learned that everything she had sent over was thrown away after being received.Ning Shu just gave up.He returned to the school, looking at the empty seat where the boy used to be, a glimmer of hope i...And Qi Jun's place seemed to be... more than usual. Ning Shu just thought about it for a moment, and her head felt slightly dizzy.

Then, she tried hard to shake the thoughts from her mind and closed her eyes.

I thought, maybe... I won't have to go that far

After all, with the female lead around, Qi Jun's orientation was always towards women. It might just be a temporary interest for him...

Perhaps things have gotten to that point, where Mr. Qi might find it even harder to accept than him.

Ning Shu pursed her lips, as for the kiss from that day. He gently closed his eyes, as if he could still feel the trace of the man's tongue lapping at his palate.

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, thinking that Qi Jun's desires might only be as superficial as a quick kiss or hug.

……

Ning Shu was worried that the orange cat would have some stress reactions to the new environment, but luckily, the orange cat adapted well.

But whenever Qi Zong appears, it immediately opens those round big eyes of its, tilts its head a little bit vigilantly, and then hides.

"It seems like it doesn't like me very much." Qizong lowered his eyes slightly and said to the young man in a calm voice.

Ning Shu felt a little awkward, so she waved her hand and softly called out to the orange cat.

The orange cat tilted its head to look at him, then glanced at Qi Jun standing beside him. After a moment's hesitation, it didn't go over.

Only two front paws were crouched there.

Ning Shu helplessly sighed and called out to the orange cat twice, her voice soft: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Qi won't eat you."

Standing behind him, Qi Jun's gaze had already returned, falling on the young man. Inside, the tide surged and rolled, as if it would swallow a person in the next moment.

The orange cat sitting there widened its pupils, then quickly turned around and jumped to the second floor, disappearing.

…

Aunt Wang said the orange cat is missing.

Ning Shu looked everywhere, but couldn't find any trace of it. He remembered that the orange cat had run upstairs earlier, so he hesitated for a moment and went up, searching every place the cat might be hiding.

But the orange cat was never found.

Except for one place.

Ning Shu looked up and saw that it was Qi's room.

He raised his hand and tentatively knocked on the door.

"Qi, General."

But no one responded.

Ning Shu put down his hand. He only wanted to ask Qi Jun about the whereabouts of the orange cat.

But when he heard no sound from within, his heart moved slightly.

Raise your hand and open the door.

Ning Shu didn't intend to go in. He just wanted to stand at the doorway and see if the orange cat would jump out from some corner.

But as I pushed open the door, all I heard was a low, labored breathing.

Ning Shu was slightly taken aback.

His breath came in ragged gasps, a little rough and strained.

He looked a little lost.

But Ning Shu quickly came to her senses. This was Qi Zong's room, so the voice was very likely Qi Zong's.

With the dim light.

Ning Shu seemed to see a figure lying on the bed, the man's arm slightly bent, with his back facing her.

He subconsciously wanted to lift his foot, but then he heard that low voice grunt softly, and then in a hoarse voice, he said, "Ning Secretary..."

It was then that Ning Shu noticed the figure's arms sliding up and down, and he suddenly came to his senses.

Then she turned abruptly, pursed her lips, and closed the door.

Ning Shu stood at the door, her heart pounding with a mixture of shock and embarrassment.

He didn't expect to run into Mr. Qi...like this, and he was even calling his name.

He was in a state of panic, and he didn't even think about why Qi Jun's door was so easy to push open. Then he returned to his own room.

Ning Shu sat there in a daze, Qi Zong was...

He initially thought it was his imagination, but the heavy breathing...

Ning Shu said that it wasn't true that he wasn't flustered. He thought Qi Jun's feelings for him only went as far as a kiss.

After that day, Qi Jun never kissed him again.

So Ning Shu was guessing, wasn't it that Qi Zong realized he was essentially the same man as himself.

But now, Ning Shu calmed down for a while and still couldn't get over it. It wasn't until he touched something soft halfway through that he came to his senses.

Lowering his head, he watched the orange cat rubbing against his legs.

Ning Shu was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, “So you’ve been in my room this whole time.”

He picked up the tabby cat and said he didn't regret it, though that was a lie.

If Ning Shu hadn't pushed open that door, he wouldn't have heard Qi Zong's voice. Nor would he have seen the figure of a man on the bed, with powerful arms stretching down...

Even though it wasn't very clear, Ning Shu could faintly see the rise and fall of his arm muscles.

with a strange and alluringly flushed air.

Ning Shu lowered her eyes and bit her lip.

He thought Mr. Qi probably hadn't noticed him come in.

Then Ning Shu decided as if nothing had happened.

Then the next day, the man came down from above. He then raised his handsome and refined face, in a low voice said: "Good morning, Secretary Ning."

Seeing the other person's face, Ning Shu thought of the scene she had encountered last night.

He couldn't help but immediately lower his eyes and then said, "Good morning."

Qi Jun sat in his seat and said in a calm tone, "Did Secretary Ning sleep well last night"

Ning Shu pursed her lips, a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks.

It's possible that the shock of the scene was too much for him. He even dreamed of CEO Qi lying on the bed, his head bowed and his back hunched, the blue veins on his back slightly prominent.

Then the man lifted that handsome face and let out a low chuckle, “Secretary Ning, are you finished looking”

Ning Shu's gaze met his, and within it, he saw a terrifying part of her, so straight and piercing.

Then he woke up quickly.

Thinking about this bizarre dream, Ning Shu couldn't help but blush, then avoided the other person's gaze and replied awkwardly, "I'm fine."

Qi Jun, however, was watching him intently.

When Ning Shu looked over, the man was leisurely enjoying his breakfast and said in a low voice, "I dreamed about Secretary Ning again last night."

He spoke, his phoenix eyes gazing at the listener.

Beneath that peaceful gaze, there lies an endless churning.

Ning Shu seemed to have been stared at, quickly shifting her gaze away.

Qi Jun didn't mind much, wiping his lips.

Then, in a low voice, he said: “I painted a picture and would like Ms. Ning to see it.”

……

Ning Shu probably doesn't have much talent for painting. His paintings aren't very good-looking or ugly, at most they are just mediocre.

So when he walked into the studio, he thought he would see painting after painting.

But the next moment he was stunned, for those paintings were covered with white cloth, concealing their outlines and appearances.

While Qi Jun said: “These paintings were all painted recently, but there is one painting I want Ning Secretary to see.”oesn't like being someone else's shoulder to cry on."Before it arrives.How could they have imagined that Yang Ling's stepson, brought over by his stepmother, would be so beautiful.It's too much to han...
