The next second, Ana Shen’s phone rang.
Turning on the speaker, Xue Du's gentle voice echoed in the car: "Is it not scary?"
Another hesitant voice came over: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I was a little anxious just now and didn't step on the brakes correctly! I hit your car and it made a pothole..."
Lu Zhi felt a little embarrassed.
Ana Shen smiled: “It’s okay.”
The red light is about to pass.
Because the car only hit a small pothole and there was no particularly serious accident, the few of them decided to find a nearby shopping mall parking lot to park.
Shen Yinan's car was driving in front, and Lu Zhi followed carefully.
Lu Zhi glanced at the young man in the passenger seat and said timidly: "Brother, I know I was wrong. Didn't I get excited when you said you wanted to find your sister-in-law..."
The two had just finished their work outside and were about to return to the company when Xue Du suddenly received a call from Han Xu on the way.
The Korean actor said that he was filming a variety show in the old city and found that Ana Shen drove around that road back and forth five or six times with a very bad expression, so he asked them what was going on.
As soon as he heard that something was wrong with Shen Yinan, Xue Du immediately asked Lu Zhi to turn around.
Lu Zhi had good eyesight and saw Shen Yinan’s car at the intersection from a distance, so he stepped on the accelerator and started driving.
Who knew he would be hit by a car.
Lu Zhi tried to remedy the situation: "How about I buy a new one for my sister-in-law? Should I go now?"
"You want to buy it?" Xue Du gave him a cold look and said, "You wish."
Lu Zhi: “…”
After the car stopped in the parking lot, Xue Du stepped out of the car with his long legs.
He walked to the side and knocked on the car window.
Shen Yinan was fiddling with something with his head down. He was startled when he heard the sound and quickly turned his head.
Xue Du's brows paused slightly.
The young man was wearing a white mask tightly, covering most of his palm-sized face. His eyes, which were exposed outside, were blinking, with some fear and evasion, like a frightened rabbit.
Why are you wearing a mask all of a sudden?
What is he afraid of?
Xue Du tightened his knuckles, but did not ask, only said gently: "Have you had lunch?"
Ana Shen shook his head.
Xue Du curved his lips and said, "I just got off work. Do you want to eat something together? Then we can discuss compensation."
Ana Shen lowered his eyes and avoided the other person’s sight: “Actually, there is no need to compensate, it’s not a big deal.”
“Is eating a big deal?”
“Well…but…” Shen Yinan was still a little hesitant.
Xue Du hesitated for two seconds, then retreated to advance: "Is there something wrong? Am I wasting your time?"
“No!” Shen Yinan denied subconsciously.
Under the mask, the boy pursed his lips nervously.
Xue Du opened the car door, stretched out his arm, and let the other party hold his hand to get out of the car.
Why does it feel like a TV show?
Gentlemen go too far.
With a slight heat on his cheeks, Ana Shen shook his head and got out of the car by himself.
He pulled up his mask a little worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Where's your brother?"
Xue Du had long forgotten that he had a cousin with him and said casually, "He has an appointment."
Lu Zhi, who just came over to join him: "..."
They both looked over.
Shen Yinan was a little curious, while Xue Du beside him had a warning look in his eyes.
Lu Zhi scratched the back of his head, as if suddenly remembering something: "Oh, right—my friend asked me to play basketball. Let's go, sister-in-law! Take good care of my brother for me! He can't do it alone!"
With a wave of his long arm, Lu Zhi returned to the car in shame.
The car roared, and Xue Du looked at Shen Yinan: “There are food on the second and third floors of the mall, do you want to eat anything?”
Ana Shen said “hmm”, his voice a little tense: “I’m fine with anything.”
"Then let's eat Cantonese food, it's lighter."
The two went up to the third floor.
Xue Du had already booked a private room when taking the elevator.
After they were seated, the waiter brought them the menu and left after they had ordered.
Throughout the whole process, Ana Shen did not take off his mask.
After there were only two people left in the private room, Ana Shen lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, looking very busy.
He subconsciously turned his face to the side, and even his breathing was very light.
The mask was suddenly touched lightly, and Shen Yinan stepped back suddenly.
"Is this a trend among college students recently?" Xue Du mentioned casually.
He was referring to masks.
After thinking for a few seconds, Ana Shen told the truth: “No, I accidentally scratched my face.”
Her drooping eyelashes trembled uncomfortably.
Are you hurt?
Xue Du's eyes grew colder, but his tone was still gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring people: "Can I take a look?"
Ana Shen nodded.
He held the edge of the mask with his knuckles, pausing for several seconds before gently pulling it off.
But almost subconsciously, he turned his face to avoid the other person's sight.
His eyes met the reflection in the glass window.
This face was once treated disgustingly by the Zhao family, and after returning to the Shen family, it was treated with dislike by Bai Xiuli.
For a long time, Shen Yinan felt that others looked at him with disgust. He didn't dare to look at himself in the mirror and wore a mask wherever he went.
It took him almost a year to force himself to ignore other people's gazes.
Just now when he realized that he was going to meet Xue Du, Shen Yinan suddenly became a little flustered.
That scratch on the face is ugly.
He doesn't want to be seen.
I don’t want to be seen by Xue Du.
Without having time to think about why he cared so much about Xue Du's opinion, the boy subconsciously took out a mask from the storage compartment and put it on, trying to cover up the mark.
At this moment, the air was eerily quiet.
Shen Yinan's heart became heavier and heavier. When he thought about the other party showing a disgusted expression, his heart felt like it was being pinched hard by someone.
