Zhao Shu glanced at him, but he was extremely sincere, looking like an honest man. The line about a man who is a tiger outside and a cat at home should have been funny, but he was so sincere and good-looking that it gave people the feeling that it was the most beautiful love confession.
Zhao Shu was at a loss for words for a moment, and after racking her brains, she could only come up with "slick talk" to express her dissatisfaction.
When Wei Tingsi saw that Zhao Shunai was angry, he became very anxious. He recalled the three pieces of truth and three words of truth that Wang Jiyang had given him: First, you must be thick-skinned; second, you must be extremely thick-skinned; and third, you must be thicker and thicker with each passing time.
The three-word mantra: Humility.
He asked himself, had he not been humble enough in his actions, had he not been thick-skinned enough?
His hand gripped the sword tighter involuntarily, and his forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. After hearing Zhao Shu's glib tongue, his face flushed red.
Seeing his blank expression, as if he didn't know what he had done wrong, Zhao Shu immediately deflated, "How can you break your promise? You agreed to call me that in private, not in front of others."
“I didn’t treat them as strangers.” His eyes suddenly lit up, his previous confusion vanished, and he grinned. It was backlit, and his smile was like a summer flower in full bloom, or a gentle breeze.
Zhao Shu was furious, and said firmly, "It has to be someone else!"
"I didn't treat them like human beings." His clumsy explanation made him blush even more because his words were inappropriate. He looked at Zhao Shu pitifully, like a kitten, making it impossible for anyone to be angry with him.
Actually, what he wanted to say was that a voice in his heart was telling him that if he didn't take the initiative to break the silence, he would forever remain in the shadows calling for Shushu. But if he were shameless and thick-skinned, he could call for Shushu in public and let the whole world know that the name Shushu was Weitingsi's exclusive title.
However, he was afraid of being too forward with the beautiful woman.
"They are my people, and you don't even treat them as human beings?" Zhao Shu was even angrier, her sophistry sounding so weak and powerless.
Upon hearing this, Wei Tingsi became even more anxious. He hurriedly stuffed the flowers into Zhao Shu's hand, but in his mind, he was thinking about Wang Jiyang's three rules for coaxing an angry girl: first, whatever she says is right; second, you are always wrong; and third, the apology must be substantial.
He organized his thoughts and said, "I didn't think they were people because I only saw you and thought they were trees."
Zhao Shu: ...He made a mistake and still acted so glib, it's unbearable! She crushed the flower into his hand, then stomped on him hard, and shoved him away, "Don't follow me!"
Wei Tingsi inwardly groaned and scorned Wang Jiyang's words and rules, but Zhao Shu had already passed him and moved forward. He didn't care about anything else, took a few big steps forward, reached out and grabbed Zhao Shu, took the oil-paper umbrella from his back and stuffed it into Zhao Shu's hand, "Shushu, take this."
Zhao Shu looked at the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, "Why are you giving me this?"
"It's probably going to rain later. I saw you were leaving the city without an umbrella, so I brought you one. I didn't consider your feelings earlier, I'm sorry." He said earnestly, with a look that said, "It's okay to be angry, but you need to take care of yourself." This made Zhao Shu's heart skip a beat, and she didn't return the umbrella.
After all, it feels good to be cared for, so she asked awkwardly, "How did you know it was going to rain?"
He pointed to the sky and said, "Look, the clouds are like endless peaks soaring into the sky. When cumulus clouds like these appear, thunder and rain are likely to come."
Zhao Shu looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that the cumulus clouds were rising up, like a series of continuous mountain peaks soaring into the sky.
She remembered learning a text in elementary school that seemed to say something similar. She looked away with some skepticism. "Thank you, but I was still very angry just now."
Wei Tingsi looked at her with a hurt expression and a pitiful look in his eyes, as if to say, "Look how pitiful I am, how can you bear to be angry with me?"
Zhao Shuqi was not easily moved by feigning pitifulness. Holding her oil-paper umbrella, she said firmly, "General Wei, please go back."
“You’re still angry.” He was clumsy with words, but Zhao Shu understood. He was clearly saying, “You’re still angry, how can I go back?”
This was actually just a small matter, and Zhao Shu felt that dwelling on it further would be too pretentious, but she couldn't easily forgive someone who broke their promise.
“If you follow me, I’ll be even angrier.” If he follows, wouldn’t that be telling Gao Dan and the others that he has some shady relationship with this guy?
“I’ve heard people say that if someone is angry with you, you should never avoid seeing them, because time will not heal everything, it will only make the relationship between two people go from cracks to indifference. If you are angry with me, how can I leave?” He didn’t know where he learned this saying from, but he vaguely remembered Qin Ji saying it. Emperor Mingde and Empress Yide were like this, as were the Empress Dowager and Emperor Mingde.
However, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Mingde were mother and son, and blood was thicker than water, so they could not be compared. These were Qin Ji's original words.
Zhao Shu sighed. Was she being too sentimental? Wei Tingsi was not only her savior, but he had also made a special trip to deliver an umbrella. Moreover, he seemed extremely sincere and earnest, with a face full of anxiety and helplessness, which did not seem like he was lying.
"Okay, I'm not angry anymore." As soon as she said that, she suddenly realized that the other person hadn't said they wanted to come along...
He smiled brightly after being forgiven, his eyes practically overflowing with joy. After laughing, he shook his head. "No, I'm not comfortable in this desolate place. Besides, it's about to rain, and we need to find somewhere to take shelter."
Looking up at the sky, I saw that the bottom layer of the cumulus clouds that had just towered into the sky had begun to darken, and the cloud peaks were becoming blurred, as if they were about to collapse.
But, having just been forgiven, he goes against his own wishes—is this kind of person a good person?
