He's in the office during the meeting, you can go directly to him."

Just as Jing Ci turned over the page, he heard some hasty footsteps at the door, and then someone knocked on the door randomly. .

Hearing this movement, it didn't sound like Liang Jingjing. Jing Ci was a little confused, but still said: "Come in."

The next second, Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo gently push the door open, and then cautiously poked his head in.

Meeting Jing Ci's gaze, Tao Mingzhuo froze for a moment, but still pursed his lips, walked into the office, and said dryly, "How about noon."

Jing Ci was stunned for a moment, and said to him Smiling: "Good afternoon."

"Didn't you say I'll see you in the evening?" He put down the documents and asked in a warm voice, "Is there something urgent?"

Tao Mingzhuo's ears were slightly red, but he hesitated: "I, I..."

Jing Ci waited patiently for a while, but Tao Mingzhuo stood in front of him and babbled, never able to form a complete sentence.

Jing Ci observed his expression and seemed to realize something.

He closed the information in his hand, shook his head, and sighed silently in his heart.

Tao Mingzhuo was thinking about how to talk to Jing Ci. He didn't know whether it was more appropriate to remind him tactfully, "You kissed me yesterday!" or to ask directly, "Are we in a relationship now?" "Better.

However, the next second, Tao Mingzhuo heard Jing Ci call his name, and he raised his head blankly.

Jing Ci stared at Tao Mingzhuo's face quietly, and after a while he said, "Actually, I just have something I want to tell you. If you don't mind, let me say it first."

Jing Ci's The tone sounded like he wanted to talk about something more formal. Tao Mingzhuo hesitated for a moment and nodded: "...you say."

He heard Jing Ci softly "hmm".

"Please stay at my house to take care of me these days." Then he saw Jing Ci bending his eyes and said in a gentle tone, "I feel that my body has fully recovered and I won't have any dizziness. Symptoms."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment.

Jing Ci was thanking himself, and there was no problem with that. The problem lay in the tone in which he and Tao Mingzhuo said this.

His tone was too polite, to the point of being a bit unfamiliar, which gave Tao Mingzhuo a vague premonition that something was not good.

Tao Mingzhuo opened his mouth slightly: "I..."

But Jing Ci did not give Tao Mingzhuo a chance to speak, but continued: "I still remember you told me before that your time is actually quite tight. , and have always needed to take care of your parents and sister—"

Tao Mingzhuo's pupils shrank slightly.

"So I think I'm too embarrassed to trouble you any more and will continue to let you live here." He smiled at Tao Mingzhuo.

The smile in Jing Ci's eyes was still gentle and clean. He raised his face and said to Tao Mingzhuo: "Thank you for taking care of me during this period."
