Recently, her hair has grown a bit longer, so Ruan Jiu Jiu used a small rubber band to tie a small bundle at the back of her head, looking more and more like a young and playful schoolgirl. As a result, the originally normal everyone looked at Ruan Jiu Jiu, and the big boss in their minds became a rich man with potentially peculiar hobbies.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was naturally very grateful to be brought to the party by Lao Meng. In this circle, she had no place to stand, and it was Lao Meng who brought her in step by step.

Ruan Jiu Jiu said seriously, “Thank you.”

“Hey, don’t be so polite.”

The ice sculpture souvenir was hung on the phone by Ruan Jiu Jiu, and the little figure was dangling in front of her, with a full sense of existence, which caused Ruan Jiu Jiu’s anger at Cheng Jun to disappear. She thought that Cheng Jun was a bit of a dog sometimes, but it wasn’t without merit, and his sincere surprise could impress her very much.

Cheng Jun was sitting on the sofa, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ruan Jiu Jiu smiling.

She seems to be in a good mood since she came back.

Ruan Jiu Jiu noticed his gaze, and waved the keychain on her phone: “I’ll take this as your gift for me, thank you~”

It seems she can be happy with such small things. Cheng Jun put his hands on the back of his head as if he was watching TV, but because of Ruan Jiu Jiu’s good mood, he also subtly became happier.

He said slowly, “So when are you going to give me a gift?”

The promised birthday gift was ruined by this guy.

After promising a reward for his performance, the cake was thrown at the site of the car accident and was lost.

Cheng Jun asked righteously, but Ruan Jiu Jiu said irritably: “I gave you a gift.” Although it was only a small token of appreciation, she liked the small stones she brought back, and she also had a stone bracelet on her wrist.

Cheng Jun: “?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

Cheng Jun: “??”

Facing his bewildered stare, Ruan Jiu Jiu sneered and said, “You don’t, by any chance, forget the little stones I gave you.” 

Cheng Jun looked like he was trying to remember, and after a while, he asked hesitantly, “Sheep dung balls?”

“Mention sheep dung balls again, or I will flip out. Thank you!”

Your friend Grumpy Ruan Jiu Jiu is now online.

She really can’t expect this dog man to show what it means to be romantic. Ruan Jiu Jiu glared angrily and began to interrogate Cheng Jun: “The sheep dung ball I gave you…Pooh! The little stone I gave you, you better not have thrown it away.”

Cheng Jun said seriously: “Do you need me to look for it?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…Why don’t you throw yourself away?”

But to blame Cheng Jun just because of a small stone was quite unnecessary. If he loses it, he loses it, and Cheng Jun doesn’t like wearing jewelry, so it’s a matter of course that he doesn’t take it to heart. It’s just that she felt a little lost in her heart, and her feelings were casually discarded as if they were not even cared for.

But thinking about it, Cheng Jun didn’t like her at that time, so, wouldn’t it be normal to throw it aside?

Ruan Jiu Jiu placated herself and was finally comforted.

“Okay.” Ruan Jiu Jiu stuffed her phone into her pocket, “I’ll go take a shower first.” 

The muffled thunder outside was gradually growing, a gust of cold wind swept past, and it was estimated that there would be another light rain in the middle of the night. Recently, due to the weather, Ruan Jiu Jiu’s wardrobe was a little humid, and when it would be sunny in a few days, she would dry her clothes out to dissipate the smell.

Hot water splashed on the tiles, and the thick steam of the hot water was vaporizing, making people feel hot all over.

Ruan Jiu Jiu unbuttoned her clothes and stood under the shower to take a bath. Her soft and fair body was tinted with a layer of pink, her legs were straight and slender, and her body proportions were excellent, a picture of a beauty bathing but only the mirror can appreciate it.

She lathered her hair and rubbed it. The fragrance of cherry blossoms was light and not very strong, and it smelled very comfortable. Ruan Jiu Jiu was filled with thoughts about the small party she would be attending the day after tomorrow, like how she should dress herself better.

Wearing a long skirt? …would it be too deliberate?

It doesn’t seem to be formal to wear jeans.

It seems that she still has to ask Lao Meng how to dress for such a party. With this in mind, Ruan Jiu Jiu raised her head and let the warm water fall on her face. The foam on her hair, like a silky cream mousse, slowly slid from the temples and dripped onto the fair and lustrous skin.

“Click.”

There was a faint sound, like the sound of cutting off the electric current, and the warm light in the bathroom was instantly cut off, falling into a dead darkness.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was startled and hurriedly turned off the shower.

There was still foam on her face, so she quickly picked up a towel to wipe it, and asked Cheng Jun loudly, “Is the power out? What’s going on?”

Across the door, Cheng Jun said, “Don’t be afraid, there’s a power outage in the whole neighborhood.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

The power didn’t stop in the morning and at night but went out when she was in the middle of taking a shower. The bathroom was pitch-dark, and because it suddenly turned from light to darkness, Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t see anything as if she was blind.

Ruan Jiu Jiu took a step forward cautiously and was not able to locate the place where the clothes were.

At this moment, through the frosted glass of the bathroom door, a bright light suddenly illuminated half of the bathroom, so Ruan Jiu Jiu was able to see clearly.

Across the door, Cheng Jun’s muffled and warm questioning voice came: “Can you see clearly?”

“I can see clearly!”

With the help of Cheng Jun’s light, Ruan Jiu Jiu hurriedly washed the foam off her hair with water, then wiped off the water droplets on her body and changed her clothes. When she walked out the door, the room was dark, and Cheng Jun was leaning against the wall, one hand in his pocket[1], and his other hand was using the mobile phone to illuminate the room for Ruan Jiu Jiu.

Ruan Jiu Jiu asked bitterly, “When will the electricity come back?”

Cheng Jun said, “The electricity is being repaired, and it will probably take a few hours.” 

The neighborhood was a little bit old, and it was quite normal that the equipment would occasionally not work properly. No one would probably have imagined that Jiacheng’s boss and wife lived in a dilapidated little house that didn’t quite fit in with them.

“Power outage means power outage. But it’s too early, I can’t sleep ah.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu paused for a while and then said, “How about we…”

Cheng Jun, who was leaning against the wall, stood up straight and his eyes lit up.

“How about we, watch a ghost movie! I have it on my laptop.”

Cheng Jun: “…”

The author has something to say: Ruan Jiu Jiu: I don’t know why, but I feel like Cheng Jun was not that excited.
