Chapter 71 Very Sweet and Well-behaved
"This... it's better not to watch it."
Shi Nianzhi took another step back.
Lu Jiunian put a cigarette in his mouth, grabbed Shi Nianzhi's shoulder, and pulled her to his side.
Sometimes that's how it is; even if there's nothing wrong, the more you're told not to see it, the more you want to see it.
Especially possessive men like Lu Jiunian.
He hated that Shi Nianzhi kept it from him.
So he grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist and asked, "Are you going to take it out yourself, or do I have to?"
"......"
It's just a pile of chicken droppings, why make such a fuss?
Shi Nianzhi pursed her lips, "Okay, I'll take it out myself."
"Um."
The man's cold expression softened somewhat.
"But you chose to see this yourself, so you're not allowed to scold me."
"Don't try to negotiate with me! Give it to me!"
"oh......"
Shi Nianzhi stretched out his hand, then opened his clenched fist, revealing a sticky, brownish substance mixed with green chicken droppings stuck to his hand.
Lu Jiunian's face immediately darkened. "What is this?!"
Shi Nianzhi frowned. "Anyway, it's not a good thing."
"Go wash it off right now, you're always all dirty. Don't go catching weird things in the garden next time! I heard from Aunt Zhang that you've caught frogs before. If you catch those again, I'll tie your hands up."
"I didn't catch frogs, that's called a toad."
Shi Nianzhi wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Lu Jiunian's expression became even more unpleasant after he said those words.
As Shi Nianzhi pulled his hand away, he added, "This is chicken poop on my hand. I got it on by accident. I didn't do it on purpose. Of course, I'm a clean man."
"Go wash your hands ten times!"
"It's not dirty."
The man's tone was cold and uncompromising, "Wash it twenty times!"
Shi Nianzhi puffed out her cheeks. "It'll be clean in one wash. What's the big deal? If not, I'll wash it twice, okay?"
Thirty times!
"I'm not washing it."
Shi Nianzhi got angry. He reached out and shook Lu Jiunian's hand in a friendly gesture. "Let you be high and mighty. We'll wash together. You wash thirty times and then I'll wash."
Lu Jiunian froze, his eyes glaring at Shi Nianzhi like ice. "Do you believe I'll strangle you?!"
"Strangling someone is illegal."
Even so, Shi Nianzhi was still startled by Lu Jiunian's appearance. He let go of her hand, turned around, and ran away.
As he ran, he thought to himself, "He was the one who was arrogant just now."
How dare he smear chicken droppings on Lu Jiunian's hands?
Shi Nianzhi stood in front of the sink, his head down, carefully rubbing his hands with the hand sanitizer.
Lu Jiunian walked in, and Shi Nianzhi quickly rinsed his hands with water. He washed his hands and dried them with paper towels before making room for Lu Jiunian.
"What are you still standing there for? Come here and wash my hands!"
"Oh, okay."
Shi Nianzhi obediently helped Lu Jiunian wash his hands.
I'm still shaken.
After washing him twice, Lu Jiunian said coldly, "Go change your clothes, I'll take you out."
"oh."
Shi Nian went upstairs and entered the dressing room.
Lu Jiunian would stuff the latest seasonal clothes into his wardrobe, arranging them neatly. Shi Nianzhi was a little overwhelmed by the choices and didn't know what to wear.
Then he thought that this was the first time Lu Jiunian had taken him out. Maybe it was to meet friends or elders? In any case, it wouldn't be to take him shopping. That wasn't the man's style.
Shi Nianzhi thought that there was nothing wrong with dressing more formally.
Lu Jiunian always loves wearing white shirts, so let him wear a black shirt. The black and white combination looks like a couple's outfit, and the weather isn't too cold today, so he can wear it out.
After changing his clothes, Shi Nianzhi took a satisfied look at himself and went downstairs.
When he walked into the living room, Lu Jiunian looked up at him. The man who had been on the phone suddenly fell silent and just stared at him.
That look in her eyes is hard to describe; it just felt too affectionate.
Shi Nianzhi tilted her head slightly, then reached out and somewhat awkwardly tugged at her sleeve. "Is it... not good-looking?"
This was originally a very humble statement; his intention was to get Lu Jiunian to praise him.
He knew that this outfit suited him perfectly; it was as if it had been tailor-made for him, and the moment he put it on, he exuded an air of nobility.
Shi Nianzhi thought he was very handsome, and then he became somewhat smug.
Lu Jiunian's face suddenly turned cold, and his voice became even colder and more ruthless, "Don't speak!"
"Why?"
"Why do you stutter? Has no one taught you how to speak confidently? Why do you always sound so humble? Do you think you're inferior?!"
Lu Jiunian smashed his phone and walked over to grab Shi Nianzhi's wrist tightly.
When Shi Nianzhi struggled, she said, "You're hurting me."
"I told you not to speak!"
Lu Jiunian scolded him harshly.
Shi Nianzhi lowered his head and fell silent.
After a while, Lu Jiunian forcefully shook off Shi Nianzhi's wrist and called out, "Aunt Zhang!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang rushed over, "Third Master."
"Go and change his clothes."
"well."
Aunt Zhang led Shi Nianzhi by the hand and walked upstairs.
Lu Jiunian sat on the sofa, lowered his eyes, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
Aunt Zhang led Shi Nianzhi back to the dressing room, then picked out a casual and youthful outfit and handed it to him, saying, "Young Master Shi, wear this."
Shi Nianzhi took off his black shirt and held it in his hand. "This isn't my shirt, is it?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "These are Mr. Shi's clothes, made to your size. They were just delivered from Italy last week."
"You're lying to me."
"Young Master Shi, I never lie."
"Do you know that person? The one who looks a lot like me, Gu Yuanyuan's uncle. How much does he look like me? No... how much do I look like him..."
"Young Master Shi, I won't say things that aren't my responsibility."
"Do you know his name?"
"Young Master Shi, if Third Master really cared that much, how could you not know his name? If he truly loved someone, he would call out his name even in his dreams. The fact that you haven't heard it means that Third Master doesn't care that much. By the same token, the fact that Third Master married you instead of him means that you are unique."
"......"
Shi Nianzhi fell silent.
Aunt Zhang added, "Don't get angry with Third Master later. Just go. If you love someone, you should try to win them over. Has Young Master Shi ever thought about becoming a part of Third Master and making him love you?"
"How do we do it?"
"Use your heart."
After Zhang Sao finished comforting Shi Nianzhi, she left with a smile.
After changing his clothes, Shi Nianzhi crumpled up his previous clothes and threw them into the trash can.
Although doing this was wasteful, he suddenly felt very comfortable.
After a while, Shi Nianzhi picked up the clothes from the clean trash can again.
He couldn't help it; he was used to being frugal and thrifty, so he stuffed the clothes into a corner of the closet.
"I'll secretly take it to line the chicken coop tomorrow."
That way it won't be a waste.
Shi Nianzhi let out a heavy sigh and went downstairs.
Lu Jiunian said nothing or offered no explanation. Seeing Shi Nianzhi come down, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
He got up and walked outside.
Shi Nianzhi followed.
Drunken Life Bar.
Shi Nianzhi was led to a luxurious private room that resembled a small bar. He sat on a soft sofa and looked at the colorful wine glasses in front of him, illuminated by the lights.
He wondered if he could get Lu Jiunian drunk so he could find out who the person in his heart really was.
Shi Nianzhi really wanted to get Lu Jiunian drunk, but he was too timid and it was his first time in such a place, so he was at a loss for what to do.
Jiang Kai, on the other hand, very naturally sat down next to Shi Nianzhi.
Lu Jiunian was chatting with someone when he noticed something and glared at them with a sharp look.
Jiang Kai touched his nose, moved to the side, and snapped his fingers in front of Shi Nianzhi. "Little Nianzhi, do you know they're all talking about you?"
"The music was too loud, I couldn't hear what they were saying."
"Hahaha, you're so cute. Is this music nice?"
"It's so noisy it hurts my ears."
"Hahahaha, did you see that stage? Do you want to go sing? I'll take you to sing, okay?"
"I can't sing."
"Then I'll sing it for you."
Jiang Kai ran off like the wind, then took over the stage, saying, "Next up, the incredibly talented singer Jiang Kai will perform a song for you, 'Decent'."
Someone in the audience heckled, "Brother Jiang, don't turn this bar into a place for heartbreak, okay?"
Jiang Kai, holding the microphone, said, "Does it hurt? It's meant to hurt. Living is about experiencing pain, hahaha."
Then he snapped his fingers and started singing.
As soon as Jiang Kai opened his mouth, his voice was magical, and Shi Nianzhi's eyes sparkled.
It sounds beautiful, but it's just too sad.
Ding Qianqian sat at a distance watching Shi Nianzhi, her teeth clenched in anger. How could this be? How could Lu Jiunian have brought Shi Nianzhi out?
Shi Nianzhi was wearing loose jeans and a white sweatshirt, and she looked very cute and well-behaved.
I don't fit in at all here.
Ding Qianqian is very perceptive. Shi Nianzhi is clearly more favored. If Shi Nianzhi goes to bother Lu Jiunian while Shi Nianzhi is by Lu Jiunian's side, he will only annoy him.
But Ding Qianqian was really uncomfortable. He had been by Lu Jiunian's side the last few times, so it was naturally upsetting to lose favor so quickly.
But then Jiang Kai sang that song on stage, which made Ding Qianqian even more resentful.
Just then, someone shook the dice cup, and Ding Qianqian quickly went over and asked Shi Nianzhi in a friendly manner, "Do you know how to play?"
Shi Nianzhi shook her head, "No."
"It's okay, I'll teach you. It's very simple. Let's play together, otherwise it'll be so boring. The rules are very simple..."
Ding Qianqian pulled Shi Nianzhi into the game.
Shi Nianzhi was completely confused by the rules, but when he heard that the loser had to drink, he was immediately struck by the fact that he didn't understand.
His eyes lit up as he looked at Lu Jiunian, and he tugged at the man's sleeve, "Then I lost, you drink it for me."
