Chapter 94 Courage
Chapter 94 Courage
Such an embarrassing thing happened, Zhuo Qian was also embarrassed to let Zhuo Rui stay and have dinner with Liu Xu, he hesitated for a while, then whispered: "I'll go back with him later, is that okay?"
I thought Zhuo Rui would be very upset after hearing this answer, but he agreed without thinking about it: "Don't play outside for too long, come back early."
Zhuo Qian nodded quickly.
"Then I'll take Zhuo Fei back first." After Zhuo Rui finished speaking, he left his seat and walked away without even looking at the staring catkin next to him.
Zhuo Fei, who was still taking the child outside, looked up from time to time, and saw her own brother walking out with a sullen face. She hurriedly ran over with the child.
"Brother!" Zhuo Fei's delicate almond eyes sparkled, "Did you call me for dinner?"
Zhuo Rui glanced at her: "Yes."
Zhuo Fei's face was full of surprises, and she was about to walk into the restaurant while holding the child.
Unexpectedly, she had just taken a step when suddenly Zhuo Rui grabbed her other hand.
"Send that child back." Zhuo Rui said, "Let's go back to eat."
The surprise on Zhuo Fei's face froze instantly, and she asked in surprise and hesitation: "Where are you going?"
Zhuo Rui expressionless: "Go home."
Zhuo Fei: "..."
Facing Zhuo Fei who was howling dryly, Zhuo Rui didn't even want to say coaxing words.
At this moment, his mind was really messed up. All the things that happened to Liu Xu were like a pile of messy wool, which completely blocked his nerves. Now he just wants to find a place where there is no one to sit down. , Quietly sort out your thoughts.
Zhuo Fei howled for a long time, causing passers-by to cast strange glances, but Zhuo Rui didn't respond at all. If it was normal, the thin-skinned Zhuo Rui would have blushed a long time ago.
After a while, Zhuo Fei felt ashamed first, she lowered her head, and hurriedly sent the little boy back as if nothing happened.
Liu Xu still wanted to catch up with Zhuo Rui, but considering that he was still with a child, she had to ask Shen Jialan for help.
Shen Jialan refused him mercilessly: "No."
"Jia Lan, help me this time, you can talk about anything in the future." Liu Xu clasped his hands together and begged anxiously, "Or I'll call someone to pick him up, and you can watch it for a while."
Shen Jialan said, "No."
"Only for an hour?"
"No."
"Half an hour!" Liu Xu said, "Is it okay to just watch for half an hour?"
Shen Jialan didn't even bother to talk to him now, and beckoned the waiter to order.
In desperation, Liu Xu could only look to Zhuo Qian for help.
Before Zhuo Qian could react, Shen Jialan stretched out his hand to cover Zhuo Qian's eyes.
Zhuo Qian couldn't see Liu Xu's face, but he could hear the strong displeasure in Shen Jialan's icy voice, Shen Jialan didn't sympathize with Liu Xu's experience at all, "You can't live without your own crimes, I think it's good if he didn't beat you up gone."
Zhuo Qian wanted to laugh when he heard it, and thought that this was indeed in line with Shen Jialan's style of doing things, so he would punch if he disagreed.
"I'll apologize to him well." Liu Xu said listlessly, "I didn't think about it that much at first, I just thought it was fun."
He didn't expect Zhuo Rui to have such a big reaction. If he had known this would be the result, he would not have lied to Zhuo Rui in the first place.
I have to admit that this incident caused him a very strong sense of frustration.
He had dated several boyfriends in the past, although the relationship time with each boyfriend was not long, but they almost broke up in the end. He is used to being the only one who respects himself, and he rarely cares about other people's thoughts, even if he knows his exes He doesn't care about being dissatisfied with himself, this is the first time he cares so much about someone's thoughts, although he doesn't know whether he likes Zhuo Rui or thinks this person is interesting and funny.
Liu Xu was so irritated that he scratched his hair, and he didn't care if he messed up the small knots in his hair. The corners of his eyes were still red, and he looked very pitiful while moaning.
However, Shen Jialan was still unmoved, thinking of the things Liu Xu made up, he still had the urge to beat Liu Xu up to now.
Liu Xu is mean-spirited and can't blame others.
"If you really feel sorry for him, don't go looking for him in the future." Shen Jialan didn't miss the old brotherhood at all, and taunted when it was time to taunt, "Let him go, he will take the college entrance examination next year."
Liu Xu said with difficulty: "But I..."
Shen Jialan raised his eyebrows: "What are you?"
Liu Xu struggled for a long time before saying coyly, "I seem to like him quite a bit."
Shen Jialan said: "But your liking will only cause trouble to him."
Liu Xu was momentarily at a loss for words.
Although he knew in his heart that what Shen Jialan said was right, but he was not reconciled, not reconciled to letting go like this.
He originally didn't plan to come to D City to develop, his home was not in D City, he didn't grow up in D City, and even his future plan didn't have the shadow of D City, but even so, he still bought a house in D City without hesitation. car, and shifted the focus of his work to City D, if he just lets go, then what is the point of everything he has done?
In the end, Liu Xu still didn't chase him out, and he also knew that even if he caught up with Zhuo Rui, he couldn't change Zhuo Rui's opinion of him for the time being.
Liu Xu sighed, and called the waiter to order drinks for the little nephew.
The little nephew lay down on the drink page of the menu for a while, pointed to it with his little hand, and said childishly, "Auntie, I want this."
Holding a pen and paper, the waiter smiled and said, "Is it a glass of passion fruit drink?"
The little nephew couldn't understand what the waiter was saying, so he just nodded solemnly.
On the other hand, Liu Xu said, "Children can't drink ice water, please change it to room temperature water, thank you."
The waiter said yes, and left after writing it down.
"Wait." Shen Jialan suddenly called to the waiter and said, "One more passion fruit drink."
Zhuo Qian hurriedly said: "Add ice, thank you."
Shen Jialan said, "No ice."
Zhuo Qian looked at Shen Jialan dissatisfied: "I want to add ice." The heating in the shopping mall was turned on too high, and he still felt hot after taking off his coat, which was too hot for him.
But Shen Jialan had a firm attitude: "You were still coughing a few days ago, so you can't drink ice."
Zhuo Qian retorted speechlessly: "It's all about Chinese New Year."
While talking, the two of them started arguing like this, but the waiter still listened to Shen Jialan's words, hurriedly ordered two cups of passion fruit drink at room temperature, and then slipped away.
It wasn't until after the meal that Zhuo Qian's anger disappeared, and he dragged Shen Jialan away like a normal person.
Liu Xu led his little nephew and walked behind, watching Zhuo Qian holding Shen Jialan's hand and distracted.
Before leaving the shopping mall, Zhuo Qian took his little nephew to the bathroom.
Liu Xu and Shen Jialan waited in the open space outside the mall.
The winter wind is bitterly cold, and everyone likes to stay in the heated mall, so they can hardly see other passers-by around them.
But tonight is a good night, the hazy moonlight is like a thin veil, covering this sleeping quiet city, and only at this time can one find a quiet place in the bustling city.
Liu Xu lit a cigarette, turned to Shen Jialan and asked, "Do you want it?"
Shen Jialan shook his head.
Liu Xu put the cigarette case back into his pocket, and exhaled a cloud of smoke. Through the thin smoke, he could see his brows furrowed, with a worried look on his face.
But even so, he still didn't forget to tease Shen Jialan: "I'm an adult, don't you know how to smoke?"
Shen Jialan said calmly: "Is there an inevitable connection?"
Hearing this, Liu Xu suddenly took away the hand holding the cigarette, approached Shen Jialan and looked him over carefully.
Shen Jialan remained expressionless and motionless, letting Liu Xu look at him.
After Liu Xu finished reading, she slowly stood up straight and clicked her tongue: "I always thought you were very rational, but I never thought you were also a love brain."
Shen Jialan didn't speak.
Liu Xu gloated and said, "You didn't even go home during the Chinese New Year, which made your grandfather miserable. His old man has traveled more bridges than we have. As long as he does a little research, it's not hard to guess you. Relationship."
Shen Jialan finally made a move, and said, "So what?"
Liu Xu asked, "Aren't you worried?"
Shen Jialan said: "I never intend to hide it from anyone."
Liu Xu smiled: "What if they stop you from being together?"
Shen Jialan said calmly, "They can't influence my decision."
This sentence made Liu Xu stunned for a long time.
Although Shen Jialan is the only legitimate heir of the Shen family, there are many children in the Shen family's collateral lineage, and everyone has been in contact since childhood. There are five or six people who he knows are the same. Those people have no intention of being honest with their families, and some even accept According to the arrangement at home, he went on a blind date with the girl.
Liu Xu is considered to be a more responsible person among these people. He confessed his sexuality to his family and said that he would not delay other girls, but that is all he can do. Subject brought to family.
In the past, Liu Xu always thought that Shen Jialan was a spoiled kid with a bad temper, but she didn't expect this kid to be more courageous than him.
In front of Shen Jialan, he felt ashamed for the first time.
Liu Xu put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. He smiled and patted Shen Jialan on the shoulder: "I really envy your courage."
Shen Jialan took his hand and looked at him with a half-smile: "If you stood in my position, maybe you would have the same courage as me."
Liu Xu was puzzled: "Why?"
"My grandfather did notarization when I was very young. At least [-]% of the property of the Shen family belongs to me. Before I am an adult, I will hand it over to my father. Once I am an adult, I have the right to ask for it back at any time. Something that belongs to me." Shen Jialan narrowed his eyes and smiled very nicely, he patted Liu Xu on the shoulder, "Money is courage."
Liu Xu: "..."
He just wanted to take back what he said about Shen Jialan's courage.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the start of school. After the registration was over, Shen Jialan was picked up by the driver sent by the Shen family.
In the bedroom, Qiao Jie, Luo Ze and Li Jiaran surrounded Zhuo Qian.
"Shen Jialan really stayed at your house for a winter vacation?" Qiao Jie asked incredulously, "How far have you guys developed?"
Zhuo Qian sat on the chair as obediently as a quail, and replied honestly: "Yes, I stayed for a winter vacation."
Qiao Jie pressed on step by step: "What else?"
Zhuo Qian pretended to be stupid: "What else?"
Qiao Jie winked immediately: "How far have you developed?"
Zhuo Qian: "..."
Qiao Jie said: "First base? Second base? Is it a home run? Let me tell you, Qian'er, you have to be careful with this man..."
Before finishing speaking, Luo Ze slapped Qiao Jie on the head, causing Qiao Jie to groan.
"Can you say something useful?" Luo Ze resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and then said to Zhuo Qian, "You'd better be careful, Grandpa Shen Jialan must know about your relationship."
