Flower Room

Chapter 4
After dinner, Shen Yufang said to Manzhi: "Mengmeng will sleep with me these two days, you can rest assured."

Mengmeng got into Manzhi's arms, stretched her small hands around her neck, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'll sleep with grandma, mommy will take good care of her body."

Manzhi really felt tired, so she didn't object to the suggestion, she stroked Mengmeng's soft hair, kissed her, and then let her go.

Mengmeng ran over to pester Shao Yun to read the storybook, Shao Yun lifted her over his head, sat on his right shoulder, and happily walked towards her "doll's house".

Looking at their backs, Manzhi felt a little strange, a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time.Shao Yun is 32 years old. Many married men start to put on weight at this age, but he is still so thin. Maybe she is really too tired today, and her thinking becomes loose and fuzzy.

After entering the room, when I was about to take a shower, I realized that my hands were inconvenient, so I groped in the drawer for a while, found a plastic bag, wrapped the injured hand in it carefully, tied it tightly, and then went to the bathroom to flush take a bath.After washing, I checked the time. It was only 07:30. She had never gone to bed so early.

She didn't draw down the curtains, just turned off the lights, lying on the bed, and she could see a flock of small birds flapping their wings in the dim twilight outside the window when she tilted her head. She stared at it for a while before suddenly realizing That's the bat hunting.

She remembered when she was a child, on a clear summer night, she and her sister Manqi huddled together on an open-air spring bench. At that time, there were bats flying by, and fireflies that are now extinct.The two sisters had nothing to do, so they started counting the stars laughingly. The huge night sky was like an endless black lacquer plate filled with precious gems. Which one started, and which track did it start?

"Recount." Manqi always said this, she is a person who doesn't care about anything, even her appearance seems to be put together so casually, but she has achieved an amazing beauty, and she just cares about it.If someone praised her for being beautiful, she would always say "huh?" first, as if she hadn't recovered from her senses, and it was artificial, only Manzhi knew that she really didn't care.

Manzhi is the complete opposite of her, she has to figure out everything about Chou Yinmao, she doesn't like to follow the crowd, she believes in the principle that if you sow melons, you will reap melons.Manzhi is also beautiful, but her beauty is much more rigorous. Whether it is opened or closed, her facial features are very attractive, but because of this, she is a little rigid, and lacks the agility of her sister.Dad always said that Manzhi was smart and Manqi was stupid, but it took a long time for Manzhi to understand that being smart is not necessarily a good thing.

Counting the stars was the most romantic game in their material-poor childhood. While counting, they slapped each other's mosquitoes, and the screams and laughter could be heard far away after more than ten years.I don't know why, there was nothing at that time, but when I recall it, I am full of happiness.

Now she can only look through her memory in a daze like this alone, watching those people and things that seem to be right in front of her eyes.She clearly saw where she was wrong, it was so obvious that she could only look at it in vain, just like opening an elementary school homework book now, the answer under the big red cross is so ridiculous, but even if she corrects it, she still can't. Does it make sense?Can't think, can't think, there are sporadic pains in his hands, bit by bit torturing Manzhi's nerves.She flicked on the light, got up, found a stack of old magazines in the drawer, and sat in front of the dresser to read.

She tried to force herself to calm down and read the book. After reading it for a long time, she still couldn't get into it no matter how she was.

The door was pushed open without warning, she turned around to look with slightly raised eyebrows, thinking that Mengmeng was trying to play tricks and came to pester her again, but unexpectedly it was Shao Yun who came in.

He didn't speak, but glanced at Manzhi vacantly, and walked towards the bathroom in the inner room while unbuttoning his shirt.Immediately there was the sound of water flowing.Manzhi was stunned for a while, then turned her gaze back to the book.

She couldn't remember how long Shao Yun hadn't been alone in the room with her. They lived apart for a long time, and it was only because of a cuteness that they provided a legitimate reason for this situation, and this reason was for Shen Yufang is important.Manzhi didn't know what happened to him today, and guessed that Shen Yufang might have forced her to do so. Thinking of this, two sneers rolled coldly in her heart.

The sound of the water suddenly stopped, and Shao Yun said to her in a loud voice, "I forgot my bathrobe."

Manzhi hesitated for a moment, angrily and helplessly opened the closet, took off a bathrobe, and walked over.

Pushing open the door of the bathroom, Shao Yun was naked and shrouded in the thin mist, calmly wiping off the water stains on his body, his body was not thin at all when he took off his clothes, on the contrary, he was strong and sexy, especially the bronze color Smooth skin and well-proportioned body shape.

Manzhi's face became slightly hot, soaked by the warm and humid air blowing against her face. She quickly put the bathrobe on the hanger, turned around and left, and then went back to read, feeling a little restless.

Shao Yun finally came out fully dressed, with a pack of cigarettes in his hand like a magic trick, he walked over, leaned directly on the bed, took out a cigarette from the pack habitually, and was about to light it, thinking of something, unexpectedly She politely raised her eyebrows at Manzhi, "Can you?"

It was the first time Manzhi saw him showing a gentlemanly demeanor in front of her, so she cooperated and said, "I'm sorry, it's not possible."

Shao Yun was startled, but in the end he threw the cigarette back on the bedside cabinet.Idling around, he dragged a magazine and read it like Manzhi, but his eyes flicked to her from time to time, and the book in his hand was rattling, Manzhi was a little annoyed.

"Does it hurt?" he asked, his tone of suppressed impatience, as if he was dealing with an errand.

Manzhi didn't lift her eyelids, she still stared at the magazine and said calmly, "It's okay."

Her attitude made him a little aggrieved, as if he came here specially to curry favor with her.He was a little unwilling, so he stretched out his hand towards her in the air, and said in a low voice, "Come here and let me have a look."

Manzhi was still cold, "No need."

But she didn't stop him, and in an instant, she was pulled into his arms heavily by him.With a tiger's face, he grabbed her injured hand to examine it, frowning slightly.

Manzhi's body froze in his arms, feeling extremely awkward, so she said coldly: "You can speak directly if you have something to say, you don't have to go around so far."

When Shao Yun heard her say this, his face sank, he let go of her, and said, "Okay, then I want you to close the shop tomorrow."

"Impossible." Manzhi replied decisively.

Uncharacteristically, Shao Yun did not lose his temper immediately, and said patiently: "If you feel empty, you can go back to the company to work. If you don't want to be in the company, I can also get you into another unit. Why show your face in that kind of place?"

Manzhi smiled, "Shao Yun, you'd better not forget our agreement, I won't meddle in your affairs, please don't dictate my affairs, we don't mess with rivers, we've been here for so many years, isn't it very okay?"

Shao Yun was most angry with her for this, as long as the two of them were alone, Manzhi completely abandoned her usual meekness and became sharp-tongued, refusing to give in to him, just like a rose with thorns.

Anger began to gather in Shao Yun's eyes, "You want to provoke me on purpose, don't you?"

Manzhi looked at him without fear, and said quietly: "You are too irritable."

She saw his sharp eyes approaching her, which was a sign of his anger, but she was not afraid, and when he was forced to this point, he would usually turn around and slam the door and leave, just like every quarrel before, with a slight nod Neck, she added, "If you finish speaking, you can go back to your room."

But this time she miscalculated, Shao Yun didn't intend to stop there, he bent down and grabbed her lips directly, turning his anger into an encroaching force.

Manzhi was stunned, and struggled instinctively, but she didn't get rid of his control, and the arms around her body were tightened even more.He hugged her and rolled directly onto the bed.

Manzhi desperately resisted, but he had only one hand to exert strength, and his left hand wrapped in thick gauze was carefully and easily pressed on top of his head, struggling in vain.So she became ruthless and tried to resist with her right hand, but Shao Yun seemed to be determined to take her down, so she was not allowed to resist, a pair of powerful arms clamped her firmly, and he calmly admired her conquered posture.

Under the light, Manzhi's alluring carcass was presented in front of Shao Yun at a glance, plump and white, his dark brown pupils were shrinking rapidly, and his breathing was gradually getting thicker.Manzhi suddenly felt hatred, she felt deeply humiliated, and moisture accumulated in her eye sockets, she tried to keep her eyes wide open, lest tears would roll out.

Shao Yun noticed her strangeness, slowed down his movements, and said hoarsely: "Do you want to cry? If you cry, I will let you go."

Manzhi bit her lower lip hard, tilted her head stubbornly, and said softly, "No."

He remembered that a long time ago, she had gritted her teeth and swore to him, "I will never shed tears in front of you." She really did what she said, and she firmly remembered the harm he caused her, so many years , refused to relax one point, but when it comes to talking about it, she was the one who hurt him first, far a thousand times more ruthless than him.

His face was covered with a layer of cloud, his heart became colder and colder, and the last sliver of reason disappeared...

After everything calmed down, Shao Yun felt deeply tired, more psychologically than physically.He turned his face away and saw that Manzhi's head was tilted to one side, her eyes were closed tightly, she seemed to be asleep, but he knew she was awake, so he knew that she must hate him very much in her heart.He couldn't help stretching out his hand gently, wanting to touch her soft cheek, he reached into the air, hesitantly froze, finally clenched into a fist, and drew it back forcefully.

He finally fell asleep in a deep sleepiness.He seldom dreams, but tonight, perhaps in a different bed, he actually dreamed like a ghost.

In the dream, there was the cry of a woman shivering, gnawing at his auditory nerve like a bug. He was a little panicked, wondering who it was?For a long time, he would always hear the same woman crying to him in his dreams. The voice made him feel unbearable pain. It was a kind of regretful pain that went deep into the bone marrow, but he could only listen, but he couldn't do anything. up.Could it be that she came back again?He struggled, tried hard to hear the truth, but woke up instead.

There was indeed someone sobbing in the dark, and the voice came from reality to dream, but it was Manzhi.

Shao Yun listened in a daze for a while, then sighed silently, moved his body over, and hugged her very gently into his arms.Manzhi was full of desolation, she didn't need such cheap comfort, but no matter how much she struggled and bit him, she would never let go.

Finally Manzhi was also tired, and gradually stopped crying, and resigned herself to her fate, curled up in Shao Yun's arms.

The boundless darkness of night shrouded people's hearts and minds became fragile and confused. During the day, all the armed forces were just a hypocritical shell that only worked in the light.In the dead of night, the only thing they can perceive is each other, even if they have hatred for each other.

They just kept the hugging position and slept quietly until dawn.

Shen Yufang hummed a little song and went to the kitchen to serve freshly stewed rice porridge. She was an old-fashioned person and always believed that rice porridge was more nutritious than bread and milk, especially for those who needed tonic.

"Why is grandma so happy this morning?" Mengmeng asked wonderingly as she gnawed on a coarse-grain bread at the table.

Shen Yufang came out, handed the porridge bowls to Manzhi and Shaoyun one by one, and said with a smile: "Grandma is just happy." Ever since she saw Manzhi and Shaoyun coming out of the same room, she was a little bit happy I can't help myself, this is a good sign, it shows that Shao Yun still loves Manzhi, as soon as he gets hurt, his true feelings will be revealed naturally.

Shao Yun gave a dry cough, patted Mengmeng's head, and began to drink porridge with his head down.Manzhi didn't say much, just ate by herself and didn't go to see Shao Yun, but they knew each other tacitly.

"It's inconvenient for you to drive, I'll take you there later." Shao Yun suddenly raised his head and said to Manzhi.

He thought about it, since Manzhi insisted, let her go, maybe his mother was right, he should really try to forget the past and cherish the present.

Manzhi glanced at him rather unexpectedly, and answered casually.On the other hand, Shen Yufang was very happy, and said to Shao Yun: "This is good, this is good, oh, Manzhi's hand will not recover in a day or two, so I will give it to you for a while."

Shao Yun smiled gently and agreed.

After getting into the car, the two of them were silent all the way. When they were about to reach the flower shop, Shao Yun said: "I was wrong last night, I... apologize to you."

Manzhi turned her face out of the window expressionlessly, indicating that she didn't want to hear it.

"Manzhi, can we... can we find a time to have a good talk?"

"What do you want to talk about?" Manzhi's voice came over coldly.

The car has stopped at the door of the flower shop.

Shao Yun licked his lower lip with difficulty, and said, "I hope... we can stop quarreling and live a good life." It was the first time he said such words, which surprised Manzhi, but she still didn't move.

"I think our life like this is very abnormal...I mean," Shao Yun suddenly didn't know how to express it, and felt a little confused. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said again: "I mean, Mengmeng is getting older, she will understand sooner or later, she will notice the relationship between us..."

"Shao Yun!" Manzhi interrupted him and turned her face. There was a smile on her face, but that smile made him feel as cold as falling into an ice cave. She said slowly: "You don't have to worry about last night. I have to find a bunch of excuses about it. Taking care of Mengmeng is my most important responsibility. I will not let her suffer any harm. I don’t need you to remind me. As for the other things, it’s the same sentence. No!" She said at the end, her voice choked up imperceptibly, but she was quickly suppressed by herself, and without waiting for his next words, she pushed open the car door, jumped off, and walked towards the flower shop without looking back .

Shao Yun watched her smile and greet a girl who came out of the door, and walked in with her calmly.His chest was suffocated like a stone, and he slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

Manzhi couldn't do anything with her hands, but after all she stayed in the shop, she felt much more at ease.She is glad that she opened this shop. Although it is ordinary and inconspicuous, it is a good place for her to rest. Here, she doesn't have to watch people's faces carefully, and beware of hurting or offending anyone with what she says.Although she has never been afraid of dealing with interpersonal relationships, she still gets tired. When she is tired, she hopes to have a harbor of her own, where she can dock quietly for a while. Now that she finally has it, how can she be willing to give up.

In the afternoon, she unexpectedly received a call from Chang Shaohui. Li Qian answered it, and when she recognized that it was him, she immediately spoke cheerfully and joyfully.

"Mr. Chang... Well, yes, it's convenient... Oh, you said our boss, she's fine... She's here, do you want her to listen?" Saying this, the conversation has already passed to Manzhi.

Manzhi just gave a feed, when she heard Chang Shaohui laughing over there, "Miss Li is really quick." After a pause, he said again: "I actually have nothing to say, as long as you are fine."

He just uttered such a brief sentence, but Manzhi was moved for some reason. Maybe she was used to being alone, and she could deal with even harsh words, but a small concern was more likely to hit her heart.

"Thank you." She said sincerely, and then gently hung up the phone.

Li Qian picked up a few nails from the drawer where the small items were kept, and packed them in a small paper bag. Manzhi looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Mr. Chang said that he wanted to hang that painting by himself, but the nails we gave him last time were lost somewhere, and he asked if he could get some more. I just found a few, or... I sent them to him?"

Manzhi didn't seem to notice the look in her expectant eyes. After thinking for a while, she took an expensive glazed ornament from the shelf. She remembered that when Chang Shaohui wandered around the store last time, she stared at it and pondered a lot. Time, said: "Let me go, thanks to his help yesterday, I have to thank him in person."

"Oh." Li Qian had no choice but to hand her the paper bag containing the nails.

Manzhi carefully wrapped the gift, put it in a bag, took the nails, checked Chang Shaohui's address again and again, and then went out.

The environment of the community is very good. Manzhi once came in when he chose the storefront. There are greenery everywhere, artificially carved pavilions and pavilions, and rockery surrounded by water. Vision is better than gray and white cement.In particular, the large-scale fountain in the central pool adds coolness to people in the hot summer, and can somewhat wipe away impetuousness.

Chang Shaohui's apartment was on the ninth floor. Manzhi took the elevator up and rang the bell for a long time before someone came to open the door.

Chang Shaohui was wearing a white sports shorts and a baseball cap, which added a bit of heroism besides gentleness. Seeing that it was Manzhi, he was very surprised and enthusiastically let him in.

"Won't it delay you? You seem to be going out." Manzhi asked with a smile.

"Where, I made an appointment with my friend to play tennis at three o'clock. It's still early. I didn't expect the boss to come to the door in person." Chang Shaohui laughed and joked.

Manzhi handed him the things in his hand at the right time, and thanked him sincerely.

"You're too polite." Chang Shaohui smiled, still took the gift, glanced at Manzhi's left hand, which was still wrapped in gauze, made up his mind, and went to open the gift.

When he saw the things in the box, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, looked deeply at Manzhi and said, "You are really...so careful."

When Manzhi was stared at by his gentle eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she always kept her face and smiled generously, "I choose whatever you like, it's best if you like it."

Hearing what she said, Chang Shaohui didn't go into it any further. He carefully put the glass on the table and said, "Since you're here, sit down for a while. What do you want to drink, green tea? Coffee?"

Manzhi hurriedly said: "Don't bother me, I'll leave in a while."

Chang Shaohui continued, "I guess you like tea, and it's scented tea."

But he soon said with some distress: "I don't have scented tea here."

Manzhi pursed her lips and smiled, "I said don't bother, so don't worry about it."

In the end, Chang Shaohui made her a cup of high-quality green tea, using an extremely delicate blue and white porcelain cup.

Manzhi had the opportunity to look at his apartment when he was in Zhang Luo. The area is not very large, but it is more than enough for him to live alone. The decoration style is simple, without redundant design, so it looks more spacious and spacious. , but it is decorated with a lot of decorations. At a glance, each piece of equipment does not seem to be very good, but if you take a closer look, you will find that it is so delicate and elegant.

Seeing Manzhi looking around his house, Chang Shaohui took the initiative to say: "I rent this house because I like its design." Before Manzhi could speak, he said again: "Most of the furnishings here are my own. Picked over the years, I have a strong interest in everything that is well-designed and clever."

Manzhi smiled helplessly: "It seems that you know what I want to ask."

Chang Shaohui chuckled lightly and said, "Because you have eyes that can talk." Seeing Manzhi embarrassed, he realized his abruptness again, secretly annoyed why he, who was usually so restrained, would always say something in front of her. Wrong word. "Actually, it's because all my friends who come to my place will ask the same question." He still rounded up his words with a smile.Manzhi noticed a mechanical device on the corner desk by the window, so she walked over to take a closer look.It is made of metal, and the dense steel ropes hold the small parts back and forth, and it is impossible to see what it is.

Chang Shaohui walked to her side, stretched out his finger, and gently moved a knob at the bottom. In an instant, the machine gained a power, and it started to turn with each turn as if alive.Manzhi marveled at its exquisiteness and thought it was incredible.

"When I was still working in the Institute of Physics, a senior took us to make it together. We called it 'Methodical Stanley', and used it to prove that a successful mechanical design can be completely controlled by people."

Manzhi sighed in admiration, "To design such a device, you have to figure out how many ins and outs, it's too complicated, how did you do it?"

Chang Shaohui smiled slightly, "From a mechanical point of view, there is no problem that cannot be solved." After a pause, he added: "As long as the problem does not involve people."

Manzhi recollected what he said carefully, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Mr. Chang is really a very rational person, and he came to such a conclusion."

Chang Shaohui did not deny it, "Unfortunately, sometimes being too rational can make people feel cold."

"can you?"

"At least a lot of people have commented like this. Said that I... lack interest, like a stone." He recalled those comments, and smiled slightly, as if repeating others' praise for him.

In a corner of the living room, the painting that Chang Shaohui bought in her shop was placed neatly, next to the painting was a small package of colored paper, which was specially prepared in her shop for packing small parts for customers. , if the guess is right, it should contain the nails that match the painting.

Chang Shaohui just found an excuse to call the store, what he really cared about was Manzhi.

As soon as Manzhi figured it out, an unspeakable feeling filled her heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was joy or bitterness.

Shangguan Lin was forcibly dragged to the "Dragon City" club by her college classmates.

She studied finance and economics at N University in this city. There are many local students, and most of them stayed in this city after graduation. Some entered the taxation unit, some entered the Finance Bureau, and more entered enterprises.Those who do finance need to keep abreast of the dynamics of financial information, so everyone naturally formed a small group, and they gathered together to chat and exchange information if they had nothing to do, killing two birds with one stone.

Shangguan Lin works in the office and is already busy. Since she met Shao Lei, Shao Lei has divided up the little spare time she could squeeze out, and was unable to attend several class reunions.

This is a grand event to celebrate the second anniversary of graduation, and she is the class monitor, so she is naturally the key invitee. In their words, they value sex and despise friends to this level of field, and it is cheaper for her not to let her pay the bill.

The activities of the club start at [-]:[-] p.m., which is more leisurely. You can play indoor golf, play slockers, exercise, and swim. Of course, you can also just sit and chat without doing anything.

Shangguan Lin took a glass of fruit juice and walked to Pan Xiang, the main organizer of the meeting, who was studying Srock's skills with great interest.

"Okay, Xiangzi, the specifications this time are much higher than usual."

Pan Xiang looked pale, and winked at her, "We can't just stick to hot pot all the time, the big food stalls are okay, after two years of hard work, we have to bring everyone here to have a meal." Saying this, he started again A little bit of regret, "It's a pity that there is no private room, it's too expensive!"

Shangguan smiled sweetly, and turned his eyes around. This hall is really big, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, it's a bit wasteful to just give them a dozen or so people to play.

"It's okay, the idlers won't wait much."

"It's not time yet. I came here with my friends before, and it was a lively night." He leaned closer to the Shangguan and whispered, "The lady here is very beautiful!"

Shangguan Lin punched him hard, and laughed and scolded: "Virtue!" She has a bright nature and is recognized as a tomboy in the class. No wonder a group of boys never avoid her when they say something colorful.So much so that when they learned that she also had a boyfriend, they all stared in surprise, and only then noticed that aside from personality factors, she turned out to be a very eye-catching girl.

Dinner is buffet.Shangguan had a good appetite, so he shuttled back and forth several times. The plates in front of him were laid out in a ostentatious manner, ranging from sashimi to grilled steak to fruit salad to ice cream.

"You're not afraid of diarrhea after eating." Wu Jing rolled her eyes and said contemptuously.

Wang Jing said in an envious tone, "Shangguan, why don't you get fat all the time?"

Shangguan stared absent-mindedly at a large pot on the table on his left, and a sign was erected underneath, saying "Shark's Fin Soup".Then she couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted to Zhang Feng who was sitting outside: "Hey, Zhang Zhang, watch out for shark fins, and let me know when they come out."

Zhang Feng looked dissatisfied at the mountains of dishes in front of her, and said slowly: "No waste."

Shangguan giggled, glanced at his trophies one by one, and said, "I'm happy just looking at it."

After finishing the meal, the number of people in the amusement hall really increased. A small area was defined by the door on the left hand side. The layout looked like a bar. At this time, some people were sitting sporadically.

Shangguan said puzzledly: "If I want to go to the bar, I won't come here, it's too noisy."

Pan Xiang said: "Little brother, you don't understand. There are a lot of entertainment here, and the bar is just a cover." After being questioned by Ren Shangguan, he refused to say, "I have eyes and can't see."

At this moment, more than a dozen people have spontaneously formed several conversation circles, and began to communicate enthusiastically.Shangguan suddenly laughed, and Wang Jing, who was sitting beside her, turned to look at her, "Why are you so happy?"

"I kind of understand Xiangzi's meaning." Her eyes rested on a pair of tightly entwined men and women at the bar. They were sitting crowded together on a single sofa, with their backs to this side, and a three-seater sofa perpendicular to them. A few people were still sitting, chatting on their own, completely treating those two as air.

Wang Jing glanced over there indifferently, and still leaned forward and said, "Shangguan, what happened to the matter I entrusted to you?"

Shangguan was a little dazed, "Huh?" But soon came to his senses, "Oh, you mean about your cousin's work, right?"

Wang Jing's eyes lit up, "Yes, did you ask Shao Lei, what did he say?"

"There is no shortage of computer professionals in their company, especially those who have just graduated and have no experience. However, if he is willing, he can have a logistics position..." She suddenly stopped talking, as if being bored out of thin air Shut up.

Wang Jing was listening attentively, "What's the matter? Let's continue."

She raised her head and looked at Shangguan expectantly. The latter's eyes were strange, staring straight at the direction of the bar. Wang Jing followed her gaze. It turned out that Shangguan was still staring at the man and woman who made her laugh just now, but at this moment The two changed positions, they were already facing this way, they turned out to be a handsome couple, no wonder Shangguan stared straight at him.

"I'm talking about Shangguan," Wang Jing saw that she was staring at him without hesitation, so she had to stretch out her palm and waved in front of her eyes, "You can't do that, although that guy is good-looking, he doesn't seem to be your type. Look at his frivolous appearance, he is far worse than your Shao Lei."

Shangguan didn't hear what she said at all, maybe his eyes were a little sore, he lowered his head and drank the orange juice in his hand, thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked Wang Jing, "What did we talk about just now?"

They continued to chat, but for the rest of the time, Shangguan was absent-minded. Wang Jing noticed that she still glanced at the man and woman in the distance intentionally or unintentionally, and there was some resentment in her eyes.Wang Jing became confused, she didn't remember any love affair between Shangguan and Shao Lei before, and she was always innocent in school.

"Despicable!" Shangguan squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.

Wang Jing was taken aback. She didn't think there was anything mean about what she just said. Before she had time to ask, Shangguan had already walked towards the bar with a drink.

"Hey, what does she want to do?" Pan Xiang also noticed Shangguan's strangeness, and asked Wang Jing softly.

Wang Jing innocently blinked her big eyes and said, "I don't know either."

Shangguan tightly held the cup in his hand, as if he was carrying a bomb.She didn't stop until she came to the man and woman whom she had been paying attention to for a long time.

At this time, the long-haired woman stretched her arms around the man's neck, whispering in his ear, making him laugh loudly, and in the laughter, he saw the uninvited guest standing in front of him, and the smile became a bit more stagnate.

"Shangguan Lin?" He seemed a little uncertain and called out, but the posture of hugging the woman did not change because of this.

The Shangguan nodded appreciatively, moved the hand holding the cup forward neatly, and poured the drink on it without hesitation. Amidst a burst of exclamation and whistles, the long-haired woman was covered halfway with the sticky juice. It caused her to scream in embarrassment.

Shangguan felt a little regretful, the angle was too far, the wrong person was splashed, and only a few drops were scattered on the target, but she still showed a victorious smile.

"I'm really sorry, but - I did it on purpose." Shangguan stared at the person in front of him and said proudly, his words were full of provocation.

There was a flash of surprise in the man's eyes, but he didn't panic. Instead, he smiled at her and stared at her with interest, as if he was watching a child behaving badly.

Shangguan approached him a little bit, and said in a word: "Then, I hope you have a good time today!" Then he turned and left gracefully.

"Shao Yun, is she your wife? Why is she so overbearing?" The long-haired woman shouted angrily.

One of the companions replied in a glib tone, "Of course not. If her wife is so fierce, would Shao Yun dare to come out to play? Hey, it can't be another romantic debt owed by you."

A group of people laughed together.

"Shut up, talk nonsense." Shao Yun was thoughtful, with an elusive look in his eyes.

When Shangguan returned to his seat, her group of classmates had voluntarily gathered the previously dispersed small organizations into a large circle, excited and curious about her "righteous deed" just now, and were eagerly waiting for her to come back and explain.

Shangguan sat down, the complacent energy just now disappeared, she knew that she was stupid again, why bother with that nosy business, his wife didn't care, why did she stand up so full of righteous indignation, as for it?

But when she thought of Su Manzhi, she became angry for some reason. To be precise, she mourned her misfortune and angered her indisputably. The marriage has come to such a point, what a failure!

Facing the gossip eyes, she waved her hand in distraught, and warned: "Don't worry, don't say a word, or I'll leave right away."

Looking away from the corner of the eye, the group of people on the opposite sofa had long since disappeared, probably because they were afraid that she would make trouble again.

Everyone understood Shangguan's temper, so they dispersed resentfully, and returned to the original topic. Some people were shocked by this incident, only to find that their legs and feet were a little numb after sitting for a long time, and they got up one after another to find something to exercise.

Shangguan felt a little downhearted, and finally left early.

It was still early when I came out, just after nine o'clock.She paced alone on the road under the streetlights, looking at the scenery of the city boredly, not knowing whether she was regretting the impulsive words and deeds just now or thinking about the proposition about marriage.

It was the first time she saw Shao Yun's family of three happily at Shao's house and the scene of Shao Yun entangled with the bar girl just now kept overlapping in front of her eyes, which made her feel extremely awkward and confused.

Although Manzhi is kind and gentle, she doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is willing to tolerate unsatisfactory people. How can she tolerate her husband's misbehavior outside?Unless she didn't know anything about it, but Shangguan didn't believe that Manzhi would be unaware, and Shao Yun almost didn't avoid people.

A car horn sounded from behind, Shangguan subconsciously moved aside, and then the horn sounded again, and she made way a bit more, but the car seemed to be trying to make things difficult for her, staring at her, she couldn't bear it. Turning around, just as he was about to get angry, Shao Yun poked his head out of the car window.

"Get in the car, I'll see you off." He said to her in a very gentle tone.

After all, Shangguan was a bit wronged, he was not as arrogant as before, shook his head at him, and said: "Thank you, no need." Continue to move forward, and Shao Yun's car slowly followed her.

"You are not afraid that I will retaliate against you, are you?" He actually managed to make a joke.

Shangguan stopped in his tracks, thinking that there was really nothing to be afraid of, he hesitated for a while, and opened the car door and got into the back seat.

Seeing that she was so cautious, Shao Yun smiled lightly, started the car, and accelerated.

Shao Yun observed Shangguan from the rearview mirror. She was biting her fingernails and looking out the window thoughtfully.

"In your eyes, have I become a heinous bastard?"

Shangguan snorted, and said in his heart: It's good that you know.

Seeing that she ignored him, Shao Yun was not angry, and said to himself: "I always thought that there are no such characters as female heroes now, but I didn't expect my brother to be lucky enough to get one."

Shangguan was very disgusted with his sarcasm, and immediately shot back: "I am considering whether to continue to associate with Shao Lei, I am afraid that he has as evil blood as you."

Shao Yun slammed the brakes on the car, and the tires contacted the ground rapidly and violently, making harsh noises. Shangguan was startled, and frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Shao Yun had already turned around, lying on the back of the chair, staring at her with burning eyes.

"Don't compare Shao Lei to me. He is a hundred times better than me, and he is also a hundred times luckier than me." When he said this, there was sadness in his eyes. Shangguan had never seen Shao Yun like this before. A little nervous.

But his helpless expression only lasted for two seconds, and his usual indifference and disdain filled his eyes again.

"Besides, what you see is not necessarily the truth or the whole truth."

"Then what is the truth?" Shangguan snorted and couldn't help asking, "If what I see is unbelievable, what else can I believe in?"

Shao Yun didn't answer, he quietly maintained the posture of lying down, his expression was peaceful, and he seemed to be in some kind of thought. Shangguan suddenly realized that he was carefully looking at the man in front of him, and found that he was actually somewhat attractive, especially It was like now, with a lingering sense of loss on his clearly mature face.

After a long time, his expression became a little tired, and he said lazily: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, as long as you believe in Shao Lei." He turned around and started the car again.

Until Shangguan got off the car, the two didn't speak a word.

Shangguan felt that it was a difficult task to talk to Shao Yun, maybe she had never really known him, but, as he said, he was not the category that he should care about.

Shangguan cursed fiercely in his heart, he would be insane to meddle in their affairs in the future.
