Chapter 154 Unfamiliar
On non-working days, Shen Jiazhou usually dresses casually. Today the temperature was high, so he wore a black hooded sweatshirt and a white T-shirt, which was very loose. He had left his spare jacket at Wen Shuqiao's house and had not taken it away.
Wen Shuqiao now had his arms pressed against his waist, pressing both the T-shirt and sweatshirt tightly against his skin, which felt hot and itchy.
He pursed his lips and looked at Wen Shuqiao, his brain frantically thinking about something.
But Wen Shuqiao didn't look at him, but just looked behind him. Only then did Shen Jiazhou realize what was happening and turned his head to look. A cleaning machine was being pushed away, and the area it was cleaning was exactly where he had just stood.
He was so absorbed in listening to the phone call that he didn't notice.
Wen Shuqiao waited for the cleaning car to leave before looking at Shen Jiazhou. After exchanging glances, he quickly withdrew his hand and explained, "I just called you."
But Shen Jiazhou didn't hear it because he was on the phone, so she had to push him inside.
"Oh." Shen Jiazhou said slowly: "Gu Xingyuan's call, I didn't pay attention to the other things... Thank you."
Wen Shuqiao shook his head: "It's a small matter."
She had already picked out the nutritious milk powder and put it in the car: "Just buy some more fruits and vegetables and then you can check out."
Shen Jiazhou uttered "oh" again, still holding the phone to his ear.
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but ask, "What did Mr. Gu say?"
Shen Jiazhou finally came back to his senses. He put down the hand holding the phone. Gu Xingyuan had hung up the call without hearing his response.
He put the phone back into his pocket. "He didn't say anything. He just said he would take Cancan for two more laps and then come back. I think it will be around five or six."
Wen Shuqiao was thinking about whether to make dinner, so Shen Jiazhou said, "I'll have the restaurant deliver the food later. You and Cancan can eat. We have other things to do."
Wen Shuqiao nodded, knowing in his heart that it was the Shen family's business. Shen Jiazhou took the initiative to hold the handle of the cart, exerted a little force, and held the cart forward.
Wen Shuqiao came back to her senses and followed him. She continued, "It was mainly because it came over that I pushed you. Don't be upset. I apologize to you."
"..." Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips: "I'm not unhappy."
Wen Shuqiao looked at him: "Really?"
She clearly felt something strange about Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou hummed: "No need to apologize, I'm not unhappy, I just didn't hear you calling me."
Wen Shuqiao's fingers grabbed the cart handle, and the cart and the people stopped.
Shen Jiazhou first lowered his eyes to the white and slender hand, which was only a fist away from his hand. Then he turned his head and met Wen Shuqiao's gaze.
She kept her eyes on his face, and he subconsciously wanted to look away, but then he thought of something and lowered his eyes to look at her again.
He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wen Shuqiao looked away, as if he realized something was wrong: "Sorry, I'm used to it. When Cancan says one thing and means another, I like to stare at him."
Shen Jiazhou: ...
Who is saying one thing and thinking another?
Shen Jiazhou pushed the cart and walked quickly towards the fruit and vegetable area. Wen Shuqiao sighed and followed him: "It's just a joke, Mr. Shen, don't be angry, don't be angry."
"Not angry." Shen Jiazhou said, "Do I look like someone who would get angry?"
Wen Shuqiao thought to himself, this is really hard to say.
But he still said, "No."
Shen Jiazhou snorted lightly and ignored Wen Shuqiao. Like a dumb robot, he followed Wen Shuqiao's steps and was unwilling to speak.
Wen Shuqiao: ...
After purchasing the items, Wen Shuqiao was just about to take out his mobile phone to pay when Shen Jiazhou had already paid.
He was carrying two large bags and walking out. Wen Shuqiao put his phone back into his bag and walked over: "I'll carry one."
Shen Jiazhou said: "No need."
Wen Shuqiao said nothing and followed Shen Jiazhou out.
But after walking a few steps, Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but look at her again. Why didn't she speak again?
The strange atmosphere continued until they got in the car. Wen Shuqiao looked around and said, "Wait for me. I'm going to buy something."
Shen Jiazhou was putting things in the trunk. He hummed, "Got it."
He watched Wen Shuqiao walk towards the vendor selling candied haws and muttered, "Do you like eating candied haws that much?"
Have someone make some and bring it over tomorrow.
Shen Jiazhou got on the car and saw Wen Shuqiao coming back with the bag. A minute later, Wen Shuqiao also got on the car.
She opened the bag and handed a bunch of strawberries to Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Strawberry, then looked at her: "For me?"
Wen Shuqiao said: "Well, I hope Mr. Shen will be generous enough to forgive me for speaking without restraint."
Shen Jiazhou then realized that Wen Shuqiao was here to "coax" him.
Really, he wasn't angry in the first place, nor was he saying one thing and thinking another.
Wen Shuqiao said, "I bought a small one. It looks delicious, but we're going to eat it now. Don't tell Cancan, or he'll be angry too."
Shen Jiazhou took her strawberry and said reluctantly, "I'm not angry about what you said. This is your hush money. I won't tell Cancan that you paid for others."
Wen Shuqiao felt the same as Mingjing, she said, "Yeah, okay, thank you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Jiazhou put the strawberry skewers aside: "I'm not your boss, don't call me Mr. Shen."
Wen Shuqiao exclaimed, "Shen Jiazhou?"
"Aren't we familiar with each other? You can drive the car. I'm going to get out." Shen Jiazhou pretended to unbuckle his seat belt.
Wen Shuqiao subconsciously reached out and covered his seat belt buckle: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, drive quickly, it's time to go back."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at her: "Your seat belt."
Wen Shuqiao blinked and pretended to be surprised: "I only remembered to check the seat belt for our uncle, but forgot to check my own. Fortunately, our uncle was kind enough to remind me."
"...Wen Shuqiao!" Shen Jiazhou felt a little resentful: "I'm not Cancan, can you please talk properly?"
Wen Shuqiao held back his laughter, reached out and pulled the seat belt to buckle it: "Okay, okay, I'll talk properly."
Why didn’t I realize that teasing Shen Jiazhou was so interesting before?
