Chapter 6: Will we share a room tonight?
After they finished speaking, Tan Haoyu and Zhu Ziqing looked at each other again.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
The atmosphere once again descended into a suffocating awkwardness.
Zhu Ziqing was originally a lively and cheerful girl, but under Tan Haoyu's deep gaze, she was like a helpless child.
She pursed her lips and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... how about we each go and do our own thing for a while?"
Tan Haoyu nodded slightly, his deep voice saying, "Yes, very good."
Then, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they each turned around.
Tan Haoyu walked towards the study and began to handle the various tasks at hand, his back exuding a cold and aloof aura.
Zhu Ziqing returned to her room, her steps slightly hurried.
Zhu Ziqing spent two hours busily fiddling around in the room, dealing with some trivial matters.
Finally, it was almost 22:30 PM.
She stretched and prepared to shut down her computer and rest.
When she opened the door, she bumped into Tan Haoyu coming out of the bathroom.
He was wearing a white bathrobe, and water droplets slid down his muscular chest.
The firm muscle lines were faintly visible under the robe, showing that he had a strong physique.
Every muscle is like a meticulously sculpted work of art, exuding the aura of male hormones.
When Zhu Ziqing saw it, her head suddenly went blank, and her face turned bright red.
Her heart suddenly raced, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
Her mind was in chaos, a jumble of thoughts rushing through her head: "My God, how can he be so... charming?"
What's wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast?
No, I can't look anymore, but... why can't I take my eyes off it?
She hurriedly looked away, only to hear Tan Haoyu's magnetic voice say, "It's getting late."
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhu Ziqing's mind in an instant.
She wondered to herself: What did he mean by that? Did he intend to... sleep with me tonight?
Thinking about this, her heart raced faster and faster, and a sense of unease spread through her.
Zhu Ziqing rushed into the bathroom as if fleeing, and fussed around inside for a full half hour.
After coming out, she pulled out a long-sleeved nightgown and wrapped herself up tightly, as if that would give her some sense of security.
When she returned to her room and found that Tan Haoyu was not there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she could recover, Tan Haoyu walked in, carrying a faint scent of cologne.
After taking a shower, Zhu Ziqing's hair was still wet and hanging over her shoulders.
Tan Haoyu saw it, picked up the hair dryer, and waved to her: "Come here, I'll dry your hair for you."
Zhu Ziqing was somewhat surprised. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and sat down in the chair in front of Tan Haoyu.
Tan Haoyu gently dried the excess water from her hair with a towel.
Then I plugged in the hairdryer and turned it on.
A warm breeze blew gently out. Tan Haoyu first tested the temperature with his hand, and only after finding it suitable did he begin to blow-dry Zhu Ziqing's hair.
His movements were very gentle, his fingers running through Zhu Ziqing's hair as if caressing the most precious treasure.
The hum of the hairdryer echoed in the quiet room, but it did not break the cozy atmosphere in the slightest.
"Your hair is so soft," Tan Haoyu said softly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Zhu Ziqing's face flushed slightly, and she answered somewhat shyly, "Yes, many people say that."
As Tan Haoyu gently combed her hair, he joked, "Looks like I married a wife with such charming hair."
Zhu Ziqing chuckled and said, "You're so good with words."
Tan Haoyu turned the hairdryer down a bit and focused on drying her hair, saying, "I'm not making this up. Everything about you is beautiful in my eyes."
Zhu Ziqing felt as if something had gently bumped into her heart, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her.
She looked up at Tan Haoyu, her eyes softening with tenderness.
After drying Zhu Ziqing's hair, Tan Haoyu went to bed first.
Zhu Ziqing bit her lip and carefully lay down, feeling nervous.
Her body was taut like a fully drawn bow, and her heart was pounding wildly in her chest.
She clutched the blanket tightly, her heart pounding like a rabbit's: "He... he wouldn't really want to..."
We've only known each other for a short time, and this kind of thing...
I'm not ready yet. What if he really...?
Should I reject him? But what will he think?
Tan Haoyu seemed to sense Zhu Ziqing's nervousness.
He turned over to face Zhu Ziqing and asked softly, "Are you nervous?"
Zhu Ziqing's body trembled slightly, and she stammered, "No...no."
Tan Haoyu looked at her, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't do anything. Go to sleep."
Hearing this, Zhu Ziqing felt a little relieved, but was still somewhat uneasy: "Really...really?"
Tan Haoyu nodded: "Okay, go to sleep."
Upon hearing Tan Haoyu's words, Zhu Ziqing's tense nerves seemed to suddenly find an outlet, and she slowly relaxed.
In this reassuring atmosphere, she quickly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom.
"We're doomed!" Zhu Ziqing suddenly sat up in bed, exclaiming in surprise.
She looked out the window at the already bright sky, filled with worry that she had missed her alarm.
At that moment, Tan Haoyu's deep voice rang out in the room: "I turned off the alarm clock. You've been too tired lately, so get some more sleep."
Zhu Ziqing then came to her senses and realized that Tan Haoyu was right beside her.
She turned her head and saw Tan Haoyu sitting on the sofa, dressed neatly and reading a newspaper, looking elegant and charming.
When Tan Haoyu saw Zhu Ziqing's outfit, his pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Zhu Ziqing noticed Tan Haoyu's intense gaze, and her face flushed red again.
She rushed into the bathroom in a panic, and behind her came Tan Haoyu's voice: "I've prepared breakfast, waiting for you to eat together."
After washing up, Zhu Ziqing changed into her work clothes and came out.
The fitted suit accentuated her figure, making her look even more graceful, mature, and sexy.
She walked into the restaurant and was immediately captivated by the scene before her.
The dining table was covered with a beautiful tablecloth and set with exquisite tableware.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a mesmerizing glow upon it.
Breakfast is also plentiful and varied.
There are steaming hot fried eggs, golden toast, fresh fruit salad, and a cup of hot coffee with an enticing aroma.
Zhu Ziqing sat at the dining table and said to Tan Haoyu with a smile, "This breakfast looks so delicious! You're amazing!"
Tan Haoyu nodded slightly: "Yes, eat quickly, don't go hungry."
