Chapter 183: Really... can't you give me another chance?

~8 min read 1,419 words

Woke up naturally from a sleep.

Shen Li sat by the bed, dazed, her long hair a bit messy, not yet reacting from what happened last night.

This was Xie Qin's home, she really went home with Xie Qin, slept in his room, occupied his bed, and let him sleep on the sofa in the living room.

Hearing subtle movements outside.

Shen Li slowed down, reacted, stood up, put on slippers, walked out of the room, and her gaze fell on the busy figure in the kitchen.

At the room door, she stared at him for a few more times, afraid this was a dream.

It was an illusion.

After waking up, he would disappear.

Xie Qin brought out the porridge he had boiled, turned around and saw the person who woke up, looked at her, and said in a tone that was not distant or idle: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face, tidy up and come over for breakfast."

Shen Li reacted slowly, nodded in response: "Mm."

Walked to the bathroom outside, closed the door, and saw a new toothbrush cup and squeezed toothpaste by the sink.

On the wall next to it, next to a gray towel, hung a pink towel, which also looked new.

Was this... specifically bought for her?

Thinking of this, her heartbeat accelerated.

Making her curl her lips involuntarily.

Three or five minutes later, Shen Li finished washing, tied up her draped long hair with a rubber band, revealing her smooth forehead, two broken hairs that couldn't be tied fell by her ears, she looked in the mirror, opened the door with a nervous mood, and walked out.

Xie Qin had prepared two sets of bowls and chopsticks, put them on the table, and then pulled the chair to sit down at the dining table.

"That... I didn't bring a rubber band, let me borrow yours to tie it up first, I'll return it to you later."

It was not easy for her to wash her face with her hair draped, so she borrowed it first. She found this rubber band in the cabinet next to the mirror, don't know if it was left behind by his previous girlfriend and forgotten to be taken away.

Xie Qin, a man, shouldn't use this woman's stuff.

Zhang Zixin said, there was no dating object.

But it didn't mean that Xie Qin didn't have a girlfriend at some stage.

It was impossible for her to know what he was doing twenty-four hours a day.

After all, six years, such a long gap, it was normal for him to have a girlfriend and bring her home.

Even if there was, Shen Li didn't care too much.

At least he didn't have one now.

Xie Qin rolled up his sleeves, took an empty bowl and filled it with porridge, put it on the table, and then said to her: "The rubber band was given by the boss who bought toothpaste and toothbrush."

Shen Li muttered, whispered: "I see..."

Looks like she thought wrong.

Xie Qin turned his head to look at her, and asked back in an idle tone: "Otherwise what?"

Shen Li dodged when she met his eyes, "No... nothing."

But hearing this answer, she felt a little easier in her heart.

Shen Li walked toward him and sat down in the opposite position.

The breakfast on the dining table was very rich, with several items.

But maybe she couldn't finish it.

After sitting down, she lowered her head and took the spoon to drink the porridge he cooked.

The atmosphere was silent, too quiet.

After so many years, as soon as she came back, she was alone in a room with him.

In the end, she was still a bit unaccustomed.

In her behavior, Shen Li was also a bit cautious, because she was afraid that her existence would be a superfluous disturbance to him.

She felt like she should say something to ease the atmosphere between the two.

Just as she was hesitating to find a topic.

Xie Qin raised his hand to pull a tissue, padded it on the table, peeled the egg in his hand, turned his head to look at her, and asked quite casually: "Going abroad to study and coming back, isn't staying in Haishi better for you?"

"Why, still come to Wuchuan?"

Wuchuan is not bad, mainly because she is from Haishi, normal people wouldn't want to be too far from home.

But she still chose here in the end.

Shen Li lowered her eyes, didn't give him an answer quickly, but thought carefully and seriously about how to tell him.

Time passed bit by bit for a few seconds.

The scene was stagnant.

Xie Qin stared at her,

Shen Li's heart tightened slightly.

Actually, this time she came back, she sat on the plane and assumed many scenes of meeting Xie Qin again, and rehearsed countless times, Xie Qin asked her why she came back, how she should answer.

Her purpose was actually very clear.

If Xie Qin was still single and didn't have a girlfriend.

She wanted to pursue him again.

Return to the past.

Even if he had dated other girlfriends in these six years, it didn't matter.

If he hated her, because of the breakup with her back then, disgusted her... didn't want to see her.

She would try her best to make up for him and get his forgiveness.

After he wasn't angry.

Then leave his world.

No longer disturb his peaceful life.

Now after a night of getting along, she found that Xie Qin's attitude toward her was very peaceful, and not as disgusted as she imagined, not wanting to see her.

She felt that she should still have a chance.

These few seconds of calming down

The thought of reconciling with Xie Qin became stronger and stronger.

Now... everything she should do, she did.

There were no more worries.

This time she wanted to be brave once.

Xie Qin, who was a mature man at twenty-five, slowly merged with him in his teenage years of eighteen or nineteen in her memory.

The eyebrow contours hadn't changed at all.

It was just that he was more mature now, his features were deeper and more three-dimensional... even more attractive and handsome than when he was young.

Shen Li raised her head to look at the person in front of her, her eyes filled with determined seriousness, and also with a test of him: "Because... I want to pursue you."

"..."

This bold declaration of love.

For Shen Li, it was rational honesty, and she didn't think it was a shameful act.

Xie Qin looked at her steadily, his eyes deepening a bit.

This answer...

Afterward, he leaned back on the chair lazily, tilted his head, crossed his long legs, and the corners of his mouth curled with a lazy and playful arc, "You dumped me so heartlessly back then, and left for six years."

"Now that you're back... you found that you have lingering feelings for me, and you plan to reconcile with me."

"I'm very curious, what... made you think I would eat leftover grass?"

Shen Li pursed her lips tightly, and because of his words, a feeling of guilt wrapped around her heart, her voice weakened very lightly: "I'm sorry."

Xie Qin's words overturned all of Shen Li's previous beautiful thoughts, leaving her no room.

"... My purpose in coming to Wuchuan is indeed to pursue you."

"If I do this, it will cause you trouble."

Shen Li frowned slightly, looking at him apologetically: "... I will dispel such thoughts."

"..."

But she was still a bit unwilling.

"Really... can't you give me another chance?"

His silence replaced his response.

The atmosphere was quiet.

Shen Li slowly lowered her head.

It seemed that the uncomfortable feeling she had when she rejected Xie Qin back then was also experienced by her once.

She didn't consider herself a very fragile person, and wouldn't easily shed tears in front of anyone.

Even if she was sad, she would only lick the painful wounds alone, silently bearing the worst emotions in her heart.

Shedding tears was a very negative thing.

So she wouldn't show her fragile side to others, but in front of Xie Qin, she couldn't control herself.

Shen Li just blinked, and her long eyelashes were wet, "... I haven't not contacted you, I have called you."

Finally, uncontrollably, tears surged, falling down one by one with force, her vision becoming blurred. ===== CHAPTER 184 =====
