72 Chapter 72

◎I want to hear that you like me very much◎

The room suddenly became quiet.

Even Chen Jing'an found it incredible to say the word "like" like that.

She knew that her personality was too introverted and boring, and she never mentioned many things to others. However, she even hid her love for Shen Lie from herself.

Chen Jing'an never thought deeply about this issue.

Like it?

When did she start, why, and what did she like about him? Even when she was alone in the dead of night, she deliberately avoided him.

But now, Chen Jing'an said it directly, her heart began to beat slowly, and she pinched her fingers, feeling embarrassed.

Shen Lie looked at her and suddenly fell silent. The long eyelashes under his eyebrows were motionless. He didn't speak or even responded a little.

Chen Jing'an had the illusion that she didn't say anything just now.

There was a knock on the private room door, Ji Hong's voice appeared outside the door, and there was a call.

"Wait a minute."

Shen Lie squeezed her hand and let go. He moved very quickly. Before Chen Jing'an could react, he had already stood up, opened the door, and reached for the phone.

Ji Hong saw Chen Jing'an inside, nodded and greeted her.

Chen Jing'an responded.

She bit her lip in confusion, must she answer the phone now?

Shen Lie actually accepted it.

The call was from Su Nianshen. Yi Qiu must have called him before walking out.

"Big...Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that Yi Qiu would go to see Miss Chen. She probably heard about it from somewhere and wanted to make friends with her on a whim." Su Nianshen sounded anxious, "Yi Qiu also I didn't know what happened before, and I never thought it would make you unhappy."

"If it makes Ms. Chen feel uncomfortable, I can apologize to Ms. Chen."

"It's my fault. I didn't take care of my fiancée."

"..."

When Su Nianshen first brought him back, everything he was thinking was written on his face. He suffered several losses and got some advice from Shen Jingchen. Gradually, he became able to express his emotions and anger without expressing them, but his academic skills were average. , the fake posture reeks of pretentiousness.

Shen Lie's face was calm, and he didn't say a word even though he said a lot of things.

Chen Jing'an thought it was something related to work. She put her arms on the desk and looked at him with her chin in her hands. Her expression gradually became serious, thinking that something had gone wrong after taking so long.

Shen Lie turned around and saw her focused gaze. The light in the room seemed to soften the lines of her face.

What did she just say?

Say you like him.

I've liked him for a long time.

Su Nianshen didn't get a response, so he glanced at the screen again without hanging up, and started writing some low-key stories, such as Yi Qiu was his fiancée, and he should bear the responsibility for what she did wrong.

"Fiancée?"

After a while, there was a voice from the other side.

Su Nianshen was stunned for two seconds, not knowing what this meant.

Shen Lie's voice was calm and indifferent: "There is no such thing as a fiancée."

Su Nian's throat tightened. When he was about to say something, the call had been hung up. He was holding the phone and thinking about what Shen Lie's two sentences meant. He didn't know how many minutes it had taken. Only then did he react, his expression suddenly changed.

Very simple.

His marriage to the Yi family just ended.

Chen Jing'an only heard two sentences from Shen Lie, including the word "fiancée".

She immediately understood that the call was probably from Su Nianshen, saying something she didn't know. She vaguely heard these two sentences, but she didn't know what they meant, and she didn't have time to think about it. There was another thing lingering in her mind at the moment.

Chen Jing'an was still waiting for Shen Lie's response.

Shen Lie looked at her and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

"?"

Just like that, no reaction at all?

Chen Jing'an frowned, feeling something stuck in her chest. She had no choice but to purse her lips and get up with some resignation.

The car is parked downstairs.

Ji Hong had already opened the car door in advance. When she got in and closed the door, he turned to the passenger seat.

Because Shen Lie had canceled some schedules at night, Ji Hong started talking about work. Shen Lie didn't say much, just replied that he knew it and left it there. For the rest of the journey, no one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet.

Chen Jing'an restlessly put her fingers to her lips and bit them unconsciously. She still didn't quite understand why Shen Lieneng didn't react at all when she said she liked her.

There were other people in the car.

Even if Shen Lie wanted to say something now, she would be too embarrassed to listen.

After enduring it all the way, Shen Lie suddenly asked the driver to pull over.

Chen Jing'an opened his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat at the slightest movement.

She was familiar with this place, and it took less than three minutes to drive to the house she rented.

"What's wrong, Mr. Shen?"

the driver stopped the car and asked.

Shen Lie said: "I have something to buy."

Next to it was a convenience store with a bright sign saying it was open 24 hours a day.

"I'll go too."

Chen Jing'an suddenly said, noticing several eyes in the car, she pursed her lower lip without any trace: "I also have something to buy."

The two people got out of the car one after the other.

Before she even took a step, Shen Lie held her hand calmly.

Chen Jing'an couldn't bear it anymore, and pulled his hand without looking at him. Her tone was unnatural: "Shen Lie, have you forgotten something?"

"What?" Shen Lie asked.

"..."

Chen Jing'an bit her lip and endured it for a long time, and finally asked awkwardly: "I, I said I like you, didn't you have any reaction?"

After saying that, he felt ashamed again.

It's like asking for humiliation.

When these words were spoken, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the convenience store, and Shen Lie paused in raising his legs.

"Yes."

"What?" Chen Jing'an finally had the courage to look at him.

The convenience store door opens.

She had been taken to the cashier by him, and then stopped.

Shen Lie took a box from the cashier and showed it to her: "That's why I came to buy this."

His tone was still a little helpless.

"We've run out of what we have at home."

Chen Jing'an looked at it carefully. When he saw the packaging box, he immediately realized what he was buying. His face was instantly red. The cashier looked at them, lowering his head as if to suppress a smile, subconsciously She wanted to turn around and run away, she really couldn't afford to lose this person, but her hand was held tightly by Shen Lie, and she was pinned to the spot, buying a small umbrella with him in front of a stranger.

Quite a big box.

Dozens of those.

Chen Jing'an's face turned red and she pursed her lips tightly, not wanting to say another word.

If she knew he was here to buy this, she would definitely not get out of the car!

The cashier glanced at the two people with his peripheral vision. One had a normal expression, no different from that of someone buying a box of chewing gum. The other had a face as red as a tomato. If possible, he would rather find a crack in the ground to hide in. Both of them had long hair. It has to be good-looking, pleasing to the eye, and delicious no matter how you look at it.

Shen Lie scanned the QR code to pay.

Chen Jing'an heard the beeping sound and couldn't wait to pull him out. He didn't even respond to the cashier's "Your receipt".

If possible, she hoped that time could be reversed.

She wouldn't follow him out of the car, and she wouldn't be hot-headed and tell Shen Lie that she liked him.

After taking a few steps, Shen Lie grabbed Chen Jing'an.

Chen Jing'an didn't even want to look back at him, but she couldn't shake her hands away and couldn't move. Shen Lie put a little more force and she was pulled over. Before she could stand still, he put his hands on her waist, facing each other. Standing, he looked at her, his eyes widened slightly.

"Aren't you asking me for my reaction?"

"I don't want to ask anymore."

Chen Jing'an's voice was muffled. She was still in the mood now. What she was thinking about was whether she went to the convenience store to buy a small umbrella or bought it with Shen Lie. of.

It felt like the sky was falling, as if everyone would know that when she went to work tomorrow, she, Chen Jing'an, bought a small umbrella with a man so blatantly, as if to tell everyone that, yes, she had sex/life.

"I'm very happy." Shen Lie grabbed her waist, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the tip of her nose.

His voice is so deep.

She was so upset that she was so confused at the moment. He simply said "I'm very happy" and was able to bring order to the chaos easily. Her heart suddenly calmed down and even skipped a beat.

Shen Lie's expression was more serious than ever before: "I never thought that you would tell me that you like me. Really, I never even thought about it. So when you said it, I was unprepared. If you asked me where I was at that time, What I was thinking about, I can only honestly say that I didn’t think about anything, I was completely blank, and I felt a little dizzy.”

“Then I answered the phone, and I didn’t know what was being said over there, but there was just some messy background sound, and then after a long time, I seemed to have been deaf for a long time and suddenly regained my hearing. "

It was also at that time that I heard what you said. You said you liked me a long time ago."

Many words came at once. Jing'an was at a loss at first, but then seemed to experience his feelings again from his words.

The sweetness and sourness also spread in her chest.

She covered her lips, obviously smiling, but her eyes couldn't help but feel wet.

"This feeling is hard to describe."

Shen Lie's eyes were dark and gloomy, and his voice was low and deep: "I just want to do one thing now."

"What to do?"

"Do/you." Simple and straightforward.

The heat that Chen Jing'an had just subsided swept over again, becoming more intense and trying to dry out the water in her body.

Does he know how to write the word shame?

Obviously, he didn't know.

Shen Lie's warm breath blew onto his cheek. He looked extremely serious, but the words he spoke made people blush. The contrast was too strong, "I want to hold you down and make love all night long."

"..."

She couldn't. I can't help but think of those images.

Chen Jing'an regretted it again.

No, why does she ask so much? !

The night was dark.

In the room, only a sunset lamp was lit.

The dim red setting sun reflected on a corner of the wall, and there were also two graceful figures reflected on them. Their physiques were quite different, and they finally merged into a whole, making it difficult to distinguish them.

The shadows swayed, and the muffled sounds continued.

In the room, it was as if time did not exist.

The setting sun never sets, and the shadow never disappears, rising and falling continuously.

Chen Jing'an didn't know how many times she said she liked it, but every time it was like hearing it for the first time. He never tired of it and wanted to hear more from her.

not enough.

Far from enough.

Insatiable greed seemed to be his nature, and Shen Lie never thought of restraining it.

Chen Jing'an straightened her legs, and tears overflowed from her eyes countless times. Shen Lie held her chin and leaned over to kiss her, swallowing her voice together. When his mind was gone, he heard him whisper: "Tomorrow Move back and live with me, eh?"

"Why?"

Chen Jing'an asked with little sense left.

She thinks it's very nice here. Although the house is small, the happiness two people feel when they squeeze into a small sofa and watch a movie is real.

"The sound insulation is too poor."

Chen Jing'an heard Shen Lie comment with some disgust.

"Not good enough."

"You have been afraid to speak out."

"..."

"I want to hear your voice."

"I want to hear that you like my voice very much."
