Chapter 18 Coax Her
"Did he hurt you?" Shen Jize put the hood aside.
Wen Eryu shook her head and nodded: "My wrist hurts."
The next second, Shen Jize's hand covered it: "Here?"
His fingers were long and slender, and for Wen Eryu, who was obsessed with hands, she could not resist the temptation of these hands at all.
Wen Eryu swallowed his saliva: "Hmm."
Shen Jize's movements were very gentle, carefully rubbing the blue area on her wrist.
Wen Eryu's skin was very tender, and felt as smooth as milk. When Chen Jize was rubbing her, his breathing became heavier. He could still wrap his fingers around her wrist with a lot of extra joints.
"How do you feel now?" he asked.
Wen Eryu whispered, "Much better."
Shen Jize didn't ask much about Zhou Yi. He was silently tidying up the rented toy clothes. During the fight just now, the clothes were torn in several places.
He frowned slightly, but he was not worried about losing money. For Wen Eryu, everything was worth it.
Wen Eryu looked at his clothes and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Tonight is Christmas Eve, why aren't you going out to play?"
Shen Jize paused, then smiled wryly and said, "There are a lot of people on the street today, I can get paid for handing out flyers."
Wen Eryu had guessed a little bit in her heart. She was afraid that Chen Jize would feel inferior, so she smiled and said, "You look very cute in this outfit."
"..." Shen Jize was silent for a few seconds, then realized that Wen Eryu was praising him and said, "Really?"
"Of course!" Wen Eryu nodded affirmatively.
Shen Jize lowered his eyes. The girl's gaze was too passionate. No one had ever praised him so decisively before.
She was the first one.
After a while, Shen Jize put on the heavy bear headgear again and stood up.
Wen Eryu looked at him in confusion.
Under the streetlights in the riverside park, a boy in a teddy bear costume performed the most popular bear dance in front of the girl.
At this moment, the world seemed to stop and Wen Eryu had forgotten to breathe.
She didn't expect that someone as aloof as Shen Jize would dance such a cute dance for her.
Different from the coercive and domineering behavior in the previous life, Shen Jize in this life seems to be very careful in protecting Wen Eryu.
Wen Eryu suddenly figured something out, stood up with a smile, and jumped up imitating his clumsy movements.

Shen Jize personally followed her to the doorstep of Lin Cheng's house.
"Are you sure this is the place?" he asked after looking at the house number.
Wen Eryu nodded: "OK."
"Well, I'll go first." Shen Jize was about to turn around when he was stopped by the girl.
"Chen Jize." Wen Eryu said shyly, "Let's go to the bookstore to buy books together this weekend."
"Can I take it that you're asking me out?" Shen Jize said, raising his eyebrows.
Wen Eryu bit her lip: "No, no, it's fine if you don't want to go."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and knocked on Lin Cheng's door.
So embarrassing...
Shen Jize raised the corner of his mouth and said, "See you then."
At this moment, the door was opened. Lin Cheng sniffed and said in confusion, "Why are you still standing at the door? Come in."
Wen Eryu turned around, but Shen Jize was no longer behind her, and she didn't know when he left.
Lin Cheng poured her a glass of orange juice and said, "Why are you here so late? I sent you a message but you didn't reply. I thought something happened to you."
Wen Eryu took a sip and sighed, "I just ran into Zhou Yi downstairs."
"What?" Lin Cheng said in surprise, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Wen Eryu told Lin Cheng everything that had just happened.
"Let me make it clear first, I didn't come here empty-handed, it's just that my fruit basket was broken..."
Wen Eryu got angry just thinking about it. She had carefully selected this fruit basket, but she didn't expect it to be wasted like this. If she had known, she would have kicked Zhou Yi a few more times.
Lin Cheng waved her hand: "It's okay, as long as you're here."
"By the way, where are your parents?" Wen Eryu asked.
When I just walked in, I saw that Lin Cheng was the only one at home.
Lin Cheng poured herself a cup of warm water, then drank the medicine in her hand along with the water.
She said weakly, "They went to a wedding and will be back later."
After staying for a while, Wen Eryu called the driver. She was afraid of this madman Zhou Yi.

On the last weekend of the first semester of high school, Wen Eryu left home early.
She carried a Miffy backpack today and tied her hair into a simple bun.
After arriving at the bookstore, she took out a small mirror from her pocket and adjusted her bangs that were messed up by the wind. The cold wind made her face look pink.
Wen Eryu has a very delicate appearance, completely like a doll, with just the right amount of flesh on her face.
Suddenly, she saw Shen Jize standing behind her in the mirror.
Wen Eryu was startled and couldn't hold the mirror firmly in her hand for a moment. Just when it was about to fall to the ground, Shen Jize caught the mirror easily.
"Be careful." He handed the mirror back to her.
The gentle chicken pecked at the rice and nodded: "...Okay."
Shen Jize wore a black windbreaker today and stood straight. His deep eyes were hidden under his fine bangs, burying his hidden emotions.
The bookstore was on the second floor. As soon as they entered, the heating inside instantly swept away the coldness on the two of them.
Wen Eryu walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book of five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation, and flipped through it a few times.
Shen Jize followed behind her, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, if you don't know anything, you can ask me."
"Ah?" Wen Eryu was a little unresponsive. "Is it okay?"
Shen Jize coughed lightly, his eyes dodging, and he said softly, "Yeah."
His math scores have always been the best in the school. Pan Xiang has always wanted to train him and send him to the provincial competition, but he refused.
After receiving the reply, Wen Eryu immediately put the book back and said excitedly, "But there are many things I don't know. Please don't find me annoying."
"Of course not." Shen Jize said.
"By the way, winter vacation is coming soon, what are you going to do?"
Shen Jize did not answer this question for a while. For him, the winter vacation just meant a lot of free time, so he could focus on making money.
While others were checking in on various travels, he was washing piles of dishes in the restaurant kitchen.
He also wanted to play, but the burden on his shoulders reminded him every moment that he couldn't play.
"I..." Shen Jize thought for a moment, "I don't know yet."
Wen Eryu blinked and said, "Then let's celebrate the New Year together."
There were still two days until New Year's Day. Wen Eryu thought of her previous life when she had poured red wine on Chen Jize's face out of anger at the New Year's Eve dinner, causing him to embarrass himself in public, and she felt guilty.
In fact, Shen Jize just wanted her to eat something to fill her stomach. After all, she hadn't eaten all day. But Wen Eryu would never listen to him. She just felt that Shen Jize must have no good intentions.
Now that she thought about it, she seemed to have thought too badly of Shen Jize. Her prejudice outweighed her rationality, so in her eyes, no matter what he did, it was wrong.
At this time, more and more people began to come to the bookstore, and most of them were students.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Wen Eryu pouted and muttered softly, "If you don't have time, forget it..."
She was afraid that Shen Jize would refuse, so she found a way out for herself in advance.
But unexpectedly he agreed.
"good."
Shen Jize's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and Wen Eryu could just hear his answer among the crowd.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "Then I'll come to find you then."
Shen Jize pretended to be calm and said, "Yeah."
Wen Eryu and he walked around the bookstore for a while, and finally only bought a few black gel pens.
When they parted, she suddenly thought of the injury on Shen Jize's arm and said with concern: "Pull up your sleeve so I can see it."
Shen Jize subconsciously hid his right hand behind his back because he knew the scar was ugly and would scare her.
"It's much better now." He tried to end the subject.
But Wen Eryu didn't buy it at all. She walked forward and reached out to grab his arm.
Shen Jize took a few steps back, not letting her catch him.
"Why are you hiding?" Wen Eryu was a little annoyed.
He bit his cheek tightly, bitterness rising in his throat: "Ugly, don't look at it."
