Then, the topic ran out again.
Xi Jia felt the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Mo Yushen couldn't help but ask with concern, "Was training tiring today?"
Xi Jia was slightly taken aback. She felt that such a tone was unusual for someone she was meeting for the first time. Could it be that he... had a crush on her?
She smiled faintly, "Not tired. I'm used to it."
Xi Jia glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and found that he was still looking at her. "If you're going to get rid of the smell of alcohol, you should go inside soon. It's cold outside. I'll go in first."
She had just lifted her foot, before she could take a step, when she was pulled back by a force.
Mo Yushen wrapped his arms around her.
Xi Jia was stunned. Only when she got closer could she see the hormones in his eyes, the domineering look in his gaze, and a hint of intoxication in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
It's intoxicating.
A few seconds later, Xi Jia instinctively tried to break free, but when her hand touched his chest, she didn't push him away.
She didn't know if it was his embrace, his gaze, or even the familiar aroma of the wine, but she didn't feel any aversion to it.
In Xi Jia's existing memory, this was the first time she had been so intimate with a man other than her family. Even her usually aloof personality had become passionate.
"Mo..." Mr.
He only uttered one word.
Mo Yushen's lips covered his.
Xi Jia's heart was pounding.
She narrowed her eyes. "You lecherous woman. You've fallen. There were so many people around, the housekeeper, the security guards, all just a dozen meters away. Why didn't you shout?"
Before the kiss could deepen, they were illuminated by the bright headlights of a car.
The lights were blinding, and Mo Yushen shielded Xi Jia's eyes with his hand.
Upon seeing people kissing in the parking lot, the driver quickly pulled over and turned off the engine.
Xi Jia turned her head and saw that it was Ji Qingyuan's car.
She whispered to Mo Yushen, "Don't say anything. If my older brother finds out about you... he'll fight you to the death." She let go of Mo Yushen and ran towards Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan got out of the car and felt that he had returned at an inopportune time.
Xi Jia ran up to Ji Qingyuan, took his arm, and whispered, "Big brother, I just forcibly kissed your friend. What should we do?"
A few seconds of silence.
Ji Qingyuan said casually, "It's nothing. He's going to stay at our house for a while, so consider it payment for rent."
Xi Jia: "..."
Mo Yushen opened the car door, took his phone, walked over, and greeted Ji Qingyuan.
Seeing that he was dressed thinly and had no coat in his hand, Ji Qingyuan asked, "Did you leave your clothes outside?"
Jiang Qin wiped away his tears, and he decided not to wear it anymore.
Mo Yushen: "It's left at the clubhouse."
Xi Jia still felt the atmosphere was awkward, so she made an excuse to go to the car to get something and distanced herself from them.
Standing in front of the car, she let out a long sigh.
She drank juice tonight and is a little tipsy now.
She started writing domineering CEO novels when she was a teenager, and after more than ten years, the scene of her first kiss that she had fantasized about came true.
Even now, the warmth of Mo Yushen still lingers on her lips.
Ye Qiu once asked her what kind of person she was looking for.
She said it was probably lost.
Before Mo Yushen appeared, she couldn't imagine what kind of person she wanted to find. Now she had a concrete image of him.
"Jia, what are you doing?" Ji Qingyuan's voice came.
Xi Jia snapped out of her daze. "Coming." She had nothing to take and turned back to the villa.
Ji Qingyuan and Mo Yushen were in the living room, chatting about work.
Xi Jia couldn't understand, so she poured them two glasses of warm water and brought them over.
Ji Qingyuan drank water poured by his sister for the first time, thanks to Mo Yushen.
Xi Jia lingered in the living room for a while, feeling like she was no longer herself.
"Big brother, I'm going back to my room to write the script."
Ji Qingyuan: "It's too late, go to sleep early."
Xi Jia glanced at Mo Yushen again before going upstairs.
Sitting at the table, Xi Jia felt a moment of confusion. She couldn't understand some of her own actions. Given her personality, she shouldn't have defended Mo Yushen like that tonight.
Even if he is good-looking and fits her aesthetic, it's so impolite and disrespectful for him to kiss her on their first meeting when they don't know each other at all.
A man like that can never be the male lead in her story.
Ironically, she even found an excuse to help him out of a predicament with his older brother.
She pressed her temples, her mind becoming increasingly confused.
Xi Jia closed her laptop, took a shower, and went to bed.
The room was pitch black when the lights were turned off.
Xi Jia is having trouble sleeping. Her mind is filled with thoughts of Mo Yushen.
This was her first kiss, and in a sense, he was her first love. Because in that instant when he held her in his arms, she experienced what it meant to be moved.
Xi Jia pulled the blanket up and covered her eyes. "Se Se, you're having a mental breakdown."
She probably read too many domineering CEO novels, and she started to develop a split personality.
Half an hour passed, and she was still not sleepy at all.
Xi Jia turned on the light, got up, put on some pajamas, grabbed her phone, and went downstairs. If she didn't talk to Mo Yushen tonight, she knew she'd be up all night.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom must be where the eldest brother lives, and the second bedroom should be where Mo Yushen lives. She knocked on the door gently, and soon the door opened.
Xi Jia was taken aback; it was Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan: "What's wrong? Come in and talk."
Xi Jia: "Is it convenient?" Just a moment ago, she imagined a lot of things.
Ji Qingyuan frowned. "Is there something inconvenient?"
Xi Jia craned her neck to look inside, making sure Mo Yushen wasn't there. Ji Qingyuan patted her head, "What are you thinking about all day?"
Xi Jia wasn't looking for Ji Qingyuan in the first place, and she didn't have anything to say to him right now, so she just asked a random question to brush it off: "By the way, is Mo Yushen single?"
Ji Qingyuan nodded, "No romantic experience."
It turns out that tonight was also his first kiss.
Xi Jia: "Big brother, go to sleep early, don't stay up late, goodnight."
Ji Qingyuan rubbed her head, but instead of taking her back to her bedroom and talking to her for a while as he used to, he closed the door.
Xi Jia pretended to go upstairs, but after a few steps, she tiptoed back. It turned out that Mo Yushen lived in the master bedroom. She went to the innermost room and gently knocked on the door.
At first, Mo Yushen thought he had misheard, but then he stopped working and focused on the noise coming from the doorway. It was a knocking sound.
He got up and went to open the door.
Xi Jia, dressed in her pony costume, said, "I'd like to chat with you for a bit, is that convenient?"
Mo Yushen nodded, gesturing for her to come in. He then closed the door behind him.
"Oops." Xi Jia turned around, her ponytail caught in the door crack, unable to move.
Mo Yushen: "..." He opened the door wider and said, "Sorry."
Xi Jia took her ponytail and twirled it around her fingertips.
Mo Yushen looked at the single horn on her head and really wanted to hug her.
The two were standing, less than two meters apart.
"I'm sorry." He apologized for his irrational behavior that evening.
Xi Jia didn't reply, unsure of what to say. She looked at him, "I'm here to ask you something. You knew me before, have we met before?"
He paused for a moment, then said, "I feel like I've known you for a long time. But tonight is the first time we've met. It's quite strange. I'm thinking, maybe we've met before, but it was just a fleeting encounter, and I don't remember you well."
Mo Yushen's loneliness that night was healed by her words, "We've known each other for a long time."
Even if she didn't like him before, that was in the past. He comforted himself with this thought.
She remembered the sycamore-lined path, the roasted sweet potato shop, and even the photocopy of his ID card that she had put in her pocket.
Mo Yushen: "I've seen you in the stands at the stadium."
It turns out they had never met.
Xi Jia smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you, goodnight."
Mo Yushen blurted out, "Cover yourself up properly." Then, realizing his mistake, he added, "Your older brother says you always kick off the covers."
Xi Jia was slightly taken aback. Really? She herself didn't know. But she nodded nonetheless.
That night, Xi Jia didn't sleep well. Before falling asleep, she kept thinking about how Mo Yushen had kissed her in the courtyard. But when dawn broke, she remembered nothing at all.
I don't remember meeting Zhou Mingqian this weekend, nor do I remember anything about last night with Mo Yushen.
She still lives one day at a time, forgetting the next. She uses past memories to make a living.
Xi Jia looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she had dark circles under her eyes. She must have stayed up all night writing the script.
She has a blind date tonight, and when it comes down to it, looks can't always be relied upon.
Xi Jia pondered for a moment, then hurriedly went downstairs.
