Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Tough and childish.
Two days on a business trip.
It feels different when I go home again.
Although the sky is still the same sky, the scenery is still the same scenery.
But the moment the plane landed, Su Tu couldn't help but feel the same way when he saw the aisle quickly filled with people queuing up. He suddenly started to miss the small sofa at home.
The same goes for Shi Shu. From the moment he boarded the plane in H City, he always wanted to hold her hand, consciously or unconsciously.
But unfortunately, as soon as I entered the cabin, I met a few swimming fans who came over and exclaimed, excitedly asking if they could get an autograph or take a photo with me.
Su Tu didn't think twice at the time and immediately shook his hand away, acting as if he didn't know him at all, and decisively handed the person over.
Throughout the rest of the process, I don’t know if she really felt that it had a bad influence, or simply didn’t want to please others, but her hands were always busy, either preparing meals or studying her single-player games while disconnected from the Internet.
I thought I would just have to wait until I got off the plane.
But as soon as I stepped into the airport lobby, the fingertips that I had finally touched were suddenly put back into my pocket.
He frowned and looked at her, but it seemed like it was exactly what she wanted. He smiled and pointed at the "Elite Male Model" on a huge car billboard in front of him.
Regretfully, he said, “Do you feel like no one will recognize you once you get off the plane?”
Shi Shu: “…”
Su Tu suddenly became excited. Even though the person was right next to him, he kept whispering to the advertisements that kept appearing: "It's you again~"
As she strolled to the parking lot, she suddenly saw the conspicuous black off-road vehicle and suddenly remembered that she still didn't know how he found her hotel.
Just as he opened his mouth to ask, he caught a glimpse of black and red in the back seat out of the corner of his eye.
She tilted her head and saw that it was a handful of black bucks in beautifully packaged vintage style.
I was stunned for two seconds.
Realizing what it was, his eyes froze: "..."
Shi Shu got on the driver's seat and looked in the direction she was looking. He paused as if he had just remembered something. It was as if the established procedure had suddenly been exposed, and he was a little unsure how to respond.
After a while, he rolled his Adam's apple and explained in a clumsy way, "I was going to give it to you."
"It's not fresh anymore. Maybe next time."
"hold head high…"
Su Tu was confused and a little uncomfortable.
It's like accidentally walking into a proposal scene in advance, unintentionally disrupting the rhythm. I want to pretend to be calm, act like it's actually no big deal, and then ease the awkwardness by chatting.
In the end, he could only utter: "Did you buy it the day before yesterday?"
Even more embarrassing...
It's like mocking someone who wanted to confess their feelings the day before yesterday but failed...
Shi Shu was holding the steering wheel.
He gave her a warning glance.
Su Tu immediately pursed his lips, but soon seemed to be attracted by the scenery. He pressed the corners of his lips to look out the window, but he was still muttering stubbornly in his heart.
No wonder he left right after dropping her off that day.
I’m afraid he’s in a hurry to set up the scene?
What a pity.
It's of no use.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little curious again.
When exactly is the next time?
After pondering for a moment, she glanced back stealthily, trying to judge from his face how likely it was that she would find out, when she suddenly heard him say, "Are you free tonight?"
Su Tu was stunned: "...Ah?"
Is this so fast?
On the airport highway, Shi Shu only glanced at it quickly before looking straight ahead: "Han Yi's birthday."
"Let's go together when we have time."
Birthday?
Su Tu paused visibly, and a subtle disappointment rose in his heart. He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and asked expressionlessly: "What if there is no time?"
Shi Shu didn't hesitate: "Let's not go together."
Su Tu: “…”
It sounds quite pleasant though.
But in fact, you don’t have to take sides like this.
She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "You go by yourself. It's not appropriate for me to go, and I don't have any gifts prepared."
He said without hesitation: "I'm not prepared either."
“…”
Why do you seem a little proud?
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Shi Shu stretched out his arm, took the opportunity to grab her hand hanging in front of her, took it into his palm, and gently squeezed it twice.
Su Tu suddenly looked up and saw that his knuckles were almost gone because of the large palm, and his cheeks began to feel hot again.
I couldn't quite remember when he started to become so unscrupulous.
Now hug and hold hands, even...
Does it mean that my consent is not required?
Thinking of this, she suddenly struggled, unwilling to give in. Just as she raised her neck, wanting to tell him that this was wrong, he suddenly checked: "Do you know how many days of remedial training I have left?"
Su Tu paused: "..."
I subconsciously replied, two days.
In just two days, he will begin months of winter training.
During this period, I don’t know whether I can come back.
He looked into her eyes and tightened his grip: "I don't have time, Su Tu."
implied meaning.
I don't want to spend my time with anyone other than her.
Her heart was beating fast and she felt dazed.
Then, as if forgetting to struggle, his ears flushed red as he muttered a silent compromise: "...I understand."
-
The 4S shop notified me yesterday evening that the car had been repaired and asked someone to pick it up as soon as possible.
Shi Shu drove the car directly over.
After completing the formalities and picking up the car, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
If you decide to attend the birthday party in the evening, you must prepare a gift and then go back to clean up.
Time was running out, and the palms of our hands were getting a little sweaty from holding hands for so long.
Su Tu wanted to send the man away, so he refused his request to send him off again and told him to go back and change his clothes first and come back to find him after he had packed up.
Shi Shu didn't know what he was thinking about.
After a brief thought, he didn't refuse.
Su Tu didn't think much about it. He returned to the driver's seat and drove to a nearby shopping mall.
I quickly picked out the gifts and then quickly went home.
Unlock with fingerprint and open the door.
I took a step inside out of inertia, but was shocked to find that my eyes went dark. I vaguely saw dense black shadows all over the ceiling, like a room full of dormant birds.
Startled by the sound of the door opening, they all fluttered and swayed in the free air flow in an instant.
"ah--"
Su Tu was so scared that he let out a low cry, and his computer bag fell to the ground. He turned around and was about to run out when his vision suddenly became clear again.
She opened her eyes wide and looked back in horror.
Then I realized that it seemed like the entire ceiling was filled with...balloons?
Her expression froze as she realized that this might be the scene of someone's failed confession the day before, and she took two trembling steps inside.
I closed the door and looked with lingering fear at the big bad wolves lined up neatly, one next to the other, filling the entire living room ceiling like a team. I felt a little...
It’s hard to put it into words.
When I looked down again, I found a deflated one lying on the workbench.
It should be the one I returned last time.
The wolf's face was full of eight jewelry boxes in different packaging.
She recognized that two of them were also returned by her.
She also opened and looked at the other six new ones.
As expected, I easily recognized two limited editions...
He stood there in a daze for a while, looking at the balloons in the sky whose ropes had all been cut and could not be taken down, and looking at the bracelets in the box, all of which were engraved with letters and could not be returned or exchanged.
Suddenly, she realized that he was going to return all the things she had returned, even worse?
In a forceful, childish way.
She couldn't quite imagine the mental process he went through while fiddling with these things, and the expression on his face when he realized the result was a bit creepy and hard to judge...
Finally, I couldn't hold back my laughter, and dialed the number in anger and amusement, and asked him directly: "What do you want to do?"
The other party did not speak: "..."
Like knowing that he is in the wrong.
Su Tu rarely had the upper hand like this. The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, but his voice was not obvious: "Have you considered the possibility of me waking up in the middle of the night and being scared to death?"
Shi Shu: “…”
Su Tu: "And these bracelets, combined they're more expensive than this house, right? If you put them here, do I have to hold them with me when I sleep at night?"
Shi Shu: “…”
The less he spoke, the more imposing she became: "When you come over later, bring a box with you and pack them away."
Hearing this, he finally said, "I can't pretend to leave."
“…”
Hearing this, Su Tu looked up again. He really couldn't pretend to leave, unless he punctured them all or let them fly away directly. The former was too cruel, and the latter was too spectacular.
After considering it carefully, he took a step back and said, "Then take the bracelet with you."
Shi Shu still rejected it outright: "You can't take it with you."
"?"
Su Tu paused and tried to explain to him: "This is just a small one-bedroom rental apartment. I don't have a safe at home, let alone a combination lock. It's really not safe to keep it here."
Shi Shu's attitude was unyielding: "That's not safe."
?
What's the meaning?
If it’s stolen, it’s stolen?
Su Tu couldn't help but frown, and couldn't help but criticize this wasteful behavior: "Do you think it's just 'such a small amount of money', it doesn't matter if it's gone?"
Her tone was serious, and she had hoped it would alert him, but he didn't even think about it: "Yeah."
“…”
She choked for a long time before finally saying, "Why don't you just throw the bank card in my face? That would be more direct."
Unexpectedly, he actually reciprocated: "Sure."
“…”
Su Tu had no idea what was wrong with him, and he was too lazy to continue to do so, so he just said directly: "I don't care, keep your things where they belong."
"You'll have to take them away later."
-
Hang up the phone.
Su Tu decided to take a shower on the spur of the moment. He walked out of the bathroom only after feeling refreshed by the warm water and the misty steam. He wrapped himself in a turban and bathrobe.
As a result, as soon as I looked up, I saw that the living room was already dark, and a large figure appeared without me noticing.
Strong presence.
It almost filled up the living room.
When their eyes met, she frowned, pointed at the ceiling, then at the workbench, and hummed unyieldingly, "The things are right there, figure it out yourself..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Shi Shu stood up, walked over from the sofa in two steps, put his hand on the waist, and carried the person to the workbench.
With his hands on either side like a solid wall, he leaned over and looked at her without saying a word.
"W-What are you doing?"
Su Tu's voice trembled, and he instinctively leaned back, supported his arms behind his back, and moved backward in a small arc to create some distance and dilute the danger in front of him.
However, she soon discovered that every time she moved her body back a little, the bathrobe would move up a little, not only would the belt become loose, but her lower body might also be exposed.
I froze honestly...
Shi Shu let the man toss around for a while before grabbing his waist again. Suddenly, he brought the man back to him. His brows were low and his voice was cold and hard, but he didn't allow any arguments: "You can't take him away."
“…”
Su Tu's arm left the table and his body lost balance. He subconsciously grabbed his shoulders and took a breath. His knees were forced to press against his thigh muscles.
The heat from the shower hadn't even dissipated yet, but it had already gathered into a more tangible heat, making her feel a little thirsty. Even speaking became difficult: "Then why did you buy so much?"
She was so nervous that her eyes were stiff. She just raised her chin and looked back at him blankly and warily, like a prey being grabbed by the scruff of the neck, wanting to struggle but not daring to.
It seemed that he wanted to gain sympathy by being well-behaved, but Shi Shu's eyes became increasingly dim, and his voice was equally difficult: "You said it."
Su Tu, afraid of angering him, held his breath and asked, "What?"
Shi Shu's eyelids were thin, and his pupils were dark. He looked extremely aggressive when he approached. He made no effort to hide his intentions at this moment: "If you accept my gift, you are prepared to agree to my request."
Su Tu blinked: "......?"
Suddenly I remembered that I did say something like this on the day I returned the gift to him?
But……
She tried to tilt her neck back to get some oxygen, then looked up at the balloons in the sky and then looked down at the bracelet on the table.
I couldn't help but turn around with some doubt: "Do you think that since I can't refuse it, it means I accept it?"
Shi Shu didn't say anything.
It looks like the default.
After a moment, he turned his eyes away impatiently, put his arm around the person, and with the other hand, he grabbed the file bag on the table, and with a flick of his long fingers, he opened the bag.
He raised his hand and shook out all the documents inside.
Su Tu tilted his head and saw the bank cards, real estate certificates, and some paper documents such as contracts that fell from the box. His pupils, which were almost dilated, suddenly dilated.
Her eyelashes fluttered in disbelief: "What are you doing!"
After Shi Shu finished, he placed the document bag on the table. It was as if he had placed a bet, but he was unsure if these chips were enough. He turned around, looked down at his "prize," and said, "This is all I have on hand."
"What else do you want? I'll go back and sort it out."
“…”
Su Tu seemed to be frightened by this scene and had no intention of continuing the romantic affair. He glared at him and kicked him angrily: "Are you crazy?"
"Um."
Shi Shu held the back of her neck with one hand and said nonchalantly, "It's almost there."
By the time they returned the gifts, they had each calmed down for three days, and there were only four days left before he resumed training.
She says she needs to calm down and asks him to calm down too.
He didn't want to agree.
Because if she really calmed down, what would he have to do with her?
He didn't come with her at the 4S store just now, and because he didn't come, she had no way to return the gift.
But since she asked him to bring his bank card, that was a different matter.
As far as he was concerned, she could have whatever she wanted, as long as she wanted it.
Because what he wanted was to be needed by her.
Su Tu was in a state of tension, still in a trance from being overwhelmed by the huge fortune, and he felt that he was staring at his lips again.
His slender finger bones also moved forward slowly, and in an instant they supported her chin. His deep eyebrows and eyes were filled with strong pressure, and he asked her bluntly: "Do you know what I want to do now?"
“…”
Su Tu's expression froze, and he swallowed uncontrollably. However, he didn't want to kiss him at this moment at all. He suddenly pushed the hand that was holding his shoulder forward, and cursed him with a red face: "Rogue!"
He squeezed out space, moved down from the edge of the table, and cursed again: "Mad!"
Then, as if he couldn't communicate with him at all, he kept pushing him out the door: "Get out!"
He looked stunned and tried to grab her wrist: "Su Tu..."
She shook him off and pushed him again: "Get out——"
“…”
soon.
The door slammed shut.
Shi Shu was locked out of the door again, and his mood was even more complicated than last time.
I feel a little helpless and a little annoyed at my own impatience.
Holding the door handle with one hand, hesitating whether to unlock it and go in again, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake. If it went well, he would try again...
The door suddenly opened from the inside.
Su Tu frowned and threw the packed file bag back out as if he wanted to kick the person out completely.
When someone caught it, he quickly closed it again.
And locked it from the inside with great determination.
Shi Shu's Adam's apple rolled slightly: "..."
Just as he was about to go forward and knock on the door, he suddenly thought of something and lowered his head, opened the bag and rummaged through it. After a moment, he looked up in shock and heard his heartbeat suddenly become disordered.
No bracelet.
Not a single one.
She accepted it.
all.
