Chapter Fourteen
Shi Qing looked up and met Liang Yuheng's deep brown eyes. He had a faint smile in his eyes, and his usual unapproachable aura was gone.
"What, you think my hands are too dark?" Liang Yuheng's lips curled up slightly when he saw that Shi Qing didn't speak.
Seeing that he wasn't joking, Shi Qing quickly smiled and said, "How could that be? Let's go together then."
"Hmm, pick one."
Shi Qing drew a middle one: "Then help me pull the top open."
Liang Yuheng placed the box beside him and tore it open along the dotted line.
"Guess what color it will be?" Shi Qing happily took out the plastic bag from inside, and started to feel less reserved.
Liang Yuheng: "What's your favorite color?"
Shi Qing: "I like them all, it would be even better if I could get the hidden version."
"A hidden model?"
Seeing that he clearly didn't know much about blind boxes, Shi Qing pointed to the brown one on the box: "This is it."
Liang Yuheng didn't expect Shi Qing to like the ugliest one, but he didn't show it: "That should be brown."
Shi Qing couldn't help but laugh: "How could I be so lucky? I'm really unlucky."
Liang Yuheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Maybe I'm just lucky."
Shi Qing nodded: "That makes sense, let's tear it down then."
"Um."
Liang Yuheng pinched the other end with his right hand, their fingertips touching.
Shi Qing's gaze fell on those beautiful hands. Liang Yuheng's fingers were long and slender, with well-proportioned knuckles, and his nails were neatly trimmed.
The two of them pulled at the same time, and the bag was opened, revealing a brown cloth bag inside.
Shi Qing was completely stunned, blinking incredulously: "It's a hidden gem!"
Liang Yuheng looked at her with a faint smile: "It means you're lucky."
Shi Qing's eyes sparkled as she looked at the cloth from left to right, clearly delighted: "Looks like I really did get lucky from you."
Liang Yuheng rarely saw Shi Qing genuinely happy, and he couldn't help but stare at the dimples on her face, lost in thought.
It turns out she's so easily satisfied.
"Do you think it's pretty?" Shi Qing showed the doll to him.
Liang Yuheng gave a stiff smile: "It looks good."
Shi Qing was surprised that Liang Yuheng also liked it, and it was rare to find someone with the same hobby as him: "Then how about I give this to you? This color is suitable for boys."
Liang Yuheng: "Don't you like it? I'll go for the next one."
"That works too." Shi Qing nodded.
The two of them worked together to dismantle another one, and the second one turned out to be pink.
Shi Qing: "This color is too pink, how about..."
Liang Yuheng took it out from inside: "It's okay, I like it."
Shi Qing was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Liang Yuheng fiddled with the little thing in his hand, looking genuinely interested.
Shi Qing shook her head: "I didn't expect you to like pink."
Liang Yuheng smirked: "Because you don't understand me at all."
"..."
For some reason, there was a hint of resentment in those words.
Shi Qing quickly realized that she must be overthinking things.
Liang Yuheng: "Let's continue."
"good."
After the two opened one box, Liang Yuheng asked, "Shall we open another one?"
"Let's stop here for today, we'll unpack them tomorrow." Shi Qing looked happily at the five Labubu bags on the coffee table, absolutely smitten, and hesitated before hanging the hidden one on her bag.
Liang Yuheng nodded: "Yes, it's getting late."
"Thank you."
Shi Qing suddenly looked at Liang Yuheng, her eyes clear and bright, with a smile that reached deep into her eyes.
Liang Yuheng paused, "Why are you suddenly saying thank you?"
Shi Qing pursed her lips: "I originally thought today was pretty bad, but now I think I had pretty good luck today."
Liang Yuheng smiled and asked, "Is it because of these blind boxes?"
Shi Qing: "Not entirely."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Liang Yuheng didn't continue to ask: "By the way, my mom said she wants both sets of parents to meet, what do you think?"
After listening, Shi Qing felt that Xia Mingqiu's suggestion was normal. How could the parents of both sides not meet after their child has gotten married?
If we don't let them see each other, won't Xia Mingqiu become suspicious?
Shi Qing thought for a moment and said, "I have some things to take care of at home these few days. How about I take you there first in a while, and then let Auntie meet them later?"
Liang Yuheng looked at her calmly: "What happened at your home?"
Shi Qing: "It's nothing serious."
Liang Yuheng had been expecting Shi Qing to say something to him, but to his surprise, it was the same thing she said.
"Shi Qing".
Liang Yuheng rarely called her by her name directly. Shi Qing subconsciously looked up and saw that his expression had darkened slightly.
Shi Qing: "What's wrong?"
Liang Yuheng: "Are you going to keep treating me like a stranger?"
Seeing that he seemed a little angry, Shi Qing guessed that Zhou Han might have told him about Shi Qing.
"No, I don't know how to say it. I just don't want to affect your mood," Shi Qing said softly, looking at him.
Liang Yuheng stared directly into her eyes: "You've already had an impact."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qing's heart trembled slightly.
Liang Yuheng continued, "I want to know."
Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief and told him everything that had happened at home recently.
After listening, Liang Yuheng's gaze shifted to her bruised wrist, his brow furrowing: "Your dad must be quite concerned about his reputation, so I don't think he'll keep arguing with your mom. I'll go back with you this week."
Shi Qing didn't speak for a moment; her throat felt a little sore.
She has received many favors from Liang Yuheng, as if Liang Yuheng has been the one making the sacrifices all this time, while she has done nothing.
Shi Qing clasped her fingers together in her palm: "I don't want to always bother you."
Seeing that she had retreated back into her shell, Liang Yuheng regretted his harsh words. He softened his tone and said, "It's not a big deal. You'll have to go sooner or later anyway. Don't worry, leave it to me."
Hearing Liang Yuheng's words, Shi Qing had a strange feeling, as if they were a real couple, which made her feel very safe.
Liang Yuheng raised his hand and gently stroked her head, smiling warmly: "It's getting late, go to sleep."
The contact was brief, and Shi Qing's body stiffened for a moment.
She subconsciously thought that it was good that she had washed her hair last night.
Shi Qing didn't seem surprised, and smiled slightly: "Okay."
Liang Yuheng leaned forward slightly and offered his hand.
Shi Qing placed her hand in his palm and used it to stand up.
This time, she approached him naturally, and felt that their relationship was closer than before.
Shi Qing: "Can I leave these with you for now? I'll take them home another day."
Liang Yuheng: "You can put it wherever you want. Don't you keep them all on your bedside table? You can put them there if you want."
Shi Qing had initially thought that it was Liang Yuheng's room after all, and it wouldn't be good to put too many of her personal belongings there, but she felt relieved after hearing him say that: "Okay."
“I’ll take it over later,” Liang Yuheng said. “Go wash up.”
"good."
Upon entering the master bedroom, Shi Qing saw the spacious and tidy room and once again felt that it had been far too shabby for her to have Liang Yuheng stay in her rented apartment last time.
When Shi Qing arrived at the dressing room, she saw various styles of women's clothing hanging inside. The colors and aesthetics all matched her own, so she guessed that Zhou Han had chosen them.
On the other side, the wardrobe was filled with well-tailored men's suits and shirts, clearly belonging to Liang Yuheng.
He doesn't seem to care much about his clothes; every time I see him, he's wearing a different colored shirt.
Shi Qing was momentarily curious about what Liang Yuheng would look like in casual clothes, but with his physique, he would undoubtedly be good-looking.
Why think about these things?
Shi Qing snapped out of her daze and hurriedly searched for her pajamas among the many clothes.
But when she saw more than a dozen silk slip dresses, she froze.
Zhou Han did this on purpose, didn't she?
Shi Qing sometimes wears sundresses, which are cool and convenient to wear in the summer.
But since she was going to be staying with Liang Yuheng today, she still felt a little strange dressed like this.
But if she didn't wear it, she had no other clothes to wear. After a few minutes of internal struggle, Shi Qing chose a light pink one from among them.
She thought to herself, "This one looks pretty thin, but it should be better than those black ones."
After quickly rinsing herself, Shi Qing glanced at the two kinds of shower gel next to her, one of which was a women's bottle.
Because her right hand was inconvenient, she struggled to open it for a long time. Since she didn't have scissors, Shi Qing finally had to give up.
In the end, she used the bottle from the man next to her. As soon as the white foam was applied to her body, Shi Qing quickly felt that the smell was very familiar.
Because it smells like Liang Yuheng.
It wasn't perfume after all.
Even though she had only used the same shower gel, Shi Qing felt surrounded by a familiar scent, as if Liang Yuheng were right beside her.
Shi Qing suddenly felt her throat was a little dry, thinking it was because the bath water was too hot, so she turned the water temperature down a bit.
After showering and drying herself, Shi Qing picked up the light pink sundress. It was a very light garment, but in her hands, it felt incredibly heavy.
She often wears fitted clothes in the store, but almost all of them are women's, and everyone wears them, so it's become a habit.
After changing, Shi Qing looked at herself in the mirror.
Actually, she is confident in her figure; although she is thin, she can still wear the dress to the best effect.
Oh well, I'll just wear it out confidently. I'm not ugly anyway, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
When Shi Qing came out of the bathroom, Liang Yuheng was leaning against the bed reading a book.
He was slightly taken aback when he saw Shi Qing.
Because she had just showered, the girl's skin was slightly red, almost the same color as her dress. Shi Qing's arms were beautifully sculpted; years of exercise had left no trace of excess fat.
Liang Yuheng quickly looked away.
Shi Qing tried her best to act as usual: "I'm going outside to get some water, do you want some?"
Liang Yuheng closed the book, got up, and got out of bed: "Your hand is not convenient, I'll go."
Shi Qing: "That works too."
Shi Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief after Liang Yuheng left.
It wasn't as awkward as I had imagined.
She went to the other side of the bed, raised her hand and pulled down the hair tie, letting her soft, cascading long hair fall down. Shi Qing raised her hand and pressed her scalp.
Liang Yuheng brought two glasses of warm water, handing one to Shi Qing.
Shi Qing took the drink and drank it all in one gulp. When she turned her head, she found Liang Yuheng staring at her.
That look in his eyes was a little strange; it was so direct, yet there was also a hint of doubt.
Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be...?
"I didn't mean to seduce you."
