"If I'm unwilling to help with anything or suffer any losses, wouldn't that make me seem cold-blooded?"
Sheng Yi listened without making any big movements, but quietly peeled an egg for her, and peeled it very carefully, without completely removing the shell from the parts that his hands touched.
Zhu Qinghao reached out and took it, leaving the half-shell in his hand. What Zhu Qinghao held in his hand was a clean and intact egg.
These details warmed Zhu Qinghao's heart.
But Sheng Yi himself seemed quite indifferent. After throwing away the eggshell, he continued talking about the topic she had been discussing.
"How could that be? Everyone looks out for themselves. We should always start from our own perspective, only doing things that make us feel comfortable, and ignoring things that don't."
There's no need to wrong yourself for anyone, you know?
No one knew that, despite his outwardly calm demeanor, he was actually terrified that Zhu Qinghao wouldn't take the egg from his hand.
My heart was pounding as I handed the egg over, and it took almost all my strength to keep my hands from shaking.
Only after Zhu Qinghao reached out and took it did he quickly withdraw his hand, squeezing it tightly to suppress his inner elation.
Finally, he answered Zhu Qinghao's question in a seemingly relaxed manner, concealing his own helplessness.
Zhu Qinghao was unaware of Sheng Yi's inner thoughts; she only knew that his answer pleased her, so she nodded with a smile, indicating that she understood.
Actually, she could probably sense that Sheng Yi seemed to treat her somewhat specially, after all, he was really too good to her.
Of course, she might be mistaken, but she was certain that she genuinely had some feelings for him.
She had initially thought that she and Sheng Yi might not understand each other very well in many ways, but now it seems that they are actually quite similar in many aspects.
However, there is another possibility: that Sheng Yi is accommodating her. Even so, she is still happy.
Having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time she had ever felt this way about a person. At first, she was a little confused, but then she suddenly understood. However, after understanding, she felt a little uneasy.
After all, the family matters hadn't been resolved yet, and her family members were still suffering. She was somewhat unsure how to face her own feelings.
Moreover, this feeling brought her a sense of novelty.
The feeling she has now when she's with Sheng Yi is completely different from the feeling she had when she was with Liu Yansong in her previous life.
In her past life, her relationship with Liu Yansong seemed to be a natural progression, because she knew from a young age that she was going to marry Liu Yansong.
Perhaps because of the troubles that happened to the Zhu family, the two of them never experienced any sweet moments from the beginning of their marriage; they simply had their own plans.
Zhu Qing wanted to obey her family's arrangements and have Liu Yansong accompany her to do her best to take care of her family members who had been sent to the countryside.
Liu Yansong only guessed that Zhu Qinghao had a sum of money and wanted to scheme against her for her job, so he kept being insincere and evasive in front of her.
Later, Liu Yansong, together with Lu Rou, drugged Zhu Qinghao and tricked her into vomiting up most of the money hidden in the Zhu family villa.
After breaking the ice, Liu Yansong became even more uninhibited, and the two argued every three days and every two days, leaving Zhu Qinghao exhausted.
Thinking of the past, Zhu Qinghao kept trying to reinforce her memory, afraid that she might forget it one day. Her hands clenched tighter and tighter, and she didn't even notice that her face had turned pale.
"Okay? What's wrong? Don't you like eggs?"
