The girl on the sofa curled up her body, her almond-shaped eyes slightly wet, as if she was trying hard to hold back tears. People with fair skin will have red faces when they cry, and her nose and cheeks were all red, which made me feel pity for her.
The distance between them was very close, so close that they could clearly feel each other's breath. Her hands were slightly cold, and they just covered his face, causing waves of itchiness.
What does it mean to hate her? Why does she think so?
Shen Yanli's throat tightened, and he didn't know how to react to this incoherent sentence. He was stunned for a while, frowned and asked back: "Why do you ask that?"
But she didn't answer, instead she asked: "Answer me first, do you hate me?"
After saying this, her long eyelashes trembled slightly like a cicada's wings, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but she held it back until a tear fell uncontrollably.
Shen Yanli's eyes darkened, and an indescribable pain surged from the bottom of his heart, secretly twisting it into a ball. This seemed to be the first time she cried in front of him. Why? He couldn't figure it out.
After a moment of silence, he slowly clenched his hands, which were casually placed on both sides of his body, into fists, then slowly relaxed them, and then slowly raised them. While carefully wiping away her tears, he hurriedly said, "I don't hate you. How could I hate you?"
He tried to soften his tone, but his words were like a fuse that ignited her tears. The bean-sized tears fell on the back of his hand one by one, burning his skin.
...
...
Before he could come to his senses, she suddenly reached out and hugged him, hugged his neck and sobbed softly: "Brother, you have been avoiding me these days. I thought I did something wrong to make you angry, and you hated me."
"Wow, is it because I did something wrong after drinking that day? Sure enough, I must have done something wrong that day."
She was in tears and choked with sobs as she recounted the grievances she had suffered in the past few days word by word.
Feeling the wetness coming from his neck, Shen Yanli realized that it was because of his abnormal behavior these days that caused the misunderstanding. He was not avoiding her because he hated her, but...
Listening to the girl's sobbing, his brows knitted deeper. He wanted to explain, but the real reason was too difficult to say. After hesitating for a while, he could only lie: "I'm not avoiding you, it's just... I'm too busy with work."
When Zhou Yunwan heard this lame excuse, she knew it was just a way for him to fool her. The corners of her mouth twitched. There is a very good saying that boys who wait for girls to take the initiative are the dumbest pigs in the pigpen.
Shen Yanli was obviously so smart, how come he couldn't see that she was interested in him? Even pushed her further away.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunwan paused to wipe her tears, but she didn't intend to let him go easily. She wanted to give him another strong dose of medicine, and said sadly: "I don't believe it. You were also very busy with work before, but it was not as excessive as these few days. You are just avoiding me. If I did something wrong, just tell me directly. Don't avoid me, okay?"
"Brother, you are the person I love most in this world. If even you hate me, then I really don't know what to do." These words were so disgusting that Zhou Yunwan herself felt a chill down her spine.
She put on a full show and held him tighter, as if she was afraid he would leave her.
And Shen Yanli, who had never faced such a situation, was at a loss at the moment, especially when he heard her say that the person she loved most was him, his heart almost went numb.
But the more he wanted to explain and comfort her, the more he couldn't speak. It was as if someone had grabbed his throat and he couldn't speak for a long time. He avoided her because...
He couldn't say that he dreamed of doing that with her every night, right? After saying that, he became the one being hated.
It's really annoying.
Shen Yanli frowned, unable to think of a suitable reason, and could only comfort stiffly: "Don't cry, okay? I don't hate you, and I won't hide from you anymore."
Seeing that he still refused to tell the real reason, Zhou Yunwan's cheeks puffed up with anger. She wished she could open her mouth and bite a few holes in his neck to vent her anger, but she never expected that she sneezed as she opened her mouth.
"Ah Qiu." Before the first cry ended, several more followed.
Taking advantage of this gap, Shen Yanli pushed her away a little, first wiped her tears with his hands, and then offered to help her wipe her hair: “Your hair must not be dry, I will help you wipe it.”
"..." Zhou Yunwan sniffed. With such an attentive attitude, it was obvious that this was an excuse for him to change the subject. He was really good at talking. After spending so much time around him, he didn't get anything to say. What a pity.
But she didn't plan to expose him. After all, it was really cold without dry hair. Since he didn't tell the truth, she had to take advantage of his guilt and think of a way to order him around.
The whole room was pitch black, with only the light from the flashlight shining on the wall and reflecting around to form a faint light.
Shen Yanli stood up and walked around the sofa, picked up a towel and wiped her hair carefully. He felt a little uneasy, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she slowly stopped crying.
Getting along with girls is really a hassle, and he is not good at coaxing people. Once she cries, he is at a loss.
"Wanwan, how about I take you out for dinner tomorrow to make amends?"
"Brother, shall we go out and play tomorrow?"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time.
Zhou Yunwan thought that it was finally just the two of them left at home, so they definitely couldn't waste time at home. They should go out to eat, go shopping, and watch a movie like a young couple, or have a serious date. She didn't believe that he would be calm inside.
But she didn't expect that he also happened to be thinking of asking her out. She was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised up. As expected, no man could tolerate a woman crying and acting like a spoiled child, and Shen Yanli was no exception.
Just pretend to cry a little and use some tricks and he will easily take the bait.
She quickly adjusted her expression, cleared her throat, and turned to look at him: "Since you want to apologize, then follow my arrangements tomorrow."
Shen Yanli lowered his head and saw the girl curled up on the sofa, hugging her legs, with one hand supporting her chin on her knees, staring at him with her head tilted, the area around her eyes was red, making it impossible for him to refuse.
He didn't look her in the eye, afraid that she would see something, and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Upon hearing these words, she finally smiled, changing her gloomy mood. A flower-like smile appeared on her palm-sized face, but he did not notice the cunning that flashed across her eyes.
