Chapter 11 11. Women should be reserved

In the quiet and dim living room, only one desk lamp was on. Chen Li'an curled up on the narrow sofa and opened his eyes in a daze.

Chen Li'an raised his sore neck and looked at the woolen blanket covering his body, which was printed with red peonies, which was very contemporary.

Chen Li'an raised his long, numb legs, and tried to sit up on the ground, but the moment his feet hit the ground, the soreness felt like a prickly needle, and Chen Li'an immediately retracted his feet.

Well, Chen Li'an temporarily gave up his plan to sit up.

Chen Li'an lay sideways on the sofa, looking at the surrounding environment. When he came over in the evening, he didn't look carefully.

The living room is very small, with only room for a table and a small sofa. A small green lamp and a camera are placed on the table, and the warm yellow light shines on the silver camera.

Ma Xiaoqing's living environment is much better than Bai Qing's rental house, and she also has a bedroom and a darkroom.

The doors of the bedroom and the darkroom were tightly closed. Chen Li'an didn't know how long he had slept or what time it was. He didn't have the habit of wearing a watch.

Because looking at the watch always feels that time is passing, and life is wasted a little bit.

After the soreness and numbness on his legs subsided, Chen Li'an sat up again, and turned his head to look at the small kitchen with dark lights.

If I remember correctly, there should be a small refrigerator inside.

Chen Li'an, who just got up, was a little thirsty. He went to the kitchen and opened the small refrigerator, and he found a pleasant surprise.

There were several bottles of Yanjing Beer inside. Chen Li'an took out a bottle and was about to bite open with his teeth when he heard the sound of the door opening from the living room.

Ma Xiaoqing came out of the darkroom with an unusually excited flush on her face.

While Chen Li'an was asleep, she took a whole roll of film and specially named this group of works.

Sleeping Beauty!
Just now she had been developing photos in the darkroom, admiring Chen Li'an's melancholy and handsome face in the photos.

Moreover, in the darkroom there are many photos taken by the river in the afternoon, many of which are photos of Chen Li'an's abdominal muscles taking off his clothes before the water burial.

Ma Xiaoqing suddenly discovered a hobby that she hadn't noticed before, she liked muscles and masculinity!
In the past 20 years, Ma Xiaoqing has always used talent as the standard for judging men, but today she has fallen into Chen Li'an's sexy belly. No, no, it's a beautiful photo.

"Are you awake?" Ma Xiaoqing walked to the kitchen and looked at Chen Li'an without realizing how "hungry" her expression was now.

Ma Xiaoqing came out of the darkroom, Chen Li'an was sure that she was right, but what was the strange excitement on her face?

Chen Li'an didn't know what Ma Xiaoqing was doing in the darkroom, so he bit open the lid of the beer bottle, took a big gulp and said, "I just woke up, I'm a little thirsty, do you want a drink?"

Looking at the beer bottle in Chen Li'an's hand, Ma Xiaoqing nodded immediately: "Yeah."

Reaching out to take the beer he had drunk from Chen Li'an's hand, Ma Xiaoqing gulped down a big gulp, and the hotness in her heart was cooled down by the cold drink down her throat.

Chen Li'an looked at the beer bottle in Ma Xiaoqing's hand, his eyes resting on the round mouth of the bottle, then silently opened the refrigerator and opened another bottle.

Ma Xiaoqing didn't care about Chen Li'an's behavior of opening another bottle, pulled him out of the kitchen, pushed him on the sofa and said, "Wait here a moment, I'll get you a photo, this is the best photo I've taken in a long time s work!"

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows lightly, Ma Xiaoqing was much more courageous.

After Ma Xiaoqing finished speaking, she ran into the darkroom with a beer bottle in her arms, and came out with a stack of photos after a while.

"Look, I took this while you were asleep."

Ma Xiaoqing is like a child sharing a toy, the smile on her face shines brightly even in a dimly lit room.

Such a smile is easy to move people's hearts, and Chen Li'an was also infected. He took the photo and prepared to appreciate Ma Xiaoqing's masterpiece.

Under the faint yellow light, Chen Li'an saw clearly the picture on the photo, and his expression froze immediately.

In the photo, Chen Li'an was sleeping on his side on the sofa, with a relaxed expression like a baby, but someone lifted his clothes up, exposing his abdominal muscles.

Chen Li'an can assure you that this is definitely not an unconscious behavior of his when he was sleeping. He has no such habit, so it is Ma Xiaoqing who put the clothes on?

Ma Xiaoqing sat next to Chen Li'an, the narrow sofa just fit two people, but it was a little tight.

Chen Li'an could feel the excitement on Ma Xiaoqing's body through his clothes, and the question he had originally planned stopped on his lips and did not say it.

"How is it? Isn't it very good?" Ma Xiaoqing excitedly approached Chen Li'an and looked at the photo in his hand.

Chen Li'an flipped through the photos and said softly, "Very good, but next time, don't lift my clothes."

"Take a shot, and I didn't get used to it. Don't be so stingy. Your good figure should be used for appreciation." Ma Xiaoqing said nonchalantly, as if alcohol gave her a lot of courage.

Chen Li'an looked at Ma Xiaoqing's round head and wanted to give her an elbow. He wasn't out to sell it, so why should he show it to others!

Sin, sin, Chen Li'an quickly suppressed the desire to complain in his heart, this will affect his state, and he will be filming tomorrow.

After closing his eyes and adjusting his emotions, Chen Li'an put down the photo in his hand, took a sip of beer and asked, "What time is it?"

Ma Xiaoqing turned her head to look at the clock hanging on the wall behind her and said, "It's 12:30."

Chen Li'an followed her gaze, only to find a clock hanging on the wall above the sofa, the silver dial was very conspicuous at night.

"It's already so late, I should go home, see you tomorrow." Chen Li'an stood up and stretched his stiff body, wondering if he could still get a taxi so late.

There are very few taxis in the capital itself, so it should be impossible at this point in time.

Ma Xiaoqing also thought of this question, thought for a while and said: "There is no car at this late hour, why... why don't you just stay here tonight?"

After finishing speaking, Ma Xiaoqing didn't dare to look into Chen Li'an's eyes, as if she had lost her courage again, no, it should have grown bigger, and dared to keep Chen Li'an to stay overnight.

However, Chen Li'an didn't consider Ma Xiaoqing's proposal. It's really not suitable for lonely men and widows in the middle of the night.

"It's okay, it's not far from my house, and it will take you 10 minutes to walk back."

Chen Li'an's refusal made Ma Xiaoqing's courage to persuade her to stay disappeared instantly, but she was also slightly thankful in her heart, she was indeed a little courageous just now.

Under such circumstances, retaining a man to stay overnight is like an invitation no matter how you look at it, without any girl's reserve.

The light in the living room was very dim, and Chen Li'an didn't notice the embarrassment and joy that flashed across Ma Xiaoqing's face. Seeing that there was still a lot of beer in his hand, he touched Ma Xiaoqing's bottle and said, "I wish you a sweet dream." .”

Ma Xiaoqing raised her hand nonchalantly and drank a big gulp of beer before suppressing the strange emotion in her heart.

"I'm leaving, see you on the set tomorrow." Chen Li'an put the empty wine bottle next to the lamp on the table, and the green glass reflected a tranquil green light under the light.

Ma Xiaoqing looked at the green light all over the room, and suddenly wanted to take a picture of this scene. When she came back to her senses, she heard a crisp shutter sound.

"Help me develop it, I have a hunch this is a good photo." Chen Li'an put the camera in Ma Xiaoqing's hand.

Ma Xiaoqing looked into Chen Li'an's eyes, his eyes seemed deeper and more attractive in the darkness, like a black hole that would devour people's hearts, attracting everything into it.

Without waiting for Ma Xiaoqing's answer, Chen Li'an turned around and left without the slightest pause or nostalgia, as if yearning for the cold night outside.

After Chen Li'an left Ma Xiaoqing's house, he checked the direction on the side of the road, and then stretched his wrists and ankles.

Under the high street lights, Chen Li'an's figure was stretched very long, and in the afterglow of the street lights, Chen Li'an's jogging figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
