Chapter 107: Stay away from him
Song Shuyan scratched his head and clasped his hands awkwardly.
Zhou Jingshen's eyes were heavy, and no matter how much he cared, he couldn't show it. Before Song Shuyan could answer, he said lightly, "You've already sat down. Is it any use saying you care?"
"No." Chen Du answered him very sincerely. He slowly heated his bowl and chopsticks, poured himself a cup of tea, waved to ask the waiter what the table ordered, and added two more dishes.
After the waiter left, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Chen Du was the first to break the silence, "I haven't congratulated you yet, happy wedding."
Under the table, he clenched his fingers into fists, and his extremely short nails almost pinched his palms.
Zhou Jingshen didn't care about his insincerity, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Thank you."
Song Shuyan tried hard to reduce his presence and didn't want to say anything.
There was no way. Whenever she saw Chen Du, she would always feel a trace of guilt in her heart.
Fortunately, Chen Du acted as if he was just sharing a table to have a meal. He drank tea calmly and waited for the food to be served.
After the dishes were served one after another, Zhou Jingshen took apart a chicken leg for Song Shuyan and carefully peeled off the skin with chopsticks before putting it into her bowl. "Try this."
A smile appeared in Song Shuyan's watery almond eyes, and he smiled lightly and thanked her softly.
Soon, there was another chicken leg in the bowl.
"This one is for you too." Chen Du on the opposite side followed suit.
Zhou Jingshen's hawk-like deep eyes swept over coldly, like a cold silver knife stabbing at Chen Du, and he chuckled softly, "Comrade Shen, just take care of yourself. I can take care of my wife myself."
Zhou Jingshen felt a burning fire in his heart. In the past, they were all unknown and it was fine for him to compete for recognition. But now that everything has been settled, shouldn't a grown man be able to let go of things?
Chen Du sneered unwillingly.
If he hadn't taken advantage of the situation and tricked the innocent Shuyan into marrying him.
Why would the relationship between him and Shuyan stop here?
He felt regretful and hateful.
Before he left last time, he should have pestered Shuyan to sign his marriage application even if it meant pestering her to death!
He felt a pain in his heart.
My heart feels empty and my chest feels stuffy. It feels like my heart was cut by a sharp claw, twitching and tightening. The pain spreads throughout my body, and even my limbs feel weak.
The chopsticks held by his slender knuckles suddenly seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds.
The bony fingers turned white from the force.
He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
When she opened her eyes again, she ignored Zhou Jingshen and pulled a mocking smile from her lips. Her dark eyes looked at Song Shuyan hurt, "Shuyan, now you don't even want to eat the food I picked for you?"
Song Shuyan already felt guilty towards him, so why did he look so lonely?
She quickly picked up the chicken leg he had put in the bowl and took a big bite, then hurriedly coaxed him, "No, no!"
"Look, didn't I eat it?"
Now it was Zhou Jingshen's turn to feel upset.
He knew clearly that the man opposite was coveting his wife, but he could do nothing about it.
He keenly felt that Shu Yan always felt guilty towards Chen Du.
When facing Shen Du, she kept as much distance as possible, reduced her presence, and tried not to speak.
She couldn't bear to refuse Chen Du's flattery.
Indulge him, give him some response from time to time, and soothe his broken heart.
Shuyan said that she was really too indecisive.
Fortunately, this guy will go back to the Northwest next month. During these days, he will keep an eye on him and not give him the chance to find Shuyan privately.
All three of them had no appetite for the meal.
After dinner, the two men started arguing over who should pay the bill and almost got into a fight.
The waiter didn't tolerate them and pretended to leave.
"You two have agreed on it, and I'll come over to collect the money."
Song Shuyan stood up silently, took out a handful of bills and stuffed them into the waiter's hand.
"alright."
"No need to argue."
The two childish men were embarrassed and wanted to argue with the waiter.
Song Shuyan strode out of the state-owned hotel, pushed his bicycle and prepared to leave.
Zhou Jingshen strode out, grabbed the handle and stopped her, "It's getting dark, I'm worried about you going back alone."
"Didn't we agree on this?"
"I'll take you home after dinner."
Song Shuyan glanced at him jokingly, "Oh, I thought you were staying here and reluctant to leave!"
Chen Du also followed closely behind, and his eyes dimmed as he looked at the two people who were holding the bicycle together and looked particularly pleasing to the eye and well-matched.
In the past, the person standing in Zhou Jingshen's position was him.
He stood straight, like in a military posture, staring at the two of them. It seemed as if his feet had taken root and he couldn't move.
Until Song Shuyan sat on the bicycle frame, waved to him gently, and said goodbye to him softly, "Well, I'm going back, Chen... Brother, goodbye."
His throat choked, and he squeezed out two words with difficulty, "Goodbye."
She was still willing to call him Brother Shen...
He should be happy.
Song Shuyan held the bicycle frame in a depressed mood and pursed his lips.
Zhou Jingshen felt that she was too quiet and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing... nothing."
Zhou Jingshen's eyes darkened and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she still likes Chen Du?
Yes, they were childhood sweethearts and had been friends for so many years.
He couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.
How could he ignore her so much when he was young and have no interaction with her at all?
At this moment, he even felt a little regretful. Why did he always go to the military camp when he was young? He spent most of the year living in the camp with his grandfather and participating in various trainings.
Zhou Jingshen couldn't bear to see her mood being so depressed, so seeing a small bumpy pothole in front of her, he deliberately acted badly and rode into the pothole.
"ah!"
Song Shuyan screamed in shock, and subconsciously grabbed his clothes with both hands, supporting his waist.
Her fingers, because she used too much force, grabbed the strong muscles on his waist.
Zhou Jingshen didn't feel any pain, but he felt a burning sensation and numbness where her fingers pinched him.
Song Shuyan's face turned red, and just as he was about to let go of the hand that was pinching his waist, there was another jolt.
This time, she bumped into his back and her nose felt sore.
"it hurts!"
At this moment, she finally realized something.
"You did it on purpose!"
"Zhou Jingshen!"
Even though the road is in tatters, we don't have to ride into the pits, right?
Zhou Jingshen did not deny it.
He even admitted it directly.
"Um."
It was intentional.
Song Shuyan was amused by his shamelessness and pinched his waist hard.
Zhou Jingshen gritted his teeth and endured it, not saying a word.
He didn't do anything bad afterwards.
Because Song Shuyan's small hands did not take off his waist.
When they were about to reach the village, he couldn't help but remind them, "Stay away from Shen Du in the future."
