The driver of the Xue family had been waiting outside the restaurant. When he saw Zu Qi and Heng Jingchen coming out of the restaurant, he quickly got out of the car and helped fold the stroller that Heng Jingchen was pushing and put it into the trunk.
After Zu Qi and Heng Jingchen said goodbye, he leaned on the back of the chair and prepared to take a nap.
As a result, the driver suddenly stopped the car after driving forward a few meters.
Unexpectedly, Zu Qi was startled and subconsciously hugged Xue Wanwan, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. From the corner of his eye, he saw the car door next to him open. Before he could turn around, he smelled a familiar scent of men’s perfume.
“Sir.” The driver in front shouted in a low voice.
Xue Jue was wearing a formal black suit, but the top was wide open, revealing a snow-white shirt, and the tie on his chest was messy. He smelled of alcohol, and his always cold face was mixed with a trace of unnoticeable fatigue.
He slightly raised his chin to the driver: “Let’s go.”
“Yes.” The driver responded.
The car quickly drove into a busy street, with the city’s night scene of lights and wine on both sides. The car retreated vaguely, and light and shadow alternated on the two silent people in the back seat.
The silent air in the car seemed to have vitality, constantly squeezing Zu Qi’s brain nerves. At this time, he thought of the vague conversation between him and Xue Jue last night, and suddenly it felt like a cat’s claws were scratching his heart.
Zu Qi vaguely remembered that Xue Jue had asked him if he liked him, but Zu Qi had long forgotten how he answered.
If Xue Jue asked him this question again now, he thought he would nod and admit without hesitation – he liked Xue Jue from the bottom of his heart, and he didn’t want to deny this fact.
Thinking of this, Zu Qi even looked forward to seeing Xue Jue’s reaction after hearing these words.
Hey, it would be great if he could turn back time.
Then he would definitely not let himself sleep so deeply last night.
Just when Zu Qi was thinking wildly, Xue Jue’s cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears: “Is he asleep?”
Zu Qi suddenly broke away from his messy thoughts and straightened his back reflexively.
He turned to look at Xue Jue and found that Xue Jue was leaning slightly to the side, leaning on the car window with one hand to support his chin, his half-closed eyes staring at him constantly, his deep gaze seeming to penetrate his soul.
Even though Zu Qi had seen Xue Jue thousands of times and could picture the other person’s appearance in the dark with his eyes closed, it was undeniable that Xue Jue was more attractive than he thought.
Even though he was sitting casually and his clothes were a little messy, it did not affect the charm exuding from his body at all. Instead, he exuded an eye-catching sense of laziness from his bones…
For some reason, Zu Qi suddenly thought of the old wine that had been dusted for many years, which had become more fragrant.
Under Xue Jue’s gaze, Zu Qi’s disobedient heart actually began to beat crazily in his chest.
“No.” Zu Qi cleared his throat and replied calmly, “I was just thinking about things with my eyes closed.”
“…” Xue Jue did not rush to respond to Zu Qi’s words and put his fist to his lips and let out a slight laughing sound, then he paused and then said, “Has Wanwan fallen asleep?”
Zu Qi: “…” He suddenly understood that Xue Jue was asking Xue Wanwan if he was asleep, not asking if he was… well, he was being hot-headed again.
Although Zu Qi’s face was as red as fire, he still said very calmly: “He is not so quiet when he is not sleeping.”
“That’s right, the little devil will only be at peace when he is asleep.” Xue Jue said helplessly, with a hint of imperceptible endearment in his tone, and then he asked casually, “Were you eating here?”
Zu Qi hummed and told him how he had asked Heng Jingchen to go to Xue’s house to find him. He then briefly talked about how they brought Xue Wanwan out.
However, Zu Qi omitted the part where he wanted to buy the land, and only said that Heng Jingchen helped introduce him to an audition, so he wanted to treat Heng Jingchen to a meal.
In fact, in Zu Qi’s view, his words were full of loopholes. Not to mention him only remembering to thank Heng Jingchen for what he did half a month ago. And in that case, even if he had really asked Heng Jingchen to have dinner, he should not have asked Heng Jingchen to go to Xue’s house to find him.
In short, even Zu Qi himself couldn’t bear to look at these words.
Fortunately, Xue Jue didn’t think too much, nodded, and then quietly changed the topic.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived outside the gate of Xue’s house. The driver wanted to send them to the parking lot to avoid having to walk on the snowy road for about half an hour back, but Xue Jue refused directly, took Xue Wanwan from Zu Qi’s hand and got out of the car.
Maybe Xue Wanwan was tired from all the hard work, but there was no movement when Xue Jue put him in the stroller. He seemed to be still having a sweet dream, tasting something with his little mouth.
Xue Jue covered Xue Wanwan tightly with a blanket and pulled up the windcover outside. After taking care of everything, he turned around and smiled at Zu Qi: “Walk with me for a while? I have some problems. I want to tell you something.”
At this time, the snow that had been falling for a day had stopped, and the surrounding scenery was covered with white snow. Street lamps stood alone on both sides of the iron gate, and the dim lights illuminated the figures of Zu Qi and Xue Jue and stretched them very long.
Like two straight lines, the further they went, the closer they got to each other, and finally intersected.
Xue Jue was tall and had long legs. He looked particularly good-looking in a thin suit standing in a pure white snow scene. The smile on his mouth was faintly visible under the warm light – but he looked extremely lonely.
Zu Qi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn’t wait to walk to Xue Jue, so he lowered his eyes and watched the two people’s figures gradually overlap, and responded softly: “Okay, I also have something to tell you.”
