Chapter 107
The look in Han Shengyi's eyes when he looked at him could not be described as cold, but it could not be described as warm either.
Wang Hongye was about to ask him what was wrong, but then Han Shengyi withdrew his gaze, turned around and went into the house.
Wang Hongye was full of questions, but he was not the type to chase after others and ask what was wrong. He could only keep it in silently, and then, he forgot about it.
…
Han Shengyi did not refuse Grandpa Wang's invitation, but he ate very little at the dinner table. Aunt Zheng went home after making dinner. Han Shengyi waited for about half an hour before Chu Jiujiu hurried in.
In a hurry to get home, she didn't even enter the door. She stood in the yard and shouted to the brightly lit main house: "Brother Shengyi! I'm out, let's go!"
When Grandpa Wang heard this, he almost chased after me with a feather duster in his hand, "Little girl, you came here and didn't even come in and sit for a while? You despise me so much?!"
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
"What are you talking about? I'm anxious to get home for dinner. Grandma Han is going to make mutton meatball soup today, and I've been thinking about it all afternoon!"
Han Shengyi walked out quickly. He also came here on a bike. I don’t know if he was also thinking about the mutton meatball soup, but he parked the bike very quickly. After a while, he pushed the bike out and let Chu Jiujiu sit in the back. They said goodbye to Grandpa Wang together. Before they finished saying goodbye, Han Shengyi had already ridden away.
This set of actions made Grandpa Wang fall into deep thought.
Is mutton meatball soup really that delicious?
…
No matter how hot it is in the summer, it is still very cool to sit on the back of a bicycle.
Han Shengyi rode fast, and the cool breeze blew past him, even blowing his sleeves straight. Chu Jiujiu enjoyed it for a while, then leaned her head tiredly on Han Shengyi's back.
She was sitting sideways, leaning in this way was the most comfortable. Chu Jiujiu was hot all over, and her face was naturally hot too. The part of Han Shengyi's body that was pressed against hers soon began to heat up. Feeling the heat, Chu Jiujiu reluctantly straightened up again.
Noticing that she had gotten up, Han Shengyi asked her from the front, "Are you tired today?"
Chu Jiujiu nodded weakly, "I read a lot of books today. If I stacked them up, they would be twice as high as me. I finished them all in one day."
Listening to Chu Jiujiu's words, Han Shengyi couldn't help but frown. Is it really okay to read so many books at once?
Pursing his lips, Han Shengyi said, "When we get back, ask grandma to give you some more meatballs to replenish your body."
Chu Jiujiu sat behind him and murmured, "Wanzi..."
"Well," Han Shengyi continued, "I saw Secretary Lin bring some pork elbows today. There should be stewed pork elbows tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiujiu behind him suddenly patted his back quickly, "Stop, stop."
Han Shengyi pressed the brakes and turned around, not understanding what was going on. He saw Chu Jiujiu with a pale face. She covered her mouth and hurried down. There was no trash can, so Chu Jiujiu found a tree and squatted next to it, retching for a long time, but nothing came out.
Han Shengyi quickly parked the car, walked over, and stroked Chu Jiujiu's back. It was at this moment that Han Shengyi realized that Chu Jiujiu was so thin that he could even feel her spine. Her body, which was not even a pound of flesh, was shaking under his hands, and she looked a little abnormal.
When Chu Jiujiu stopped vomiting, he frowned and helped her up, "What's the matter? What did you eat for lunch today?"
Chu Jiujiu's legs felt weak. Although she didn't vomit anything, the feeling of Han Jiang churning in her stomach was still quite sour.
Chu Jiujiu said aggrievedly, "I didn't eat anything. I only had a bowl of tofu pudding this morning."
"That's all you eat. No wonder you can't vomit anything. Why do you eat so little?"
Chu Jiujiu replied: "I got up late in the morning and didn't have time to eat. At noon, I was busy reading and forgot to eat..."
The more she talked, the less confident Chu Jiujiu became. She glanced at Han Shengyi cautiously and found that his expression had not changed much from before.
But the corners of his lips were pursed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was not as gentle as before.
Chu Jiujiu lowered her head guiltily, her mind was filled with the same barrage of comments as the screen, but there were only two words in it.
It's over.
…
Half of Chu Jiujiu's body weight was still leaning on Han Shengyi. She quietly straightened up and stood up. She looked at her toes and didn't dare to say a word for a long time.
Not long after, that cold voice sounded above her head, "Don't you dare look at me."
"It seems you also know that this is wrong."
"Then why do you still do this?"
Chu Jiujiu defended herself, "I didn't do it on purpose."
Han Shengyi looked into her eyes, as if he could see her soul. "Did you really not mean it?"
Chu Jiujiu suddenly fell silent. Here it comes, Han Shengyi’s big devil moment has come again.
"No matter how absorbed you are in watching, there are so many people in the institute, and you're the youngest and a girl. They'll definitely ask you if you want to eat, and that's when you should have remembered to eat. But you answered no, thinking you'd eat later. Then, when a while passed, you thought, forget it, I won't eat today. It's okay to miss a meal."
"If you have nothing to do today and tomorrow is still busy, you'll do the same thing, and the day after tomorrow too. A sense of luck will make you think that skipping meals won't be a big deal. And we're not at the research institute. By the time we find out about this, you'll probably be in the hospital with gastroenteritis and receiving IV drips."
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
Her face was even paler now than when she wanted to vomit just now. Han Shengyi was really not a human being. Some things should just be known, why did he say them out loud? He made her seem like an unforgivable criminal.
Chu Jiujiu could no longer argue. She lowered her head dejectedly and admitted her mistake to Han Shengyi.
"I, I was wrong. I will never do this again. Please don't tell Grandma Han and the others, okay?"
Seeing that she had almost lowered her head to her chest, Han Shengyi suddenly asked again: "Are you afraid of me?"
Chu Jiujiu raised her head and hesitated for a second. Then, she nodded honestly, "At times like this, I'm a little scared."
Han Shengyi: "I'm afraid of you too."
Chu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, but Han Shengyi didn't explain what he meant. He took Chu Jiujiu's hand and asked her to sit back on the bicycle, but Han Shengyi didn't get on. He asked Chu Jiujiu, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Chu Jiujiu nodded, "A little bit."
Han Shengyi pressed her stomach and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Chu Jiujiu felt it and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."
Then, Han Shengyi changed his position again, "What about here?"
Chu Jiujiu still shook her head.
It was not until he pressed on a relatively upper position that Chu Jiujiu frowned and felt a little nauseous again. Han Shengyi pursed his lips, got into the car, and took Chu Jiujiu directly to a clinic.
Fortunately, we arrived early. If we had been a little later, the doctor at the clinic would have gone home. The doctor, like Han Shengyi, pressed on her stomach and then prescribed a small bag of pills. Chu Jiujiu clutched the pills with a sad face, "Grandma Han will definitely tell on me when I get home."
Not to mention Grandma Han, Grandpa Han, Chu Shao, Wen Xiuwei, and even Chu Liqiang in the military district had to call her specifically to scold her.
After leaving the clinic, Han Shengyi saw that she looked like she had lost all hope in life, so he finally compromised and said, "I won't tell them."
Chu Jiujiu raised her head instantly, "Really?"
"Yes, but you have to take the medicine."
Chu Jiujiu nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely eat it!"
"You must eat on time from now on."
"no problem!"
"You can't lie to me anymore."
Chu Jiujiu: “…”
After a moment of hesitation, Chu Jiujiu whispered, "I didn't lie to you, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Han Shengyi interrupted her, "You are lying to me, just like you lied to others. You lied to me habitually, saying things that would make me feel at ease."
Chu Jiujiu was silent. Indeed, she did not forget to eat today, she was just too lazy to eat. And the moment Han Shengyi asked her, she reflexively said that she forgot. First, she was afraid that Han Shengyi would scold her, and second, she wanted Han Shengyi not to worry about her.
She was always like this, lying to good people, lying to bad people, lying to outsiders, lying to her own people. She always said that she lied to certain people for their own good, that it was a white lie. But a white lie is still a lie, and it still makes people feel sad.
Han Shengyi said this without seeming to expect an answer from Chu Jiujiu. He continued walking downstairs. Chu Jiujiu stayed where she was, silent for a while, and then caught up with him.
"etc!"
Han Shengyi was walking quite slowly, so Chu Jiujiu only took two steps to catch up with him and grabbed his collar.
“I, I didn’t notice…”
Han Shengyi turned around, and under his gaze, Chu Jiujiu bit her lip and said, "I won't do this again in the future. You supervise me, okay?"
Chu Jiujiu looked at him anxiously. After two seconds, Han Shengyi came up again and stood on the next step. Han Shengyi raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head at her. "No need to change so much. I just hope that you won't lie to me again, that's all."
Chu Jiujiu blinked, then she smiled and nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
