The warmth from her lips was transmitted to his skin through the thin, silk sleeves, like a fire spreading to every inch of him. Even though Cheng Liu let go, the inside of his forearm felt like it was burned by fire, burning and itchy, and even with the illusion of tingling.

Ji Chaozhou lowered his eyes and looked at Cheng Liu. He raised his left hand, intertwined their fingers, and after a moment, slightly raised his right finger, slightly shifted it, and matched his fingertips with hers, rubbing the tips lightly together.

She seemed to find it interesting, and inserted her fingers through the gaps in his, entwining them and playing with his hand over and over again.

Cheng Liu did find it quite interesting. She looked down at Ji Chaozhou’s hand. It was slender and beautiful, with his finger bones covered in a thin layer of white skin, like fine unglazed porcelain. However, the knuckles were slightly pink, and there were a few blue blood vessels on the pale back of his hand.

As she repeatedly played with his hand, blue veins gradually bulged out, spreading across the back of his hand. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the area around his fingertips also gradually turned pink.

Ji Chaozhou suddenly pulled his hand away, hid it, and asked Cheng Liu, “Don’t you have to work?”

Cheng Liu, who just want to play around and fall in love: “…”

In order to divert her attention, Ji Chaozhou asked her, “What time are you going to buy a car tomorrow?”

“No specific time, it all depends on your schedule.” Cheng Liu thought to herself that she had to stay up late to work tonight.

“Morning then,” Ji Chaozhou said with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Liuqi took two steps out, then turned back and asked him, “Can we tear down the wall in our backyard?”

The front yard wall can be left as it was for the time being, but she wanted to demolish the back yard wall.

In this way, they were still neighbors on the surface, but in fact they were secretly having an affair.

Well, ‘secret affair’ seemed to be a derogatory term.

But it was almost the same idea, Young President Cheng thought, and it could be quite exciting this way.

“No,” Ji Chaozhou refused bluntly.

“Oh.” Cheng Liu sighed in disappointment, then turned to Ji Chaozhou and said, “Don’t mind me.”

Ji Chaozhou watched Cheng Liu leave the living room before he slowly and softly replied, “Yeah.”

…

Forty minutes later, the doorbell at Ji Chaozhou’s front door rang.

He looked at the surveillance video and found that it was a food delivery man.

Ji Chaozhou hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and went out.

“Mr. Ji?” The delivery guy checked Ji Chaozhou’s surname and address and confirmed that it was correct, but the last digits of his cell phone number didn’t match.

This was actually the last digits of Cheng Liu’s cell phone number.

Ji Chaozhou took the delivery. The portion was not large. He took it and opened it. It was only one person’s portion. It was obvious that Cheng Liu did not intend to come over to eat with him.

At this time, Cheng Liu sent a WeChat message: [I sent over food delivery, remember to eat.]

She herself was eating some biscuits and was working furiously to save time so they could go and buy a car tomorrow.

… …

After sleeping for a few hours early in the morning, Cheng Liu jumped out of bed and ran to the villa next door in high spirits.

Next door, Ji Chaozhou was not out watering the flowers in the front yard—quite a rare occurrence. Cheng Liu entered the living room and she saw him coming out from the bedroom.

He wasn’t dressed so ‘refined’ today, wearing a simple, thin, burgundy sweater and off-white straight trousers, which was more like Cheng Liu’s style.

Cheng Liu didn’t think that he was dressed inappropriately, her mind was full only of him, wanting to kiss him.

It was rare for the two of them to wear the same style. Cheng Liu missed the entertainment reporter’s photography skills a little and wanted him to take a photo of her and Ji Chaozhou right now.

… …

On their way to the 4S store, Ji Chaozhou drove, and Cheng Liu sat in the passenger seat. She asked him what kind of car he liked.

“What kind of car do you like?” Ji Chaozhou asked her in return.

He thought Cheng Liu would say any car would do, but he didn’t expect her to be silent for a moment, then stammer, “I like a more spacious car.”

Some people like big cars, some people like small cars, but Cheng Liu stuttered when she said this, and there was obviously something wrong with what she said.

There was a red light right in front of him. Ji Chaozhou stepped on the brakes and turned to look at Cheng Liu beside him. Her eyes were vague and it was unclear what she was thinking.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became stagnant and ambiguous. Ji Chaozhou pressed a button on his door and lowered all the windows on Cheng Liu’s side.

The traffic light ahead of them turned green; Ji Chaozhou stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Early in the morning, the wind outside the window was still a little chilly. Cheng Liu muttered softly, “I’m just thinking about it.”

Ji Chaozhou pursed his lips into a straight line, and the tips of his ears turned red. He knew that Cheng Liu was bold, but he didn’t expect her to be bold in every aspect.

Even the cold wind outside the window couldn’t blow away the nonsense in her head. Ji Chaozhou said coldly, “Don’t even think about it.”

“Oh,” Cheng Liu quietly raised the car window a little, bent her long legs, and slid down, trying to let that small piece of glass block the cold wind from outside.

… …

After arriving at the 4S store, Cheng Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn’t go to Tianqi to buy a car; before confirming a car manufacturer as official partner, Cheng Liu would not use a car from an S City car company.

The two of them had just entered the 4S store, and the salesperson inside stared at them for a few second; he recognized Cheng Liu and Ji Chaozhou.

He was a little excited and wanted to take a photo with the two of them.

Cheng Liu rejected him, smiling and said, “We are only here to quietly buy a car today, so please keep it a secret.”

She didn’t want to be surrounded by people.

They were not celebrities either.

The salesperson nodded repeatedly, put away his phone, and said excitedly, “We are still waiting for Shenyin Technology to develop autonomous driving technology. Your decision to open source it is exactly what we need.”

He gave a thumbs up.
