Chapter 28 Stop dreaming She is too powerful, he doesn't...

New towel, new toothbrush, a man is at the door.

Stunned, dazed, Li Su, Xu Shen, both were frightened.

"Who is it?" There was a faint tremor in the tone, and under the relaxed tone, the man subconsciously avoided and moved away.

Xu Shen leaned back, farther away from the camera, not daring to touch, but not giving up. He asked again more seriously: "Who is it?"

Who? Or, Xu Shen wanted to know why? Why would a completely stranger say such caring and ambiguous words to Li Su? What is her relationship with him?

The inexplicable guilt made Li Su's lips pale instantly.

Facing Xu Shen's question, she was inexplicably afraid for a while, followed by discouragement, helplessness, and complete indifference after sealing her heart hard.

I don't want to explain. About everything tonight.

She was unwilling to argue and fell into a vicious circle of self-examination and analysis.

What was there to talk about? It was just a trade-off of life when you were trapped. If you fall, grab someone's hand and get up, it's that simple. Yes. That's right.

Li Su convinced herself and comforted herself. She raised her fingertips and decisively hung up the phone. She didn't admit that this was an escape, and she didn't admit that she was a coward.

As if she was stuck in a dead end, she had a quick wit and strangely grasped the right logic: let Xu Shen think whatever he wants. If she really explains, the situation may not be easier to handle than not explaining.

Yes. Yangcheng is so far away. But she won't go with Xu Shen. She doesn't want Xu Shen to accommodate her.

So, it doesn't matter if she doesn't explain. After all, Li Su can't give Xu Shen the answer he really wants.

Li Su thought numbly in her heart: Maybe, maybe, it might be a good thing to make the best of a bad situation.

Xu Shen shouldn't have been so close to her. He came so hotly to her, caring about her and caring about her. It was as if that incident had never happened, and they had always been on good terms. What kind of talk is this?

"Buzz--"

vibrate, vibrate. The phone rang again.

Li Su raised his eyes, saw the call clearly, and simply hung up.

"Buzz--"

vibrate, vibrate. His attitude was very certain.

Li Su sneered and refused more stubbornly than him.

"Buzz--" The video call kept coming again and again, and Li Su hung up mercilessly again and again. He hung up three times, maybe five times. Li Su couldn't help it, long-pressed the side button, and turned off the phone decisively . 

Be quiet. But suddenly it became quiet, and I seemed to hear screams and cries in my ears again. That was the shadow in my memory. 

Trying not to think about the past that was so secretive, Li Su pressed his ears and slowly closed his eyes. 

But he did not succeed in escaping, but the experience of tonight came up strongly in an instant. 

Why do women make things difficult for women? Zheng Ting's wife is a psychopath! 

There is a knife hanging over the head of the word "lust", and Liu Jia, who was occupied by the small head, will sooner or later suffer retribution! 

The computer worth 7,000 yuan was stolen right after it was unpacked. I wish the thief will never leave the village in the city again! 

The house was turned upside down. I wanted to escape but I had to protect the scene and wait for the police. Damn it! 

Deep in my heart, there was nothing that was not worth cursing! But I couldn't open my mouth and didn't want to complain. So the emotions piled up, making Li Su particularly tired. 

The taste of sour oranges that were slowly peeled, the bitter tip of the tongue when sick, and the sketch of fate were all kinds of suffering. 

Li Su took a deep breath. 

It was hard to tell whether it was the cold wind at night that had marinated into her body, or the running all the way that accumulated into lactic acid. The taste in her body made Li Su feel uncomfortable and relaxed for a while. 

She looked at one place with empty eyes. 

"Bang——" The dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came in dimly from under the door in the night. 

Noticing the slight movement outside the door, Li Su looked over vigilantly, remembering that Qi Ying was also involved in this farce. 

Her legs were numb and cold. Li Su hammered them and stood up by holding onto the wall. When the force slowly passed, she walked to the door uncertainly. 

With her foot against the back of the door, Li Su unlocked the door and opened a narrow gap. She tilted her head and looked out. 

Qi Ying was outside. He even brought her a box of mineral water and placed it at the door. There were also new toiletries he brought. He put them in a portable woven bamboo basket and was about to hang them on her door. 

The two looked at each other. Li Su was surprised and Qi Ying was nervous for a moment. 

"I... uh... I don't mean anything else." Qi Ying hung the things up and stepped back a few steps until his shadow moved away from Li Su. 

He looked at Li Su's face and didn't dare to imagine the body she was hiding behind the door. It would have been fine, but her caution made it unclear. He said stiffly, "Go to bed early." 

Qi Ying turned around and was about to leave after saying that. His mind was full of fantasies that disrupted his pace. He walked two steps with his hands and feet together, and after discovering it, he hugged his arms in fear and dullness. 

Crazy. Qi Ying felt that he was very weird. It can be said that he was completely confused and puzzling. 

"Qi Ying--" Li Su called him. 

"Ah?" Qi Ying didn't even dare to turn his head and almost fell. 

He was stunned for a while, and forced to think about all the girlfriends he had had, and then he was more confident. 

Turning his head, he looked at Li Su steadily, and didn't go closer. He asked her from a distance: "What's wrong? Tell me." 

"Nothing," Li Su smiled naively, as cute as a white dough. She asked: "I want to take a day off tomorrow and report to your company the day after tomorrow. Is that okay?" 

"Don't go back to the rental house alone." Qi Ying's voice followed closely behind her. He was a little afraid of Li Su's tossing. His brows were twisted into a ball. He emphasized: "I will go with you after work."
"I will definitely wait for you. I will never show off my ability in this matter." Li Su answered quickly. Her eyes hesitated for a moment, and as if she had made a temporary decision, she said, "I have some personal matters to deal with."

Qi Ying looked at her and said nothing. His silence was even more difficult to interpret. He knew.

Li Su was still smiling, with a good temper of "not scolding when pushed, not crying when hit". She pretended to be confused, and as if she was afraid that Qi Ying didn't understand, she repeated word by word: "Private matters."

The boundaries she deliberately drew made Qi Ying restrain himself a lot. He thought about it quickly and suddenly found that this was better.

He hadn't had time to say hello to the company to see how to arrange Li Su most appropriately. He hadn't had time to clean up upstairs and tell his parents. It was indeed more convenient to deal with Li Su's absence.

"Go." Qi Ying's face was gentle, and he said with a smile: "You do yours, I do mine, and we'll meet again when the time comes."

Li Su looked at him quietly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little shallow, revealing a bit of understanding. She opened the door a little, revealing half of her graceful body. She

took down the basket and weighed this gentle and not too strong show of goodwill. This pulling of wanting to refuse but also to welcome made it more obvious.

Across this not-so-close distance, she looked at Qi Ying again, a deep and long look.

The coldness in her eyes and the strange smile seemed to push her away silently.

She spoke again, a little harsh and a little sharp, which was very different from the warmth she had maintained for a long time.

She said: "Qi Ying, let's not think too much. You, too, should have fewer spring dreams."

-

Qi Ying was almost top-heavy in his bedroom.

When he sat back on the bed, it was as if he was sitting on a cloud, light and unreal.

He was stunned by Li Su's bluntness.

He didn't expect that such a gentle person like Li Su could say such shocking words. She knew it very well. Her attitude was clear.

He also didn't expect that in the turbid river of the entertainment industry, she would be the little stone lying at the bottom of the river, refusing to go along with the flow and insisting on being innocent.

Alas, they are all adults, and if they were smarter, he should be in her bed now.

He didn't mean to take advantage of the situation, but... food and sex are human nature, isn't this just letting things take their course? Should he pretend to be pure?

It would be great if Li Su was as obedient as she looked. But if she really gave in, it would be meaningless.

Qi Ying's lips curled up slightly, he fell on the bed, sank into the soft darkness, looked at the ceiling, he understood why so many men were fooled by her.

She was too powerful, he was no match for her at all.

Not necessarily. Qi Ying suddenly had an idea: he could follow her tomorrow and see what she did.

No, no. If he was caught by Li Su, his fate would be miserable. Forget it.

What on earth was in her mind?

Qi Ying flipped through Li Su's circle of friends on his phone and read them one by one.

Work information, life status, Li Su's dynamics, many people in the circle liked it.

Qi Ying's brows twisted together little by little. He saw a very important person, liking and commenting on every one of Li Su's Moments.

...

Xu Shen's comments were very strange. It was a moment that was difficult for others to understand. No one could solve these mysteries, and no one knew its meaning.

Is it that Xu Shen? Impossible. Maybe they just have the same name. Qi Ying was not sure. In his impression, at least in recent years, he had not seen Xu Shen reply to anyone's Moments.

Qi Ying felt a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment, but still clicked on Xu Shen's name and turned to his business card.

The avatar was a basketball, and the background of the Moments was a plain white. It was really that Xu Shen. Younger and more talented than him, he had grown rapidly over the years and became a mountain that many people looked up to.

Awesome. Qi Ying's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled a little ironically.

He couldn't tell how he felt, like an overturned seasoning plate, mixed with all kinds of emotions.

Those abrupt moments became worth pondering. At least Qi Ying understood part of Xu Shen's meaning: I'm watching. Don't bully her, don't hurt her.

Xu Shen's care and cherishment for Li Su, his emphasis, and the special marks he deliberately left were all wings, paranoid protection. Regardless of whether Li Su appreciated it or not.

Awesome. Qi Ying began to wonder how Li Su hooked up with Xu Shen.

Qi Ying, looking for clues in Xu Shen's circle of friends, scrolled down.

Strange. 17 minutes ago, Xu Shen had just posted two circle of friends. They were posted one after another.

One was a childish message that seemed to be blurted out in a childhood quarrel:

I hate you.

The other was a concession that was inexplicably regretful, a silent harassment, and a very innocent message:

I'll wait for you.

Is this still Xu Shen? Thinking of his delicate face with clear edges and corners like a sculpture, thinking of his sharp eyes like the cold north wind, Qi Ying still felt a little unbelievable.

The account was stolen? Late at night, like a sick person.

Do you think you are the male protagonist in a high school campus novel? Do you have to add these crappy pictures? So disgusting, so sick.

Qi Ying hesitated to say something, Qi Ying refused to admit: Qi Ying had a new guess about Li Su's private affairs tomorrow.

Fuck the heartbeat.
