"Actually, I couldn't understand it myself at that moment. What you said was really tempting." This was her honest opinion; she didn't need love, that was true.
"So I hope you can consider whether or not you want to accept it."
Shang Xian thought for a moment before asking, "Then why exactly did you ask Chairman Shen to consider me?"
"I've reached the right age for marriage, it's suitable." In fact, he himself didn't understand it, it was just because there was a voice in his head clamoring for him to become an immortal.
"I see." Although his words weren't very convincing, he had no reason to lie to you.
"Then I'll have to think about it carefully."
"How do I get to your house?" Shen Yi asked.
"Just take me back to my single apartment."
"Are you alone?" Shen Yi frowned slightly. He couldn't rest easy if she was alone.
"Yes, I'm all alone." Her parents have a great relationship now and they don't want to be disturbed in their private time, so she doesn't really want to go back. It's fine for her to live alone.
"Then you..." Shen Yi wanted to ask something more, but after thinking about it, he realized it was someone else's private matter for the time being and he didn't need to investigate like he was checking someone's household registration. Besides, if he wanted to know these things, he could look them up himself.
"My family's affairs are too complicated to explain in a few words, so it's best if Chairman Shen doesn't want to know." Not to mention telling others, she herself didn't want to talk about it; she was too tired.
"You can't stay home alone." Shen Yi slowed down, but showed no intention of stopping.
"Aside from spending more time with Li Ci, I'm mostly alone. It's been so many years, I'm used to it, nothing to be surprised about."
"How about we go to my place tonight?" Shen Yi said this out of the blue.
Shang Xian was a little embarrassed. If Shen Yi hadn't been such a virtuous person, she would have suspected that he was implying something.
"No, no need, I can manage on my own," Shang Xian refused.
Shen Yi was not one to give up easily, and said, "You've finally woken up after sleeping for over a year. What if something goes wrong again?"
Ultimately, he was still worried about her, a strange feeling.
"You know what it means to ask me to go to a man I barely know at his house late at night, right?" Shang Xian hinted frantically, she didn't believe Shen Yi wouldn't understand.
But she forgot that some people act very well, making it easy for her to believe them...
"What?" Shen Yi looked stunned; even Shang Xian had been fooled by him!
"I'm not going. Wouldn't it be a bit awkward to go to a man's house so late at night?" Shang Xian pretended not to know. After she said that, Shen Yi should understand.
"Does it still feel like decades ago, where a man and woman exchanging a single word could result in being drowned in a pig cage?"
Shang Xian opened his mouth, then closed it again. After a while, he organized his thoughts and said, "This is irrelevant."
"Okay," Shen Yi said, turning the car around when Shang Xian wasn't looking outside. Hmm... towards his house.
Hearing him say that, Shang Xian leaned back in her chair with relief.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Yi mentioned they had arrived, she froze the moment she stepped out of the car…
"Where is this?" Shang Xian pointed to the grand courtyard in front of him and looked at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi, however, rested his chin on his hand and looked at his own house in front of him as if deep in thought.
"My Home"
"Then why did we come to your house!"
Shen Yi put down his hand and remained silent for a while before saying, "Maybe my brain automatically tells me it's time to go home tonight. I was a little out of it while chatting with you just now..."
