“I forgot to get my pajamas.” Chen Zui’s reaction was calm compared to Zhen Tian’s. He walked into the bedroom and opened the closet. As he reached in to get the pajamas in the closet, he saw the camisole Zhen Tian hung next to it.
“...” Chen Zui paused.
This camisole is paired with a dress. Of course, Chen Zui doesn’t know that. He moved his eyes away and calmly took out his pajamas.
Zhen Tian stood in her original position and didn’t notice his abnormal behavior. She didn’t dare to move. She was afraid that if she did…she would throw herself onto him.
“I’ll go out to change.” Chen Zui returned to the bathroom with his clothes. After a few rustles, the door opened once again and Chen Zui came out fully clothed.
The pajamas he wore were also long-sleeves and long pants. However, he didn’t dress as strictly as Zhen Tian. The buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned.
Zhen Tian couldn’t help but be attracted to his large chest and visible ab muscles.
Does he still exercise? Thinking about his activities during their school days, she feels that it is normal for him to have abs.
Chen Zui looked at her and walked over, “What’s wrong? Your face is really red.”
He walked up to Zhen Tian, and put one hand on her waist and the other on the table behind her. The scent coming off him filled her nose.
He looked at her as if using his eyes to lock her in place. Zhen Tian’s heart was beating nonstop.
A few seconds later, Chen Zui slightly averted his eyes and landed on the screen on Zhen Tian’s phone, “Cleansing Mantra?”
Zhen Tian, “.....”
“This….” Just as Zhen Tian was about to explain herself, Chen Zui lowered his head and kissed her lips.
This kiss was affectionate and lingering. Although it was not as gentle as the previous times and a bit domineering, it still plundered her heart.
And stole her breath away.
When Chen Zui let go of her, she no longer had the strength to say anything or to stand straight. Chen Zui supported her waist to prevent her from falling, “I also need the Cleansing Mantra.”
Zhen Tian’s breath became uneven again with his words. The strength of his hand on her waist increased as he pressed his lips to her ear, “I don’t want to sleep on the sofa tonight. Let’s sleep together.”
Zhen Tian’s heart was about to jump out of her chest. She doesn’t object to doing those things with Chen Zui but she couldn’t help but wonder if they are moving too fast. However, she came to his house and it would be hypocritical to say that she hasn’t thought about it.
“Don’t worry.” As if aware of her chaotic mind, Chen Zui kissed her cheek and appeased her, “I just want to hug you to sleep, nothing else.”
Uh…can a man be trusted when they say these words? Zhen Tian didn’t know how to answer and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist. Chen Zui’s eyes darkened slightly. He picked her up and put her on the bed. He could feel her nervousness as he patted her head.
Why isn’t he nervous right now?
“I’m going to blow dry my hair. You go to sleep first.” He said in her ear and he coaxed her in a low voice. Seeing her finally relax a little, he got up and went to dry his hair.
Zhen Tian listened to the whirring sound of the dryer and couldn’t fall asleep. However, when the sound finally stopped, she closed her eyes lightning-fast.
Rather than feigning sleep, she looked like she was feigning death.
When Chen Zui came in, he got into the other side of the bed. Zhen Tian felt a dip on her side followed by a heat source.
That is Chen Zui’s chest.
Immediately afterward, Chen Zui put his arm around her waist, wrapping herself in his arms.
Before he completely lied side, he supported his weight on one side and whispered in her ear, “When will you learn not to call me senior?”
His low voice sounded particularly sexy at this moment. She could feel his lips open and close and his breath blowing against her ear. Zhen Tian’s ears turned bright red. Hearing Chen Zui chuckle, she slowly opened her eyes.
Chen Zui looked at her, feeling quite happy, “Not pretending to sleep anymore?”
Zhen Tian pursed her lips and turned to face him, “I was pretending to sleep for your own good.”
“Oh?” Chen Zui laid down beside her with his arms still around her waist, “It seems that Xiao Tiantian understands very well.”
This sentence silence Zhen Tian once again. Chen Zui leaned forward and kissed her lips. “Don’t worry, if I say I won’t do it, then I won’t do it.”
Really….?
Although she was doubtful, she didn’t test his bottom line. She closed her eyes and asked, “I saw medicine on the table. Is it to help you sleep?”
“En.” Chen Zui responded with a low voice and closed his eyes, “Most news anchors deal with this problem. Either suffering from insomnia or nightmares.”
Zhen Tian looked up at him, “You also have nightmares?”
“Yes.”
“What kind?”
“Hm…for example, I dreamed that it was dawn when I woke up and missed the morning news. Or I would get the script right before the live broadcast and find that there are words I don’t know.”
“Haha.” Although it was a nightmare, Zhen Tian slightly laughed when she heard this, “That is really scary. There wasn’t enough time to look it up in the dictionary?”
“It was too late. One time, I dreamt that the countdown for the live broadcast started and I still hadn’t put my contacts on. I almost went to get Lasik because of this.”
“Then why didn’t you do it?” When she saw him today, he was wearing glasses so he didn’t get the operation.
“I can’t find the time.”
“Hm…” Zhen Tian leaned against his chest and subconsciously rubbed against it, “You guys are under a lot of pressure.”
Live broadcasts are inherently nerve-wracking and they have to do this every day.
“You get used to it.” Chen Zui’s voice was lower, carrying a bit of fatigue, “I have a feeling I will sleep well tonight.”
Zhen Tian was infected by his sleepiness and yawned, “Why?”
“Because you are in my arms.” Chen Zui’s lips unconsciously curled up, “Let’s go to sleep, good night.”
“Good night.”
Ever since Zhen Tian opened the bar, she had never slept this early. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. Hearing Chen Zui’s steady heartbeat and long breaths, she fell asleep right away.
At 3 in the morning, Chen Zui’s alarm sounded in a timely manner. He opened his eyes as usual, his mind blank for a moment. Soon, he found Zhen Tian in his arms and his senses returned. Zhen Tian looked obedient as she slept, she hardly moved around. Chen Zui smiled and turned off his alarm.
Touching her head, just as he sat up, Zhen Tian opened her eyes and look at him in confusion, “Hm? Are you getting up? It’s 3?”
“En.” Chen Zui bent down and kissed her forehead, “Go back to sleep, it’s still early.”
“No, I want to get up too.” Zhen Tian said, struggling to get up, “I told myself I will make you breakfast this morning.”
Chen Zui couldn’t help laughing. He pressed the struggling Zhen Tian down and said, “No need. I can make my own breakfast. It’s still early so you should go back to sleep.”
“No, I want to get up.”
Chen Zui let go of her and watch her moving around but never leaving the bed, “Can you really get up?”
“En! With the power of love, I can do it!” Zhen Tian finally opened her eyes wide at this moment. She was able to move the quilt away and get up. Chen Zui bent down, pressed her back down under the blanket, and kissed her on the lips.
Zhen Tian was muddled by his soft kiss. Chen Zui saw that she was silent and let go. He buried his head to her ear and softly coaxed, “Go back to sleep, darling.”
Chen Zui’s voice was so soothing she fell asleep within 3 seconds.
Looking at her, Chen Zui couldn’t help but helplessly chuckle. He pulled the quilt over her and kissed her lips again before freshening up.
Although Zhen Tian delayed some time when she woke up, he still arrived at the station on time. There is no moment of rest in the station, even in the evening. On the way to the prep room, Chen Zui bumped into a few staff members. When they meet, they would greet each other with “good morning.”
Most of the time, Chen Zui would simply nod back and respond with a short “morning.” However, today, not only did he respond with a full “good morning,” his lips were slightly upturned.
As a result, the entire station was in a discussion of “what happened to Anchor Chen today.”
Xiao Yu had already been familiar with this good-mood Anchor Chen for a while now. When she put on is makeup, she couldn’t help but sigh, “Teacher Chen, did you sleep well last night? Your sleep has improved a lot recently.”
Chen Zui lightly smiled, “If people didn’t know, they would think you are my doctor, not my makeup artist.”
“The quality of sleep can be reflected on your skin.” Xiao Yu is usually like Chen Zui. She doesn’t talk much and doesn’t have many expressions on her face. However, sometimes when she sees Chen Zui, she still shows some surprise, “Are you dating?”
In the past, she would never ask Chen Zui this kind of question but she accidentally blurted it out today.
Chen Zui doens’t mind. Because of Tian Sen’s big mouth, his being in a relationship has already spread to the entire station. Also, previously, Zhen Tian had come to the station to look for him, so it has already been confirmed.
“En.” He simply responded.
Xiao Yu didn’t say anything and ended the conversation.
After the morning news broadcast, Chen Zui found out Deng Liyang came to work after he left the studio. His arm doesn’t seem to be fully recovered and his movements looked to be a little stiff. However, the smile on his face is very bright, not looking like someone who just broke his hand or just got dumped.
“Morning.” When he saw Chen Zui coming over, he greeted him with a smile. Chen Zui looked at him for a few moments and walked to his seat, “Didn’t you ask for a month of leave? Why are you back?”
“How can I continue to sit at home?” Deng Liyang’s expression dimmed as he frowned, “I’m miserable at home alone. Where’s Li Miao? She went to the mountain with her colleague to play in the water. She posts 10 times a day in her Moments!”
Chen Zui looked up at him with an unexpected look, “You two have broken up and she hasn’t blocked you yet?”
“....I should be the one to want to block her!” Deng Liyang comfort himself. When this topic is mentioned again, he felt his heart ache.
“So what does this have to do with you coming back to work?”
“I came back to work so I can appear on TV! I will disgust them every day at noon!”
“.....” After a moment of silence, Chen Zui said to him, “You are thinking too much. I believe Li Miao will never watch the afternoon news again in her life.”
Deng Liyang, “....”
He shouldn’t have expected much from him!
Chen Zui chuckled and gave him a comforting look, “But it’s good to come back to work. Without love, at least there is still a career and money.”
Deng Liyang looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, “Did you just laugh? You even know how to comfort people?”
Chen Zui pursed his lips. Seems like people like Deng Liyang like to be abused by others.
“Honestly speaking, is your relationship going well lately? Success is written all over your face.” Deng Liyang suddenly remembered that it was going as smoothly as he said, “By the way, on Weibo, it said that you are being kept by a rich woman. What’s the situation?”
“It has been resolved.” This matter has been handled, and Chen Zui doesn't want to mention it anymore.
Deng Liyang glanced at Lu Fan who was sitting not far away. He walked over to Chen Zui and asked in a low voice, “Does it have something to do with Lu Fan? I long known that kid doesn’t have any good intentions.”
“Tian Sen should have talked to him. He should know how to behave in the future.”
This is the same as admitting that Lu Fan was involved in this matter. Deng Liyang clicked his tongue, “It seems that the station can’t do without me. If I’m not here, there will be people trying to be villains. Don’t worry, if he causes you any trouble again, I will help you end him.”
Chen Zui helplessly smiled, “How’s your arm?”
“It’s getting better. Anyway, my job involved my mouth, it had little to do with my hands.”
The rookie anchor who was listening to the side slightly frowned. What terrible topic are these two seniors discussing?
“Let’s grab a meal together after my noon broadcast.” Deng Liyang extended an invitation to Chen Zui.
Chen Zui coldly rejected him, “I’m going home for lunch.”
“Why? Your nephew isn’t home.”
“None of your business.”
“....” Where’s the talk of being brothers?
Chen Zui didn’t wait for Deng Liyang at noon. After he finished his work and talked to Tian Sen, he went home first. Before leaving, he sent a message to Zhen Tian, “Are we having lunch today?”
Zhen Tian quickly sent a reply, “Yes! Are you coming back?”
Chen Zui: En, I’m leaving right now.
Zhen Tian: Ah, then I will hurry up
Chen Zui: Don’t worry, I will be back to help you.
Zhen Tian: No, I can do it myself! It will be done soon
Chen Zui smiled and put away his phone as he started the car.
When he arrived home, just as he was about to open the door, it was opened from the inside. Zhen Tian was standing inside wearing his apron, “You’re back.”
“En.” Chen Zui felt his heart soften and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, “Is lunch ready?”
“It’s ready!” Zhen Tian proudly announced.
Chen Zui put on his slippers and rubbed her head, “Is my kitchen okay?”
“....” Zhen Tian pondered for a moment, “Uh..well….”
Chen Zui raised a brow, “Is this question difficult to answer?”
“It’s not good nor is it bad. It’s a bit messy and needs to be tidied up.”
“Oh.” Chen Zui smiled and went to the kitchen to have a look. Pots and pans were scattered around the countertop, not even the sink was spared. There are inconspicuous black burn marks on the pans and dirty rags are thrown here and there.
“It’s better than I expected.
“....” Zhen Tian couldn’t take it anymore, “How bad did you think it was going to be?”
She also runs an eatery. Although she is not a chef, she can brew beer!
“Okay, you go out first. I will start serving!”
Zhen Tian pushed Chen Zui out. He looked back at the covered dish on the counter and asked, “We’re having Western cuisine today?”
“En.” Zhen Tian smiled boastfully, “Have you ever had red wine with Western food?”
“En.” Chen Zui nodded.
“What about beer?”
Chen Zui raised his lips, “I look forward to it.”
