Chapter 39 This Girl Must Like You

As soon as she met his eyes, the words that Shen Zhiyi was about to say became: "Eat more."

In my heart, I silently said sorry to Shen Zhixian.

But why didn't he arrive for so long?

She looked out twice, feeling a little uneasy.

If Gouxian comes, won’t the truth be revealed?

Xiao Lanting's situation is somewhat embarrassing.

With a roll of her eyes, she immediately stood up and pulled all the curtains in the room to ensure that no one outside could see what was happening inside.

After finishing, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Why are you closing the window?"

There was a flash of lightning in my mind, but I couldn't find a suitable reason. Finally, I squeezed out a rather domineering sentence: "I like it."

Xiao Lanting didn't dwell on the matter. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Did you come here tonight just to bring you food?"

His eyes were full of scrutiny, as if to say: If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

Shen Zhiyi thought it was a misunderstanding.

After thinking for a few seconds, she remembered the text message and said, "There was something wrong with the input method when I sent you the message before. I'm not saying you're sick, I just found it strange and wanted you to go to Xianyun Temple with me."

"Short message?"

Lady Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, looking as if she knew nothing about it.

Then, Shen Zhiyi saw him take out his phone and glance at it.

Shen Zhiyi was relieved. It turned out that he didn’t deliberately not reply to her, but was too busy to check his phone.

She stared at his face hopefully and asked, "Let's set off together at eight o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"That's not necessary." Xiao Lanting's lips curled slightly, his face gentle, "It's not a big deal, don't worry about it, I'll be fine."

This is rejecting her.

Shen Zhiyi was unwilling to give up, and could not help but move closer to his position, like a groundhog, with two paws lying on his arm, his eyes emitting a light of expectation, "Teacher, just think of it as satisfying my curiosity, let's go once? Xianyunguan has beautiful scenery, it's worth a trip."

It doesn’t matter to others, but Xiao Lanting is her family’s benefactor, and... he has feelings for her, so she can’t just ignore it.

Xiao Lanting let her cling to his arm and act coquettishly, but remained indifferent. He ate his food slowly and leisurely. At the end, he put down his chopsticks and suddenly said, "It's still early. Tell me about the problem with your last homework."

Shen Zhiyi suddenly paused, loosened his claws and five fingers, and his eyes dodged.

Two seconds later, a cunning idea came to mind.

She grabbed her chopsticks and stuffed food into her mouth, saying nonchalantly, "I've already failed the course, so it doesn't matter. However, if you're willing to go to Xianyun Temple with me, I'd be happy to cooperate with your teaching."

Xiao Lanting's smile was tinged with helplessness. "Who promised me last time that I would be a good student?"

Shen Zhiyi’s back stiffened.

Soon, she felt the pressure approaching from her side. Although she didn't look back, she seemed to see the man's smiling fox eyes.

"Are you kidding me?" His voice sounded in her ears, and his warm breath gently brushed against her earlobe, causing a hot feeling.

Shen Zhiyi was numb.

My ears were numb, my hands were numb, and even my heart was numb to the point of being unbearable.

She wanted to complain, but the old man flirted with her!

Just then, her cell phone rang.

"Dad, I have to answer a phone call."

Her father called and told her to go back quickly because he had something important to discuss.

She deliberately put the phone on hold so that Xiao Lanting could hear it too.

After hanging up the phone, she turned back to face him with a giggle.

Xiao Lanting didn't make things difficult for her. He stood up and searched under the table for a long time, and sorted out the information in a file bag.

He waved at her: "Here, the reward for this meal."

Shen Zhiyi took the thing in his hand in confusion: "Reward?"

"Tell uncle that the food is delicious."

Shen Zhiyi nodded randomly, his mind completely focused on the information in the file bag.

An ominous feeling came over me...

When the information bag was opened, her pupils trembled slightly.

Sure enough, it’s another advanced math problem!

"Teacher, there's no need to be so..."

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends. Don't slack off. Leave it to me next Monday."

His voice was refreshing and light, forming a sharp contrast with Shen Zhiyi's heavy heart.

She was almost petrified on the spot, so much so that she didn't even notice when he rubbed her head twice.

"Go back and let me know you're safe when you get home."

Shen Zhiyi looked depressed and wanted to ask the man for a favor and have him do fewer questions, but when she turned around, the man was gone.

She walked to the door and looked out, just in time to see him leading a few people into a conference room.

After being melancholy for a few seconds, Shen Zhiyi regained his energy.

She quickly put the almost finished meal into the lunch box. Before leaving, she went to the convenience store downstairs to buy a sandwich and brought it to Shen Zhixian's office before leaving.

As soon as she left, Shen Zhixian stepped into the company.

At this moment, he grabbed the lonely sandwich on the table, looking doubtful about his life.

“Shen Zhiyi, is this the meal you brought me?”

Shen Zhiyi voice: "I made it specially, if you don't like it, just throw it away."

"Oh, you went to learn how to make it from the lady who owns the convenience store downstairs, didn't you?" The man gritted his teeth and gave a sinister smile.

Perhaps Shen Zhiyi sensed it, and immediately played dead and didn't reply to the message.

Shen Zhixian pinched the sandwich gloomily, took a bite after a while, and strode out.

I just heard a few female employees who were packing up and getting ready to leave gossip.

"I never expected that it was Mr. Xiao who got single first. I always thought it was Mr. Shen. I was careless."

"No way, I don't believe it."

"You still don't believe it? We just saw it. They personally brought the food over and even drew the curtains before eating. They must be flirting with each other!"

After listening to the gossip, Shen Zhixian walked towards the meeting room.

Several employees came out holding documents and greeted him.

Xiao Lanting was the only one inside, thinking in front of the computer.

"Boss Xiao, you're quite capable." He walked over with a smile and ate the sandwich in one gulp. "I heard you're in a relationship?"

Xiao Lanting didn't raise his eyes, and said calmly: "Staying up for three days and three nights, only to wake up and eat a sandwich? How miserable."

"Mr. Xiao is so lucky that he has people offering him food when he's hungry. I'm all alone and can only eat this."

He sat down casually and asked with a smile, "Which girl is so unlucky?"

Xiao Lanting closed his computer and said seriously, "It's not the kind of relationship you think."

"Don't give me that."

Xiao Lanting was silent.

Having been brothers for many years, Shen Zhixian quickly put aside his doubts and said, "You don't like her, but she must like you, believe it or not?"

He analyzed it logically, "Girls' feelings are very subtle and they usually won't express them out loud. They can find sweet happiness in all kinds of details, like having dinner with you. She drew the curtains, didn't she? Because she wanted to be alone with you. This may be a normal thing for you, but for her, she has probably replayed it in her mind a thousand times. Having dinner with you is like realizing her dream."

Xiao Lanting leaned back, his brows and eyes warm, "Nonsense."

Shen Zhixian sneered and laughed out loud: "Believe it or not, anyway, when a girl confesses her love to you, just don't get scared."

"If you still don't believe me, just tell her you're going on a blind date and see how she reacts."

Xiao Lanting didn't reply, but his expression was no longer as dull as before, and his eyes were filled with thoughts.

The image of Shen Zhiyi occasionally blushing in front of him emerged in his mind.
