Chapter 158 Soft Heart
Several people stayed at the Shen family until very late. At the end, Gu Zhiyuan even drank some fruit wine with Cen Wan.
Gu Zhiyuan wanted to drink some wine to give herself courage. Shen Yixiao and Shen Xubai were going to drive, so she had no choice but to drag Cen Wan to drink with them.
Cen Wan couldn't drink much, but she had no scruples at the Shen family and with Shen Yixiao by her side.
She didn't drink much, but she was a little tipsy when the party ended.
Wen Xianyun looked at Shen Yixiao and Cen Wan and asked, "Why don't you stay at home tonight?"
Shen Yixiao hugged Cen Wan, looked at her blushing cheeks, and refused without a second thought: "No, it's more convenient to go back."
Wen Xianyun did not force them to stay and reminded them to be careful.
"Wanwan, come to my house for dinner some other day. Come when you're free."
Cen Wan nodded obediently: "Okay."
Shen Yixiao looked at her somewhat blurry eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making people feel soft and itchy.
"Let's go." He helped the person into the car quickly and efficiently. Cen Wan struggled to turn around and waved to Gu Zhiyuan, "Zhizhi, goodbye!"
"Okay, let's make an appointment another time."
Gu Zhiyuan looked at Cen Wan, who was already a little dizzy, and felt very annoyed. "If I had known Wan Wan couldn't drink so badly, I wouldn't have drunk with her. The sweet, soft and obedient Wan Wan got away with it, but that brat Chen Yixiao got away with it!"
After she finished speaking, she saw Shen Xubai looking at her. She pursed her lips, turned around and waved at Wen Xianyun: "Thank you for your hospitality, auntie. I will come to see you another day!"
"Okay, drive slowly. Xubai, make sure to send Zhiyuan home."
"Um."
…
On the way, Gu Zhiyuan kept trying to find something to say. Although Shen Xubai was brief and to the point, he would at least reply to her.
When they arrived in front of the Gu family villa, Gu Zhiyuan unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and knocked on the car window.
Shen Xubai rolled down the car window, and she tilted her head and said with a smile, "Today is also a day I like you very much. Bye, good night!"
After saying that, she turned and went inside.
"Ms. Gu..."
Gu Zhiyuan paused, a hint of joy rising in his heart.
He called me, maybe he was moved by my perseverance?
She turned slowly and saw Shen Xubai leaning over the center console and handing her a coat.
"Um?"
"Your skirt is dirty."
Gu Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and she instantly realized what had happened. She took his clothes and said, "Thank you."
"Um...did I make your car dirty..."
Shen Xubai said gently: "It's okay, just send it to be washed."
"It's late, go back quickly."
After saying that, he turned the car around and headed back.
Gu Zhiyuan looked at the direction he left, looked down at the coat in her arms, and put it on with a smile on her face.
His coat was too big for her, so she turned around, rolled up her sleeves, and gathered her clothes snugly.
Shen Xubai actually gave her the clothes to wear. Although it was because of her relative who suddenly visited at an inappropriate time, it was still a good deed.
It seems that he is not that cold and heartless.
Maybe it's interesting to me too.
She shook her head and was about to go back when she suddenly heard a faint humming sound coming from the side.
She was stunned and followed the sound, only to see a dirty little puppy squatting in the corner, curled up and shivering.
Gu Zhiyuan squatted down and looked at it for a while. Seeing that it had no intention of attacking people, it was just humming softly. He looked around, broke off a branch and poked it gently.
The puppy looked up at her, its black, round eyes moist, making people feel soft-hearted.
The moment he saw its face clearly, Gu Zhiyuan frowned. A corner of its ear was missing, as if it had been bitten off, and there was a bloody scab.
It made a low whimpering sound from its throat and lay there pitifully.
Gu Zhiyuan reached out and tentatively touched its head. It rubbed against her palm, being unnaturally obedient.
She immediately softened.
"Where's your master? Doesn't he want you anymore?"
"Do you want to go home with me?"
"If I count to three and no one comes forward to claim you, then you're mine!"
Shen Xubai had only driven a few hundred meters when he suddenly discovered that Gu Zhiyuan's things had fallen on the car. In order to avoid trouble, he immediately turned around and went back.
Just as I drove to the door, I saw a little girl in a loose coat picking up a puppy from the ground in the corner.
The puppy was so dirty that I couldn't tell what color its fur was.
She held it in her arms without a trace of disgust, gently stroked its head, and said to it, "Follow me, and you will walk sideways in this area from now on. No dog will be able to bully you anymore!"
The streetlights overhead cast a soft glow on her. A bright smile graced her pretty face, adding a touch of life to the lonely night.
Shen Xubai put his fingers on the steering wheel, his eyes showing no emotion, but for some reason he didn't call out to her.
He sat in the car, watching her turn around and walk into the house with the puppy in her arms, her skirt fluttering as she disappeared into the night.
