36 Chapter 36

◎Should I be rewarded? ◎

The warmth in her waist was roasting Chen Jing'an, and it was hard to ignore. They were downstairs in the dormitory, and there were all students coming and going. Shen Lie was too eye-catching, and she really didn't want to be watched.

Her hand covered the back of Shen Lie's hand. The size was too obvious and she couldn't cover his: "Everyone has gifts, so don't think too much about it. I'm hungry. What should I eat for dinner?"

Chen Jing'an didn't want to be involved in this matter . Shang Duo said that she has a simple relationship with Jiang Yuda, a friendship between classmates, and the care he takes for her is also the care that a senior takes for his schoolmates.

In the past two years, he has shown no other intentions.

"What do you want to eat?" Shen Lie saw her intention to change the subject and answered lazily, "Sichuan food?"

The old matter was brought up again, and the embarrassment flashed past. Chen Jing'an pursed her lips and said, "How about Cantonese food?"

"Okay."

"Shall I go upstairs and put my things first?"

"Get in the car, I've waited long enough." Shen Lie's eyelashes were half-closed, and he looked back, speaking in a calm tone.

Chen Jing'an had no choice but to take the gift bag with him to the car, and after eating, he took it to Qianwan. The meal was a harmonious meal, every dish was to your liking. Chen Jing'an ate less than half a bowl of rice, while Shen Lie was still picking up the vegetables, telling her to eat more in a tone that sounded like a sinister pig farm owner. Gaining weight would make him more advantageous.

After returning to Qianwan to take a shower, Shen Lie held a water cup on the island on the first floor and drank water. Chen Jing'an went around to the sofa and prepared to choose a movie to watch. The new movies had a mediocre reputation and lackluster themes. She spent half the time picking and choosing. She was not selected, and finally her sight was blocked, and Shen Lie stood in front of her.

She had to look up at him.

Shen Lie lowered his head and asked, "Have you seen the fish tank?"

Chen Jing'an looked away, and the aquatic plants in the fish tank were still prosperous. She nodded: "Jisuke told me that those fish were well raised."

"He I probably didn't show you the whole picture."

"What else is there?"

Shen Lie leaned forward, held Chen Jing'an's hips, and lifted her up from the sofa, facing her with her legs against his waist. She didn't have time to react, she whispered, and he carried her to the light control position and asked her to turn off the light. She dubiously pressed the switch.

It was not completely dark as expected. There is a separate light in the fish tank. The cool white light is not obvious when the light is turned on. But after the light is turned off, it is like a small searchlight, shining on the bottom of the fish tank. The moss attached to the pebbles is like tiny The down is clearly visible, like a ray of sunlight slanting through the depths of a dense forest.

Under that ray of sunlight, the small silver-white fish swam over slowly...

Shen Lie held her in his arms and pressed her against the wall of the glass tank. The coolness seeped into his skin through the fabric of his clothes. He took advantage of his strength and freed up a hand, placing his fingertips against the wall. Point it out to her.

The world in the fish tank was silent, and Chen Jing'an was fascinated.

The kiss was without warning, Shen Lie's kisses were always like this. She didn't know when, nor whether it was violent or gentle. She was squeezed between the tank wall and the hard chest. She had no time to care about ice and heat, and her lips and teeth were pried open. Sucking and entangled, the base of the tongue is numb.

Chen Jing'an's eyelashes trembled, maybe she lost consciousness after being kissed, the tip of her soft tongue crossed the line, touched his lips in a seeming way, and then retracted in a flash of lightning.

But this one blow was enough to boost his morale, enough to make him frantic and restless. He kissed her lips passionately again, trying to catch the frightened rabbit and swallow it in one gulp.

Such a kiss would be too exhausting.

In the dim light, both of them were breathing heavily, cleverly sharing the same rhythm. Shen Lie held her chin and turned her in one direction to let her look at the fish tank.

In the light beam, all five small fish swam out and stopped as if still. Their eyes like ink spots looked at them curiously. They were unable to analyze human behavior.

Because there were witnesses, even if they were not human beings, it made Chen Jing'an feel ashamed.

The hand holding his chin gradually changed, and his fingers slid across his cheek, and finally pressed hard on his upper lip. It was soft and hot, and the wetness he caught couldn't tell whether it belonged to her or to him.

"This is also my gift to you." He said, with a bright light in his dark eyes.

Chen Jing'an looked at him and was briefly bewitched.

"Jasmine can probably be considered a gift. I don't like flowers. They are fleeting and fragile things, but you do. Whatever you like and cherish, I want to hold it in front of your eyes...Chen Jing'an, are you? Should I be rewarded? "

This is Shen Lie, he has a clear purpose in everything he does.

Chen Jing'an was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know what the reward Shen Lie was talking about, and whether she could afford it.

She asked, "What do you want?"

"Share a bedroom, a bed, and a quilt... Don't let you get used to it again. Have you done the psychological construction for too long? I said, I can't wait." Long enough."

Shen Lie pressed the corner of her lips with his thumb and raised it, it was hard to tell that it was a smile.

The room was too quiet.

Shen Lie had been calm for too long. When Chen Jing'an was almost bluffed by this illusion, he would suddenly press her neck and tell her not to be too naive. Could a carnivore really become a vegetarian?

Sooner or later this day will come.

Chen Jing'an made herself look calmer, and she said a good word.

"It's just..."

The words changed.

Shen Lie looked at her with interest, as if to see what else she could struggle with before dying.

"Can it be tomorrow? You mentioned it too suddenly. Since it's a matter of time, you don't care about this night, right?" Chen Jing'an said slowly.

"Okay."

Shen Lie agreed faster than expected. Chen Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but before she could recover, she listened to him again: "After all, there will be many days and nights in the future."

-

This night may be before freedom. On the last night, Chen Jing'an slept very carefully. In the end, she fell asleep in the middle of the night due to insomnia, causing her biological clock to fail and she woke up later than usual.

There was a faint smell of tea in the room. Chen Jing'an initially thought it was because her aunt had changed the type of laundry detergent. Until she went downstairs, the smell of tea became stronger and stronger, coming from the kitchen. She saw Shen Lie on the Zhongdaotai, using a stew pot. The pot was filled with steam. He saw her and asked her to sit down and have breakfast as usual.

"What are you cooking?" Chen Jing'an asked.

"Tea eggs."

Chen Jing'an didn't think it was anything when he walked over. When he pulled out his chair and sat down, he caught a glimpse of the familiar bag on the kitchen table and reacted: "Is that the tea given by the senior?"

Senior.

Her name is Senior.

Shen Lie paused for a moment, gently stirring the eggs that had been boiled with beautiful textures in the pot, and said calmly, with a smile on his lips: "The tea is indeed good, and it is perfect for boiling tea eggs. Since it is you...a gift from my senior Yes, eat two more today."

You paused for a long time, and the senior said the words very clearly.

"..." Chen Jing'an was silent for a while.

"Did you use all of them to boil tea eggs?"

"Yes, thirty. If there are less tea leaves, the taste will be weak."

"Shen Lie!"

"Yes."

When the cooking time was almost enough, Shen Lie slowly turned off the heat. There was no sound of gurgling water boiling, and the living room suddenly became quiet. He stopped and looked at her, waiting for her next sentence.

"You can't do this to someone else's gift to me."

"Not a senior?"

Is this the point?

Chen Jing'an took a deep breath: "What I mean is, no matter who gave it to you, you can't dispose of it without asking."

Thousands of yuan of things were boiled into a pot of tea eggs by him.

"Sorry, I'll give you a new one."

"No need."

Shen Lie lowered his head, picked up an egg and laughed silently, pulling his lips: "Oh, I forgot, because it was given by the senior, and I am not a senior."

" ..."

Shen Lie picked up the pieces one by one, and the delicate little plate couldn't hold much. After filling it, he asked: "How many do you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat." Chen Jing'an felt embarrassed. Full of anger.

"How about that? The senior carefully selected, um, tea leaves. If you don't eat them, wouldn't it be a waste of the other party's efforts." As he spoke, Shen Lie was good at making his own decisions, "Two are enough, and you shouldn't eat more in a day."

"You know you still cook so much?" Thirty of them, how long will it take to eat them?

"It's a waste to only boil so many tea leaves for five." Shen Lie came over, put down the porcelain white plate, put his two fingers together, and pushed it in front of her. The eggs had been lightly beaten, and the lines on the eggshells were clear and beautiful.

Chen Jing'an looked helpless: "Shen Lie, you are being unreasonable. You have never even interacted with him. You may not have even seen his face clearly. What are you doing to target him?"

"Targeted?"

Shen Lie repeated playfully. Two words, raised his eyebrows, feeling fresh. He held the tabletop with his slender fingers and said calmly: "I don't think I'm targeting him. I just hate stupid people."

What was delivered today was tea, and tomorrow, it will be delivered It should be a love letter.

How could he not understand men? He really had nothing nice to say about such a fool with unrealistic illusions.

"..."

There was no point in calling the other party a fool.

Chen Jing'an had a headache and was too lazy to argue. She had classes in the morning and planned to go to school early after eating. She ate one tea egg and Shen Lie peeled it for her. She poked it with chopsticks and ate it anyway.

After eating and leaving, Shen Lie stopped her and said in a calm tone: "You said something wrong. I can see his face clearly."

How could he not see clearly.

Those eyes almost fell off her body.

The pot of tea eggs ended up in Ji Hong's hands as usual. He was holding a bag of tea eggs with an expression even more confused than when he got a basket of jasmine flowers.

Who can tell him this is the case again? Why would the boss make tea eggs on a whim?

The most important thing is that he couldn't finish eating so much, so he finally went to the company to share it with his colleagues. A colleague who knew only a little about some customs had a surprised smile on his face and said congratulations to him for having a son.

Ji Hong glanced sideways and said, "I don't even have a girlfriend. How could a noble son come from the two of us?"

"I want to, but I can't have a boy either."

"Go, go, go."

Ji Hong Grab the eggs.

—It

is not difficult to find one, especially after knowing his school and appearance, things become relatively simple. Jiang Yuda was notified by the school to meet a distinguished guest from a sponsored school. Although he felt confused, he still went to the department office.

Before entering, the teacher patted him on the shoulder and asked him to speak carefully.

Jiang Yuda smiled: "Don't worry, don't you still know what my personality is?"

Pushing the door open, there was only one person in the office. He was wearing a suit, with his legs crossed, leaning against the sofa leisurely, and his eyes met with his, His thin lips twitched: "Sit down."

It seemed that this was his place.

Jiang Yuda didn't know the other person, so he could only put on a friendly smile and sit down on the sofa opposite. There was only a simple wooden square coffee table between them.

A pot of green plants and a glass of water are gone.

"Jiang Yuda?"

"Yes, you can just call me Xiao Jiang." Jiang Yuda asked, "I just don't know how to call you sir."

"Shen."

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

Jiang Yuda rubbed his hands unconsciously. He was embarrassed. Although the other person looked modest and gentle, even smiling gently, he always felt that the pressure was too strong, and he almost didn't dare to breathe loudly.

He didn't know why the other party was looking for him or what the reason was. In his circle, he didn't know anyone with this identity.

Shen Lie handed over the glass of water in front of him: "I didn't drink it. It seems that you need it more than me."

"Thank you."

Jiang Yuda held the glass. He did feel his mouth was dry and drank half of the glass unknowingly.

After he put down the cup, Shen Lie spoke slowly. He was talking about Jiang Yuda's situation. When did he learn the musical instrument? He scored first in the high school art test, entered university, and joined the student union. His resume was clean and beautiful, and he was among the outstanding students in the school. Just like that, Jiang Yuda was embarrassed, but when the words changed, Shen Lie mentioned his place of residence, parents, relatives, and place of employment... everything was clear.

Jiang Yuda's throat was tight and he didn't know what he meant.

"Mr. Shen, what do you mean?"

"Don't be nervous. I have no other intention. I just want to remind you of something."

"What is it?" Jiang Yuda made a swallowing motion.

Shen Lie raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "You are at the right age to fall in love. As good as you are, there should be many girls around you."

Jiang Yuda was even more confused. He said so many things but he didn't care about his relationship status.

"I think you know that there are some people you can touch, but there are some people you can never touch in your life. You were not qualified before, and you are the same now."

That's all.

Shen Lie put down his legs, stood up, and buttoned his suit: "Classmate Jiang, you are a smart man. I hope I don't have to see you in the future."

"It's nice to see you."

He extended his hand in a friendly way.

Jiang Yuda instantly thought of who it was. How could he not think of it? It was a secret that he had never revealed to outsiders in college. He stiffly stretched out his hand.

The other party only touched them symbolically.

Jiang Yuda didn't react until the person left.

The school leader came back and asked them what they were talking about. Jiang Yuda talked nonsense, saying that the other party was very interested in folk music and wanted to cooperate with students in the school. Then he asked about his identity.

The school leader didn't say it directly, he just typed two words on the search engine, and the page jumped. Jiang Yuda saw the words on the page clearly, as if he was nailed to the spot.

Compared with him, I am just an ant that can be easily twisted to death.

A few days later, Chen Jing'an still remembered the dinner appointment with Jiang Yuda, so she contacted him on WeChat and asked when he would be free. She wanted to treat him to dinner.

The message was not sent, and a red mark appeared in front of the message.

Then there is a line of small red text for a system reminder.

Jiang Yuda deleted her?

Chen Jing'an went to see it and found it strange. He thought it was a mistake and confirmed again that the other party was Jiang Yuda. He sent a message again, but it was still rejected.

She had no choice but to call, but her phone number was blocked.

Why?

Chen Jing'an remembered that the two of them got along well a few days ago. He said that the video was very effective, with high traffic and topicality. He advised her to apply for a personal account and post her exercises or performances.

This time, it was like a blow to the head, and she didn't even know why.

The only thing Chen Jing'an could think of that might be relevant was Shen Lie on the other side of the sofa. She looked at him. His eyes were on the TV screen. Sensing his gaze, he turned his head and asked her if there was anything wrong?

She pursed her lower lip and did not ask directly: "I have a friend who was deleted as a friend by a male friend she had been hanging out with for a long time. Why do you think it was because of that?"

Chen Jing'an followed him closely, trying to see from his subtle expression. Something happened, but nothing happened. Shen Lie lowered his eyes and seemed to be really thinking about it.

After a while, he replied: "Maybe it's because he has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend wants him to keep a distance from other women."

"Really?"

Chen Jing'an didn't hear Jiang Yuda mention that he was in love.

Shen Lie asked, "What I'm more concerned about is, is this friend you?"

"...Yeah." Chen Jing'an knew she couldn't hide it from him.

Shen Lie understood and asked gently again: "Is it your senior?"

"...Hmm."

"Since he is a senior and in the same school, you can go to him in person and ask why." Shen Lie took the remote control beside him , the TV was turned off.

Chen Jing'an still looked into his eyes.

You want to see the slightest trace of lying, not even a trace.

But Shen Lie always looked calm and natural, as if he knew nothing about the matter, and even suggested that she go and confront Jiang Yuda face to face. She was a little confused and reflected on whether she was biased because of Shen Lie's previous actions.

In a trance, Shen Lie held Chen Jing'an's waist and pulled her closer to him.

Chen Jing'an was stunned.

"So can you end talking about other men with me? Now, what I'm more concerned about is whether you are ready to sleep with me tonight."

After that day, Chen Jing'an has been living on campus, which doesn't count. To escape, she has evening classes and early morning classes the next day, so it is not suitable to live in Qianwan.

Today is the first night they will be together.
