Chapter 50 Ups and Downs
◎Ups and downs◎
Just as Luo Wusheng gradually understood Shi Hanqiao, she was also able to keenly perceive his emotions.
It was obvious that after the pheromone matching results came out, he was in a very bad state, as if he had been stimulated by something, although he pretended to be the same as usual.
The last time I let him lean on my shoulder, that position was really not very comfortable. The Demon Lord, who attaches great importance to his own comfort, chose to hug him as a comfort this time.
However, Shi Hanqiao still suffered from her inexperience when she initiated a face-to-face hug for the first time. Normal people would hug while standing when making friends, but she and Luo Wusheng were sitting side by side on the sofa. The prerequisite for hugging was that they had to twist their bodies sideways, which meant that they were hugging above the waist, but were blocked below the waist, which made the scene look weird for a while.
Shi Hanqiao noticed this. This hugging posture twisted her waist and was very uncomfortable. She put down her hands and decided not to embarrass herself. She would rather wait and let him lean on her shoulder.
However, when her hand rested on his shoulder, Luo Wusheng put his arms around her waist, closing the distance between them.
All the contradictions and entanglements disappeared when she took the initiative to hug him, leaving only excitement and joy.
This hugging posture was indeed not very comfortable, but he did not want to be separated from her. Her hug, accompanied by the faint scent of lily of the valley, relaxed his irritated nerves.
"Just let me hold you."
You don't need to do anything, just let me feel your presence.
Shi Hanqiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was answering her previous question.
Although she had some knowledge, she was not very interested in interstellar gender, pheromones, and the special structure of the human body.
In her eyes, pheromone matching was a bit like human blind dates: two strangers seemed compatible based on family background or other external traits. She had no intention of taking the test, but after noticing Luo Wusheng's emotions over Teacher Luo's words, she was about to pull him away, but he decided to go along with their plan because of the news about his grandfather.
Shi Hanqiao didn't quite understand why he was unwilling to take the test, but since he had asked, as a friend, she couldn't resist, so she went along with his wishes. Pheromone matching was like a test of physical fitness and mental strength for her, and she didn't take it seriously at all. Luo Wusheng wanted her to do it, so she would do it.
However, after the pheromone matching, the young man's mood was even more depressed than the grandfather's backstab, and she was even more confused about the source of his negative emotions. Could it be that she didn't control it well, and the 0% attitude made her seem too cold and unfriendly?
Well, it's possible.
Sensing the young man's depressed mood, Shi Hanqiao felt even more troubled. It wasn't that she was annoyed, but she really had never dealt with such a situation before. Before, the kind elder had always indulged her, and then everything would naturally get better. She had never comforted Luo Wei.
She wasn't one to be patient with others. "What do you want me to do?" was already a promise of unlimited help. Then she took the initiative to comfort him with a hug. Shi Hanqiao's patience had almost run out.
But when he came over in a low and cautious tone and said, "Just hold me," her heart felt like it was scratched by a feather, and her exhausted patience seemed to be recharged in an instant.
"stand up."
The cold voice was like a blunt knife cutting into the young man's heart.
Luo Wusheng slowly loosened his arms around her, took a deep breath to adjust his expression, forced out a natural smile, and took the initiative to distance himself from her.
"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It's so ugly."
Shi Shuang Han Biao Qiao had no self-awareness at all that she always had a shallow smile on her face. She pushed the young man and forced him to stand up, then she occupied the spacious single sofa and adjusted herself to a comfortable sitting position.
The young man's heart skipped a beat, and before he could adjust his emotions, he was pulled down by a force and fell sideways on the legs of Woman A. The tense thread in his mind suddenly broke, and he looked at Shi Hanqiao who was pulling him left and right with wide pupils in confusion and shock.
"Like this? Or are you going to face me?"
Shi Hanqiao tried her best to meet the young man's request, but the posture just now was really uncomfortable. It would be okay if she adjusted it now. She discovered last time that the feeling between the young man and the pillow was different, but they both felt good.
"That's all."
Realizing that Woman A was actually carrying out his request in a straightforward and frank manner, Luo Wusheng's mood today was like a roller coaster, going from frustration to suppressed expectation.
He sat sideways, put his arm around her, and buried his head in her neck, trying to calm his uncontrolled and unbalanced heartbeat, and not wanting her to see his face, which was clearly feeling the heat rising.
Sitting sideways on her thighs was already unexpectedly intimate. If they were face to face, his heart would explode and his face would burn just by imagining it.
As he took a deep breath, the light scent of lily of the valley was refreshing and soothing. Luo Wusheng could definitely feel Shi Hanqiao's presence. At such a close distance, he could even feel the strong aura hidden beneath her appearance. The arm she put on his waist was neither muscular nor thin, and the sense of strength and shape were perfectly integrated. Her hand was clenched into a fist and hung loosely on his waist, and her other hand was casually placed on the armrest of the sofa.
For a moment, he thought he'd finally understood. This was how Woman A usually held her pillow. Even with that thought in his mind, he didn't feel lost, because he could clearly sense the closeness between them. He took nine steps toward her, and she finally took a large step toward him.
Suddenly, all thoughts of giving up were truly abandoned, and the words that had been cleared from my mind resurfaced. At the same time, precisely because of the pain of deleting them, this time my decision was even more resolute, like an engraving that could not be erased even if I wanted to.
One difference from before is that Shi Hanqiao's unconscious approach gave him confidence, and he was more patient. No matter whether it was a frog in warm water or a big fish under a long line, the future would definitely be his.
Luo Wusheng unconsciously tightened his arms around the shoulders of girl A.
Noticing that the young man was no longer depressed, Shi Hanqiao relaxed a little. She breathed in the light and strange fragrance of Versilia. Although the posture of sitting side by side and hugging was intimate, in her eyes he was actually no more than a pillow, and she really didn't have any other thoughts about him.
She patted the young man twice to comfort him and asked, "Why are you so emotionally unstable?"
There are many ways to comfort people. Actions are important, and understanding the reasons is also important. These are all things Luo Wei has said and done. Shi Hanqiao really didn't expect that there would be a day when she would comfort people. The light of the Virgin Mary was not shed in vain on her.
Luo Wusheng wasn't surprised by her insight. He had discovered during military training that her insight into things and the environment was superior to his, and her ability to see into people's hearts was also strong, but this was limited to combat situations. In her daily life, she was just as casual as she appeared.
But the fact that she could sense his true emotions made him both embarrassed and happy. In real life, Han Qiao lacked sensitivity towards people or things that he didn't care about. In other words, the fact that she could sense his mood meant that she already cared about him unconsciously.
Despite his delightful guess, Luo Wusheng still didn't dare to act rashly when it came to Woman A, fearing that any mistake would affect their progress. He was willing to spend time and energy to slowly let her get used to him and understand him.
But when he really wanted to talk about the shadow of ten years ago, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Luo Wusheng was scheming to narrow the distance between the two of them, hoping that one day Han Qiao's eyes would reveal the same love that he was hiding.
Her initiative had made him think of gaining her sympathy, but he unconsciously rejected the idea. He seemed to be always calculating and scheming, even when it came to his own feelings. He really didn't want to use what happened ten years ago to gain Woman A's sympathy. This matter had been weighing on his heart for too long, so long that the wound had festered and festered, and time had simply covered it with a scar, making it seem as if the matter was over.
However, the scar has never truly healed, and the rotten flesh beneath it is still eating away at his nerves, causing it to hurt whenever it is touched.
He knew that this wouldn't work. He needed to uncover the scar and dig out the rotten flesh in order to truly heal the wound. This was a common medical principle, but he had no one to talk to.
Josephine and the others were friends, but they were also teammates. Luo Wusheng was their commander, and command meant spiritual support, so he couldn't show his most vulnerable side to them.
Now the Luo family is clearly on Tan An's side. He has lost even his last relative. When he thinks about it carefully, he has had so many people coming and going around him in the past ten years, but there is really no one he can complain to.
There is no escape route and no one behind him.
His slightly drooped eyes became bright and brilliant like blooming fireworks the moment the soothing mental power came from the back of his neck. Woman A's fingertips were gentle and powerful, and the mental power accompanied by the fragrance of lily of the valley soothed his stiff body like a gurgling stream.
Shi Hanqiao waited patiently for him to speak. She didn't know why his mood had become so low again, but she didn't want to see his dull eyes. Without thinking, she stroked the back of his neck and channeled her mental power.
"Well, I'm tired."
Shi Hanqiao still remembered the night in the Star Realm when he was "talkative". Some things have been kept in the heart for a long time but are difficult to say out loud. It requires the right person, environment and opportunity.
It was rare for her to be so considerate, not because she wanted to peek at Luo Wusheng's scar, but because she hoped he could dig out the flesh that had long been rotten.
"I'm sleepy and want a bedtime story. Usually, I can't remember what I heard when I wake up."
Shi Hanqiao covered her lips and yawned, then rested her head on the young man's left shoulder facing her.
She closed her eyes, her voice drowsy, "Remember to put me on the bed later."
The force that fell on his left shoulder seemed to flow along the bones into his left chest cavity. For some reason, the young man's eyes felt a little sour, and his heart felt a mixture of bittersweet.
The word "gentle" has nothing to do with Shi Hanqiao, but Luo Wusheng is always moved by her gentleness.
He consciously indulged in the tenderness she gave him alone.
