Chapter 65: Honesty
Shen Yihui sat down opposite her, his expression flat, as if he was talking about other people's gossip: "Liang Jianguo, your former partner or fiancΓ©?" Actually, you like that type, right? You want to take revenge on them, but you don't have much time to prepare fully, and you are limited by the environmental conditions, so you can only choose to marry me. β
Lin Xi: "......"
What bride is so unlucky as her? On the day of the wedding, the groom was so caught off guard by the queen of autumn, her face was instantly hot, and she must have been as red as a boiled shrimp.
But he still struggled to defend himself: "No, Liang Jianguo and I did not confess to each other, nor were we engaged!" When I was a child, my parents joked that we would be a couple, and I was five or six years old and didn't know anything at all. Later, the Liang family was transferred out, until I was thirteen years old and they came back, because my stepmother was harsh, I didn't dare to fight, during this period Liang Jianguo gave me a lot of support and help, I was indeed very grateful and dependent on him, called him Brother Jianguo, he has always been like a brother, take me out shopping, watch movies, at most is holding hands, meet his classmates and friends, he said "This is my uncle's sister"...... If it continues like this, maybe it's possible, right? But I was forced to leave Haishi, he didn't say anything, and soon happily fell in love with Sun Bingyan and got engaged, and I knew that it was very uncomfortable after that, thinking that I couldn't face it, but the moment I saw the two of them together, I was as calm as water and had no complaints. This shows that Liang Jianguo and I are at best what people call childhood sweethearts, and we don't have the kind of fate and feelings between mature men and women. β
"Really?" Shen Yihui's eyes were light.
Lin Xi nodded, thinking to himself: Of course it's not true! Lin Xi's previous cute love missed Liang Jianguo, knowing that Liang Jianguo and Sun Bingyan were engaged, her heart was broken, and she didn't want to live!
But this must not be said to Shen Yihui.
"As for my choice to marry you...... It's your own request! I said that the partners should understand each other first, and you applied for marriage directly, so I can't blame you! Lin Xi turned his face sideways to look out the window and pouted.
A smile crossed Shen Yihui's cold face, as if a layer of ripples rippled on the calm water, and soon returned to its original state.
"You and Liang Jianguo really have no fate, if you have other feelings, it is also naΓ―ve and can't stand the test, I don't care."
Shen Yihui said slowly, Lin Xi looked at him, a little surprised and a little moved: That's right, men have to be open-minded and don't care.
But I heard him continue: "Actually, I don't believe that you really fell in love with me at first sight - don't admit it, you are being deceived!" I fully understand your situation and see it clearly, but I took your trick and applied for marriage, and I know why? β
Lin Xi gave up arguing for himself, and stammered and asked, "Why?" β
"Because, it's rare to meet such a stupid woman, and after seeing this stupid woman...... Can't get rid of it! I couldn't figure it out at first, my heart was blocked, and then I heard you say that you had a crush on me and wanted to talk to someone, and the mess dissipated immediately! I didn't think about getting married before, because the marriage I have seen is trivial and complicated and full of troubles, just think if the marriage partner is you, maybe it is not difficult? I've never met you, but it's a different feeling! I know there's no way I'm really not getting married, and the pressure on me is unabated, and it's all well-intentioned, so it's better to get straight to the point than to face it endlessly! And so as not to regret it in the future - since I have decided on you, I will definitely regret letting you go, because you have such a mentality and are so hungry that you will soon find another ......"
Lin Xi quietly heard the end, his face suddenly turned red, and he directly grabbed the water cup and splashed him: "You bastard!" You're hungry! β
Shen Yihui stretched out his big palm to grab her hand and cup, and gently pressed it back on the table, the water splashed half of the table, he curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes were full of smiles - if someone else treated him like this, he would return it directly, but the stupid girl's behavior made him feel full of fun, like teasing a fried kitten:
"I'm sorry, I can't think of words for a while, wait until I think about it."
Lin Xi broke free from him, shook the water in his hand, rolled his eyes at him, and complained in his heart: No culture!
Shen Yihui got up and took off the towel from the hook on the wall, wiped Lin Xi's hands first, looked at her eyes, and his expression returned to his usual coldness: "You are very good at scolding, but if you have an opinion about me in the future, even if you say it openly, I can accept it." β
Lin Xi: "......" You are even more powerful, you know how to read minds, how did you learn it?
Shen Yihui changed a rag to wipe the water on the table, and continued: "Our marriage is like an exchange at the moment, each taking what he needs, right?" β
Lin Xi gritted his teeth and replied honestly: "Not exactly." β
Shen Yihui stared at her eyes: "I don't think so, at least, you really like me!" β
Lin Xi was speechless, his eyes flowed, and he nodded with a smile: "Yes!" You're so handsome...... It's just that it's so beautiful! β
"Is that all?" A smirk appeared on the corner of Shen Yihui's lips: "No matter what, thank you for taking a fancy to you!" You won't be disappointed or regret if you choose me, I just need you to keep your promise: concentrate on being my virtuous-internal-helper! β
This is to remind her that she recommended herself to be a virtuous helper for him, Lin Xi felt that today's face was almost unbearable: "I know, I may not be qualified, I will study and work hard!" β
"Okay, I'll wait." Shen Yihui was very polite.
Lin Xi lowered his head and played with the cup, and said a little unconvinced: "You just question me as a liar, why don't you review yourself?" You chased and arrested me for Yu Xiaoqin that day, like words? Even if I'm a liar, who am I not fooling you? β
"Revenge on me?"
"You owe me!"
"That day...... Yes, it's really my fault, I owe you! Shen Yihui smiled slightly and recognized it very simply.
He was really a little inexplicable that day, but she actually caused it, right? is obviously a delicate and elegant woman, but she is so bold and looking at him directly, her eyes are as clear and translucent as stars, but her eyes are so complicated, as if she contains countless secrets, the key is that she will run away after reading it, and he has not been able to see her eyes clearly...... Ahem, of course you can't tell the truth now!
didn't talk enough, a few of Shen Yihui's comrades-in-arms came in, the world of the two was broken, the topic became popular, and the others dispersed, and the time was almost up, the two walked back to the family area together, and talked openly and honestly, and they were much more casual with each other, halfway Shen Yihui thought Lin Xi was like a snail, and pulled her away directly, Lin Xi let him, and deliberately shouted tentatively: "Brother Shen......"
Shen Yihui immediately refused: "Call your name, I'm your husband, not my brother!" β
"Yu Xiaoqin can call you brother, maybe someone else will call it that."
"If someone calls me brother, they will call you sister-in-law, and you will call it the same, who will be your sister-in-law?"
Lin Xi: "......"
Such a strange brain circuit, it seems to make sense, then okay, you win!
