Chapter 366: What a protagonist halo
Running back and forth in the amusement park with a group of young people was a bit overwhelming for Xu Si.
He didn't dare to follow any of the rides behind him. He waited outside alone, looking for an opportunity to chat with Shu Huai alone. Finally, he saw Shu Huai going to the toilet alone, so he hurriedly followed him in. Fu Jingshen came again.
"Mr. Xu, it's boring to play with us, right?" Fu Jingshen asked Xu Si while washing his hands.
Xu Si looked at Shu Huai beside him. Such a good opportunity was ruined again.
Shu Huai's identity was still uncertain, so he didn't want more people to know. He wanted to talk to Shu Huai alone, but none of them gave him a chance, as if they were deliberately guarding against him.
"It's not boring. Being with you young people makes me feel ten years younger." Xu Si responded to Fu Jingshen with a smile. After drying his hands, he patted Fu Jingshen's arm. "Besides, it also allowed me to get to know you better, Xiao Fu."
There was something else behind his words. What he wanted to know was not Fu Jingshen, but Shu Huai.
Fu Jingshen pretended not to understand and smiled, "That's good. I was afraid that Mr. Xu would be bored. Shu Huai, are you done washing? Let's go out. Don't let your sister wait outside for too long."
"good."
Shu Huai wiped the moisture off his hands and quickly caught up with Fu Jingshen.
Xu Si had to look for the next opportunity.
"Are you hungry?" Passing by the restaurant, there was already a long line at the door. Fu Jingshen glanced at his phone and found that it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
"A little bit, but there are too many people queuing up." Shu Yue touched her stomach, which was growling with hunger.
Fu Jingshen glanced at Xu Si who was still looking for an opportunity to chat with Shu Huai alone, "It's okay, let's line up and let the oldest and youngest take seats. We have to give them a chance to be alone, otherwise Xu Si will get suspicious."
Shu Yue nodded, "That's true."
"Shu Huai, take Mr. Xu to reserve a seat, and we'll go line up to order." After Shu Yue said this, she pulled Fu Jingshen to line up.
Shu Ziming quickly realized what they were planning and said to Xu Mengyun next to him, "Let's go and queue up too."
"I'm tired and I want to sit down and rest. You guys can go ahead. I should have your friend there. I'll send you what I want to eat." After walking for a whole morning, Xu Mengyun felt that her feet were so weak that they didn't belong to her. If she didn't have to pay attention to her image, she would have wanted to sit down on the ground.
That won’t work. We need to leave Xu Si and Shu Huai some separate space. Xu Mengyun can’t stay here.
"How can a young person say he is tired? Let's go line up together. I still have a lot to talk to you about." Shu Ziming wanted to take Xu Mengyun away quickly, but as soon as he approached her, Qu Lin glanced at him with dissatisfaction, and Shu Ziming did not move.
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about the gossip that happened in the circle after I left."
Speaking of gossip, Xu Mengyun's eyes lit up. "Okay, I have no one to complain about. Let's go."
This time she took the initiative to queue up. If she went, Qu Lin would go too, and Xu Xiaoliu would naturally go too if he wanted to serve everyone.
Xu Si could not hide his joy when he saw that they had all left.
Finally he found the opportunity.
"Xiao Huai, let's find a place to sit and wait for them." Xu Si called Xiao Huai in a particularly intimate way, which gave Shu Huai goose bumps.
"Mr. Xu, let's go sit over there." Shu Huai was the first to find the dining table on the terrace and walked over.
The two people sat face to face, and the atmosphere was extremely subtle. Xu Si wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn't know where to start without scaring Shu Huai.
"I see you like this ring very much. How about I give it to you?" Xu Si tentatively took off the ring on his hand and put it on the table, wanting to see Shu Huai's reaction.
Shu Huai stared at the ring with burning eyes, "Are you really giving it to me, Mr. Xu?"
"Really, can I still tell a lie?"
With Xu Si's words, Shu Huai reached out without hesitation, took the ring on the table and put it in his pocket. His movements were so quick that Xu Si was stunned.
This kid is really rude.
"Are you so sure that this ring belongs to your old friend?" Xu Si took the opportunity to talk about Chen Xinyi.
Shu Huai replied calmly, "Of course, I've seen this ring too many times. I can recognize it at a glance from a distance." He rubbed the ring with his hand in his pocket and found that there were patterns engraved inside, but they were too small to tell whether they were patterns or words. However, such commemorative items usually have names or anniversaries engraved on them.
"This ring has words engraved on it. How can you be sure that it is the one of your old friend without even taking a look at it?" Xu Si was still testing him.
Shu Huai lowered his eyes and thought, "My old friend's one is also engraved with words."
"What is engraved?" Xu Si asked.
"Name, her name." Shu Huai had no idea what was engraved on it, so he decided to take a gamble. He bet that the name engraved on the ring was Chen Xinyi's. He had a 50% chance of winning.
There was a subtle change in Xu Si's expression.
"So I'm still very curious, what is your relationship with Chen Xinyi?"
When he asked this question, Shu Huai knew that he had made the right bet. The name engraved was Chen Xinyi's, but it was hard to say about the relationship. He had to think carefully about how to start the conversation.
"She is my closest family member." Shu Huai thought for a long time and then said this.
This sentence is very ambiguous, and Xu Si can think whatever he wants.
He had long thought that Shu Huai might be Chen Xinyi's son, so when he heard this, he naturally made the connection.
"She has been dead for so many years. Have you been alone in the Shu family? Were you taken in by them?" Xu Si's eyes softened when he looked at Shu Huai.
Chen Xinyi concealed the existence of Fu Heming back then. Tang Wanru didn't find out, and Xu Si naturally didn't find out either. Of course, this is a setting to hide the male protagonist's life experience, otherwise Xu Si would not have suspected Shu Huai.
It was easy to find out that Shu Huai was an adopted son, but his real identity as the son of Shu's father's driver was not made public, which created an information gap that misled Xu Si.
"I grew up in the Shu family and am the adopted son of the Shu family."
Xu Si sighed deeply, "No wonder, no wonder I didn't know you. I didn't see you at Xinyi's funeral. She protected you very well."
Shu Huai lowered his head, fearing that if he looked at Xu Si any longer his concentration would fail.
He obviously started to make up some fictitious plots in his mind.
"Then do you know who your father is?" Xu Si asked again.
Shu Huai shook his head, "I don't know."
Xu Si's eyes lit up again and again, and he reached out to Shu Huai, "Then would you be willing to give me a strand of your hair?"
hair?
Is he going to do a paternity test?
Could it be that Fu Heming’s biological father is not Fu Ji Yang but Xu Si?
Is this the male protagonist’s halo?
After Fu Ji Yang fell, Xu Si came along, also a big shot.
The Fu family recognized the relative but could not inherit the family business, so they changed their career path?
At this moment, Shu Huai truly felt the power brought by the so-called protagonist halo, but he could never give his hair to Xu Si, because he was definitely not Xu Si's son.
Just when I was wondering how to break the impasse, Shu Yue and the others came with food.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. There are always a lot of people at dinner time."
