Chapter 163 Don’t Be Cowardly When You Come
If she had said too much at that time, Su Mo would have been on guard, which would have made Chen Yubai, the playboy, feel that what he had gotten was too easy and he would not know how to cherish it.
When it comes to feelings, you still have to figure it out on your own.
The other side.
The three men had moved on to the air rifle shooting booth.
"Bang!"
Lu Tingzhou hit the bull's eye with one shot.
"Bang!"
Song Ze followed closely behind and also performed well.
It was Shen Yubai's turn.
He held the gun, his eyes fixed on the target in front of him, but the crosshairs had drifted to who knows where.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit the wooden board next to the target.
Several shots missed the target.
Lu Tingzhou put down the air gun in his hand and looked at him leisurely, his tone full of ridicule.
"Young Master Shen."
"I remember you were at the shooting range, but that wasn't your level."
Song Ze also laughed and patted Shen Yubai's shoulder.
"This level shows that when people are here, their hearts are already flying."
Shen Yubai threw the gun on the table in frustration and grabbed a handful of his hair.
He looked at his two good friends and gritted his teeth.
"Do you two still have any compassion?"
"I've been living through this year of anxiety, but you guys are all so happy, each of you holding a beautiful girl in your arms."
The sourness in his tone almost overflowed.
Lu Tingzhou chuckled and handed him a bottle of water.
"Hold steady."
He spoke slowly.
"Su Mo agreed to come."
Shen Yubai suddenly looked up at him, his eyes instantly lighting up.
Lu Tingzhou leaned on the railing with a lazy posture.
"I've arranged a date for you. It will depend on your ability later."
"As a brother, I can only help you so far."
Clubhouse parking lot.
In a red car, Su Mo was holding the steering wheel and was reluctant to get out.
She wasn't late.
I even saw with my own eyes Song Ze hugging Qu You's waist intimately, and the two of them walked into the club talking and laughing.
But she just didn't dare to go in.
I don’t know how to face Shen Yubai.
She rejected Pei Huaizhi's New Year invitation and stayed at home for several days.
In my mind, Chen Yubai's words kept popping up uncontrollably.
"I think I'm in love with you."
Distraught, she blocked all his contact information.
WeChat, phone calls, all blocked.
The world is quiet.
But my heart is even more confused.
Especially on New Year’s Eve.
She stood by the bedroom window and glanced down inadvertently, seeing the eye-catching Cullinan parked quietly downstairs.
There was also a man leaning against the car door, smoking silently in the cold wind.
The street lights stretched his figure very long, and the sparks from the cigarette butt flickered at his fingertips.
At that moment, Su Mo felt his heart inexplicably tighten.
So when Sang Wan called today and asked to play together, she agreed for some unknown reason.
But when they really got to this place and were about to face each other, she got scared again.
My heart was pounding in my chest, as if it was about to jump out.
a long time.
Su Mo took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision.
She looked at herself in the rearview mirror and gritted her teeth.
"Su Mo, why are you so cowardly?"
"Now that you're here, you can't be a deserter."
Besides, I'll see you at work every day, so can I really hide from you forever?
Thinking of this, the confusion in her heart seemed to dissipate.
Open the car door and get out.
Su Mo walked into the club and subconsciously began to search the crowd.
Then, a glance.
Then he saw the man standing next to the shooting booth, talking to Lu Tingzhou and Song Ze.
He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater today, with a short jacket of the same color on the outside. He had a tall and straight figure and an outstanding temperament.
He didn't seem to be listening to his companions. He had a cigarette in his hand and his eyes were aimlessly looking towards the entrance.
Their eyes met.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Su Mo's back stiffened instantly.
I felt like my breathing stopped for a moment.
Shen Yubai also saw her.
He saw the figure that had kept him tossing and turning for several days suddenly appeared in his sight without any warning.
He subconsciously straightened his back and his whole body tensed.
The cigarette in his hand was still burning, and the scarlet ash burned his fingers, but he was unaware.
Until a burning sensation came from the skin.
"hiss--"
He suddenly woke up from his dream, hurriedly threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and crushed it with his foot.
There was a subtle hint of embarrassment in his movements.
Lu Tingzhou noticed his brother's abnormality at the first moment.
He followed Shen Yubai's line of sight.
Seeing Su Mo standing at the door, he calmly touched Song Ze beside him and gave him a look that said "watch the show".
The two of them looked at Chen Yubai, who looked like he had been struck by lightning, and frowned at the same time, then chuckled.
Song Ze even took out his cell phone with malicious intent.
With a "click", this precious scene was captured.
He shook his phone at Lu Tingzhou, and the two looked at each other, both seeing malicious smiles in each other's eyes.
And the other side.
Sang Wan also saw Su Mo standing at the entrance, motionless like a wooden stake.
She immediately put down the hoop in her hand and ran over.
"What are you standing there for?"
Sang Wan affectionately took Su Mo's arm and pulled her inside.
"Come on, come on, there are so many activities we played as children, it's so fun!"
Su Mo forced a smile on his face, but the smile didn't even reach his eyes.
She walked past Shen Yubai as if he was just a piece of air and walked straight towards Sang Wan.
"I thought you were so in love with Lu Tingzhou that you forgot about me."
Sang Wan held her hand, and his fingertips could feel the slight coolness and stiffness of her palm.
"How could that be?"
Su Mo was dragged by her and passed by the three men without looking away.
Chen Yubai watched her walk past him, not even bothering to spare her a glance. His heart felt like it was blocked by something, dull and heavy.
Sang Wan took Su Mo and Qu You and lingered in front of various stalls.
Sang Wan was tired of playing ring toss, so they went to eat candied haws.
Each person got a bunch of bright red hawthorns wrapped in transparent sugar coating, sparkling in the sun.
"Sweet." Sang Wan took a bite and squinted her eyes happily.
Su Mo also took a bite, and grimaced at the sourness, but still swallowed it down and spoke with all her might.
"Yeah, it's okay."
There was a small inflatable trampoline not far away, and Qu You's eyes lit up.
"Momo, let's go play that!"
Su Mo was also a little moved and looked at Sang Wan.
Sang Wan touched her belly and waved her hand with a smile.
"You guys go ahead, I won't be a flower anymore."
"I'll wait for you here, eating candied haws."
Su Mo and Qu You looked at each other, took off their shoes immediately, and rushed forward like two wild horses.
Sang Wan watched them laughing and jumping on the trampoline like two carefree children. Su Mo, who had been tense all afternoon, finally had a genuine smile on his face.
Sang Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The other side.
Shen Yubai's gaze seemed to be glued to Su Mo-, never leaving her for a moment.
When she smiled, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
When she danced, his eyes moved up and down.
That perverted look made Lu Tingzhou and Song Ze shake their heads.
Lu Tingzhou nudged him with his elbow.
"Take that look away."
Chen Yubai came back to his senses and ragged his hair irritably.
"She ignored me."
"Nonsense." Lu Tingzhou said indifferently, "Do you think blocking me is a joke?"
"Don't worry." He patted Shen Yubai's shoulder, "We'll have two days to play here. There's plenty of time and opportunity."
Shen Yubai took a deep breath and nodded, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Lu San, you showed some humanity this time."
Lu Tingzhou glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes.
"Don't count on me in the future."
"No, no, no." Shen Yubai immediately became timid and quickly hooked his arms around Lu Tingzhou's neck with a flattering look on his face.
"I was wrong, isn't it okay if I was wrong?"
"Brother, you are my real brother."
He lowered his voice and leaned close to Lu Tingzhou's ear.
"I'll give you two points for that project in Xicheng."
Song Ze heard it clearly and his eyes instantly widened like bells.
The Xicheng project is the latest collaborative project between the Shen and Lu families, with profits of hundreds of millions per site.
Chen Yubai, this stingy guy, is actually willing to give up two points?
Song Ze looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you crazy?"
"How can this be called plucking feathers? You're actually going to chop off the wings and give them away!"
Shen Yubai gave a bitter smile, let go of Lu Tingzhou, and leaned against the railing, his whole body exuding a sense of dejection.
"You don't understand."
"I'm really screwed."
His voice was very soft, with a hint of confusion and helplessness that he himself was not aware of.
"These days, I've been living like a zombie."
"She was blocked on WeChat and her phone number. I can't find her at all."
"I finally found out where she lives, but I don't dare go up there."
"On New Year's Eve, I was standing downstairs of her house."
He paused, a hint of bitter tenderness in his eyes.
"Looking at the light in her room, I could see a vague shadow on the curtains."
"I just feel at peace."
Lu Tingzhou and Song Ze looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Is this still the same young master Shen who walked through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on him?
This prodigal son's transformation is too scary.
From a playboy who played around in the world, he turned into an absolutely devoted lover overnight.
The change in character was so great that they couldn't accept it for a while.
Song Ze couldn't help but think.
They all thought it was outrageous, but what about Su Mo?
Will Su Mo believe it?
Will she accept such a Shen Yubai?
It’s hard to say.
…
night.
In the club's Chinese restaurant, around the long dining table, the atmosphere was a little subtle.
Su Mo seemed to be stuck to Sang Wan and Qu You, one on the left and one on the right, squeezing herself tightly.
Shen Yubai was sitting right across from her.
She could see him as soon as she looked up.
So she simply didn't look up.
He was busy eating the whole time, or chatting and laughing with the sisters around him, and never looked across at them.
Shen Yubai didn't say anything either.
But from time to time, he would look up at her.
The look was deep, complex, and contained a hint of repressed emotion.
The meal was filled with undercurrents.
After playing outdoors all afternoon, Sang Wan was indeed a little tired and felt sleepy before dinner was over.
"I'll go back to my room and rest." She yawned.
Lu Tingzhou immediately stood up and supported her waist, his movements natural and considerate.
"I'll accompany you."
Before he left, he leaned close to Sang Wan's ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Thank you, my wife."
"Willing to give that guy a chance."
Sang Wan glared at him and said nothing, which was considered as her agreement.
