14 Chapter 14
Chen Jing'an has already seen his methods, and now he is even more shocked by his shamelessness, he probably has his own set of logic, in his logic, only he is a human being, what are the others, whether they are willing or not, who cares. As long as he wants, he must get it.
Shen Lie didn't like her by any means, how could she like it. It's nothing more than seeing the flowers on the road blooming beautifully, and simply wanting to take possession of it, so he would rather break it, even if the flower doesn't live for a day.
It doesn't matter, if you die, throw it away, there will always be the next one.
What she is, a thing, an object.
"Don't you think you're shameless?" Chen Jing'an asked coolly.
Shen Lie looked at her, and there was nothing in his eyes that lacked empathy: "If this will make you feel better, I can think so too." ”
“……”
Actually, pointless question.
Do people who do a lot of evil really think that they are doing bad things?
The room was quiet, neither of them spoke, there was no sound of knives cutting and frying food, listen closely, all the sounds came from the outside. Chen Jing'an was flustered and anxious, she didn't want to stay here for a moment if she could, but she couldn't. She saw the cigarette case and silver lighter on the dining table, stared at it for a long time, and asked him if he could try it herself.
"Yes." Shen Lie was a little surprised, "But it's not a lady's cigarette, the taste will be more mellow, your first time, it shouldn't be a good experience." ”
"I still want to try." Chen Jing'an insisted.
Shen Lie didn't stop it, he watched Chen Jing'an touch the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, put it to his mouth decently, and then lit it, the moment the cigarette butt was gasped, she was in a trance, her eyelashes fluttered, and then she inhaled almost awkwardly, the smoke entered her lungs, and she was spit out again.
She choked, grabbed the countertop, and began to cough violently, as if to spit out the remaining smoke from her lungs.
Shen Lie handed over a glass of water, and her reaction was not difficult to guess.
Chen Jing'an grabbed the cup and poured water, the smoky breath in her throat faded somewhat, she coughed so red that her face was red, and the cigarette she was holding in her hand was taken by Shen Lie and extinguished in the ashtray.
It was indeed not a good experience, and it was enough to teach her a lesson that she would stay away from for the rest of her life.
After calming down a lot, Shen Lie asked, "Do you want to see this?" ”
Chen Jing'an shook her head, then nodded, she would rather go to the house than continue to eat and listen to him talk about cooking.
Shen Lie took her to the front yard, the turf was newly planted, some flowers and plants were also newly planted, this house was started a few years ago, it has been empty and has not been lived in much, and it was turned out and renovated after a whim. In fact, there is nothing to see on the first floor, the living room occupies almost all the area, on the second floor, the last room in the corridor is pushed open, it is a music room, the equipment is readily available, there are a few pipa hanging on the wall, Chen Jing'an recognizes it, all of them are the top, priceless treasures in the market.
Behind the piano bench are floor-to-ceiling windows, and the curtains are pulled open, revealing that the sky is getting late, the red sun hangs, and the day will pass over the starry night.
The room was full of gold and jade, Chen Jing'an only felt a chill down his spine, and still asked: "To collect so much, Mr. Shen should have spent a lot of time." ”
"It's not long, but it's not easy." Shen Lie replied paradoxically.
Chen Jing'an knew too well that no matter how powerful Shen Lie was, these could not be done in a few days, no matter how fast it was, it would take several months.
And they, from the first time they met, that performance, it was only more than two months.
In other words, from the first day, he expected that there would be today.
"You can try." Shen Lie said.
Chen Jingan shook his head and said no: "It's a waste to be bombarded by my qualifications." ”
"No matter how expensive the piano is, it can be used, and if you don't use it, it has no value."
Chen Jing'an still didn't play, she didn't even go in. Shen Lie took her to continue to other rooms, a bedroom, a separate cloakroom, all clothes without removing the labels, long skirts and cheongsam dresses, accessories, shoes, bags...... The bathroom countertop is a full range of cosmetics, all unopened.
All of these are waiting for the hostess who is about to move in.
She reminisced and smiled reluctantly: "Is this the golden wire cage made by Mr. Shen?" ”
Shen Lie didn't understand it that way: "It's just convenient for you to come and live, it doesn't matter if you stay for a day or a few days." ”
"I don't know your preferences very well, so I have to prepare some for everything, if you have anything you like, you can also mention it, and then let people buy it."
"Mr. Shen."
Chen Jing'an stopped him: "I didn't agree. ”
"I know." Shen Lie raised his eyes, "It's not early, I'll find someone to send you back." ”
There was no further questioning, no persecution, only a show of the cage he had already prepared, and when she was uneasy, it suddenly stopped, and said that she should go back in a bland and friendly manner.
Chen Jing'an did not breathe a sigh of relief, but wanted to drown in it.
She didn't speak, she listened to Shen Lie call the driver, and when she waited for the driver, the sunset had completely disappeared, and the sky, which was quite bright just now, seemed to be darkening in a moment. Shen Lie turned on the light, and in a few minutes, the car had already arrived at the gate, she politely said goodbye, and went downstairs and crossed the courtyard.
Chen Jing'an knew that Shen Lie was looking at her, and that gaze had a sense of presence that was difficult to ignore, and when she was about to push the door, she couldn't help but turn around.
Shen Lie was on the balcony, all the lights behind him were turned on, too bright and dazzling, the eyes of the two people intersected briefly, and quickly staggered, Shen Lie had already turned around, the lights were extinguished one by one, and they returned to the darkness like death.
This sudden darkness, as if sure that she would no longer have any power to resist, was so thorough and decisive that it was more terrifying than any enthusiastic noise.
Chen Jingan got in the car.
Ruan Ling called, she answered and put it in her ear, and heard the exhalation of gratitude on the other side of the phone, Ruan Ling asked if anything had happened, if he had been bullied, and what conditions he proposed.
There were a lot of questions, Chen Jing'an didn't know which one to start answering, and she didn't have the strength, so she only said it after she came back, Ruan Ling heard the tiredness in her voice, and comforted her gently.
The next day, He Songwen called and said that the matter on the engineering side was solved, praised Mr. Shen as a good person, and thanked her teacher Zhou Zhengqing, who was able to get through this time, thanks to his help.
Chen Jing'an couldn't be happy, if it weren't for her, her uncle wouldn't even have suffered this unwarranted disaster.
The next few days were calm again.
But Chen Jing'an already knows that silence does not mean the end, she was crushed by this silence, as if in the silence, there are people who have suffered because of her, who will be next, teachers, or parents? Chen Jing'an didn't dare to think deeply, shrouded in invisible fear, no matter how calm she was on the surface, she couldn't hide the fact that she was on the verge of collapse.
In this psychological game battle, she lost completely.
Chen Jing'an's palm holding the mobile phone was sweaty, she didn't seem to know how to spell pinyin, every word was difficult to spell, a few words, it took more than ten minutes - okay, I promise you.
Finally, click send, a string of numbers that have been memorized without remarks.
A few minutes later.
The other party replied to the message: [Okay, I'll pick you up on the weekend.] 】
Chen Jing'an suddenly unloaded, he was a prisoner, and when he got the final verdict, he couldn't do anything but accept the facts.
—
During the waiting time, Chen Jing'an did not have the slightest sense of becoming Shen Lie's girlfriend, except for the text message last time, there was no contact between the two of them, she knew that Shen Lie was busy, and even a little lucky, if it was only a weekend contact in the future, the days did not seem to be so difficult.
Then the weekend came as scheduled, and she walked into her execution ground.
Shen Lie was in the car, she should have come out of the company, she was still in formal wear, but the position of the cuffs was the cufflink, and this familiarity made her feel a little more at ease.
He put it aside in his hand, and his smile was as warm as "What do you like to eat?" ”
Chen Jingan got in the car and said anything, she was not a picky eater.
Shen Lie said the name of the restaurant, Huaiyang cuisine, which is the cuisine of her hometown: "Maybe it's not authentic enough, but I can't judge, and I still need you to evaluate it after tasting it." ”
Chen Jing'an said okay, and after a while, he asked the question that he had been wanting to ask for the past few days, but he didn't remember to ask - "When will it end?" ”
This abnormal relationship will not last forever.
How long she needs an exact time.
Shen Lie was not surprised that she asked this kind of question, but instead propped up her jaw, as if she was thinking seriously: "Maybe soon, maybe for a long time, no matter which one it is, I can't seem to give a specific time." ”
"I hope you can give a specific time."
"When does Miss Chen want it to end?" Shen Lie asked rhetorically.
Chen Jing'an looked at his expression, wanting to know what kind of motives he had to ask such a question, but his expression was ordinary and he couldn't see anything, so she didn't answer, and then asked, "Can what I say count?" ”
"I can't." Shen Lie replied quickly this time.
Chen Jingan laughed angrily.
"But I can still make some references."
Yes, it's not up to her to decide from the beginning, and how can it be when it ends. Thinking about this, I'm not so angry. She pursed her lips and waited for him to answer.
When the car had completely driven out of the university town, no longer had to start and stop, and began to drive unimpeded, Shen Lie slowly said: "When I get tired, it will be over." ”
When do you get tired?
Chen Jing'an wanted to ask, but felt that this question was even more stupid, who could know? She nodded and said yes, although there is no definite time, there is hope in the end.
Love is inherently difficult to keep fresh, people like Shen Lie no longer have the fun of chasing games, but they are afraid that they will get tired faster, and she thinks that her personality is boring and boring, which will probably only accelerate the process.
She thought that the drive would be quiet and silent, and then go to the restaurant, and then go back to school after eating, as if she was doing a task to check in, but Shen Lie asked her how to talk about love.
"What?" Chen Jingan thought she had misheard.
Shen Lie's expression was not unnatural at all, and he repeated: "What should you do when you fall in love?" ”
Naturally, it seems that I asked her about her tastes, what she likes to eat, and what she has to avoid before.
Seeing Chen Jing'an's thoughts, Shen Lie said that this was the first time, she instinctively didn't believe it, how could it be? was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, how could he fall in love with zero times. But Shen Lie disdains to lie, and in this matter, there is no reason either.
Chen Jingan frowned, in a complicated mood.
Shen Lie asked, "I look like I've talked about it many times?" ”
Chen Jing'an didn't answer, which can be regarded as a kind of acquiescence.
"You're the first."
Shen Lie smiled, "Although I am a beginner, my mind should not be bad, as long as the teacher is willing to teach, I think it should not be difficult to learn." ”
Teacher refers to her? But how to teach this kind of thing? When Chen Jing'an was distracted, the hanging hand was suddenly held, the warm touch made her care about the time to react, the space in the car was not rich, and there was an obstacle to place a water cup in the middle of the co-pilot, but now there was nothing on it, Shen Lie held her hand and put it on the table.
His bones are thick and distinct, his fingers are slender and jointed, and the blood vessels hidden under the cold white skin can be faintly seen on the back of his hand, and the veins are clear and distinct, compared to him, Chen Jing'an's hands are smaller, although the fingers are slender, they can be completely wrapped after being clenched.
Shen Lie held her hand with ease and asked, "Is holding hands the first step in love?" ”
Chen Jing'an's arm stiffened, and he hesitated for a moment to say yes.
"You should be relaxed." Shen Lie's fingers have pressed on her forearm, following the texture of the muscles, now it has entered early summer, she is wearing a simple T-shirt, there is no clothing on her arm, she can clearly feel the temperature of his fingertips, inch by inch, she seems to be choked by her throat and breathing is stagnant, not only did she not relax, but it made her more nervous.
Shen Lie felt it and smiled a little happily: "Probably not a good teacher." ”
Even more clumsy than his student.
He knew it was because he was afraid, but he didn't care, he held her hand until the restaurant, her palms were wet, and he wiped it off with paper before getting out of the car.
Chen Jing'an had to react for a long time, and when he heard his self-deprecation, he realized that this was probably a hellish joke that belonged to him.
The meal was delicious, and Shen Lie asked if it was to her liking, and she could only answer indiscriminately.
Shen Lie had a good appetite tonight, he had tasted a few chopsticks in a few dishes, and then held the chopsticks with great interest to pick up the fish bones for her, the chopsticks did not enter the fish, some inclined arcs, and then rowed over to the tail of the fish...... He made it meticulously, and he also picked out the soft fish bones, and on the plate, there was a complete fish skeleton left.
He is probably the only one who has such patience when it comes to eating.
After eating, Shen Lie didn't send Chen Jing'an back to school, tonight's date just seemed to have just begun, and she came to the last place where the car stopped, it was the club where Qin Yinian took her to meet her friends.
Probably because the memories here are not good, Chen Jingan instinctively repulsed a little.
After getting out of the car, Shen Lie held her hand, the palm was thick and wide, and held her hand completely.
Not like in the car.
It was the first time outside, in the light, and it was grandiose.
"I'll play with you this time." Shen Lie led her in, it was the last time he was familiar with the moon-holding treatment of the stars, he saw that Chen Jing'an was not used to it, and waved people to get busy, leaving only the manager to serve.
All the way to the hall, Chen Jing'an saw a familiar figure frozen in place, it was Qin Yinian, pinching a cigarette and smoking, and there was a woman with good taste beside him, the woman was on his shoulder, talking and laughing with other people.
Qin Yinian saw her, saw her shaking hands with Shen Lie, and his expression froze on his face.
Chen Jing'an instinctively went to look at Shen Lie, wanting to read something from his face, did he mean Qin Yinian when he said "play something interesting"?
Shen Lie turned his head to look at her, pulled his lips and smiled lightly, the more heavy his eyelids became, he leaned over slightly, as if he was talking affectionately in his ear: "I said last time that my strength was lighter, I was telling the truth, this time, do you want to be heavier?" ”
Last time in the hospital.
He once commented that she slapped Qin Yinian lightly.
