Chapter 18 Do you regret marrying me?
The woman in front of him was still wearing the same white shirt she had worn when she got the marriage certificate that day, and her hair, which had been tied up in a bun, had fallen loosely behind her head at some point.
A few naughty strands of hair stuck to his face and refused to leave.
The man's eyes slowly moved downwards, and he raised his hand to gently brush away the hair beside his cheek.
The moment he suddenly approached, Xu Jialan couldn't help but hold his breath.
After pulling back the hair, Shen Xichuan's fingertips were reluctant to leave.
Soft strands of hair passed through fingertips.
A few seconds later, the man suddenly lowered his head, and his thin lips gently placed a warm kiss on Xu Jialan's forehead, and then left immediately.
Xu Jialan's breathing was slightly stifled.
She clearly felt the warm breath on her face.
That was the aura belonging to Shen Xichuan.
Xu Jialan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
He... kissed her?
Shen Xichuan paused and looked down at her.
I just happened to see her lost in thought, and the tips of her ears had turned red without her noticing.
He couldn't help but laugh softly.
How can it be so cute?
When Xu Jialan heard his laughter, he didn't dare to move.
A subtle hint of grievance flashed across his eyes.
Shen Xichuan's fingertips fell and gently stroked the hair beside her ear, "Have you eaten at noon?"
"……without."
Hearing this, Shen Xichuan paused, his eyes fell on her face, and looked at her, “You at noon…”
He was about to ask her why she didn't eat anything at noon?
But then she thought, it was because he suddenly left her alone at noon.
The man felt a slight pang of pain in his heart.
"Would you like some wontons?"
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "What?"
Shen Xichuan stood up straight and stretched out his hand, “I’ll take you to eat wontons, do you want to go?”
Hearing this, Xu Jialan subconsciously sat up and extended his hand, "Go."
I'm worried that if I'm a second late, he will regret it.
Shen Xichuan hooked his lower lip, tightened his grip, and pulled her up.
"Then pack up and let's go out."
…
Xu Jialan simply packed up and went out with Shen Xichuan.
Shen Xichuan didn’t take Xu Jialan far away.
Instead, he drove to the wonton shop closest to Nanhu Lake.
There aren't a lot of people, but there are quite a few too.
As soon as the two sat down, a waiter came over.
"What would you two like to eat?"
Shen Xichuan turned his eyes to look at Xu Jialan beside him, "What do you want to eat?"
Xu Jialan looked at the menu and said, "I want a small wonton."
This is the sign here.
The waiter nodded, "How about you, sir?"
“I’m the same as her.” Shen Xichuan said.
After we took our order, the waiter left.
After a while, two bowls of hot wontons were served.
Shen Xichuan handed Xu Jialan a spoon and said, “Try it and see if it tastes good?”
Xu Jialan nodded, took it, and ate the wontons in small bites.
The taste was a pleasant surprise.
The skin is thin and the meat is rich and delicious. One bite is not enough.
Seeing her eyes light up, Shen Xichuan chuckled, “This is a restaurant I accidentally discovered one time. After eating there for the first time, I often come here to eat. If you like it, we can come often in the future.”
Xu Jialan nodded quickly, "Okay."
Shen Xichuan smiled again and lowered his head to eat wontons.
Not only Xu Jialan didn't eat, he didn't eat either.
Once the rescue operation begins, the only thing on your mind is how to save people.
Naturally, I wouldn't think about whether I had eaten or not.
After eating several wontons, Xu Jialan felt his stomach felt much better.
She blew gently on the wontons on the spoon, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the man sitting opposite her.
The man had changed his clothes, so he must have taken a shower in the team before coming back.
When he got closer just now, he could smell the faint fragrance of shower gel.
Xu Jialan hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "Today you..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Xichuan knew what she wanted to ask.
He spoke first, "It's okay, everyone is safe."
This is the best news.
Everyone is safe.
Hearing this, Xu Jialan breathed a visibly relieved sigh, "That's good."
Shen Xichuan seemed to remember something, paused, put down the spoon, and looked at her seriously.
"Xu Jialan."
Xu Jialan looked at him doubtfully, "Huh?"
Shen Xichuan's Adam's apple rolled, "When we were on a blind date, there was one thing I didn't tell you."
"What?"
The man looked at her, his voice a little hoarse, "That's what happens today. There may be more in the future."
Xu Jialan didn't say anything.
"My phone is always on, 24 hours a day. If I get a call from the team, I leave immediately."
"No matter what time it is, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I must return to the team immediately."
"So, in the future, I may not be able to always be with you."
At this point, Shen Xichuan's voice became more and more hoarse.
Xu Jialan put down the spoon and looked at him.
“Shen Xichuan, what exactly do you want to say?”
The man's voice was hoarse. "Do you regret it? Regret marrying me like today."
Xu Jialan's eyebrows moved slightly.
After a few seconds, she slowly spoke, “Shen Xichuan, you probably don’t understand me, nor do you understand the nature of my job.”
Shen Xichuan’s eyes fell on her.
Xu Jialan said calmly, "You said last time that I would work hard and persevere for my goals, no matter the cost. So why do you think that I would regret marrying you just because you can't be with me or leave suddenly?"
He looked at the person in front of him, and his jaw slowly tightened.
Xu Jialan continued, "The work of a laboratory is not just about staying in the laboratory to test items. In many cases, in order to help the police solve cases, we also have to go to the scene of the crime to collect environmental evidence."
"Besides, if we receive a call from a police station, we have to drop everything and rush to the scene immediately."
"You said you couldn't always be with me, but what about me?"
Xu Jialan chuckled, "But, did you forget to mention another thing?"
The man was stunned for half a second.
"Besides not being able to accompany me, sometimes during the rescue process you might encounter danger and get injured, right?" she said.
Shen Xichuan's eyes were complicated, and he hummed softly, "Yes."
Xu Jialan raised her red lips slightly, her voice clear, "My job is to help the police solve cases to a certain extent. For some criminals, we are also a thorn in their side, and danger is everywhere."
At this point, she paused, "You said you can't always be with me, and I can't always be with you. Besides, when it comes to danger, no one is more dangerous than the other."
