Chapter 125: Chapter 126 A Pleasant Surprise (2)
Actually, ever since Rong Zhi kissed Lou Xi in the hospital last time, she has deliberately avoided him, especially since she is still with Qin Mobai. She should avoid other men even more.
But isn’t today a special case? Rong Zhi’s family is all back home, in Nancheng, and she’s been friends with Rong Zhi for many years. At this time, when he is in trouble, Lou Xi should come forward to help.
Previously, when Lou Xi was in trouble, didn’t Rong Zhi also help her?
Fortunately, Rong Zhi lives in a mid-rise building with an elevator, otherwise, carrying such a heavy man upstairs would be a very difficult task!
There was a password at the door.
Lou Xi was already panting with exhaustion. She tried to stand properly and patted Rong Zhi’s cheek.
"Brother Rong, what’s your home password? You have to tell me so I can open the door! Or you can enter it yourself, I won’t look!"
Perhaps Rong Zhi knew it was Lou Xi supporting him, so he unconsciously leaned his body closer to Lou Xi.
His head rested on Lou Xi’s shoulder, the unique fragrance of the girl wafting into the man’s nostrils, particularly pleasant.
He seemed to relish this smell and sniffed it for a little longer.
"Brother Rong, hurry up and open the door, I really... can’t support you anymore!" Lou Xi was almost out of strength, truly exhausted beyond words.
"The password..." Rong Zhi said slowly, "is your birthday..."
Rong Zhi’s voice was low, and somewhat hoarse from drinking alcohol.
His head was resting on Lou Xi’s shoulder, so when he spoke, he was right by her ear.
The warm breath brushed against her neck, feeling a bit ticklish and warm.
This can’t be...
Suddenly, she pushed Rong Zhi away, feeling that this distance was too close. Even though he was drunk now, it shouldn’t be like this...
In the instant she pushed him away, Rong Zhi, having lost support, was about to fall to the ground —
Lou Xi frowned and hurriedly went over to support him again.
Forget it, for the sake of their many years of friendship, this would be the last time.
After this, she must set boundaries with Rong Zhi.
She always believed that there is no pure friendship between men and women.
If there must be, it’s because either the man or the woman is too unattractive for the other to ever consider a romantic relationship.
She thought she and Rong Zhi were both decently good-looking, so naturally pure friendship didn’t exist.
After all, her feelings for Rong Zhi before were not pure friendship...
Thinking so, Lou Xi supported Rong Zhi with one hand and pressed the password with the other.
It really was... her birthday.
Why would Rong Zhi use her birthday as the password?
When did Rong Zhi start having different feelings for her?
All of this, Lou Xi didn’t know, but now, perhaps knowing was unnecessary...
Opening the door, Lou Xi helped Rong Zhi inside.
In sight was a two-bedroom apartment, tidily organized, with a minimalist black, white, and gray decor, very much matching Rong Zhi’s character.
After throwing Rong Zhi onto the bed, Lou Xi prepared to leave. After all, staying alone with a man and a woman isn’t appropriate.
But as she just took two steps, she heard Rong Zhi on the bed muttering, "Water... water..."
When Lou Xi turned back, she saw that Rong Zhi seemed to be lying on the bed feeling very uncomfortable, trying to unbutton his shirt with one hand but unable to do so.
"Forget it, I’ll pour you a glass of water before I leave!" So, Lou Xi walked into the kitchen, only to find there wasn’t any hot water, and she would have to boil some!
