Chapter 196 Do you remember the first time we met?
She rushed towards He Tingzhou and stretched out her hand to snatch the tablet from his hand: "Don't look!"
He Tingzhou raised the tablet and looked down at her: "Is there anything I can't see? Besides confessing to your brother in public, what other little secrets did you tell me that you dare not let me know?"
"I didn't say anything... Anyway, don't look at it! There's really nothing to see." Shuang Xu stood on tiptoe and reached out, but He Tingzhou, relying on his tall stature, easily lifted the tablet up to a position out of her reach.
The voice inside continued: "I have a boyfriend, and your malicious slander against me..."
He Tingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked up at the video: "You mentioned me?"
"It's not you!" Shuang Xu denied without thinking.
He Tingzhou snorted: "Besides me, how many boyfriends do you have?"
Shuang Xu didn't expect the video to be leaked so quickly, and he even thoughtfully added subtitles to the footage.
She covered He Tingzhou's eyes so that he wouldn't see, but then she realized the sound was still playing, so she covered his ears instead, but there were subtitles.
She only hated that she didn't have four hands.
She clung to He Tingzhou and jumped around like a monkey, while he stood still like a tree.
Wansui didn't know what was going on. Seeing this, he stopped eating and ran over. Shuangxu was anxious, so he became anxious too. She fluttered on He Tingzhou's body, and it circled around He Tingzhou's legs.
Xu Zhen found the scene extremely funny, but did not dare to laugh. He quietly stepped back to the wall, crossed his hands in front of him, and looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
"I care about how he feels, I care about what someone might say..."
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Shuang Xu made a prompt decision and chose to run away, letting go of He Tingzhou and turning around to escape.
He stretched out his arm and pulled her back by the waist.
He Tingzhou picked her up with one arm, walked to the sofa and put her on his lap. At this time, the video had already played to the last sentence.
Seeing this, Shuang Xu wanted to grab the tablet again, but He Tingzhou grabbed her waist and held her firmly: "Behave yourself."
She could only watch the video until it finished playing.
"I love him very much and I want him to know that I am worthy of his love. I hope I am his pride rather than a stain."
As these words came out, the video ended and the air suddenly fell into silence.
Xu Zhen disappeared without a trace at some point, and took Wansui with him when he left.
The living room was too quiet, and the pounding sound in Shuangxu's chest seemed particularly intense. He didn't know whether it was the accelerated heartbeat caused by the futile struggle or the shame.
After a few moments of silence, He Tingzhou glanced at her indifferently. Apart from that, he showed no other emotions and did not speak.
His calm reaction made Shuang Xu feel that all his efforts had been in vain. If he had known that he would react like this, there would have been no need to bother to stop him.
He Tingzhou dragged the progress bar back and started playing it for the second time.
Shuang Xu's shame, which had not yet subsided, suddenly surfaced again: "You have read it all."
He said in a serious tone: "You are making a fuss here. I didn't hear what you said clearly."
“…”
He Tingzhou dragged it out a bit, and the progress bar reached the part about "my brother". He obviously didn't like it, so he fast-forwarded to "I have a boyfriend".
This time, Frost did not mess up the video, and it played smoothly for a full thirty seconds. She was still on pins and needles when she listened to it again.
There's nothing more humiliating than watching your own corny confession.
He Tingzhou still did not react. He dragged the progress bar back a little bit again and replayed the last sentence "I love him very much" alone.
"You still want to listen?"
He Tingzhou: "I believe in fairness. I just listened to it with my left ear. Now it's the right ear's turn."
“…”
After the video was played, he seemed to be unsatisfied and rewound ten seconds.
Shuang Xu's face was almost burning. If she continued to listen, she would die: "How many ears do you have?"
He: "I'm growing the fourth one now."
Unable to bear it any longer, she reached out to his hand, snatched the tablet away, paused the video, and clicked the cross, all in one go.
It wasn't enough to just close the door, he stood up with the tablet, walked to a far place, opened the drawer and threw it in.
He Tingzhou leaned back on the sofa with his head tilted back, his eyes following her back.
The slight unhappiness he brought back from the venue was finally smoothed out. God knows how much jealousy he felt when he heard her publicly admit that she had liked Shen Yu.
He wanted to delete everyone's memory and chop Zheng Zuye into eight pieces and feed them to eight different dogs.
He didn't even dare to let her talk to Shen Yu, for fear that she would confide in Shen Yu and that she would know that Shen Yu liked her.
Afraid she'll regret it.
She was afraid that if she put him and Shen Yu together, her balance would tilt to the other side.
Shuangxu faced the drawer and remained calm for a moment until the heat on his cheeks subsided. He turned around and met He Tingzhou's gaze.
The slightly raised curve at the corners of his eyes was elegant and lazy, revealing a sense of joy.
He patted the sofa beside him and motioned her to come over.
Shuang Xu turned around and was about to leave when his leisurely voice came from behind him: "Come here on your own, don't force me to catch you."
“…”
Shuang Xu finally went over, He Tingzhou straightened up and pulled her between his legs.
She put on a nonchalant face and asked, "What are you doing now?"
He Tingzhou raised his eyelids and looked at her with his face slightly tilted upwards. This posture made Shuang Xu feel like she was in a superior position.
"Love me very much?" he asked.
"Why are you asking me?" Shuang Xu said, "Ask your four ears."
"My ears don't have a mouth, so I can't talk." He Tingzhou slid his palms onto her waist, pulled her closer, and asked for the second time: "Do you love me?"
The shame was covered by another gentle emotion. Shuang Xu was silent for two seconds, and then her voice softened: "He Tingzhou, I love you."
He Tingzhou's eyes gradually darkened, and his Adam's apple moved. Just when Shuang Xu thought he would say something, he asked, "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Shuang Xu certainly remembered it, but he was not sure if what he said was the same thing as what he said.
She mistook him for someone else in the pool and grabbed his feet, but he probably didn't remember it, right?
"Are you talking about the time I went to Yundun to find you?"
"When you were seventeen." He Tingzhou narrowed his eyes. "Don't you remember? You couldn't care less about anyone except your brother, right?"
"I remember. I thought you forgot." She didn't understand why he suddenly brought it up.
"What happened that day?"
He Tingzhou leaned on the sofa and suddenly curled his lips. The smile was quite meaningful and aroused Shuang Xu's curiosity.
She sat on He Tingzhou's lap and asked, "Are you talking about the time I caught you by mistake in the swimming pool that day?"
He Tingzhou looks like a playboy, a man who walks among flowers without getting hurt. But in fact, he is cold-hearted and cold-hearted. He has many friends who only care about food and drink, but no one he can truly confide in.
In the circle of the second generation in Yancheng, he and Shen Yu were the most outstanding, so it was natural for them to become familiar with each other.
The relationship is not that close, just a little better than that of others.
That was his first time to visit the Shen family.
The Shen family's swimming pool was always full of water, and the light blue tiles reflected the water into a beautiful aqua blue. He passed by the pool, and there was a splash from the calm water, and someone emerged and mischievously jumped onto his feet.
He lowered his head and saw a clear, vivid face in the ripples on the water.
Seventeen-year-old Shuang Xu had a pair of pure eyes without any impurities. Her eyelashes were wet, and her crooked eyes were filled with a sly and brilliant smile. The bright sun shone on her clear and moist face, and the water droplets reflected the sunlight, burning his eyes.
That day she was wearing a light blue swimsuit, almost blending into the pure water of the swimming pool, like a water elf, and wetly grabbed his ankles.
