Chapter 97 Let's be together

At Chi Shen's insistence, Qiao Zhen Zhen had to simply pack up some clothes and daily necessities and follow him home.

It's just that after arriving at his residence, he faced the same problem as when he stayed there last time.

"...just one room." Qiao Zhen Zhen said helplessly.

Chi Shen glanced at her: "Like before, I'll just sleep in the living room."

"It's too inconvenient, why don't I go find a hotel." Qiao Zhenzhen pursed her lips. The last time I only stayed for one night, everything was fine, but this time I have to stay for a long time, how could she let him live in the living room all the time.

Seeing her disagreement, Chi Shen asked after a quiet moment, "Do you want me to sleep with you?"

"...I just don't think it's appropriate for you to live in the living room." If it wasn't for his serious expression, Qiao Zhen Zhen would have thought he was teasing herself.

A slight smile appeared on Chi Shen's lips: "There's nothing inappropriate."

"No, it will affect the rest too much," Qiao Zhenzhen saw that he insisted on not letting herself go to the hotel, and thought for a moment, "Why don't you do this, I'll make the floor in the study, you still live in the master bedroom."

Chi Shen frowned suddenly.

"It's settled, I'm already very embarrassed to disturb you, if you give me the master bedroom again, I'm afraid it will be awkward." Qiao Zhen Zhen made a decision.

Chi Shen didn't like her separating them so clearly, so he heard the words lighter: "When you came to Chi's house before, you also stayed in my room."

"Now it's different from before..." Qiao Zhenzhen said halfway through, she raised her head to meet Chishen's eyes, and abruptly changed it to something else, "Anyway, I sleep in the study, the audio-visual room is fine, if not, the warehouse is fine. "

"Then it's better to sleep in the study room, there is a bathroom, so it's more convenient." Chi Shen compromised, lowered his hair and went out with a message.

Qiao Zhen Zhen let out a sigh of relief, dragged the box into the study, and while packing her things, she raised her head and asked, "Do you have any confidential documents in your study? It's better to lock it or take it to the bedroom, although I won't mess it up. Move your stuff, but be careful."

"No, you can move everything in the study room," Chi Shen said, and paused for a moment, "also at home."

This sentence is obviously unremarkable, but I don't know why, when it came out of his mouth, it suddenly became very attractive. Qiao Zhen Zhen's heartbeat missed a beat, she tried her best to keep the corners of her lips from rising: "Oh, I see."

Chi Shen stared at the tips of her slightly flushed ears for a long time, and finally turned his face away calmly.

Qiao Zhen Zhen didn't bring many things. After putting all the toiletries in the bathroom, there were only a few clothes left, she simply put them all in the box. After everything was sorted, she sat down directly on the floor and looked at Chi Shen who was still standing at the door: "Are there any extra quilts?"

"Well," Chi Shen's throat overflowed in response, "Wait."

"It's okay, don't worry." Qiao Zhenzhen smiled.

Chi Shen glanced at her, went to the living room to get some snacks, and sat opposite her. The distance between the two people was suddenly less than one meter, and the gap between the knees was almost non-existent, Qiao Zhen Zhen's heartbeat increased again.

"What are you doing?" she asked, holding her breath.

Chi Shen opened a pack of potato chips and placed it among them: "I can't finish a pack."

Qiao Zhen Zhen: "..." Just let her help me eat something?

She pulled the corner of her lips and lowered her head to take potato chips from the packaging bag. Neither of them spoke. There were only two people in the study for a while.

Eating snacks is obviously a relaxing thing, but Qiao Zhen Zhen doesn't know why, the more she eats, the slower she eats, the more nervous she eats, all her attention is on someone, even her breathing is almost uncomfortable.

"You don't need to pay too much attention to what I said today." Chi Shen said suddenly.

Qiao Zhen Zhen raised her head sharply: "Who? Who cares? I don't!"

The corners of Chi Shen's lips raised slightly.

Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at his calm appearance and suddenly became a little frustrated: "...you don't care at all."

"Who told you that I don't care?" Chi Shen asked back.

Qiao Zhen Zhen opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Chi Shen smiled lightly, watching her eyes soften a lot: "I'm still waiting for you to give me an answer."

Qiao Zhen Zhen blinked: "Will you be unhappy if I reject you?"

Chi Shen was silent for a moment: "Should I be unhappy?"

"...Who are you asking?" Qiao Zhen Zhen was speechless.

Chi Shen stared at her expression for a moment and replied, "Yes."

He will be unhappy, indicating that she can still make his mood fluctuate. Qiao Zhen Zhen's blind date-like discomfort finally eased a lot.

She and Chi Shen looked at each other for a long time, and the corners of their lips couldn't help but rise again: "Then you may not have a chance to be unhappy."

Chi Shen's throat moved, and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door, he frowned and got up to open the door, Qiao Zhen Zhen also quickly stood up.

It was the secretary who brought someone to deliver the bed.

When she saw them bring the bed in, Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned sincerely. She knew that this bed was Chi Shen's bed at home. The reason why she was so sure was because there was a small scratch on the cushion at the corner of the bed, which she accidentally left when she came to Chi's house to find Chi Shen. .

"I was afraid of formaldehyde in the new bed, and I was afraid that you would not be able to adapt to it, so I asked them to go home and move the bed in my room." Chi Shen took the initiative to explain.

Qiao Zhen Zhen's lips moved, and after a while she said with difficulty: "Actually, it doesn't take so much trouble."

"I'm chasing you, of course I have to show sincerity." Chi Shen replied.

Hearing that he put the word "chasing her" on his lips so generously, Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at the secretary embarrassedly. Fortunately, the secretary and everyone who moved the bed have seen the world, no matter how surprised he was when he heard Chi Shen's words, his face remained calm, which greatly relieved Qiao Zhen Zhen's embarrassment.

After the bed was brought into the study, the others left, and the huge house was suddenly quiet.

"You mean that I don't have a chance to be unhappy," Chi Shen continued the previous topic, "Does it mean that you will agree to be with me?"

"...Well." Although he knew in his heart that he didn't like her that much, she still blushed a little when facing his problems.

Chi Shen looked at her steadily, and suddenly said after a while: "You promised so quickly, it makes me feel unreal."

"...Then what kind of realism do you want?" Qiao Zhenzhen was embarrassed and puzzled, "Do you want me to refuse first?"

Chi Shen obviously wouldn't agree, he just said after being quiet, "I thought you didn't like me."

"I thought you didn't like me too." Qiao Zhenzhen said. When they first met, he seemed to reject her.

The two fell silent after speaking, and after looking at each other for a long time, Chi Shen's throat moved: "So, you like me."

Qiao Zhen Zhen's face was a little hot, but she still nodded seriously: "Yeah." After so many years, this has never changed.

Chi Shen stared into her eyes, before reaching out to her for a long time: "So we are boyfriend and girlfriend."

Qiao Zhen Zhen's face was completely red, but as soon as she raised her head, she met his calm eyes, and her steaming heart suddenly became much colder. She hesitated and took his hand: "Yes."

"...Why do you guys seem to be talking about cooperation?" Xiao Ba murmured in a low voice.

Qiao Zhen Zhen bit her lower lip, ignoring its words, and let go of Chi Shen's hand: "It's getting late, I have to pack up and go to bed."

Chi Shen's palm suddenly emptied, he pursed his lips, and followed to help clean up.

By the time everything was sorted, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Qiao Zhen Zhen's face was faintly sleepy.

"What time will you go to work tomorrow? I'll take you off." Chi Shen asked.

Qiao Zhen Zhen returned to her senses: "I'll just take a taxi by myself."

"Qiao Zhen Zhen, you have rejected me many times tonight." Chi Shen said calmly.

Qiao Zhen Zhen paused, helpless: "Which time did it succeed?"

"No." The corners of Chi Shen's lips twitched, "So don't do any more useless work."

"...work at nine o'clock, but no one will check my attendance, so it doesn't matter if it's later or earlier, just follow your time." Qiao Zhenzhen sighed.

Chi Shen nodded slightly, indicating that he had listened, then turned his head and walked out, stopped abruptly after walking a few steps, and looked back at Qiao Zhenzhen: "I am like this, do you think it's too fast?"

"Quick what?" Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him in confusion.

Chi Shen was silent for a moment, then asked in a different way, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned, and finally understood what he meant: "No."

"Not surprising?" Chi Shen asked again.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "...not strange, but your question is very strange." Is he strange, doesn't he know in his heart? He even had to ask the person he was chasing.

Chi Shen's eyes were gentle: "It's fine, just go to sleep."

After speaking, he took the initiative to help her close the door from the outside.

The door lock clicked, and the surroundings fell silent.

Qiao Zhen Zhen fell down on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a long time, then whispered: "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

"I also feel like I'm dreaming." Xiao Ba's voice followed erratically.

Qiao Zhen Zhen laughed: "What are you so excited about?"

"He's the first-generation goodwill maker." The difficult-to-follow Xiaoba's electronic voice can actually create a trembling feeling.

Qiao Zhenzhen raised her lips, she couldn't laugh after thinking of something: "Am I too much? The words he said when he confessed to me today, and when he said that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, he wasn't too excited, It made me feel disappointed.”

"He is a normal person now, love and hate will not be as strong as they used to be, and it is normal for you to have a gap," Xiaoba paused after speaking, "but we are realistic, since the reunion, he has done better than ordinary men. Now, you can't always compare him who is normal now with the one who was mentally ill before, it's not fair."

"I know, I'm just tangled up secretly, of course I'm willing to treat him," Qiao Zhenzhen felt better again, "Do you want me to go over now, and tell him that I've been waiting since we separated Has he never changed?"

"...Be more reserved, he is now a normal man who has a crush on you. He doesn't have as thick a filter as before. If you are too proactive, you might scare him away." Xiao Ba was helpless.

Qiao Zhen Zhen thought about it too, so she gave up her impulsive thoughts: "Yes, then I won't talk about it, anyway, it's a fresh start now."

"Yes." Hachi agreed.

Abandoning those senses of difference, and thinking about Chi Shen's confession to her, excitement and happiness suddenly occupied Qiao Zhen Zhen's heart. She rolled on the bed and couldn't fall asleep at all. She simply got up and walked to the bookshelf, trying to find a book to pass the time.

The last time she came, she saw a pile of books on psychology and many original books related to business. Qiao Zhenzhen looked around and couldn't find any books she was interested in. When she was about to give up, Out of the corner of the eye, he saw that there were a few books on the desk.

She hesitated, thinking that Chi Shen said that she could move the things here, and went to the table.

Two books on decoration, and a few... urban romance novels?

Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at the cover that was too small and fresh, and slowly opened her eyes: "Xiao Ba, am I delusional? Chi Shen can read such novels?"

"Host, you don't have hallucinations. There are obvious signs of flipping through these books, and they should be opened and read often." Xiao Ba replied dutifully.

Qiao Zhen Zhen swallowed her saliva, still feeling that this world is a bit mysterious. She put down the romance novel in her hand and read the decoration book again, and found that there were a lot of pieces of paper in it, and there were many random designs on it. Some of the design drawings were very similar to the house she was in. It is Chishen's handwriting.

So... this house was designed by him?

Qiao Zhen Zhen frowned.

Romance novels, decoration design, if only one appears, she may only feel that she hasn't seen each other for a few years, and Chi Shen has changed a lot, but when these two appear at the same time, she only finds it strange and has an awkward sense of strangeness.

...a person's interests and hobbies will change in the process of growing up, she can understand, but everyone's hobbies have a certain relationship with personality and experience, it is a bit strange to suddenly jump out like a castle in the air.

"Host, is there any problem?" Little Eight was curious.

Qiao Zhen Zhen put the books back in their original positions and pressed the strange feeling in her heart: "It's okay."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the bed.

"Don't read books anymore?" Xiaoba asked.

Qiao Zhen Zhen closed her eyes: "Well, I'm not in the mood."

As soon as she said that, Xiaoba didn't ask any further questions.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was lying on the bed quietly, the images of Chi Shen and herself after the reunion kept flashing in her mind. Probably thinking too much, she had a dream about Chi Shen.

In the dream, Chi Shen still looked like an eighteen-year-old boy. There was no emotion in his cold, dark eyes, and he just stared at her quietly. She was seen inexplicably panicked, so she called him carefully, he lowered his head to look at her, his thin and pale face suddenly twisted, and soon turned into the appearance of the reunion, and then raised the corner of his lips towards her.

In the next second, blood and tears flowed directly from his black pupils, which made Qiao Zhen Zhen wake up suddenly.

"Well……"

After opening her eyes for a long time, her breathing was still rapid, and it took a long time for her to calm down. Then she looked at the time on her phone, it was eight in the morning.

She blinked, got up and simply cleaned up and went out. When she walked to the living room, she smelled the fragrance of breakfast. Chi Shen sat calmly at the dining table, and when she saw her appear, she said, "Come and eat."

Qiao Zhen Zhen had just dreamed of him being weird, and when she woke up and looked at him again, she suddenly felt a little strange.

She coughed and sat down opposite him. Chi Shen served her a bowl of porridge.

"Thank you." She lowered her head and dared not look at him.

Chi Shen paused and continued to eat.

The two of them ate quietly. When breakfast was about to end, Qiao Zhenzhen glanced at him and said awkwardly, "That... I couldn't sleep a little yesterday, so I just wanted to get two books to read."

Chi Shen ate his porridge with his eyes lowered: "Those on the bookshelf are boring, but there are a few novels on my desk, you should like them."

Hearing him take the initiative to mention it, Qiao Zhen Zhen immediately said: "I saw it, but I didn't open it... I remember you didn't read novels before, why did you read it suddenly?"

"I don't like it, but the psychiatrist told me that reading more of these books will help my condition, so I will take a look at it from time to time." Chi Shen replied.

When she heard that it was arranged by a psychiatrist, Qiao Zhen Zhen suddenly realized: "Is that so, I said why did you suddenly have this hobby."

"Eat the eggs, we should go." Chi Shen glanced at the eggs in her hand.

Qiao Zhen Zhen hurriedly agreed, and after eating the eggs, she followed him downstairs.

Because of Chi Shen's presence, Qiao Zhen Zhen skipped the link of calling a car, and went straight to the co-pilot after going downstairs.

"Go to the back." Chi Shen frowned.

Qiao Zhen Zhen quickly buckled her seat belt: "Already seated."

Chi Shen looked at her silently, as if she didn't know anything. After a long while, Chi Shen finally compromised.

Probably dissatisfied with her sitting in the co-pilot, he drove a lot slower than usual, but luckily the road was smooth, and when he got downstairs in the studio, it was ten minutes earlier than usual, but Chi Shen was doomed to be late.

"Slow down on your way."

"I'll pick you up tonight."

The two voices rang out at the same time.

Chi Shen paused for a moment: "Is it okay?"

Qiao Zhenzhen and him looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Yeah."

Chi Shen also raised his lips and looked at her quietly.

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly thicken. At first, Qiao Zhen Zhen just looked at him normally, but when she realized that his eyes were on her lips, her breathing suddenly became a little unstable, and one hand unconsciously clenched the corner of her skirt.

"Is it okay?" He asked in a hoarse voice a second time, but the content of the question was different.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was a little nervous: "Will it be too soon?" Didn't they just get together last night?

Chi Shen paused, and pursed his thin lips: "Sorry."

The way he apologized was the same as when he was 18 years old, stripping off the mature man's modest coat, revealing the cautiousness inside. Qiao Zhen Zhen was so moved, she opened her seat belt, leaned over, and kissed the corner of his lips.

Chi Shen raised his head in a daze, and his dazed appearance was more like the original one. Qiao Zhen Zhen was still shy at first, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw his expression.

Chi Shen's eyes suddenly darkened, one hand pressed against the back of her head and pressed towards him, before Qiao Zhen Zhen was ready, she had already ushered in an aggressive kiss.
