Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Be obedient.
“Snap—”
There was a loud bang on the dining table, followed by the sound of chairs being pulled out, and two uninvited figures who seemed to be coming to call someone to account.
Wu Wencai was used to being in a high position, so when he was suddenly faced with such a provocation, it was impossible for him to swallow his anger.
As soon as he entered the compartment, he pointed at my nose and tried to take the initiative: "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you——"
The moment he saw the situation clearly, he suddenly fell silent.
Logically speaking, the sports circle and the design circle have nothing to do with each other, and this matter has nothing to do with Shi Shu at all. No matter how capable he is, he cannot influence matters outside of his profession.
But the social influence of the former is there. If they intentionally expose the matter, can their actions really stand up to scrutiny?
Zhuo Xuefeng's usually greasy face now looked a little pale, as if he had been hit by a stick and was standing there in a daze.
Staring at the two people behaving intimately at the table, Shi Shu even added a few more dishes for her as if no one was around.
Although neither of them exchanged glances, he still felt uneasy and couldn't let Wu Wencai continue to stand there stiffly.
He could only wipe the sweat off his face, smile apologetically and say, "Isn't this... Captain Shi? How come you're in the mood to eat fish here today?"
Half a minute passed.
No one paid any attention.
"Ha ha……"
Zhuo Xuefeng's forehead was sweating, and he was laughing so hard that he looked exhausted. However, no matter how embarrassed he was, he had to continue, "I was just joking with Mr. Wu."
"It's perfectly normal to bid for your company. Mr. Wu must have been drunk, so he just casually agreed. These are just casual things that happened over the table, so don't take them seriously."
"Just treat it as a joke and let it go, but don't take it to heart. It wouldn't look good if you made a big deal out of something that wasn't even there, right?"
implied meaning.
Reporting something without evidence is not only useless but also damages your reputation.
Shi Shu put down his chopsticks and saw that Su Tu was still a little dazed. It was rare for him to stare at him without blinking.
After staring at each other quietly for a few seconds, he asked her, "Do you want to apologize?"
“…”
Su Tu shook his head in a daze, still staring at him.
It doesn't make sense.
They won't admit their mistakes sincerely, and she doesn't want to forgive them.
Shi Shu finally understood, and raised his eyes as if offering alms, glancing coldly to the side: "Do you want me to call security or the police?"
Zhuo Xuefeng: “…”
Wu Wencai: “…”
After the sound of the film, the compartment returned to silence.
The fish soup sat still after it was served, and along with the food on the side, it gradually lost temperature in silence. Shi Shu waited for a while before whispering, "Is it time to eat?"
It seems to clear the obstacles.
Just so that she can eat well.
“…”
Su Tu seemed to be sick and had been in a daze for a long time, but he was still well-behaved and did as he was told according to his expression.
It's like when you get into trouble and just want to run away and hide, but you still accidentally run into your parents. Even after being protected out of favoritism, you are still worried that you will be locked up and punished.
After every two bites, she would secretly look up at him.
But no.
He didn't ask anything.
He just quietly accepted her temptation and, during the process, added more food to her plate without making a sound.
It wasn't until the end of dinner that the waiter brought two takeout orders.
Shi Shu opened the package, cooled half a cup of hot water, and handed the cold medicine and the cup over before speaking again: "Take the medicine."
“…”
Su Tu found this scene quite baffling, but what was even more baffling was that she actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
While confirming that he was safe and non-aggressive, the little bit of obedience that came out of vigilance was also disappearing.
There was a hint of mischief in his eyes, "remembering to eat but not to be punished". He looked at the pills in front of him, but just didn't want to move.
She has to be coaxed or scolded before taking medicine.
Giving a candy works, giving a slap in the face works too, or like grandma did, giving a slap and then giving candy.
You have to do something to make her feel emotionally compelled to do it.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing to just do as I'm told?
After a long stalemate, with nothing happening, she naturally pushed the pill away: "I'm fine now..."
But he was blocked by a big white rabbit, and along with his helpless sigh, it broke into his senses: "Be obedient."
Su Tu looked up: "..."
The work was done successfully and my face turned red.
Shi Shu watched her swallow the medicine awkwardly, but he didn't feel up to open the candy for a long time. He didn't comment, just glanced at the time and asked, "Do you still need to go back to work overtime?"
Su Tu came back to his senses and nodded: "Yeah..."
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
…
Close the passenger door.
Shi Shu walked around to the driver's seat, turned on the car stereo, lowered the volume, and said, "If you're sleepy, take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Su Tu slowly put on his seat belt. After holding it in for a while, he couldn't help but mutter: "...Aren't you driving?"
She thought that when he said he was leaving, he meant that they would each drive home.
But as soon as they entered the parking lot, he spread out his hands and motioned her to take the key. She seemed to have gotten used to it and subconsciously handed it over.
Shi Shu didn't answer. He glanced at the rearview mirror and drove the car into the main road. "It's convenient to take a taxi."
Su Tu: “…”
The reason is too far-fetched.
Too lazy to drive here, but willing to help her drive back?
Last time it was because she was drunk and couldn't refuse, but this time she was conscious, so was there any need to send her off specially?
Could it be that besides watching live food broadcasts, he also has a hobby of being a driver for others?
Probably aware that her mumbling was a bit ungrateful, she was pointing fingers in her mind but remained silent on the surface.
Shi Shu still grasped the clue from her not-so-honest look, tilted his head to look at her, and answered without being asked: "The cold medicine makes me sleepy, and it's not safe to drive."
"…oh."
Su Tu choked and dared not mutter anymore.
I leaned back quietly in the chair, watching the moonlight passing through the window and casting its shadow into the carriage. Soft music played soothingly in my ears, and the effect of the medicine wore off over time, diluting my senses unconsciously.
She blinked her eyes and vaguely remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something, and her eyelids had drooped uncontrollably.
The last thing that caught my eye was a strong and tough, yet strangely reassuring, straight profile.
Maybe it was too eye-catching.
Even though my consciousness has faded, the vague outline still lingers in my mind for a long time, quietly extending into a hazy dream...
She held a piece of candy in her hand, and her heart seemed to be filled with sweetness. Then, those precious images that were only stored deep in her brain began to unfold one by one.
-Do you know the phone number of the Municipal Supervision Bureau?
- Bidding ends.
-I'll help you fight.
She had experienced many such partialities without any reason, and they were composed of the unkind face of an old lady.
-Who said that? Who said you were born by a mother but not raised by one? Take me there now, and I'll break his legs right there!
-What? My granddaughter seduced your son? Why don't you open your eyes and see what your stupid son looks like!
-Oh, so declining grades mean premature love? Then is your declining teaching quality due to your twilight romance?
What kind of unlucky company requires you to work overtime all day long? Your boss won't let you go home unless you go home? Why don't you ask him if this is what the labor law says...
However, the scene changed and everything became a bubble.
She stood numbly in front of the altar, her expression dazed. She heard the cries of relatives, some genuine and some fake, and her aunt's whispers, sometimes high and sometimes low: "Who knows?"
"She's loved staying home since she was little, and she refused to go to university. Even in the past few years, when she started working, she only came back every few days, as if she wanted to stay with the old lady forever. Who knows what she did this time? She was gone for half a month, and when she came back, she was completely cold..."
"Hmm..."
"But to be honest, it's a good thing he died directly. It's better than hanging there half-dead and bringing trouble to us young people..."
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly grabbed his collar.
Su Tu, who was half dead just now standing in front of the portrait, suddenly had bloodshot eyes and grabbed her and asked loudly: "What did you say——"
My aunt was shocked: "You little bitch! What do you want to do?!"
Su Tu turned a deaf ear to him and just grabbed the man tightly and yelled: "What did you say? I asked you what you said -"
After that, she was forcibly pulled away by the crowd, and her aunt's pent-up anger completely erupted: "You stupid girl, you are usually so weak that you can't even lift half a bucket of water, and you dare to use this little bit of strength against me?"
"I don't want to think that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have a place to live! How could you have lived to this age? What's wrong? Are you not comfortable living here? Am I not serving you well enough?"
"That's fine! I'll sell this shabby house tomorrow. The old woman is dead now, so there's no point in keeping this haunted house! I might as well use it to get some money to find a wife for your cousin..."
She closed her eyes tightly and heard her own sobbing and struggling becoming increasingly weaker: "Don't sell it! Please, uncle, don't sell it..."
"Then I'll buy it! Can I buy it?"
"I have savings! I'll transfer it to you now! If it's not enough, I'll sell my car, get a loan, or borrow from my parents! Don't sell it yet, wait for me, okay..."
"Don't sell uncle, don't sell..."
"Don't go, grandma, don't go—"
The car drove into the basement.
When Shi Shu turned off the engine and looked over, she had no idea what she was dreaming about. Her body was trapped in the seat belt and she was struggling weakly. Her lips were pressed into a straight line, and sporadic tears were faintly coming out of the tip of her nose.
Sadness broke through the wall at a certain moment, and the fair and clean little face was instantly filled with tears.
He frowned, leaned forward to unbuckle the seat belt, and put his fingers close to her cheek. While hesitating, the figure in front of him finally broke free from the shackles and suddenly opened her eyes in panic!
There were no lights on inside the car.
Su Tu was gasping for breath. In the dark and enclosed environment, he suddenly caught sight of a broad figure. It was like he had lost his footing in the vast ocean and hurriedly grabbed a piece of driftwood.
Instinctively, I reached out and hooked my arm around his neck, sobbing and hugging him tightly: "Don't go——"
Suddenly, warmth and softness came into my arms.
Shi Shu's hands were still hanging in the air, his body frozen in shock: "..."
