Wen Qiao shook her head. "No, I definitely believe what you say, sir. It was indeed my fault for being so concerned about others using your bathroom before; I shouldn't have used it secretly."
Shen Jichuan interrupted Wen Qiao directly, saying, "I'm sorry, I've wronged you."
Why did you say that?
I suddenly heard him say that.
Wen Qiao's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She didn't feel wronged, but hearing him say those words made her feel inexplicably...uncomfortable.
Moreover, it's about being genuinely cared for.
It seems that this was unprecedented for Wen Qiao.
She turned her head away, not daring to meet Shen Jichuan's gaze.
She quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, then turned and smiled.
"It's all in the past. Besides, this house is yours to begin with, so you don't need to apologize to anyone."
Shen Jichuan truly meant what he said, not touching her. Their initial kiss was Shen Jichuan's impulsive act. After they talked things out, Wen Qiao considered pushing Shen Jichuan away and making him leave.
As Shen Jichuan left, he cupped Wen Qiao's face and kissed her forehead.
He whispered another "I'm sorry."
This made Wen Qiao's mentality a little unbearable.
Why did Shen Jichuan suddenly become so good?
Could it be that her previous seduction had worked, making Shen Jichuan's heart flutter?
Wen Qiao kept thinking about this question on her way to night school.
She actively seduced Shen Jichuan because Shen Jichuan treated her very badly.
Wen Qiao had always felt that Shen Jichuan was the same kind of person as Shen Haiyang.
But the current Shen Jichuan is someone she doesn't understand at all, and can't fathom.
After her night school class ended, Wen Qiao deliberately stayed a little longer.
By the time I got home, it was already nine o'clock.
She went up to the second floor in the dark, thinking that everyone was asleep.
Li Ling must have already gone to bed.
As for Shen Jichuan, Wen Qiao wasn't sure about his schedule; he sometimes stayed in the military dormitory.
She might not be home tonight, but she was still being cautious, better safe than sorry.
They had just reached the second floor when they suddenly heard the door across the hall open.
Shen Jichuan was wearing a gray pajama set, trousers, and a short-sleeved shirt, with a buzz cut.
The room was dimly lit, and Wen Qiao couldn't see Shen Jichuan's face clearly.
But you can still see his outline clearly; he still has a stern face and doesn't smile.
Before Wen Qiao could speak, Shen Jichuan asked:
Why are you back so late today?
Wen Qiao subconsciously took a step back and explained softly, "The teacher assigned homework, and I came back after I finished it."
Shen Jichuan hummed in agreement.
But he still reminded her, "Try to come back earlier in the future. It's not safe for a woman to be alone at night."
Wen Qiao nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing her standing quietly and obediently in place, Shen Jichuan wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't know how to say them.
After hesitating for a moment, he told Wen Qiao that he wanted to give her something.
Wen Qiao looked up and met Shen Jichuan's gaze as he sized her up, and he handed her something.
It's a very exquisite box.
Wen Qiao opened it and saw that it was an exquisite fountain pen.
"You... are you going to give this to me?" This was the first time Wen Qiao had ever received a gift from someone. She had to admit that the gift from Shen Jichuan really touched her heart.
