Chapter 181: She said, let me drink some, so I can pounce on you

A layer of fine raindrops fell on the girl's shoulders, her thin coat was soaked cool by the dampness, and the ends of her hair were stuck to her cheeks wetly.

The cigarette between his fingers was still burning, and the white mist drifted up slowly.

Rolled by the night wind, it scattered between the two.

Time seemed to freeze.

In the end, it was Xie Qin who broke this dead silence.

"Following me?" His throat was slightly hoarse and cold, and there was a bit more depth in his eyes looking at her.

Shen Li's long eyelashes trembled lightly, and she slowly lowered her eyes.

The fine rain fell continuously, wetting the street lamps, blurring a circle of gentle yellow.

Xie Qin raised his hand and extinguished the cigarette butt in the mottled old corner.

Then he took out his phone and dialed a number, holding it to his ear, his dark eyes locking onto her without blinking.

On the other side, Xu Zhouyuan was disturbed by a ringtone, didn't intend to answer, turned over, and it was still ringing: "Damn, which bastard is calling in the middle of the night."

Unable to bear it, he grabbed the phone, saw the name of the caller, and forced down his full anger.

Pressed answer.

"Disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night, doesn't your conscience hurt? Say it quickly if you have anything."

After a few seconds, Xie Qin's voice came lazily:

"Call the police, someone is following and harassing, are you going to deal with it?"

"What?" Xu Zhouyuan's brain was still confused, "You're being followed? Man or woman? Where are you?"

Xie Qin's tone was lazy, biting his words: "Left turn at the three-way intersection of Huatian A Block office building, —female! hooligan."

"Female hooligan?" Xu Zhouyuan thought it was something, and when he heard it was this crappy thing, he called him inexplicably, and there was an unknown anger in his heart. Don't you know what time it is? Don't you know that the dad now is not the dad before, unlike back then when he could stay up all night casually.

"Then you didn't earn it! You were given a chance, so grasp it well."

"At your age, go to sleep early, keep in good health..."

"It's not that I'm talking about you, can you tell me during the day if you have anything in the future. Being followed by a female hooligan, is there anything worth showing off to me specifically... to the point of making you specifically pick this time to disturb my sleep?"

"You're so immoral!"

Xie Qin's voice just fell.

Suddenly.

Shen Li reached out and hugged him gently.

Xie Qin's figure stiffened suddenly, and his fingertips holding the phone curled tightly, his strength sinking a bit.

All indifference and coldness were gathered clean.

Xu Zhouyuan's nagging teasing on the phone.

Instantly blurred into background noise, not hearing it clearly at all.

His eyes moved slightly, looking down at her sudden action.

The cold rain dripped along the sparse hair on the man's forehead, hitting her black and shiny hair that was draped and stained with rain.

He raised his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, suspended in mid-air, finally falling gently, slowly clenching into a solid fist, and dropping back to his side.

Shen Li hugged his waist, her strength very light, leaning against his chest, sticking to the place closest to his heart.

She closed her eyes, and the moment she touched him, all her disguises shattered.

Her body trembled slightly, her shoulders shook, and hot tears mixed with the cold rain all over her body, seeping into his clothes.

She was crying silently, even a trace of sobbing was cautious.

The cold rain slid slowly along Xie Qin's sharp and sharp jawline.

Only the street lamps were on in the empty long street, and a car crushed shallow water light and drove past his eyes.

Time, scene, falling rain, also seemed to freeze at this moment.

Making him lose all reaction.

A very weak voice drifted clearly into his ears.

"I'm sorry..."

…

One o'clock in the morning.

A man and a woman in the same room.

Shen Li lowered her eyes, not knowing if it was the alcohol at work or the sleepiness that made her tired, her eyes were empty, sitting quietly on his bed, until a clean gray towel was thrown on her head, she reacted slowly, raised her eyes to look at him and blinked.

Xie Qin: "Wipe it yourself."

This tone was not very bad, but it couldn't be considered very good either, with a distant boundary.

Shen Li reached out slowly and grabbed the towel, wiping the rain from her hair.

Xie Qin took off the black jacket he was wearing, then threw it aside, staring at her: "Did you drink?"

Shen Li nodded and responded softly: "Mm."

"Who did you drink with?" His tone carried a bit of questioning.

Shen Li responded: "Zixin."

Xie Qin narrowed his eyes, "Why did you drink?"

Shen Li felt like a student who had done something wrong, being disciplined by the head teacher, not daring to move, and honestly confessed: "She said, let me drink some, so I can pounce on you."

Xie Qin curled his absurd mouth and laughed.

After Shen Li went back at noon, she finished her class.

Zhang Zixin made an appointment with her at a bar and came up with such an idea.

"... He's angry, just coax him. If it really doesn't work, just pester him."

"Drink some, give yourself some courage."

Don't know if the alcohol really worked.

Or borrowing the alcohol, she finally did what she wanted to do.

——Hug him,

She could have gone up to find him.

But she didn't,

Instead, she stood downstairs...

Later it rained.

Shen Li didn't leave either.

Waited for two hours.

Only then did she see him walk out of the office building and followed him for a while.

Watched him smoke one cigarette after another.

Didn't follow him for long, and was discovered by him.

Pestering like this, she couldn't really do it.

Even if she followed him, Shen Li kept a certain distance and didn't follow too closely.

After she finished this explanation, the room fell into a weird silence.

Shen Li inexplicably didn't dare to look up at him, but could feel that strong gaze falling on her, hard to ignore its existence.

Thought it was her action that made him angry.

Just now she also reflected that it was she who proposed the breakup and caused him to have a car accident.

Some things cannot be passed with just an explanation and a "sorry".

Even if it passed.

Some feelings cannot return to the past just because you say you can.

She lowered her head again, "I... just... wanted to say sorry to you."

"Next time... I won't do this."

Her voice grew weaker.

With a trembling tone.

Xie Qin's eyes were dark and unclear, "Go take a shower, find clothes in the closet yourself."

He dropped this neither cold nor hot sentence and turned to leave the room.

'Bang'.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Shen Li stared at the door, a bit dazed.

After he was gone, the sharp air pressure decreased a bit.

Shen Li slowly looked around the bedroom, gray style, clean and tidy, the space was large, with a separate dry and wet bathroom.

His things were few, empty.

Everything in this room was his scent.

After a while, the sound of Xie Qin making a phone call came from the living room, his tone hidden with uncontrollable anger, a bit unclear.

Later... he probably walked to another place to make the call.

The surroundings also quieted down.

She didn't hear his voice again.

Half an hour later.

Shen Li finished her shower, wearing clothes she found in his closet, not very fitting, a bit too big, the pant legs and sleeves were folded up.

Walking out of the room. She looked up and saw the clear and tall back in the kitchen. ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
