Chapter 52 052 Give me a chance.

Shi Chuan's expression was still dazed until he entered Tang Sijia's room and smelled the familiar faint fragrance.

When he came to his senses, he had forgotten how he followed Tang Sijia into the elevator and how he stepped into her "territory" step by step.

But she did let him in.

She kept him for dinner.

The sound of cutting vegetables came faintly from the kitchen, and Shi Chuan's eyes finally focused.

He walked a few steps to the kitchen, looking at the figure of a woman standing under the warm yellow light and quietly processing ingredients, and he had an urge to cry.

"It may take a while." Tang Sijia heard the movement at the door and said with her head tilted.

Shi Chuan said "hmm" and walked forward slowly: "I'll do it."

"It's okay, your wrist hasn't healed yet..."

"I used to do it before," Shi Chuan pursed his lips. When they were together, if he was idle, he would fall into the panic of "she doesn't need him at all", "...Can you temporarily act as my left hand?"

Tang Sijia looked at his stubborn expression, paused, and finally made way for the seat beside him.

Shi Chuan smiled softly and walked to her side. Half a person's distance away, he seemed to be able to feel the temperature of her body slowly coming over, warming up his cold body.

"Can you help me get the ginger?" Shi Chuan asked softly.

Tang Sijia handed the ginger to him.

Shi Chuan took it and was about to cut it into ginger shreds. Perhaps because his left hand couldn't use force, he frowned obscurely when fixing the ginger. Just as he was about to continue cutting despite the pain, a white and slender finger stretched out from the side and helped him fix the ginger.

Shi Chuan was stunned and turned his head suddenly.

Tang Sijia didn't look at him, but just looked at the ginger quietly: "You'd better not use too much force with your left hand."

"Okay." Shi Chuan agreed.

Dinner finally made a portion of hot and sour potato shreds, a portion of cabbage, and the staple food was brown rice.

Shi Chuan was still not satisfied and wanted to make another portion of Tang Sijia's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, but was rejected by Tang Sijia with "enough food".

This was the first time they had dinner together in her home in peace.

Shi Chuan sat at the dining table, looking at the food in front of him and the woman opposite him, he suddenly understood the person who prayed before the meal.

At this moment, he really wanted to pray to God, how nice it would be to freeze time at this moment.

"Sister..." Shi Chuan was about to say something, but swallowed it back after uttering a word. He pursed his lips and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of potato shreds for Tang Sijia. "You liked it the most before, and later you said it would be better if it was a little more sour. Can you try it?"

Tang Sijia glanced at him quickly, avoided his eyes again, and said "hmm", paused and said, "You can continue to call me 'sister'."

Shi Chuan's eyes lit up, but soon returned to darkness: "But you don't like people younger than you, right?"

He thought carefully, after him, whether it was Lu Langzhou or Song Xiuren, they were older than her.

It seemed that he was just an accident in her life.

Tang Sijia was silent for a while: "But you are indeed younger than me," and before he could speak, she continued, "I never said that I like older or younger people."

Shi Chuan stared at her blankly, and a smile gradually curved at the corner of his lips: "Sister." His voice was low and hoarse, and he called her softly.

Tang Sijia paused in picking up the food, without looking at him or responding.

The two of them ate very quietly, with only the sound of the bowls and chopsticks gently colliding.

Shi Chuan's mood gradually changed from the initial excitement and joy to a strong sense of uneasiness.

During the whole dinner, she did not look at him once. He anxiously searched for the ignored answer in himself, and finally blamed it on the only change in the color of his pupils.

"Is it that you don't want to see blue eyes?" Shi Chuan broke the silence softly, "Or do you prefer black pupils?"

Tang Sijia looked up in confusion, and when she realized what he said, she was a little stunned.

She was just a little upset and didn't know how to deal with what was happening in front of her.

Hearing that Shi Chuan had found a reason for her, she lowered her head and responded vaguely.

Shi Chuan was happy because she was open with him about her preferences for the first time. He thought seriously and said, "How about I go for an artificial iris implant? This way, they will all be black in the future."

Tang Sijia's hands froze while eating, and she looked up and saw Shi Chuan's excited and sincere eyes at a glance.

It seemed that as long as she nodded, he would arrange the operation immediately.

"You don't need to have surgery," Tang Sijia frowned, "and you don't need to change the color of your pupils for me."

Shi Chuan said anxiously: "But you like..."

"I hope you can cheer up, just like before," Tang Sijia interrupted him, this time looking back into his eyes, "Shi Chuan, compared to those appearances, I don't like people who give up on themselves, which makes me feel that I indirectly caused your depression."

Shi Chuan's lips moved, and after a long time, as if he had mustered all his courage, he whispered: "If I cheer up, will you give me a chance to love you?"

Tang Sijia suddenly fell silent.

Shi Chuan's voice was rarely confused: "I know you don't like me now, I just want a chance to stay with you, just like we were in that shabby rental house before..." At this point, he suddenly remembered that she didn't like the past, and his face turned pale, "... Don't think of me as the despicable me before, and don't think of me as a boy who is still wet behind the ears, but a man who can accompany you and love you normally..."

Tang Sijia's heart was more complicated than ever.

"I won't keep delaying you and make you feel guilty because of me," Shi Chuan added hurriedly when she saw that she didn't speak, "I didn't plan to let you know the last time. I just thought you went abroad with Song Xiuren. This time, if you really can't have any feelings for me, I can swear that when you say it's over, I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

Tang Sijia's eyelashes moved, and she looked at him obscurely, her thoughts turning over and over.

After a long time, she nodded gently.

Shi Chuan's pupils almost immediately dilated, and he looked at her in disbelief: "You agreed?"

"Yeah." When Tang Sijia said this, she avoided his sight again and pretended to look at the time, "It's almost ten o'clock, you should go back to the hospital first."

"Okay." Shi Chuan nodded in response, stood up, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked carefully, "Will you visit me in the hospital?"

Tang Sijia hesitated for a few seconds and agreed, adding: "If you are not busy at work."

Just this sentence was enough to satisfy Shi Chuan's heart.

When sending Shi Chuan away, the two walked into the elevator one after the other. Their figures were reflected in the mirror, with a distance of one person between them.

Shi Chuan approached her without leaving any trace.

Tang Sijia's eyes paused, without moving.

Shi Chuan smiled gently.

The elevator door opened, and Shi Chuan followed Tang Sijia out. Just then, a few residents who were walking their dogs walked into the elevator, and their eyes could not help but stay on the face of the overly good-looking boy for a few seconds.

Shi Chuan appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but wonder excitedly in his heart, in the eyes of those people, are he and Tang Sijia a couple? After all, today they are more peaceful than ever before.

Once such a thought emerges, it is difficult to suppress it. Shi Chuan looked at the figure of the woman in front of him with longing, until he walked out of the corridor, and there were some notices of the building and the community posted on the bulletin board on the side.

Shi Chuan only glanced at it, and just as he was about to retract his gaze, his eyes were fixed on the upper right corner.

There was a notice of a house for sale, and the house number for sale was 1302.

This is a two-family house type, and Tang Sijia's floor is exactly the thirteenth floor.

Tang Sijia noticed that Shi Chuan had stopped, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him. Following his line of sight, he was also stunned when he saw the notice.

"I know you don't want to see me every day like before, but..." Shi Chuan asked nervously, "Can I live across from you?"

Tang Sijia retracted his gaze: "The house belongs to the owner. If you want to buy it, you don't need to ask for my consent."

Shi Chuan heard this and curled his lips.

The driver quickly parked the car at the gate of the community. Tang Sijia watched the car leave. On the way back, she felt confused.

She didn't know whether she was right or wrong to do this.

When Shi Chuan returned to the hospital, exactly one hour had passed.

The corridor outside the ward was empty. In the ward, only William was sitting on the sofa processing documents.

Hearing the door open, William just looked up and glanced at him: "You're back." Then he continued to lower his head to work.

Shi Chuan sat beside the bed, still feeling like he was in a wonderful dream. At this moment, he suddenly had the idea of ​​talking about something: "You don't want to ask me where I went?"

"Where else can I go?" William sneered, "You're like a dog, you went over when you smelled Miss Tang."

Shi Chuan, who was compared to a dog, was not angry at all, and even curled his lips: "You're right."

William finally threw the documents aside, folded his arms and looked at him: "Don't say I didn't remind you, your father knows all these things about you."

"Well," Shi Chuan responded uninterestedly, with rare joy between his eyebrows, "William, she promised me."

"Who? What did she promise you?"

"Tang Sijia," Shi Chuan thought of what happened just now, and lowered his long eyelashes shyly, "She promised me to stay with her, treat me as a man, and give me a chance to love her."

William frowned. He still remembered the scene outside the ward that day when Tang Sijia said calmly, "When she gets close to him, the alarm bells in her body will ring like crazy."

"Are you sure Miss Tang really agreed to you?" William asked suspiciously, "Or are you crazy and hallucinating? Miss Tang can give you another chance?"

At this point, William couldn't help but frown and stared at him questioningly.

It's not impossible.

Shi Chuan saw that William's eyebrows were no longer happy, and his expression gradually became cautious: "She is not interested in people with blonde hair and blue eyes."

"What?" William was puzzled.

"She can't even accept blue pupils, let alone you..." Shi Chuan glanced at him up and down, "All-round foreign products."

William: "..."

He gradually reacted and laughed angrily: "Do you think the whole world is your rival?"

Shi Chuan heard the "whole world" in William's mouth, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

He resented that the whole world was too big and there were too many men.

Just thinking of her being watched by other men, her consciousness seemed to fall into a weird emotion of pain and anxiety.

"Forget it," William sighed, "Miss Tang has also made a great contribution to turning you from a dog into a human."

"What are your plans next?"

Shi Chuan said seriously: "Work hard."

"What?" William doubted his ears.

"Work hard, just like her," Shi Chuan smiled unconsciously, "She will be happy when she comes."

"Will Miss Tang come to visit you?" William questioned.

"Yeah."

However, in the next seven or eight days, the door of the ward was opened and closed, visitors came and went, but the expected figure never appeared.

He sent her a text message, and she only said that she was busy and asked him to work hard.

The only thing that accompanied him was the bouquet of carnations in the vase that had already withered.

*

These days, Tang Sijia has been busy with the auditions for the new project and has never found time to go to the hospital.

When she finally remembered, it was almost the day when Shi Chuan would be discharged from the hospital as mentioned in the text message. Let's go and see him before he is discharged. Tang Sijia thought. That day, she did not work overtime. She wanted to go home to change her clothes and shoes before going to the hospital. Unexpectedly, when she walked to the door of her house, the door opposite was opened from the inside. 

"Miss Tang." An unsurprising voice sounded. 

Tang Sijia turned her head in surprise. William was standing outside the opposite door, smiling at her: "Long time no see." 

"Long time no see." Tang Sijia nodded and looked behind him. 

William considerately made way: "I'm here to help Shi Chuan move..." 

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Shi Chuan's figure appeared at the door. 

"Sister." He called softly while walking towards her, staring at her intently. 

"Didn't you say in the text message that you would be discharged the day after tomorrow?" Tang Sijia asked in confusion. 

"I'm fine now, so I was discharged early." Shi Chuan said harmlessly. 

Behind him, William thought of someone who had a fever from working some time ago, and who was looking forward to it like the wife-watching stone in the hospital every day, and who would have come long ago if he hadn't stopped him, and sneered. 

Shi Chuan glanced at William slightly, blocking his sight of Tang Sijia without leaving a trace. He turned around, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared, leaving only calmness and vigilance: 

"William, didn't the company have a meeting just now that required you to attend?"
