The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 533 A Night of Passion (Final) Passionate? Heartless? The Countdown to a Beautiful Night

"Hey, Lanlan, what's wrong?"

The entrance to Love Apartment 3904.

Wen Sheng was answering Nuolan's call, while Xinling silently opened the door in front of him.

“Honey, Lisa just called me. She told me that Zeng Xiaoxian’s bonus has really been frozen.”

"is it?"

Xinling pushed open the door, and he followed her in, but said into the phone, "He came back today with a lot of gifts. He doesn't look like he didn't get his bonus."

“Maybe he was too embarrassed to say it,” Nolan continued on the phone. “Lisa said that his attitude when fulfilling the contract was bad, and after recording two episodes, it got worse and worse, so the production team froze his bonus.”

"Oh? That's really unlucky of him."

"However, according to Lisa, although the prize money is frozen, it can still be unfrozen, which depends on Zeng Xiaoxian's performance later."

After a pause, Nolan added, "But Lisa didn't tell Zeng Xiaoxian this."

"..."

Wen Sheng immediately understood; Lisa Rong, that old sadist, wanted to take this opportunity to further discipline Zeng M!
However, since the other party told Nuolan, it's impossible that they didn't consider their relationship as Zeng Xiaoxian's roommate.

Hmm... I guess Lisa Rong hopes Zeng Xiaoxian will cooperate with her more.

I'm a veteran player.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Sheng said, "I can't tell Zeng Xiaoxian for now. He hasn't even mentioned that his bonus has been frozen yet. If I tell him in advance, wouldn't that be undermining him?"

Wen Sheng, sitting on the sofa, was on the phone while looking around at Xin Ling's place. Xin Ling, who had just returned, had already made a cup of tea and brought it over.

'Thanks. ’

Wen Sheng mouthed the words as he accepted the tea.

Xinling smiled faintly, turned around and brought over some pastries and washed fruit that were left at home, and then took out a pair of brand new men's slippers from the room.

For some reason, watching Wen Sheng and Nuolan on the phone right now, she had a feeling that she had finally seduced someone else's husband into her own home... to have an affair.

Although that's what she thought too.

Well, it wasn't just her; Wen Sheng also had this strange feeling when he saw Xin Ling running around silently after entering the house.

This feeling intensified, especially when Xinling quickly took away his old shoes and placed them by the door after he changed into slippers.

I'm still on the phone with Nuolan!
This scene of someone having an affair at their mistress's house feels way too familiar, doesn't it?
"Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to Zeng Xiaoxian about it later, umm..."

After chatting with Ms. Nuo on the other end of the phone for a while, Wen Sheng finally hung up.

At this moment, Xinling, who had been working non-stop since returning, also came over and sat down on the sofa. Seeing that Wensheng had finished his call, she replaced the slightly cold tea in front of him with hot tea.

"Xinling, you're being too polite," Wen Sheng said with a smile. "When you came to my place earlier, you didn't even sit down."

"It's ok."

Xinling chuckled and shook her head, then asked somewhat shyly, "Brother Wensheng, how did you know... I live here?"

"is it hard?"

After taking a sip of tea, Wen Sheng chuckled and said, "There's always someone secretly spying on me near my apartment. Do you think I wouldn't notice after all this time?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xinling's face immediately turned red.

"Wh...what spying! I just...just...looked at you."

Wen Sheng smiled, not caring whether there was a difference.

After thinking for a moment, Xinling asked again, "Then... Brother Wensheng, why didn't you say anything when you found out?"

"Since you didn't take the initiative to tell me, I figured you had some unspeakable secret, so I didn't want to bring it up."

"No...nothing I can't say."

Xinling initially denied it, then hesitated before saying, "I'm just afraid you'll be angry if you find out I live here too."

"Why should I be angry?"

Wen Sheng pretended not to know, and then explained, "I'm not the landlord here. You can rent here if you want."

"But……"

Xinling wanted to say something more, but the words wouldn't come out.

After pausing for a while, she thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wensheng, would you like me to continue living here?"

"Ok?"

Wen Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly. This little girl's cunning...

Xinling knew that asking this question might be inappropriate, so she explained, "This apartment was sublet to me by a sub-landlord, but the lease is only for a few months. The sub-landlord will be back soon, and then I will have to consider whether to move out or rent another place here."

This Cupid's Star has been spinning for so long, but it hasn't been very useful. If there's no progress before the lease expires, then I'll just have to move to... a place with better feng shui.

After hearing Xinling's explanation, Wensheng nodded, knowing what she was struggling with.

However, he didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "So, you're renting this suite all by yourself, isn't the rent a lot of pressure?"

"There's not much pressure about that. I only pay 20% of the rent right now."

Then Cyndi recounted how she rented the house in the first place.

"The Heart of Cupid?"

"..."

Seeing Wen Sheng's strange look, Xin Ling blushed and lowered her head, saying, "That sub-landlord made up that story just to sublet the house. I only rented it because it was cheap."

Wen Sheng smiled and didn't bring it up further, instead saying, "But if your lease expires and you continue renting here, the rent will be a huge burden."

"It's ok."

Xinling lowered her head and said no more after saying those three words, but Wen Sheng understood the meaning behind them all too well.

But what could he say?

Sometimes Wen Sheng feels quite helpless. When he tries to tone it down a bit, all sorts of "tests" appear around him.

For example, someone like Laura.

I'm not a cadre, how could I not withstand such a test?

But someone like Cyndi Wang...

Just as a scumbag's heart can always be stirred by a virtuous woman, Wen Sheng sometimes can't help but feel sad.

I'm not grieving for myself, but for Ms. Noah...

The atmosphere in the living room fell silent, and a different meaning gradually permeated the silence.

Seeing that Wen Sheng hadn't spoken, Xin Ling said, "Brother Wen Sheng, you said in the elevator that you wanted to stay at my place for the night, is that true?"

"Yes." Wen Sheng nodded, but still asked, "Is it convenient?"

"That's convenient, then I'll go and prepare another room for you."

Xinling's face lit up with joy. She didn't ask why the other person couldn't stay downstairs. Just as she was about to get up, she remembered something and said shyly in a low voice, "Brother Wensheng, or you could... or you could... sleep in my room. I meant what I said about repaying you back then."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Sheng almost lost his composure; this test was truly a constant struggle.

"No, I'll just sleep on the sofa."

Dear Ms. Nuo, you have no idea what I've refused for your sake. Next time, I'll make sure you thank me properly!
Hearing Wen Sheng's answer, Xin Ling was a little disappointed, but the other party's refusal did not surprise her. However, she still said, "I can tidy up another room. I don't need to sleep on the sofa."

"No, I'll still sleep on the sofa. I'm not in good health. I get cold when the air conditioner is on, and I get hot when it's off. I can enjoy the breeze from the balcony from the living room."

"But……"

"If it really doesn't work out, then I'll leave."

"Don't!"

Xinling pouted, but since Wen Sheng had already said that, what else could she do?

"Alright, it's getting late, you should get some rest."

When Wen Sheng returned to his apartment today, he didn't expect to go through this ordeal. He didn't necessarily want to stay at Xin Ling's place for one night.

The couples in the apartment building are about to experience what could be considered a romantic connection tonight, and being alone downstairs feels a bit awkward. What if they ask me to help them unlock the door? Should I help them or not?

Oh right, thinking of this, Wen Sheng, who was lying on the sofa quietly watching TV, took out his phone and turned it off, just in case they needed to call for help.

"Click——"

A while later, the bathroom door of the suite opened, and Xinling, who had just finished showering and changed into her pajamas, came out with her hair still wet.

"Brother Wensheng, do you want to take a bath?"

Cyndi asked, wrapping her hair in a towel.

"Never mind, I didn't bring any clothes with me anyway," Wen Sheng said, shaking his head. "I'll just stay here for the night."

"Ok."

Xinling's eyes flickered a few times before she said nothing more and went back to her room to dry her hair.

Looking at the other person's figure, Wen Sheng couldn't help but sigh. In just two days, he had witnessed two women taking a bath and emerging from the shower under the same roof.

Cyndi and Laura's performances were completely opposite.

Although the two women's goals were similar—both wanted to sleep with him—their philosophies were completely opposite: one was too traditional, and the other... was too progressive.

As for myself... I'm actually a traditional man.

……

As night deepened, everything in the apartment gradually quieted down.

Until the moon rose above the treetops, the sporadic car horns outside the window gradually became a rare, infrequent sound—

"Crack!"

A slight sound of a door opening rang out, and Xinling peeked her head out from the crack in the bedroom door.

The living room was quiet and dark, with only faint moonlight streaming in from the French windows, casting a blurry shadow on the sofa.

After observing silently for a long time, Xinling opened the door a little wider and walked over barefoot, carrying a thin blanket in her hand.

After tiptoeing to the sofa and observing the sleeping Wen Sheng up close, Xinling didn't rush to cover him with the blanket. Instead, she leaned closer to him.

Xinling tossed and turned in bed for so long, unable to fall asleep, and she was really unwilling to let the night pass by so uneventfully.

If I was sleeping alone in my room before Wen Sheng came, and I'm still sleeping alone in my room after Wen Sheng came, then Wen Sheng's trip was for nothing?
However, the courage she had mustered vanished the moment she got so close to the other person.

The living room was eerily quiet; Xinling could practically hear her own heartbeat… No!
Xinling quickly closed her eyes and gently exhaled. She had a heart condition and didn't want to have an attack at this time. What difference would that make her any different from those guys in history who died of pleasure on a woman's belly?
No, my situation and Wen Sheng's situation are even worse than those guys'!

After closing her eyes and letting her mind wander to distract herself, Xinling felt her heartbeat gradually stabilize before slowly opening her eyes.

After gazing quietly at the sleeping man before her for a while in the moonlight, Xinling sighed silently, then lowered her head and gently kissed him once, twice, three times…

More than ten seconds later, she stood up and looked at Wen Sheng, who was still fast asleep. Xinling felt a little regretful.

But she turned and left. However, after taking only two steps, she remembered something and turned back to cover Wen Sheng with the thin blanket in her hand.

"I don't know if she was really asleep or just pretending."

After muttering something to herself, Xinling went straight back to her room. Even after lying down on the bed, she still looked a little confused.

Because she really couldn't tell whether Wen Sheng was truly asleep or pretending.

It would be a shame if the other person was actually asleep, but it would be perfect if they were pretending to be asleep.

It's not that if the other person is pretending to be asleep, more things can happen between us. But if Brother Wensheng is pretending to be asleep, then the fact that he didn't stop me from kissing him for so long just now means that he accepts... or at least doesn't object to us taking our relationship a step further, right?
If the other person is really asleep, then besides kissing them for a while, there's nothing else to gain.

Sigh! It's a pity I really can't tell if Brother Wensheng is asleep or not.

……

next morning.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Youyou, who was lying on Guan Gu's bed, was instantly awakened. She looked up and saw sunlight streaming in through the open door. Her boyfriend, Guan Gu, was standing in the sunlight, holding a hammer.

"Look, the door is open!"

Tang Youyou, who had played Mario games with Guan Gu until late last night before falling asleep, was feeling a bit dazed.

But just like my boyfriend said, the door opened, which is a good thing.

After last night, their relationship has taken another step closer.

After tidying up, Guan Gu and Youyou hurriedly went out to open the door to Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia's room. Seeing that no one was inside, they went to check on room 3601.

Upon entering, I was immediately taken aback by the pile of gifts stacked in the living room.

"Sister Yifei?! Teacher Wen?!"

Tang Youyou knocked on the door for a long time but heard no response. Just as she was about to ask her boyfriend for help, she noticed that he was suspiciously walking towards the study.

"The doorknob in the study is gone too!"

Guan Gu's words instantly caught Tang Youyou's attention. She hurried down the stairs and went to the study door to listen. Although she didn't hear anything, she quickly reached the same conclusion as Guan Gu.

"boom!"

Another loud bang, and the study door was also torn down.

When the two rushed in, they found Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian lying haphazardly on the floor.

"Teacher Zeng? When did he get back?"

Tang Youyou looked on in surprise and asked, "Why is he lying next to Sister Yifei?!"

"Never mind that for now. They must have been harmed by Ziqiao and Meijia too. Let's get them out of here quickly."

Although he knew that Teacher Zeng had returned to Shanghai, Guan Gu did not expect that Teacher Zeng would return to the apartment last night and be locked in the study with Yi Fei!

So after waking them up, each person helped one of them out of the study.

"Where am I?" Hu Yifei, still hungover from a night of drinking, was a little confused.

Guan Gu couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Zeng, what did you do last night?"

"What did I do? I don't remember, I just remember there were cockroaches," Zeng Xiaoxian mumbled, then subconsciously touched his head. "Ouch, that hurts. What's this bump on my head?"

"My head hurts too!" Hu Yifei sat down on the sofa, then added, "What cockroach? That was clearly a rat! I even hit it with a wrench!"

"..."

Guan Gu's expression shifted, and he subconsciously thought of Godzilla, the cockroach rat.

Could it be that cockroaches or rats attacked them?
That shouldn't be the case; Godzilla couldn't possibly have attacked Hu Yifei!
"By the way, where are Ziqiao, Meijia, and Teacher Wen?" Tang Youyou asked.

The group looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.

"Crack!"

At that moment, the door to room 3601 was pushed open.

"Oh, you're all here! Where were you last night?"

Wen Sheng walked in carrying breakfast and asked in surprise, then looked at Zeng Xiaoxian: "Zeng Xiaoxian, did you go back to the apartment last night?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Wen-san, did you come back last night too?"

"I'm back, but I didn't see you at the apartment. Then I had to go out again."

After placing the breakfast on the table, Wen Sheng said with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, downstairs in her apartment building, Cyndi was happily heading to her studio for work.

"They're here!"

Just then, Tang Youyou, who was opening the French windows, exclaimed in surprise, and the others who were about to have breakfast gathered around.

At the corner of the balcony, Meijia and Ziqiao huddled together, wearing the brand-new suits, except that there was a bright red handprint on Lu Ziqiao's face.

"Today is wonderful. I wish time could stand still."

Tang Youyou suddenly sighed.

What no one in the apartment expected was that the beauty in those words would soon become the happiness that everyone longed for but could not attain.

We almost ended up being separated by death.
