Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Chapter 2647 It’s raining in Nancheng tonight 08

When I woke up again, the room was pitch black.

It was still daytime when I went to bed, but now it is night outside the window.

Xie Linzhou sat up, hugging the quilt, feeling a little dazed for a moment, surrounded by boundless loneliness. He didn't know what day it was, and had the illusion that he was abandoned by the passage of time. His heart was empty and boundless.

He sat on the bed for a long time before reaching out to grope for the cell phone on the bedside table.

The screen lit up, showing nine o'clock in the evening, and there were many unread messages from Jinchen on the lock screen.

Xie Linzhou pulled the quilt tighter and made a video call.

Now, he really wants to hear Jinchen's voice.

The call was quickly connected. Xie Linzhou didn't speak first, wanting to hear Jinchen speak first.

"Zhou Zhou." Jin Chen's voice came softly. The background seemed a little empty, and there was a faint sound of wind.

Jinchen answered the phone on the balcony and turned to walk into the room.

Xie Linzhou seemed to have found his voice again and asked softly, "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Jinchen sat down on the sofa. "I quit my job and just came back from looking at venues outside."

Xie Linzhou didn't know whether to ask about the new venue or talk about something else. Silence stretched between the two ends of the line, but it didn't seem awkward.

He looked out the window at the thick night and suddenly asked, "It's not raining in Milan today, what about Nancheng?"

Jinchen turned his head and looked out the balcony window, "It's raining in South City."

Then, Jinchen heard Xie Linzhou muttering almost inaudibly on the other end of the phone: "No wonder..."

The voice was very small, like an illusion. Jinchen frowned slightly. What was so strange?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Zhou Zhou, are you unhappy?"

Xie Linzhou felt that he hadn't revealed any emotion, but he couldn't hide his surprise, "A little... How did you know?"

Jinchen said: "Once you said it, I will know it."

Xie Linzhou was stunned. Did he say that? He just asked if it was raining in Nancheng...

It's so obscure, how could Jinchen know it?

He buried his face in the soft quilt. He never expected that this would happen. It was as if he was overwhelmed by Jinchen's sharp mind. His heart softened and almost melted. Finally, a little warmth spread in his empty chest.

"A design team wanted to snatch the project," Xie Linzhou said softly, "but I got it back."

Jinchen could tell Xie Linzhou didn't want to elaborate, so he just praised him, "Excellent."

"Zhou Zhou, you signed for the package I sent."

Xie Linzhou lifted the quilt, a little surprised: "You're here so soon? Today?"

He clicked on the message in the team group at the same time, and sure enough, he saw An Yu saying in the group that afternoon that a package for him had been signed for and left at the door.

Xie Linzhou held the phone in one hand, got out of bed, walked to the door and opened it.

"Luckily you arrived today," Jinchen's voice was filled with laughter. "Does it make you happier?"

"Yes." Xie Linzhou carried the box back to the room, put it on the bed, and began to unpack.

Inside was a bottle of red wine and a bag wrapped in cotton cloth.

He picked it up and smelled it suspiciously. It was a warm and spicy mixture of orange slices, cinnamon sticks and cardamom.

"Is it the spice bag for cooking mulled wine?" Xie Linzhou immediately remembered that during a video chat, he had mentioned casually that the weather was getting cooler and he felt like drinking mulled wine.

It was a sentence that he himself might not even take to heart.

"Well, don't you want to drink it?" Jin Chen said gently, "Turn on the video, I'll teach you how to make it."

Xie Linzhou's voice became lighter, "Okay."

The moment the video was connected, Xie Linzhou looked up at the screen. There were only a few warm yellow wall lamps on in the room, which made his eyes seem to be filled with a thin layer of water light.

He looked at the person on the other end of the screen, his voice softer than when he was on the phone just now, unconsciously relying on her, "Jinchen."

"I'm here." Jinchen switched to the computer video and adjusted the angle. The same red wine and spice bags were placed on the table.

He looked at Xie Linzhou, a smile flashing across his cold eyes, "Learn from me."

"Yeah." Xie Linzhou nodded, looking very obedient, which was really rare.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never listened to anyone's words like this, and he had never been so docile towards Xie Qiudong before.

Xie Linzhou put the spice bag into the glass pot as he was told. This was not a step that required much thinking. He only needed to focus on Jinchen, so he was inevitably a little distracted.

He felt that Jinchen was a rather contradictory person.

He clearly looked indifferent and had no interest in anything, like Mo Yu who was not interested in anyone, but this made people want to seduce him into falling in love.

Seeing that there was no movement over there, Jinchen raised his eyes to look at the screen, raised the corners of his lips slightly, bent his knuckles and tapped them in a lazy tone.

"Come back to your senses, Zhou Zhou."

Xie Linzhou blinked his eyelashes slightly, and quickly followed Jinchen's example to pour red wine into the pot, even controlling the scale.

He lowered his head slightly, revealing the reddish skin on the side of his neck, unknowingly attracting attention.

Jinchen's eyes lingered on that skin for a moment, and he stroked it with his fingertips.

The red wine was heating up, and a subtle gurgling sound gradually began to be heard.

Xie Linzhou ignored it and put it aside, looking at Jinchen on the screen carefully and chatting with him casually.

Jinchen's cell phone, which he had placed aside, rang. He shifted his attention and saw that it was Ren Xian.

"Who's calling?" Xie Linzhou asked casually when he heard the ringtone.

"Former boss." Jin Chenyan had no intention of answering the call and hung up directly.

Immediately, Ren Xian’s message came: Answer the phone, I have something urgent to talk to you about.

I still have time to send a message first. It seems that this matter is not that urgent.

Jinchen tapped the screen with his fingertips and replied: I sent a message saying I’m busy.

Then place the phone screen face down on the table.
