Chapter 22

Shen Ruo heard herself say that she liked it.

Chu Xiao asked him if he liked toffee and fireworks, but only he knew that he said he liked it, not these two.

After returning from outside, it was almost eleven o'clock, and Shen Ruo was lying on the bed after taking a bath.

His heartbeat returned to calm, but he couldn't forget the feeling at that moment.

When eating, Chu Xiao was still attentive and would take the initiative to open the stool for him. When he got into the car, Chu Xiao would open the car door for him, and put one hand on the car door to prevent him from hitting his head.

It's all small details, but these are the things that warm Shen Ruo's heart. Chu Xiao is a good person, and he likes and likes Chu Xiao.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruo's ears were red when he stayed in the room alone, he rolled over on the bed and buried his face in the soft pillow.

However, Chu Xiao was a nice and excellent person, such a gentleman, with good looks and family background, and he knew a lot of things.

Shen Ruo thought about himself, not to mention his family status, he didn't seem to have anything that he could get hold of.

It's not that he didn't work hard when he was in school, but the result of his hard work was still at the average level, he wouldn't be at the bottom, but he wasn't a top student, he belonged to the most common middle class.

In terms of talent, he doesn't know much. The dance he learned was taught to him by Chu Xiao.

Suddenly depressed, Shen Ruo still buried her face in the pillow, her whole body slumped.

The craftsmanship that can be said, that is, cooking, or barely able to do it, at least cook the rice, stir-fry the vegetables, and eat it in the stomach.

When he was in school, the second aunt cooked his meals with Shen Yi and Shen Hong, so Shen Ruo was actually not very good at it. He stopped studying last year, so he learned slowly, but usually the second aunt does a little more.

When the farming was busy, the second uncle and the second aunt went to the farm, and he was responsible for cooking for the whole family. The Shen Ping family had no objection to what Shen Ruo cooked.

After comparing himself with Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo felt that he and Chu Xiao were not even a star apart, and he was even more depressed.

So Shen Ruo rolled on the bed again, his freshly washed hair was fluffy and messy, he was white again, and he was lying on the soft bed, looking soft.

At the beginning of his love affair, he was at a stage where he had just discovered his feelings. Shen Ruo stayed in the room alone for a long time thinking wildly before falling asleep.

So when he woke up the next day, his eyes were obviously pale blue, and his face looked a little tired.

After Chu Xiao came down from the upstairs, he laughed when he saw him sitting on the sofa with a sleepy look.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. No one will tell you. I'll call you after breakfast."

Chu Xiao, who was wearing a training suit, walked in front of Shen Ruo, he couldn't hold back, bent over and rubbed Shen Ruo's hair.

"No, I can sleep at noon."

After Chu Xiao took his hand back, Shen Ruo shook his head and said, he stood up and planned to run a few laps outside with Chu Xiao, which started a few days ago.

Seeing that Shen Ruo woke up fine in the morning, Chu Xiao asked him if he wanted to run a few laps together so that he could exercise.

Seeing that the tall and thin Chu Xiao was so strong, Shen Ruo was really moved, so she jogged with him. Chu Xiao also took care of Shen Ruo and came at his speed.

The two walked away, and Shen Ruo suddenly came back to his senses. Just now, Chu Xiao touched his head, which was a more intimate gesture. At least with other friends of the opposite sex, Shen Ruo and they had never had such contact.

The drowsiness seemed to be swept away. Shen Ruo's eyes were slightly curved because of this discovery, and a sweetness filled his heart. He remembered the toffee he ate last night, it was so sweet.

The two started jogging around the entire mansion, and Chu Xiao followed Shen Ruo's pace. Such a speed was very easy for him.

The Duke's Mansion is a manor-style mansion, and Shen Ruo was exhausted after one lap, but he still insisted on running two laps.

Her forehead was wet with sweat, Shen Ruo was panting, her face was a little red, and her back was sweating, but after running two laps, her body felt very comfortable, and her previous drowsiness was also swept away.

It was not very hot in the summer morning, and the wind was blowing from time to time, which was very comfortable. The two of them were walking on the lawn behind the main building.

"There is a family banquet the night after tomorrow. Your dress is not ready yet, and the one you made is not very good. Yesterday I asked someone to change the dress I made before, and I will send it to you after breakfast. Try it and see if it fits."

Chu Xiao's breath was steady, he said to Shen Ruo with a smile.

Shen Ruo is puzzled, doesn't he already have a suit, why do he still need to do it?

Thinking like this, he also said: "There is a dress."

"Generally speaking, the dress is worn once, and it needs to be changed for other banquets."

Seeing Shen Ruo's puzzled expression, Chu Xiao frowned and couldn't help laughing.

"I made a lot of dresses before. I couldn't wear them all by myself, and some of them couldn't fit on. They would only fall ashes there, so I changed them for you, and you helped me wear them."

Hearing what Chu Xiao said, Shen Ruo looked up at him, and indeed, Chu Xiao has grown taller, it is normal for the clothes he made before to not fit well now, and Chu Xiao has already been changed by someone.

Shen Ruo suddenly felt a sense of burden, because Chu Xiao was so kind to him, he was always accepting the other party's kindness, but he didn't do anything.

I don't know if it is in the initial stage of the relationship. After thinking about this, Shen Ruo suddenly felt a little discouraged, and he didn't know what to do.

In fact, he had thought about whether to tell Chu Xiao last night.

Chu Xiao had said before that if one day he wanted to say something, Chu Xiao would also tell him.

But even with these words, Shen Ruo retreated when she saw Chu Xiao for the first time in the morning.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Xiao looked at Shen Ruo with her head down, her mood was low, and she looked sad. He was a little puzzled, why this happened suddenly.

"fine."

Shen Ruo looked up at Chu Xiao and shook her head.

Seeing Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly at him, as if he was waiting for him to speak, Shen Ruo had to speak: "I just think that after coming to Dixing, I don't understand a lot of things, and I rarely do things, so I can eat and wear. And other things, all too good."

His voice sounded muffled, and after glancing at Chu Xiao, he lowered his head in despair.

Chu Xiao was so good to him that sometimes he felt that he couldn't bear it, because he didn't know how to be nice to Chu Xiao, which made Shen Ruo feel very sad, Chu Xiao was too good.

These days, everything he got in the Chu family is too good for Shen Ruo. He does nothing, eats, drinks, lives and wears in the Chu family, and Chu Xiao also takes him out to play. The credit points he spends are never will let him out.

In fact, this made Shen Ruo feel that he was taking advantage of the Chu family, because what he did and what he got were completely unequal.

I didn't expect Shen Ruo to say this, Chu Xiao saw his dejected look, and knew that Shen Ruogang came from a small planet, and he was an introverted and timid subhuman. He didn't even dare to say anything, and he was good-natured. Doubt, Chu Xiao is actually not very surprised.

"I can support you."

With a smile in Chu Xiao Ci Yin, he reached out and rubbed Shen Ruo's hair.

After hearing this sentence, Shen Ruo looked up at Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao's hand was still on his head.

With a gentle smile on Zhang Junmei's face, she just looked at him like this and said these words.

The heartbeat was chaotic again, and Shen Ruo didn't know what to say for a while, and her ears began to heat.

Chu Xiao, who had been looking at Shen Ruo, found that his ears were red. In fact, he said the words just now subconsciously. He didn't deliberately flirt with Shen Ruo.

The hand that rubbed Shen Ruo's hair helped Shen Ruoshun again, and Chu Xiao's eyes were full of joy.

——

Time flies so fast, the day of the family banquet will come soon.

Since the evening, hover cars and aircrafts have come in successively in the Duke's Mansion, and many gorgeously dressed guests have been taken into the reception building. This building is all used to entertain guests.

Shen Ruo put on the clothes changed from Chu Xiao's dress, and it fit well. When Chu Xiao saw him, Shen Ruo was wearing his clothes, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

After the last time, Shen Ruo had a general understanding of what the banquet was like, but this time, he was not so nervous, and it was a family banquet held at the Chu family, a place he was more familiar with.

According to Chu Xiao, this is a banquet that the Chu family will hold once a year in summer, and some relatives and friends will be invited over.

But Shen Ruo, who was no longer nervous about the banquet, fell into another kind of nervousness and trouble. He didn't know if he should tell Chu Xiao, especially after the run the day before yesterday, Chu Xiao told him that he could afford it. after him.

Every time he thought about it, his heart beat faster and his ears started to heat.

He was thinking about how to say it if he really wanted to tell Chu Xiao.

But even when he was just organizing the language in his heart, Shen Ruo's whole body became nervous, so nervous that even after he regained his senses, he found that he had been holding the corner of his clothes, wrinkling his clothes, and he didn't say anything. come up with.

Therefore, Chu Xiao, who had been staying in the house for the past two days and did not go out, saw that Shen Ruo was always distracted, avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and his voice became quieter, just like when he first came to Dixing, he was introverted and uneasy.

Because many guests came, and they were all relatives, Chu Xiao was dragged to talk by Mrs. Chu's own younger brother. He couldn't shirk the elders, so he could only accompany the old man with a smile.

Because his uncle and grandfather have been accustomed to him since he was a child, if the old man knew about something, he would always blow his beard and stare in anger, but he still helped him clean up, so Chu Xiao was the same as before Mrs. .

After Chu Xiao got out, he subconsciously went to find Shen Ruo, but there was no one in the place where Shen Ruo had been before, and he didn't know where to go.

Thinking of Shen Ruo's abnormality in the past two days, and even sometimes avoiding him, Chu Xiao frowned slightly.

"cousin."

Chu Xiao, who had just turned on his brain, heard a familiar voice, and he turned to look at the little Asian who called him.

Saixi was accompanied by a demi-human taller than him. When he saw Chu Xiao, he happily dragged the demi-human and trotted over.

"Cousin, long time no see."

Saixi is very lively, he is really excited after seeing Chu Xiao, because in his eyes, Chu Xiao is very powerful.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

As Chu Xiao said that, he also nodded slightly to the demi-human, and there was nothing else to do, just give Saixi face. He looked down at Guangnao and found Shen Ruo.

Seeing Saixi's excitement and being his cousin's only son, Chu Xiao could only try his best to be patient and say, "I still have something to do. I have all the desserts you like, eat them yourself."

After he finished speaking, Chu Xiao didn't even look at the demi-human who was following Saixi's side, so Chu Xiao walked to the second floor, looking anxious.

Therefore, Sixi is dissatisfied in his heart, and it is not easy to show it.

Everyone knows that his cousin has a bad temper. Although Chu Xiao has never reprimanded him, Saixi is a young Asian who has seen Chu Xiao beating others, so he is still a little afraid of Chu Xiao.

With Saixi and the demihuman behind him, Chu Xiao's expression turned cold.

Today's banquet was originally just a family banquet for the Chu family, but even he only learned this morning that his mother, who was still on the front line, sent invitations to other families.

Those families all have daughters and demi-human sons who are more suitable for him, so there are many people at today's banquet, and many people are coming for him.

Walking up the stairs, Chu Xiao could feel the gazes around him, but he didn't care, just ignore it. Now he just wants to find Shen Ruo first. There are too many people here, and he is afraid of being rude and gossiping.If they talk to Shen Ruo about those things...

Shen Ruo was on the second floor, and Chu Xiao quickened his pace when he saw that there were many people on the second floor on the monitor.

But before he could walk over, there were bursts of exclamations from the second floor, and then Chu Xiao saw a familiar figure accidentally fall on the steps, and immediately rolled down.
