Xu Tingyu stared into his pitch - black eyes for a long time before suddenly breaking into a smile.
"Isn't it fun? Don't you think it's fun?" she said playfully.
Her waist was tightly grasped by his hand. She nestled in his arms, feeling the undulating chest muscles like mountains beneath his shirt, and inexplicably felt at ease.
She didn't know if he had really lost his memory, nor how he had come here.
She didn't even know whether he had taken her away now for revenge or really to regain his memory.
All she knew was that the panic and worry of these many days finally found an anchor at this moment.
Before Qi Shifeng could say a word, she suddenly buried her face in his neck, sniffed his familiar scent, and completely relaxed her body.
Tears welled up all at once and trickled into the man's collar.
Qi Shifeng, who had originally had his fingers in her hair, paused for a moment, then slowly let his hand slide down. He pinched her earlobe and then let his hand fall to her side face.
Neither of them said another word, and they made their way to Qi Shifeng's current residence.
He lived in a high - end flat in the city center. The location was excellent, and the decoration was clearly top - notch.
As they entered, there was an oil painting on the wall. If Xu Tingyu remembered correctly, this painting had once been featured in a magazine.
When changing shoes at the entrance, she noticed a pair of women's slippers that seemed to have been used.
She didn't touch them and stepped on the smooth floor tiles in her socks.
The temperature in autumn wasn't low, and since she was wearing socks, the coolness only gradually seeped up from the soles of her feet after a while.
The others were all arranged to stay on the floor below. Only Zhang Wan and Jiang Li came up with them.
Qi Shifeng changed his shoes, frowned as he looked at Xu Tingyu's feet, and then his gaze slowly shifted to her outfit.
"Do you usually dress like this?"
Following his words, the other two also shifted their gazes to her.
She had lost a lot of weight during this period. Her black sportswear, which had fit well before but now hung loosely on her, made her look slender and fragile.
Even though she was a beauty, this outfit didn't make her stand out.
Probably thinking that Qi Shifeng's words were a sign of his dislike for Xu Tingyu's appearance, a hint of mockery flashed in Zhang Wan's eyes.
Previously, she had always heard from Qi Ye that the relationship between these two was not good.
Now it seemed that was indeed the case.
Even after losing his memory, this man only seemed to dislike her!
This was the man she had been pining after. She didn't know what was so special about him.
Giving up Qi Ye for such a man was a big mistake.
She had previously thought that Xu Tingyu was smarter than Chen Chunyao, but now it seemed that she wasn't that much smarter.
Zhang Wan concealed the disdain in her expression and asked Jiang Li, who was standing there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought, "Where will I be staying?"
Standing here listening to these two commenting on the woman's outfit was so boring.
She might as well familiarize herself with the environment to prepare for what was to come.
Jiang Li then came back to his senses and nodded at her. "Please follow me."
Before they left, they took a look at the two who were talking.
Xu Tingyu and Qi Shifeng were about two or three meters apart. One was looking down at her clothes, and the other was looking at her from afar.
Humph, it was just a case of being attracted by appearance.
Zhang Wan sneered silently in her heart and didn't look anymore.
After the two disappeared into the corridor, Xu Tingyu looked up at Qi Shifeng. "What's wrong? Is it not nice?"
So he was still acting, huh? Well, she didn't mind acting with him.
Qi Shifeng's eyes darkened slightly. He quickly walked over, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him.
Then he lowered his head, rubbed his chin against the top of her head, and placed a kiss there.
"It's nice, but it doesn't seem to be your style."
There was a photo of her in his wallet, a very life - like one.
She was wearing a black dress, sitting on the sofa, and looking down as if talking to Youyou.
Her long hair was loose on her shoulders, and her expression was gentle.
Xu Tingyu seemed to remember something. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved up slightly as she let out a soft laugh.
The next second, as if it was muscle memory, the man picked her up.
He had been seriously injured and had even needed a wheelchair in front of Qi Ye.
But now, he picked her up with ease.
Xu Tingyu was startled that he would pick her up. She didn't dare to struggle at all and just hugged him tightly, whispering, "Are you okay?"
The man didn't say a word but answered her question with his actions.
The two went back to the master bedroom. She took the opportunity to look around.
The house was very tidy and didn't look like it had been unoccupied for a long time.
"Is this your house?"
She wasn't sure if there were surveillance cameras here, so she didn't ask about Youyou right away. Instead, she asked a seemingly insignificant question.
"No, it belongs to a friend. It's never been lived in."
He let her sit on the edge of the bed, then went out. Soon, he came back with a first - aid kit and a new pair of slippers.
The wound on her hand still hadn't been treated. The blood had dried, and against her fair skin, it looked rather gruesome.
Qi Shifeng knelt down in front of her, grasped her slender wrist, and said, "I'm going to clean it."
She gave a soft hum in response.
Even though she had mentally prepared herself, when the alcohol was poured on, she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and her fingertips involuntarily curled up.
Qi Shifeng didn't stop.
The longer it was delayed, the more the pain would be prolonged.
After quickly applying the medicine and sticking on the band - aid, he was packing up the first - aid kit when he said, "Take your clothes off."
Xu Tingyu, who had been staring blankly at the band - aid on her hand, suddenly looked up at him. "Now?"
They hadn't seen each other for over a month, but no matter if he had really lost his memory or not, he couldn't be that desperate.
There were still Zhang Wan and Jiang Li in the house, and there might even be other bugging devices.
Did he still have the mood for this?
Qi Shifeng still maintained his previous posture. His eyes were dark, and there was a hint of playfulness in them. "Not okay?"
Xu Tingyu frowned and didn't move. She just stared at him. "Did you find Youyou?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so relaxed, nor would he have directly rushed over to take her away.
Qi Shifeng didn't want to answer this question. He just leaned forward bit by bit.
She was forced to fall backward. Looking into his pitch - black eyes, she felt a bit flustered. "It's not that I won't, it's just that it's not convenient now..."
They were being watched at every move, and this feeling was so strange. She didn't want to do it.
"What's so inconvenient? There are no outsiders here."
Qi Shifeng asked deliberately, and his fingers also touched the zipper of her jacket. As if to torture her, he slowly pulled it down.
Her fingertips curled up again. For some reason, this made him feel a bit annoyed.
Was she resisting him or afraid of him?
It had only been a little over a month. Had she started to distance herself from him again in her heart?
