Chapter 48: 48 This restroom is really an accident-prone place
48 This restroom is really an accident-prone place.
Tushan Jiu had only seen golf on TV dramas before, she found it interesting, but after actually trying it herself she realized she was completely unsuited.
If you ask why she's unsuitable, it's naturally because her strength is simply too great.
On her first swing, she knocked over a large patch of turf.
On her second swing, she directly bent the metal club.
On her third swing, the ball flew out of sight as soon as she hit it; she guessed it must have already flown somewhere beyond the golf course by now.
Fourth swing, fifth swing......
Even by her tenth swing, Tushan Jiu still hadn't sunk a single ball.
Tushan Jiu stood there watching the golf ball fly away, her lips pressed flat.
She thought it over and decided to forget it; she probably really lacked any talent for golf.
Just as she was about to turn around to put down the club, her hand was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.
Tushan Jiu wanted to turn her head to look, but a heat source had already stood behind her, very close; though it didn't touch her body, it was in an embracing posture, and the scent of cedar instantly slipped into her nostrils.
Xie Shiyu slightly bent over, adjusted her stance, and softly said in her ear: 'Don't rush, you just haven't mastered the technique yet.'
He helped her adjust the angle: 'Pay attention to the club's angle, lift your head when preparing to strike, and as for force, just control it to the strength you used when you last hit Bai Yu; try again.'
Xie Shiyu didn't release her, but instead lightly guided her to raise the club and strike the ball, tempering her force.
'Bang', the white ball flew out again.
'Whoosh', one swing and it went in the hole.
Tushan Jiu's eyes lit up, she exclaimed delightedly: 'It's in, Xie Shiyu, I made the shot!'
She abruptly turned around, completely forgetting that Xie Shiyu behind her, who had been accommodating her, hadn't yet straightened his body.
She felt a soft, warm touch on her brow, and Tushan Jiu froze.
She was dumbfounded, dared not move, and could only clearly hear her own heartbeat.
Xie Shiyu, equally stunned, swallowed hard twice, then quickly straightened his body, his voice hoarse as he said: 'Sorry, I didn't mean to.'
Tushan Jiu hastily waved her hands, 'No, no, it's me, I turned my head too fast... uh, I'm thirsty, I'm going to get a drink.'
Having said that, without waiting for Xie Shiyu to speak, she walked toward the rest area.
Xie Shiyu watched her somewhat clumsy gait, subconsciously pressed his lips, and his ears turned slightly red.
A moment later, his Adam's apple rolled again, a pleased low laugh escaped his throat, and he strode toward the rest area as well.
Tushan Jiu almost jogged to the rest area; upon arriving, she immediately picked up her water and gulped down several big mouthfuls.
But even after drinking several big gulps, the burning heat on her face remained unrelieved.
She simply placed the water bottle on her face.
That was her first time having such intimate contact with a guy, leaving her face flushed and her heart still pounding nonstop.
She couldn't help but admit that she had some fondness for Xie Shiyu, even if it wasn't love.
After all, he's handsome and wealthy, gentle and meticulous.
Plus, as a voice-controlled person, she absolutely loves his voice.
In short, whatever the aspect, Xie Shiyu is a player who goes crazy on the dance floor of her preferences.
Moreover, he's her fiancé, having signed the engagement contract with her.
Now she not only feels her face hot, but also feels it painful.
She still remembered that back then she thought if he wasn't her type, even if she broke the short-life curse, she wouldn't be very happy in this lifetime.
But looking back now, are her shyness and palpitations solely toward him perhaps a sign that she likes him a bit?
If that is liking, then should she confess to him and start pursuing him?
Tushan Jiu also had no experience liking someone; after a few seconds of dazed silence, she felt she couldn't make such a hasty decision.
Meanwhile, Xie Shiyu, who was secretly observing her expression while drinking water, had no idea that his forthright future bride, who originally intended to pursue him, had chosen to hold back because of her clarity and composure.
He glanced at Tushan Jiu several times in his peripheral vision; seeing that aside from shyness she had no aversion at all, he finally felt completely at ease.
He didn't want their newly familiar relationship to be ruined by this little accident, causing her to start avoiding him.
However, this is also a good phenomenon.
At least it shows she doesn't resent physical contact with him, which counts as another step forward.
He capped the water bottle in his hand, set it down, walked over to Tushan Jiu, took the cool water bottle she still had on her face, and asked: 'Hungry? Want to play a bit more or go eat?'
Tushan Jiu was still dazed; Xie Shiyu's sudden move startled her, making her heartbeat quicken by another two beats.
She forced herself to stay calm, shook her head, and said: 'No more playing, I'm hungry, let's go eat.'
'Fine, go change clothes, then we'll go eat.'
After arriving, Tushan Jiu had changed into the sportswear Xie Shiyu had prepared for her, so she needed to change back into her original clothes.
Before changing clothes, Xie Shiyu gave a meaningful glance to Li Kai, who had the keen eye and had flashed away when they got close; he messaged him to come drive the car over.
At the French restaurant, Tushan Jiu had Xie Shiyu order, since he knew her tastes anyway; over all those times eating out, he had never once stepped on her 'landmine'.
Having left the ordering to Xie Shiyu, she went to the restroom.
After finishing her business, Tushan Jiu walked to the sink to wash her hands.
Standing alongside her was another woman.
This woman was probably in her forties, but her upkeep was excellent, making her look like she had just turned thirty.
She wore a white cheongsam embroidered with several red roses.
Tushan Jiu was very familiar with this outfit.
The woman noticed Tushan Jiu looking at her clothes, gave her a disdainful once-over, then pulled out a lipstick from her bag to touch up her makeup.
While applying it, she glanced sideways at Tushan Jiu in the mirror and said: 'How about it? Do you like this dress of mine?'
Tushan Jiu raised her head, met her arrogant gaze in the mirror, and didn't answer her.
The woman said to herself: "You should know this dress—it's hand-made custom by Nan Cheng's most famous haute couture embroidery workshop; this dress costs over 800,000, it's not something you college students can afford just by sucking up to rich businessmen."
Tushan Jiu: "......"
As the novel says, it never deceives her—this restroom really is an accident-prone place.
