A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 14: Like Love (4)
I was startled all of a sudden and couldn't say a word, but fortunately the waiter came over.Following the usual practice, Shen Qinjun paid the bill in front of me in a very gentlemanly manner, stood up and said solemnly: "I'll take you back."

I followed him out silently, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, a thin layer of ice had already accumulated under my feet, and there was a faint chill under the blue and white light of the street lamps.A gust of new wind swept over me, I took a few breaths and coughed again and again, he just stopped, looked at me with a motionless cough, and said slowly: "I promise you, it won't be like this in the future. Keeping you waiting for a long time."

I managed to stop my cough, and when I heard this sentence, I wanted to laugh wildly, "Why did you promise me? Mr. Shen, there is nothing between us! You love Qin Mou, so you should have a frank talk with her." Let's talk. Why are you pestering me all the time?"

He took half a step forward and stood facing me, no more than a fist away from each other.

"Bai Xi, my patience is limited. I keep you by my side, so naturally I have my reasons." He said softly, "What are you so awkward about?"

I raised my head and sneered, "I'm not being awkward. You are the one who is—Shen Qinjun, don't you know why you came to me?! I look like Qin Mou, you can't control her, so you want to control me, right? !"

His pupils shrank slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, "What did you say?"

"I'm telling the truth!" I gritted my teeth and said, "I look like her, and you're so persistent! You're a pervert!"

His whole body seemed to be a sculpture, and after a few seconds of silence, his eyes suddenly became strange, as if he was looking at my face from the inside out, from forehead, eyes to jaw, and finally stopped on my lips.

Before I realized it was wrong, he lowered his head and kissed him hard, like a beast.

He clasped my waist tightly, pried open my clenched teeth, and suppressed all my resistance with a predatory attitude.

At a certain moment, when I could touch his deepest breath, I suddenly decided to give up all my struggles and let him do whatever he wanted—I knew it wasn't me he kissed, it was just that at that moment, I was like that person.

The snowflakes were blowing on my face, which was bitingly cold.But the breath on his face was so scorching hot, the contradiction made me feel at a loss.I kept my eyes open straight, like a wooden man, and I could see his trembling eyelashes and high nose bridge, but I felt that the person in front of me was so strange.

He may have noticed my strangeness, and finally let me go slowly, looking at me with a look that I can't understand.

"Bai Xi." His eyes were sober, but his voice seemed to be restrained, "I will not let you go."

I woke up from the numb state just now, rubbed my lips hard, "You are crazy!"

His slender figure remained motionless, but dark swirls suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly grabbed my arm forcefully, causing me to stagger forward.

"What are you doing?" I stepped into the mud puddle, splashing a mess on the bottom of my trousers.

He shoved me roughly into the passenger seat and started the car.

While he was still ignoring me, I stretched out my hand to pull the car door, but his movements were much faster than mine—passed me to close the car door again, and quickly unlocked it.

"You're crazy!" I couldn't choose what to say, I didn't know whether it was anger or fear, my whole body was shaking slightly, "Where are you taking me?"

"Come home with me." He turned the corner and said crisply.

"Crazy!" An evil fire began to rush into my head, and I suddenly had an urge to be fearless, and reached out to pull his steering wheel, "I'll tell grandpa!"

He was still pushing my hand away impatiently, but he smiled and slowed down slowly, "Go ahead and tell me. Just say that you are willing to pretend to be my girlfriend for a few 10 yuan."

My hands froze in mid-air, and I couldn't say anything. The hot blood just cooled down slowly until the tip of my heart, where it froze coldly—yes, it's all my own fault!

Whether I am obsessed with lust or being dazzled by the lens of the camera, it is all my own fault!

I was still immersed in the emotion of regret, and I didn't realize that Shen Qinjun had stopped the car, and took my hand, "Get out of the car."

"You, you don't want to do anything to me." I looked out the window at the dark and empty parking lot, and my tongue started to tie.

With a cold face, he looked me up and down, and sneered: "Just you? What do you think I want to do to you?"

He dragged me out of the car, pressed the elevator button hard, then raised his head slightly, looked at the constantly beating numbers, and said nothing.

It wasn't until I stood at the door on the twelfth floor that I realized that something was wrong.

"You live here?" Curiosity overwhelmed anger and fear, and I turned my head to look at Shen Qinjun who was opening the door.

He opened the door and motioned for me to go in.

"You, you live in such a small bachelor apartment?" I was a little dumbfounded.

The house is not big, forty square meters at most, but it has all internal organs, and there is even a small dressing room separated from the bedroom.The main color used for the decoration is beige, and when the lights are turned on, it is very warm.

"I'll live here for you." He said coldly, "Didn't you promise me to come and stay for a few days now and then?"

I still stood there blankly, as if I couldn't understand what he was saying, I just said dumbly: "But this is not your home."

He ignored me, went straight to the balcony, opened the window, pointed to the towering building outside and said, "It's also convenient to work here."

Naturally, I recognized that it was Roewe's office building, and my heart skipped a beat: "The housing here is so expensive, I can't afford it."

"Who asked you to pay?" Shen Qinjun's face was sunk in half-light, his attitude was still bad, "This is what the old man meant, and it's your birthday present."

"Then I'll talk to Grandpa myself." I was silent for a moment, then reached into my pocket for my phone.

"Bai Xi, why are you so stubborn?" Shen Qinjuan turned sideways, and I could finally clearly see his entire face, including his straight nose, thin lips, and the expression in his dark eyes. There was a trace of stiffness, "Grandpa has already gone to bed at this point."

I put the phone back and heard him soften his tone a bit: "It's only a 5-minute walk to work here, so you don't have to squeeze the bus or hail a taxi. Aren't you motion sick—"

I raised my eyebrows, and he probably realized that something was wrong, so he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"How do you know?" I suppressed my fast beating heart and looked at him in disbelief.

I have always had an extreme loathing for cars.Needless to say, the long-distance ones, the last time I was on a business trip, I was trapped there because I was beaten to death and refused to take a long-distance bus. If Shen Qinjun hadn't forced me later, I would not have agreed to take the overnight bus.The short trips in the city are better, but I am also afraid of the bus that stops and waits, and I will turn pale along the way, as if I have seen a ghost.

Speaking of the symptoms of motion sickness, I didn't vomit, but felt flustered and dizzy, as if I would pass out in the next second, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

In the past, others comforted me and said, "It will be fine if you just sit down more." Seeing classmates and friends around me who have the same symptoms as me, one after another, "Just sit down and it will be fine." He remained calm, but after getting out of the car, it took him a long time to recover.

Of course, after working, I hid this problem very well. After all, in modern society, if I get motion sickness again, I will be no different from a disabled person.

——Except for that time, in Shen Qinjun's car, he really lost control.But even that time, I didn't mention my delicate problem much.

"I saw you get out of the car at work one time, with a ghostly face." He avoided my eyes and said lightly.

"That's because of lack of sleep, and it has nothing to do with taking the bus." I insisted.

"Okay." He was probably too lazy to quarrel with me, so he threw a string of shiny things at me, "You can stay here."

I subconsciously reached out to take it, and the tentacles were cold.

It was actually two keys that jingled.

I stood there, recalling this night of ups and downs in a trance, from waiting in the heavy snow, to the warm cafe, to that strong kiss, and this small apartment, suddenly felt so long, as if the person in front of me His attitude towards me was hot and cold, making it difficult for people to see which ones were sincere and which ones were false.

"Mr. Shen, your attitude towards me seems to be too kind." I said after deliberation, "I will misunderstand you."

His side face was clear and handsome, the brows raised slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Misunderstanding?"

"I misunderstood that you want to step on two boats with one foot." I said calmly, and threw the key back to him with a wave of my hand, "Stop doing this, I can't bear it."

Before he could react, I quickly left here.The door behind me clicked and closed automatically. I stood in front of the elevator and looked at myself reflected in the clear mirror.I bought the coat at Uniqlo, and it was only 500 yuan after the discount. The dark blue color, which has always been conservative and ordinary, made my complexion particularly dark and pale tonight.I stared blankly, suddenly feeling a little wronged in my heart.

Friends around me celebrate their birthdays, and most of them have a lively meal together, and then turn to the "cash drawer" to howl all night.I don't pursue much, which is pretty good.But it happened to such a dismal end that he had to take a taxi home at night.

Shen Qinjun didn't chase him out any more. I sat in the back seat of the taxi, looking at the flashing street lights outside the window with some ecstasy, connecting them into meaningless curved lights, and turning them into faces I knew or didn't know.

His attitude towards me tonight is really weird. I can't say what it is for, and I don't want to think about it any more. I just want to go back to my bed and have a deep sleep.
