Chapter 27 It seems that I am really afraid of him

Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes slightly.

From his angle, he saw Xu Jialan's long eyelashes trembling slightly due to nervousness, and the fine hairs on his face.

You can tell that she is really nervous.

The man chuckled silently and stopped teasing her.

"I want to ask you, do you want to take a shower now?"

Xu Jialan's mind went blank and he exclaimed.

I don't know if I understood what he said.

Shen Xichuan didn’t expect her to understand.

"If you don't want to wash, I'll go wash first."

After saying that, he slowly withdrew his hand.

The protruding joints on the wrist flashed before Xu Jialan's eyes.

She was stunned.

Shen Xichuan’s eyes fell on the bottle of ice water in her hand, “Drinking too cold water at night is not good for the stomach.”

After saying that, he reached out and took away the bottle of water that had been squeezed into a terrible state.

"Well, it's confiscated."

Xu Jialan: "..."

She grabbed her phone, stood there, and watched Shen Xichuan's careless figure disappear from her eyes.

At this moment, the phone vibrated again.

It was still a message from An Yuening.

Xu Jialan opened his cell phone with a look of despair.

An Yuening asked her why she didn't reply to her message?

Is he really sleeping...

Xu Jialan didn't want to read the words that followed.

She directly sent a frustrated emoticon.

An Yuening must be really free.

He replied immediately.

"What's going on? Why didn't you reply to my message just now?"

Xu Jialan took a deep breath, casually lifted his long hair, and typed with a look of despair on his face.

She told An Yuening concisely that the voice message she had just sent was accidentally heard by the person involved.

An Yuening was shocked. "What the hell? He actually heard it? Then what was his reaction?"

What reaction?

Xu Jialan thought about it and his face was expressionless.

I don’t know whether I’m angry or not.

But what she was sure of was that he was teasing her on purpose.

After An Yuening found out, she was shocked again, "He teased you? Why did he tease you?"

"How should I know?"

Xu Jialan covered his face.

Thinking about how embarrassing she had just done in front of Shen Xichuan, she really wanted to find a piece of tofu to bump into.

An Yuening had little experience, so naturally she couldn't give any advice.

"So are you guys going to sleep together tonight?"

She asked the question again.

Xu Jialan fell silent. "Maybe."

There is only one bedroom and one bed in the house. If they don’t sleep together, how else can they sleep?

What's more, they are already married.

Seeing this, An Yuening didn't say anything else.

After all, this is a matter between a couple.

Xu Jialan sighed and returned to the bedroom.

She looked at the bed and couldn't help but become dazed.

I didn’t even know that Shen Xichuan had finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom.

The man scratched his dripping short hair and his eyes fell on Xu Jialan who was standing in a daze in the bedroom.

He paused slightly and walked over. "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Jialan suddenly heard a sound and turned around in fright, but he didn't pay attention and tripped.

She almost fell to the ground.

Shen Xichuan's eyes flashed, and he reached out to grab her hand and pulled it into his arms.

"Are you okay?"

A slightly deep voice sounded above my head.

Xu Jialan quickly came to his senses and suddenly withdrew his hand that was lightly pressing on the man's chest.

She stood up straight and took two steps back.

It widened the distance between the two of them.

Shen Xichuan curled his fingertips slightly, then withdrew his hand.

Xu Jialan didn't know what to say. Seeing that his hair was still dripping with water, he said, "I...I'll get you a hair dryer."

After saying that, she walked out of the bedroom quickly.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Shen Xichuan’s eyes, and he turned around and looked at her back.

Is he some kind of monster?

Why am I so scared every time I get close to him?

After taking out a hair dryer from the bathroom and giving it to Shen Xichuan, Xu Jialan went to the cloakroom to get a change of pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Shen Xichuan looked at her fleeing back, his eyes slightly raised, and said nothing.

…

Dawdling for half an hour.

Shen Xichuan glanced at the time, closed the book in his hand, stood up and walked out of the study.

He walked to the bathroom door, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

"Lanlan? Are you not done washing yet?"

After a few seconds, Xu Jialan's voice sounded, "Okay."

Shen Xichuan hummed, “Don’t wash for too long, it’s not good for your health.”

Not long after he finished speaking, Xu Jialan opened the bathroom door.

She lowered her head slightly, still not looking at him.

"I...I'm done washing up and going to bed first."

After saying that, she walked around the man and went into the bedroom.

When Shen Xichuan returned to the bedroom, he only saw a slightly raised area on the other side of the bed.

He curled the corners of his mouth helplessly and raised his hand to massage his temples.

It seems that you are really afraid of him?

Why didn't I realize she was so afraid of him before?

The man turned off the light outside before entering the bedroom.

He glanced at Xu Jialan's position and slowed down his movements.

All the lights were turned off, leaving only a dim wall lamp.

The man lifted the air-conditioned quilt and lay on the other side.

Xu Jialan was originally very nervous.

But for some reason, she fell asleep quickly when she smelled the familiar light scent of agarwood.

She didn’t even notice when Shen Xichuan came in.

…

The next day.

Xu Jialan was woken up by the alarm clock.

She turned off the alarm clock out of habit, planning to stay in bed for a while longer.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, but the remaining sleepiness in her heart suddenly disappeared.

Xu Jialan subconsciously opened his eyes and turned his head.

There is no one around.

But you can see at a glance that there are signs of someone sleeping on the area next to it.

It seems that Shen Xichuan really slept next to her last night.

but……

It was clearly the same quilt, but the one on her side was a mess, while the one next to her was relatively smooth.

Xu Jialan pursed his lips, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

She opened the bedroom door and walked out.

The apartment was very quiet, without a sound at all.

Xu Jialan called out tentatively, "Chen...Chen Xichuan?"

No one responded to her.

Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment and walked out of the living room.

There was an insulated box on the dining table with a sticky note on it.

She was stunned for a moment, walked over and picked up the sticky note.

There are words written by Shen Xichuan on it.

"I received an emergency notice, so I didn't wake you up. The box contains breakfast for you. Remember to eat before going to work. - Shen Xichuan"

Xu Jialan's eyes fell on the box.

The lid was transparent, and she could tell at a glance that it contained her favorite buns.

There is also a thermos cup next to it.

No need to guess, it must be filled with soy milk.

Xu Jialan curled the corners of his lips.

She stuck the sticky note on the table, opened the lid, picked up the bun and took a bite.

It has a familiar taste and the temperature is just right.

She drank some soy milk and sent a message to Shen Xichuan, “I saw your breakfast, it’s delicious.”

After sending it, he hesitated for a few seconds, and then sent another one.

"Be safe and come back safely."

Xu Jialan looked at the eight words on the screen.

If being a firefighter is Shen Xichuan's dream, then she only hopes that he can return safely from every mission.
