Chapter 284 But does she allow him to qualify?
"I can."
Zhou Sui spoke without pause. Under Shen Tingsi's finally shattered mask, he said word by word, "As I just said, no one can stop her from making her choice."
"Including me."
"In my life, I have very few wishes. The only thing I want is for her to be happy. I don't care about the rest."
The "rest" includes the love he has hidden for many years.
Shen Tingsi didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Suihuai deeply, and then he stood up and was about to disappear at the end of the aisle.
The footsteps paused.
Shen Tingsi's deep voice came, "She is not a casual person. She will never be happy if she marries hastily. You can make your own choice."
After saying that, Shen Tingsi walked away.
Zhou Suihuai sat on the wooden bed, his back against the door, staring at the closed door opposite, his lips curled in bitterness as he thought -
He actually hoped that he was her willful choice.
If this was a big gamble, he would never let her lose.
But does she allow him to be qualified?
After Bian Zhi got up, he vaguely heard a sound coming from the door.
She walked over in confusion, and when she opened the door, she was stunned.
There were two wooden beds opposite the door, and a long table extending to the end of the aisle, on which were placed local specialty pastries and snacks.
Peking duck.
Ningbo glutinous rice balls.
Shandong pancakes.
There is also Western coffee and hot toast.
Bian Zhi was puzzled, and when he looked up again, he saw three men standing in a row opposite him.
"Did you...just arrive?" Bian Zhi guessed, "or...you've been staying at the door all night?"
Lin Ye avoided answering and pointed at the Western-style grilled sausages. "Bian Zhi, try that one. I specially asked a French chef to make it. And try this soft croissant. It's especially delicious when paired with black coffee."
"Oh," Lin Ye said disdainfully when he saw Bian Zhi's eyes fixed on a distant place. "The rest were prepared by Shen Tingsi and Zhou Suihuai. They are not interesting. Just take a look at them."
When he woke up in the morning, Bian Zhi had no appetite.
The three men opposite her stared at her eagerly, as if she was about to choose not a simple breakfast, but them themselves.
Bian Zhi: “…”
Under the overly anxious gazes of the three, Bian Zhi raised his hand and tore open the packaging of the milk in his hand. "You guys eat, I won't disturb you."
After saying this, Bian Zhi walked towards the door.
Three men followed, and Lin Ye yelled, "What? You should at least choose one."
Lin Ye stopped Bian Zhi at the door and looked determined not to give up. Bian Zhi looked at the other two people. There was no urgency on their faces, but there was a hint of expectation. Their eyes were fixed on her hands, which made Bian Zhi feel confused and quite nervous early in the morning.
He glanced at Lin Ye, then at the two men opposite him.
Bian Zhi paused, remained silent for a while, and looked at the breakfast in the corridor.
"The Western style," Lin Ye specifically reminded, "The Western style is mine."
Greasy, he frowned at Bian Zhi.
Shen Tingsi glanced at the Chinese pastries on the left, "It's a good time to have a hot Cantonese pastry in the morning."
Cantonese pastries, paired with Hong Kong-style milk tea...
On weekdays, I would eat it occasionally, but today...
Bian Zhi pursed her lips, and when Zhou Suihuai was about to open his mouth, her fair jade hand directly picked up a bowl of lean meat porridge, "This one."
Quiet.
Deathly quiet.
Lin Ye seemed to be unable to react for a long time. When he came to his senses and started to make a fuss, Bian Zhi had already walked out with a box of lean meat porridge.
Perhaps, in Lin Ye's eyes, this is just a breakfast choice, but in the eyes of Shen Tingsi and Zhou Suihuai, it is not the case.
Shen Tingsi's eyes were gloomy, while Zhou Suihuai's eyes were shaken, as if ecstatic. He couldn't believe it, but was flattered.
She scratched her hair and tilted her head to look at Shen Tingsi, whose eyes were as cold as a knife. She was very uncertain, yet eager and cautious.
"Small--"
"Little cutie," Zhou Suihuai said, his excitement barely contained. "What did she mean just now—was it what I thought she meant?"
Lin Ye finally stopped yelling. He looked at Zhou Suihuai, who looked a little crazy, in confusion, and said, "Wow—"
"What the hell, are you really that serious?"
Lin Ye didn't understand. "I just chose your lean meat porridge, but you're acting like Bian Zhi agreed to marry you. Can you please stop drooling? Isn't that embarrassing?"
Lin Ye's words seemed like a teasing, but they seemed to have ignited a nerve in Shen Tingsi.
He said nothing, and strode out with a serious expression on his face, while Zhou Suihuai stood there as if he had been struck by a bullet.
After a long time, Lin Ye touched his shoulder, and Zhou Suihuai opened his fox eyes wide and arched his eyebrows towards Lin Ye with joy.
“…”
Lin Ye: "Oh my god, Zhou Suihuai, are you sick? Why are you smiling at me so disgustingly?"
Lin Ye stretched out his arm to show Zhou Suihuai, "I have goose bumps."
Zhou Suihuai completely ignored Lin Ye and walked out with big strides, as if he wanted to finalize something.
Lin Ye was completely distracted. He picked up the cake on the table and muttered, "What's wrong with these two? One looks like he's lost his mind, and the other looks like he's possessed. It's just breakfast, is that a big deal?"
Shen Tingsi followed her out and stopped Bian Zhi at the door of the clinic.
The force was a little out of control, and it caused some pain in Bian Zhi's wrist.
Bian Zhi frowned slightly and turned to look at Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi's face was more serious than ever before, and he stared at her with a stern and cold look.
"Zhizhi, you said," Shen Tingsi suddenly said, "you will never marry again in this life, you want to stay at home and let me accompany you."
Shen Tingsi's face was dazed and distorted, with loneliness staining his eyebrows and eyes. He repeated: "You said it yourself."
"You clearly told me so."
"how--"
"It's changed again?"
Bian Zhi's wrist was being pulled tighter and tighter, and her brows were slightly furrowed, but she did not move to disturb Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi was very confused, his eyes rarely focused: "Why do you always go back on your word? You clearly said that we won't get married, and I've always been with you. Just because you're angry with dad, so you want to marry again?"
Hearing this, Bian Zhi understood Chen Tingsi's abnormality.
The pressure on her wrist was getting stronger, but her face was calm and her voice was steady and cool.
"I'm not planning on marrying again."
"I was willful once, but that doesn't mean I will always be so willful."
Bian Zhi suddenly paused, she seemed to understand the source of Chen Tingsi's insecurity, she sighed and looked at Chen Tingsi.
"What I said to Dad yesterday was just a casual remark and doesn't count."
"I don't have one either, and I won't just marry anyone. I can't guarantee that I won't marry in the future, but if I do marry, I will definitely marry someone I love this time. That's what I really mean."
In Bian Zhi's heart, no matter whether she admits it or not.
Admit it or not, Wang Zhen is her stepmother.
Admit it or not, she is no longer Lin Jue's only child.
But there was one thing she had to admit, and that was that Shen Tingsi had always treated her very well, indulging her endlessly and covering for her.
Like a brother, he is tolerant and doting on her.
Therefore, she was willing and needed to spend this time to resolve the insecurity in Shen Tingsi's heart.
