Fu Shi entered the apartment.
He quickly fished his phone from his trouser pocket and answered the call. It was Qin Deng on the line, urgently reporting that the product’s program had been fully modified and was ready for his inspection. Upon hearing this, Fu Shi didn’t even have time to change his clothes. In a hoarse voice, he said, “Come pick me up in ten minutes.”
“We’ll test the product at the back hill.”
Qin Deng had already arrived. He didn’t need his boss to tell him in advance—he’d come ahead of time. See how clever and efficient he was? Hehe.
“Boss, I’m already downstairs at your apartment.”
Fu Shi glanced at his wristwatch, suppressing the faint stirrings of desire from the earlier physical friction with her. His voice remained raspy as he continued, “Good, I’ll be right down.”
After he spoke, Qin Deng noticed something off about Fu Shi’s voice and thought he might be unwell. He quickly asked with concern, “Boss, what’s wrong with your voice? Why is it a bit hoarse?”
“Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Should I get you some medicine?” There had been a flu outbreak in Su City recently.
He hoped his boss hadn’t caught the virus.
Fu Shi furrowed his brows, realizing the awkwardness, and tried to sound composed as he said, “I’m fine.”
With that, the man quickly hung up the phone. He glanced down at his tight-fitting casual pants and couldn’t help but let out a helpless sigh, licking the tip of his teeth. His eyes darkened slightly as he uncontrollably recalled the fiery scene from earlier.
Her figure was indeed soft and fiery.
Her personality was both delicate and alluring.
When she had pressed against him, he could clearly feel her soft, sweet fragrance.
If it weren’t for his self-control earlier,
he might have just grabbed her tightly and…
Fu Shi tilted his chin up slightly, letting out an uncontrollably rough sigh. His chest tingled intensely.
He was a man.
How could he resist the teasing of the girl he had liked in high school?
But after all these years without contact, she suddenly… sought him out.
Fu Shi couldn’t just surrender like a reckless young man.
Lowering his dark gaze, he headed to the bedroom first to change into a fresh pair of pants.
After changing into new casual pants, he was about to leave when, as if bewitched, he picked up the bottle of beer Nan Yin had handed him earlier.
The hallway outside was quiet, and the slender, alluring figure was nowhere to be seen.
Fu Shi scanned the area but didn’t find her waiting around.
Rubbing his brow bone heavily, he took the beer and walked forward. As he reached the elevator and pressed the button, Nan Yin suddenly appeared.
This time, however, she wasn’t trying to cling to him.
She also had something to attend to at the studio. How should she put it? She wanted to tease him, tempt him, but she also wanted to win him over with her talent and skills. So, after returning to her room earlier, she had suddenly been struck with a major design inspiration.
The draft she had designed before wasn’t perfect enough.
She needed to revise it immediately.
Seeing the man also waiting for the elevator, Nan Yin was a bit surprised. “Are you heading out?”
Fu Shi thought she wanted to follow him like a shadow and immediately lowered his voice. “Don’t tell me you’re planning to tag along again?”
Nan Yin: “No, I have things to do.”
“What about you?”
Fu Shi, having misunderstood, relaxed his brow slightly. “I have things to do too.”
“Oh, don’t worry, I won’t tease you.” Nan Yin obediently pressed the floor button. “Go ahead and do your work.”
Fu Shi glanced at her. She was still wearing that little camisole, but the only difference was that she had put on a thin sun-protective jacket over it and was wearing a bra underneath.
Below, she had changed into a pair of linen-colored long skirt.
She looked fresh and conservative.
Fu Shi calmly withdrew his gaze. If she really wore that out, he might… Wait, what was he thinking?
The man realized his somewhat improper thoughts and immediately furrowed his brows, turning his face away from her.
Soon, the elevator arrived.
The two entered the elevator one after the other. Just as she had said, she wouldn’t bother him while he was busy, obediently leaning quietly to the side and watching him.
However, the heat in her gaze fell on his face in waves, causing Fu Shi’s throat to tighten.
He clenched his phone again.
But he forgot he was holding the beer can she had given him. As he tightened his grip, the can made a soft crunching sound. Nan Yin saw this, paused for a moment, and then her red lips curved into a faint smile.
Hmph, this dog of a man. He said no chasing, no bothering, no playing around.
Yet he’s holding onto her beer and won’t let go?
This small detail gave Nan Yin hope. Did Fu Shi think she was just playing around, so he ignored her? It didn’t matter—she would make him realize she was serious.
Ding, the elevator doors opened.
Fu Shi stepped out first, with Nan Yin following behind him. They entered the parking lot one after the other. Nan Yin got into her Land Rover, while Fu Shi went to find Qin Deng’s Mercedes.
After locating the Mercedes and getting in, Qin Deng glanced at Nan Yin driving her Land Rover ahead and then cautiously stole a look at the man sitting in the back seat.
Damn, did they come down together?
Wait, what was he thinking?
They lived on the same floor, after all.
Wasn’t it normal for them to come down together?
Qin Deng quickly shook off his wild thoughts and focused on driving his boss, Fu Shi, to the back mountain to test the drone.
The back mountain was a bit far from the main city area, requiring a half-hour drive.
Upon reaching their destination,
Qin Deng carefully retrieved the newly developed search-and-rescue drone from the trunk. On the vast open ground at the foot of the mountain ahead, two people were waiting.
They were the developers from his company, each holding the leash of a tall and imposing hunting dog.
Soon, they would release the two dogs to run freely through the forest on the back mountain.
Then, they would operate the search-and-rescue drone, using its far-infrared body temperature sensors to locate the dogs. This way, once put into production, it could greatly improve the efficiency of forest patrols, search-and-rescue operations, and police assistance.
“Boss Fu, we’ve fixed the minor flaws from the previous product. There shouldn’t be any issues now,” Qin Deng said cautiously.
Fu Shi walked while holding the beer and said, “I demand zero problems.”
“If there’s even the slightest mistake, our company’s reputation will be ruined.”
Qin Deng understood. “The developers said they’ve completely fixed it, which is why we invited you to oversee the final inspection.”
Fu Shi nodded. “Good, let’s proceed with the test flight.”
Qin Deng understood. Holding the heavy drone carefully, he jogged toward the two developers ahead, gave them a few instructions, and began testing the modified drone.
Fu Shi stood in the middle of the open ground, watching the drone during the test flight.
Time passed minute by minute. After nearly an hour of testing, the drone successfully located the two hunting dogs running on the back mountain using the infrared temperature sensor.
After finding the dogs, Fu Shi glanced at the various data displayed on the detector.
He carefully reviewed everything before finally feeling reassured.
“That’s it. Wrap it up.”
As soon as the man finished speaking, Qin Deng and the two developers breathed sighs of relief. They had finally passed the test successfully.
“Boss Fu, I’ll drive you back,” Qin Deng said eagerly, rushing over to start the car.
Fu Shi turned his face to glance at him, then strode on his long legs toward the Mercedes. As he walked, he unconsciously opened the beer can.
He popped the tab.
Took a sip.
Qin Deng, watching from the side, was a bit surprised. “Boss Fu, have you changed beer brands?”
He remembered his boss was quite particular—when it came to beer, he only drank imported pure brews.
Wasn’t this just some generic convenience store beer?
Why was he drinking it?
Fu Shi shot him a sidelong glance. “What’s with the chatter? I’ll drink whatever I want.”
“Too much nonsense.”
After being scolded, Qin Deng stood frozen in place. He was completely innocent, wasn’t he? He was just concerned.
Before, when he’d bought the wrong imported beer for him, Fu Shi wouldn’t touch it and just tossed it aside at the office.
So now… he’d changed his taste?
Alright, alright. Next time, he’d prepare this kind for him too.
On the way back to the apartment.
Fu Shi leaned back in the car, closing his eyes to rest. But the moment he did, his mind flashed with the image of Nan Yin’s alluring body pressed tightly against him. Like a water snake, she cupped his face with both hands, her sweet lips damp with the scent of alcohol as she began kissing his face.
Kissing his throat.
Her lips were so soft, like cotton candy.
Teasing along the man’s seductive Adam’s apple, she opened her mouth and bit down lightly. A sudden shiver shot through him, and the man who had been resting with his eyes closed abruptly opened his dark pupils.
Frowning, he looked ahead—there was nothing there. Instead, his own palm had suddenly grown damp with sweat.
Hah, had he gone mad?
After abstaining for so long, he’d never once thought about a woman like this before. And now, after just a few days of being entangled with her, he was already letting his imagination run wild.
Truly insane.
