He drove a sports car over to show off his wealth. How could a white-collar worker like her, who earned a basic salary, be embarrassed?
"Ah, it's your first day at work. I'm here to treat you to a meal to celebrate!" He replied with an innocent look on his face, still looking carefree. "The food is all bought and in the trunk. Chef Tong, don't you want to show your respect?"
"You!" Tong Yao blushed angrily, there was nothing he could do to him
She swore that Qin Qiaotian was the most shameless person she had ever seen. His entry into politics was a disgrace to the country's party and government agencies! Even if he was stingy, he would start by buying groceries...
"Tong Yao, just make do with it!" He said lazily, holding her hand and stuffing her into the car. At the same time, he deliberately angered her, "We are all people who earn a small salary. Don't think about going there every day.
For big hotels, it’s the most economical to cook it yourself!”
"Qin Qiaotian, you..." Her angrily scolding was cut off by the sound of his slamming the door shut in the car.
He walked around and opened the door with a slight smile, but there was a touch of indescribable satisfaction in the corner of his mouth - he thought this was very good, although there were many deliberate disguises, but she was having fun with him again, wasn't it?
The simple apartment with one bedroom and one living room was filled with the simple fragrance of rice as usual. Qin Qiaotian was the only one at the dinner table talking non-stop. This would never make Tong Yao feel bored, it would only make her feel...
…bother!
After dinner, he uncharacteristically stayed around. He connected a game card to her TV and occupied her sofa to play games.
"Don't you have a TV at home?" Tong Yao kicked him, but he broke through the barrier and had more fun. Almost all of him was lying in front of the screen, and he treated Tong Yao like nothing.
"Playing with things is so frustrating!" Tong Yao sighed loudly, ignored him, and went back to the bedroom to pack his luggage.
Going to Venice, she has to bring enough things for her flight tomorrow morning!
The sound of successful games outside was endless, which gave Tong Yao a moment of illusion - as if he had returned to the big house many years ago. He was playing games upstairs and disturbed her to review. She threw the reference book out in anger, and then went down to pick it up.
When she was there, she met the man who was as calm as water and asked her gently: "Would you like a drink too?"
She sniffed, feeling an unspeakable sourness in her heart.
"Tong Yao, call me uncle..."
"Uncle, can I like you?"
"Uncle..."
"..."
Chaotic memories rushed into her mind. Her nose felt sour, and she happened to hear the sound of breaking through the gate again. She immediately turned around angrily and wanted to turn off the power, but the moment she raised her foot - "pop"
With a sound, the whole room went dark, and the world suddenly became silent.
"What's going on?" She muttered and went out, but she accidentally tripped over the suitcase that had just been placed in the center, and immediately fell down awkwardly. The pain made her gasp in the dark.
The sound of her falling "ping ping ping ping pong" attracted Qin Qiaotian outside. He rushed in the next second and supported her accurately: "Be careful."
"Hiss..." There was still a dull pain in his ankle. Tong Yao shivered and then suddenly discovered a fact, "How can you see?"
"I used to train in the army," he replied lightly, leaned over and picked her up, put her on the sofa outside, and then rummaged through something in the bag.
Tong Yao pursed his lips, finally adapting to the darkness in the room, and couldn't help complaining: "Tell me, did the fuse trip this time or was there a power outage?"
"There's a power outage," Qin Qiao said smoothly, took out a glass cup from his bag, and lit the wax inside with a lighter - this was a beautiful handicraft, the transparent glass cup was decorated to look like the underwater world.
It is also covered with wax, which can be used as candle lighting, which is very sentimental...
"You carry this with you?" she was surprised.
"No, I bought it specifically." He didn't intend to hide it from her, and touched his nose, "Today there was a power outage in your area. I met people from the power supply station during the day, and they mentioned it to me."
When he learned the news, he was worried that she was afraid of the dark, so he deliberately came to her place to "take some time" to accompany her.
Of course, he will not tell her this truth!
"Power outage, bad luck..." Tong Yao muttered and complained, looking blankly at the flickering candlelight. She was in a daze when she suddenly felt a warmth on her back. His big hands wrapped around her from behind and hugged her tightly.
"Ah!" She trembled with fright and shouted, "Qin Qiaotian, what are you doing?"
"I'm afraid of the dark..." He simply leaned his head up and buried it in her hair, his nose filled with her fragrance, "Tong Yao, please let me hug you."
Hearing the hug that had nothing to do with any emotional factors made Tong Yao give up his struggle, but he didn't notice the look of satisfaction on his face - Tong Yao, let's just get closer like this...
One day you will accept me completely
"You're a grown man, and you're still afraid of the dark..." She murmured in a low voice. She didn't scream until she heard even breathing from the back of her neck, "Qin Qiaotian, aren't you afraid of the dark?
