Theater parking lot.

Zheng Shiyin held up her umbrella, looking around.

Upon seeing the tall, slender man step out of the black Audi Q8, she couldn't look away after just one glance.

The man had a tall and superior physique, and his profile was so perfect that there was not a single flaw. When she saw him, her heart suddenly felt empty, and her heart skipped a beat.

She recognized him at a glance; he was Ning Xi's boyfriend.

This week, she ran into Ning Xi's boyfriend several times, who drove her to and from get off work.

She felt particularly bad.

How come Ning Xi was able to find such a high-quality man? She's so lucky.

The men surrounding her were either rich or good-looking.

She didn't understand where she fell short compared to Ning Xi.

The man stood quietly by the car, holding a black umbrella, replying to messages with his eyes lowered. A touch of gentleness softened his otherwise chilling aura.

Zheng Shiyin fixed her hair, then took out perfume from her bag and sprayed herself twice.

She swayed her hips as she approached the man.

Zheng Shiyin thought he would look up at her.

Unexpectedly, the man didn't give her a single glance the entire time; his gaze remained fixed on his phone the whole time.

It was as if she couldn't be seen.

Zheng Shiyin smiled politely and took the initiative to speak: "You're Ning Xi's boyfriend, right?"

He Kezhou lifted his eyelids when he heard Ning Xi's name.

The rich scent of perfume in the air softened the coolness in his dark eyes.

Zheng Shiyin didn't know how to describe a man's eyes.

Those dark, deep eyes could send shivers down your spine.

This was the first time she had ever seen such fierce, cold eyes.

She instinctively took a few steps back to create a safe distance.

Zheng Shiyin forced a smile and said softly, "I'm Teacher Ning's colleague, my surname is Zheng..."

Before she could finish her self-introduction, the man interrupted her: "What is it?"

The voice that reached my ears was deep and cold, filled with indifference and impatience.

Zheng Shiyin had never been treated so rudely by a man before.

In her heart, the desire to create distance between Ning Xi and her boyfriend was amplified infinitely.

Zheng Shiyin took out her phone, opened her photo album, and said with a sigh, "You don't know, do you? Your girlfriend is really popular."

She emphasized, "Especially men."

He Kezhou's brows furrowed suddenly as he glanced at the woman in front of him.

Zheng Shiyin showed him videos and photos of Ning Xi having lunch with the students' parents.

In the photos and videos, she deliberately only filmed Ning Xi and the students' parents.

"This student's parent is very attentive to Teacher Ning."

"Although I don't know why Teacher Ning invited another man to dinner without telling you, I can't stand people who are unfaithful in relationships."

Her words were deliberately misleading.

The man's gaze remained fixed on her phone screen, his expression unchanged, showing no sign of suspicion or displeasure towards his girlfriend.

Seeing his gaze drawn to the photos and videos on her phone, Zheng Shiyin felt that her words had been half successful.

She deliberately stirred up trouble: "Besides this student's parent, there are other people pursuing Teacher Ning, and that man is really aggressive in his pursuit."

"Teacher Ning is very troubled by this."

He Kezhou looked at the woman's clumsy attempt to provoke him and asked, "What's your purpose in telling me all this?"

Zheng Shiyin stood frozen in place.

"Jealous of my girlfriend?"

Zheng Shiyin's face flushed red and then turned pale as he saw her thoughts.

He Kezhou casually raised his gaze, "My girlfriend doesn't need my permission or to report to me what she wants to do or who she wants to have dinner with."

"She has her reasons for doing this."

The man's words revealed absolute trust in Ning Xi.

Zheng Shiyin, having made a fool of herself, was so angry that her nose was crooked.

She kindly told him these things, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

Zheng Shiyin put away her phone, feeling suffocated by his cold and intimidating aura, and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

He Kezhou raised the black umbrella in his hand, revealing his sharp, cold eyes. "Delete the photos and videos."

The man's words, though devoid of any emotional fluctuation, sent chills down Zheng Shiyin's spine.

Not only did they fail to sow discord, but they were also scared half to death by him.

Zheng Shiyin deleted the photos, dragged her injured leg, and left in a disheveled and hurried manner.

……

Ning Xi was completely unaware of Zheng Shiyin's instigation in the parking lot.

She arrived at the parking lot twenty minutes later.

Seeing He Kezhou waiting in the rain, Ning Xi held up an umbrella and walked briskly to him.

Even though they were a few steps apart, before she could even call out to him, He Kezhou pulled her into his arms with his long arms.

Ning Xi lowered the umbrella she was holding and looked up at him. "How did you know it was me?"

He Kezhou felt the softness in his arms and kissed her smooth forehead. "Footsteps, scent."

Her sweet and soft scent overpowered the lingering, pungent fragrance in the air, swirling around him in delicate wisps.

Ning Xi pointed to the inside of the car and looked at his wet trouser legs: "Why didn't you wait in the car? Your trouser legs are all wet."

He Kezhou held her, saying nothing, his eyes instantly burning with desire.

Ning Xi wrapped her arms around his neck. "He Kezhou, you look a little strange."

He Kezhou hugged her tightly: "Are you tired today?"

Ning Xi lazily rested her chin on his shoulder, "Just a little bit."

Exhausted from a day's work, she longed for He Kezhou's embrace.

She hugged He Kezhou around the waist: "Hold me tighter."

He Kezhou tightened his grip, holding her tightly in his arms.

Ning Xi's brows and eyes relaxed, looking both dependent and at ease.

He Kezhou's gaze fell on the mud stains on her skirt. He stretched out his long arm and steadily lifted her up in his arms, the skirt billowing in a graceful arc. His other hand still held the umbrella steadily, and his fingertips smoothly pushed open the passenger door.

Ning Xi sat in the passenger seat, feeling both amused and annoyed.

"You've got so much energy to burn, don't you?"

She could have gotten into the car by herself, but he insisted on carrying her.

I held her like I was holding a baby chick.

He Kezhou cupped her face and kissed her deeply.

Ning Xi wrapped her arms around his neck and shared a wet, passionate kiss with him in the car.

When the kiss ended, she was breathless and clutched He Kezhou's shirt collar. "He Kezhou, are you addicted to kissing?"

He discovered that he was getting better and better at kissing.

It's utterly irresistible.

He Kezhou patted her back and waist. "Hmm, I'm addicted to you."

Ning Xi heard his steady and powerful heartbeat.

She felt languid and hugged his neck to catch her breath.

On the way home, Ning Xi mentioned to him that she had treated the students and their uncles to dinner that day.

He Kezhou shifted his gaze from the red light countdown to her face.

His dark eyes were deep and serene.

Ning Xi tilted her head to look at him, "Why don't you ask me why I treated others to dinner?"

"You have your reasons for doing this."

However, he still can't help getting jealous.

He Kezhou's unreserved trust washed over her, making her heart burn with warmth and filling her completely.

"The student's uncle helped me, so I'm returning the favor. We won't have any further contact in the future."

After saying this, she reminded He Kezhou that the light had turned green.

He Kezhou absentmindedly pinched Ning Xi's fingers.

Ning Xi took his hand and placed a very light kiss on the back of his hand.

"Don't be jealous, you're the only one in my heart."

Ning Xi had no idea that her words would lead He Kezhou to carry her to bed the moment he entered the house.

Her reason crumbled completely from the kiss.

……

Ning Xi was held in his arms, her body covered in sweat, with lingering redness at the corners of her eyes.

"He Kezhou, you are not allowed to touch me for the next week."
