No one can escape the law of true fragrance

Zhou Chenwang had never seen Ling Xi like this.

Vulnerable, embarrassing, pitiful, helpless.

He was squatting in the corner of the bathroom, hugging his knees tightly like a baby, his fingertips were too hard, they turned white, his back was shaking non-stop, and undried water droplets slid down his clean white back , dripping on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Chenwang didn't dare to step forward, and asked cautiously at the door.

The light from the living room illuminated a rectangular light source on the floor of the bathroom. Maybe it was because he felt someone talking, or maybe he saw the light again. Ling Xi didn't tremble so much.

After a while, Ling Xi put one hand on the ground and was about to stand up, but her legs were weak, and she was about to fall towards the bathtub.

Zhou Chenwang quickly rushed up and hugged his waist, but Ling Xi still staggered and threw himself into Zhou Chenwang's arms.

Zhou Chenwang put one arm around his waist and one hand on his shoulder, the tip of his nose touched Ling Xi's wet hair, a refreshing mint aroma instantly filled his nostrils.

Ling Xi was still naked.

Feeling the slippery and delicate skin under his hands, Zhou Chenwang felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be coagulated, and Ling Xi was probably also frightened by this scene, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"That... are you okay?" Zhou Chen Wang broke the embarrassment with a loud voice.

Ling Xi hurriedly broke free from Zhou Chenwang's arms, tore off the bath towel on the shelf as quickly as possible and wrapped it around her body, lowered her head and whispered back: "...I'm fine, thank you."

His face was still as pale as a lingering fear, but his ears were red. He covered the towel with his hands, not daring to look up at Zhou Chenwang, "I'm getting dressed, please go out first."

"Oh." Zhou Chenwang turned and left, so nervous that he was almost at the same hands and feet, and was about to close the door, when Ling Xi said behind him, "Don't close the door, the light in the bathroom is out."

Zhou Chenwang paused, left the bathroom door ajar, and walked out.

Ling Xi got dressed and came out. Zhou Chenwang was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. There was a frenzied shooting sound from the mobile phone, which stopped when Ling Xi approached.

They were sitting alone on one side of the sofa, Zhou Chenwang's long legs were resting on the tea table, Ling Xi was sitting upright, wiping her hair with a towel, except for her complexion, she didn't look shivering at all.

Zhou Chen looked at the locked phone, turned to look at Ling Xi, and asked hesitantly, "What happened to you just now?"

"In the middle of taking a bath, the light in the bathroom suddenly went dark." Ling Xi whispered.

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Zhou Chenwang thought it was amazing that Ling Xi, who was already 26 years old, was so afraid of the dark.

Ling Xi lowered her head, and slowed down wiping her hair with her hands. After hesitating for a while, she said, "I have claustrophobia, and I will get sick in a closed and dark environment."

Zhou Chenwang had heard of this word, but never understood it, and it was the first time he saw someone else get sick. Thinking of Ling Xi's appearance just now, it was really scary, "Can this disease be cured?"

Ling Xi shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't thought about treatment, it's not a serious illness anyway."

"Go and have a look if you have time. What if you are alone at home and suddenly the power goes out, what should you do?" Zhou Chenwang suddenly thought, if he was playing outside as usual today, and Ling Xi was taking a shower alone in the bathroom and suddenly the power went out, what would he do? How terrible it would be if someone opened the bathroom door for him. Would he wait like that until dawn, full of fear?

Ling Xi dried her hair, raised her head and smiled helplessly at Zhou Chenwang, "Let's talk again, I'll lie down for a while, and I have to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning." Ling Xi stood up and walked towards her room, walked to the door and went back to the hospital. Turning around, "Zhou Chenwang, thank you for today."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Chenwang's response, he opened the door and walked in. Amid the soft closing sound, Zhou Chenwang said belatedly, "You're welcome."

The living room still has the fragrance of Ling Xi's shower gel. The refreshing mint smell makes people feel a bit of coolness in the early autumn night. Zhou Chen Wang looked at his right hand. It seemed that Ling Xi's body temperature was still on it. It was cold, but it seemed to be burning. Looking at Zhou Chenwang's palm, he also noticed the part of Ling Xi's neck that was exposed when he wiped his hair just now.

When he realized what was going on in his mind, Zhou Chenwang almost fell off the sofa. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he quickly rushed to the bathroom, determined to wash away these abnormal thoughts in his mind.

The bathroom light was indeed broken, and it was pitch black. Zhou Chenwang was not afraid. He stood in the bathtub and showered with the shower nozzle that came with the bathtub. In the dark environment, deprived of vision, other feelings would be more intense. Zhou Chenwang could smell the stillness in the air. The undispelled breath belonged to Ling Xi, it was moist, clean, and sweet, and it was his smell after bathing.

Zhou Chenwang fled from the bathroom in a panic, thinking that he might be crazy.

When Zhou Chenwang woke up the next day, Ling Xi was no longer at home. The room he had slept in was still neat and tidy. Zhou Chenwang stood at the door and looked at it for a while, then went downstairs to eat breakfast with a yawn. Those who should go to work had already finished eating and left , there was only one Zhou Chenyue left on the dining table.

Zhou Chenyue drank yogurt, glanced at Zhou Chenwang, and joked, "Hey, your face is ruddy and full of spring breeze. It seems that last night was another happy night."

Zhou Chen almost spit out a mouthful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, he said angrily, "Stop reading pornographic books, your mind is full of pornographic trash all day long!"

"Food and sex, what's so good about people who don't like sex? How about you?" Zhou Chenyue said one joke after another.

Zhou Chenwang didn't want to argue with this "missed girl" anymore, so he ate a few mouthfuls and went out to the company.I was thinking about this claustrophobia along the way, and when I was waiting for the red light, I used my mobile phone to check it on Baidu. It said that the cause was basically related to the traumatic experience in childhood. Zhou Chenwang began to think about what kind of traumatic experience Ling Xi had in his childhood.

Thinking about his thoughts all the way to the office, Zhou Chenwang just arrived, Shen Xiao followed into the door, and smacked his lips as soon as he entered the door, "Young Master Zhou is newlywed, and I won't come out to play, is my sister-in-law's tutor so strict? "

"Get out!" Zhou Chenwang scolded, "It's not like you don't know about the group's recent acquisitions. My dad asked me to take charge of the acquisition of one of the large pharmaceutical factories. I've been spending time in the factory recently, so I don't have time to spend time with you guys."

Shen Xiao sat down on the sofa, and made an intercom call very familiarly, asking the secretary to make him a cup of good mocha, "I thought I didn't come home at night on the wedding night, and I was forced to do my homework. I mean, it's okay that day , did that Ling Xi start going crazy just because he married into your family?"

Zhou Chen looked puzzled, "Why is he so insolent?"

"Isn't the people in their circle like this, they do everything possible to marry a rich man, and then they start showing off everywhere, such as parties, receptions, extravagant." Shen Xiao said.

Zhou Chenwang frowned slightly, "Ling Xi is not this kind of person."

"Oh, I'm starting to protect my shortcomings." Shen Xiao smiled, "Since he didn't do it, I'll do it. You haven't come out to drink for a few days, and the big guy wants to see your family again. place."

Zhou Chenwang said, "You came to my office so early in the morning to say this?"

"I'm just passing by to see the life of a married man. It's agreed that you are not allowed to go tonight without family members." Shen Xiao took Mocha and thanked the secretary sweetly.

"Then I won't go." Zhou Chen gave Shen Xiao a blank look.

"Tsk, why are you so nervous, we won't eat him, you don't take him out to play all the time, the big guys think you are not as affectionate as the news reports." Shen Xiao said such words on purpose.

Zhou Chenwang knew that this must be the intention of several other people. They wanted to meet Ling Xi in private and let Shen Xiao be a lobbyist. Zhou Chenwang thought to himself that since he was married, he should take him to meet his friends, so he said: "I will talk to you this afternoon. Ask him, his grandmother is not in good health, if he can't walk away, there's nothing he can do."

When Ling Xi received Zhou Chenwang's call, he was surprised and expected at the same time. He knew that Zhou Chenwang's friends would be curious about his existence sooner or later. He just didn't expect Zhou Chenwang to call him to inquire about him. He thought that when this day came, Maybe Zhou Chenwang would notify him directly, or maybe he would reject the group of friends, but Zhou Chenwang asked him on the phone if he was free.

Ling Xi couldn't refuse such a formal question, and he was playing the role of Zhou Chenwang's partner, so he should be present at such an occasion.

"Yes." Ling Xi stood outside the ward. "Grandma has been transferred to the general ward. She is in good spirits after waking up today. The nurse is here tonight. I have time."

"Then I'll pick you up at the hospital after get off work." Zhou Chenwang said.

"You send me the address, and I'll go there by myself." Ling Xi replied as before.

Zhou Chenwang became unhappy, "If we don't show up together, they will misunderstand."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xi stood outside the ward, leaning against the wall, holding the old mobile phone case in his hand. He always felt that Zhou Chenwang's attitude towards him had obviously improved in the past two days, which made Ling Xi feel a little uncomfortable , more relaxed, it is much more comfortable to associate with a normal person than with an explosive kit.

I hope Zhou Chenwang's friends are also normal people.

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhou Chenwang's car stopped at the entrance of the hospital on time. Ling Xi opened the co-pilot's door and smelled a sweet smell of roasted chestnuts. Xi's hands.

Ling Xi: "?"

Zhou Chenwang said while driving: "Chenyue called me to bring it for her, and I bought an extra bag."

Ling Xi happened to be hungry, so he broke open one casually, nodded and praised after eating, "It's quite sweet."

"Really? I'll try it." Zhou Chen looked this way eagerly.

He was driving, and Ling Xi had to peel one for him. Zhou Chenwang thought he was going to feed himself, but before poking his head over, Ling Xi had already stuffed the peeled chestnut into his right hand holding the steering wheel.

Zhou Chenwang hurriedly retracted his head, and ate the chestnuts in one bite, "Well, it's quite sweet." As he spoke, he looked at Ling Xi from the corner of his eye, and asked him, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Ling Xi was puzzled, "Don't you have an appointment with your friend?"

"They have an appointment at a bar, and they won't be able to go there until later. Let's go have a meal first."

"Then...won't you go back to eat?" Ling Xi asked.

Zhou Chenwang has his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. He has wanted to know each other for so long. Except for the time when he was "forced to open business" and had a meal with Ling Xi, the two had never had a meal alone. I'm tired of eating, and I don't want to go back to eat."

His question caught Ling Xi, Ling Xi seldom eats out, and he doesn't know any delicious places in Shangjing, "You decide, just eat whatever you want."

"I never eat casually." Zhou Chenwang thought for a while, made a call, and asked the secretary to book a private restaurant for him.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chenwang turned his head and smiled at Ling Xi: "The food in this place is not bad. I haven't eaten there for a long time. There is a seat today. I'll take you to try it."

Zhou Chenwang looks good, with a straight nose, a well-defined face, deep eyelids, and a pair of narrow and charming eyes, but with a pair of small canine teeth, which neutralizes the aggressiveness of his appearance and adds a little cuteness and insolent.

As the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the car, Ling Xi noticed that there was a small black mole next to Zhou Chenwang's nose, and he smiled brightly. Ling Xi was dazzled by this smile, and subconsciously opened another chestnut in his hand.

The soft and glutinous chestnuts exude sweetness in the mouth, and the fiery red sunset outside the car window covers the sky in large swaths, and the green trees on the roadside are quickly retreating as the car moves forward. Ling Xi propped his head and looked at the scenery outside the window. Two puppies are chasing and fighting.

Everything outside the window was full of vitality, which made Ling Xi feel relieved for a moment after being suppressed by her grandmother's operation for so long.
