Chapter 138: Not Loving Enough Hurts His Self-Esteem
Xun Sheng's heart was beating in pain.
He hated it most when Xia Cheng cried because he had no idea how to deal with it.
Wan Lu remained calm and took the initiative to let go of Xia Cheng's hand.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
It was rush hour and there were many people on the road. The inquiring looks they gave her made Xia Cheng unable to raise her head.
Xun Sheng could only agree.
"Take my car." He ordered Xia Cheng firmly.
Wan Lu didn't argue with him.
"Thank you." Xia Cheng whispered to Wan Lu, then quickly caught up with Xun Sheng and sat in the back row.
Xun Sheng saw her sitting in the back and turned on the air conditioner first.
"Where are we going to talk?"
"There's a park over here..."
"You show the way."
Xia Cheng nodded, raising her red eyes. The argument had come and gone quickly, a release of the emotions she'd been feeling from her recent detention. She'd truly felt like she was going crazy, with so much on her mind that she couldn't think straight.
With her guidance, Wan Lu's car followed behind. After arriving at the park's parking lot, they found the park.
The park is very big. There are not many young people at this time. There are only old men and women who come to exercise. Xia Cheng chose an empty corner and sat down on the stairs.
"Isn't it dirty?" Xun Sheng scolded her, turned around and took off his coat and threw it over. His relationship with Xia Cheng has always been like this, hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
Holding Xia Cheng in his arms, he felt angry for no reason.
"Put it under your butt!"
"No, it's too expensive."
Wan Lu chuckled twice and sat down on the steps with Xia Cheng.
Xun Sheng found it eye-catching and sat down on the other side of Xia Cheng.
So, one on the left and one on the right, one wearing a dark shirt and the other wearing a white sweatshirt. They are obviously of similar age, but they have two completely different feelings.
Xun Sheng rolled up the cuffs of his shirt to his elbows.
"I was wondering why you agreed to come out. Did you bring him here to show off?"
Xia Cheng was a little annoyed. He kept nagging Wan Lu for a long time.
"Then what else can I do? An Wuyu and Li Laiyang have been arrested. Who knows if there will be others?"
"Tsk, I told you that long ago." Xun Sheng looked at the red mark on Xia Cheng's wrist and squeezed it again. "I told you that long ago, I'm just angry! I'm not breaking up with you! What's wrong with you? Why don't you want to come back?"
Why? Xia Cheng couldn't explain it. She didn't really like Xun Sheng. When she saw Xun Sheng and heard the word "Xun", she thought of Xun Mo instead.
So she started apologizing again.
"sorry......"
"Explain clearly why he can do it but I can't."
Wan Lu smiled but said nothing. The corner of his mouth was swollen from the beating, and he looked a bit embarrassed. However, this was just a minor injury for him. He had expected such a fight a long time ago.
Xun Sheng was completely stuck in a dead end. From childhood to adulthood, in order to gain Xun Youdong's approval, he suppressed his nature and worked hard.
When he grew up and accidentally discovered the will, he realized that he was just Xun Mo's protection shield. He had been lying in wait for more than 20 years before his death.
It wasn't until I met Xia Cheng that I had something out of my control for the first time.
While he felt disgusted, his interest was also piqued. The paradox of brother and sister constantly stimulated his senses, and because they were not his biological children, he became even bolder.
He was hopelessly in love with her. It sounded absurd, but it had only been a few months. But Xia Cheng did have that charm. She was too smart and too much for him. So Xun Sheng couldn't bear to let her go.
Who doesn't make mistakes? Just forgive her, keep forgiving her...
But what if Xia Cheng's heart wasn't with him? Xun Sheng would be completely helpless. He could even vaguely feel that he was just a sex partner for Xia Cheng.
There is no way, whoever loves more is destined to be humble.
Thinking this way, Xun Sheng suddenly understood why Xia Cheng was willing to stay with Wan Lu. Because he was generous, Xia Cheng didn't have to be restrained. Xun Sheng envied Wan Lu because such people often live in families full of love or material things. Because they are full of themselves, they feel at ease to give away the things they like.
He sighed helplessly towards the dark blue sky.
This is the answer to why Wanlu works but he doesn’t.
"No need to answer." The water on his face and head was almost dry, and he stood up with wet hair.
"Xia Cheng, you are so selfish."
If Xia Cheng wasn't selfish, she would give him a little bit of her love.
But at the beginning, he was attracted by her personality.
Xun Sheng didn't even take his coat, but walked towards the parking lot with his hands in his pockets.
Xia Cheng felt that what she said was not clear enough and wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Wan Lu.
"Alright, give him some dignity." Wan Lu dusted himself off. "Whether you like her or not, since you've rejected her, don't go back. Men have self-respect too."
Wan Lu always speaks frankly.
Xia Cheng had an epiphany.
The warmth of Xun Sheng's palm lingered on her wrist, and she thought of the scene of sleeping with him on the sofa. He always lay on his side to leave the most space for himself, and he also slept on the outside in a habit, so it was easy for Xia Cheng to kick him off accidentally.
In fact, Xun Sheng is still a very good person.
It’s just that Xia Cheng wasted his affection.
A good person is not always mocked, but recognized as such.
The night she was kidnapped, she lay on his back, and his body temperature was as warm as it is now.
She always forgot that Xun Sheng was a human being, not her dog.
In a relationship between the two sexes, she treats him like a dog, but that is because he is willing to obey her, tolerate her, and love her, not because he is mean.
Xia Cheng hugged his coat tightly and said goodbye silently to his back.

On the way back, Wan Lu noticed that Xia Cheng was in a low mood, so he offered to go shopping in the supermarket.
Only after entering the supermarket did Xia Cheng come to her senses and choose the food that Wan Ke and Shen Xiaoxiao liked with him.
Because of pushing the cart, the two bodies were getting closer and closer. At the moment of collision, Xia Cheng suddenly dodged to the side, causing the shelf to shake.
A few bags of potato chips fell from the shelf. Xia Cheng knew how presumptuous her action was and apologized again.
But when she looked up and her eyes met the wound on Wan Lu's mouth, she shook her head in annoyance.
I actually forgot such a big thing.
Wanlu's wound has not been treated yet.
"Does it hurt?" She stood on tiptoe and touched the corner of his mouth.
Wan Lu moved his face closer. He had a high threshold for pain.
"Yeah, it hurts."
"Is it because of me that you don't fight back?"
Wan Lu shook his head.
"Not exactly."
"Then why?"
"Sympathy." Wan Lu thought for a moment and said these two words. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not sympathizing with you, I'm loving you."
He sympathized with Xun Sheng.
A person who can be thrown away when he is no longer valuable did not fight back because he thought of his past self.
However, he couldn't blame Xia Cheng just because of this sympathy. He hadn't experienced the days after Xia Cheng returned to the Xun family, so he had no right to judge Xia Cheng. He just needed to remember why he liked her.
Ultimately, it's between the two of them.
Wan Lu didn't take the punch in vain, he had his own plans.
Like a big-tailed wolf, he laughed, pulling the wound at the corner of his mouth, and his face was tilted as if he was about to cry again, but his eyes were bent down.
"I got hurt because of you, so you'll be responsible for taking care of it later."
