Chapter 364 I heard that love in the Republic of China was nine out of ten tragic (56)
On the other hand, Shen Junsheng, wearing a deep blue pajamas, leaned against the bedpost, looking at Shen Guiwu's slightly pale face. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Was it the pleasure of revenge seeing his sickly son, or was it a complicated yet nominal father-son relationship? His eyes were complicated.
Finally, Shen Junsheng looked meaningfully at Sheng Wu, who was standing by the bed, holding hands with Chen Guiwu and remained silent.
Then he turned and left with a cold and stern look on his face.
Seeing this, Shen Qinghuan frowned deeply. Could it be that things were not as simple as she thought back then?
After Chen Guiwu spoke a few words to Shen Qinghuan and Shen Zheliu and explained some things, he directly ordered them to leave.
"Alright, you and Zheliu can both go down. Awu will stay here with me."
Hearing this, Shen Qinghuan frowned, and the possessiveness in her heart suddenly took over. However, the situation was a bit awkward now. Shen Qinghuan looked at Sheng Wu with some concern, and clenched the hands hidden under her sleeves tightly before she spoke.
"......good."
After saying that, her gaze seemed to naturally shift to Sheng Wu, but in just a second she turned around and pulled Chen Zheliu away.
After they all left, the atmosphere in the bedroom eased a little.
Sheng Wu asked when she saw some cold sweat on Chen Guiwu's body.
"Would you like me to get you some water to wipe you down?"
Chen Guiwu's face was slightly pale and hesitant. "It's okay. I'll do it myself after I recover some strength."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu didn't seek trouble for herself. Suddenly, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye.
"Your hair seems to be getting a lot grayer."
“…”
Sheng Wu's sudden words made Chen Guiwu's body pause instantly. His Adam's apple moved, and he immediately raised his hand to pull the quilt next to him to cover Sheng Wu. Then he did nothing but hugged Sheng Wu tightly.
He said nothing, but like an insecure child, he held Sheng Wu tightly in his arms, and then buried his head in Sheng Wu's fair neck.
Sheng Wu didn't say anything, but just raised her hands and hugged the man in front of her who was acting like a big puppy, and remained silent.
"Awu, do you think I'm too old..."
After a long time, Chen Guiwu lowered his voice, revealing a sense of grievance and cowardice.
“…”
Sheng Wu's mouth twitched and his expression was weird. Could it be that his previous words about having too many white hairs triggered his inferiority complex as an old man?
"No, I don't dislike you." But there were indeed more white hairs on Chen Guiwu's temples than when they first met. If she hadn't slept with him every day, she probably wouldn't have been able to notice it.
Fortunately, time never defeats the old man. Even his white hair looks as good as a young man in his twenties with silver highlights. He even has the temperament of a gentle and banished immortal who walked out of a comic book.
Chen Guiwu's heartbeat was extremely rapid at this moment. He hugged Sheng Wu, and the man's voice was deep and muffled, hiding a hint of weakness.
"You hesitated for three seconds. You hesitated."
Feeling his body temperature dropping rapidly again, Chen Guiwu deliberately placed the quilt between the two of them, and he also slightly moved away from the area close to Sheng Wu's skin.
Sheng Wu was speechless. Does this old man have any self-awareness? "..."
But I still rarely coax her with patience.
"No, I was just analyzing your mood. I was afraid that if I said something wrong it would make you sad."
Hearing this, Chen Guiwu's lips curled up slightly. He was happy that Sheng Wu cared about his feelings, but what he said was just looking for trouble.
"Then why do you care about my gray hair? Do you think I will get older and uglier?"
The voice sounded unreasonable, but Chen Guiwu frowned slightly from Sheng Wu's invisible perspective. He felt that his heartbeat, which had suddenly accelerated just now, became extremely slow again, as if it was about to stop.
The blood in his body was stagnant and his body temperature became extremely cold, but he insisted on holding Sheng Wu in his arms through the quilt, preventing her from touching his body temperature and seeing his cold and pale lips and face.
"Is it possible that you have too much black hair on your head, so even a little bit of white hair is very noticeable. I'm with you every day, so of course I'll notice it."
Sheng Wu was so angry that she laughed. She deliberately tilted her head and gently bumped Chen Guiwu's head. It was not a fight, but an intimate and coquettish gesture.
"No, you are deliberately picking on me today, right? If I really cared about you getting old, would I still agree to marry you?"
Chen Guiwu's eyelids felt heavy, but he still held on, enduring the sharp pain in his heart and the bulging veins under the pale skin on his forehead, but he smiled calmly.
"Yeah, I'm deliberately picking on you to make you pay attention to me."
The gentle voice gradually weakened, as if tired.
"I just feel like... you don't seem to love me, so you're deliberately making trouble to prove that you do."
He wanted to reach out and hold Sheng Wu's hand, but the coldness of his fingertips had made him lose consciousness. He didn't want Sheng Wu to notice anything unusual, so he could only endure and clench his joints tightly. His slightly scarlet eyes were misty, and there was an indescribable broken and painful smile.
"so......"
Hearing this, Sheng Wu did not show any emotion at this moment, but her cold and ruthless eyes paused. She lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling above her head. She pulled her lips, there was no emotion in her eyes, but the words she spoke were.
"Then you have proved that I love you."
“…I proved it.”
"But I want to... hear you say it..." Chen Guiwu felt a fishy and sweet taste rising in his throat, and even breathing became more difficult, but he still held back and swallowed all the blood.
Then, with a pale voice and a gentle smile, he lowered his head and hugged Sheng Wu tightly to prevent her from seeing his embarrassment.
“…”
Sheng Wu's pupils paused, her eyes dazed. She held Chen Guiwu across the quilt and stared at the ceiling. There was a trace of confusion and doubt in her pupils, and she pondered for a moment.
About seven seconds later, he curled his lips and smiled gently.
"Chen Guiwu, I don't love you, never have..."
There was an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
Unfortunately, before Shen Guiwu could hear these words, her eyes closed heavily during the seven seconds of her hesitation and silence.
