Chapter 18 If I Can't Get It, I'll Jump into the River
Teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen are at the age of indulgence. Some play racing cars, some play with women, some smoke, get tattoos and lip piercings, and Shen Yu has a little girl by his side.
Everyone knew that he treated his sister like the apple of his eye and doted on her, giving her whatever she wanted and taking her with her wherever she went.
The little trash that the Song family didn't want was raised by him like a little princess.
Shuang Xu didn't feel sad at all when she talked to Lu Manman about the past when she was abandoned. Shen Yu had compensated her for the trauma she suffered in her original family.
What made her sad was that she felt she was on a path where she would be forced to lose Shen Yu, and she was being pushed forward and unable to stop.
Sometimes she would wonder if she had read too many love letters that girls wrote to Shen Yu and was infected by the virus hidden in the words. Otherwise, how could she like her own brother?
When she was abandoned by the whole world, it was Shen Yu who picked her up.
What would she do if one day even Shen Yu abandoned her?
She sat on a bench by the bridge and enjoyed the breeze for a while. The wind grew stronger and stronger, making her hair messy.
If only I could wake up and go back to my childhood.
It's better not to grow up.
A black sports car sped away in front of me, and after a moment, it slowly backed up.
The sound of a car horn woke Shuang Xu from her long daze. She turned around blankly and saw a black supercar parked on the side of the road.
He Tingzhou rolled down the car window, his gaze lingered on her red eyes for half a second, then he looked behind her and raised his eyebrows.
"You're going to jump into the river if you can't get me? You really love me."
A burst of silence rushed over, shattering Frost Precept's brain, which was dizzy from the wind, and the suffocating feeling in his heart.
She turned her head away, and after a few seconds she couldn't help laughing.
She smiled once and then immediately pursed her lips, pretending that she had never laughed.
What kind of person is this? He is so weird.
"Get in the car." He Tingzhou said.
It was easy to get nervous riding in his car, but Shuang Xu didn't move.
"Do we have to jump into the river today?" He Tingzhou folded his arms and leaned back, "Go ahead, I'll open my eyes."
"I'm not going to jump into the river. I'm just sitting here for a while." Shuang Xu explained, "Don't worry about me. I will go home by myself."
He Tingzhou seemed to have determined that if she didn't go with him, he would find an opportunity to jump into the river.
"Then ask your brother to persuade you?"
“…”
As soon as Shen Yu was mentioned, she became obedient, sighed, opened the passenger door and got in.
He Tingzhou didn't start the car in a hurry. He looked at her from the driver's seat for a while.
Shuang Xu probably didn't know what he looked like at this moment. His hair was messed up by the wind and his eyes were red. Together, he looked like a child who had been bullied and didn't know who to turn to for support. He could only sit alone by the river.
She noticed He Tingzhou's gaze and turned her head, looking puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Waiting for you to cry."
He Tingzhou's wrist was lazily hanging on the steering wheel. His wrist bones were thin, and the blue vein on his wrist was winding upward. He said in a rather naughty tone: "When does it start? Do you want me to call you a CtiOn?"
...Thank you.
"I don't want to cry." Shuang Xu didn't understand when she left him with the impression that she was a crybaby. She had clearly never cried in front of He Tingzhou.
The corners of He Tingzhou's lips twitched meaningfully: "Go home and cry in your brother's arms, right? You're so old, and you still recognize people."
Shuang Xu opened his mouth, but had nothing to say, so he closed it.
She was indeed very fond of crying when she was little. Whenever she was unhappy, tears would fall without any need for her to be scolded.
She really didn't want to talk today. Instead of trying to find topics to talk to He Tingzhou, she might as well just keep quiet.
Top-of-the-line supercars are speeding along the wide and straight lanes, lights from thousands of homes are flashing past the car windows, the prosperity and splendor of this city, thousands of years of history, and the joys and sorrows of one person are like a grain of sand in a torrent.
While waiting for the red light at an intersection, a pink G-Class stopped side by side in the next lane.
The passenger window was lowered, and a clear female voice came over: "Handsome."
Shuang Xu looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a stylishly dressed beauty leaning on the car window, wearing a tight vest and showing off her hot body, and she was flirting with He Tingzhou.
"A person?"
Probably because of the altitude difference and the dark sky, she didn't see the frost on the car.
"No." He Tingzhou put his elbow on the car window and said in a lazy tone, "A ghost."
...something.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" the woman asked.
"Do you miss me?" He Tingzhou was also very good at flirting.
The woman was also very good at it, and she gave him a charming look with a hint of affection: "If you want it, then you can have it."
In the semi-darkness, He Tingzhou's face reveals two contradictory qualities: indifference and ambiguity.
He bit the candy lazily and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid someone will get jealous and jump into the river again."
Frost Preface: “…”
It’s none of her business.
There are handsome guys everywhere on the streets, but it is rare to find such a handsome guy who is rich, good-looking and drives a top-of-the-line sports car.
Seeing that the green light for going straight was on, the beauty was unwilling to give up easily. She leaned her upper body out of the car window and threw a card over.
"I'm free tonight, call me~"
A card smelling of perfume fell from the car window onto He Tingzhou's legs. He picked it up between two fingers. There was a string of numbers written on it in black pen.
Shuang Xu glanced at him; he looked distracted and nothing could be seen.
But he didn't throw the card away. He just kept it in his hand while driving, and occasionally when he stopped to wait for a red light, he would tap the card lightly on the steering wheel.
Shuang Xu turned his face to the window.
It seems that I have delayed his romantic encounter.
After a while, the car stopped in an unfamiliar alley. It was remote and dim with only faint lights hanging on both sides.
Where is this?
Why are you here?
The car door slammed shut, and Shuang Xu's head, which was immersed in emO, was startled. In the quiet alley late at night, many shocking headlines flashed before his eyes in an instant.
A young girl died in an alley late at night. The murderer behind the scene turned out to be...
Tap, tap—He Tingzhou knocked on the car window from outside.
Frost Preface saw his 1.88-meter-tall figure with his back to the light through the glass.
She lowered the glass a little and looked at him through the gap.
He Tingzhou was looking down at her, and the moment their eyes met, it was as if he had jumped into an unknown deep pool.
He has high brow bones, and his eyes are a combination of peach blossom eyes and red phoenix eyes, long and sharp like a sword's blade, with the tail of his eyes slightly upturned, and the angle of his eyelids drooping is very affectionate.
Look at each other for a few seconds.
He Tingzhou said slowly: "What are you doing so sneakily? You don't think I can't see you just because you're peeking at me through a crack."
Shuang Xu: "...I'm waiting for you to speak."
"Do I need to ask you to get off the car? You are such a big shot, princess." He Tingzhou said, resting his right hand on the roof of the car and leaning forward lazily, "Please come in, your honorable princess."
"..." Shuang Xu unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. "Where are we going?"
"Have a bowl of noodles."
Only then did she notice that there was a noodle shop not far away. The old wooden doorplate had no LED lights and was very inconspicuous at night. There was only a small piece of warm light in front of the door.
"I'm not hungry."
"I didn't ask you." He Tingzhou said, "If you're not hungry, just watch me eat."
Okay.
The shop hidden in the alley is quite old, but it is kept very clean and you can smell the fragrance before you get close.
He didn't feel hungry at first, but when he smelled the fragrance, his stomach remembered that he hadn't had dinner yet.
