Chapter 2701: Dan Tingye Becoming a Stranger (6)
Dan Tingye shoved the cup into her hand, turned around, and went into her room to get a set of pajamas, hanging them in the bathroom.
He saw her obediently finish drinking the water and enter the bathroom, then turned and walked into the kitchen.
Washing ginger, cutting ginger, adding water... His movements were quick, with a hint of release.
He took brown sugar from the cupboard, poured it into the ginger tea, watching the boiling sugary water, memories of her fearful gaze at him floated in his mind, his deep black eyes shrouded in mist, his hand on the counter slowly clenched, veins appearing on the back of his hand.
-
In the bathroom, steam mingled, filling the small space.
Meimei finished her shower quickly, and after her body relaxed a bit, she dressed herself; she did not go out but stood in front of the mirror, staring blankly at her own face.
Her pale fingers slowly touched her lips, which were somewhat red, somewhat swollen...
It turned out it wasn’t a dream, Tingye really did kiss her just now, that dominant aura made her momentarily think she mistook someone else for him.
She even forgot to push him away, just letting him take her... first kiss.
Thinking about how he was just standing outside made her afraid to go out, unsure of how to face him, or how to face this seemingly different relationship.
"Meimei, stop overthinking, Tingye said he drank too much, he certainly didn’t mean it..."
Yes, that’s it.
She took a deep breath to calm herself, opened the door, and walked out.
The living room was filled with the strong scent of ginger tea, Meimei walked forward in confusion, seeing a steaming bowl of ginger tea on the table, she glanced around, but there was no one in the living room.
Did Tingye leave?
This realization didn’t make her feel happy at all, instead, she felt a bit lost.
Was her reaction just now harmful to Tingye? She didn’t mean it...
"Why are you standing there in a daze, haven’t you started drinking the ginger tea and getting some sleep? I’ve called the planning department for you, you don’t need to go to work tomorrow." Dan Tingye said as he walked in from the balcony with his phone, seeing her staring blankly at the ginger tea, he frowned.
"Tingye, you didn’t leave?" Meimei’s big crystal-clear eyes stared at his handsome figure, stunned.
Then she realized she had misspoken and hurriedly explained, "I mean, I didn’t see you when I came out, I thought you’d already left, so..."
She really wasn’t trying to make him leave!
"So you just stared at the ginger tea, thinking I could hide in it?" Dan Tingye put his phone in his pocket, stepped forward, pressed her small head with his large hand, and gazed down at her bewildered face, his breath enchanting.
"Meimei, what’s going on in your head?"
"..."
So he’s not angry and is even teasing her?
Meimei looked at the smile on his lips, completely dumbfounded.
Staring blankly as he picked up the ginger tea, handed it to her, watched her drink it, then held her hand and led her into the room, pressing her onto the bed, tucking her in.
He left a kiss on her forehead, slowly lifting his head, "Sleep now, don’t think about anything, everything will be fine when you wake up."
His low magnetic voice was like the best lullaby, she listened and listened until her eyelids became too heavy to stay open and she fell asleep.
Watching her serene sleeping face, Dan Tingye’s gaze was complicated, sitting quietly without getting up to leave.
