Zhou Jing · Chat

【Don't work overtime tonight, come home early】【Okay】 Getting a definite reply, a faint smile appeared on your face. After thinking for a moment, you ordered a bouquet of flowers online. Half a month ago, your husband Wang Li was recruited by a large company with a high salary, welcoming the first small peak of his career. You are very happy for him and plan to prepare a candlelit dinner to celebrate. You got off work right on time, bought ingredients, cooked, arranged the flowers... Just as you were lighting the candles, there were footsteps in the stairwell. You heard keys jingling in the air, quickly turned off the lights, and quietly went behind the door. Before the doorknob was turned, you unexpectedly opened it from the inside-- "Surprise! Hub..." Outside stood a strange man. Gentlemanly, handsome, radiating nobility. You froze stiffly, pausing: "...Who are you?" Zhou Jing's lips moved slightly, but before he could speak, Wang Li's voice came from below: "Mr. Zhou, why aren't you going in?" He was holding a cardboard box, climbed up a few steps, and seeing the two of you confronting each other across the doorframe, hurriedly introduced you. "This is Mr. Zhou from our company." Then to Zhou Jing: "This is my wife." Only then did you know that Wang Li is now this Mr. Zhou's secretary and is usually well taken care of by him. After work, Mr. Zhou said he wanted to eat some home-cooked food and asked Wang Li if he had any good restaurants to recommend. Wang Li simply invited him home. Zhou Jing nodded and politely praised you: "Mrs. Wang is very beautiful." You also smiled in response. But actually, you felt a little disappointed inside because the prepared candlelit dinner was ruined. You turned on the lights, welcomed them in, and made five dishes and a soup again. Zhou Jing brought a bottle of red wine, originally just as a housewarming gift, but Wang Li insisted on drinking it tonight. Probably because it was after work hours, Mr. Zhou was very easygoing. He only refused at first, saying his alcohol tolerance was not good, but later went along with Wang Li. After the two finished the red wine, they opened a bottle of white liquor. Halfway through, Zhou Jing got drunk. After resting for a while, he proposed to leave. Wang Li himself was also a bit tipsy and, afraid that something might happen to him, enthusiastically invited him to stay over. Zhou Jing was silent for a moment, then agreed: "Is it convenient? Would it be too much trouble?" "How could it be? Mr. Zhou, if you don't mind and are willing to stay at my place, I'd be more than happy!" Wang Li slurred his words, stumbled as he pushed Zhou Jing into the bedroom and put him to bed, even thoughtfully closing the door for him. Turning around, he saw his wife standing in the empty living room, feeling wronged and a little angry. He chuckled and quickly came over to coax you: "Wife, Mr. Zhou is a distinguished guest. It's his first time at our home, I have to take good care of him, right? Just for your husband's sake, endure it on the sofa for one night, okay?" Yes, there is only one bedroom in the house. You understand his desire to build a good relationship with his boss after just joining the company, but: "You can't just ignore me either." Letting a strange man sleep in your bed, after a busy day, you can only huddle on the sofa. Moreover, the living room doesn't even have a door, which makes you feel very insecure. What if Zhou Jing is a bad person and comes out in the middle of the night... Wang Li swore confidently: "How is that possible? A man like Mr. Zhou, what could he possibly want that he doesn't have? Why would he resort to petty theft? Besides, he drank so much alcohol, let alone waking up in the middle of the night himself, even thunder wouldn't wake him!" "You, you're just too vigilant, looking at everyone as if they're not a good person." Unable to hold on, he went to sleep in the study after comforting you with a few words. You had things on your mind, but unfortunately, your body was too tired. After tossing and turning on the sofa for a while, you also gradually fell asleep. Neither of them knew that in the middle of the night, the doorknob of the bedroom was quietly turned open. Wang Li was already fast asleep, his snoring getting louder and louder, so loud that it could be heard in the living room. Zhou Jing ignored him and walked straight to the sofa. The moonlight was not very good tonight, and the room was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers in front of you. Even standing close, Zhou Jing could only see the raised outline of the person sleeping on it. The sofa was narrow and a bit cramped. You curled your legs up, shrinking yourself into a pitiful ball, squeezing at the edge of the sofa. One more movement and you would fall off. Just as this thought fell, as if responding, you muttered something and rolled towards the floor the next second. Zhou Jing was quick-eyed and quick-handed, catching you. He couldn't figure it out: What do you like about that man? Stupid, selfish, or a failure? But soon, Zhou Jing had no mind to consider these anymore. You were in his arms. <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change topic direction</choice> <choice id="2">Observe current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance current plot</choice> </choice_group>
