When the prepared fish soup is served, a fresh aroma wafts through the nose and makes people appetize.

Li Zechen, who was just thinking about eating something with Jiang Lai, also felt hungry.

Crystal lamps illuminate the entire dining room.

The two sat facing each other, eating dinner quietly.

Jiang Lai ate very slowly, it looked like he had eaten a lot, but in fact, there was not much in the mouth.

In the end, I drank two bowls of fish soup.

Li Zechen thought about what Jiang Jiang had said, and a dark light flashed under his eyes, but he didn't let Jiang Lai see it.

After dinner, Li Zechen said that he still had something to deal with and wanted to go to the study.

Jiang Lai naturally took over the task of cleaning up the kitchen.

"Actually, you can use the dishwasher too!"

Jiang Lai glanced at the high-level mechanical device and said, "I'll wash it by hand, and I'll eat it." Go ahead and get busy. ”

Li Zechen nodded, "The guest room has been cleaned up, if you are tired, you can go upstairs to rest." ”

"Good!"

After Li Zechen entered the study, Jiang Lai turned on the faucet, adjusted the water temperature, and just picked up the cloth for washing dishes, and the feeling of turning the river and the sea in his stomach suddenly attacked.

She quickly turned off the faucet, covered her mouth, and went up to the second floor lightly.

As soon as the door to the guest room was closed, the door to the study opened.

Li Zechen stood at the door, stayed for a few seconds, and walked out.

"Vomit ......"

In the bathroom, Jiang Lai squatted on the ground, gasping for air.

A burning sensation from the mouth all the way to the stomach.

After slowing down for a while, I felt that I didn't want to vomit anymore, so I walked to the sink and turned on the faucet to rinse my mouth.

As soon as I lowered my head, I heard a familiar male voice: "Don't use cold water." ”

Jiang Lai's body stiffened, and the whole person seemed to be fixed there!

When did Li Zechen come in?

She didn't even notice it!

When Jiang Lai's mind was in a mess, Li Zechen had already walked to her side, put down the water glass, and then reached out to turn off the faucet.

There was no sound of water, and the whole room fell silent in an instant.

Jiang Lai inexplicably had a feeling in his heart that he had done something bad and was caught, and he was panicked.

She even wondered if Li Zechen would think she was sick!

No, she is indeed sick!

And it's a recurrence of an old disease.

Li Zechen saw that she kept her head down, pursed his lips and asked, "Are you going to talk to me anymore?"

His tone was a little cold, not at all gentle.

Sensing this, the panic in Jiang Lai's heart was expanding little by little, spreading, she

I couldn't help but clench my hands into fists and let my nails dig into the flesh.

Li Zechen couldn't help but feel helpless when he saw her white knuckles.

picked up the water cup and handed it to her, because she was still angry in her heart, her voice was a little stiff: "Rinse your mouth first." ”

The astringent feeling in Jiang Lai's throat has not yet dissipated, and he is always a little uncomfortable when he speaks, so he pauses and takes the water glass.

The cup is warm water, and Li Zechen has always been thoughtful and considerate to her.

She knows it all.

Li Zechen was waiting for her to say it herself, and she knew it.

It's just that these have been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I feel more and more difficult to speak.

Especially in front of the people she likes, admitting that she is a patient makes her feel inferior even more than saying what she was wronged back then.

"If you really don't want to say it, then I won't ask. You go to sleep first!"

Just when she was repeatedly entangled and hesitant, Li Zechen suddenly spoke.

When Jiang Lai heard this, his heart suddenly sank as if weightless, and he subconsciously wanted to grab Li Zechen's hand, but he forgot that he still had a water cup in his hand.

With a "snap", the cup fell apart.

Jiang Lai was taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly squatted down to pick it up: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

"Don't touch it!"

Li Zechen grabbed her wrist and bypassed the pile of debris, and was about to bend over, and then found that he only had one arm that could be stretched freely.

Forget you're hurt again!

He looked at Jiang Lai with helplessness in his eyes: "You are really ...... Why would you give me a chance to show my boyfriend's strength when I'm not capable?

"No, it's not. Jiang Lai hurriedly explained, "It's me who is clumsy. ”

"It's well described," Li Zechen's hand strained slightly, "Step over." ”

"Oh!"

Jiang Lai raised his feet and stepped over cautiously.

However, in view of Mr. Li's inconvenience, Jiang Lai still had to clean up the debris of the glass by himself.

When he came out, Li Zechen was sitting on the bed.

"What did you just want to tell me?"

Jiang Lai pursed his lips, walked over, and sat down next to him.

She lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "I have something to hide from you." ”

"And then?"

"I took a break from school that year because I was depressed and couldn't continue my studies. All my hopes were shattered, and everything I saw was gray and colorless. If it weren't for my parents guarding me every day, I might not have been in this world a long time ago. ”

Li Zechen's face was still calm, but his heart shrank suddenly.

Suddenly I felt that I shouldn't let her reveal her scars again.

Jiang Lai didn't notice his thoughts, and said to himself: "At that time, I refused anyone's care and approach, and my parents were careful every day, for fear that that sentence would stimulate me. My dad has never blushed with anyone in his life, but he quarreled with his neighbors over me.

"Then we moved and cut off contact with our former neighbors. They also took me on trips, and every night my mom had to get up quietly several times to see if I was asleep.

"From the beginning to the end, they didn't ask me a word about plagiarism. Just stand with me and face it together. I wanted to start over, they didn't ask much, they just said if it was what I wanted to do and they would always support me!"

Jiang Lai exhaled a long breath, desperately trying to force back the tears: "But now, everything has been ruined by Gu Qingyin again." And this time I'm even involved with you. ”

Li Zechen reached out and pulled her into his arms, rubbing her hair very gently.

"I'm sorry!"

Jiang Lai cried and grabbed his clothes with trembling hands.

Li Zechen was distressed, and hugged the person in his arms: "Didn't I tell you that I don't need to say 'I'm sorry' to me, why did you forget it? Since you have entered my place of belonging, you are my person, rest assured, you will not lose everything, with me, no one will want to hurt you!"

At this moment, a thousand words are not as simple as three simple words "I am here!", which is like a key that opens the door to her emotions, and she can no longer control it.

Li Zechen felt that his chest was moistening little by little, but the warmth thought that it hit his heart directly, and it was so hot that it hurt.

Jiang Lai choked up, wanting to finish his words: "I'...... I want to be in control...... Myself, but...... I found ...... I can't control it. I can't sleep...... I can't eat, and even if I do, I will vomit. I'm scared ......."

Li Zechen gently patted her on the back and coaxed softly, listening to her crying gradually getting louder, and just let her cry.

If you cry out, you won't hold it in your heart anymore.

When she slowly stopped, Li Zechen helped her wipe away her tears: "Okay, do you still want to cry now?"

Jiang Lai's eyes were still red, and he shook his head when he heard this.

"Then go to bed. ”

Jiang Lai got up and saw that his chest was wet with a large piece, and he was suddenly a little surprised: "Why don't you go and change your clothes first!"

Li Zechen knew that she had already vented, so he wanted to tease her: "It's not convenient for me to change myself, why don't you help me change it?"

Jiang Lai's reaction was still a little sluggish at the moment, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, his crimson cheeks and the wet eyes that he had just cried in his eyes made people want to be close.

He thought so, and did so.

"Close your eyes!"

Finally, the finger rubbed a few times on her red lips: "Do you want to help me?"

Jiang Lai nodded in a daze, and when he reacted, he had already been pulled out of the door.

When he arrived at Li Zechen's room, he suddenly said, "Since you have agreed to help, then ......" He suddenly lowered his voice and attached it to her ear, "It's better to help me put the bath water away!"

Jiang Lai's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

"What's the matter? just let you put a bath water, not let you help me take a bath, what are you blushing for!"

was so gentle just now, why did she start bullying her again in a blink of an eye!

She couldn't help but mutter, "Didn't you say you wanted to protect me? I'm so miserable, why are you bullying me?"

Li Zechen was so close that he happened to hear it, he chuckled twice and forced her to the door of the bathroom step by step: "After you go out, others must not touch you, but behind closed doors, I can only bully you alone." And besides, this is bullying? I want to bully a little bit more, do you want to try?"

Jiang Lai shuddered and closed his eyes: "No, no need!"

"Then don't go yet!"

Jiang Lai was pardoned and hurried into the bathroom.

Li Zechen laughed silently behind her.

After a few minutes......

"Put it away, you go wash it!"

Jiang Lai took small steps, wanting to stay away from him.

Li Zechen noticed her movements and laughed secretly.

"By the way, help me get my change of clothes ready!"

Jiang Lai moved halfway through when he heard this.

A change of clothes?

"Oh!"

Li Zechen curled his lips and smiled, and kindly reminded: "Remember, from the inside out!"

Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and his whole face was as if he had been cooked.

--

When Li Zechen came out, he saw Jiang Lai in a daze again, and coughed lightly.

Unexpectedly, she stood up all of a sudden and turned around.

Such a big reaction?

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you come out without clothes!"

"It's inconvenient to have one hand!"

Jiang Lai covered his face, and his mind was full of the pictures he had just seen.

He, he, he...... I didn't have any clothes on my upper body!

"Come here!"

Jiang Lai did not move.

"If you don't help me get dressed, I'll have to sleep like this!"

After a minute, I saw Jiang Lai turn around, but he didn't put his hand down, just leaked a little gap, and moved to the side of the bed step by step: "Come here!"

Li Zechen walked over very cooperatively.

When Jiang Lai saw his feet, he shouted, "Stop!"

Then he grabbed his pajamas and closed his eyes: "Come on, put them on!"

Li Zechen couldn't cry or laugh: "How can you wear it with your eyes closed!"

Jiang Lai thought about it, and it seemed that he couldn't wear it.

Then open it a little bit, "Now it's okay." Raise your hand!"

Li Zechen can only obey his fate!

"And the buttons!"

Jiang Lai stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he didn't dare to raise his head, staring at the button without squinting.

But how can you not see anything!

Calm down! Calm down!

By the time he finished buttoning the buttons, Jiang Lai felt that his back was covered with sweat.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Li Zechen's voice with a smile: "And the pants!"

Jiang Lai trembled suddenly, and wanted to cry again: "You, you wear it yourself!"

Worried that he wouldn't be able to come back for a while, Li Zechen decided to let her go first!
