52 You lie to me once, I lie to you once, we're even When Chen He'an went upstairs, Jiang Lai was sitting barefoot on the floor. She was only wearing a suspender nightgown, with the thin suspenders sticking out of the blanket she was wrapped in, and the screen of her mobile phone made her face slightly shiny. Chen He'an remembered what he had just heard from the surveillance camera in the living room. Jiang Lai said that she had liked him for a long time, and that she had used a lot of tricks to get close to him... To be honest, he had actually discovered some subtle and wrong things a long time ago, but Jiang Lai was originally a lively person, and he never looked into these unreasonable things - or perhaps he had always been subconsciously indulgent towards Jiang Lai, indulged her to disturb him, indulged her to trouble him, indulged her to break into his life... Chen He'an knew that he was attractive to Jiang Lai, but he didn't know to what extent this attraction was. So when Chen He'an heard that Jiang Lai had liked him for a long time and had planned so many things to get close to him, he was just happy. He never expected Jiang Lai to like him as much as he liked her, but he would never think Jiang Lai's love for him was too little. But this kind of joy was suppressed inside the body, and the biggest emotional fluctuation Chen He'an showed was just the rolling of his Adam's apple. He sat alone in the living room for a long time to digest his emotions, and only went upstairs slowly when he didn't look strange anymore. Chen He'an stood at the door and looked at Jiang Lai calmly for a few seconds. She was concentrating on her phone, and even when he came in, she just gave him a look, and then buried her head and continued to watch. "What are you looking at, so serious, dear?" Chen He'an closed the door gently, and couldn't help asking. "The video that Manman shared with me." Jiang Lai replied perfunctorily. Chen He'an glanced at the screen very ungracefully, and the screen was indeed full of white. - Of course, there would be black spots occasionally, because Meng Man really liked dark-skinned athletes. Shen Hean took a deep breath, leaned over and pinched Jiang Lai's neck, and lowered his voice: "Xiaoman, why are you looking at these messy things again?" Jiang Lai turned off the screen with a "ah", and his hand slid into Shen Hean's clothes, rubbing them like clothes, muttering: "It's true that looking is not as good as touching..." Shen Hean was tickled by her hand. He lowered his eyes and looked at the person who was making trouble, laughed softly, raised his hand and gently held Jiang Lai's wrist: "Stop it, dear..." Jiang Lai finally calmed down after having a hand addiction. She rolled on the bed and looked in a good mood: "Don't you have to go to the company?" Shen Hean observed Jiang Lai's expression. Jiang Lai didn't seem to be in any unusual mood, and was even quite relaxed. He was very anxious on the way home today, afraid that his mother would bully Jiang Lai, and even more afraid that Jiang Lai would be unhappy and cry. But the facts were beyond his expectations. In the surveillance video, Jiang Lai spoke clearly and with solid arguments, and she used her sharp tongue to the fullest extent when talking to him. Shen Hean could not deny that he was quite pleased to see Jiang Lai's logical argument with his mother. He felt as if his daughter had grown up. Although Jiang Lai didn't look unhappy, Chen He'an confirmed it again: "My dear, I've told my mother that I want to be serious about dating you, and asked her not to bother us anymore. ... Were you scared today?" "No." Jiang Lai shook his head and gestured to him with his fingers, with a small gap between his index finger and thumb: "But it was a little awkward." "Sorry, I didn't handle it well." Chen He'an half-knelt down at the head of the bed with some guilt, raised his hand and gently rubbed Jiang Lai's hair: "There won't be a next time, baby." Jiang Lai shook his head: "It's okay, I don't think your mother will be too... evil mother-in-law? I thought she would give me a check to let me leave her son, but I didn't expect she could still communicate." "Baby is so sensible." Chen He'an sighed, his eyes were soft, like the kind of parents who would praise their children for tearing tissues. Jiang Lai smiled because of the metaphor he thought of in his heart. Seeing her bright eyes, Chen He'an couldn't help but smile. He felt very happy. If there is no soft, tough, and energetic life like Jiang Lai, then he may never feel the taste of being alive and what happiness should be like. Jiang Lai didn't know that his heart was about to overflow with love, and he just lay on his side and watched him and asked him: "Don't go to work, let's have lunch together at noon?" "Okay." Shen He'an didn't consider the work that had not been completed today, and immediately responded with a smile: "Baby, what do you want to eat?" "Barbecue!" Jiang Lai jumped up from the bed excitedly: "College students get a 39% discount! It can only be used at noon on weekdays. Finally, someone is eating with me-" Shen He'an sighed: "Baby, don't wait. Next time you want to eat, just tell me directly, and we can go eat together." Although he didn't care about the discount, he liked to see Jiang Lai mumbling about how much money she could save. It was so cute, but she didn't know it herself. Before leaving, Shen He'an glanced at the surveillance in the living room, and suddenly felt a little itchy, and couldn't help asking Jiang Lai: "Baby, do you have anything else to tell me?" "What?" Jiang Lai was putting on her shoes and asked perfunctorily. What? Chen Hean was unwilling to admit that his thoughts were so despicable. It was good enough that he knew, but he still wanted to hear Jiang Lai say it herself - how much she liked him, and what she had done to get close to him. Chen Hean's Adam's apple rolled, and the words he finally said became: "Tell me what you talked about with my mother this morning. Is there anything that makes you unhappy?" Jiang Lai straightened up and began to fiddle with the bow on her skirt again. While adjusting the size of the bow, she casually said as if she didn't care: "Don't you know everything?" Chen Hean was slightly stunned. Jiang Lai didn't look at him, but just raised her chin in the direction of the surveillance in the living room: "Don't you have all the surveillance?" Chen Hean pursed his lips, and the emotions in his eyes were obscure. "I know there are still things in my phone that I haven't uninstalled." Jiang Lai suddenly said this. Chen Hean froze in an instant, he looked at Jiang Lai motionlessly, the sound of his heartbeat was so loud that he had tinnitus for a moment. Chen Hean didn't expect Jiang Lai to know. He stood there, not daring to move, nor to miss a single expression from Jiang Lai. He was like... a prisoner waiting for sentencing. And his judge finally fixed her bow and patted it with satisfaction. She finally looked up at him, and then pulled the corners of her mouth, not too happy but not too angry: "Okay, I lied to you once, and you lied to me once, so it's even." He was finally able to breathe. The door closed behind him, and Shen Hean couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. After Jiang Lai finished speaking, she walked forward quickly as if she was embarrassed and annoyed. Shen Hean strode to catch up with her, and his hand stuck to the back of her neck as if he had a radar. When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice had become hoarse without knowing when: "Baby, so you..." "Don't say it!" Jiang Lai stomped her feet and glared at him. Chen Hean chuckled softly and responded in a doting tone: "Okay, I won't tell you." Jiang Lai walked away quickly again as if she was sulking. Chen Hean followed behind her and whispered in his heart: "But I have to say that I have liked you for a long, long time, Xiaoman."
