Life With You

As soon as these words came out, George Sheng's eyes, which were originally disgusting with the medicine, faintly lifted up and fell on Song Xi's face.

Song Xi felt uncomfortable being watched by him. The drama in her heart was enough to fill an episode of a TV series. When it came to reality, she could only try to raise the corners of her lips and cover up her embarrassment with a smile, Some people are born to be afraid of hardship, and I am afraid too. .”

I fear you.

Song Xi was really afraid of George Sheng, especially when he just stared at people without speaking. She was so afraid that he would suddenly hurt others with his words. Although the scale of their recent conversations was still within the acceptable range for her, she still felt insecure about him.

George Sheng saw the flash of anxiety in her eyes, but he didn't reply. He was silent for a few seconds and said, There's nothing to show off if you know how to take medicine. Do you want to show off that you're a medicine pot?

Song Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, these words were okay and not unpleasant.

In order to change the subject, she stood up and said, Wait a moment.

She left for a while, and when she came back, she had a supermarket shopping bag in her hand. When she sat down again, she took out the same items from the bag: chocolate candies, milk candies, fruit candies, nougat, rock candies, Chewing gum... and finally, a box of ridiculously large, colorful lollipops.

Song Xi put the lollipop box as big as one side of the medicine jar in the middle like a gift, with a warm and soft smile between her brows and eyes, I don't know what flavor you like to eat, so I was hesitant to buy them all, but it just so happened that I didn't A little boy came from a distance and asked his mother to buy some candies. His mother lied to him and said that the candies were sold out. He pointed at me as a lollipop tower and I ate the whole candy tower in front of him. Put it in my shopping basket, do you know how desperate his eyes were at that time? He couldn't even cry, I almost didn't laugh.

Song Xi was simply happy to buy this sugar tower because it was very beautiful, so her smile showed the pride of a little fox.

George Sheng looked at her across the table. For a moment, he felt the colorful lollipops glowing. Otherwise, how could the smile on her face be so beautiful?

This is the first time he has seen her smile so happily in front of him. The key is not to pretend. He knows that she is good at acting. If necessary, she can smile even more happily outside, but it is all fake.

This time it's true.

Unable to bear it, George Sheng opened his thin lips and said loudly: Are you embarrassed to snatch something from a child?

Song Xi raised her eyes slightly, Why are you so embarrassed? You need this more than him.

In fact, there was teasing in her words, but George Sheng's heartbeat could not be suppressed, and his fingertips were numb as if he had received an electric shock.

Looking away, he was not sure whether Song Xi was trying to seduce him.

Song Xi didn't notice the subtle changes in expression on his face, and was happily showing off his other trophies - candied fruits and preserved fruits.

She looked at the candied fruits and preserved fruits in the supermarket and wondered whether they were new or not. After thinking about it, she decided to take a taxi to an old store in Night City that sold such things. The taxi fare was almost more expensive than the purchase.

She didn't explain it to George Sheng specifically, but George Sheng had a sharp eye and recognized the mark on the preserved fruit box at a glance. This store was at least forty minutes by taxi from where she worked, and it was in the opposite direction to Cuicheng Mountain. Just for this reason. She doesn't mind bothering with things like this.

Song Xi said: When the medicine is ready, I will add some rock sugar for you. You can drink it in one go, and then eat a piece of candied fruit. If you really can't, add a piece of sugar. There are so many varieties here, most of them are sold in the market. Bought them all.”

Stop saying there's nothing you like, Song Xi added secretly.

George Sheng looked at the various candies piled up like a hill in front of her. The softest place in her heart was suddenly poked, and she couldn't tell whether it was sweet or sour.

Ever since he was little, everyone has followed him, some out of love, others out of fear, and more out of a desire to please and cling to. He has received too many gifts of various kinds, but no one has ever given him all the candies in the supermarket. She moved it in front of him and told him brazenly that she had stolen it from a child.

He could almost imagine the scene. The child looked at her basket full of candies eagerly, but still wanted to keep the largest and most beautiful lollipop tower for himself. If he were that child... he might scream People went out to rob her. They didn't want money, they just wanted candy.

The Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly. George Sheng had obviously not eaten anything, but there was a strange sweet taste in his mouth.

Song Xi talked for a long time, but George Sheng remained silent. She finally looked at him, with three parts of anxiety, three parts of hope, and three parts of suspicion in her eyes, and asked aloud: Don't you like it?

George Sheng worked very hard to keep his expression the same. After a few seconds, he opened his thin lips and said lightly: I'm not a child.

Song Xi said: Who said that only children can eat sweets?

As she spoke, she casually handed him a candy with colorful packaging, I tried one on the way back. It was delicious.

George Sheng stretched out his hand out of nowhere and took the candy.

Song Xi also opened one and put it in her mouth. George Sheng lowered his eyes slightly and looked like he was smoking when eating a candy. There was no joy at all on his face.

Song Xi was waiting for his feedback online and asked anxiously: How is it?

George Sheng had only one thought in his mind and he couldn't let her see what he was thinking, so he said calmly with a sullen face: Normal.

Song Xi heard this and immediately handed him another one, This one is made of chocolate and almonds. It's not particularly sweet, but it's very fragrant.

George Sheng took it and put it on the table. She then picked another piece for him, This is gummy candy. Have you ever eaten that kind of orange candy when you were a child? It's the same old taste.

George Sheng raised his eyelids and glanced at her, Do you have something to ask of me?

Song Xi was stunned, No.

George Sheng looked at the expression on her face. It was not so much that he didn't believe her, but that he didn't want to believe the feeling in his heart.

He doesn't want to be moved easily. Being moved requires paying a cost and price. Being moved easily can easily lead to wishful thinking.

Song Xi looked into his pair of black pupils like ice lakes and said truthfully: I owe you too many favors and I live here with you. I can't just say that I won't cause you any trouble. I can help you with something. That would be the best. If you insist that I have any selfish motives, of course I do...

Speaking of this, Song Xi seemed to feel a little guilty. In fact, she was embarrassed, but after thinking about it, sooner or later someone would take the first step in their current relationship.

So after a slight hesitation, she smiled lightly and said, I want to bribe you and become your friend.

A long time later, George Sheng would always think of tonight, intentionally or unintentionally, when the two of them were sitting face to face, with the table full of vegetables and sweets, as if it was a Chinese New Year.

Song Xi smiled and told him how he stimulated the child and bought him the last box of lollipop towers in the supermarket.

Then, she said: I want to bribe you and become your friend.
