Kiss!

He lowered his voice and blamed, "Look, I got into a fight over a woman at a banquet, and he lost all my face."

Shen Yuan sighed heavily, "He's not a child without measure, there must be a reason why he has to do it."

"You know how to speak for him," Zhuang Xue was furious.

Shen Yuanzhong said in a low voice: "Look at him, he was happy just now, if he knew that you lied to him..."

Zhuang Xue hurriedly glanced at the stairs, "It's not my fault. He's been stubborn since he was a child, and there's still some room for turning around. If you really fight hard with him, you'll only get more and more stiff."

In fact, Zhuang Xue didn't intend to agree to this in the bottom of her heart, it was just a stopgap measure.

Shen Xun ate lunch at home, but he had a cold and had no appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after drinking a bowl of soup.

Seeing his flushed face, Zhuang Xue couldn't help asking, "Are you sick?"

Shen Xun said lazily, "I have a bit of a cold."

What happened last night was spread to Zhuang Xue's ears with embellishments. He guessed that his cold had something to do with it.

Zhuang Xue felt distressed and angry at the same time, suppressing her anger, "Go to bed after dinner, I'll ask the doctor to come home."

Shen Xun refused, "No need, it's not a big deal, I have something to do this afternoon."

Zhuang Xue was stuck in her heart, but there were more important things to say, "Let's find a place to eat some time and meet up."

Shen Xun raised his eyes, looking at her with some doubts.

Zhuang Xue had a guilty conscience at first, and she panicked when he saw her, but her expression didn't reveal anything.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Xun looked away, "I'll discuss it with her first."

He didn't go to the company in the afternoon, Qin Rao got home one step ahead of her, and was lying on the sofa after eating.

Shen Xun opened the door and went in. She was reading the script again.

He walked over and asked while taking off his coat, "Are you taking on a new show?"

"Not yet, I have to audition." She reached out her hand, as if to touch his forehead.

Shen Xun put his clothes on the back of the sofa, simply held her face, and lowered his head to touch her forehead.

Feeling that his forehead was still a little hot, Qin Rao went to take the temperature again, and it was still a low-grade fever.

Qin Rao said: "Sleep for a while, I didn't get a good rest last night."

Originally, she slept with him, and when Shen Xun lay down, Qin Rao read the script beside him.

Shen Xun closed his eyes and asked, "How is the script?"

Qin Rao turned another page, "The script is good, but the role of the second female lead is actually not suitable for me."

Shen Xun was silent for a while, then sat up again, stuffed a pillow behind his back, and accompanied her to read the script.

He looked at it for a while, and pointed to a name on it, "Is this the female number one?"

"Well, it can be regarded as two heroines, and she is one of them."

He tapped on it with his fingers, "Play this, this is good, it suits you."

Qin Rao glanced at him amusedly, "Even if I sharpen my head, I'm afraid it will be difficult to squeeze in. This is a big production, and the second female lead is pretty good."

Shen Xun nodded thoughtfully, took the script away from her hand and put it aside, "Sleep with me for a while."

There are still four days before the Chinese New Year, and Qin Rao plans to wait until the 29th day of the lunar calendar before going back.

Fang Jingwen called several times, meaning to let her stay in Dongcheng for the New Year. After talking a few times, she knew it was useless, so forget it.

Shen Xun went to the company in the morning, and Qin Rao didn't wake up until noon. There was a message on WeChat from someone she didn't expect.

Since adding Xie Qitang's WeChat during that poker game, the two have not been in touch.

Later, after knowing that she was Xie Pingsheng's younger sister, it was even more impossible to contact her.

And now, Xie Qitang asked her if she was free, so he could go shopping with her in the afternoon.

Qin Rao originally wanted to refuse, but she thought that Xie Qitang was Shen Xunfa's young fiancée, so she couldn't live without seeing each other forever, and her relationship with Xie Pingsheng was far from that bad.

Qin Rao called, and the two quickly settled on a time, Xie Qitang came to pick her up in person.

Xie Qitang really came to go shopping and bought a lot of things. Qin Rao didn't lack anything, but bought two clothes for Shen Xun.

Going back or taking Xie Qitang's car, she drove very slowly on the road.

Qin Rao found her hesitant to speak several times, and guessed that she might have something difficult to say.

The house of the Banyan Tree Mansion is already looming ahead.

The closer he got, the tighter Xie Qitang's brows tightened.

"Just stop at the door." Qin Rao reminded.

Xie Qitang came back to his senses, and he didn't know where the courage came from, so he went all out, kicked the accelerator, and the car drove directly past the door of the Banyan Tree Mansion.

She said, "Qin Rao, can you go and see my brother?"

Qin Rao looked forward and didn't move.

After passing an intersection, Xie Qitang simply turned onto a small road and stopped the car directly on the side of the road.

Xie Qitang said: "My brother came back that day and had a big fight with my mother when he got home."

She turned her head, "It's because of you, but I don't mean to blame you. It's my mother's fault. It's just that I can't bear to see my brother like this. He has had a hard time in the past few years, and he seems to have changed."

"He left after the quarrel that night. He locked himself in his apartment for two days and didn't see anyone, but I think you should be the one he wants to see most."

"I asked you out today. Actually, I have been struggling for a long time. Now I am Xie Pingsheng's younger sister and Jiang Yuzhou's fiancée. My status is embarrassing, but..."

Xie Qitang's tears flowed down, she grabbed Qin Rao's hand, "I beg you, okay?"

After a while, Qin Rao withdrew her hand, "I didn't go because you begged me, but because he was kind to me before, so I owe him."

Xie Pingsheng's apartment is in the city center, where every inch of land is expensive, with an entire floor.

Qin Rao contacted him first, and when she arrived, she knocked on the door.

After a long time, the door was opened.

Xie Pingsheng stood at the door and smiled at her, "Come in."

He took out a new pair of slippers from the cabinet, and when he bent down, Qin Rao clearly smelled the smell of fresh aftershave and shower gel on his body.

Apparently he had just packed himself before she came.

The air conditioner was on, but the room was cold, and there was a smell of cigarettes and alcohol that hadn't dissipated.

Qin Rao changed her slippers, walked to the sofa and sat down, her eyes fell on an ashtray on the coffee table.

It was full of cigarette butts.

Xie Pingsheng followed her gaze, his body stiffened obviously, his shoulders slowly drooped, and all the previous disguises disappeared at this moment.

He whispered: "Sorry, I forgot to clean up."
