Chapter 160: Daily Life in a Sea of Jealousy
He stood at the door for a long time, and the two people, one big and one small, sitting at the table did not notice her.
Si Xu: "..." After waiting for a moment, someone who was not receiving attention coughed loudly, reminding Jiang Ran that he was back.
Jiang Ran turned around and looked at him: "Si Xu, are you guys done talking?"
Si Xu was about to reply when Shen Youyou, who was dipping dumplings in sauce, lost control of her strength and the dumplings fell into the sauce dish, splashing the sauce all over her clothes.
The little girl looked down at her clothes with a dazed expression.
Jiang Ran quickly pulled out a tissue to help her wipe it, and did not forget to comfort her softly: "Be careful next time, it's hard to wash the sauce splashed on clothes, baby, come, wipe your hands clean too, stretch out your hands..."
Si Xu, who was ignored again: "..."
What did she call her? Baby?
How could she do this?! How long had they known each other? Could someone just casually call him "baby"? She'd never even called him that before...
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. The man stood there in a daze, staring at the other test subject with murderous intent on his face.
Jiang Ran didn't feel anything, but Shen Youyou clearly felt the murderous aura coming towards him.
She shrank her body and crawled into Jiang Ran's arms, trying to avoid Si Xu's eye attack.
The soft and sticky dumpling rolled into his arms. Jiang Ran thought she was acting coquettishly, and his voice became gentler: "I don't mean to blame you, don't be afraid..."
Scared? Si Xu gritted his teeth. How could A117 possibly be afraid? She was a puppet created by the Shen family. She had no heart, no thoughts, and could only obey orders. Even if the Shen family told her to die, she would break her own neck without hesitation—how could such a thing be afraid?!
The resentment behind him grew stronger, and Jiang Ran finally noticed something.
She turned around and looked at Si Xu, who was surrounded by a low pressure, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have ignored him for a long time.
She looked over and saw that he could no longer hide the grievance on his face. He snorted angrily, turned and walked into the room, slamming the door shut.
With a bang.
Shen Youyou in Jiang Ran's arms trembled with fear.
This guy is really... Jiang Ran found it funny, but after laughing, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
She pinched Shen Youyou's bun and asked her softly, "Are you full, Youyou?"
Shen Youyou nodded.
"I'll show you your room, okay?"
Nodded again.
Jiang Ran took her to the guest room next to the master bedroom: "This is your room - before Chen Bai comes to pick you up, you will sleep here alone. Will you be scared?"
She acted naive, like a newborn baby. When Jiang Ran talked to her, he naturally returned to the state of facing those young children in the orphanage.
Shen Youyou shook her head and climbed onto the bed and sat down obediently.
"Do you have any work next? Stay at home? Or go out and explore the base?"
Shen Youyou patted the bed sheet under her, indicating that she wanted to stay at home.
"Well, I'll find you something to pass the time."
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, she went to Si Xu's study to look around and took out a puzzle from the drawer of the bookcase.
"This, I saw Sister Shen Yao playing with you last time." Jiang Ran put the box on the bed and opened it carefully. "Can you play it again?"
Seeing the puzzle, Shen Youyou's eyes sparkled and she nodded.
"It seems like you like it very much." Jiang Ran opened the box and poured the scattered parts onto the bed. He took out the instruction manual and said, "Here is the instruction manual. Do you want to see it?"
Shen Youyou took the instruction manual, read it carefully for a while, then looked at the puzzle pieces scattered on the bed, hesitantly picked up two pieces and began to find a place.
This kid really loves puzzles.
Jiang Ran played with her for a while, then stood up and said, "You play here, I'll go take a look next door."
Shen Youyou held the puzzle, looked at her, and nodded.
"So good." Jiang Ran pinched her fair and tender face. "If you want anything, come find me next door."
Shen Youyou nodded again.
Jiang Ran left the room and closed the door gently.
After sending Jiang Ran away, Shen Youyou's attention returned to the puzzle. The little girl lay on the bed, carefully studying the pattern on the instructions and the pile of pieces in front of her.
…
In the room, Si Xu sat by the window, staring at the figures walking back and forth on the street, his eyes unfocused and his mind absent-minded.
Fifteen minutes passed and Jiang Ran still hadn't come to coax him.
She wasn't like this before. In the past, if he showed any sign of unhappiness, she would immediately comfort him and even kiss him... But today, fifteen minutes had passed and she hadn't come.
Does she not like him anymore?
Gu Yunqing once said that women's minds are fickle and they might become disappointed in someone because of the smallest thing. So it's even more important to pay attention to their mood changes at all times, otherwise they might be abandoned if they are not careful...
Is Jiang Ran going to abandon him?
She was going to abandon him...
Thinking of this possibility, the man's eyes froze and he was completely stunned.
Fortunately, before he could overwhelm himself with his wild thoughts, the door was gently pushed open.
"Si Xu." The little girl walked in briskly, stopped beside him, and poked his arm with her hand. "What are you looking at?"
Si Xu turned slightly sideways and ignored her.
Jiang Ran walked around to the other side and continued to poke his arm: "Si Xu, are you unhappy?"
She even asked him if he was unhappy. Wasn't it obvious enough? He was very unhappy!
Si Xu glanced at her indifferently and still ignored her.
Although he tried hard to appear calm, Jiang Ran could see deep resentment in his eyes, like a cat neglected by its owner.
Jiang Ran pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
She reached out and hugged him, rubbing her cheek against his chest: "Si Xu, if you are unhappy, tell me, otherwise I don't know how to comfort you."
The soft body fell into his arms, and Si Xu subconsciously put his arms around her.
After coming to his senses, he wanted to let go and throw the person out, but he hesitated for a long time and couldn't bear to do so.
Still angry after thinking about it, he pinched the girl's waist, picked her up and pressed her against the wall.
The sudden loss of weight startled Jiang Ran. She instinctively raised her legs and hooked them around his waist, hanging on him like an octopus.
"Jiang Ran." He called her name in a deep voice.
This posture was too ambiguous. Jiang Ran twisted her body uncomfortably and responded with a sound.
"Do you remember what you said to me before?"
She had said so much to him, what was he referring to?
"You said," he stared at her, "I am your one and only, irreplaceable."
How could she forget these words?
"Yes, I remember."
It turns out she still remembers.
He asked aggrievedly, "Is it still the case now?"
"Of course." She kissed his cheek, "Now, forever, and forever."
"Then how can you call someone 'babe' so casually?" He began to accuse, "You touch her head, eat what she feeds you, ignore me, don't listen to me... Jiang Ran, don't you like me anymore?"
Jiang Ran leaned on his shoulder, listening to his accusations one by one, suppressing her laughter: "Si Xu, Youyou is still a child, and a little girl at that. I look at her like my own sister."
"But she's not your sister!" Unable to find comfort, the man launched into childish personal attacks. "She's just a puppet, a test subject. She won't know even if you treat her well."
Jiang Ran felt that his hostility towards Youyou was too strong, and helplessly said: "Si Xu, she is just like you. Although she is a test subject, she is also a human being, and she also has human joys, sorrows, anger and happiness..."
So in her eyes, he was just like that puppet?!
Si Xu stood there, feeling as if he had been hit on the head with a blow, which stunned him.
"I'm different from that guy!" Someone interrupted Jiang Ran sternly and said, "Jiang Ran, don't you like me anymore?"
Unexpectedly, his reaction was so intense that Jiang Ran was stunned by his fierceness. She didn't know how she had broken the glass heart of this villain boss. She could only hug him tightly and emphasize: "Nonsense, I love you the most. Even if I die, I will not dislike you. I..."
Before she finished speaking, Si Xu lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
Although they are experimental subjects, Youyou and Sixu are completely different. The specific differences will be explained later. This is also the reason why Sixu doesn't like Jiang Ran comparing him with Youyou.
