29 Why sitting in front of you is like standing by the lake

Jiang Lai said that she was not allowed to go in, so Chen He'an really didn't go in. After serving her, he washed her and then carried her back to the bedroom wrapped in a clean bath towel.

Jiang Lai threw the bath towel on the ground, rolled into the quilt naked, and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, leaving only the back of Chen He'an's head unwilling to pay attention to him.

Because his shirt was wet, Chen He'an had just taken off his shirt in the bathroom while doing it with her, but his suit pants were still on. He stood by the bed and looked at Jiang Lai for a while, but it was a pity that Jiang Lai didn't turn around to see his lewd look.

He was dirty, so he didn't get on the bed, but just leaned over and gently touched Jiang Lai's forehead with his lips.

"Good girl." He called softly.

The person on the bed didn't react at all. He sighed softly and said in a gentle tone: "After I take a shower, let's have a good chat, okay?"

Jiang Lai naturally did not answer him, and when Shen Hean came back from the shower, Jiang Lai had already fallen into a deep sleep.

She was really asleep. Shen Hean could feel Jiang Lai's steady and even breathing, so he did not disturb her, but just took the phone and left the room quietly.

Shen Hean walked downstairs to the living room and called his mother.

It was still early at that time, and the phone rang only a few times before it was connected. On the other end of the receiver was Shen's mother's somewhat surprised voice: "He An?"

It was no wonder that Shen's mother was so surprised. Shen Hean almost never called his mother unless something big happened.

Shen Hean didn't beat around the bush, and said directly in a light tone: "You came to my place this afternoon?"

"Oh, yes." Shen's mother didn't notice the difference in Shen Hean's tone. She thought of what happened this afternoon and said sharply: "Remember to go home for dinner tomorrow night... Speaking of this, what's wrong with you? It's okay to hide a woman at home, but why hide a little girl? How old is she? Is she an adult? Shen Hean, are you confused?"

The surveillance video has sound. Shen Hean watched it carefully twice and naturally knew what his mother and Jiang Lai said.

Before opening the surveillance record, what he was most afraid of was to hear his mother say something similar to insulting to Jiang Lai, making her feel wronged. Fortunately, she didn't. Shen Hean was not angry because Jiang Lai deliberately pretended to be innocent and ignorant. On the contrary, he was relieved that Jiang Lai protected himself in front of outsiders.

But even so, he still felt dissatisfied and self-blame in his heart. Dissatisfied with his mother coming to the house without permission, making his little girl unhappy; self-blame for forgetting that there was a key with his mother and forgetting to be on guard.

His tone became a little colder: "I'm an adult and a junior this year."

Shen's mother breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, but then she noticed that there was something wrong with Shen He'an's tone, and her eyebrows frowned: "It's good that you're an adult, it saves a lot of trouble. You should break up with her quickly, and don't let Xiao Gu misunderstand."

"Mom." Shen He'an's tone was flat but implicitly intimidating: "Lai Lai is my girlfriend and will become my wife in the future. I hope you can understand this fact."

There was silence on the other end of the receiver for a few seconds, and then Shen's mother's voice became sharp: "Are you crazy, Shen He'an? How old are you and still fooling around?"

"I've told you, I won't arrange a marriage, and I don't need a marriage." Shen He'an raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his tone a little colder: "Whether you accept it or not, in short, don't do anything to hurt Jiang Lai again."

"I won't go there tomorrow." In the two seconds of pause, Shen Hean quickly dealt with his fluctuating emotions, and his tone became as calm as dead water again: "If you and Dad miss me, I will go back for dinner."

It was really strange to hear the word "miss" in such a tone that was as flat as a well-written program. Shen's mother was speechless for a moment, and realized that the phone had been hung up a few seconds later.

She thought of the innocent eyes of the girl she saw this afternoon, and the anger of being deceived began to burn in her heart. But she soon thought of what Shen Hean said - if she missed him, he would go home for dinner, and her mood suddenly became strange.

Shen Hean had never said such a thing before.

Shen's mother stood on the balcony, looking into the distance with empty eyes. There was a rustling sound of clothes behind her. Shen's father looked at the woman standing on the balcony sleepily, put on her coat from behind, and spoke with a rare considerate tone: "Can't sleep?" Shen's

mother opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she said nothing. She shook her head gently, and put on the same gentle smile as usual: "Nothing, go to bed."

The next day, when Shen Hean woke up, Jiang Lai hadn't gotten up yet. He knew that Jiang Lai didn't have classes this morning, so she would definitely sleep until noon.

He got up quietly, asked his aunt to keep the porridge warm, and then prepared to go out.

Before leaving, Shen Hean paused, he looked back in the direction of the bedroom, feeling uneasy. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally took off his leather shoes, went upstairs quietly to the bedroom, and kissed Jiang Lai on the lips.

His kiss was a little heavy, and the sleeping person was woken up. He raised his hand and impatiently pushed away the face in front of him.

"Good girl." Chen He'an looked at Jiang Lai's impatient frown with gentle eyes, and said softly: "I'm going to work."

Jiang Lai was half asleep, and she didn't care to ignore Chen He'an. She just hoped that the source of the noise would disappear quickly, so she perfunctorily said "um" as a response, but the noise maker was unyielding and kept talking in her ear: "I'll cook tonight and make delicious food for you, okay?"

"Oh!" Jiang Lai snorted in dissatisfaction: "Don't make noise! ​​I want to sleep--"

The cute baby who got up in a bad mood. Chen He'an curved his eyebrows and lowered his head to kiss Jiang Lai on the lips again. This time the kiss was very light, as if to comfort her.

Jiang Lai couldn't stand it anymore, so she buried her face in the quilt, so that the mosquitoes that kept buzzing in her ears couldn't bite her face.

Chen He'an didn't bother her anymore. Just like this, being pushed a few times by Jiang Lai, seeing her throwing a tantrum, he felt much more comfortable, and the stagnant discomfort in his heart also dissipated a lot.

After Chen Hean left, Jiang Lai also fell into a deep sleep. She didn't wake up until after ten o'clock.

Jiang Lai was lazy because she slept too much. She curled up in the quilt and didn't want to move. She just reached out to pick up the phone on the bedside table and opened it to check the messages.

The first message she saw was from the top message. Chen Hean sent her three messages.

[Good girl, I'm going to work. There is porridge in the kitchen. If you get up, go and have some to fill your stomach before lunch. ]

[(Picture) I met a kitten at the entrance of the company. It looks like you, with a round head and a round head. ]

[Have you woken up? Sleeping so late... Oh, I won't be able to sleep again tonight. ]

[Good girl, I'll cook tonight. What do you want to eat? ]

Jiang Lai stared at these messages for a long time, and then she remembered that Chen Hean seemed to have told her in the morning that he would cook for her tonight.

She swiped her fingers across the messages, subconsciously wanting to reply to Shen Hean, saying that he was the one with the round head and round brain, but suddenly she remembered that she was still angry.

Jiang Lai finally remembered that she forgot to tell Shen Hean yesterday that his mother wanted him to go home tonight for dinner with his marriage partner.

The good mood of the day disappeared. Jiang Lai's mouth turned down, and her fingers typed quickly on the phone keyboard: [I forgot to tell you, your mother said yesterday that you should go home tonight for dinner with your marriage partner.]

After sending this sentence, Jiang Lai felt her heart began to ache again, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Shen Hean had not replied to her yet, Jiang Lai swiped down and diverted her attention by checking other messages. Jiang Lai saw a red dot on the contact, clicked it and saw that it was a friend request, and there were only four words - "I am Lu Shi".

Jiang Lai had always pretended not to see this friend request. One reason was that she no longer had any feelings for Lu Shi, and the other reason was that she was immersed in the "love" with Shen Hean and didn't want to have any entanglements with others.

Jiang Lai swiped out and took a look, but Shen Hean still didn't reply to her. Jiang Lai angrily clicked on the contact request, holding back her anger and clicking "Agree".

Shen Hean's message came at this time: [No marriage, dear, I won't go home for dinner tonight. I'll go back to our house and make you something delicious, okay? Guaiguai, is there anything you want to eat?]

Seeing Shen He'an say "no marriage", Jiang Lai's mind moved slightly, but she didn't feel relieved in her heart.

Let's assume that what Shen He'an said about "no marriage" is not a lie, but if he really hasn't thought about marrying someone else, why not try it with her? Why not tell her for sure that he likes her and loves her?

Because it's not the case at all.

Jiang Lai sometimes feels that Shen He'an's care and concern for her are superior. She is not stupid. She has noticed that Shen He'an sometimes has pity in his eyes when he looks at her, like a god who saves all living beings looking at the mediocre people who are about to be saved by him.

Isn't this the beginning of their relationship? When Jiang Lai is with Shen He'an, she sometimes suddenly feels sad. Because she feels that Shen He'an is like a layer of eternal light fog, which often reminds her of a sentence-

why sitting in front of you is like standing by the lake, and the fine mist stretches to the ground.

From the writer Feng Tang

When Jiang Lai thought of this, her heart curled up tightly, and she felt so sad that she wanted to cry.

Maybe she shouldn't be so persistent in wanting Chen He'an's declared love. Maybe the time they spent together day and night in the past year was the most she could get with her efforts.

Maybe she should try to leave Chen He'an.
