Chapter 59: Difficulties
There was turbid rain in a pair of eyes.
Shen Yuehuai saw the emotions in her eyes and felt even more overwhelmed. Just as he was thinking about what to do, there was a knock on the door.
When Shen Yuehuai heard the knock on the door, he immediately raised his head and looked towards the door.
The person knocking on the door was a servant from the Shen family's old house. The servant stood outside the door and whispered, "Sir, Madam, it's time for dinner."
When the servant said this, Shen Yuehuai didn't know whether the servant had solved his problem or not.
He thought for a few seconds, then responded to the door with a "OK."
After hearing the response from the bedroom, the servant at the door naturally said nothing more and quickly left the door.
When Shen Yuehuai in the room heard the footsteps leaving the door, he lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.
After a long while, he could only hold the person in his arms tightly again, pressing on her to calm her down.
Shen Sangsang also buried her face in his neck.
After about four or five minutes, Shen Yuehuai suppressed all the heat in his body. Finally, he spoke again: "I'll go downstairs first. You can rest for a while and come down to eat later?"
He stayed in her arms for a long time, and after a long time, he nodded obediently.
When Shen Yuehuai felt her nod, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then his lips fell on hers again.
Shen Sangsang thought he was coming again, so she immediately closed her eyes.
When Shen Yuehuai saw her action, he stopped the movement of kissing her. After a few seconds, his kiss did not fall on her lips, but on the corner of her lips.
Shen Sangsang's lips trembled twice, like petals trembling in the rain.
Shen Yuehuai kissed the corner of her lips for a whole minute. Finally, he moved his face away from hers. He rubbed her head with his hand, and then he slowly loosened his grip on her body with his other hand.
After Shen Sangsang felt her body was free, she seemed to be ashamed to face him.
Soon, she turned over in bed, and her hand found a quilt on the bed and wrapped herself in it.
When Shen Yuehuai saw her wrapping herself up like a silkworm cocoon, the smile at the corner of his eyes deepened, but he did not stay any longer. After getting up from the bed, he slightly adjusted his clothes and walked towards the door.
But after reaching the door, he paused again and looked at the person still lying on the bed behind him: "Take the elevator when you go downstairs, don't take the stairs."
The person under the quilt on the bed uttered a tiny, mosquito-like sound: "Hmm."
If the room wasn't so quiet, Shen Yuehuai might not have heard it.
He thought of something, and his lips curled up again. Finally, he walked downstairs.
At the moment the door closed, Shen Sangsang, who was hugging the quilt tightly, opened her eyes inside the quilt.
The moment she opened her eyes, she subconsciously pulled her hand away from the quilt.
All the tenderness and sweetness disappeared, as if they had never existed.
…
After Shen Yuehuai arrived downstairs, Shen Jixing and Old Madam Shen were all sitting down at the dining table waiting, and naturally all the dishes on the table had been served.
Madam Shen had a somewhat unhappy look on her face. She asked, "Why did you come down so late?"
When Shen Yuehuai heard his mother's words, he said directly: "I'm sorry."
Then, he sat down at the dining table. He looked at Chen Jixing at the table and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry for making you wait for today's meal. Don't blame me."
Chen Jixing watched him coming up from upstairs late, with a smile on his face: "How could I blame you? Today's family dinner is a rare reunion dinner. Although your sister-in-law didn't return to China, it's not easy for us two brothers to get together."
Chen Jixing picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it to him: "Come on, big brother, let me toast you."
He thought about the glass of wine that Shen Jixing handed over for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he picked up the glass at hand and said, "I'll drink a glass as a punishment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the glass of wine in his hand and drank it slowly.
After finishing one glass, he turned the empty goblet upside down in front of Shen Jixing.
When Shen Jixing saw his actions, the smile on his face was a bit cold, but soon, he also drank the glass of wine in his hand.
When the cup was empty, he asked, "Yue Huai, are you satisfied?"
Shen Yuehuai put the empty cup on the table with a smile: "Brother, you can do whatever you want."
Chen Jixing replied: "If you finish drinking, I will naturally finish drinking too. You have contributed a lot to this family over the years. As your eldest brother, I know this clearly."
The sudden courtesy made Shen Yuehuai smile and reply: "How could that be? It's just what I should do."
Shen Yuehuai picked up the decanter on the table, poured himself another glass of wine, and raised his glass again: "It's just Xiaozhou's matter. I just hope you won't be too obsessed with sadness."
The corners of Shen Jixing's eyes flickered, and he looked at Shen Yuehuai with a twisted smile in his eyes: "Yes, second brother is right, we really shouldn't indulge ourselves."
"Xiao Zhou is a good child." Shen Yuehuai said this in a low voice. Then, he added: "Finding someone to bury Xiao Zhou together is definitely not an offense to Big Brother. It's just that old mother feels pity when she sees Xiao Zhou's grave standing alone, with no one to rely on."
The pain of losing his son in recent years has made Shen Jixing look much older. No matter how well he hides the pain on his face, it is still visible to the naked eye.
He didn't expect that his younger brother would actually hurt him at this dinner table.
His grip on the wine glass tightened, and his fingertips on the glass turned completely white.
However, he still looked like he was smiling, a smile that was broken through gritted teeth. "Yes, second brother is right. I was wrong about you and Mom. But Xiaozhou was dating someone before, so there's no need for you to make arrangements. He's a stubborn person with a simple personality. If he likes one person, he won't accept anyone else."
When Shen Yuehuai heard this, there was a hint of surprise on his face: "Oh? Xiaozhou had a crush on someone before? Which family was it?"
"I'm not very clear about this matter. He just said that when the time is right, he will bring it home to show us."
"I've heard a little bit about Xiaozhou finding a girlfriend. Some time ago, I went to a temple and heard the abbot say that he went there to pray for love. It seems that this girl really makes Xiaozhou happy."
Chen Jixing whispered: "I love my son, so I naturally don't want him to be trapped with someone who has no feelings for me. The old lady doesn't need to worry about it. Once the truth about Xiaozhou's death is revealed, I will naturally take care of what to do."
Shen Yuehuai nodded nonchalantly.
