Chapter 21: The Morning Change

Probably because the idea took root in his heart, the following night, He Sibai slept well.

By the time he woke up again, it was already daylight.

He hadn't drawn the curtains before going to bed last night, and at this moment, the blue-gray morning light mixed with the sound of small birdsong poured in.

He Sibai lay on the bed, staring at the golden ringed wallpaper on the ceiling for a while.

It had been a long time since he had slept in such a comfortable environment.

There is no choking smell of tobacco and alcohol, no rancid smell of fermented food, and no noisy sound effects of boys gathering to play games.

Shuffling voices came through the door of the room. The boy hesitated for a moment, but still got out of bed barefoot, and with some curiosity, unscrewed the doorknob of the room.

The moment he opened the door, He Sibai was a little stunned.

In the dining room, Shen Qingzhao and a tall man stood side by side, cleaning up the table together.

Shen Qingzhao was tilting his head sideways, smiling and talking to the man. Her black hair was scattered randomly around her fair neck, and with the green nightdress on her body, she was beautiful and lazy in the morning light.

At that moment, Hesbeth almost thought that last night's nightmare had come true.

"Yo, get up." Guan Tong's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see him standing at the door of the guest room, and waved his hand to him enthusiastically.

"I ordered some breakfast and didn't know what you tasted. You taste it, if you don't like it, I'll order it again. ”

"I can do it, thank you." He Sibai breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, let go of the hand that had been holding the doorknob tightly, and walked over.

Guan Tong kept putting bread on the plate, and his eyes kept looking at him: "I heard that your hand was injured, are you okay?" ”

"Minor injuries." He Sibai raised his hand wrapped in gauze and showed it to Guan Tong.

"Hey, this doesn't look like a minor injury," Guan Tong was taken aback, and said worriedly, "Then you should be careful, be careful not to get infected." ”

"Okay, thanks." He Sibai smiled.

"The floor is cold, go put on slippers," Shen Qingzhao, who had not spoken, raised his chin at him, "and then came out to eat." ”

He Sibai let out a good sigh and turned back to look for slippers in the room.

When he put on his slippers and walked out again, Guan Tong happened to be talking on the phone: "...... Just put it in the lobby on the first floor, thank you. ”

"How can there be takeout?" Shen Qingzhao glanced sideways at Guan Tong with some confusion: "How many stores did you order?" ”

"Three, bread, morning tea, and coffee. This time, it was coffee that was delivered. Guan Tong pointed to the LOGO on the bread bag on the table, "His coffee is as bad as washing pot water." Take a sip and feel bad luck for the whole day. ”

Shen Qingzhao gave a thumbs up: "She is worthy of being a delicate little princess." The little princess went down to get takeout by herself. ”

Guan Tong tricked: "The air freshener in your elevator smells too bad, I don't want to sit on it." ”

"Okay," Shen Qingzhao said with a pleasant face, "Then you can go down the stairs, it's 19 floors anyway." ”

Guan Tong snorted angrily.

"I went down to get the bread and morning tea, and I think if I go down again, it is likely that other residents will think that I am a delivery boy or an elevator cleaner," Shen Qingzhao smiled, "No normal person will take the elevator three times in half an hour." ”

Two adults in their twenties are still arguing about the question of "who is going to take takeaway", like elementary school chickens. Seeing this, Hess took the initiative to say, "I'd better go." ”

"Don't, don't, I'll go by myself." Guan Tong immediately put down the plate in his hand.

"It's okay, it's just three cups of coffee," He Sibai knew that Guan Tong was worried about his hand, "I'll just carry it with my left hand." ”

Guan Tong was about to say goodbye, but He Sibai had already taken off his coat from the hanger first, turned around and went out.

Seeing He Sibai's figure disappear at the door, Guan Tong turned his head and glanced at Shen Qingzhao.

Then I changed the subject very quickly.

"It's going fast." Guan Tong arched Shen Qingzhao with his shoulders, his expression couldn't be said to be restless or excited, "I just entered the kitchen and saw two wine glasses in the sink." It depends on the situation, you two came back from the hospital last night and had a drink with Yue? ”

"Clear all the yellow scraps in your head," Shen Qingzhao was expressionless, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, nothing happened last night." ”

"Ahh Guan Tong was a little surprised.

Shen Qingzhao sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and briefly told Guan Tong about last night's situation by the way: "That's it." ”

"You two are really not normal people," Guan Tong was disappointed, "Everyone else confesses after drinking, and then has a romantic romance under the instigation of hormones." You two are good, drunk and confessed? Is this the finale of some kind of criminal case? ”

Shen Qingzhao ignored Guan Tong's derogation and puffed out a cigarette to himself.

When the smoke almost dissipated in the air, she whispered: "You also know that I usually talk hippie and smiling, maybe I don't have a sense of proportion, I can feel the signs that this kid may have some thoughts recently." So there are some things that I think it's better to take the opportunity to tell the truth. ”

Guan Tong didn't know what to say, whether to praise Shen Qingzhao for being self-aware, or to evaluate her for being too rational......

"Ah...... That's right, too. Guan Tong replied dryly, and asked euphemistically, "I know you wanted to help him at first, but now that you can see that He Sibai has a good impression of you, what are you going to do?" ”

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingzhao stared at him strangely: "What to do?" ”

"For example, avoid suspicion and alienate him...... Let his feelings for you gradually disappear," Guan Tong said for a long time, seeing that Shen Qingzhao had been looking indifferent, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked in an incredulous tone, "Wait, you don't also have a good impression of He Sibai, right?" ”

"Yes, but not much," Shen Qingzhao was very frank, "You know, I don't like Nianxia, but I can't help it, his face is so good-looking." ”

"Scumbag." Guan Tong was heartbroken, "I'll just say how did you change your career to charity, your motives are really not pure." ”

"Don't, my motive was very pure at the beginning, just to help," Shen Qingzhao raised his hand to crush the cigarette butt in the ashtray, looked at Guan Tong lazily sideways, and his tone was rarely a little serious, "Yesterday I made it very clear, that is, to tell him that I helped him at the beginning because I felt sympathy." Tell him not to like me because I'm good to him. That's not love. It's gratitude. ”

"If he separates gratitude from love, I don't mind developing with him. After all, his face is too good-looking. ”

The two of them in the room were still having a heated discussion on the topic of "appearance", and no one noticed that there was a crack in the door, and a tall and thin figure was standing silently there.

It was He Sibai who turned back and looked at the house number.

- I don't mind developing with him. After all, his face is too good-looking.

Shen Qingzhao's words undoubtedly strengthened He Sibai's confidence in the "pursuit of great causes".

With a faint smile, he listened silently for a while, and heard that the focus of the topic in the room gradually deviated and turned into a nutritious ridicule, and he was just about to step away, when he suddenly felt that the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

He Sibai took out his mobile phone and found that these were two voice messages from [Mrs. Tang].

- I heard that your dad had an accident, are you okay?

- Remember to reply to me when you see the message, Mom is worried about you.

The words are full of warm concern.

The teenager frowned slightly, feeling a little confused about his biological mother's belated caring text message.

He didn't see the other end of Jiang Cheng, the woman in the cheongsam looked at the two messages he had just sent, but her expression was obscure.

The woman held the mobile phone and waited quietly for ten minutes, seeing that her "worry" still did not get any reply, the woman's expression slowly became difficult to see.

After a few moments, the woman picked up her phone again and dialed an unknown number.

This time, her tone was light and cold.

"I did a good job last time, this time, I have to find a way to make him never return to Jiangcheng."

The truth always seems more brutal than the reality as it sees.

The young man who walked away in order to reply to the text message did not hear it, and after he left, Shen Qingzhao and Guan Tong had a conversation in the second half -

Guan Tong sighed: "Yes, He Sibai's face is indeed good-looking. But I remember you commenting on every love partner with this phrase - 'What to do, his face is so good'. ”

"Really? I don't remember," Shen Qingzhao's face did not change.

"yes, and then break up within three days of losing interest in that good-looking face." Guan Tong mending knife.

Shen Qingzhao tilted his head and smiled, and his raised eyebrows outlined a charming charm:

"Please, what I like is freshness."

Because she never believed in long-lasting love. So in her, no one will be an exception beyond the [Love Shelf Life].
