C58 A Unique Warmth

Zhu Ruiyan didn't understand, but she obediently handed the phone to Qin Yizhao. After Qin Yizhao took the phone, he looked at the text message and quickly pressed a few buttons on the phone. Qin Yizhao proudly returned the phone to Zhu Ruiyan. "Now we can go and cook."

Zhu Ruiyan frowned and took the phone. She totally did not understand what Qin Yizhao did to her phone. It was only after a long time that she found out that Qin Yizhao had blacklisted Zhang Shuai's phone. This way, she would not be able to call him again. However, these were the words that came later.

Zhu Ruiyan placed the phone by the bed, turned around, and went to the kitchen to cook. At this time, she heard the sound of Qin Yizhao answering the phone from outside again. In a short while, his tone became unusually angry. Zhu Ruiyan lowered her head and continued to pick the vegetables. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.

After hanging up the phone, she called again. After Qin Yizhao answered the phone, he quickly hung up. Then he said to Zhu Ruiyan in the kitchen, "There is a fire at the school. I need to rush over. You cook first. I will be back later. "

Zhu Ruiyan's heart suddenly tightened. A fire had happened at the school? But before she could ask anything, Qin Yizhao impatiently put on his jacket and went out.

Zhu Ruiyan looked at the door being heavily closed and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart. He was the head of a county, but he also had unspeakable difficulties. If her work was not smooth, she had to rush to any of the sudden events regardless of the time and place.

However, Zhu Ruiyan was more praying silently in her heart that no one would die. It was good that everyone was safe. After Zhu Ruiyan finished all the preparations, she sat on the sofa. She wanted to wait for Qin Yizhao to come back before cooking. She could eat a mouthful of hot rice.

Zhu Ruiyan sat on the sofa and read again. It was very soon nine o'clock. Zhu Ruiyan was a little anxious. Zhu Ruiyan suddenly thought of turning on the television to watch the Qing County news, but after watching for a while, she remembered that a small town like Qing County could not live broadcast.

Zhu Ruiyan sat on the sofa all night, waiting for Qin Yizhao to come back. As time passed, her heart became more and more worried, which made Zhu Ruiyan feel a little funny. She looked like a wife anxiously waiting for her husband to return home.

But the funny thing was that they only had a business relationship. She was just Qin Yizhao's mistress. Whenever Zhu Ruiyan heard footsteps at the staircase, she would think that Qin Yizhao had returned. But what followed was undoubtedly disappointment. Almost all the doors in the surroundings had been opened and closed once more. Only Qin Yizhao's house had never been opened. Zhu Ruiyan just sat there and waited until one o'clock in the morning.

The sound of footsteps came from the staircase again. Zhu Ruiyan suddenly stood up. It should be Qin Yizhao this time. Not long after, she heard the sound of the key inserted into the lock. Qin Yizhao dragged his exhausted body back. When he saw Zhu Ruiyan, he was a little surprised.

Although he had seen the lights when he went upstairs, Qin Yizhao only thought that it was Zhu Ruiyan who left the lights for him. He did not expect that she was still in the living room. Qin Yizhao was a little puzzled and said, "You haven't rested yet?"

"I don't want to sleep yet." Zhu Ruiyan noticed that Qin Yizhao's lips were dry, so she went to the kitchen to pour a cup of warm water.

Qin Yizhao was stunned. There was a trace of tenderness in his eyes. He took the cup in Zhu Ruiyan's hand and drank the water inside in one gulp. Qin Yizhao looked at Zhu Ruiyan. This woman was quite considerate. He knew he was thirsty. This family seemed to be a little different. It was not to the extent that every time they came back, there would only be one person who was lonely.

Zhu Ruiyan took the cup back to her hand and softly asked, "Are you still thirsty?"

Qin Yizhao shook his head. "No more drinking. I will go and take a shower first." Qin Yizhao turned around and walked to the bathroom. He said, "Help me bring my pajamas over."

Zhu Ruiyan understood that Qin Yizhao was very tired, so she obediently went to the closet to find a set of pajamas. She put the pajamas that she had tidied up on the bed in the bedroom. She turned her head and found that the bathroom door was not closed. Under the glass, she could vaguely see a man's slender figure. Zhu Ruiyan's face suddenly turned red. She quickly walked to the kitchen to cook.

Not long later, Qin Yizhao finished bathing and came out of the bathroom with a towel. That strong pectoral muscles and wheat colored skin made people unconsciously swallow their saliva. Qin Yizhao turned his head and looked at the kitchen. He frowned and said, "Yanyan, where are my pajamas?"

Zhu Ruiyan heard Qin Yizhao's words and turned to leave the kitchen. She looked at Qin Yizhao and immediately lowered her head. "I put my pajamas on the bed in your bedroom."

"Got it." Qin Yizhao's lips curved into a playful smile. Seeing Zhu Ruiyan's embarrassed look, his mood inexplicably became better, but because he was too tired, he could not raise his spirits to tease her.

When Qin Yizhao finished changing his pajamas and came out of the bedroom, the food was already on the table.

Qin Yizhao said with some doubt, "You did not eat at night?" Zhu Ruiyan nodded lightly.

"Why not?"

"I thought you wouldn't be able to go for long and wanted to wait for you to eat together." Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao apologetically. Qin Yizhao used a bit of strength to hold her tightly in his arms. His big hand brushed Zhu Ruiyan's hair and said lovingly, "Next time you have to eat on time. You don't have to wait for me."

"Got it." Zhu Ruiyan's body stiffened and then said worriedly, "Did anything happen at the school?"

Qin Yizhao's voice carried a trace of pity. "A second-year female student died in the sea of fire. She was only seventeen years old."

Zhu Ruiyan's heart suddenly felt a little painful. A girl at such a young age died just like that. Her parents must have been heartbroken. Qin Yizhao and ___ were both so heartbroken when they heard the news. The parents of the child should be even more upset at this moment.

Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao with pity and sadness in her eyes. She knew that there was still something soft in Qin Yizhao's heart. He was a kind person. Zhu Ruiyan felt Qin Yizhao's unhappiness and she felt a little uncomfortable, "Zhao."

Qin Yizhao hugged Zhu Ruiyan tightly and leaned his head powerlessly on Zhu Ruiyan's shoulder. "It was my dereliction of duty."

Zhu Ruiyan's heart was somewhat sour. "This was an accident, not your dereliction of duty. No one wants it."

"It was I who did not notice the safety aspect. If I had reminded everyone from the beginning, today's tragedy would not have happened." Qin Yizhao's tone was full of self-blame and chagrin.2

"This is an accident, not your responsibility." Zhu Ruiyan secretly thought that the county head would also blame himself.

Qin Yizhao tightly hugged Zhu Ruiyan and did not let go. It was as if he obtained some positive energy from her body. After a long time, he let go of Zhu Ruiyan and lightly said, "Okay, let's eat."

Zhu Ruiyan nodded and the two of them sat at the dining table. Qin Yizhao did not seem to have any appetite. He only ate a few mouthfuls and then put down his chopsticks. Zhu Ruiyan knew that Qin Yizhao's heart was uncomfortable, so she said with some heartache, "Drink some soup. It should be very busy tomorrow. You need to replenish your energy."

Qin Yizhao raised his head and looked at Zhu Ruiyan with a profound gaze. Zhu Ruiyan's heartbeat suddenly became very fast. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "The body is the capital of revolution. If your body collapses, there will be no way to solve other problems."

Qin Yizhao did not say anything. The corner of his mouth unconsciously raised into a smile. He tried his best to see clearly what kind of thoughts this woman in front of him had under her thin body and ordinary appearance. Why did she always give him a sense of peace and warmth every time she spoke or acted?

In fact, for someone with a background like Qin Yizhao, his career was not smooth, because he was still too young. When he fought with those old foxes in the government, it was inevitable that he would feel tired.

Then Zhu Ruiyan gave him true warmth. This kind of warmth was something he relied on but could not give up. When they first met, Qin Yizhao mistakenly thought that Zhu Ruiyan was a casual woman. He did not think that ever since that time, their lives would intersect again and again.

Facing his overbearing attitude, she did not have any strength to fight back. When he said that they did not owe each other anything, he knew that Zhu Ruiyan had nowhere to run.

Sometimes, he could not even say any reason. He just wanted to get this woman. No reason was because he could not wait to get her!

Zhu Ruiyan was slightly stunned. She looked at Qin Yizhao's eyes, which had never appeared before, and felt very surprised. Qin Yizhao did not say anything but directly drank the bowl of soup that Zhu Ruiyan had prepared.

When Zhu Ruiyan heard this news, she actually felt very sad in her heart. She didn't have any appetite at all. But she still persisted to finish the rice in the bowl. Actually, she did not notice that she, who seemed to exist in the air, was actually very eye-catching.

After eating, Zhu Ruiyan packed up the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Let's do it tomorrow."

"It's fine. I will finish it very soon. You go to the bedroom to rest first." Zhu Ruiyan insisted on holding the chopsticks and walked into the kitchen.

Qin Yizhao went to the bedroom after washing up, but Zhu Ruiyan did not come in after waiting for a long time. It turned out that Zhu Ruiyan went to wash up after washing the dishes and saw Qin Yizhao changing his clothes. There was a strong smell of smoke on the clothes, so Zhu Ruiyan picked up Qin Yizhao's clothes and started to wash them with her hands.

Qin Yizhao was a little anxious. He walked out of the bedroom and saw Zhu Ruiyan washing the clothes. He said unhappily, "Why are you washing your clothes in the middle of the night? Quickly go and rest."

"You go to sleep first. I will get it done in a while."

"I told you to wash tomorrow. I have so many clothes to wear." After saying that, Qin Yizhao opened the water pipe and washed off the foam on Zhu Ruiyan's hands. He carried her back to the bedroom.

"Zhao."

"It's already two o'clock."

Zhu Ruiyan knew it was already very late, so she shut her mouth and did not say anything more.

Qin Yizhao gently put Zhu Ruiyan on the bed. He noticed that Zhu Ruiyan had changed the bed sheets and blanket and was very satisfied. He covered the two of them with the blanket, one hand holding Zhu Ruiyan, and then turned off the light in the bedroom.

The bedroom was so dark that one could not see their fingers in front of their eyes. Zhu Ruiyan opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. For a moment, she had an illusion. People who did not know would definitely think that they were a loving couple, but who would have thought that they were just trading? They were just two people in the same bed.

Qin Yizhao was the mayor of Qing County, a man who could call the wind and summon the rain. Being able to be his mistress was something many women dreamt of, but he felt worse than going to hell. Perhaps it was because she was too stubborn, but since it was just a deal, she was destined to be a moth drawn to the flame.
