"What?" Lin Zhiyi looked at the palm in front of her with surprise.
"He must have given you something, and it’s still on you now," Gong Chen said.
"No, I haven’t taken anything from him, I... I have one thing."
Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment and took out her phone from her bag.
Gong Chen’s face darkened slightly, "He even has to give you a phone?"
"Not gave, it’s compensation. The seaside food festival in the town, he accidentally dropped my phone in the sea, and he compensated me with one."
Gong Chen took the phone, gave it a gentle shake, "Want to know if what I’m saying is true?"
"You mean checking the phone?"
"No, that’s too slow, I have a quicker way."
"What way?"
Lin Zhiyi felt that Gong Chen’s expression was strange.
Gong Chen didn’t say it clearly; he just started the car.
Ten minutes later, he parked the car at the entrance of the town’s only couples’ hotel.
Looking at the pink signboard, Lin Zhiyi was slightly taken aback.
Gong Chen slightly tilted his head, "Want to go in?"
Lin Zhiyi crossed her arms, "No!"
Gong Chen curved his lips slightly, "Wait for me in the car."
He pulled up his collar and took Lin Zhiyi’s phone into the hotel.
Ten minutes later, he came back to the car.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t see her phone, then she knew what he was up to.
"Will he come? If he really cared, shouldn’t he have come to the hotel where I was staying yesterday?"
"How do you know he didn’t come?" Gong Chen looked out the car window.
"You mean he might have been downstairs at the hotel last night?"
"Yes, it’s just that the suite elevator needs a room card swipe, so he couldn’t come up. Otherwise, do you think he wouldn’t want to come up?"
Saying this, Gong Chen turned to stare at her.
Lin Zhiyi felt uneasy under his gaze, rubbing her arms lightly. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
To avoid being recognized, they were in Liao Yi’s small car, the only downside was the heating wasn’t great, and the temperature difference by the seaside was quite large between day and night.
Just sitting for a while, she started to feel cold.
Lin Zhiyi breathed out, turned to get a thick coat from the luggage bag in the back seat.
Coincidentally, Gong Chen also turned, in the already cramped space, they almost collided.
"Cold?"
He didn’t move back, in the dark car, his eyes looked at Lin Zhiyi like a leopard staring at its prey.
Breathing was like a tide, as if invisibly approaching her.
Lin Zhiyi’s heart was pounding, feeling like it would be heard by Gong Chen the next second, she quickly sat back straight.
"Yes." She nodded slightly.
Gong Chen turned to take his coat from the back seat and wrapped it around Lin Zhiyi.
"Thank you."
She adjusted the coat, creating a bit of distance between them.
When Gong Chen heard the word "thank," his eyes darkened slightly, he didn’t say anything more, turning his gaze out the window.
Ten minutes later, Lin Zhiyi rubbed her still cold hands.
Ever since giving birth to Xingxing, she’s been more sensitive to cold.
In this season, the locals of Gang City still wore just sweaters, but she was already in a sweater and a coat.
She clenched her somewhat frozen hands.
Suddenly, the person beside her stretched his long arm over and tightly held her hand.
"So cold?"
"I’m fine, it’ll be okay in a while." Lin Zhiyi tried to pull back her hand.
As a result, not only did she fail to retract her hand, but he pulled her along with it.
When Lin Zhiyi touched the scorching skin, she shuddered as if electrocuted and couldn’t help but exclaim.
He actually stuffed her hand under his sweater.
"Don’t move," his breath was hot as he spoke in a deep, hoarse voice, "Otherwise... the room is already booked, can go upstairs anytime."
Lin Zhiyi’s face flushed; luckily, it was dark around.
"Not cold anymore?" he leaned in and asked softly.
