"Huh?" Cen Jin was initially unresponsive, staring blankly at him.
"The cap." Jiang Baizhou squinted, glanced at her, and then gestured towards the bottle cap of the mineral water she was holding.
Cen Jin was speechless, looking at him with a face full of disbelief, she couldn’t help but tease, "Are your hands broken?" Though she said that, she still helped him unscrew the cap and handed it to him, casting him a sidelong glance, "Here you go."
Jiang Baizhou raised his eyebrow with pleasure, took the bottle, drank two sips, and handed it back to her, then closed his eyes to rest.
The car drove smoothly, perhaps due to the alcohol, Jiang Baizhou’s head grew more drowsy, gradually leading him to feel sleepy. In a daze, the car gently shook as it passed over a speed bump, and his body subconsciously tilted towards Cen Jin. Although his eyes were closed, he was slightly conscious, and not completely asleep. Jiang Baizhou didn’t sit back up, instead letting his body lean onto Cen Jin, his head settled steadily on her delicate shoulder, with a refreshing scent of her hair surrounding his nose.
Feeling the sudden weight on her shoulder, Cen Jin’s back immediately straightened. Turning her head, she came face to face with his fluffy, soft black hair and the faint scent he always carried. Her pink lips suddenly felt a bit dry, and after moving them several times, she finally found her voice, "Jiang Baizhou? Are you asleep?"
The silence in the car made it seem like you could hear her heartbeat at this moment, one beat after another, but she waited for nearly a minute and still didn’t hear any sound from Jiang Baizhou, only his steady breathing.
"Jiang Baizhou?" Cen Jin tried raising her voice to call out again.
Still getting no response, Cen Jin finally confirmed that he was indeed asleep. Perhaps thinking his head was too heavy, she tried to adjust her sitting position, but didn’t dare move too much, as if afraid of waking him. Jiang Baizhou cooperated well, just lying on her shoulder without moving a muscle, though it was a bit of a squeeze for his six-foot-one tall frame to lean on her slim one, which was just five-foot-five.
But seeing her cautiously moving and her unsure tone, his usually cold, indifferent handsome face lifted into a rarely seen gentle smile.
His smile seemed to only appear so generously when facing her.
When the car reached their villa’s entrance, the designated driver greeted them, got out of the car, took his e-bike from the trunk, and left. Only then did Cen Jin take a deep breath and slightly tip her head, "Jiang Baizhou, we’re home."
"Mmm." Jiang Baizhou responded to her this time, though still in a vague manner, his tightly shut eyes remaining closed, and even the head resting on her shoulder hadn’t moved an inch.
"Stop just ’mmm’-ing and not moving! Get up, time to get out of the car." Seeing that he just acknowledged without moving, Cen Jin got a bit temperamental; her back was about to stiffen and she was really unable to hold on.
Hearing her tone filled with warm anger, Jiang Baizhou finally reined in his rising smile, slowly straightened from her shoulder. His long limbs didn’t stretch well in the car, just a little movement made him feel his long legs tingling, and his head felt a lot clearer.
"You go out first." Jiang Baizhou slightly moved his legs, then turned to her and said.
"Is your head still dizzy?"
