After calming down for a while at home, Zhao Jingchuan's mood eased.

Shu Li poured him a glass of water, trying to calm him down, hugged Alaska who was shaking his head and acting coquettishly, and murmured, "Thank you."

After a long silence, Zhao Jingchuan raised his eyelids to look at her, "Thank me for what?"

Shu Li looked straight into his eyes and said sincerely: "Because I know that you lost your temper because of me."

"At that time, you could not speak at all, let them pretend they didn't hear you after the discussion, and kept silent the whole time, but you still chose to stop it, even if you faced the risk of a deadlock in the relationship with my family and your parents,They also have to be made aware of the problems, so it's only fitting that I say thank you."

Seeing that Zhao Jingchuan didn't answer, she rested her chin and said helplessly, "It's just that the situation is a bit embarrassing now, what should I do next?"

She hates dealing with this kind of problem the most, and she probably will have to be told by her mother when she gets home.

"It's nothing to have a stalemate with your family. It's normal for people to have conflicts when getting along with each other. You don't need to make me so great." He was silent for a few seconds, suddenly curious, "Are you usually at home, orIs this how you have been getting along with your family since you were a child?"

Shu Li knew that compared with him, her way of handling things was too cowardly, but she had not resisted, "My mother's personality is like that, she has her own set of ideas, once something is decided by her, in our houseNo one can change it. When I was young, I didn’t listen to her and refuted it a few times. After I found out that it was useless and she still insisted on herself, I didn’t bother to care about it. After a long time, it became what you saw."

"Although sometimes she doesn't like what she says, there's nothing I can do about it." Shu Li hugged the mango, resting his chin on its head, the more he spoke, the lower his voice, the tone contained a little grievance but more helplessness, "What she saidThe concept of acceptance is different from ours. I am just her daughter. In front of her, I have no ability or full qualifications to force her or change her, so I have long been used to it. As long as I think about her essence, it is not to hurt me, but toIf I use the wrong method, I can bear it, and I can only bear it."

When Shu Li was very young, Shu Li had a high fever, and Shu Hailiang was not at home. Mei Yunqing anxiously carried her to the hospital at three o'clock in the middle of the night, for fear that she would burn out her body and head overnight;The family’s money also sent her to the school with the best educational resources; in the year of the college entrance examination, under the huge study pressure, I was worried that she would not eat well at school and was not nutritious enough, so I came here every now and then to give her the soup I made myself.

Humans are complex creatures, not black and white, good or bad.

Zhao Jingchuan was silent after listening, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he heard him let out a low sigh from the bottom of his heart, "No wonder your character has become like this..."

But Shu Li didn't understand what he said next.

Asked him, he didn't say anything.

She didn't eat much at the restaurant just now, she just listened to Li Lian's talk, and the table of her parents' favorite home-cooked food really made her lose her appetite, and she was so hungry that she was rumbling again within half an hour after she came back.

In order to find something to do, Shu Li got up and said, "Let's make something to eat. Are you full?"

Shu Li had already stood up, as if he was about to go to the kitchen.

The wrist was suddenly clasped, and a long leg was casually placed on the aisle between the sofa and the coffee table, blocking her way.

Zhao Jingchuan's voice was clear and firm, "No need to do it, let's go out to eat."

"Now?" She looked down at him and asked uncertainly.

"right."

So, the two put on their shoes, put the mango in the dog pen, and led it out again.

Shu Li felt that he was not in the mood tonight, but after coming down, he found that he was not only in a good mood, but also took her to a newly opened western restaurant with a high style downstairs, as if he wanted to accompany her to finish the foolish meal just now.Make up for dinner.

Shu Li has never been a picky eater since she was a child. She doesn't care what she eats, but Western food will make her more appetizing. She ordered a creamy macaroni and a glass of juice and started to eat.

Zhao Jingchuan sat opposite her and ate a lot with her.

After dinner, they chatted unimportantly while walking the dog along the path by the river as they had done last week.

Shu Li finally found a chance to ask him: "Your mother said you had a car accident when you were 22?"

Zhao Jingchuan: "Yes."

"What's the reason?" In Shu Li's impression, he is not the kind of person with a very impatient personality, so it should not be a spontaneous accident, could it be that he was accidentally bumped into?

On the opposite side, a few children came over on skateboards. Zhao Jingchuan tightened the rope holding Alaska, and replied, "I was distracted. I was thinking about something that day."

"Oh, so that's the case." Shu Li wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but he didn't have the nerve to go into it.

After a while, she suddenly became sleepy, and she didn't know when she got sleepy after eating. She yawned with misty eyes and said, "I have to go to bed early tonight, and I have to go to work tomorrow. I go to work every Monday.I am very sleepy, and I have to teach in front of the students, and I am embarrassed to yawn on the podium."

"Drowsy?" He paused for a few seconds, intending to give her a suggestion, and asked, "I have a way to wake you up instantly, do you want to know?"

"What?" Shu Li thought that it could still be so magical, couldn't help being curious, and boldly teased him with a playful tone, "Could it be the methods that are already rotten on the Internet? I tried it, and it didn't work."does not work."

Zhao Jingchuan raised his eyebrows, and said firmly, "My method will definitely work."

Zhao Jingchuan took her into a 24-hour convenience store, and the mechanical voice of "Welcome" automatically sounded as soon as she entered.

There were two girls in the store who were a year or two younger than her in staff uniforms. When they saw a fat and stupid dog being brought in, they immediately stopped fiddling with the shelves, walked over and squatted down with glowing eyes,After obtaining their consent, masturbated twice intoxicated.

Zhao Jingchuan calmly took a bottle of mineral water from the freezer and put it on the cash register, then moved his gaze down to the small shelf below and scanned around, and picked up a Peppermint Candy.

When Shu Li saw what he bought, he already guessed what his method was.

Sure enough, after paying the bill, he stood at the door of the convenience store, tore open a Peppermint Candy wrapper, and handed the candy to her lips: "Try it?"

Shu Li leaned closer and took the candy into his mouth slowly, worried that the candy would fall on the ground, and when he took the candy with his mouth, his lower lip accidentally touched his cool fingertips.

Peppermint Candy entered the mouth, and in less than a second, the cool mint smell spread from the lips and teeth to the sky, which made her wake up a little in an instant.

She pretended not to understand and asked, "Is that all?"

"Wait." Immediately afterwards, he unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and lifted it towards her, "Take a sip."

Shu Li did as he did, and the cool smell was infinitely enlarged by the cold water entrance, rushing up with the greatest intensity, stimulating every nerve in the brain, making it difficult for people not to wake up.

She widened her eyes in surprise, and asked with a smile, "So, this is your method?"

"It's not easy to use?" Zhao Jingchuan continued, "This is the refreshing method I used when I was in school. When I was in high school, we had tables at the front and back. If you pay attention, you will find that I often eat this kind of candy."

He tore another one casually and threw it into his mouth.

It may be that I want to experience the fun of going straight to the top of the sky again, but I am too lazy to go in and buy a bottle of water. I unscrew the lid and face her directly, with my lips close to the mouth of the bottle she just drank, and drink it indifferently.Go in with one bite.

He lifted his chin lightly, and his Adam's apple rolled twice.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on his face, and fell on the bulge of his neck, making his skin cold and pale, making him look colder and more sexy as hell.

The tips of Shu Li's ears turned red immediately, and he lowered his head and rubbed Mango's furry head, facing the dog who didn't understand anything, he said helplessly: I've been paying attention to you for a long time.

Although this was a method without the slightest surprise for her, she still showed an expression of "Why are you so good?" and praised: "I learned, I will do this in the future."

It was past ten o'clock at night when got home, and the night wind poured in through the window with the coolness of late autumn.

Shu Li closed the window, hurriedly walked into the cloakroom to find clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Seeing that Zhao Jingchuan also planned to take a shower right now, he let him do it first.

He forgot to take off his watch before entering the bathroom, and returned to the table beside the bed just to take off the watch, when she stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes. After a few seconds, she heard her looking up and whispering, "Zhao Jingchuan, thank you.”

"Thank you for what?" He looked at her sideways, his face obviously unhappy, "How many times have you said this sentence today? Did I say that in front of me..."

Before he could finish speaking, she rushed to talk, "Yes, I know, you said not to say thank you in front of you, but I just wanted to say it."

Whether it was standing up for her at the dinner table, or going out with her to make her happier, wanted to thank him.

Zhao Jingchuan thought she was quite stubborn.

Why don't you need to go to her mother for this stubborn temper? If you can use it, you don't have to be angry all day long.

"Do you know why that day when you asked me if I wanted to get married, I rejected you for the first time, then turned around and agreed and proposed that we go for a premarital examination?" For some reason tonight, Shu Li wanted to break up with him completely.Say something.

Zhao Jingchuan nodded: "I know."

"Because we had just met at that time, I thought it was really ridiculous." Shu Li expressed his true thoughts, "Although we were classmates in high school, after so many years, I still don't know much about you now., Marriage is a lifetime thing, so I'm a little worried."

He also told her the truth, "At that time, I just bumped into you because I was annoyed by being forced, and I mentioned it casually. After you refused, you didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect you to agree, and I didn't reject it, and I didn't reject it.The reason is contradictory."

Shu Li was stunned for a moment, which meant that if she didn't agree at that time, nothing would happen later.

They really have nothing to do with each other?

An unspeakable emotion welled up in her heart, and she was silent for a while before she said: "So, we are all gambling? Then do you regret it now?"

Zhao Jingchuan said without any hesitation, "Why should you regret it? There is nothing to regret, and there is no need to regret it."

Hearing his words, Shu Li chuckled and said softly, "What's the matter? I found that I seemed to have won the bet."

Zhao Jingchuan understood what she meant, and teased, "Come to a conclusion so quickly?"

"Yeah." Shu Li replied, "It has nothing to do with time, you can experience it yourself."

The two looked at each other and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Zhao Jingchuan said, "OK."

After finishing the conversation, she was about to go into the bathroom to wash up, but suddenly she pulled her wrist again and stopped her, "Also, actually...I..."

He frowned, not understanding what she had to say, and waited patiently for a while, waiting for her complete sentence.

Shu Li struggled for a few minutes, couldn't speak for a few times, finally took a deep breath, and as if he was going all out, he gritted his teeth and said a very shameful sentence, "I think I'm well adapted and ready."

Zhao Jingchuan glanced at her lightly, at first he didn't understand what she meant, so he hummed lightly.

After understanding what she said, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and the footsteps of leaving stopped again, and she specifically teased her, "You really... come to inform me so formally?"
