true lie

Being far away, Cheng Zhenxin couldn't hear Shen Zhou's voice clearly, so he could only deduce from the shape of his mouth that the other party said "You are here".

As if his heart had been gently scratched by a small paw, there was a slight pain and itching, and then, regret flooded up.

He didn't care about dirtying the floor, so he hurried into the box.Wanting to explain, the manager of the restaurant suddenly asked, "Are you Mr. Cheng who made the appointment?"

"......Yes."

"Hi Mr. Cheng, in order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, most of my dishes are delivered in batches twice a day," the manager apologized, "It rained too much today, which caused the vehicles to be delivered at night to be stuck on the road, and have not been able to arrive yet. Shop. Now the back kitchen only has some leftover ingredients from noon, and the lobster and Wagyu are gone. Do you think you should choose the dishes again, or should I make another appointment for you?"

This restaurant is indeed famous for its freshness. In addition, Cheng Zhen calculated the meal time and looked at the rainstorm outside. If they leave too late, the chefs and waiters will not know that they will be home in the Year of the Monkey .

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Shen Zhou, what do you think?"

The other party has been waiting until now and has not eaten. It is strange if he is not hungry.As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Cheng Zhenxin realized that he seemed to have that serious illness.

He wanted to make a patch for himself, but Shen Zhou glanced at him like a drowned chicken: "Go home."

The first dinner appointment was a complete failure.

Cheng Zhenxin: "...Okay, I'll call the parking boy."

After a long journey all the way, he was in a hurry and didn't refuel on the way back. Cheng Zhenxin's small Bentley had an emergency fuel tank, and Shen Zhou's car was the last one he drove.

Logically speaking, the air conditioner should not be turned on in this kind of weather, and the fog on the windows will easily affect the vision.But Shen Zhou turned on the air conditioner very high, and when he got home, Cheng Zhenxin's clothes were dry and his hair was fresh again.

It was only after he entered the house that he remembered that he still had the hug bucket.After one night, the outer edge of the cylinder was completely wet, the delicate petals had obvious creases, showing some signs of failure, and the balloon was slightly leaking, leaving only the chocolate inside unscathed.

Such an ugly gift is definitely not worth it.

Cheng Zhenxin silently pushed it to the innermost side of the entrance cabinet.

Shen Zhou walked up to the second floor, he should change clothes.Cheng Zhen thought for a while, went straight to the kitchen, and took out a pack of dried noodles from the refrigerator.

In this kind of weather, ordering takeaway was afraid that it would be delivered tomorrow morning, so he decided to do something for the two of them.Complicated ones definitely won't work, cooking tomato noodles or something...should be ok?

He unpacked the dried noodles, took out two more tomatoes, filled the pot with water, and fell into deep thought while looking at everything in front of him.

Should the noodles be submerged in cold water or boiling water?

Should I put the noodles first or the tomatoes first?

How to cut tomatoes, do they need to be peeled?

With fire or...

"What are you doing?"

Just as he was struggling, a male voice came from behind, and Shen Zhou changed his clothes and came down.

"I want to give us two bowls of noodles to eat, or we will be hungry, and we will not be able to sleep easily.

"Go take a bath," Shen Zhou said, "I'll cook."

Cheng Zhenxin: "I—"

Shen Zhou interrupted: "Go."

He looks distant and indifferent when he is not speaking, and very oppressive when he is in a commanding tone.

Cheng Zhenzhen felt that his tone was not quite right, so he said directly: "Then I'll go...Thank you."

After taking a hot bath and changing into clean clothes, Cheng Zhen didn't care to dry his hair, and hurried downstairs.

Shen Zhou was sitting at the dining table, Cheng Zhenzhen carefully looked over, and saw that the tomato noodles had been cooked, and as soon as he walked to the first floor, the aroma wafted through the air.

When he was taking a shower just now, he thought over Shen Zhou's attitude over and over again, and felt that Shen Zhou seemed to be angry.But it is understandable, anyone who is released for two or three hours will be angry.

So after sucking his face viciously, he began to explain carefully: "Shen Zhou, I really didn't intentionally be late today. The thing is like this..."

At that moment, Cheng Zhenxin told Shen Zhou the whole story of what Zhao Fei had caused.Including the time when Sister Xue found him, the difficulty of rushing over to save the artists, and the helplessness of the boss who had to personally fight against the script.

"...It was raining again when I came out, that's why it was so late." After talking so many words in one breath, Cheng Zhen's mouth was dry.

But Shen Zhou still stared at the bowl, ate the noodles slowly, and even said in a slow voice: "Yes."

It was "hmm" again, did she ever forgive him?Cheng Zhen asked eagerly: "Then... can you give me another chance? If the weather turns better tomorrow, let's change to another restaurant for dinner, or you choose a time, I will cooperate unconditionally."

"Look and talk."

Cheng Zhenxin: "......"

Ah ah ah ah ah!

After trying so hard to explain but in exchange for a non-salty "Let's see and talk", Cheng Zhenxin was a little angry at being so perfunctory.In order not to make the atmosphere worse, he decided to change the subject first.

He looked around, and suddenly found a vase on the coffee table in the living room, and the flowers inside were very familiar: "Shen Zhou, those are... the flowers I bought?"

"Yes."

"There is actually a vase in this house, did you choose it?" Cheng Zhenzhen praised, "It's pretty, I didn't even know it."

But seeing that the other party didn't appreciate it at all: "What else do you know?"

The fire "cracked" up.

What happened to Shen Zhou?

No matter how hard he endured the humiliation, he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart after being bullied all night.

What's more, he is the last person who doesn't want to ruin his dinner, he is also very innocent!

Cheng Zhenzhen slammed his chopsticks onto the bowl: "Shen Zhou, you took the wrong medicine! Did I explain it to you? I didn't do it on purpose. I'm trying to get back. If I really want to let you go, why bother?" Run to Bincheng in the heavy rain, open a room in Linshi and wait for the rain to stop!"

Shen Zhou didn't argue about this matter at all: "Why didn't you tell me in advance if there was an emergency?"

Cheng Zhenzhen was startled, he didn't think too much when he received Sister Xue's call.Usually he is used to doing things his own way, and he has never been in the habit of doing things and reporting to others.

"Who are you, I want to report to you!"

"I am your legal spouse."

Cheng Zhenxin's voice was a little softer: ".......It's my first marriage, and I haven't gotten used to it yet."

"Everyone is getting married for the first time," Shen Zhou said, "But I told you after I left, and I arrived at the restaurant on time."

That's right, Shen Zhou did send him a message, and even explained clearly how soon he expected to arrive.

Cheng Zhenzhen's arrogance dropped a bit, and he fell into silence.

"Okay, let's not mention the previous incident for now," Shen Zhou asked again, "Why didn't you tell me when you walked back."

"The phone is broken, if you don't believe me, take a look!" Cheng Zhenzhen took out a brick, patted it in front of Shen Zhou, and answered confidently.

"Then there is no one else around you?"

"Do you think I'm a fool? Of course I tried to borrow my mobile phone. In order to convince the convenience store clerk, I showed them my ID card, car key, and bank card!"

Shen Zhou: "And then?"

"Then......."

Then what happened, Cheng Zhenxin was a little speechless.

Shen Zhou looked at him quietly, with a calm paleness in his expression: "Then you realized that you don't remember my phone number at all."

Cheng Zhenzhen was still stubborn: "Do you know my mobile phone number?"

Without pausing, Shen Zhou recited a series of numbers.

Cheng Zhenxin: "..."

That bit of arrogance was completely extinguished in this string of numbers.

Yes, from the time he was planning to get married until now, he had never cared about this marriage, nor had he cared about Shen Zhou, let alone memorizing phone numbers, which is a necessary skill for young couples.

"...I'll memorize it tonight." Cheng Zhenxin said in a low voice.

Shen Zhou lowered his eyes: "Before it gets cold, finish eating the noodles."

Having said so much, Cheng Zhenzhen has no face to continue to mention the dinner appointment, and after a few words, he fled back to the second floor with a guilty conscience.

Before entering the bedroom, he heard a few suppressed coughs from below.

Just now, Cheng Zhenzhen realized belatedly that Shen Zhou had changed his clothes and came down to cook when he got home, and he didn't say to take a hot bath to warm his body so far.

....... Will he catch a cold?

You are such an idiot, Cheng Zhenxin punched himself hard, and his guilt climbed to the top.

After throwing away the unfinished noodles and cleaning the pots and pans, Shen Zhou stood in front of the vase for a few minutes before returning to the second floor.

After entering the master bedroom, instead of taking a shower, he took out a few chocolates from his pocket.

Chocolate found inside the balloon.

——Cheng Zhenxin... gave him chocolates.

Very gently, he put them into the nightstand drawer and took one of them out.His fingers hovered over the opening for a moment, then retracted again.

The back that had been straight up until the restaurant finally relaxed a little at this moment.

During the three hours before he was waiting for someone, his mind became more and more chaotic. For a while, he wondered if Cheng Zhenzhen’s illness was cured; for a while, he wondered if he had gone too far; Stopping to find traffic information... Uncontrollable distractions nearly destroyed him.

So when Cheng Zhenzhen appeared in the hall, the confusion he showed was not fake.

From the death of both parents and having to rely on others all the way to the success of starting a business, it can be said that no matter what he encounters, he always handles it with ease.

Only with Cheng Zhenxin, he was suspicious and at a loss, like holding the most fragile and most beautiful crystal in the world, or standing on a mountain of knives, all alone, with no one around.

But it's okay.

He put the chocolate in his palm, lowered his head and sniffed it.

More sweet than bitter.

Even if he was pierced through in the next moment, and the stabbed body was completely shattered and lost forever, he still had to hold this crystal in his hands.

must.
