At that moment, Fu Xiaoya spoke up, "The rain outside is too heavy. The space inside the car is enough for us to switch seats. Don't get out of the car. Just move towards my side."
Although the sports car had a decent amount of space, it couldn't accommodate Qin Huaichen's tall figure without some physical contact during the seat exchange.
"Move back a bit," Fu Xiaoya instructed.
"Alright."
"Wait, you're pressing down on my hair."
Qin Huaichen panicked and clumsily leaned back, while Fu Xiaoya shifted to the side and accidentally touched a lever. With a slight further adjustment, they would be able to swap positions successfully. But then, an unexpected mishap occurred.
The lever Fu Xiaoya grabbed was none other than the seat recline button.
The seat reclined, causing Qin Huaichen and Fu Xiaoya to fall backward, their postures becoming extremely awkward.
Fu Xiaoya's hair became messy, falling loosely over her shoulders, creating a captivating disarray. Their deep breaths filled the car, adding a hint of uncertainty to the atmosphere.
Fu Xiaoya wanted to quickly get out of this awkward situation. Just as she tried to sit up, she bumped her head on the headliner, instantly pushing her back to her original position. Worried about her, Qin Huaichen instinctively reached out to support her, inadvertently touching her soft waist.
Once Fu Xiaoya settled back in her seat, Qin Huaichen quickly withdrew his hand.
Fu Xiaoya dared not make any big movements and could only shift slightly.
"Xiaoya, don't move around," Qin Huaichen's voice was deep as if he was restraining something.
"It's not that... I can't just stay still like this, it's just a little bit more..." Fu Xiaoya replied.
Qin Huaichen took a sharp inhale, realizing that if this continued, Fu Xiaoya might discover the peculiarity of his body. He decided to take action and pulled Fu Xiaoya onto his lap, simultaneously opening the passenger door and quickly stepping out to adjust their positions. Their bodies were in contact for no more than three seconds.
"You stay seated," Qin Huaichen said, leaving these three words before getting out of the car.
The rain outside was heavy and cold, perfectly suppressing the burning heat in his heart. After standing for a while, when Qin Huaichen reached the driver's seat, he had already calmed down, although his entire body was soaked.
Seeing Qin Huaichen in such a disheveled state, Fu Xiaoya suppressed a smile and handed him a tissue. "Wipe yourself off first." She was also flustered moments ago and her face still blushed, making Qin Huaichen's throat dry.
Qin Huaichen's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his voice came out hoarse as he thanked her. He felt hot but couldn't open the window, so he had to endure the heat.
Casually wiping off the rainwater from his body, Qin Huaichen said, "Let's head back."
Fu Xiaoya glanced at Qin Huaichen. His wet clothes clung tightly to his abdomen, revealing the shape of his abdominal muscles... She quickly averted her eyes, not daring to look any longer.
The car began its journey, but due to the heavy rain, Qin Huaichen drove slowly, not displaying the speed expected of a sports car.
After about an hour, they arrived at the rental place. The house Qin Huaichen mentioned was approximately seven stories high, a detached small building in a quiet area. The interior decoration had a warm and cozy style, similar to her home's decor, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
Fu Xiaoya instantly fell in love with the house at first sight.
"Will it be expensive here?"
This house is fully equipped with amenities, including a fitness area and an outdoor swimming pool. The security system is also top-notch. Although it doesn't boast the grandeur of a high-rise, it has a charming and cozy atmosphere.
"Not at all," Qin Huaichen reassured confidently. He skillfully parked the car in the garage and then took Fu Xiaoya to handle the rental procedures.
The receptionist was a man in his fifties, dressed in formal attire even at such a late hour.
"Mr. Qin, is this your friend who will be renting the house? We offer rentals starting from six months, and no deposit is required." The man looked at Qin Huaichen and recited the lines he had memorized for over an hour. He wasn't sure if the six-month lease duration was too short.
"We'll rent for a year," Qin Huaichen glanced at his watch; it was already one in the morning.
"I've transferred the money to you." Qin Huaichen directly scanned the QR code and paid an amount higher than the annual rent, considering it as a reward for the house manager.
"Is the top floor still available?" Qin Huaichen asked with a serious tone.
"It is, Mr. Qin. It's quite late now, and since my old bones can't keep up with you, could I trouble you to show this young lady the house? You're more familiar with the place," the house manager spoke tactfully.
