Chapter 1442: Meeting the Parents (3)

Zhou Qi’s body stiffened suddenly. He lowered his head abruptly while lifting Xiao Rou’s chin to kiss her deeply.

They were already sitting on the bed, so Zhou Qi naturally leaned over, completely pressing Xiao Rou beneath him.

This position was both ambiguous and dangerous.

Although Xiao Rou was certain she liked Zhou Qi and had known him for many years, knowing him was one thing; if she were to count the time they had been together as a couple, it hadn’t been very long.

Xiao Rou was never someone who could accept sudden, whirlwind romances, and she had never thought about taking things further with Zhou Qi right now.

However, in this ambiguous and dangerous position, Xiao Rou didn’t feel afraid at all.

Perhaps it’s because she believed Zhou Qi wouldn’t go too far with her, or maybe she trusted that even if he did, he wouldn’t abandon her afterwards.

No matter the reason, Xiao Rou felt very reassured.

Zhou Qi’s kiss gradually shifted from her lips to the corner of her mouth, then to her neck.

Their breaths intertwined, and this side of Zhou Qi was something Xiao Rou had never seen before, yet she didn’t feel frightened. A strong thought inside told her that Zhou Qi would not harm her, not even a little.

The heat between them made the air in the room seem to burn. Finally, as they both became enveloped in a tangled web of emotions, Zhou Qi’s last remaining trace of sanity allowed him to stop in time.

But he didn’t get up, instead burying his head in Xiao Rou’s neck, breathing heavily.

After a long time, Zhou Qi raised his head to look at Xiao Rou, his eyes bright and full of deep laughter.

The previous kiss didn’t make Xiao Rou feel embarrassed, and the dizzying tingling from their teasing didn’t embarrass her either. But now, being looked at by Zhou Qi like this made Xiao Rou increasingly unable to withstand his fiery gaze.

She awkwardly looked away.

Xiao Rou pressed her lips together, softly pushed at the person on top of her, “I want to get up.”

Zhou Qi chuckled twice and helped her up. Xiao Rou blushed, “Well, I’m going back to sleep first.”

“Mm, I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll go back together.”

Go back?

Xiao Rou immediately understood: being asked to go back to the Zhou Family together.

Xiao Rou had been to the Zhou Family before, but… but… she used to think of it as going to a good friend’s house. Now though… three words suddenly appeared in Xiao Rou’s mind: meet the parents!

Her face became even redder, and she hurriedly replied before rushing off.

The room door opened, and outside, Ah Shuang was walking past with a cup of water. Suddenly seeing Zhou Qi’s door open, he was startled at first, then realized it was Xiao Rou who opened the door, not Zhou Qi.

Ah Shuang almost spat out his mouthful of water, but he managed to swallow it with difficulty, pointing with trembling fingers, “You… you guys…”

Xiao Rou felt extremely embarrassed; she left Zhou Qi’s room late at night and was seen by someone. Xiao Rou rarely acted impolitely, ignoring Ah Shuang and quickly ran back to her room.

Ah Shuang stood there stunned, watched Xiao Rou’s retreating figure, then looked at Zhou Qi, smiling awkwardly, “Brother Qi, we do have minors in our team… Is this… alright?”

Zhou Qi glanced at him and then at the water cup in his hand, smiling very kindly, “I’ll gift you a water dispenser tomorrow.”

Ah Shuang felt a chill on his back and immediately straightened up, “I’ll go buy one tomorrow!”
