The two arrived at the underground parking garage.
Su Luo originally wanted her to sit in the back, but Ellie was quick-witted and opened the passenger door before he could speak, naturally getting into the passenger seat.
Seeing this, Su Luo felt too embarrassed to ask her to get out and move to the back seat.
After getting into the driver's seat and fastening his seatbelt, he turned to Ellie and asked softly.
Where is that delicious restaurant you mentioned?
Ellie smiled and said, "Dehezhuang Hot Pot."
Su Luo's heart skipped a beat, and her voice became somewhat unsteady.
The one on Pingyang Road?
He was very familiar with this hot pot restaurant. The first time he ate there was when Nini bullied two male classmates at school and he was called to the school by the teacher. He happened to pass by it after leaving the school.
Later, Nini said the food was delicious, so the two of them often went to that restaurant to eat.
But he hasn't been back since Nini disappeared.
Ellie noticed that something was wrong with Su Luo and asked him a question she already knew the answer to.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Hmph, she's not entirely heartless. It seems Su Luo still remembers that this hot pot restaurant was her favorite place to go.
Sulock suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly.
"It's nothing, this is fine then."
He skillfully started the car and slowly drove it out of the underground parking garage.
Seeing that Su Luo was unwilling to say more, Ellie stopped asking and turned her head to look out the window.
My cheeks are burning and hurting again.
I raised my hand and gently rubbed my cheek; it felt swollen.
Suddenly, I felt a little regretful. Why didn't I buy myself some medicine when I bought the cake for Su Luo? Going out with such a face was really damaging to my image.
A short while later, Su Luo stopped the car on the side of the road.
Ellie asked, puzzled, "Why did it stop?"
"Wait me a moment."
Su Luo got off the bus and went straight to a nearby pharmacy. After buying a few boxes of medicine, she hurried back and casually tossed the medicine to Ellie.
"Apply some medicine before eating, otherwise it will be worse tomorrow."
Ellie looked down at the medicine in the bag, a slight soreness rising in her nose. She quickly suppressed the emotion that shouldn't have been there, looked up at Su Luo, and said softly.
"You can help me apply it, I can't see it myself."
Su Luo asked dismissively, "Don't you have a makeup mirror in your bag?"
It's really inappropriate for him to apply medicine to his artist. It's already outrageous enough that he ate alone with her, but this is the first time he's done this in all his years of working.
"No, please go all the way. I really can't see it, and I'm so hungry. I didn't eat anything for lunch, please, please."
Ellie habitually tugged at Su Luo's sleeve, acting like a spoiled child.
She gently swayed her shoulders, causing her long golden twin ponytails to flutter. Her delicate and pretty face was filled with grievance, and her big, watery eyes blinked, making her irresistible.
Su Luo couldn't help but think of Nini again. How strange, why did this girl's coquettish mannerisms resemble Nini's so much?
He naturally couldn't refuse, so he subtly withdrew his hand and said helplessly.
"Okay, I'll apply it for you."
Ellie chuckled, "Thank you."
Su Luo opened the cap of the ointment, dipped a cotton swab in some ointment, and then gently wiped the red marks on Ellie's face.
The car was already a small, enclosed space, and the two of them were very close together, so they could smell each other's warm breath.
Ellie felt that Su Luo's movements were very gentle and careful. She looked into his gentle eyes and smelled the familiar scent of soap on him.
My heart started racing involuntarily.
Bang bang bang!
It seemed as if it was about to leap out of his chest.
This is wrong, how could this be wrong?
She hates him now and shouldn't be reacting like this.
Ellie bit her tongue hard, trying to use the pain to regain her senses.
But I didn't expect that I would bite too hard, and I couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Startled, Su Luo hurriedly removed the cotton swab and asked nervously.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot? Did I use too much force?"
Ellie shook her head awkwardly, then nodded.
Su Luo said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll be gentler next time."
As she spoke, Su Luo used a cotton swab to wipe Ellie's wounds again.
Ellie smiled. "President Su, you're such a good person."
To him, she was now just a stranger who looked somewhat like Nini, yet he was completely unprepared.
They were completely fooled by themselves.
How foolish, just as foolish as before. Saying he's a good person is also a form of mockery. I'm just being sincere because I'm afraid he'll discover my ulterior motives.
Su Luo genuinely believed that Ellie was giving him a serious evaluation, and spoke earnestly.
"I'm not a good person, Ellie. Don't be easily moved by men. Men are very complicated creatures."
He genuinely hoped that Ellie would be more discerning when choosing a man in the future and not date someone as awful as him.
Huh?
Why would he be concerned about Ellie's marriage?
Is this correct?
Upon hearing this, Ellie's feelings were extremely complicated.
"Hehe, no bad person would admit to being bad. I think you're good, that's enough."
Secretly in my heart.
Yes, you are a bad person, utterly bad.
In the past five years, have you ever really looked for me or thought about me?
If my mother hadn't become a vegetable, I probably would have been locked up for life.
Su Luo just smiled and didn't argue with her anymore, continuing to apply the medicine for her.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had switched Ellie and Leila's roles today, thinking that Ellie would avenge him and teach Leila a lesson.
To my complete surprise, she didn't fight back.
So he asked the question that had been bothering him.
"By the way, why didn't you hit Leila back then? You knew she was deliberately targeting you, and her saying she wasn't in good shape was just an excuse."
Ellie looked up at Su Luo, her bright eyes curving into beautiful crescents, and smiled.
"Because I don't want to become like her. If I really fight back, my grudge against her will never be resolved, and the cycle of revenge will never end."
If you weren't there, I would have called back. I had no choice, I just wanted to make you think I was kind!
Sure enough, Su Luo was touched by Ellie, and her gaze towards her became even gentler, tinged with a hint of admiration.
In this respect, Ellie is not like Nini.
If it were Nini in this situation today, she would definitely fight back, and she would fight back even more fiercely.
But while admiring Ellie, I also felt a bit worried.
With her kind heart, she could easily be taken advantage of in the cutthroat entertainment industry.
What if she gets bullied again and I can't get there in time?
Ellie easily caught the emotion in Su Luo's eyes, after all, they had lived together for so long.
He asked tentatively.
"You're not worried about me, are you?"
Su Luo gasped.
"You...you're amazing, you could even tell that."
Is this really a young girl who has just come of age and entered society?
How could I be so perceptive of my own emotions?
He used to wear his heart on his sleeve, but after years of starting a business with Mia, he has evolved and become much more mature and stable.
Unless you know him very well, you won't easily see through his thoughts.
