Lin Zeran left, and this hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress storyline came to an end.
Shi Xi turned around and glanced at the food on the table.
Goodness, they're all spicy dishes.
Looking around the table, everything was bright red, and the shrimp and scrambled eggs dish was the only non-spicy dish on the table.
It's clear that Lin Zeran put in a lot of effort to make things difficult for Xiao Wanjun.
They even found out what the food would taste like.
Xiao Wanjun has a light palate and doesn't like spicy or greasy food.
The shrimp and scrambled eggs dish was an arm's length away from Xiao Wanjun's seat, making it quite difficult to pick up the food.
Moreover, Lin Zeran offered the toast because he knew that Xiao Wanjun hated alcohol the most.
"A new private kitchen restaurant recently opened; the food looks pretty good. Shall we go try it?"
Shi Xi looked up, her tea-brown eyes meeting Xiao Wanjun's.
With all this food on the table, Xiao Wanjun definitely wasn't full.
He needs to be fed.
We can't let Xiao Wanjun go hungry, or we'll embarrass the devoted male supporting character too much.
Xiao Wanjun wore a white turtleneck sweater under a beige coat. She had sharp eyebrows, a straight nose, and eyes that seemed to hold stars. Her appearance was perfect and flawless.
Even in a soft beige coat, she still inadvertently exudes a strong and aloof aura.
Unlike the delicate, innocent protagonist waiting for redemption, Xiao Wanjun is a truly beautiful, strong, and tragic character.
Xiao Wanjun's childhood was not happy.
Xiao Wanjun's family was poor, living in a slum, and their home was dirt poor.
They were the kind of poor that even a thief would have to shake his head and leave.
My father was a complete gambler. To support the family, my mother worked as a cleaner during the day and set up a street stall in the commercial street at night. She only slept three or four hours a day, and her health was completely ruined by the exhaustion.
Every time his father lost money, he would drink heavily, and when he got drunk, he would curse and beat his mother.
Fortunately, Xiao Wanjun is not the type to passively accept her fate and swallow her anger.
When his father hit his mother, Xiao Wanjun stood in front of her to protect her.
At first, he was easily defeated and beaten by his father with a wooden stick until he was covered in bruises, with not a single patch of skin on his body intact. But later, as long as he stood in front of his mother, even if he had nothing in his hands, the man would not dare to lay a hand on him again.
It took Xiao Wanjun a full five years to make this transformation.
The price was twelve wooden sticks as thick as arms, which were on the verge of death countless times.
Throughout this time, he always kept his mother firmly behind him.
At an age when he should have been carefree and focused on his studies, he grew into a wolf cub just beginning to show his true colors.
Now, Xiao Wanjun is 23 years old.
Xiao Wanjun's success today is not only due to his protection and support, but also largely due to his own abilities.
Every investment he made in the works he starred in yielded huge profits.
"Okay, let's go try it."
Xiao Wanjun slowly loosened her hands that were hanging by her sides, her expression softening as she spoke softly.
"Do you want to come with us?" Shi Xi turned her head and asked He Luoluo politely.
He Luoluo was hungry and wanted to agree, but she received a faint glance from Xiao Wanjun, whose eyes were indifferent yet full of possessiveness.
He Luoluo felt a chill run down her spine and immediately changed her mind, shaking her head vigorously: "No, no, I'm on a diet recently, I don't eat dinner."
"Go back, you don't need to pick me up tonight."
After speaking, Xiao Wanjun walked up to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi was stunned. Xiao Wanjun had a faint scent of fir wood on him, a cool, woody fragrance that was deep and textured and not unpleasant.
but--
Why is the protagonist, Xiao Wanjun, taller than him?!
Jiang Feng is 1.8 meters tall, while Xiao Wanjun is about 5 centimeters taller, standing at 1.85 meters.
What surprised Shi Xi even more was that as Xiao Wanjun approached, the previously limp area suddenly revived and became even firmer.
"Let's go." Xiao Wanjun's pleasant voice interrupted Shi Xi's thoughts.
Shi Xi put her hands in her coat pockets and pulled them down a little before awkwardly saying, "The car's in the parking lot, we can just go there."
As he spoke, he quietly distanced himself from Xiao Wanjun.
There was no way around it; the distance was too close, and Xiao Wanjun could easily see through the deception.
Then he wouldn't be a devoted supporting male character anymore, but a perverted and lewd man.
He's the kind of lewd man who accidentally ends up in jail for sexual harassment.
Sensing Shi Xi's distance, Xiao Wanjun lowered her eyes slightly, the corners of her mouth turned down almost imperceptibly, and a low-pressure atmosphere permeated her body.
The two walked to the parking lot, and Shi Xi thought for a moment and decided to let Xiao Wanjun drive.
Although it was very ungentlemanly to do this, given his current situation, he couldn't care less about gentlemanly conduct.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shi Xi grabbed a cushion from the back seat and hugged it to her chest, only then did she feel a little better.
Xiao Wanjun fastened his seatbelt, glanced at Shi Xi, and saw that his expression was unusual and his brows were slightly furrowed. He leaned down slightly and raised his hand to cover Shi Xi's forehead.
A slightly cool touch came over her, and Shi Xi looked up at Xiao Wanjun in surprise.
"What are you doing?" Shi Xi was stunned for a few seconds, looking at Xiao Wanjun with a subtle expression.
No way, no way, could it be that Xiao Wanjun noticed something was wrong with him?
It's a real injustice.
He swore to God that he was not a perverted man who coveted Xiao Wanjun's beauty!
And, bro, please stop touching me!!
If you touch it again, something really bad will happen!!!
"Do you have a fever? Your temperature is a little high."
Xiao Wanjun said, estimating Shi Xi's temperature with her hand, her face full of worry.
There was none of the aura that had kept strangers at bay just moments before.
"I don't have a fever, it's just that the car's heater was on too high," Shi Xi coughed lightly, her fist pressed against her lips, explaining somewhat awkwardly.
"...So that's how it is." Xiao Wanjun lowered the temperature inside the car, asked for the exact location of the private restaurant, and started the car.
On the way, Shi Xi didn't dare to look at Xiao Wanjun again, because he discovered a fact.
The more he looked at Xiao Wanjun, the more suspicious he became.
Shi Xi was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to look, so she simply closed her eyes to rest and wait for it to calm down.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at a tastefully decorated restaurant.
Shi Xi was already asleep.
Xiao Wanjun looked at Shi Xi's face with a gloomy expression.
Why are you distancing yourself from me?
"Is it because I didn't accept your confession before? I'm sorry, it was my fault."
"Actually, I wasn't planning on agreeing to your request, but just now when you were looking at other people, I suddenly felt so angry, so angry that I wanted to kill that bitch Lin Zeran..."
"If, if one day you find out what kind of person I am, will you still like me?"
"You shouldn't like me."
"Me? I'm a wicked person, a sinner deserving of the deepest hell. You don't know, I..."
Xiao Wanjun's voice was very low and soft, as if she was afraid of waking Shi Xi.
The rest of the words were barely audible, disappearing completely into the air before they could be uttered.
999 listened from the sidelines and eventually came to a conclusion.
The plot is normal, no major problems.
After Xiao Wanjun finished speaking, she returned to normal, bent down to unbuckle Shi Xi's seatbelt, and was about to remove the headrest when Shi Xi suddenly opened her eyes.
He exclaimed, "Xiao Wanjun, stop!"
I tried to salvage the situation, but it was too late; he had already taken the cushion.
