C69 (2/2)

When he was on his way back, Uncle Zhou called him and asked, ”Miss Chu Xin, can you please ask, what would you like to eat tonight?”

Sheng Rui He thought he heard wrong. He walked over to Uncle Zhou and repeated the name twice more. He was sure that it wasn't true.

That feeling at that time was actually different from the pain and regret from all these years … There was an impulse that made him want to cry. Even when his leg was broken and he tried to prop up his cold, stinging prosthesis, he didn't have the urge to cry. He suddenly realized that his eyes were wet at that moment.

His voice was so gentle as if she was the one on the other end of the phone, telling him the names of more than a dozen dishes. The more Uncle Zhou wrote down, the more he realized that these were Shen Yuxin's favorite dishes.

However, these past few days, when she looked at her favorite foods, she didn't squint as she ate, revealing a happy and intoxicated expression. She also didn't eat until she was full and couldn't move, instead she would curl up on the sofa like a cat …

The dinner was very sumptuous, it swept away Shen Chu's mind for a while.

Those memories from her previous life struck her like mountains and seas. She lowered her eyes and pinched her thighs for a long time before she finally calmed down. Facing such a meticulous and gentle person like Sheng Rui from seven years ago, she suddenly felt wronged.

Sheng Rui He looked over at her. When she felt his gaze, she slowly suppressed the bitterness in her eyes. She raised her head and said, ”I'm no longer picky with food.”

In fact, she hadn't come into contact with him that many times, so every word she spoke was filled with sincerity, hoping to see his regret see his pain and heartache. However, when she said these words, she really didn't intend to torture him.

His calm words made the man's throat twitch. After a moment of silence, he said, ”I know.”

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was about to turn tense again, Uncle Zhou hurriedly brought out two cups of bone soup from the kitchen. One was placed in front of Shen Chuxin, while the other was placed in front of Sheng Rui He.

”I've made the kitchen boil a pot of soup for the whole afternoon. Young miss, young master, try it out.”

Shen Chu kept his emotions in his heart and opened the lid that seemed to be made of jade. He lightly sniffed and frowned, before raising his head, he said, ”Uncle Zhou, this soup doesn't treat his leg well. Go to the kitchen and change the mushroom carp soup.”

There was a long silence in the dining room.

Uncle Zhou wiped the corners of his eyes, revealing a gratified and relieved smile. He then left the room for them and went into the kitchen to instruct others to make the soup that Shen Chuxin had told him.

Shen Chu's heart was also a little sad. Seven years ago, every bit of care and care he had for her was taken for granted by her, and now, after seven years, after hating him for an entire seven years, she reminded him so naturally that they could only face each other in silence.

But now that she was back, she had to find out what had happened.

The only way to find out the truth was through Sheng Rui He … She felt sorry for her purposeful reminder that the naïve, headstrong young lady was no longer what she remembered.

When Uncle Zhou came out again, they were still silent. However, how could the emotional fluctuations on Sheng Rui He's face be hidden from this old man who brought him up?

This dinner wasn't too bad after all.

At least Sheng Rui He thought it was a good beginning. He didn't expect her to return to the girl who had held no grudge against him seven years ago. Her reminder made him feel as if he had been bathed in a bright light for seven years without sunlight.

The warmth was indescribable.

After dinner, Rui He was just about to push down the barrier when Shen Chu walked over to him and said softly, ”I'll do it.” Without giving him a chance to refuse or respond, he pushed him up the newly renovated slide.

It had to be said at that moment that it was too warm for him. The seven years of pain didn't matter to him at all.

Everything seemed to be progressing in a good direction.

If, without her next request.

Outside his bedroom door, the light in the hallway was soft. Her voice was no longer the domineering voice it used to be, and every syllable was the serene voice of a mature woman. ”Can you take me out tomorrow?”

Sheng Rui He's heart sank. He couldn't suppress the pain in his heart, but when he turned his head to look at her, his expression was still indescribably gentle. ”I still have a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

Finally, he couldn't help but want to see that bastard?

Shen Yuxin had long guessed his rejection. She took a step towards him, slowly squatted down, put her face between his knees and said in a low voice, ”Brother Rui, I want to go and see them. Please come with me … …” His voice was choked with pain.
