Chapter 10 010 Her eyes had color.

Due to the explosion of the suspense drama, Tang Sijia worked overtime for half a month, and after several late nights of brainstorming, she finally submitted the revised almost brand new script for review.

On the way home from work, Tang Sijia specially bought processed grouper and prepared to go home to make steamed fish.

After spending some time together, she found that Shi Chuan liked to eat this kind of lighter food, and she did neglect him a little because of work recently, so it was just right to make up for it.

Thinking of Shi Chuan's expression when he asked her "Do you have to work overtime again?" almost every day, Tang Sijia couldn't help but smile softly, and her pace home became much faster.

Sure enough, seeing her coming home on time, Shi Chuan's eyes lit up, took the fish, and quickly steamed it in the pot.

It was almost eight o'clock when the two finished dinner. Tang Sijia went to take a shower first. When she came out of the shower, she saw the boy washing dishes in the kitchen.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the boy is wearing a thin white casual outfit. His side profile is so delicate that it seems like it was drawn. His tender Adam's apple pushes his thin skin apart, and water drops splash and flow between his distinct fingers.

Tang Sijia paused while wiping her hair.

Shi Chuan put the last plate on the drain rack, and noticed something. He turned his head, met her gaze, and smiled: "Sister!"

Perhaps it was the heat from the bathroom that made Tang Sijia feel a little short of breath. She looked away and said "um": "Shi Chuan, how tall are you?"

Shi Chuan took the ruler and walked to her while wiping his fingers: "I don't know, 187?"

Tang Sijia looked at him carefully. She didn't know if it was because they had been together day and night during this period, but she always felt that he had grown a little taller.

Thinking of this, Tang Sijia went to the drawer and took out a ruler. She asked Shi Chuan to stand by the wall at the door, with his foot on the bottom of the ruler, and asked him to hold it above his head.

"189 cm." Tang Sijia sighed enviously, "It's good to be young, and you can still grow taller."

Unlike her, she was 160 cm tall in junior high school, and she only grew 4 cm taller until she graduated from college.

Although she always reported 165 cm when reporting her height without changing her expression.

Shi Chuan bent down and touched her wet hair, and smiled obediently: "I think this is just right, sister."

Tang Sijia's back stiffened, and she slapped his hand away unhappily: "You are so disrespectful."

During this period, the two of them got along much more naturally.

Tang Sijia sat on the carpet as usual, leaning against the sofa, and asked casually: "How was school today?"

Shi Chuan answered honestly: "I have caught up with the course progress, and I get along well with my classmates. There is a basketball game on Saturday afternoon, and someone invited me to watch it together, but I didn't agree."

"Basketball game?" Tang Sijia became interested.

In college, she spent all her free time on part-time jobs, and she had never watched such a game, but she heard her roommates who came back from watching the game enthusiastically discussing whether the forward or the guard was more handsome.

Shi Chuan looked at her: "Sister, do you like boys who play basketball?"

"What do you mean by like or not?" Tang Sijia was at a loss for words. Then she thought of something. Looking at Shi Chuan's overly calm expression, she thought that it would be good for him to spend more time with his peers at his age. So she suggested, "You don't have to work overtime this Saturday. Why don't you go and join in the fun? I heard that the Sports College of the University of Economics and Business is very good. I haven't seen it yet."

Shi Chuan looked at the light in her eyes and nodded after a long time.

On Saturday, Tang Sijia changed into casual clothes. When she and Shi Chuan came to the gymnasium of the University of Economics and Business, the stands were already full of people.

The two were looking for an empty seat when a gentle and shy female voice rang out: "Shi Chuan, classmate, I didn't expect you to really come."

Tang Sijia looked forward and saw a girl in a white slim dress with black hair. She blushed and walked in front of Shi Chuan under the push of her friend.

The young and beautiful girl was as clean and beautiful as a white rose.

However, the shy expression of the girl froze obviously when she saw her, and she opened her mouth: "...Who are you?"

Tang Sijia raised the corner of her lips: "I am Shi Chuan's sister."

Seeing the girl's expression become pleasantly surprised again, Tang Sijia understood, turned around and smiled at Shi Chuan: "I'll find a seat first, you guys chat first."

After that, she took the lead to walk forward.

Shi Chuan frowned slightly, and was about to walk forward, but was blocked by the girl again.

He lowered his eyes impatiently, and his eyes instantly became cold: "What's the matter?"

The girl seemed to be shocked by his change, and after a while, he said dryly: "I want to ask you to sit with me, and then..."

Shi Chuan stared at her for a moment, and suddenly laughed, like ice and snow melting, spring warms up and flowers bloom: "Why don't you speak directly, classmate."

The girl stared at his smile blankly, her cheeks red like the sunset in the sky: "I want to say... I know you are an auditor, but I don't care, I like you..."

"Then what?" Shi Chuan glanced at Tang Sijia not far away, who had found a seat and sat down.

"Can you... go out with me..." The girl's voice became softer and softer.

Shi Chuan retracted his gaze and said without thinking: "No."

The girl's face turned pale: "Do you have someone you like?"

"No."

"Then why..."

"Because it's dirty," Shi Chuan said with a smile, "There are colorful powders floating on your face, and they are squirming when you talk."

In his eyes, those cosmetics are like a transparent barrier between the grayish-white skin.

What he saw were two faces, one in front and one behind.

The girl was already frightened on the spot, and Shi Chuan walked around her and walked towards Tang Sijia who was not far away.

"Are you done?" Tang Sijia turned her head and looked at the person who came, smiling.

Shi Chuan stood in front of the empty seat next to her, looking down at this woman who always had no makeup on.

He knew very well that he should pretend to nod and sit next to her at this time.

But he didn't want to.

It was like a precision instrument that stopped working without knowing where the error occurred.

He didn't know what was wrong with his emotions. He had never felt this way before. He

couldn't laugh, and didn't even want to pay attention to her.

Shi Chuan sat down calmly without answering.

Tang Sijia's smile froze, and he glanced at the girl not far away. He only had time to see the girl's skirt fluttering as she ran away quickly.

Perhaps the conversation just now was unpleasant, so both of them looked like this.

Tang Sijia thought quietly.

But this matter is a personal matter after all, so Tang Sijia did not ask more.

Not long after, the game started.

Tang Sijia was still a little uncomfortable with such a lively environment at first, but after a long time, she was infected by the atmosphere around her and she couldn't help but clench her hands.

The score between the two sides was very close, and Tang Sijia couldn't help but breathe a sigh

of relief for the members of the Economic and Trade Team. Until the boy in the No. 6 jersey handsomely bypassed the player who blocked his way, jumped high, and the ball went into the basket. The boy also grabbed the backboard and made a victory gesture at will.

Tang Sijia couldn't help but stand up with the people around him.

Shi Chuan's eyes were fixed on the woman's face.

She was always gentle and calm, like a cup of warm water that would never boil, ordinary.

But the moment she stood up, her eyes burst with passion and vitality that he had never seen before.

Immediately, that vitality seemed to become substantial and spread in her pupils, no longer dull gray and black, but a clean, rich dark brown.

This is the color of her eyeballs.

Shi Chuan lowered his eyes, his heart filled with unspeakable anger.

There was another part of her body where he could feel the vivid color.

But that touch of color did not bloom because of him, but because...

Shi Chuan looked at the boy who had just dunked successfully on the basketball court.

Because of him.

*

57 Private Club.

The sound of the basketball hitting the ground and the friction of the sneakers continued to sound.

The boy in a white jersey wore a headband of the same color on his head, dribbled the ball with a cross step and jumped up. After a nearly perfect slam dunk, he fell back to the ground with a blank expression.

But he didn't rest, and soon he was in the next round of practice.

William stood aside with his arms folded, and walked up to the boy until he saw that he was exhausted: "What? Don't want to play basketball anymore?"

Shi Chuan picked up a towel with the Versace logo, wiped the sweat off his face, and threw it into the trash can: "I'm not interested in basketball."

William raised his eyebrows: "You're not interested, and you suddenly told me that you want to learn basketball?"

This time Shi Chuan didn't speak, and took a few sips of water.

William walked up and sat next to him.

I have to admit that Shi Chuan is very talented.

Not only in study and business, but also in sports.

When William was in college, he was also a star player of the school team, the real deal.

But after only seven nights of practice, he could no longer defend against this brat.

He is like a sponge, no matter what environment he is in, he can always absorb everything unscrupulously.

William suddenly thought of Tang Sijia.

He could see at a glance that she was a woman who knew love and knew how to love.

I don't know what this brat will absorb in such an environment.

William took out his phone and sent a document to Shi Chuan, and then said, "Li Ge has returned to China."

Shi Chuan paused with the bottle of water, then threw it casually, and the bottle went into the trash can accurately. He took out his phone and looked at the document sent by William.

It was the authorization document for an early, less famous work of Li Ge.

"Is this the phone that Miss Tang bought for you?" William asked casually.

Shi Chuan glanced at him, did not answer, just turned off the screen, stood up and was about to leave.

"Aren't you afraid that Li Ge will be bribed by the conditions proposed by Jiang Su?" William reminded, "As far as I know, your father's love for Li Ge's works is sincere. Now Li Ge's wife is seriously ill, and the money from the publishing house alone cannot pay the high cost of surgery. If Jiang Su pays a high price to buy Li Ge's authorization letter to please your father..."

Shi Chuan stopped, turned around, and laughed after a long time: "William, guess, what is the most important thing for Li Ge?"

"Of course it's his wife's life," William said without hesitation. His parents are always romantic, but when he thought of those rumors, he hesitated again, "Or... his works?"

"Both are important," Shi Chuan said, "When I went to see Li Ge, there were a lot of burnt papers on his desk."

"He is a writer, this is normal."

"Yes," Shi Chuan nodded in agreement, "but I recognized the rubbing on the blank page next to where he wrote."

"That's a suicide note."

William was surprised.

Shi Chuan tilted his head and smiled: "Both his wife and his work are important, so he chose to end his life."

"I gave him a third choice."

He only needed to play a play with him. After the play ended, the work would not be tarnished and his wife could be saved.

*

It was eleven o'clock.

Tang Sijia sat on the sofa, looking blankly ahead. The laughter on TV seemed to be just meaningless sounds.

This was the seventh day that Shi Chuan came back so late.

In the first three days, she would ask him why he was so late, but he always avoided the question. Later, she stopped asking.

When she first mentioned "becoming a family" to Shi Chuan, she actually knew that Shi Chuan had his own life circle and social circle in the first eighteen years. Maybe one day, he got tired of living with her and left quietly.

She understood it too.

It's just that she was very lonely at that time and needed a family too much.

Now, it just confirmed her guess that she should go back to the bedroom, have a good rest, and pretend that nothing had happened.

But her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move a step.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of keys shaking outside the door, and then the door lock popped open with a "click", and the door opened.

Tang Sijia sat on the sofa and did not move.

The boy in a white shirt and black pants walked in, and was stunned when he saw her still waiting, and smiled sweetly as always: "Sister."

Tang Sijia's eyes moved slightly, nodded, and did not ask him where he was going, but just stood up: "It's late, I'll go back and rest first."

After taking two steps, he was suddenly blocked.

Tang Sijia raised his head.

"I know I have made my sister worried these days." Shi Chuan said uneasily.

Tang Sijia looked at him: "If you are tired of this kind of life, you can tell me directly..."

"I'm not!" Shi Chuan interrupted her almost immediately.

Tang Sijia did not speak.

Shi Chuan's eyelashes trembled, and he stepped forward and pulled her wrist for a long time.

Tang Sijia's hand did not move.

Shi Chuan withdrew his hand helplessly: "I just thought... my sister gave me so many gifts before, I can also give my sister a gift."

Tang Sijia was slightly stunned.

Shi Chuan took out a folder from behind and handed it to her.

Tang Sijia looked at him puzzledly and opened the folder.

—— Authorization letter for Li Ge's book "Moon".

"What is this?" Tang Sijia opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Didn't sister say that Li Ge is your muse," Shi Chuan smiled shyly, "but I don't have much ability, I can only get the authorization for an early unknown short story."

Tang Sijia stared at the document in a daze, then looked at him, "Have you been running around for this matter these few nights? But how did you get it..."

Shi Chuan pursed his lips: "Sister, do you still remember the man named William?"

Tang Sijia nodded.

"I later learned that William's relative knew Li Ge, so I asked William to introduce him to me. Li Ge's wife seemed to be in a bad condition recently, so he agreed to sell the copyright of an unknown short story."

Shi Chuan said it simply, but Tang Sijia knew that the process in between must not be that easy.

During this period, Li Ge's book became popular again on the Internet, and his information was everywhere, including the fact that his childhood sweetheart was dying.

Family is more important than works, and she can understand Li Ge's choice.

"By the way, sister," Shi Chuan remembered something, "Mr. Li Ge said that he doesn't like to meet strangers, so he entrusted a third-party lawyer to contact you."

"It's a lawyer named Lu Langzhou."

Lu Langzhou?

Tang Sijia frowned, always feeling that this name was indescribably familiar.

"Sister, are you still angry with me?" Shi Chuan took her left hand and asked carefully.

Tang Sijia looked at the boy's awkward look, and the anger accumulated in the past few days seemed to disappear in an instant. She expressed her emotions to

him seriously: "I was really angry when you came back late without saying anything, but when I learned that you did it for me, I was not angry anymore, Shi Chuan." "Just, if you leave in the future, you must tell me, okay?"

Shi Chuan raised his head, looked into her dark brown eyes, and nodded for a long time.
