Chapter 71 Chapter 71 He seems to like her
Because of this conflict, the relationship between Chen Run and Chi Shuangliu was temporarily eased. They were no longer as tense as before and would fight at the slightest disagreement. They could even chat with each other when the atmosphere was good.
During lunch, Chi Shuangliu and Cao Xun were on the phone for a while before returning to the table. Chen Run asked him tentatively, "What are you talking about?"
——The reason why she is so passive in front of Chi Shuangliu is not only because she cannot defeat him, but also because she knows too little about creatures like Chi Shuangliu. She doesn't even know what he will do next and how he will target humans.
Chi Shuangliu glanced at her and actually answered, "I'm asking the people from the Sun Umbrella Company to look for meteorites for me."
Chen Run swallowed hard, "Is it the meteorite left behind by the meteor shower? What are you looking for it for?"
Chi Shuangliu simply put down his chopsticks and concentrated on answering her question: "It can help me regain my strength." He supported his chin: "Are you curious about me?"
Chen Run hesitated for a moment, then, following his intuition, gave the answer he wanted to hear: "I want to get to know you better."
Sure enough, Chi Shuangliu's eyes curved: "You really surprise me recently."
"Ask, ask whatever you want to know."
Her gesture of goodwill meant that she had become aware of his feelings. He knew what she was planning, but he could not resist the "sweet treats" she offered. However, at the same time, she could never escape his control.
He was really too confident. After realizing this, Chi Shuangliu no longer disliked her "taming behavior" and even began to induce her to offer more sweet bait. Isn't this a kind of reverse domestication?
Shen Run looked at him: "Where are you from?"
"Another universe, with a different dimension than Earth," Chi Shuangliu said lazily, "and the rules of operation there are also different from those of three-dimensional Earth."
"What's it like?"
Chi Shuangliu's lips moved and he shook his head. "I can't describe the operating rules of the higher-dimensional universe using human words. I can't even find a synonym to replace it. The operating rules of the higher-dimensional universe are completely different from those of the Earth."
Chen Run listened intently, and finally asked the most curious question: "Can you...really give birth to a child? How do you do it?"
"Although I haven't given birth, theoretically it's possible. The offspring will be born and hatched by the original body. The birth method is of course different from that of humans, but one thing similar to human women is that I will enter a weak period when reproducing. But if it were you, I would be willing..."
No matter what the original body looked like, the person sitting in front of her was a tall and slender human male. The man was seriously discussing having children, and Shen Run was stunned when he heard it.
She was afraid that Chi Shuangliu would continue to pursue her and give birth to her children, so she quickly interrupted him: "I don't want to!!"
Chi Shuangliu's eyes flickered slightly, and he shut up obediently.
There were not many vegetables and fruits at home, so Chi Shuangliu was about to go out to buy groceries after finishing his housework. Chen Run watched him bend down to change his shoes, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
She licked her lips. "Can you... take me out for a walk?" She quickly added, "I can't run away anyway, so at least let me out for some fresh air. This dark room is driving me crazy."
Since Chi Shuangliu has admitted that he has special feelings for her, no matter what these feelings are, she wants to confirm the upper and lower limits. Maybe this is an opportunity.
Chi Shuangliu looked her up and down, then suddenly bent down and came closer, smiling at her with a curved corner of his lips: "Where are my benefits?"
His lips were so close to hers that he could have touched them directly, but he just stayed still.
His meaning was obvious. After a brief hesitation, Shen Run stuck to it without hesitation.
Chi Shuangliu was finally satisfied. He touched his lips with his fingers, savored the feeling for a moment, and finally reached out to her: "Let's go."
Without waiting for Shen Run to move, he grabbed her hand, carefully and tightly inserted his five fingers between hers, and locked her hand tightly.
It was already midsummer, the sun was scorching outside, and the temperature was approaching 40 degrees Celsius. Chi Shuangliu didn't know what method he used, but wherever Chen Run went, there was a shadow to block his steps, making him feel cool and comfortable.
After buying groceries at the supermarket, the two passed by a traditional pastry shop with a long queue. They used to eat there often. Chi Shuangliu suddenly remembered that when Chen Run lost her self-awareness, he had also queued up to buy pastries from this shop for her once, but she did not give any response.
The instantaneous feeling of loss and anxiety affected his mood again. He felt an urge to make amends for himself. He pulled Chen Run to sit in the shade on the side of the road, making sure she wouldn't be exposed to the sun at all. Then he said, "Sit here for a while. I'll go buy you some snacks from that shop."
In fact, he could drag Chen Run to queue up together, but the line was very long and he didn't want her to stand in the sun for so long.
Chen Run raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately, "The sun is rising from the west? What? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?"
Chi Shuangliu chuckled, and his smile was a little dangerous.
He lifted her collar with his fingers, revealing the cursed eyes below her collarbone. He gently rubbed them with his fingertips: "Do you want to experience the feeling of losing your self-awareness again, dear?"
With the Cursed Eye, Chi Shuangliu could easily control her.
This feeling of being controlled by others and being helpless is really frustrating. Chen Run closed his mouth in depression.
Chi Shuangliu went around the corner to line up. Chen Run waited for a while bored and looked around, but couldn't think of any idea that could help her escape from Chi Shuangliu's control.
It happened that Sister Chen also came back from the supermarket after buying groceries, accompanied by a young man wearing glasses. He was of medium height, about the same height as Chen Run, and had a gentle appearance.
When Sister Chen saw her, she came over with a smile and said, "Xiao Run, you finally decided to come out. Are you well now?"
She winked as she spoke, "This is my nephew. He just got a job transfer recently and was transferred to work nearby. I was thinking of introducing you two to each other, so you can become friends."
Shen Run was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this was the nephew that Sister Chen wanted to introduce her to on a blind date.
Her heart was pounding, fearing that Chi Shuangliu would come back and see Sister Chen and go crazy again, and would open his mouth to send the aunt and nephew away quickly.
Sister Chen's nephew originally looked uninterested, but when his gaze fell on Chen Run's face, his eyes lit up slightly.
He looked her up and down a few more times. She was dressed casually, without makeup, no backpack, and no expensive jewelry. He was satisfied and took out his phone: "Miss Shen, right? My aunt has mentioned you to me many times, and I've always wanted to meet you."
Shanghai is a place full of second generation wealthy people, and there are many opportunities for beautiful women to marry into a wealthy family. It is rare to see someone who is fair-skinned, beautiful, simple and honest. Is this what it looks like to be able to live a good life?
He opened WeChat and scanned it very familiarly, not even giving Shen Run a chance to refuse.
Suddenly, the camera went black, as if it was being held down by a bony finger.
Sister Chen's nephew was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up, and saw a tall man standing on Shen Run, with one hand on her shoulder and the other hand blocking the camera of his mobile phone.
Although he was wearing a mask and sunglasses, one could still feel his cold eyes and unfriendly expression.
He was wearing an ordinary short-sleeved shirt. His arms were muscular and toned, with pale blue veins bulging on them, circling all the way to his forearms. It was obvious at first glance that he was a man who hurt people very much.
Sister Chen's nephew swallowed and instinctively took two steps back.
As soon as Chen Run saw Chi Shuangliu coming over, she screamed in her heart that something bad had happened. She was afraid that he would go crazy and kill Sister Chen and her niece on the spot. She said, "My boyfriend and I are leaving first!"
She jumped up, grabbed Chi Shuangliu's hand and ran all the way until she stopped downstairs of the community.
Chi Shuangliu didn't say anything and let her drag him along all the way.
Chen Run was a little uncomfortable with his silence, and was afraid that he would explode in silence, so he asked, "You... don't have anything to say?"
Chi Shuangliu said in a cold tone: "Will you like that person?"
The daily interactions between the two of them made him gradually ignore the fact that he was a monster that she didn't like. What happened today finally reminded him that he was not a human being after all.
From this perspective, the probability of her liking any human male is higher than the probability of her liking him.
The smugness and pride he felt after reaping the benefits of success disappeared again, replaced by the anxiety that had been implanted in his instincts. He lost his rationality again and forgot to hide his love in front of her.
Chen Run originally thought that he would be angry because of Sister Chen, but he didn't expect that the first thing he asked was this.
She was stunned for a moment and answered instinctively: "No."
Chi Shuangliu paused: "Why?"
In order to save the lives of Sister Chen and her niece, Shen Run made up a random excuse: "He has no manners. He didn't even help carry the groceries when he went out with his elders. It's not enough to be angry about marrying a man like this."
She belatedly felt a strange feeling in her heart - why would Chi Shuangliu care whether she liked other people?
Almost in an instant, Chi Shuangliu's tense nerves relaxed, and the surging restlessness and murderous intent immediately subsided. He looked down at his hands. In his left hand was a large bag of vegetables, and in his right hand was the pastries he bought for her.
He tried to maintain his composure and nodded, "Let's go."
Seeing his indifferent reaction, Shen Run began to murmur in his heart again, wondering if he was overthinking it again.
She followed Chi Shuangliu and asked cautiously, "Why are you asking me if I like him?"
Chi Shuangliu didn't answer and went straight upstairs.
She was really not good at relationships, Shen Run scratched the back of his head in distress and followed him upstairs.
Just when she thought the topic was over, Chi Shuangliu said something out of the blue: "I can carry the vegetables."
After saying that, he walked into the kitchen as usual and began to prepare for dinner.
Shen Run's heart skipped a beat, then began beating slowly again.
Judging from her limited experience in relationships, is Chi Shuangliu...jealous?
Maybe she was crazy. She actually started to deduce the possibility that Chi Shuangliu liked her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt...it seemed to be true?
She felt her mouth dry. The experience of being under surveillance during this period made her first feeling not the excitement of discovering that Chi Shuangliu liked her, but the disbelief that an important chip was suddenly stuffed into her hand.
Does this mean...she won't have to be so passive anymore?
