Chapter 17: The Uninvited Guest

  Chu Tian Shu felt a bit suffocated, her throat "gulp" once, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva in an unrefined manner. In her mind, she couldn't help but silently lament: The leader, wearing casual home clothes with a plain face, was actually more beautiful, more approachable, and emitted a more enticing charm than when wearing professional attire and lightly made up.

  "Come in." As soon as she spoke, Jian Yueming's tone was still as cold and icy as usual, without any hint of relaxation despite Chu Tian Shu being drenched in sweat. It could be heard that her heart was not only dissatisfied but also seemed to have a bit of disgust.

  Chu Tian Shu carried a suitcase and was about to step inside the door.

  Jian Ruoming called out: "Wait."

  Chu Tian Shu's raised foot didn't dare touch the ground.

  She bent down and opened a cabinet door at the entrance, pulled out a pair of disposable slippers from inside, and threw them on the ground.

  The action lasted for only a few seconds.

  Chu Tian Shu lowered his head to take a look, and all he saw was the neckline of her casual clothes, where a small patch of tender chest and a small piece of pink underwear flashed before his eyes, causing him to swallow hard again with a "gulp".

  A woman's sixth sense is very powerful.

  Jian Ruo Ming deliberately coughed and a look of displeasure flashed across his face. His expressionless face said, "Change your shoes."

  Chu Tian Shu's face turned hot, and sweat broke out on her back. She couldn't help but despise herself for revealing such a flirtatious expression when she was in close proximity to Jian Ruo Ming for the first time, it was really too shameful.

  After changing into slippers, Chu Tian Shu carried his luggage and entered the door.

  As soon as I entered the room, I caught a whiff of a refreshing fragrance, light and subtle, invigorating my senses and making me feel refreshed.

  The kitchen still wafted out the aroma of dishes, and Chu Tian Shu's throat made another "gulp" sound, this time not because of the beauty of the food, but because he strongly felt his stomach growling with hunger.

  Chu Tian Shu only then remembered, from yesterday morning after eating breakfast until now, he had only drunk a few bottles of beer with Liu Chun Na on Windy Street. During this time, he received two calls from Tian Ke Ming and had sex twice, and also carried a large cardboard box up to the fourth floor in one breath.

  "Director Jian, where should I put it?" Chu Tian Shu stood in the hallway of the living room.

  "Put it in the study room, I'll organize it myself later." Jian Yu's slight discomfort in her mind was slightly alleviated, and it turned out that this little guy's swallowing sound was not because of evil intentions but because of hunger.

  However, there was still not a hint of smile on her face, because when Chu Tian Shu walked past her, the stench of sweat on him made her extremely uncomfortable, and the original unpleasantness that had been suppressed rose up again. She subconsciously pulled shut the glass door of the kitchen, as if afraid that the stench would seep into the dishes she had just cooked.

  As soon as Chu Tian Shu was about to put down the cardboard box in the study, Jian Ruo Ming shouted again: "Wait. Let's put it on the balcony instead."

  It turned out that when Chu Tian Shu put down the box from his shoulder, Jian Ruo Ming found a thin layer of dust on the box, and there were also dusty marks on Chu Tian Shu's T-shirt, so she stopped him and asked him to move the cardboard box to the balcony.

  Chu Tian Shu had no choice but to pick up the box again, passing through the living room and arriving at the balcony. He finally felt a bit relieved in his heart. With a sudden burst of strength, he swung the cardboard box off his shoulder and placed it on the balcony.

  "Bang." A coat rack hit him on the head.

  Chu Tian Shu stretched out his hand and grabbed something, but what he caught was a pink peach blossom bra.

  "Good heavens, you...!" Jian Ruoming's face changed drastically as she rushed over, snatched the peach blossom blouse from Chu Tian Shu's hands and stormed into the bathroom.

  Chu Tian Shu was stunned and stood in the living room at a loss for what to do.

  Fortunately, Jian Ruoming's phone on the dining table in the living room rang.

  Jian Ruoming glanced at the caller ID, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she still answered the phone with a warm and cheerful tone: "Secretary Fang, hello! ... Nothing's wrong, just tidying up my room. ... What? You're coming over? Oh dear, I'm so sorry about that. ... You'll be here soon, okay, okay, welcome, welcome."

  Although Jian Ruoming said "welcome" on the phone, which sounded very enthusiastic, Chu Tian Shu clearly saw from her expression when she answered the phone that she not only didn't have any welcoming intention towards this sudden visitor, but also seemed to be full of annoyance.

  Hurry up and leave, don't make Jian Ruoming unhappy again.

  "Director Jian, I'm leaving." Chu Tian Shu quickly walked from the balcony to the door and was about to open it when Jian Ruo Ming shouted again: "Wait!"

  "Director Jian, anything else?" Chu Tian Shu turned his head back, already starting to change his shoes.

  Jian Ruoming hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiao Chu, we've been busy all morning, let's eat first before leaving."

  Chu Tian Shu almost didn't dare believe his own ears and stood stunned at the door.

  "Hurry up, don't dawdle," Jian Ruoming looked Chu Tian Shu up and down a few times, then: "Little Chu, you go take a bath first, I'll go to the supermarket at the entrance to buy you a set of clean pajamas."

  No wonder you're a leader, considering problems thoroughly and arranging things in an orderly manner.

  While talking, Jian Ruoming had already untied her apron and went into the bedroom to put on a long dress. When she came out, she casually threw a towel at Chu Tian Shu and grabbed a small bag hanging by the door, changing her shoes while urging: "Little Chu, hurry up, we'll have dinner after washing up."

  Jian Ruoming had just stepped out of the door when Chu Tianshu grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom.

  As soon as he entered, Chu Tian Shu first saw the peach blossom blouse from earlier, thrown on a plastic clothes hanger, and next to it was a white silk triangle underwear.

  "How come everyone is wearing this style of bra? Is it the trend this year?" Chu Tian Shu couldn't help but pick up that peach blossom bra, took a closer look, and based on intuition, it should be bigger than Liu Chun Na's and smaller than Du Yu Fei's.

  Just as he reached the door, he stopped. A bad idea popped into his mind, and he thought to himself: "I wonder what Jian Ruoming would think if she saw me holding her underwear?"

  Chu Tian Shu smiled, put the peach blossom chest back in its original place, took off all his clothes, and admired his robust body in front of the mirror. Then he turned on the faucet and started taking a bath.

  "Why is she in such a hurry? She even forgot to take out her undergarments." Chu Tian Shu muttered to himself, he knew that Jian Ruo Ming's one hundred and eighty degree turn in attitude was definitely because of that unpleasant phone call.

  Chu Tian Shu carefully picked out shampoo and body wash from a large pile of bottles, gently massaging her hair and body, then closed her eyes, standing under the faucet, thoroughly enjoying the comfortable feeling of warm water rinsing over her skin.

  "Bang." The sound of the door closing came from outside the bathroom.

  Jian Ruoming should be back by now.

  "How come you haven't finished washing yet?" Jian Ruo Ming stood outside the bathroom. "Don't wash anymore, hurry up and change your clothes to come out and eat."

  Chu Tian Shu turned off the water valve and opened the bathroom door a crack, taking over a paper bag handed in by Jian Ruoming.

  Open it and find a set of blue plaid ordinary polyester pajamas and a pair of white men's underwear.

  Chu Tian Shu wiped off the water droplets on his body, put on his underwear, feeling a bit tight. He then changed into his pajamas and opened the door.

  Jian Ruomingzheng took the dishes out of the kitchen and heard the sound, then gave another order: "Mop the floor and clean up the water. Hurry up."

  Chu Tian Shu walked out of the bathroom, smelling the fragrance, and saw that three dishes were already placed on the dining table in the living room. She swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva secretly.

  The first dish is tomato scrambled eggs, the simplest home-cooked dish, but with red and yellow alternating, both color and fragrance are complete; The second dish is deep-fried small yellow fish, just looking at that golden color, you can feel the crispy taste; The third dish is stir-fried small green vegetables, a piece of emerald green, although it's just a vegetarian dish, but the aroma makes people drool.

  Chu Tian Shu was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back, and seeing the three dishes full of color, fragrance, and flavor, he almost sat down immediately and started eating a few big bowls. However, seeing Jian Ruo Ming still busy in the kitchen, he had to hold back his saliva and put on a bit of elegance, asking: "Director Jian, do you need any help?"

  "It's not necessary." Jian Yueming's tone was very stiff and didn't sound like a hostess at all.

  Chu Tian Shu could only stand awkwardly in the living room, enduring the temptation of the delicious food smell, and glanced around the room.

  This is a two-bedroom apartment with an area of about 80 square meters. The overall decoration tone is mainly white, complemented by light green accents. At this time, it's early summer, and the outside sunshine is brilliant. However, the elegant colors in the room have reduced the sweltering heat, making people feel refreshed and invigorated, like a spring breeze.

  When renting a house, Chu Tian Shu and several people from the comprehensive department came here. The empty room was filled with dust and was very simple. But after it fell into Jian Ruoming's hands, it didn't take long to become brand new, becoming refreshing and elegant, comfortable and pleasant.

  Chu Tian Shu couldn't help but sigh in admiration, this house is indeed a reflection of its owner!

  Jian Ruoming brought out another bowl of purple seaweed egg drop soup from the kitchen and placed it in the center of the dinner table. She glanced at Chu Tian Shu a few times, then looked towards the door and said: "Sit down and eat."

  "Hmm... Director Jian, is there any rice?" Chu Tian Shu sat down, took a look at the three dishes and one soup, and asked timidly.

  Jian Ruoming looked up at him and said, "Just make do with eating, I didn't prepare your meal."

  You didn't even prepare my meal, how can you still ask me to eat? Chu Tian Shu, who was starving, suddenly became speechless.

  These three dishes and a soup on the table are not enough for him to eat alone. If it weren't for Jian Ruoming sitting opposite, Chu Tian Shu would be able to finish everything in three minutes, licking the plates clean.

  Jian Yu took a small bowl of purple seaweed egg drop soup and scooped it up with a spoon, drinking while keeping an eye on the door.

  Chu Tian Shu could only learn from Jian Ruo Ming's example, silently drinking the soup, but her eyes were secretly looking at those few golden yellow small yellow fish.

  The two people stopped talking and each drank their soup in silence.

  "Ding dong, ding dong." The doorbell rang.

  Jian Ruo Ming suddenly stood up and said: "Xiao Chu, someone's coming. Stop eating and put away your bowl and chopsticks."

  It was better not to drink soup at first, but after drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, the feeling of hunger became even stronger.

  Upon hearing Jian Ruoming's order, Chu Tian Shu almost collapsed.

  Who the hell is this, really knows how to pick a time!
