Chapter 167 Sleeping Separately
She simply touched up her lipstick and went out. When she reached the elevator, Sheng Ting took the bag from her shoulder, looked at it again and again, and finally fell on the hand hanging by her side.
He pursed his lips slightly, but still reached out and held her hand.
When someone held her hand, Chu Shuang turned her face to the side. In the end, she didn't say a word and let him hold her hand.
The elevator went down floor by floor. Where no one could see, the man's jawline was tense and his thin lips were pursed into a line.
This heartbeat feeling... I've never felt it before.
Sheng Ting never thought that one day he would be nervous because of holding Chu Shuang's hand.
The strength of holding her was even a little stiff, for fear that she would shake off his hand the next second if he tightened it.
The elevator reached the first floor, and Hatsushimo was the first to step out the door, and her hand that was being held also left the man's palm.
Looking at her beautiful white hands, Sheng Ting's eyes dimmed slightly.
"It's too hot. It's easy to sweat if you pull it." Hatsushimo said.
The man nodded, "Yeah."
The movie they watched was an art film with a fresh and peaceful tone, without any dramatic ups and downs. However, Hatsushimo seemed to like this kind of movie very much and watched it very attentively. The two of them rarely communicated with each other throughout the whole process.
After dinner, I returned to the hotel and it was almost dark.
As soon as she opened the door and before turning on the light, Chushuang discovered that the sofa area was brightly lit.
It was a field of star lights.
After a pause, Chu Shuang walked over. The first thing she smelled was the fragrance of flowers. There was a large bouquet of flowers on the tea table. In the dim light, there was a row of gift boxes of different sizes arranged on the sofa.
Sheng Ting turned on the ambient light and walked over to her, "Open it and take a look."
Chushuang paused for two seconds, then opened the gift boxes one by one.
Sequined high heels, perfume, lipstick, a blue velvet dress, and a pearl bracelet.
"It's made of pearls I just took out of clams today. Pink pearls. They suit you very well."
Seeing her eyes fixed on the pearl jewelry box, Sheng Ting picked up the bracelet and put it on her hand.
"Give it a try."
Buckled inward, the charming pink pearl bracelet gently wraps around her beautiful wrist, creating a beautiful picture.
The man moved his lips, "It really suits you."
Chu Shuang glanced at the pearl bracelet for a moment, then looked up at him.
When their eyes met, the man's eyes were dark and deep, and his voice was low and mellow, "First Frost."
"I was indeed reckless and impulsive yesterday. Although it was not my intention, I still made you suffer. I thought about it all night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt like an asshole. I regret it very much."
Sheng Ting's eyebrows were deep and three-dimensional in the dim light, and his expression was firm and clear. "From last night to now, I admit that I am afraid. I am afraid that you will be heartbroken, afraid that you will be extremely disappointed, and even more afraid that I was not so lucky yesterday, and will never..."
He swallowed, his eyes dim, "You locked yourself in your room and cried yesterday, and my heart was broken."
He spoke in such a colloquial way, as if only this way could fully express his feelings.
"I was indeed scared and panicked. The lesson I learned this time was too profound. I will never take risks again. I promise you."
The man spoke decisively and clearly, and Chu Shuang saw a different look in his eyes.
That was something that was inconsistent with his previous confident and stable temperament.
He seemed really scared.
Hatsushimo nodded, "Okay."
She seemed to be compromising, but her face no longer had the usual ease and joy, and she remained calm.
Even though Sheng Ting was anxious, he didn't dare to push her too hard.
If you make someone angry, you must slowly appease them.
"Do you like these?"
"like."
Apart from the pearl bracelet she was wearing, she didn't show anything else.
It didn't matter, she wasn't the type to be amused by these little things.
While Sheng Ting was still thinking about how to naturally ask her to go to the master bedroom, she had already taken the lead.
"I'm sweating a little. I'm going to wash up."
She said she was going to wash up, and came back to lie on her side. After that she never came out again, as if she planned to sleep there tonight as well.
