After bringing the pot of sweet potatoes to the dining table, Jing Ci felt that Tao Mingzhuo's mood suddenly became much brighter.

During the entire dinner, he hardly touched the other dishes on the table. He just happily peeled sweet potatoes one after another and stuffed them into his mouth with big mouthfuls.

Jing Ci also tasted one after him, feeling a little confused.

Because these are just very ordinary sweet potatoes, and I don’t know if they were cooked under insufficient heat. One or two of them seemed to be unevenly heated and were in a half-cooked state.

But because Tao Mingzhuo ate so much, Jing Ci followed him and ate a lot. In the end, the two of them finished the big pot of sweet potatoes together.

Too many things happened on this day, and both of them were in a state of no real sense at this time.

Tao Mingzhuo left suddenly in the afternoon, leaving only a few unclear words.

Although Tao Mingzhuo promised Jing Ci that he would eventually go home, after he left, Jing Ci could not help but become absent-minded.

He found that he couldn't focus on anything, whether it was working or cooking sweet potatoes in the kitchen, all that came to his mind was Tao Mingzhuo's face.

Jing Ci realized that she was actually afraid that Tao Mingzhuo would regret it.

After Tao Mingzhuo returned home and gave himself the oil painting, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

Jing Ci's mood was still not calm at this time, but he knew that Tao Mingzhuo, who was sitting opposite him, was turning redder every time he said another word.

Jing Ci decided to give each other some time to digest, so after dinner, he took the initiative to say good night to Tao Mingzhuo.

Tao Mingzhuo hesitated for a moment and then said "Okay".

The next day, after the two had breakfast and were preparing to go out, Tao Mingzhuo saw the oil painting at the entrance.

The entrance is not like a bedroom or a study. It is a place where outsiders can see it at a glance. Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment after seeing the painting and asked: "You... want to put this painting Here?"

Jing Ci raised her eyes and looked at him, nodding: "Can't you?"

Tao Mingzhuo's ears turned red, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally he cleared his throat.

He felt that Jing Ci really liked this painting, so he chose to place it in such a place, so he couldn't help but feel proud: "It's nothing, it's just relatively rare, because generally few people put their own paintings in the entrance hall. Portraits, but if you like it, that's not impossible..."

Jing Ci thought thoughtfully, nodded after a moment, and said warmly: "It turns out there are so many things to pay attention to, so when I come back tonight, I'll transfer it to In the study room."

Tao Mingzhuo: "...?"

He immediately coughed heavily and stammered to Jing Ci: "Actually, there is nothing special about arranging paintings, just follow your own preferences. So I think you should not move it, just put it here first..."

Jing Ci looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Tao Mingzhuo's Adam's apple twitched, feeling as if he was about to be seen through by Jing Ci in the next second. He turned away and avoided his sight in a panic: "Let's go, I'm going to be... late."

Facts Tao Mingzhuo didn't look at his watch at all, he just made a random excuse to change the subject, so the two of them arrived at the company more than 20 minutes earlier than usual today.

They also took a car to the company together in the morning before, and then took the elevator from the underground garage to the floor where they worked. However, today, their moods were very different from before.

This is particularly evident in Tao Mingzhuo.

When a young boy falls in love for the first time, he cannot suppress his inner excitement. He is afraid that if he does or says too much, he will appear attentive, but he cannot help but want to get close to the person he likes.

Even though he had gotten a positive answer last night, Tao Mingzhuo still wanted to ask Jing Ci "Are we together now?" But he was afraid that he would bore him by asking Jing Ci over and over again, so now Tao Mingzhuo I really want to do something to indirectly determine the relationship between the two.

Something only couples do.

The elevator door began to close. Jing Ci had just finished choosing the floor they were going to, when he felt the person next to him touch his hand vaguely. The force was so light that it was difficult to detect. He didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional. .

Jing Ci was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Tao Mingzhuo beside him, and found that he was looking at the advertisement beside him intently and not looking at her.

Jing Ci didn't take it seriously and thought it was because the space in the elevator was relatively narrow and the two of them were standing close together, so their hands accidentally touched each other.

The elevator began to rise slowly, and just when the floor number jumped to "2", Jing Ci felt that her hand was touched by the person next to her again.

The first time might have been unintentional, but the second time it was definitely intentional.

Because this time it was not just a simple touch, the young man beside him even gently rubbed Jing Ci's hand with the back of his hand at the moment when their hands touched, so the thoughts in the owner's heart , all clearly exposed through these small actions of his.

Jing Ci finally understood his hint.

An extremely clumsy temptation. Jing Ci suppressed her smile and took the initiative to hold Tao Mingzhuo's hand that was trying to secretly retract.

The moment the two people's hands touched, Jing Ci felt that her hand was immediately tightly wrapped by the young man beside her, leaving no gaps.

The young man beside him still didn't look at him.

The roots of his ears were slightly red, he pursed his lips, and continued to stare at the advertisement next to him nonchalantly, as if he was trying to decipher the text on it.

But Tao Mingzhuo's emotions were always written on his face, so even though he kept trying to keep a straight face and not speak, Jing Ci could still see the excitement and smile on his face.

Jing Ci felt as if there was a big fluffy tail behind Tao Mingzhuo.

Just because he was able to hold his hand as he wished, his big tail swung very fast, and he seemed to be flying with joy, so pure and adorable.

Tao Mingzhuo has a big frame, so his hands are one size larger than Jing Ci's. His palms are hot, and a thin layer of sweat has formed, covering the back of Jing Ci's hands warmly.

Jing Ci smiled and lowered her eyes, letting him hold her hand like this.

Tao Mingzhuo was so beautiful that he was quiet for a while. In order to show that his mood did not fluctuate greatly, he chose to talk dryly: "Today... we have a meeting in the afternoon. The meeting is about to start, but the main artist usually delays it for a long time, so I don’t know when it will end.”

“Maybe it will be late,” he thought for a while and said to Jing Ci, “So you can come out to me later. Or wait for me to send you a message before you come out. Don't wait outside for too long." He

didn't know if it was Jing Ci's imagination, but he always felt as if Tao Mingzhuo was looking at him helplessly. Although he said, "Don't wait outside for too long," the implication was that he was indirectly reminding himself, "You have to wait for me to go home with you."

Jing Ci said: "Okay."

The elevator continued to rise slowly. Because the two arrived at the company relatively early today, there were only two of them in the elevator. The elevator's rising speed was relatively stable, and it did not stop at other floors on the way.

There were still a few floors to go to Tao Mingzhuo's office floor. Jing Ci noticed that the young man beside him raised his eyes and glanced at the number of floors displayed on the screen.

Then Tao Mingzhuo paused and let go of the hands the two were holding in advance.

Jing Ci was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. He lowered his head and curled his fingers slightly.

He is still relatively timid, he thought.

When he raised his head again, Jing Ci found Tao Mingzhuo staring at his face.

The moment he met Jing Ci's gaze, Tao Mingzhuo seemed to hesitate, and then Jing Ci heard him say in a loud voice: "I, I'm almost there."

Jing Ci was stunned for a moment, thinking that Tao Mingzhuo was explaining. He had just let go early, so he rolled his eyes at him and said, "Yes, I know, let's go."

Tao Mingzhuo said "yes", but still stared at Jing Ci's face without looking away.

Jing Ci felt that Tao Mingzhuo might want to say some more words of farewell, so after thinking for a moment, she raised her face slightly and proactively said to him, "See you in the evening."

Tao Mingzhuo nodded slowly.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived at the floor where Tao Mingzhuo's office area was located. However, Tao Mingzhuo never replied "See you in the evening" to Jingci.

Jing Ci was confused.

However, just a few seconds before the elevator door opened, Tao Mingzhuo suddenly took a deep breath, as if he had made a great determination, and walked up to Jing Ci with a blushing face -

then he leaned over with a blushing face. He leaned down and kissed Jing Ci's cheek awkwardly and greenly.

This cheek kiss seemed to have been brewing for a long time. It was obviously as quick as a dragonfly, but when it was kissed, it made a "pop" sound, which sounded particularly clear and loud in the quiet elevator space.

The elevator door opened, the young man straightened up and took a step back in panic.

Because his eyes were always on Jing Ci's face, he didn't notice that the door behind him was not fully opened, so he subconsciously stepped back.

So the next second, Jing Ci watched helplessly as his head hit the half-open elevator door heavily, making a dull "thunk" sound.

Jing Ci: "You-"

Tao Mingzhuo didn't expect that the price of a secret kiss would be so high. He immediately covered his head in pain, took a few steps back, and walked out of the elevator door.

It was obvious that he was in severe pain from being hit on his head, but because he was afraid that Jing Ci would worry about him, he immediately put down the hand covering his head and waved to Jing Ci: "I, I'm fine."

The young man had a lot of hair, and My hair is fluffy, so it looks a little messy at the moment. But his eyes were wet, staring brightly at Jing Ci's face.

A second before the elevator door closed, Jing Ci saw the young man narrow his eyes. He blushed, grinned, and gave himself a bright smile.

"Then I'm leaving!" Jing Ci heard him say to herself in a loud voice, "See you in the evening!"

The elevator door closed little by little.

After a moment of confusion, Jing Ci finally realized what had just happened. He smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand and wiped the saliva from his face with the back of his hand.
