Bai Yuning walked to Ji Zihan's side with a slightly difficult step, wearing high heels that she was not yet used to.

She placed her phone on the sofa and started playing the quick-learning tutorial on tying a tie that she had just searched for.

She was half-bent over, watching intently and quickly, with her long hair hanging down and her black eyelashes trembling, as she raised her doubts.

"Hmm, so there are so many ways to tie a tie... then which knot should I tie for you?"

Bai Yuning straightened up and asked Ji Zihan.

The two stood facing each other on the side of the balcony, not too far apart.

Ji Zihan seemed to block out her questions, pursed his lips and said nothing.

He stared intently at the woman in front of him. Under the clear and warm morning light, her every move, every frown and smile seemed particularly captivating.

Bai Yuning was caught off guard by the pair of narrow eyes. The man's eager gaze made her feel a little uneasy and her back tensed unnaturally.

She endured the heat on her cheeks, gently untied and pulled off his tie, raised her hand and waved it in front of him, blinking.

"Ji Zihan?" she called him.

Only then did Ji Zihan restrain his gaze and come back to his senses.

"What?" he asked.

"I saw it said there are many ways to tie it. Which one do you want to tie? A square knot? A Windsor knot? Or an Eldredge knot? ... Or forget about the latter one. It sounds difficult."

Bai Yuning carefully smoothed the torn tie, stood on tiptoes, and wrapped it around his neck again.

"what ever."

Ji Zihan's features regained their sternness as he looked at her slender arms that covered his, and replied calmly.

"Then the Windsor knot? It sounds better."

Bai Yuning squinted her eyes and moved closer, then raised her head and smiled. The upturned eyeliner made her usually clear and bright almond-shaped eyes even more charming and alluring.

Ji Zihan stared straight at her, frankly and openly, and in his deep black eyes there seemed to be some unspeakable passionate emotion surging, eager to overflow from his eyes.

He said slowly, "Okay."

The voice was light and low, as if rolling out from the throat.

The sudden gentle tone of voice struck Bai Yuning's heart for no reason, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

She bit her red lips lightly, lowered her head slightly, suppressed her restless emotions, and began to concentrate on fiddling with Ji Zihan's tie according to the tutorial.

Even with her head lowered, she could keenly sense that Ji Zihan's eyes were focused on her head, almost seeing through her head, so she couldn't help but speed up her hands' movements.

Halfway through tying it, she still had to bend down to check the steps.

The thin heels were not very stable on the soft and thick carpet, so when she bent over to check for the fourth time.

Her heel suddenly tilted and she was caught on the carpet. Before she could even scream, she stumbled and fell backwards.

The tie in her hand became her lifeline. She did not dare to let go, and thus fell forward with Ji Zihan.

Ji Zihan, who was standing, suddenly felt a pulling force. His pupils shrank immediately. Without thinking, he grabbed her waist and used the force to reverse the direction. Finally, there was a dull bang, and they both fell down at the same time, and his back hit the sofa hard.

Bai Yuning raised her head, her delicate face turned slightly pale, she was trembling with fear, and her breathing was uncertain.

Not only because of the accidental fall just now, but also because the handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her, and his breath was intertwined with hers.

"Are you okay?" she asked with lingering fear, still holding his tie tightly in her hand.

Ji Zihan looked straight at the woman whose noses were touching, and said in a low voice, "It's okay. How about you?"

"What can happen to me..." Bai Yuning replied weakly.

"It's a bit heavy." Ji Zihan tightened his grip on Bai Yuning's waist.

Bai Yuning blushed slightly as she realized that all her weight was on Ji Zihan. Their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, a feeling that was both strange and familiar. She quickly loosened her tie and climbed up from him.

Ji Zihan rarely teased her, but sat up. He glanced at his chest and said to her, "Go on. Go through the information after breakfast."

Bai Yuning then picked up her phone and watched the tutorial again, frowning and walking around, and finally completed the task perfectly.

"All right!"

She patted Ji Zihan's chest gently and smiled with satisfaction at the perfect Windsor knot she had tied for the first time.

"How about it?"

She looked at Ji Zihan with shining eyes, and her expectant expression reminded her of a puppy wagging its tail for praise.

"I can't see it." Ji Zihan said truthfully.

Bai Yuning took his hand and pulled him to the full-length floor-to-ceiling mirror near the door, "You can see it now! Isn't it good?"

Ji Zihan looked at the beautiful woman standing beside him in the mirror.

She was wearing a black dress, which surprisingly matched what he was wearing today, and the warmth from his palm showed that she was willing to touch him.

He nodded, "Yes, it's not bad."

"Look, I'll just say it."

After receiving Ji Zihan's approval, Bai Yuning immediately put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

Ji Zihan turned his head to look at her. Her cute little expression made him raise his hand and rub her head. Suddenly, an intoxicating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The warm touch on her head made Bai Yuning drown in this inexplicable and brief tenderness. She was stunned by the smile and was a little dazed.

There was something wrong with Ji Zihan, and the way he smiled was not right.

The stunned mood was interrupted by the doorbell, and Eve's voice came from the intercom doorbell.

Breakfast has arrived.

Ji Zihan had already turned and walked towards the restaurant in the suite. Bai Yuning stood for a moment and followed him.

During breakfast time, the two sat opposite each other in silence. Ji Zihan would occasionally push some dishes that were a little far away in front of Bai Yuning.

Bai Yuning lowered her head while eating breakfast, her face calm but she was feeling uneasy inside.

She always felt that Ji Zihan was a little strange today, but what was strange about it? She couldn't tell.

It seems like he is unexpectedly gentle? He is no longer angry with himself?

Of course, it is possible that I was wrong. He was still quiet and not much different from usual. However, he was not as keen on playing tricks on me as he was in the past few days.

It was just a sincere smile, is that considered gentle?

Bai Yuning secretly curled her lips and couldn't help blaming herself.

It seems like I'm about to get Stockholm syndrome. When someone gives me a sweet date, I forget everything else. There are broken glass shards on the ground, and I just pick up the candy inside to eat, right?

Lust and love must be separated, Bai Yuning advised herself again.

But if you think about it carefully, she actually has no idea in her heart, what true love should be like?

Why are Xie Qingqing and Jiang Keyan so sure of their feelings for Ji Zihan? What do they like about Ji Zihan? Even Xie Qingqing dared to speak harshly to Ji Zihan after only meeting him twice.

So do you like him?

Of course I like this face, but does liking his face count as love?

Bai Yuning felt upset. She and Ji Zihan had had intimate contact more than once, but they were still strangers after their return.

Or in other words, a familiar stranger.

According to his own definition, the two of them are just friends, but as for Ji Zihan, the situation is unknown.

Are they also P-friends? But in fact, they are not quite like the P-friend relationship described on the Internet.

Each time, it was not intentional, but a matter of chance and letting things take their own course. Suppose, if there is a next time, I refuse? What will happen?

But the prerequisite is that you can refuse it.

She secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Ji Zihan.

Bai Yuning, ah Bai Yuning, open your eyes and look, the man in front of you even eats in an extremely elegant manner.

She has good looks and a good figure. She is also very capable at work and good in bed. Apart from her mediocre personality, she has full sexual tension and personal charm.

I've been with him for two years, and there has never been any gossip about him, except for the recent Jiang Keyan... But he obviously doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about Jiang Keyan.

Bai Yuning suddenly raised her chin and stared at him thoughtfully.

Ji Zihan raised his head calmly, "Are you full?"

"Hmm..." Bai Yuning said sullenly.

Seeing her gloomy face, Ji Zihan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yuning was thinking whether she should just go straight to the point and ask Ji Zihan honestly what the situation was between the two of them.
