Chapter 10 I suddenly don’t want to talk
If it were the Jing Qian of the past, he would probably be frightened and scream at this sudden look, but the Jing Qian of today has changed his heart.
She showed Zhan Lichuan a very friendly smile: "Are you awake? You haven't had dinner yet? Are you hungry?"
Hearing the noise inside the door, the two bodyguards on duty in the living room outside rushed in immediately.
When they saw Jing Qian, their expressions were filled with obvious surprise.
"Master, I'm sorry. We didn't expect the young lady to come in directly."
Although they knew that Jing Qian's room was connected to Zhan Lichuan's, the young lady had never set foot in the young master's territory alone in the past three weeks. Therefore, the two bodyguards relaxed their vigilance on the terrace and stayed in the living room outside to prevent Jiang Yuxi from coming in and disturbing the young master's rest under various pretexts.
But I never thought that the uninvited guest today would be the young lady.
Zhan Lichuan stared at Jing Qian, knowing that this woman must have received some favor from his grandfather and was simply using him as a task to make her presence felt. He had initially disdained to respond, but when he met her smiling eyes, he realized that the emotions in them were completely different from the resistance, disgust, and avoidance he had felt the previous time.
This time, her eyes were full of kindness, and her peach blossom eyes, full of charm, were full of clarity when she looked at him. She no longer had the vulgarity of the past, but she brought out the charm in her bones to the extreme.
It is clearly the same person, showing the same smile, but the low and high levels of coquettishness are portrayed vividly and clearly.
As expected of an actor, he's quite capable of doing as much as he can for as much money as he's paid.
Looking at her smile that was as lively as spring, Zhan Lichuan had the urge to tear this illusion apart with his own hands.
There was no light in his future life, so he didn't need such a bright smile, let alone such a bright fake smile.
Facing Jing Qian's question, Zhan Lichuan slowly said: "I'm not hungry."
A calm voice echoed in the large bedroom.
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue and laziness, yet it contained weight, as if it were the Nile River flowing through ancient times, ethereal yet entangled with sedimentation. It was clearly close at hand, yet gave people a vague and unreal feeling as if it was far away in the horizon.
The two bodyguards' eyes widened when they heard Zhan Lichuan's words.
This was the first sentence the young master had spoken in a few days. How could this not make them happy?
However, the following words instantly brought the lively atmosphere to a freezing point.
Zhan Lichuan said slowly, "Don't you know that a paraplegic won't feel hungry?"
Zhan Lichuan's gaze was like a sharp blade, which not only hurt others but also hurt himself.
His eyes were like a magic mirror, which could instantly make Jing Qian's perfect expression crack and shatter.
However, after hearing Zhan Lichuan's words, Jing Qian didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The smile on his lips didn't fade at all because of these words.
Her charming eyes shone with light, and her voice was soft, yet it carried a touch of bewitching calmness:
"Who says people with high spinal cord injury can't feel hungry? You only injured your spinal cord, which only affects your somatic nerves, that is, the nerves that control your skeletal muscles. But your sympathetic nerves are normal, and the sympathetic nerves control your gastrointestinal motility. So even if you are a high spinal cord injury, you will still feel hungry.
If you don't eat when you're hungry, your metabolism will consume your muscle mass and convert it into basic energy. This will cause your muscles and bones to atrophy rapidly throughout your body. That's why eating is so important."
Zhan Lichuan:......
The imagined cracked and broken expression did not appear. The woman still had the same bright and shocking smile from before. It was very glaring.
Zhan Lichuan closed his eyes again and suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
