Facing Zhu Jin's stunned gaze, Ishigami Bai looked away.

Originally, he also thought that Zhu Jin would be happier and live a more carefree life if she was with someone like Chonglou, but now it seems that it was just his wishful thinking.

Zhu Jin was speechless to Shi Shangbai. In the past, they had a lot to talk about, all scattered and without any focus, but now they were never so silent when they met.

Ishigami Bai stood there for a moment and was about to leave. Zhu Jin saw him move and finally couldn't help asking, "Why do you say that my life is going backwards?"

"Go back and look in the mirror and see what you look like." Ishigami Bai turned around and glanced at her. "I always thought you were decisive, but I didn't expect you to be so hesitant."

“…I also feel that my life is getting worse and worse.” Zhu Jin was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he smiled bitterly and continued.

"It's good that you know it yourself. I'm leaving first." Ishigami Bai said immediately when he saw that she had finally come to her senses.

"Wait a minute..." Zhu Jin called out hurriedly.

"I don't want to be your confidant brother." Ishigami Kashiwa paused and turned back.

"I don't want to either!" Zhu Jin choked and frowned and immediately replied. Looking at Shi Shangbai's expression, he couldn't help but mutter, "Besides, at your age, you are not a brother..." He is obviously a close nephew! Zhu Jin's voice was very low, but Shi Shangbai still heard it. Of course, he didn't know that Zhu Jin didn't say the word nephew, and thought it was uncle or something like that. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Then what do you want me to do? Are you trying to tell me that you are in love with me?" "Why do you always talk about love..." Zhu Jin felt the same way as Ishigami Bai after hearing this.

"If you don't say it out loud, how will others know?" Ishigami Bai quickly replied. If you say it out loud, you will be let down, let alone if you don't say it out loud...

After answering the question, I was stunned for a moment and felt embarrassed.

Half a year ago, Chonglou, who had been missing for half a year, returned. He treated Zhu Jin the same way, and Zhu Jin treated him the same way. After hearing Zhu Jin's words "I'm sorry", he finally made up his mind to stay away.

In the end, I couldn't express my feelings.

Zhu Jin didn't need to say sorry, but she appeared in front of him like this, and he looked at her... very dissatisfied.

Shi Shangbai's face was stiff. Zhu Jin looked at him and smiled, then suddenly said, "Actually, you don't have to be like this. If you really don't want to... like me, maybe it would be better to live an ordinary life. You are even more unable to let it go now."

Zhu Jin never thought that one day she would say such words to a man.

"How can you guarantee that I will be able to let it go if everything goes on as normal?" Shi Shangbai was stunned by Zhu Jin's words, and after a moment he looked away and asked calmly.

Without waiting for Zhu Jin to reply, he continued, "Yes, my reaction was a bit too big, and it made me look even more petty. Let's just live it normally from now on."

I didn't try to avoid her on purpose. After seeing her and Chonglou together for so many times, I finally let it go.

"Yes." Zhu Jin nodded, "Thank you for the message you sent through Shi Wei."

Whether it is choosing a school or anything else, what Shi Wei says is what he says.

Shi Shangbai glanced at her and simply walked back a few steps to talk to her through the fence, "Helian Zhen has been very close to the Li family recently, and his behavior is exactly the same as when he was a princess. They are now eager to take over the position of princess."

Zhu Jin nodded helplessly, "I saw it on the news these days."

"According to the current situation, the Li family will support Helian Zhen to restore the throne. If Helian Zhen restores the throne, it won't be long before the queen is sidelined and abdicates. If Helian Zhen succeeds the queen and cooperates with the Li family, the Li family and she will be active for at least eight years. Eight years is a long time, and by then, Helian Zhen's position will be extremely stable." Shi Shangbai glanced at Zhu Jin.

"Is there no other suitable person? It's always Helian Zhen, Helian Zhen..." Zhu Jin was helpless. According to Helian Zhen's personality, she was still not at ease with her, and might deal with her again at that time.

"I don't know about that, but..." Ishigami Kashiwa had a strange expression on his face, "Lian Hui'er is back as a reporter for the Interstellar Alliance news media."

"Lian Huier?" Zhu Jin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"It's her, and Lian Chengze will come back this time too. He won't leave in the short term. I think they came prepared. With his power and influence in the army, if they really set their sights on the position of princess, they will be evenly matched with Helian Zhen who has the support of the Li family."

Zhu Jin thought it was good, however, "...Lian Huier's previous negative impact..." She stopped talking. In fact, if she really had the ability to operate, Lian Huier's previous affairs would not be a big deal at all.

"Their goals are most likely the same. As long as their goals are the same, it's a good thing." Ishigami Bai also knew that Zhu Jin had thought through what he said.

"It would be best if Lian Hui'er and her daughter's goal was really just the princess." Zhu Jin thought, she was afraid there was a bigger goal, but now she couldn't see anything.

"At least that's the case now." Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin who had finally regained some spirits and curled his lips, then stopped talking. "I'll leave first."

"Oh, okay." Zhu Jin nodded, thinking of his strange expression when he mentioned Lian Hui'er before, she asked curiously, "Have you and Lian Hui'er known each other before?"

"I don't know him!" Ishigami Bai answered without hesitation, turned around and left without looking back.

Zhu Jin looked at Shi Shangbai's back as he fled in panic, and seemed to be thinking about something. She had originally just asked a simple question, but unexpectedly there seemed to be some circumstances.

I don’t know what it is... Zhu Jin thought about continuing to weed, her movements became much slower, and there was less hesitation between her brows.

Ishigami Bai walked a long way before he looked back, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he couldn't see Zhu Jin.

It was actually a coincidence that he knew Lian Huier had returned. A few days ago, there were some changes in his position and he took a small step forward. When he was attending a meeting with the Secretary of State for Affairs, he accidentally saw Lian Huier and almost lost his composure.

As soon as he saw Lian Huier, Shi Shangbai's skin tightened, and his whole body tensed up and automatically entered a state of preparation for battle. His feet were itching and he had the urge to run.

No matter how intellectual, gentle and beautiful Lian Huier's smile was, it could not erase the deep impression she left in his mind.

Shrews, especially powerful ones, are so scary...

The pain when I went to fight her with Shi Wei and ended up being beaten back by her, and Lian Huier’s madness at that time are still fresh in my memory!

Ishigami Kashiwa tried hard to suppress the instinct to run away. Even though it was really useless and powerless, he had to accept the fact that he had a psychological trauma about a woman.

Not knowing whether Shi Wei, who was beaten with him at the time, had any trauma, Shi Shangbai felt that he needed to investigate.

That night, Shi Shangbai seemed to be watching news video footage in the living room casually. Shi Wei glanced at it casually, then suddenly stood up, staring at the screen with his fists clenched.

"What's wrong?" Ishigami Kashiwa asked casually, trying hard to hold back his laughter.

"It's okay..." Shi Wei swallowed and sat back stiffly. "Dad, isn't this reporter the one we beat up Lian Huier with? She was really... scary back then."

"Well, it's called the 'shrew' state." Ishigami Kashiwa explained leisurely.

"... shrews are really bad..." Shi Wei muttered, thinking that he should find a gentle and gentle girlfriend in the future, and stay away from her immediately if she shows any signs of being a shrew! Shi Wei just thought about it, and heard his father say, "Shrews are bad, but most women in the world will enter the 'shrew' state from time to time when they are stimulated, especially when they are stimulated by men."

"Do many women do that?" Shi Wei's scalp tightened and he felt very insecure.

Imagine that at any time, the female classmates around you will become like Lian Huier and attack with bared fangs and claws. Well... Shi Wei shuddered. It was too scary!

"Yes, so, don't mess with women if there is nothing to do." Ishigami Bai answered seriously. He thought it would be a good opportunity for him to learn to see people's true colors, especially women's true colors, so that he wouldn't be unable to distinguish between good and bad in the future and be deceived by women who appear gentle on the surface but are actually full of evil.

He doesn't want to wait until he's old and still worry about these problems.

"I understand..." Shi Wei was very impressed. "If I have a daughter in the future, I will definitely teach her to be gentle and kind, and never let her become a shrew!"

"You are so gentle. What if you get bullied?" Ishigami Bai frowned and immediately retorted.

"This is also a problem..." Shi Wei was led into a ditch by Shi Shangbai. Looking at Lian Huier on the news, he became conflicted and worried about his unborn 'daughter'.

Ishigami Kashiwa had been trying to hold back his laughter the entire night, and he felt good seeing his son, who had become more mature over the past six months, frowning and thinking.

At the same time, Zhu Jin was having a video chat with Chong Lou. Chong Lou was afraid that Zhu Jin would find out that he was injured, so he used the excuse of being busy and didn't come home for several days.

Because of Zhu Jin's relaxed smile, Chonglou felt greatly relieved and spoke happily.

Zhu Jin felt sad when she saw Chonglou's expression. She thought she had behaved normally these two days, but Chonglou could still sense it. He was always careful when talking to her and kept teasing her, trying to make her happy.

I think he feels even worse.

Zhu Jin looked at Chonglou's expression and suddenly came to her senses. Since he didn't want to say it, then let him not say it. She would work harder in the future to make the burden on herself lighter and lighter.

"I haven't seen Yu Liren and the others for a while. Are they doing well?" After talking for a while, Zhu Jin suddenly asked.

"It's fine. I'm working with Yu Liren now. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just remembered and asked, when can we have dinner together?" Zhu Jin shook her head and said.

"Eat?" Chonglou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure, I'll ask them when they are free, and then we can arrange a quiet place."

"No need, just go to the place you often go." Zhu Jin still shook his head.

She really didn't like Chonglou's way of accommodating her, so she would encourage Chonglou to continue his previous life.

"Those places are too noisy." Chonglou also shook his head.

"It's okay, I'll just go less often." Zhu Jin did not hide her discomfort, "It's mainly because you like it."

She couldn't really get used to being part of his life, but it didn't matter if it happened once or twice.

Zhu Jin thought simply, but she didn't know that Chonglou didn't want to see her forcing himself again and again.

She was decisive, but she didn't know that Chonglou was as decisive as she was.

Just as she hesitated, Chonglou was also hesitant and equally unhappy.
