Zhu Xia's heart was beating violently and he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

The girl in his arms looked dazed, her breathing trembling. He Lianzhou held half of her face with his warm palms, rubbed the corners of her moist eyes with his fingertips, and spoke in a low voice with tenderness.

"Having a nightmare?"

Zhu Xia looked into his dark eyes, and her heart gradually returned to normal. She blinked her eyelashes and said with a nasal "hmm", "It's easy to have nightmares when you're hungry."

He Lianzhou laughed: "So should we continue sleeping now, or get up and eat?"

"Let's eat." She slipped away after dinner.

If you get enough sleep, have sufficient energy, a clear mind and are fully rational, you will not be easily shaken.

For a moment, Zhu Xia suspected that she was a scumbag.

But she quickly overturned this statement.

No matter what she does, a powerful man will never give in, so he might as well enjoy it.

Eat when it’s time to eat, drink when it’s time to sleep.

After Zhu Xia finished washing up, He Lianzhou was no longer in the room. While the bedroom was empty, she massaged her thighs and waist.

The soreness probably won’t go away within three to five days.

Zhu Xia walked downstairs in slippers, but her steps were uncontrollably brisk.

When the maid saw her, she immediately said, "Miss Zhu, Mr. He is waiting for you in the restaurant."

Zhu Xia declined the offer of leading the way, asked for directions, and walked slowly. The ends of her black hair that fell to her shoulders fluttered in the light of the incandescent lamp, dotted with broken lights, shining like stars.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and the autumn sun was shining brightly. The sunlight shone through the glass and cast patches of light and shadow on the ground.

He Lianzhou changed into a dark shirt and trousers, and sat on a chair. The scorching sun shone in through the glass window, casting a thin layer of phantom on his broad shoulders. The faint light jumped into his eyes, making his black eyes look deep and bright.

The man looked down as he flipped through the documents in his hand, with headphones hanging on his right ear, as if he was on a conference call. His expression was calm, his eyebrows were indifferent and serious, and he subtly suppressed the atmosphere in the restaurant.

"Miss Zhu." The maid's greeting brought Zhu Xia back to her senses.

She stopped to admire the man at work for a while, then walked inside.

Almost as soon as Zhu Xia stepped into the door, He Lianzhou's eyes involuntarily fell on her.

His subordinate was still giving an orderly project report through the Bluetooth headset. He listened while watching the girl approaching step by step.

The servant pulled out a chair and Zhu Xia sat down calmly.

The servant asked her if Miss Zhu wanted the food to be served now.

Zhu Xia waved her hand and said, "Not for the time being." She asked the servant about the dishes and drinks. The servant first brought her a stack of fruit platters, and then served her desserts, drinks and snacks... She didn't even look at the man opposite her during the whole process.

He Lianzhou ended the conference call and slowly scanned the food in front of Zhu Xia with his deep eyes... There was not a single main dish.

She and he were not on the same page, Zhu Xia was enjoying her afternoon tea happily, so when the chef and servants came in and served the dishes, she felt a little complicated.

However, when the table was set with delicious food and the rich aroma of Chinese food wafted into the air, Zhu Xia's stomach growled uncontrollably.

Working people are flexible. Food and ideas, she chooses the food in front of her.

But the man opposite seemed to have no appetite. He barely moved his chopsticks, tapping the wall of the wine glass with his fingers from time to time, lightly lifting his thin eyelids, and looking at her. His eyes were unfathomable, and it was hard to tell what his emotions were. All that could be known was that he bent his lower lip.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Xia placed her chopsticks elegantly, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, stood up, and said to He Lianzhou in high spirits:

"Thank you. I'm going back."

The man stood up slowly and approached. Zhu Xia looked at him in confusion.

"Answer last night's questions before you leave."

He was much taller than her, and when Zhu Xia bent down, all she saw was him.

The cold woody pine scent wrapped around the base note drowned Zhu Xia's nostrils. The dangerous possession made her want to retreat, but He Lianzhou hooked her neck and brought her back.

The warm orange hue of the autumn afternoon sunlight made the man's eyebrows look lazy, his eyelids slid, and his deep eyes stared straight at her.

"What question? I don't remember." Zhu Xia turned away.

Her face was turned back almost instantly. He Lianzhou stared into those beautiful eyes as clear as black jade and said calmly, "Don't you remember?"

"do not remember."

"Replay it for your remembrance?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zhu Xia said slowly, "I'll go back to the hospital the day after tomorrow."

After hearing the answer, He Lianzhou stood up straight.

Zhu Xia raised his head and looked at him openly for a few seconds. He Lianzhou looked calm, his Adam's apple slid slightly, and he didn't ask any other questions.

"No need to send me off, I can go back by myself." She said, paused, and then said, "Goodbye."

However, when Zhu Xia took two steps towards the restaurant exit, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind her and grabbed the back of her neck with its palm. Zhu Xia was pulled back suddenly while the world was spinning, and the man immediately kissed her fiercely.

The dry lips with a burning breath attacked him overwhelmingly, with strong aggression, Zhu Xia subconsciously pushed his chest.

"What are you doing, mmm..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was kissed again.

The moment their lips touched, all her breath was squeezed out of her and the kiss became more passionate.

The man's attack was direct and fierce. Zhu Xia trembled all over after being sucked. Her red lips opened unconsciously, and he took the opportunity to kiss her deeper, almost biting her.

Compared to the previous kiss, this one didn't last long, and He Lianzhou soon let go of Zhu Xia.

Zhu Xia managed to keep her balance and her legs did not collapse, but her chest was still heaving violently, her breathing was rapid, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were a little blurry.

After leaving the villa and sitting in the car on the way home, Zhu Xia rested her elbows on the edge of the car window and pressed the backs of her fingers against her lips. The numbness from the goodbye kiss still lingered between her lips.

It's so annoying.

Vaguely remembering the fierce struggle last night, she repeatedly touched the small scar on He Lianzhou's waist and abdomen.

The scar on his palm was easily noticeable, but he did not remove it.

The scars hidden on the waist and abdomen were very light and shallow, and looked like they were specially removed. But for some reason, they could not be completely removed.

She remembered that when they were together, he didn't have this mark on his body.

Isn't it a gunshot wound?

Li Baize: "Then I will be responsible for dispersing the crowd for the two young ladies."

Lin Jiayue: "Okay!"

Lin Jiayue: "Sumer, I went to help you deal with the potted plants on the balcony a few days ago, and I found that a new neighbor, a handsome guy, moved in across the street from you!"

Lin Jiayue: "He is polite but cold when dealing with people. He looks at people as if they are garbage. So cold and handsome."

Zhu Xia: "Where did the new neighbor come from?"
