"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, open the door!"
The commotion at the door made it impossible for the conversation to continue. Zhou Zhou walked past Fu Hengzhi, whose face had darkened, and strode towards the door, calling out, "Coming, coming."
When Fu Wen opened the door, she was wearing a new set of pink cotton two-piece pajamas that Aunt Feng had given her. The cut and style were flattering on everyone, and Fu Wen didn't look old-fashioned in them.
"Sister-in-law~" As soon as the door opened, Fu Wen rushed over and buried her head in Zhou Zhou's arms. "Waaah, sister-in-law, what is love? Waaah!"
Zhou Zhou: "?" My sister is in a blind spot.
"!" Fu Hengzhi strode forward, grabbed Fu Wen by the back of her collar, and separated the two. He then put his arm around Zhou Zhou's shoulder and said casually, "See? Love."
"Cough cough cough!" Zhou Zhou almost choked on his own saliva.
"..." Fu Wen still had tears in the corners of her eyes. Her face fell, and she angrily said to Fu Hengzhi, "Fu Hengzhi, you have no heart! I'm heartbroken! What's wrong with letting my sister-in-law comfort me!"
"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Fu Hengzhi scoffed, then whispered in Zhou Zhou's ear, "She just likes good-looking guys, ignore her."
Zhou Zhou: "...Keep your voice down."
Seeing Fu Wen glaring at her brother with her cheeks puffed out, Zhou Zhou felt extremely helpless. He glanced at the time and said softly, "It's already very late, Xiao Wen. Your brother has to go to work tomorrow morning. I'm free all day tomorrow. You can tell me if you need anything then, okay?"
With her gentle tone and good looks, this sister-in-law is truly impeccable.
"Alright then." Fu Wen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Zhou Zhou smiled gently, "Good night, get some rest."
"Goodnight, sister-in-law..." Before she could finish speaking, the master bedroom door slammed shut in front of her with a bang.
Fu Wen: "..."
"..." Zhou Zhou covered his face, not knowing what to say to Fu Hengzhi. After all, she was his cousin. How could her brother be so childish?
"I'm going to take a shower." Fu Hengzhi put his hands on the other person's shoulders and pushed him towards the bed. "It's late, you should rest first."
Zhou Zhou was pushed to sit on the edge of the bed, blinking as she stared at Fu Hengzhi. Her gaze was clear yet turbulent, and her V-neck bathrobe, pulled by Fu Wen earlier, revealed a glimpse of her figure.
"I have……"
'Bang!'
"..." Zhou Zhou stared blankly at the closed bathroom door. No, couldn't he just confess his feelings properly? Why was he interrupted as soon as he got to the point?
Zhou Zhou was furious. She rolled over and lay on her back on the bed. Before her thoughts could drift away, she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.
They turned their heads and their eyes met.
Fu Hengzhi averted his gaze and slowly walked out. "I didn't bring a bathrobe." After saying that, he went into the dressing room. After a series of sounds of cabinet doors opening and closing, he went into the bathroom again and locked the door with a 'click'.
Zhou Zhou: "..." He was being naive, thinking that Fu Hengzhi locked the door to keep him away. Now that he thinks about it, maybe it was just a personal habit.
Sigh, habit is a wonderful thing. Zhou Zhou lay on the bed in a starfish position, speechless.
There was no steam rising in the bathroom, and the shower water temperature was noticeably low this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to suppress the restless heat in my body.
Fu Hengzhi simply took a cold shower, dried his still dripping hair with a towel as he walked out of the bathroom, and saw a dim light still on by the bedside. From this distance and angle, he could see that Zhou Zhou was staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Fu Hengzhi walked straight to the gaming chair closest to the bed, unaware that the light was left on for him.
Zhou Zhou didn't answer. He had been thinking for a long time when he sat up and saw the other person drying their hair. He frowned and asked, "Why isn't it dry?"
Fu Hengzhi shook his head, "The hair dryer is too loud, I'm worried you won't be able to sleep."
The word "heart-fluttering" perfectly describes Zhou Zhou's feelings at this moment.
My heart is beating faster and faster.
"And you?" The other person was facing away from the light, so Fu Hengzhi couldn't see the blush rising on their face. He continued wiping his hair and asked again, "Why aren't you resting yet?"
Zhou Zhou lowered her eyes. "I'm waiting for you."
"..." Fu Hengzhi paused, the suppressed heat growing from the bottom of his heart like vines. The words were very ambiguous, but he thought again that the other party definitely did not mean that.
Because I don't like it.
Fu Hengzhi shook his head, slightly disappointed, lamenting that he had overthought things. He then asked, "You seemed to have something to say just now. Was it something important?"
As she spoke, she walked to the bedside and sat down, closing the distance so as not to miss anything the other person said.
"Yes, it is quite important." Zhou Zhou knelt on the bed and moved closer to Fu Hengzhi, taking the dry towel from his hand and continuing to dry his hair.
"You still need to dry your hair. People in my family used to say that sleeping with wet hair would cause headaches."
"Hmm." Fu Hengzhi's hand, which was resting on his knee, suddenly tightened, wrinkling the small piece of bathrobe. His heart was already impure, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, that's what my parents said when I was a child."
Each of them had their own thoughts. Fu Hengzhi was suppressing the desire to devour him completely, while Zhou Zhou had words on the tip of his tongue, but no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to say them.
If Fu Hengzhi were to turn around at this moment, he would be astonished by the extent of his blushing.
He chickened out on the spot.
Having rehearsed the conversation so many times in her mind, Zhou Zhou now felt too ashamed to speak when she saw the person in question.
My hair was almost dry.
"Is that enough?" Fu Hengzhi was eager to finish and take a cold shower, but just as he was about to turn his head, Zhou Zhou pressed his head down through a towel.
"Don't move!" Zhou Zhou was a little anxious, hating herself for not being able to take this step of transgender orientation, her face turning red.
The other person's voice trembled slightly, and Fu Hengzhi stiffened, thinking that he had been stimulated by something. He coaxed softly, "I won't move. Tell me slowly what happened. Hmm... should I raise my hands above my head?"
"...No need, listen carefully to me." Zhou Zhou took a deep breath, regulated his breathing for a long time, and finally managed to say, "...I've never been in a relationship." Damn it, you coward!
Zhou Zhou angrily rebuked himself, realizing that these words were vastly different from what he had initially intended to say, but in this situation, it seemed that this was the only thing he could utter.
"I know, I won't force you, I'll take it slow." Fu Hengzhi panicked, thinking that the other party had noticed his current physical condition, and hurriedly explained. All his desires and physiological needs deflated like a punctured balloon as he spoke, afraid of scaring Zhou Zhou.
"No, that's not what I meant!" Zhou Zhou's voice, which had suddenly risen, audibly lowered. "I just felt..."
His voice was barely audible, so faint that even he himself couldn't hear it, "...we can try."
The six simple words kept being jumbled and rearranged in Fu Hengzhi's mind, but no matter how many times they were rearranged, the meaning of those four words remained the same.
You can give it a try.
"Try what?" The flame in his heart burned brighter and brighter with the other person's gentle words, the fire spreading to Fu Hengzhi's eyes. He turned his head, stared at the other person's flushed face, and asked repeatedly, word by word, "Try what?"
"Talk, talk about dating?" Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Zhou was pulled into a tight, hot embrace.
[Author's Note: Ah, the author can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Aww!!!]
Tonight, Xiao Fu, you must do this to Xiao Zhou, and then do that to him (no, nothing).
Chapter 54 You little brat, who do you think you are?
=======================================
The warm embrace lasted for a long time. Zhou Zhou could even feel Fu Hengzhi trembling all over. He gently patted Fu Hengzhi's back with both hands to comfort him.
But this only made the embrace even tighter.
"I'm very happy." Fu Hengzhi's voice was gentle and deep, like tentacles reaching out to pluck at Zhou Zhou's heartstrings.
It feels like a seed that has been diligently sown sprouting at the right time of year, and in a healthy state, tells the sower that it has the potential to grow into a towering tree.
In short, the future of the couple's relationship looks very promising.
Zhou Zhou blushed and, taking advantage of a moment of relaxation, escaped Fu Hengzhi's embrace. Staring into his eyes, she couldn't bear the emotions within them and could only lower her head, averting her gaze. "Hurry up..."
!
Zhou Zhou blushed and looked away, his pupils dilating in shock.
He parted his lips slightly and uttered a silent "Holy shit."
Fu Hengzhi sensed that the other person was avoiding something, so he coughed twice, stood up, and turned to the side, using his body to cover the part of his body that was reacting. "I'm going to take a shower. You go to sleep first."
Don't rush things at the beginning of a relationship; you might scare the other person away and end up losing more than you gain.
"Okay, okay." Zhou Zhou's own situation wasn't too good either, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the other person's. Without trying to stop him, he obediently lay down on the bed, turned his back, and covered himself with the summer quilt.
The temperature was slightly cool tonight, unlike the usual sweltering heat. Zhou Zhou had intended to wait for Fu Hengzhi, but as soon as she lay down and heard the sound of running water from the bathroom, her eyelids grew heavy.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the other person's image everywhere. Fu Hengzhi was excited repeatedly in the bathroom. The cold shower lasted for nearly half an hour. When Fu Hengzhi came out, there was already even breathing on the bed. He walked lightly, lifted the blanket and slowly moved closer, turning the other person over.
Then, in the dim light by the bedside, she could see the other person's peaceful and obedient appearance. She wanted to reach out and touch the other person's face, but she was worried about disturbing them.
Goodnight. Fu Hengzhi smiled and gently kissed the forehead of the person in his arms. The light switch clicked, the last light in the room disappeared, leaving only the tranquility of time.
He slept exceptionally well. This was the first time Zhou Zhou had felt like staying in bed since he transmigrated into the book. He opened his eyes groggily and saw a V-neck nightgown that couldn't hide his beautiful spring scenery.
Zhou Zhou's consciousness was hazy. He stared at the well-defined, full muscles, raised his hand and touched his own waist, abdomen and chest. After realizing that the touch was not enough, he placed his hand on the same parts of the other person's body.
I pressed it and scratched it.
"How does it feel?"
"It's so much better than mine." Zhou Zhou replied in a daze, only realizing it when she looked up and met the other person's deep gaze. She instantly snapped out of it, and a blush crept up to her ears at a visible speed.
Fu Hengzhi chuckled softly when he saw him like that, leaned in and kissed the other's forehead, his husky voice deep and sexy.
"Good morning."
"Good morning." Zhou Zhou felt a warmth between her brows. Realizing what the other person had done, she pursed her lips tightly. Since the other person was being so proactive, she couldn't lose, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou looked up and leaned in, pressing her lips to the other's forehead, then immediately stood up.
Fu Hengzhi's eyes darkened, and just as he was about to press down on the back of the other person's head, his hand slipped from his grasp.
"Get up quickly, it's almost time." Zhou Zhou glanced at the time. If they didn't get ready and have breakfast soon, the other person wouldn't be able to get to the company on time.
Even though the other party is the boss, you still need to set an example for all employees by setting a good example.
Zhou Zhou changed into her outfit for the day in the dressing room and nodded in satisfaction as she looked at herself in the mirror.
When he came out, Fu Hengzhi had just finished washing up. The two took turns washing up and getting dressed, tidied up the bed a little, and then went downstairs together.
Hearing the commotion upstairs, the people at the table looked up and saw two people, one tall and one short, coming downstairs side by side. Fu Hengzhi was dressed in a suit and formal attire, with his shirt buttoned up to the top and his tie perfectly tied. His broad shoulders and narrow waist exuded masculine hormones as he moved. Although Zhou Zhou's attire was not formal enough, his casual clothes unexpectedly made him look youthful and charming.
"Good morning, brother, good morning, sister-in-law." Fu Wen woke up completely sober after a good night's sleep. Her erratic and rude behavior yesterday was mostly due to alcohol. After all, she is a well-off young lady, and when she sat there, she really looked like a lady.
Without speaking.
“Sister-in-law, you look like you’ve just come of age!” Fu Wen’s eyes lit up. “If I didn’t know your real age, I would definitely call my brother a beast.”
"Haha..." Something about that sounded a bit strange. Zhou Zhou gave a dry laugh and turned his gaze to Fu Hengzhi beside him.
