Chapter 177 Trapped

In the evening, Sheng Ting was going to the gym to exercise and asked Chu Shuang if she wanted to join him. Chu Shuang said she wanted to call her grandfather, so Sheng Ting went upstairs first.

The little golden retriever hadn't seen Chushuang for a long time and was a little attached to her, so Chushuang took it for a walk in the backyard.

There are two tall locust trees in the back garden. Now is the season when they are in full bloom. When the evening breeze blows, the subtle fragrance of the locust flowers fills the air.

Chu Shuang took a deep breath, sat on the bench under the locust tree and called her grandfather.

Looking up from her position, she saw lights on in several rooms on the second floor, one of which was a gym.

The silhouette of a person exercising came into view, and she watched quietly for a long time.

After finishing the call, when passing by the living room on her way back, Chu Shuang suddenly remembered something and went into the kitchen.

She went upstairs with the fruit plate, but there was no one in the gym. After thinking for a while, she went to the master bedroom.

Before she entered the room, she heard the sound of men talking. Sheng Ting was standing on the balcony of her bedroom answering a phone call. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and his previously cold and calm eyes softened.

Chu Shuang raised the fruit plate in her hand, and Sheng Ting motioned for her to eat first. Chu Shuang then sat on the sofa and ate the fruit.

The person on the other end of the phone should be a foreigner. Sheng Ting spoke to him in English. The words he read out in his mellow and magnetic voice were really pleasing to the ear.

The chat lasted for quite a while, and several times Chushuang thought the conversation was about to end but they started chatting again.

She turned her head quietly to glance at the man's back. His tall and slender figure reminded her of the scene when she first met Sheng Ting.

The sky was dim at that time, the rain had just stopped, and raindrops were still tapping on the eaves. The man walked steadily, and his face became clearer as he got closer.

His eyes were calm, his brows were cold, and the shock his facial features gave her is still fresh in her memory.

Sheng Ting's cold and majestic aura and the calmness that came with the passage of time made Chu Shuang feel like she had married an elder, so the two of them didn't communicate much at first.

Until later she felt his thoughtfulness and consideration, and then he expressed his feelings for her honestly, step by step, Chu Shuang fell in love with him.

When she first met Sheng Ting, she thought that a man in his thirties would at most be responsible and would not engage in romance. However, the fact is that the man who was so decisive in public always lowered his posture and did everything properly in front of her.

This reminded her of a sentence she had read before: If you feel very comfortable with someone, then the other person's experience and emotional intelligence are higher than yours, and in most cases he is trying to be compatible with you.

Sheng Ting came in after finishing his phone call. "How is Grandpa doing these days?"

"Everything is fine. It's his birthday next month and he wants us to go to Guiyun to see him."

"That's as it should be. We can buy some gifts for the old man when the time comes."

Chu Shuang's eyes curved slightly, and she poked a piece of watermelon for him, "Eat it quickly."

While Shengting was eating fruit, Hatsushuang asked him, "Do you still have work to do?"

“No more.”

"Would you like to watch a movie together?"

Sheng Ting glanced at the time, "Now?"

"Watch it at home."

There is a projector in the bedroom. After turning off the lights, Hatsushimo is selecting a movie. "Is there anything you want to watch?"

Sheng Ting: "Recommend one."

"Then let's watch... something a little easier, "Kikujiro's Summer"!"

Shengting is naturally good in everything.

At the beginning of the film, the two sat side by side on the sofa and watched the movie attentively.

The two-hour heartwarming comedy slowly unfolds during the wonderful journey of a child and an uncle. It was already past ten o'clock when the show ended.

Sheng Ting got up and went to take a shower first. When he came out, Chu Shuang was still fiddling with the projector.

"Want to watch more?"

Hatsushimo turned around and said, "No, the projector screen is stuck. I'm checking it."

"I'll do it, you go take a shower."

She went in for about two minutes and came out again. Sheng Ting was puzzled, "What happened?"

"The shower is empty."

The person who had fixed the projector got up and went to the bathroom with her. Sheng Ting turned on the switch, and the shower water sprayed out instantly, wetting half of his shoulder.

Chu Shuang was a little dumbfounded by the suddenness. "Just now, I turned on the water for two minutes and there was really no water..."

How come Sheng Ting got wet when she did it? This makes her look stupid.

The man didn't care that his shoulders were wet. He turned off the water and said slowly, "Maybe the water supply in this bathroom is unstable tonight. Go to another room to take a shower, so as to avoid the water being cut off in the middle of the shower."

What he said made sense, and Hatsushimo went over with some spare clothes.

When I came back, the warm yellow bedside lamp was on in the room. Sheng Ting had already gone to bed and was reading a book.

After taking a look at the man's well-defined profile, Chu Shuang went to the dressing table to do her skin care.

The room was suddenly so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing. The sunny weather earlier started to rain again at night. The sound of raindrops hitting the window was clear in the night.

When I was a child, this kind of night was a good night for listening to stories.
