Rouge wrong

Rouge opened her eyes slightly, not sure what Shen Cuo meant by "like".

Yanzhi looked at Shen Cuo with a puzzled expression: "I like...does it have to be divided into ages? As long as they are good to me and close to me, I like them all."

She thought for a while and added: "But except for Huzi, everyone around me is older than me, so you are right."

Rouge answered perfectly, but Shen Cuo was not satisfied.It's just that she didn't understand where she was dissatisfied, so she could only frown and hum softly.

Rouge had almost figured out her temperament, and knew that she had something on her mind and couldn't vent it out, and she was making trouble.

"Shopkeeper Shen, why are you asking that suddenly?"

Shen Cuo has always thought of what to do, so even those who know her best will occasionally be caught off guard by her unconstrained thinking.

Rouge knew that she must have gone somewhere in her whimsical imagination again, but she didn't understand what touched her just now.

Shen Cuo was disturbed in his heart, and he couldn't explain why, so he could only drag Yanzhi back to the room while making vague remarks.

"Shopkeeper Shen, wait a minute, I have to go to the store." Yan Zhi held Shen Cuo's indomitable pace, raised the goods ledger in his hand, and said with a smile, "I still have to send the ledger to Brother Wang."

Shen Cuo bent his mouth in displeasure, but said in his mouth: "Then I will go with you."

Rouge didn't push back, just nodded with a smile.

If it was said that Shen Cuo took her wherever he liked in the past, now he followed her no matter where she went.

Ashamed to say, Yan Zhi likes this feeling very much, as if Shen Cuo can't do without her at all.

Due to the booming business, Shen Cuo bought the adjacent shop and opened up the yard at the back. The size of the grocery store has more than doubled that of two years ago. In addition to the original Wang Er and others, he also recruited two new guys.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are people coming and going in the grocery store, which is very lively.Shen Cuo didn't like noise, let alone being spied on, so he stood by the door connecting the backyard and the shop and waited.

Yanzhi took the account book to look for Wang Er, Wang Er saw her quickly put down the account she was calculating, and said apologetically, "Shopkeeper Shen, thank you for your hard work."

Yan Zhi shook her head, and handed the account book to Wang Er: "What's the matter, you have worked hard recently. I have checked and accepted all the goods today, and there is no problem. Because it is a temporary addition, I paid an extra two dollars for the wages. Uncle Li."

Naturally, Wang Er would not question Rouge's decision, nodded and said, "It's up to you to make the decision."

Yanzhi thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Li came here alone today, I heard that Huzi was sick... are they okay recently?"

"Ah..." Wang Er was taken aback for a moment, but then hesitated, "Shopkeeper Shen, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Yan Zhi showed doubts: "If you have something to say, just say it, there is nothing wrong with it."

Wang Er took a few steps back from the counter, and Yan Zhi saw that he was talking about private matters, so she followed him and listened.

"I shouldn't be in charge of this matter. It's just that Li Jiang's family is employed by this shop after all. I'm afraid of offending you...and the family's displeasure. I made my own decision earlier."

Rouge remained calm, and only asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Wang Er glanced around, and then said in a low voice: "Then Li Xuan is fifteen or sixteen years old, the age at which love begins. You have taken good care of their family, so he... inevitably has a wandering mind.

Last time he specifically asked about you, I took it upon myself to tell him not to come again. "

Yan Zhi quietly listened to Wang Er's words, her expression did not change.

"I was negligent about this matter, thank you Brother Wang for helping me deal with it."

Wang Er quickly shook his head: "What's the matter, you are still young, and you have to manage Shen Ji and serve the head of the family on weekdays, how could you think of this? I have been here, and I know this young man..."

He stopped short, and then said: "We all understand that you are kind-hearted, but sometimes kindness will cause some unnecessary troubles."

Yan Zhi nodded, smiled at Wang Er: "I will take it as a warning, you did a good job this time. Uncle Li should also pay attention to it, let's not mention it again in the future."

Wang Er nodded: "That's natural. If you don't ask, this matter will be over. I'm afraid it will cause you more trouble."

Rouge had a smile on her face, but sighed in her heart.

She really didn't think of this matter, because there are almost no opposite sexes of the same age around on weekdays, and she was so focused on Shen Cuo that she really didn't notice other people's affection.

Fortunately, Wang Er discovered it early this time, otherwise the consequences...

Rouge remembered Shen Cuo who was still waiting at the inner door, and subconsciously glanced in that direction.

Others couldn't hear their conversation, but with Shopkeeper Shen's hearing, he must have heard it clearly.

Just now I was having a fight, I just don't know how I will react after hearing this.

When she thought this way, she didn't feel panicked at all, instead, she felt a vague sense of anticipation—how would shopkeeper Shen react?

Shen Cuo was already so angry that the top of her head was smoking. If it had been a few years ago, she would have opened the curtain and rushed out to have a fit.

But after all, Young Master Shen is also a person who has experienced big storms, and he will know after trying to suppress this impulse.

It is useless to rush out at this time, after all, there is no one who can attack at all, and it is very likely that they will not come again.

This was something that made her happy, but just thinking about someone coveting rouge made her feel uncomfortable.

Li Xuan only had a very vague image in her mind, but it was this kind of person who fell in love with Rouge without her knowing it.

Perhaps, many people have been secretly coveting rouge for a long time, but she didn't know it.

Shen Cuo paced back and forth in the aisle irritably, but he turned his head and bumped into Rouge who came in——

This was the first time that he failed to notice the outside world and actually missed the sound of Rouge's footsteps.

"Shopkeeper Shen?"

Shen Cuo saw the surprised expression on Rouge's face - her almond eyes were wide open, the brows were raised, and the fairy fingers as bright as peach blossoms at the corners of her eyes stretched slightly, showing a kind of youthfulness and delicacy unique to girls.

Rouge's little goose egg face still had a trace of childish immaturity, but Shen Cuo noticed in surprise that this immaturity has become weaker and weaker, and it won't be long before...

Maybe in one year, maybe in half a year, Rouge will no longer be a little Rouge.

"Shopkeeper Shen?"

Rouge probably didn't hear a response, so she called her again, but Shen Cuo suddenly took a step back, turned around and left.

It's just that she didn't take two steps, then hurriedly turned her head and took Yan Zhi's hand, angrily said: "I heard it, that kid Li Xuan dared to covet you!"

Rouge's heart was up and down, until Shen Cuo fully grasped her hand, and then she let out a long breath.

Not only did Shen Cuo's unkind tone not scare her, it even gave her a hint of unspeakable joy.

"Shopkeeper Shen, since Big Brother Wang has already dealt with it, why should you care?"

How could Shen Cuo not care?He raised his eyebrows and said: "No, no, Li Jiang is still there, how can it be considered a deal? I don't like them, you drive them away!"

Rouge showed helplessness: "Shopkeeper Shen..."

Seeing her expression, Shen Cuo took a rare step back: "Then you arrange other jobs for him...I asked Shen's Commercial Bank to arrange it for him. Anyway, I can't let them come here to see you again."

This is obviously Shen Cuo's bottom line, although Rouge wanted to know Shen Cuo's attitude before.

At this time, he was afraid that she would lose his temper, so he could only say: "That also needs time to arrange, Shopkeeper Shen, this matter is only guessed by Brother Wang, whether it is still inconclusive."

"Does this need to be concluded? I think he is coveting you."

Based on Yan Zhi's understanding of Shen Cuo, Shen Cuo probably didn't remember Li Xuan's appearance, nor did he know how this sworn assertion came about.

"Okay, okay, whether it's true or not, I'll change Uncle Li's job, okay?"

Yan Zhi coaxed a child-like tone, and Shen Cuo nodded contentedly. After thinking about it, he felt wrong, and asked, "You don't like that Li Xuan, do you?"

Rouge frowned, and asked back: "Shopkeeper Shen, what kind of preference do you like? Is it the same as when you asked me if I like older people?"

Shen Cuo choked, unable to answer for a moment.Because she found that she asked Rouge over and over again, but she didn't understand her heart at all.

But this time, she couldn't keep her words vague.In any case, it is too abnormal to ask Rouge about "like" twice in such a short period of time.

Two blushes rose on Shen Cuo's fair cheeks, and he even showed an expression of embarrassment that he had never seen before.

"Shopkeeper Shen, are you okay? Are we going to stand here forever?"

A little sweat oozed out of Shen Cuo's palms, moistening the back of Rouge's hands.

"I'm fine..."

While she was complaining about Rouge in her heart, why did she ask such a question that was difficult for her to answer, at the same time she couldn't help asking herself why she cared so much about other people's liking for Rouge and the fact that Yan Zhi liked others.

The answer is actually very clear, because when Yan Zhi grows up, she will get married when she has someone she likes, and won't she be able to stay by her side after getting married?

But Shen Cuo couldn't say the answer.As for whether she felt that she was too domineering, or whether she felt that the answer was missing something, she didn't know.

Rouge actually didn't seek any answers, she had a vague, ambiguous, and indescribable feeling for Shen Cuo.

But as smart as she is, from the moment this feeling started to emerge, she deliberately buried it in her heart.

All her reactions—active or passive—are all based on Shen Cuo's words and deeds, and she hopes not to make mistakes more than gaining anything.

Because only by not making mistakes can you stay with shopkeeper Shen for a long time, and only by not making mistakes can you see the flaws of others.

Although Yan Zhi hadn't been with Xie Yu for a short time, the longer she was with Shen Cuo, the more she found that she seemed to be getting closer to Xie Yu.

Those words that the other party said were deeply imprinted in her mind.

Some things are best left in your heart unless you are absolutely sure.

Therefore, when Shen Cuo couldn't give an answer, Rouge didn't ask, but changed the subject on her own initiative.

But at this moment, Shen Cuo suddenly asked very seriously: "Why don't you use honorifics when you talk to others, but why do you use you when you talk to me?"

Rouge never thought about this question.In other words, in her opinion, it's perfectly normal for you to address Shen Cuo.

As for other people - she doesn't rely on her status, but as Shen Cuo's closest person and the shopkeeper of Shen Ji's grocery store, it is necessary to use plain language to talk to the elders.

While Yan Zhi was in a daze, Shen Cuo took her hand and said domineeringly: "From today on, you are not allowed to call me "you" anymore, and don't call me Shopkeeper Shen anymore. "
