Shitou blinked: "Why are you so late again?"
This time it was Shen Siyue’s turn to roll her eyes at him: “This is my house, I can show up here anytime, right?”
Shitou touched his nose awkwardly and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant that it's cold outside at night and it's not safe. You're a girl..."
Shen Siyue waved and interrupted him: “I brought a knife with me when I went out, so you should worry less.”
"Here, this is the pancake I made. I know this little bit of food is definitely not worth the work you did, but it's a token of my appreciation."
After saying that, he forced the small basket on his arm into Shitou's hand.
Shi Tou lifted the cloth curtain, revealing neatly arranged golden cornmeal cakes.
He immediately picked one up and put it in his mouth, then smiled at Shen Siyue and said, “Sweet.”
This one word made Shen Siyue blush.
It’s made of ordinary cornmeal and there’s no sugar in it, so how can it be sweet?
She didn't expect that this young man from the sixties was just as good as modern people in saying sweet words.
Shen Siyue glared, and said angrily: “If you talk nonsense again, don’t come to me in the future.”
Seeing that Shen Siyue was really a little angry, Shitou immediately panicked: “No more, no more, don’t be angry, I was confused just now.”
Shen Siyue felt that she had to explain it to him clearly, otherwise it would not be a good thing if she always enjoyed other people's help in such an unclear way.
So I said to him with a serious face: "I told you last time, I have no plans to start a family now. We can be friends, but nothing else."
Shen Siyue's decisive tone made Shitou pause in holding the cornmeal pancake.
The joy that had just touched my heart when the person I loved sent me food was put out like a small flame under heavy rain, and it was gone before even a wisp of smoke could emerge.
But then he forced a smile and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Then the two people stood face to face for a while, and no one spoke.
After a long while, Shen Siyue finally said, “Then put the things down! I’ll find someone to do it when spring comes.”
This was the result of her tossing and turning last night and thinking all night.
I accepted his help against my conscience before, and I couldn't give him the response he wanted. I always felt guilty for using him as a backup.
Shen Siyue despised her behavior very much.
Trash, such a scumbag.
So today I want to cut the Gordian knot.
I would rather have some trouble in the spring than continue to owe favors to others.
Shi Tou was panicked, he didn't expect that everything was fine the day before, how come after one day, Shen Siyue didn't even want him to help.
So I quickly asked her, "Is there someone else gossiping about you behind your back?"
Apart from this, Shi Tou couldn’t think of any other reason why Shen Siyue suddenly changed her mind.
Shen Siyue shook her head: “No, it’s not because of this, no one is gossiping.”
Shitou was puzzled: "Why is that?"
Shen Siyue scratched her head irritably, how to say such a thing?
She organized her thoughts for a long time before she said, "I don't have any feelings for you right now, do you understand?"
"You help me like this, and it makes me feel like you're taking advantage of me. Do you understand what I mean?"
Shitou looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "I understand. What you mean is that you don't like me? So you are embarrassed to accept my help, right?"
Shen Siyue frowned and thought about it, and felt that it was not wrong to say so, so she nodded at him.
Shitou smiled and said, "Then I feel relieved. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Just be thick-skinned!"
Shen Siyue: ...
What's the reason for this?
Why do I feel like it would be more reasonable for me to say this?
Shen Siyue: “No, it’s not a question of thickness or not, or let me put it another way, try to think about it, if you have been helping me, always helping me, but suddenly one day, I married someone else, what would you think in your heart?”
Any normal person would feel wronged and angry!
I have been giving silently, but the person I like has married someone else.
Shen Siyue just brought this matter to the surface in advance, hoping that he would see the reality as soon as possible.
Shi Tou, on the other hand, looked at Shen Siyue and touched his nose: “I might have two ideas.”
Shen Siyue stared at him and asked, “Which two ideas?”
Stone: "First, I'll take you back."
Shen Siyue rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: “Next.”
"Second, how about a share of the money?" Shi Tou said cautiously, looking at Shen Siyue.
“You…” Shen Siyue pointed at the stone angrily.
This sounds like a joke.
Seeing that she was angry, Shitou had to admit his mistake: "I was just kidding, just kidding, don't be angry, I know what you mean."
"You don't like me, so you don't want to accept my help. You're afraid that I'll be angry or regret it if you marry someone else in the future."
Seeing that he knew it very well, Shen Siyue said, "Why are you still doing this if you know all this?"
Shitou pursed his lips and asked Shen Siyue seriously: “So do you have someone you like now?”
Shen Siyue shook her head.
Shitou breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't that enough? I told you last time that you shouldn't feel any psychological burden no matter what I do."
"As long as I don't disrupt your current life, just treat me as an ordinary neighbor."
"Neighbors help each other, isn't that what we should do?"
"Speaking of the question you just mentioned, even after I did so much, you still ended up marrying someone else. That must be because I didn't do well enough, and it has nothing to do with you."
"You can reject me, but you can't force me to dislike you!"
Shen Siyue was stunned by Shitou's long speech, and her heart was pounding.
If he were to change into a different suit and the scene, wouldn't he look like a typical domineering boss?
Shen Siyue raised her head and looked at him carefully. To be honest, Shi Tou's appearance was indeed quite in line with Shen Siyue's aesthetics.
Big eyes, high nose bridge, slightly sexy thin lips...
Plus he has a stronger body than others.
Shen Siyue quickly retracted her gaze and swallowed secretly.
I kept reminding myself in my heart: I don’t even have enough food to eat and I haven’t found a place to live yet, so I must not be tempted by beauty!
At this time, Shitou comforted her again: "It's normal for a man to pursue a woman and show his affection to her!"
"There are only two possible outcomes: one is successful, and the other is not. I can figure it out. Why are you still worried about it?"
Shen Siyue looked at him: “You are quite open-minded.”
Shitou bared his teeth and said, "How can a prime minister hold a boat in his stomach?"
Shen Siyue was amused by his rogueness: “So, I just need to accept your help with peace of mind?”
