Affectionate trapping

Chapter 126 The Rumored Boiling Sheep

The two sat facing each other in the cafe, the setting sun was approaching Xishan, and the colored light was reflected on the glass tabletop.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Shen Lu smiled and said, "You don't need to be nervous, just chatting."

Wen Xi twirled the spoon with her fingers, waiting for him to speak first.

"You're with Yuri, aren't you?"

"You found out?"

She didn't think Shen Yuli would tell him about it personally.

Shen Lu hummed, observing her expression, his eyes darkened slightly: "Xiaoxi, you are a good boy, so I am very happy to see you both together."

Wen Xi felt relieved, and asked him, "Does Aunt know?"

"do not know."

"Will she object?"

"Maybe," he said honestly.

Wen Xi wasn't too surprised, she lowered her eyes and took two sips of hot tea.

"I just want to ask, did you... like Yu Zhou before?"

"I don't like it." She replied bluntly, and raised her head: "I know that you and your aunt have a lot of misunderstandings, but if you think about it carefully, with the relationship between our two families, if he and I are really in love, there is no need for us to hide it." We don't talk about it, but the fact is that we are not interested in each other, just pure friendship."

Shen Lu murmured: "Back when Yu Zhou said that you were young and not yet ready to talk about marriage, he was more focused on his career at that time, so there has been no conclusion. It turned out that we misunderstood everything."

——"Otherwise, why would my parents think so definitely that you are their daughter-in-law? Without his hints and guidance, how could they still think so?"

Shen Yuli's words suddenly popped up in Wen Xi's mind, his fingers trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to suppress the chaotic emotions.

The deceased is gone, she will not make any judgments, nor will she deny Shen Yuzhou's care and life-saving grace to her.

It's just unavoidable that there is still some unexplainable bitterness, a feeling of being used and betrayed by friends.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. To tell you the truth, I had a conversation with Yu Li the day you fell into the water." Shen Lu paused for a moment, and continued: "Since Yu Zhou left, his temperament has become extraordinarily docile. This is all for you, so I asked a question at the time, do you like the real him, or the person he played?"

Wen Xi's heart froze suddenly, no wonder in those few days...he became so strange, even later he was particularly sensitive to certain things.

For example, words such as "change" and "nature" cannot be mentioned, and Shen Yuzhou cannot be mentioned.

"Uncle, I am with Shen Yuli now is the result of my careful consideration, I like him, not for any other reason."

Hearing this, a big stone fell to the ground in Shen Lu's heart, and he said with relief: "That's good."

He turned to ask, "Did you tell him about him going home for the New Year?"

"Yes."

Shen Lu smiled slightly, "I should have thought of it, he had a grudge against us, and he was unwilling to go home for the night for so many years. That was the first time I saw him send you a message at that time."

Wen Xi comforted: "He also cares about you in his heart, but he is too insecure to do that. You just need to care more about him."

"We are really sorry for him." A bit of shame appeared on Shen Lu's face: "I am usually busy with work and neglect to pay attention to him psychologically. Both Man Qing and I were at fault for this matter. We have already lost a Son, I don't expect Yuli to be close and filial to us, I just want him to be safe and happy."

Wen Xi was a little moved, as if something she liked had finally received the attention it deserved, "Uncle, thank you."

"you are welcome."

He stopped talking, suddenly a little funny.

He cared about his son, but was thanked by the other party.

Although it was absurd, it couldn't hide the fact that his father failed.

Shen Lu's brows were indifferent and downcast. After a moment of silence, he opened his lips again: "I will try to persuade Man Qing when the time comes, and you and Yu Li will be fine."

Wen Xi smiled and nodded: "We will."

"By the way, there is one more thing that I didn't intend to say, but I want to ask you."

"what?"

"That day when Yuli rescued you ashore, you vomited a lot of water. On the way he carried you to the hospital, you seemed to call Yu Zhou's name. I thought I heard it wrong, but Yuli paused. I just realized that maybe I heard right."

Wen Xi's pupils contracted sharply, and she looked at him with trepidation.

"I don't know if he asked you later, but he must have been upset at the time. I thought about it later, did you take the person who saved you this time as Yu Zhou again?"

"No, it's not. I dreamed about what happened when I was a child that day, and my memory was confused. If it's correct, my complete sentence should be Brother Yu Zhou, thank you."

Wen Xi couldn't sit still, got up in a panic, and supported the suitcase beside him: "I'm sorry Uncle, I left in a hurry, thank you for telling me this!"

"Hey! I'll see you off."

"no need!"

Shen Lu stared at her hurried back, and slowly lowered her half-raised body, feeling depressed.

The living room was brightly lit, two cats were vying for a place in Shen Yuli's arms, Quan Chi reached out and grabbed one to rest on his lap.

"Why do you stick to you, do you smell good?"

"My cat, isn't it clinging to me, is it clinging to you?"

This was at Xiong Shaozhuo's house. Xiong Shaoyue was on winter vacation, so Shen Yuli asked Shen Yuli to bring him two cats for him to keep and play for fear that he would be bored.

Cats are not easy to raise and familiarize with, but it is probably because the place where they live is not fixed. Dawen and Xiaowen are quite used to staying here, but when they see Shen Yuli, they come here as if they smelled dried fish.

Quan Chi rubbed the cat's head: "Xiao Wen, you are so cute."

Shen Yuli slanted his eyes, and warned in a cold voice, "Don't call me by that name."

"All right, all right, superfluous."

"They're all superfluous."

Quan Chi rolled his eyes: "I've convinced you, didn't you come up with the name yourself? It's not allowed to be called now."

Shen Yuli double-marked: "Only I can call you."

"Well, I won't argue with you."

They ate half of their hot pot and were tired. Now it was an intermission. Only Xiong Shaoyue kept chewing like he had never eaten in eight hundred lifetimes.

Feeling so hot, he wanted to reach out to touch the beer next to him, but when Xiong Shaozhuo saw it, he took it away and pushed him a bottle of peach juice.

He withdrew his hand aggrievedly, and muttered: "I'm going to be an adult soon, why don't you let me take a sip?"

"Let's talk about it as an adult."

Boiling Yangyang has suit pants and slippers on his lower body, and a casual hooded sweater on his upper body. There are English letters in the second row on the chest, which he temporarily borrowed from Xiong Shaoyue.

He cheerfully hooked Xiong Shaoyue's neck: "Your brother is too inhumane. He was able to overturn a mahjong table at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but he has the nerve to restrict you. You should learn to protest."

"That's right! You only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps! I protest!"

Xiong Shaozhuo glanced coldly at Boiling Yangyang and asked, "What are you doing back? Go back to your foreign country."

Quan Chi echoed: "Well said, we don't take Mr. Turtle here."

"Fuck you!" He was gearing up, trying to grab Quan Chi's collar: "Come here, let's fight, I've seen you upset!"

Quan Chi stretched out his hand to block it: "Why the hell didn't you find Shaozhuo? Obviously he said it first."

He raised his eyebrows, swept Xiong Shaozhuo's protruding arm muscles, and said righteously: "I can't beat him!"

"roll roll roll!"
