Chapter 30 Heart Knot
With a "bang", the door of the laboratory was slammed open by Shen Jize.
The loud noise startled Wen Eryu who was sitting in the corner.
Shen Jize strode towards her. The light from the corridor shone on him, and the halo outlined his figure, like a savior.
"Wen Eryu." He walked forward and squatted down, calling her name.
The girl on the ground had not yet adapted to the light outside, but when she heard the voice she was most familiar with, the stone in her heart finally settled down.
Wen Eryu's tense body softened at this moment and she collapsed in Chen Jize's arms.
"Why did you come just now?" She hugged his waist tightly with tears in her eyes.
"...I'm sorry, I'm late." Shen Jize lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
Wen Eryu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke: "Who... who told you... to meet here."
She wiped all her tears on Shen Jize's clothes.
Shen Jize was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "...I didn't say I wanted to meet you here."
Wen Eryu:???
Shen Jize's eyes darkened, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes, and he already had the answer in his heart.
"A boy told me that." Wen Eryu thought about it and it seemed that she didn't ask too much at that time. Judging from Shen Jize's reaction, she must have been deceived.
Shen Jize touched her head and said softly, "Don't trust others too easily next time, including me."
"..." Wen Eryu raised her head, sniffed, and replied softly, "Yeah."
"That day...it was my fault." Shen Jize paused and said, "I hurt you."
Wen Eryu looked at him blankly. She didn't expect that he would apologize to her for such a small matter.
In her previous life, she couldn't even imagine it.
But in fact, she was also wrong. She was too pretentious.
Shen Jize is such a good person, she shouldn't waste his love so willfully.
"Actually, I'm also wrong." Wen Eryu looked at him and said, "I was too emotional."
The air was quiet for a second, and she heard Chen Jize say, "You can always be like a child in front of me, making trouble, crying, laughing, and I will always tolerate everything about you, even those imperfections."
Wen Eryu was like a puppet at this moment, standing there stupidly.
She never knew Shen Jize thought this way.
In her previous life, Shen Ji Ze was tyrannical and overbearing, with a strong desire for control. His love was suffocating, and she tried desperately to escape.
But who would have thought that in this life, the young Chen Jize knew how to respect Wen Eryu's ideas. His love was restrained and cautious, for fear of disturbing the rose growing in the barren land of his heart.
Wen Eryu was speechless for a long time. The faces of Chen Jize in front of him and Chen Jize ten years later actually overlapped at this moment.
It turned out that the person she loved had always been him.
It wasn't until Shen Jize's voice began to amplify in her mind that she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Why are you distracted?" Shen Jize asked.
Wen Eryu shook his head and said, "It's okay."
She wanted to cry again.
"Chen Jize, could you please not be so nice to me?"
"What's wrong?" He smiled at her.
Wen Eryu took a deep breath. In fact, she was a little girl with many shortcomings, but from childhood to adulthood, she had always lived in the love of the people around her.
She was afraid that these would hurt Shen Jize.
After all, no one can love someone who is not related by blood for a long time.
But——Shen Ji Ze will meet.
He used his rough fingertips to wipe away the tears from the corners of Wen Eryu's eyes.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it."
Wen Eryu bit her lip and nodded.
Before the two of them got up and left, Pan Xiang's voice was heard outside.
"Strange, why is the door of this laboratory open? Who is inside?"
Wen Eryu hid behind the door and didn't even dare to breathe.
Pan Xiang's footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Seeing this, Shen Jize made a "hush" gesture to her, and then was about to stand up to attract Pan Xiang's attention.
But the next second, Lin Cheng and Li Wei arrived just in time. When they saw Pan Xiang, they immediately grabbed him.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Teacher Pan, so you are here."
Pan Xiang frowned: "Don't be so playful with me. There must be something wrong with you coming to me."
Li Wei smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head: "How could Teacher Pan think of me like that?"
"What are you two doing here?" Pan Xiang asked.
Lin Cheng took over the conversation: "I lost a book in the lab a few days ago. Li Wei is brave and not afraid of the dark, so I dragged him here to look for it."
Pan Xiang thought for a while. It seemed that Teacher Wu from the laboratory had told him yesterday that a classmate had left his book here, and these two people didn't look like they were lying.
He said, "Did you find the book?"
Lin Cheng shook her head.
Pan Xiang said, "Don't look for it today. I'll ask Teacher Wu to bring it to you tomorrow during the day."
"...Okay." Lin Cheng could only agree reluctantly.
Pan Xiang turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he stopped and looked back at the two men.
Lin Cheng and Li Wei's hearts were in their throats.
The next second, Pan Xiang said, "Don't forget to close the laboratory door when you leave."
"No problem!" they said in unison.
After everyone left, Lin Cheng and Li Wei walked into the laboratory.
Wen Eryu hid behind Shen Jize, and when she saw Lin Cheng, she immediately ran to her side.
"Chengcheng, why are you here?" she asked, "Have you finished your performance?"
Lin Cheng nodded: "Yeah, you haven't come to see me yet."
Wen Eryu said helplessly: "I've been locked in here."
"We know."
"You guys?" Wen Eryu looked at the three of them in confusion.
Lin Cheng said: "It was Shu Qi who locked you in here."
"Shuqi?" Wen Eryu didn't expect it was her, but when she thought about it carefully, when the door was closed, she seemed to hear a girl talking, but she thought she was hallucinating.
"Fuck, I really can't stand her." Li Wei complained to Shen Jize beside him, "Last time she wanted me to help her pass a message to you, and I didn't agree, so she reported me for bringing my phone to school. I really admire this woman. She's even more annoying than An Xinqing."
Lin Cheng and Wen Eryu couldn't help laughing.
Shen Jize said: "Don't pay attention to her in the future. After a long time, she will no longer have this passion."
Li Wei thought it made sense. "Okay."
After saying that, he walked to the door of the laboratory and prepared to close it.
Only then did I realize that the laboratory door was dented and the door lock was loose.
"Fuck, Shen Jize, how much strength did you use?"
Shen Jize said calmly: "The situation was urgent at the time."
Li Wei: “…”
After leaving the laboratory, the four of them walked onto the playground, where the bonfire party was in its final stages.
Although it is a bonfire party, H City actually does not allow fires to be set on large scales to prevent the occurrence of fires.
On the temporary stage, all the teachers in the school were forced to perform collectively, and the audience cheered.
Lin Cheng suddenly suggested, "We're going home tomorrow, why don't we go out for dinner?"
Li Wei immediately replied: "I think so."
Lin Cheng looked at Wen Eryu expectantly: "You and Shen Jize should come too."
Wen Eryu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and looked at the boy next to her.
"Are you going?"
Shen Jize tilted his head and met her gaze: "Yeah."
Seeing that everyone was okay with it, Lin Cheng smiled and said, "I'll decide the place. Just remember to come on time."
Just as Wen Eryu was about to return to the dormitory, Shen Jize called her.
After a while, he asked someone to call Shu Qie.
"You tell me."
Shu Qi lowered her head and pinched her fingers timidly: "Wen Eryu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have locked you in the lab on purpose."
Wen Eryu: "Your apology is of no use to me."
Shu Qi was silent. She stood there with red eyes, feeling a little awkward.
From time to time, some confused students passed by and looked at her with a look of surprise.
Shuqi was so ashamed. What was the difference between this and shitting in public?
"I...I've already apologized, what else do you want?" She was still not convinced.
Wen Eryu retorted, "Come on, you used some tricks to lock me up, and now you're still acting like this, do you know you're wrong?"
Shu Qi: “…”
The voice was so loud that the onlookers could hear it clearly. For a moment, everyone pointed the finger at Shu Qi.
"This girl is so bad, she looks like a gangster girl."
"Yeah, they even locked him up. Oh my god, is this still a society ruled by law?"
"I know her. Her name is Shuqi. She usually plays best with that school beauty An Xinqing."
"Hey, but I heard they broke up recently?"
"Oh my god, why didn't I eat this melon? Tell me quickly."
“…”
Everyone was talking at the same time, and Shuqin almost buried her head in the ground. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and ran away crying.
*
When the holiday officially started, Wen Eryu was still woken up by the alarm clock.
After she dressed up, she asked the driver to take her to the mall.
Lin Cheng was already waiting at the door.
After Wen Eryu got off the car, the two walked into a restaurant specializing in Hangzhou cuisine.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Jize and Li Wei walked in.
"You've arrived just in time. Come and order some food." Lin Cheng greeted them, "It's my treat today."
"Oh, oh, oh, when did Miss Lin become so generous? Well, I'm going to make you bleed today."
Li Wei grabbed the menu and checked several dishes in a few seconds.
Lin Cheng gave him a slap on the forehead: "I'm usually very generous, okay? Can you say something to make me happy?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Li Wei said with a grin.
Wen Eryu sat opposite Shen Jize. The spotlight from above shone on his angular face, causing Wen Eryu's heart to skip a beat unconsciously.
She wore a white puff-sleeved short skirt today, and slightly curled the ends of her hair and bangs when she went out. Her watery eyes blinked at Shen Jize.
The person opposite silently picked up the tea that the waiter had just poured and took a sip. The next second, the tip of his tongue was instantly burned by the boiling tea and a bubble appeared.
Shen Jize took a breath.
Wen Eryu couldn't help laughing.
Shen Jize coughed lightly: "What are you laughing at?"
She shook her head: "Nothing."
At this time, Lin Cheng handed her the menu: "Order whatever you want."
Wen Eryu took it and looked at the dishes on the menu carefully. Then, she looked up at Shen Jize and asked, "The stone pot tofu here is delicious. Would you like some?"
Shen Jize whispered, “I’m allergic to tofu.”
Wen Eryu was stunned and immediately crossed out the check mark: "Sorry, I don't know."
He turned his head and said lightly: "It's okay."
"It's okay, there are still many delicious foods here." Wen Eryu said, "What do you like to eat?"
Shen Jize was silent for a while, then said, "Dry pot cauliflower."
"Me too!" Wen Eryu said with a smile.
Lin Cheng suddenly came over and said, "Have you two been hanging around here long enough? Li Wei and I are starving."
"Okay, okay." Wen Eryu smiled awkwardly and handed the menu to the waiter.
Today happened to be the weekend, and there were a lot of people in the restaurant, all seats were occupied, so the dishes were naturally served a little slowly.
But the four of them were already starving, and Li Wei took the initiative to suggest going downstairs to buy some KFC to fill their stomachs.
After he bought it, Lin Cheng picked up a red bean pie and was about to eat it.
Wen Eryu quickly stopped him and said, "Wait until it cools down a bit before eating."
Lin Cheng asked: "Why?"
Wen Eryu said: "After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, he put them in this red bean pie."
Lin Cheng: “…”
When she realized what was happening, she burst into laughter and pounded the table, but finally put the red bean pie down obediently.
Wen Eryu noticed that the corner of Shen Jize's mouth raised an arc, and then he stuck out his tongue at him.
After dinner, Lin Cheng and Li Wei went home first.
Wen Eryu took Shen Jize for a walk in the mall, and finally stopped in front of a clothing store.
"Chen Jize, haven't we ever worn couple outfits?" she asked, looking up.
Shen Jize nodded: "It seems so."
"Come on, let's go buy one now."
Wen Eryu excitedly took his hand and walked in.
As soon as they entered, she picked out a pink short-sleeved shirt for him.
Every time I saw him, he was wearing either black or white clothes. Wen Eryu suspected that there was no other clothes in his wardrobe except these two colors.
Shen Jize looked at the pink short-sleeved shirt and frowned into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
"Does it have to be this one?"
Wen Eryu held the clothes in front of his chest and said, "I think this one suits you very well."
Shen Jize: "..."
"Don't you like it?"
"No." He added, fearing Wen Eryu would be angry, "I like everything you pick."
"You're just sweet-talking." Wen Eryu pushed him gently.
This dress happened to be a couple's style, so she took a size S women's style from the shelf and then went to the fitting room to change into it.
When Wen Eryu came out, Shen Jize was already sitting on the small sofa waiting for her wearing that dress.
"Look, I have pretty good taste." Wen Eryu pulled him in front of the fitting mirror and said, "You still look handsome in pink. Don't always wear those dull colors in the future."
"Okay." Shen Jize's eyes were always on her.
"Then let's put them on now."
Wen Eryu put the little skirt she had changed into the bag given by the clerk.
The last two pieces of clothing were paid for by Shen Jize.
But just as Wen Eryu walked out of the clothing store, she saw a man walking towards her.
She pulled Shen Jize and turned around suddenly, then quickly buried her head in his arms.
"Shh, let's go."
Shen Ji Ze was confused. He glanced at the man and then looked down at the person in his arms.
He asked, "Are you avoiding him?"
Wen Eryu lowered his voice to the lowest level.
"He's my dad's assistant."
“…”
"If he finds out, it's over."
Unexpectedly, the next second, the man walked over and shouted, "Miss Wen."
