Chapter 529 Premeditated (2)

Since she needed to apologize, she had to show some sincerity.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the carving knife on the table. She hesitated for a moment before bringing the knife with her.
Just in case he went too far. With a carving knife, she would feel at ease.
Qiao Xiyan was in his room watching Central TV’s legal channel. A carving knife flew around his fingertips. From the corner of his eye, he saw the time on the top right corner of the TV. He was about to send another message when there was a knock on his door. “Senior Brother?”
Qiao Xiyan chuckled.
She struggled until the last moment. If he had known earlier, he would have set the time earlier.
When he opened the door, Tang Jingci smiled brightly at him. “Senior Brother…”
Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows as one word popped into his mind.
Flattery!
He moved back and let her in. This was the first time Tang Jingci had been to Qiao Xiyan’s room. His room had the same furnishings, but it looked much lonelier. Everything was arranged neatly, even the carving knives on the table. It was very different from the messy appearance of her father’s studio. “This is for you.” Tang Jingci placed the tremella and red date soup on the table.
“You made it?” Qiao Xiyan sat at the table. “Yes, I just made it. It’s still hot. Try it.” Tang Jingci rubbed her fingers. The skin on her hands was thin, and they had already been scalded red by the soup bowl. She stood at the side uneasily.
She was just like a student waiting for a teacher to criticize her.
Qiao Xiyan sat down and tried it. It was a little hot on his tongue, but it tasted pretty good. “How is it? It stewed for a long time.” Tang Jingci was overjoyed.
There was a saying: Gifts blind the eyes.
Qiao Xiyan ate her food, so he shouldn’t be too harsh on her.
“Okay.” Qiao Xiyan held the spoon and took a few more bites before turning to look at her. “Give me a reasonable explanation for that matter.”
“That matter…” Tang Jingci wanted to cry. What should come would always come.
“You’re still not admitting it? You should remember…”
“I was drunk at the time.” Tang Jingci didn’t know what to say. Could she just tell him that she was drunk and that her mind was full of him?
She realized that she had started paying attention to Qiao Xiyan after being frightened by the dog when she had gone to Fu Chen’s house.
In the following days, she kept recalling the scene of falling into his arms.
Every time she thought about it, her heart pounded. Even every detail that she didn’t have time to think about at the time started to circle around in her mind, unable to be forgotten.
She had drunk too much that day, and somehow… “You still want to deny it?” Qiao Xiyan picked up his phone at the side and played the surveillance footage.
Tang Jingci’s pupils trembled. From the surveillance footage in the elevator, she could clearly see her pressing forward step by step, forcing Qiao Xiyan to a corner. She even reached out and grabbed his collar. She was so bold and presumptuous…
“…” She subconsciously wanted to snatch the phone, but Qiao Xiyan refused to give it to her. He got up and dodged.
Tang Jingci blushed all the way to her neck. Her memory was indeed not clear enough. Now that she saw the surveillance footage, she was embarrassed and anxious as she tiptoed to snatch the phone.
“You want to snatch it without explaining?” Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows and raised his arm, taking advantage of his height.
The scene was still playing. Tang Jingci was a little angry from embarrassment and grabbed his clothes. Her grip was so strong that it almost tore his clothes. Qiao Xiyan had long known that she was very strong. He had wanted to tease her when he saw her coming over in exasperation to fight for it, but he didn’t expect her to be so anxious.
He couldn’t possibly sacrifice a piece of his clothes for a video. He simply put down his hand and prepared to hand her his phone.
Tang Jingci didn’t know what he was thinking and jumped up to snatch it. She was caught off guard and knocked Qiao Xiyan against the wall again.
He groaned as Tang Jingci fell into his arms again. He could clearly feel the soft pressure on his chest. His body was stiff, and even Tang Jingci was a little dumbfounded.
Their posture was ambiguous. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was stifling.
“I’ll give it to you. There’s no need to fight over it.” Qiao Xiyan’s voice was a little hoarse and low. His chest was beating slightly, and his steady heartbeat pressed against hers… Her heart was in turmoil.
Just as she reached out to snatch the phone and was about to leave, Qiao Xiyan grabbed her wrist. Their bodies almost bumped into each other again.
“What’s the explanation?”
He looked down at her. His breath was warm and had the sweet smell of red dates.
“I…” Tang Jingci twisted her wrist but couldn’t break free. “I was drunk at the time. I didn’t do it on purpose…”
