After I was reborn, I was bent by a bamboo horse

Shen Chen paused slightly with his hand on the door, hesitating for a moment.

The woman inside who heard the sound of the door opening had turned her head, the menu she was looking at was slightly closed, and she smiled slightly: "Senior, long time no see."

When speaking, he raised his head, exposing his delicate jawline, and the corners of his mouth curved gracefully.

This senior made Shen Chen rarely silent.

He studied abroad in university, and he doesn't have this junior in his memory. It should be when he was in high school. He was a freshman in high school. In the last six months, he dragged Tao Xun to sleepless nights. For him, the real high school is definitely not four years, but It's been 14 years.

He has the ability of photographic memory, but it is limited to things that he can see.

Seeing his frowning, the person on the opposite side froze his smile, and there was some unwillingness in his eyes: "Senior is really a noble person who forgets things."

Immediately, she stood up gracefully from her seat, and stretched out her hand: "Zhou Yuning, from Class [-], senior, do you still have any impression of the senior?"

Shen Chen stretched out his hand and shook it, and he left with a touch.

This name was quite popular in high school. After all, it was the school flower of high school back then. Even if he didn't pay attention to it, he would have heard the rumors.

Zhou Yuning could see the sudden look in his eyes, obviously he still remembered, so she showed a sweet smile: "Then I don't know if senior remembers, I handed you a love letter in my sophomore year in high school?"

Shen Chen: "..."

He inherited a good face from his parents, with deep eyebrows and handsome facial features, even though his whole body is cold and a bit inhuman, he still has a unique gloomy temperament in the eyes of the ignorant teenagers and girls.

To use young master Tao's words of yin and yang in his previous life, which hurt him, he has attracted bees and butterflies since he was a child, and he didn't know how to restrain himself.

Of course, the price of daring to speak like this is also huge. After being gouged out by Shen Chen with a knife, he only dared to bow his head and silence his voice and pretended to be dead.

After many years, Shen Chen discovered that he could still remember the vague loneliness in Young Master Tao's cynical smile back then, holding someone in his arms and holding wine in his hand, obviously he was the most flamboyant one who didn't know how to restrain himself. It is said that he gritted his teeth when he was attracting bees and attracting butterflies, and at the same time mixed with some inexplicable ridicule.

He didn't understand it at that time, maybe he didn't bother to understand it - at that time, he definitely used Tao Xun more than his affection.

He was distracted for a long time, Zhou Yuning quietly waited for him to remember, and then smiled after a while: "Senior, did you remember?"

Shen Chen smiled, three points alienated, the rest was education, but he didn't answer this question.

——If you can remember it, there is a ghost.

Although he didn't have the title of a school girl back then, he was actually pretty much the same. Shen Cong liked to slander him outside since he was a child, saying that he was the illegitimate child of a slut, and it was common to deliberately target him.

In addition, he has a withdrawn personality and doesn't care much about the outside world. If Young Master Tao hadn't protected him like a madman, something might have happened back then.

——Before college, when he had nothing, Tao Xun actually protected him most of the time.

So after he made it clear that he was disgusted with the snack love letters that occupied his desk early in the morning, he didn't receive a love letter for three full years.

Those love letters that floated onto his desk like snowflakes all fell into the hands of Young Master Tao in the end. As for the fate of falling into Tao Xun's hands——

Know without thinking.

In all honesty, Zhou Yuning is worthy of the title of school belle, she is fair and beautiful, she has the temperament cultivated by a family, but also has the delicate and smartness of an ordinary girl, and she doesn't take advantage of her family background to give people a sense of domineering.

This meal was not in Shen Chen's plan, but it was not a torment. He didn't like to take the initiative to speak up. Although he had learned a lot about how to behave in the world from his early withdrawn personality, except for the elders who had to speak up, , he can basically remain silent or indifferent.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuning was very good at invigorating the atmosphere, so he didn't want to smack her face directly, and occasionally he would open his mouth to answer a sentence or two.

So half an hour passed through the meal in a gentle conversation, Shen Chen calculated the time to return to the company, unconsciously glanced at the phone, and then saw a completely unfamiliar phone number.

It rang once and hung up quickly, like countless ordinary wrong calls.

The movement of his hands stopped slightly, and Shen Chen stood up, making a gesture of going out to answer the phone.

It was connected almost as soon as it was broadcast, and the whistling wind came from the phone, making the young man's voice a little erratic: "Brother Chen, where are you?"

——The voice is a little trembling.

Shen Chen answered truthfully: "Yuan Keju—what's the matter?"

The other side was silent and silent, hesitating for a long time, and then asked a little hoarsely after a while: "Then what, I lost my phone again—Brother Chen, can you come pick me up?"

"Where?"

"...you go downstairs."

Shen Chen: "..."

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Chen went downstairs with a windbreaker in his hand. Although Zhou Yuning looked a little disappointed, she didn't say much. Her parents had also said that she came here. It's normal for Shen Chen to have a lot of work in the company now. If she really wanted to get married in the future, she would have to endure a lot of things like this, and she couldn't get used to it all the time.

Xu Si squatted in the next box for more than an hour for his brother. He had just invited a starlet over for dinner, but he didn't expect to see Shen Chen.

The Xu family has a close relationship with Tao Xun. He promised the old man to enlighten Tao Xun some time ago, but he forgot all about it when he turned around, and even spied on the enemy's military situation.

——But that bastard Tao Xun was really cowardly, he was so aggressive before he came, he thought that this person was stimulated and dared to rush over, but it turned out that he couldn't do it at all, and he only dared to squat in the grass downstairs to make a phone call.

——Fortunately, Shen Chen was willing to go down, otherwise he might have to wait until sometime trembling alone.

Having said that, although every time Tao Xun gets into trouble and Shen Chen has to work hard to clean up the mess behind him, this time is different after all.

This time it's a blind date, and if I can run out just because of Tao Xun, if I don't really look down on this blind date, then it's——

This way of thinking seemed to be a bit too far, Xu Si suddenly came back to his senses, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Could it be that Tao Xun is a fool who has foolish blessings, and really turned Young Master Shen off?

He broke out in a cold sweat at the thought.

-

When Shen Chen went downstairs, the phone hadn't hung up, so he kept looking for it through the voice. Tao Xun was squatting under a tree next to the street. The 1.8-meter young man had his knees bent there, and he was wearing a thin coat without a coat. The shirt squats there.

When I heard the voice and raised my head, I could see the obvious distress. I don’t know how to mess up my hair, it’s a chicken coop, there are dead branches and leaves on the clothes, and the handmade high-end clothes are forced to be worn by him. The effect of climbing out of the construction site.

The corner of Shen Chen's mouth twitched unconsciously, and his brows frowned slightly.

"how did you make it?"

Tao Xun wanted to stand up when he saw him, but he swayed after squatting for a long time, and fell forward if he didn't stand still, Shen Chen quickly stretched out a hand to catch him back.

Afraid that he would not be able to stand still, he didn't take it back, and just stopped at the young man's narrow waist, his frown almost filled with unspoken speechlessness.

——Young master of the Tao family, how did you make yourself look like this?

Tao Xun's body was stiff, half leaning on Shen Chen, he could almost hear Shen Chen's low heartbeat in his eardrums, the discomfort he felt in his body disappeared instantly, he only felt a little dry mouth.

Shen Chen was so annoyed by his stupid appearance that he wanted to laugh, reached out and picked some grass leaves from his collar, without any intention of letting him go: "Speak."

The voice is close at hand, and his height determines the fact that he is slightly shorter than Shen Chen. At this time, the voice brushes past the ears, as if the warm lips could touch his earlobe if he gets closer, Tao Xun is caught by this The approaching temperature made her uneasy, and she stammered an explanation: "No, it's nothing, I just fell down..."

Shen Chen was not very satisfied with this answer, and made a gesture of letting go. Tao Xun lost his support in an instant.

"Did you fall so badly?" Shen Chen frowned even deeper.

Tao Xun was still in shock, and he couldn't let go of Shen Chen's windbreaker. He really thought that Brother Chen despised him and was going to throw him away.

After all, it didn't disturb his blind date. Besides, Shen Chen is not a good person, he is really bad in his bones, but not many people know about it.

— Fewer still know this.

In the end, Shen Chen still didn't look at him, and helped him by his side.

When he came, Li Du drove to pick them up. He didn't drive himself, so he could only call Xiao Guo and ask him to pick them up with the keys from the office.

Xiao Guo, who was forced to work overtime, had no choice but to run out of the company and drive to pick up his boss and vice president.

It was still a little unbelievable when the car was parked. Vice President Tao was leaning on his boss's shoulder, looking very embarrassed. The boss's well-fitting suit jacket was untied and put on his shoulders, and his knees were tightly pressed together.

—Like two poor homeless people, leaning on each other on the street.

Who would have thought that any of these two people would have at least three apartments and countless cars in the capital where every inch of land is expensive?

Xiao Guo felt inexplicably that he really didn't understand the happiness of rich people.

——Obviously two steps ahead is the restaurant I often come to, even if I don’t drive, I still have money in my hand.

When I got closer, I realized that maybe because of the closeness, my boss was covered with some dirt. He has been by his side almost after the boss returned to China, and he clearly knows what kind of temper his boss has.

A person with a serious cleanliness obsession never wrongs himself, so squatting on the street at night in winter is like a dream.

It wasn't until the boss helped Vice President Tao stand up that he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Vice President Tao's leg.

— with a limp.

Only then did I vaguely understand why I refused to take an extra step to enter the nearby restaurant.

Xiao Guo unconsciously slowed down the driving speed, for fear that the bumps would hit Vice President Tao's leg.

Tao Xun, who consciously took advantage, still leaned shamelessly beside Brother Chen, his leg was actually not that badly fell.

Xu Si's words were so poisonous, it was almost suffocating, he couldn't hold back his curse, but one of them used too much force and dropped the mobile phone he had just snatched from others, and then he was so stupid that he tried to grab it .

——As expected, he fell down.

The fall was so hard that he was still a little dizzy, and he got up and saw a bright light in front of him within two steps.

The corner of his mouth twitched, he supported his bruised leg, and said, "Brother..."

Standing in front of his elder brother who hated iron and steel, he almost came over to beat him up with that look, to wake him up.

He was pampered since he was a child. His mother had an accident when he was born. He was a premature baby. He was not very smart when he was a child. Everyone felt indebted to him. They didn't dislike him because of his stupidity, but preferred him more.

In these years, he has never been beaten even if he acted mischievously. Everyone knows that Young Master Tao is the piece of meat on the heart of the Tao family. .

But this time, he was forced to be locked up at home for five days, his mobile phone was confiscated, and he could only follow the old man to raise the grass.

The family didn't say the reason, but he also made a fuss, but it was a rare time in these years when he was rejected. His father warned him with a gloomy face that if he dared to go out of this door, his legs would be broken.

He stayed at home contentedly for a few days, thinking whether he had angered his father by going out for too long during the Chinese New Year, or he would pretend to be obedient for two days before going out, and then received news from Xu Si.

——The Shen family is arranging a blind date for Shen Chen.

He has been thinking about the person for so many years, but he hasn't dared to do anything yet, so he just went out on a blind date like a salesman.

He was so angry that his internal organs ached from the burning, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he climbed over the wall and was about to run outside.

——It never occurred to him that even if he climbed the wall and came out, the Tao family's villa was built in the suburbs, how would he rush there in time.

His elder brother is a real gentleman, with elegant manners, and inherited his father's calm and gentle essence. At that time, his sister-in-law chased after him and accepted him. He was a winner in half his life. He couldn't understand why his younger brother was so disappointing. If your parents beat you to death.

——Even if you really like men, there are countless men who voluntarily kneel down and let him go. Why do you put yourself in such a humble position?

I really hate iron but not steel!

"Tao Xun, can you still be promising?" Tao Qi's eyes turned fierce, which was rare.

Tao Xun didn't speak, and after a while, he called brother.

The voice was low and hoarse, which made people feel distressed.

When had the arrogant and domineering young master of his family been so low-key? As a brother, he hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment all these years.

The eldest son of the Tao family had an awkward fight when he was a child because his parents favored his younger brother very much. Later, when he realized that his younger brother was not good at brains, he behaved like his parents.

——I feel sorry for my younger brother's IQ.

After a long confrontation, Taoqi gritted his teeth and told his younger brother to get into the car and sent him downstairs.

After finally arriving, Tao Xun's blood almost turned cold.

——What is his identity?Come here to interfere with Young Master Shen's blind date?The other party's Zhou family's daughter is rich, powerful, and well-matched. He is just a brother, so what qualifications do he have to come here and speak.

When I was so annoyed, I wanted to smoke a cigarette, and then I realized that I was alone and had nothing. It was his brother who felt sorry for him in the end, and threw his spare mobile phone to him.

——Before that, he actually didn't have much hope that Brother Chen would come down.

How did he know that the strange number was him?Or, what if you know?Is it really possible to throw the girl there?

——He was afraid he was dreaming.

Tao Xun leaned on his elder brother Chen and felt that some dreams could actually be dreamed.

When going back upstairs, Tao Xun gave full play to his shamelessness, and basically didn't make any effort, relying on Shen Chen's support and half-embracing him up the stairs.

Shen Chen didn't intend to move, it was still the same room that Tao Xun came to and was familiar with, and he was not as uneasy as when he first came here.

——Shen Chen is definitely not as disgusted and ridiculed as before.

Get used to it, this is really not a joke.

When Shen Chen knelt down, Tao Xun was taken aback. In his impression, Shen Chen would never bend down, let alone such a posture of bending over and almost kneeling.

"leg."

Shen Chen was too lazy to linger with him, and kept his words concise and to the point, he couldn't stand still when he was in such pain, and said he was fine and didn't want to go to the hospital, at least he had to take a look at the medicine.

Tao Xun didn't want him to see it at all, but Shen Chen was so strong in his bones that he had no possibility of moving his hand away, and finally made him bow his head unconsciously.

Thanks to Mrs. Tao's exquisite aesthetics, his clothes are custom-made, whether formal or casual, and are changed every quarter, with the best materials and styles.

The suit trousers on his body are designed to be gathered, and his legs look particularly slender and straight. His body proportions are good, even if he looks from the bottom up, there is nothing that can be picked out. The waist is slender and the legs are long. There was a little panic in his eyes.

Shen Chen frowned slightly for some reason.

When he got down, he probably knocked his knee on the stone, and a large bruise was produced. Because of Mrs. Tao's natural cold skin, it still looks a bit serious.

But big men don't pay much attention to it. No fractures are minor injuries. Shen Chen went back to his room and brought out the usual iodine and medicine. Before he could sit down, his phone rang.

——Shen Changmin.

There's nothing extra to say, just to warn him that it's time to come back.

During this period of time, because he had to deal with it, he had been living in Shen's house. The rules of Shen's house were strict, even Shen Cong treated him equally. He had to go home before eleven o'clock, and he had to explain clearly if he didn't go back at twelve o'clock.

Shen Chen felt a bit of a headache, probably because he didn't want him to have a good sleep. At this time, he didn't believe that Shen Changmin didn't know what happened to him, and he was a little annoyed if he still grabbed him.

"I have some things to deal with, so I won't go back tonight."

The tone is respectful, neither humble nor overbearing, but it sounds impatient. He is now an adult and has been abroad for four years. Being detained like this makes him feel inexplicably lacking in freedom.

--Very uncomfortable.

There was a moment of silence over there, and said: "I'm waiting for you at home, come back to my study when you come back."

Shen Chen: "..."

People in high positions don't care what other people say, they just follow their own ideas. This is probably a common problem of people in high positions.

He didn't speak, so he heard the next sentence: "I will let Li Du come to pick you up."

Shen Chen's hand holding the phone slightly tightened, and his voice was cold: "No need."

It was already off-duty time, and it took more time for Li Du to rush over to pick him up after receiving the news, so he might as well drive back by himself.

The coat was put on Tao Xun's shoulders before, and he still hasn't taken it off yet. Shen Chen went to the closet to find a woolen coat again, and then took the pajamas that Tao Xun used when he boarded here last time. out.

He walked in a hurry without explaining anything to Tao Xun, he could feel the eyes almost glued to him all the way, and he stopped suddenly when he reached the door.

The location of the door always reminded him of Tao Xun, that idiot who was scared enough in the situation he set up, and then went around to raise money, squatting in front of his house all night in winter, and losing consciousness from the cold hands and feet .

He may never forget that scene in his life, the young man huddled at his door, his eyes were red.

Tao Xunben is one thing, but I am afraid that no one in this world can treat him so heartily - even his so-called father who is connected by blood will never be soft when it is time to abandon him.

After pausing for a moment, he took out something from his clothes, turned around and put it on the coffee table.

Tao Xun's eyes followed him tightly all the time, so he saw what it was the moment he moved his hand away.

—That is, a bunch of keys.

He was startled but before he could react, Shen Chen had already pushed the thing to his hand.

"Don't lose it."

After only one order, he hurried out.

Tao Xun was still stuck in the same place and didn't recover. After a long time, the door was closed, and he called out very uncertainly: "Brother Chen?"

——If it wasn't for the fact that his eyes were so dazzled that he couldn't see clearly, this was probably the key to Brother Chen's house.

There was no response from the huge room, as if his sound just now fell into the empty wind.

When his index finger touched the key, it seemed that it was still in the body temperature of another person, so hot that he could hardly hold it firmly.

He inexplicably thought that when other people get married, they seem to share the keys when they buy a new house. What's the point of that?

——Probably the meaning of being able to accommodate another person into his life and share everything with him.

He knew that Shen Chen didn't mean that, but he couldn't stop himself from thinking this way, sometimes between heaven and hell, the last moment Brother Chen went on a blind date, he was almost desperate, but at this moment, he was overwhelmed and felt a little confused Weak hope.

——Brother Chen is not such a person who can casually give away the keys to his house. His temperament is withdrawn, indifferent and even xenophobic. He treats him differently. Didn't have that chance?

Well, he has already started to think about the possibility of him not leaving.

-

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when Shen Chen drove back to Shen's house. He was familiar with Shen Changmin's routine, so he should go to bed at this time, and it was not easy to sacrifice sleep time for him.

The aunt at home took the scarf in his hand and said to him in a low voice: "Sir is waiting for you to come back in the study, please go quickly."

The aunt at home watched him and Shen Cong grow up. Because of Shen Chen's background, all the bad talkers in the family went away, and the rest were honest people, so they advised him a few words.

"I've been waiting for half an hour, and my face doesn't look very good."

Shen Chen nodded to indicate that he understood, thanked him in a low voice, and then walked towards the study.

The aunt behind was flattered, and Shen Cong would often ask her about such things, but never once did he thank her afterwards.

The similarity between Shen Changmin's study and Shen Chen's is not so dramatic. Even at home, it is like another office. If it is not for his high position and style, he can't mess around, and he can even bring official business back to deal with without any problem.

When Shen Chen opened the door, he still pretended to call his father as usual, but his voice was more distant and indifferent than usual.

Shen Changmin is a fine human being, he couldn't hear the change in his voice, he paused while holding the pen in his hand, and there was a bit of displeasure leaking from his eyes.

Shen Chen turned a blind eye, just pretending that he had never seen anything.

After staring at each other for a while, Shen Changmin put down his pen with a headache. He vaguely felt that his son was not like a young man in his early twenties, and he couldn't suppress it even with his experience in high positions over the years.

This is a good thing, and doing things can make him more at ease, but it is not a good thing, there are too many uncertainties, and it is difficult to control.

"Shen Chen, your family never opposed you when you chose to go into business, but you know that the family actually lacks a son in politics."

That's a good point. They are all civil servants and people with pens. What they lack is the power of the military. He has heard about these things.

—but what to him?

He was never on the same boat as them. If he was on the same boat, he would not have pushed him to the forefront in his previous life, watching them from the sidelines to perish.

Shen Changmin tapped the table with his index finger slightly, and his voice revealed the majesty of a father: "You don't want to be an official, and your family has never forced you, but you should do something for the family, what Uncle Zhou and I mean to you You should understand."

——It means something.
