Chapter 4 Do you still plan to have a girlfriend?
The hall was brightly lit, empty and quiet. Chushuang sat on the left side of the sofa, breathing lightly.
The indifference and majesty surrounding this man made people dare not look directly at him for no reason.
Thinking of Sheng Yao's call of "uncle" just now and the manners of the host that I had maintained when I was outside the door, a slight sense of embarrassment arose in my heart.
She is obviously the one who belongs to this family, and her "master attitude" just now was really... No wonder he looked at her like that.
Sheng Yao came out with tea, placed the cup in front of the man and sat next to Chu Shuang.
"Sister Chu Shuang, this is my uncle."
Chu Shuang sat very straight, looked over when she heard the words, and said, "Hello, uncle."
"Uncle, this is my friend Hatsushimo, a cartoonist."
Hearing the words "Hello, uncle", Sheng Ting's gaze fell on Chu Shuang, his eyes slightly darker.
There was silence in the air for a few seconds. Sheng Yao pinched the corner of her clothes, guessing that her uncle might be unhappy that she brought friends home. Finally, the man raised his lips and said, "Hello."
Fortunately, the frozen atmosphere did not last long and Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng came back.
The adults came home, and Sheng Yao pulled Chu Shuang upstairs.
Lying on Chu Shuang's bed, she exhaled slowly, which made Chu Shuang a little confused, "Are you afraid of your uncle?"
"I am afraid. I have been afraid of him since I was a child. Normally, my parents and brother would not scold me if I made some mistakes. But if my uncle was around, I would definitely be taught a lesson.
I was a bit naughty when I was in junior high school. One time, my parents were not available for a parent-teacher meeting, so my uncle went instead. That was when my grades dropped the most, and I dropped 200th in the grade. After the parent-teacher meeting, my uncle said nothing and drove me to a cram school to find a teacher... Doesn't sound that scary, right? "
Sheng Yao closed her eyes and continued, "As a result, he stayed with me in the cram school until the early morning that day. I had to finish all eight exams before I could rest. Moreover, he didn't let me have dinner! I still remember how scared, hungry, and frustrated I was. I finished the exam while crying and apologizing."
Chu Shuang listened and thought of the stern face of the man downstairs, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"It wasn't over yet. After I finished the test paper, it was around 4am. He was with me until then because he was hungry. It was winter and the night was especially cold. After we ate, he drove me around the streets."
Sheng Yao: "That day was the first time I saw the capital at five in the morning. Many businessmen had already woken up to prepare for the day's business, and the sanitation worker dragged his broom to start sweeping the streets. I will always remember what my uncle said at that time. He said that I was born into the Sheng family and was born with things that others could never get in their entire lives. Even if I didn't know how to be grateful and empathize, at least I shouldn't waste my time. He didn't want me to be a good-for-nothing."
"Since then, I have never been careless in my studies. I thought that even if I just had good grades, it would be fine as long as it could prove that I was not a useless person. In fact, his soul-touching education had a great impact on my adolescence. I am a lazy person, and I didn't have to worry about my livelihood and future. If it weren't for my uncle, I might have just taken the entrance exam to an ordinary university and lived a carefree life."
Chu Shuang listened and slowly curled her lips. "But you later became very successful. You were able to get into a first-class theater in the capital and work there. You did what you like while contributing to the arts. You really shined. Your uncle must be proud of you in his heart, even though he doesn't say it."
Sheng Yao looked at her, his eyes a little hot, "Wow - how can you be so boastful! How will I live if you move away in the future?"
Chu Shuang thought she was a little cute and couldn't help but ruffle her hair. This action made Sheng Yao's psychological defenses collapse and released her hidden attributes. She lay in Chu Shuang's arms, "Strange, I am very cold in front of other people, but I will unconsciously act coquettishly when I am with you. You are worthy of being a beautiful sister."
——
Autumn is here, Chushuang is preparing to buy some cute vests for the puppy, and Sheng Yao also wants to buy clothes, so after lunch they went to the mall together.
When Sheng Yao came out after shopping, she received a call from the theater, saying that there was a problem with the Mid-Autumn Festival show and she was needed to go over.
Hatsushimo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car with the dog and said, "Since there's something going on at the theater, you should hurry over there. I'll take a taxi back."
Sheng Yao stuck his head out and said, "It's going to rain soon so it might be hard to get a taxi. Do you want to go to the theater with me?"
"Business is more important. You take care of your work first and I'll go later."
A Lincoln stopped on the side of the road. Sheng Yao curled his lips and said, "It is said that arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time."
"Brother!" She waved at Sheng Yang, "Please take Sister Chu Shuang home. I have to go to the theater."
A woman with long wavy hair got out of Sheng Yang's car. She smiled brightly at Sheng Yang, then looked at Chu Shuang and the others coming over, smiled and nodded before entering the mall.
Sheng Yang saw the puppy in Chu Shuang's arms. It looked cute in its dinosaur costume. "Are you done shopping? Do you want to go back now?"
"We've finished shopping," Chu Shuang came over, "Mr. Sheng, do you have anything else to do? If you have anything, I can just take a taxi back by myself."
"I'm fine too. Come up and let's go home together."
As soon as Chu Shuang got into the car, Sheng Yang received a call. It seemed that his uncle asked him to help get something.
"If you need anything, I'll take a taxi."
Sheng Yang started the car and said, "No need, I'll pick it up on the way."
"By the way," he handed over a box of strawberry shortcakes, "I heard this doesn't have sugar added and is low in calories. Miss Chu, give it a try."
"Thank you."
Chu Shuang's heart just felt warm, and the next moment she caught a glimpse of the small rubber band on his wrist.
I took two bites of the cake and put it in my mouth. It had the texture of ice cream, and the taste was mellow and not greasy. Only girls who know a lot about desserts would buy this kind of cake.
Thinking of the girl just now, Chu Shuang thought for a moment and asked: "Is that Mr. Sheng's girlfriend?"
“Not yet.”
at present.
Minrui noticed the subtlety in his choice of words, and Chushuang asked, "Do you still plan to have a girlfriend?"
Sheng Yang was puzzled, "Also?"
After a light cough, Hatsushimo said, "You want to experience the feeling of being in love, right?"
Sheng Yang was at a loss for words. He thought about it carefully before speaking: "That's wrong logic. You fall in love because you want to be with someone, not just for the experience of love."
Looking at the man's serious expression, Chu Shuang seemed to understand but not quite.
So Sheng Yang is here for real?
Unlike her, who just wanted to experience the feeling of being in love before marriage, he was sincere to the girl.
What situation will the girl be in after marriage?
"Don't you think this is not a good idea?" Chu Shuang asked carefully.
Sheng Yang took the time to look at her, "What's wrong?"
Forget it.
"Nothing."
We’ll talk about the future later. How far he and that girl can get along and whether his marriage to her can be successful is another matter.
If Sheng Yang really likes this girl, he should find a way to cancel the engagement, which would be the best outcome for all three parties.
She didn't want to make another girl suffer because of herself. This marriage was just an engagement for her, but not for the girl.
The car was driving smoothly on the road. It started to rain, and the raindrops hit the car window. Chu Shuang watched and whispered: "Mr. Sheng is a smart man. He should be able to distinguish right from wrong. In the end, everyone should be decent."
Her marriage can be without love, but there can't be a third party.
If marriage is a necessity in life, the character of the other person comes first.
"If you need help in the future, just come to me."
She said it seriously.
Anyway, there is no love between them. Since Sheng Yang has someone he truly likes, she doesn't mind going to the elders to help cancel the engagement.
While braking and waiting for the red light, Sheng Yang glanced at her from the side, not knowing what was going on. He nodded blankly, "Yeah."
There was the rustling sound of flipping through documents coming from the Bluetooth headset, and Sheng Yang realized that he had not hung up the phone with his uncle, "Uncle?"
"Um."
“I thought I was dead.”
Sheng Ting: "It's okay, just drive carefully on the road."
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Yang was a little confused that his uncle actually had the leisure to listen to him chatting with others.
