Even the air seemed to become thick and sticky.
It seemed as if he was about to say something in the next moment.
At this moment, Chen Huai's cell phone vibrated wildly.
The subtle atmosphere between the two of them, as well as the aura surrounding Shen Huai that was about to burst out, were instantly broken.
He lowered his eyes and answered the phone.
Sijiu breathed a long sigh of relief silently, and his shoulders slumped down, as if he was suddenly relaxed. However, a contradictory feeling of loss flashed through his heart.
She was a little confused.
When did she start treating Mr. Shen like this?
Mingming, when she first heard about 'Mr. Shen' and what he did as a child, Sijiu had already sworn in her heart that she would always treat him as her most respected benefactor and repay him in this life.
No, for the young Si Jiu at that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was like a god descending to earth.
So when did it start, and why did I begin to have these blasphemous thoughts about my own 'God'?
Is it because the young girl was in love, and when she first saw the man in the wheelchair, she was struck by his bewitching handsomeness, yet mixed with a hint of indescribable fragility?
Or was it because he clearly exuded an aloof and cold aura of being difficult to approach no matter who he was towards, yet she always felt that he had a kind of silent indulgence towards her that gradually made her heart beat wildly?
Or maybe...
Si Jiu secretly glanced at Chen Huai while he was answering the phone.
His phoenix eyes were an emotionless black. With his head slightly tilted, his delicate profile and well-defined jawline formed a perfect and moving arc in front of Si Jiu.
So...it turns out that I am a face-obsessed person who only cares about other people's bodies.
Si Jiu cursed himself in his heart, but he couldn't bear to look away.
Was he really looking at me just now? Was he trying to tell me something?
What would he have said to me if he hadn't been interrupted?
Does he like me a little bit?
"A little wine?"
"Ah?" Si Jiu was startled and almost jumped up. He looked at Chen Huai with a guilty look on his face, "What, what happened?"
At this moment, I even wondered if I had said what I was thinking.
Fortunately, no.
"I'm asking you, is it okay for me to go back to Green Garden instead of your apartment during this period?"
He paused, "What are you thinking about?"
Si Jiu sat upright, "I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just worried about my fifth brother. Uh, okay." After a pause, she was a little confused, "But why?"
Although Green Garden is nice, it is still a bit far from the city center, so it is quite troublesome for her to go to and from get off work.
Seeing that she had no awareness that she was involved in two murders and completely ignored her own safety, Chen Huai felt a little regretful.
Maybe, should I make it clear to her?
Although Lin Su suggested that he didn't want her to feel any restraint at all, if she didn't want to say it, she should just cooperate with her and pretend not to know.
But now it is obvious that with the development of these two cases, Chen Huai has realized that there is something behind it, which is circuitous and slow, seemingly unrelated but is secretly heading towards Xiaojiu.
But when he met Xiaojiu's innocent and clear eyes, Chen Huai really didn't want them to be contaminated by any negative emotions such as fear, panic or worry.
She'll be scared.
In this life, she is so obedient and gentle. If she knew that there were vicious "criminals" targeting her in the dark, she would be terrified.
But she is actually very stubborn and has a very righteous mind. She will definitely do something dangerous because she is afraid but does not want to implicate those around her.
Thinking of this, Chen Huai sighed secretly and gave up the idea of making things clear with her for a moment.
Forget it, I can’t bear to do that.
"Nothing, but I thought your brother finally came back for a few days, and you would probably want to spend some time with him."
"Yes, of course. I had originally planned to go back to Green Garden when my elder and second brothers were home. I'm sorry to bother you."
