Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Shanlai rushed out of the bathroom.

Xiaoyou and Nadel were eating ice cream. They were puzzled to see her panicking. "Why are you running? You're running as if someone is trying to kill you." Nadel took a bite of the ice cream, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Shanlai with amusement.

Shan Lai changed his shoes at the entrance and said with gritted teeth: "If I don't hurry up, I'm going to be dead." After changing his shoes, he quickly turned the doorknob and did not forget to close the door after going out.

Xiaoyou and Nadel looked at each other and continued to eat the ice cream in their hands.

"Youyou, tell me about the boy who took care of Shanlai in the ward that day..." Nadel said meaningfully. He didn't even eat the ice cream. He leaned on the sofa with his arms folded over his chest and looked at Xiaoyou.

Xiaoyou looked at her like this and swallowed nervously. The ice cream in her hand instantly lost its fragrance. "Ah? Who is Nadel talking about? Senior Ximen or Senior Meizuo? Or someone else?" She avoided her gaze and didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Nadel was not polite and directly put his arm around Xiaoyou's shoulders and smiled meaningfully.

……

When Shan Lai came down from home, she stood a little closer to the elevator door, where there was a large pot of lush bamboo that blocked her entire body.

After waiting for a few minutes, the person she was waiting for showed up.

He was still as gentle as usual, but from his facial expression one could tell that he was not in a particularly good mood, and his smiling lips did not seem as beautiful as usual.

"Like." Shan Lai called his name, then grabbed his wrist and took him behind the phoenix tail bamboo.

Lei was a little surprised. What was she doing down there at this time?

Suddenly thinking of the calls she didn't answer, he seemed to understand something. He didn't say anything, just looked at her.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"I didn't mean it." Shanlai had a sad face and looked pitifully at the person whom she had to look up to see.

Lei raised his eyebrows. Was she apologizing?

What is she doing here? Why isn't she at home?

"Why did you think of waiting for me here?" He still couldn't bear it, and his tone of voice was much softer.

On the way here, I had already thought about how to question her, but the moment I saw her, I no longer cared about all that. As long as I saw her, it was enough.

"Do you know how worried I was when you didn't answer the phone? I thought something happened to you. You really make me helpless." He sighed again and reached out to wipe off the coconut flakes on the corner of her mouth.

Was she eating just now?

He helped her wipe it off and softened his voice, "Have you had lunch?" and slowly approached her.

Shan Lai stretched out his hand to stop him, "I have something to do here, can you go back first?" His eyes were wet, as if he was about to cry.

The Adam's apple of the class rolled and the head was lowered.

"Don't." Shan Lai lowered her head slightly, fearing that he would do something again. People pass by here at any time. She is a resident here and she has to save her face.

I was really pissed off by her.

Other people’s girlfriends are clingy and want to be with their boyfriends 24 hours a day; his girlfriend doesn’t answer his calls, doesn’t let him go upstairs, and tells him to leave.

They were clearly in a legitimate relationship, with no cheating or extramarital affairs, but their relationship ended up being treated as if the woman was having an affair and the man was cheating on her.

"Why don't you just come with me." Shan Lai hardened his heart, knowing that it would be known by others sooner or later.

Especially Nadel, she had already imagined what she would be like in the future, and her heart trembled a little.

Lei was startled by her words, and then looked at her with suspicion.

How come she suddenly got it?

There shouldn't be any unspeakable secret.

Lei looked at her, still unable to bear to make things difficult for her, "Okay, then I'll go back first and come back in the evening." Then he took out his cell phone and checked the time.

She didn't let him go up, and she more or less guessed that Nadel or Xiaoyou might be at her home.

Since she doesn't want to, forget it.

As he said this, he smiled again and prepared to leave from here.

As soon as he turned around, Shan Lai ran in front of him and stopped him, "Let's go up." Her little face was flushed and she looked up at him.

Suddenly, she wanted to let others know that her boyfriend was a very gentle boy.

The reason before was because the timing was wrong. She had just returned to Country K and many people didn’t know her, so she didn’t think of telling them for fear of unnecessary trouble.

Especially the time when she went to the ancestral hall, she was targeted by clan members and had to listen to their ridicule, but in the end, Lei drove over to pick her up. She was actually very touched.

And she was allergic, so he, a young man who had never taken care of anyone before, stayed with her in the hospital all night. Looking at her red eyes the next day, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

He could do this for her, which was much more difficult for a spoiled young master than for ordinary people.

How could she pretend to be blind and not see all the sacrifices her young master had made for her?

She was selfish. She didn't consider his feelings and ignored the fact that boys also need a sense of security.

Before Lei could react, Shanlai carefully took his hand and tried to walk into the elevator.

"Oh~" someone cheered behind them and started clapping.

Shanlai was still holding Lei's hand. When he turned around, he saw Ximen and Meizuo not far away from them, with expressions as if they had eaten a melon.

Especially Meizuo, who ran to Lei and put her arm around his shoulders, "Lai, you are quite fast. How could you take down our proud young lady?" As she said this, she winked at Shanlai next to her.

Shanlai's face was already blushing, and it became even redder after hearing what he said.

"Senior Meizuo, why are you here?" Shanlai was still a little confused. Was there something they wanted to talk to her about?

Simon was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers today, with his jacket draped over his left hand. He looked elegant and noble, with his right hand in his pocket, as if he was watching a good show: "You should ask your boyfriend."

"You called us in the middle of the day and asked us to come over to your place to check on Nadel. The Huo family is going crazy looking for her, calling everyone Nadel might know."

"What a great excuse you made up. You're using it as an excuse to find a girlfriend." Simon's tone was sour.

Although there are many women around him, he has never had a girlfriend.

For him, it might be a bit too luxurious.

Simon smiled bitterly, walked to Lei's side, and punched him, "I was going to look for a pretty girl today, it's all your fault."

Lei was not annoyed, and pointed to the elevator with a smile, "There is a cute girl upstairs, you won't lose out."
