Chapter 225 Why did you get yourself into this state again?
Xiao Yi was throwing two cans around in his hands, and then he staggered into the rooftop of a small attic that was under half-renovation.
Shen Manzhi was hunched over the open-air pool washing her face, her hair wet and hanging down in front of her forehead, with water droplets sliding down her eyebrows. She wiped it off casually, took the can thrown to her by Xiao Yi, held the can in one hand, and picked it open with her index finger.
"Why do you have an alarm on your car?"
Xiao Yi curled up in the single chair on the other side, sat there carelessly, and took a few sips of soda. "I said I was prepared to save you. Do you believe me?"
Shen Manzhi looked at him coldly.
Xiao Yi pouted in annoyance, "It's so chaotic here. I just bought this shop and people always come to cause trouble. My buddy gave me this thing and told me to raise the alarm if I encounter someone I can't beat... Now it's come in handy!"
Shen Manzhi sat on the stone slab under the awning with one leg hanging down, his hand stroking his abdomen, "You know this place is a mess, why are you still hanging around outside in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Yi raised his chin to signal her to look at the scene around the rooftop, "It's under renovation. It happened to rain when I left, so I stayed for a while."
Only then did Shen Manzhi have time to look around this place.
The small plot of land was created with a single outdoor lamp and the night sky to create a hazy atmosphere. Half of the land was occupied by an awning, with tables, stools and chairs scattered around. The potted plants by the pool were randomly placed and growing wildly. The only tidy place was the signboard with the words "招财" written on it at the door, which was decorated with small colored lights.
"To attract wealth?" She asked in a slightly raised tone, "What are you going to do with such a small place?"
Xiao Yi almost stood up to refute, "This is just the terrace, I have two floors upstairs and downstairs!"
After saying that, he drank all the soda, clenched his fist, reached out and threw the can. With a "clang", the can hit the empty potted plant by the wall.
He raised his eyebrows at Shen Manzhi, "Isn't it amazing!"
Refresh the impression of him in the hunting ground, and prove to her that he has some skills.
"..."
Shen Manzhi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He tilted his head back and took a sip of iced soda, which tasted like grapes.
She caught a glimpse of the eye-catching cream-gold hair and her eyes flickered. If it weren't for his cream-gold hair, she would not have made such a boring bet with this guy to "call me sister".
"Why do you dye your hair this color?"
Xiao Yi looked unnatural for a moment, then sighed, "Sister, why do you have so many whys?"
"..."
Shen Manzhi stretched out his hand and walked out of the awning. The rain was getting heavier.
Xiao Yi stared at her. "Then what are you doing here so late? This is the old city area, and those people don't look like hooligans here. How did you provoke them?"
Shen Manzhi looked over coldly, "Curious?"
Xiao Yi shut up, remembering the last time he saw her skills in the hunting ground, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of her. He wasn't really afraid, but... he just felt that she would hit people.
So he shook his head wisely, "I dare not."
He watched Shen Manzhi take out his phone and ignore him. He felt itchy inside and crossed his legs and shook them. "Actually, I dyed it this color because it looks good..."
"What happened..."
Xiao Yi heard her mumbling, "Hmm? What happened?"
Shen Manzhi stood up, untied the coat that was originally tied around her waist and put it on. In order to facilitate the fight, her skirt was torn into a section that only reached her knees.
"I have to go back."
Xiao Yi also stood up. He knew what was going on when he heard the crackling sound on the awning. "It's raining so hard. How are you going to walk?"
Shen Manzhi didn't respond, but quickened his pace and walked down the stairs.
Xiao Yi followed her and said, "It's hard to get a taxi here. It's late at night and it's raining. The drivers won't come in."
Shen Manzhi stood at the door and turned to look behind him, "Why, do you really want to send me off?"
"Ok?"
Xiao Yi turned his head away and said, "You wish. I just sent you there in a hurry."
"I don't want to either."
When Shen Manzhi was first brought here by him, he saw a motorcycle parked next to him when he parked the car.
"Lend me your car for a while."
Xiao Yi was shocked, "You can also drive a motorcycle?"
Shen Manzhi checked the time, then looked up at him and said, "I can also drive a tractor."
Xiao Yi felt like he was being given a cold look again, so he threw the key to her and whispered, "You have to pay for it if you break it..."
Shen Manzhi walked out the door, turned back to look at his golden hair, and finally moved his gaze to his baby face, "Thank you for what happened tonight, I'll return the favor another day."
Xiao Yi watched her walk to the curtain next door, straddle the motorcycle with her slender legs, put on the helmet skillfully, start the engine, roar, lower her body and rush out.
"Be safe, hey!"
Xiao Yi realized later that she didn't hear him, so he snorted and stepped back, touching his milky golden hair, staring in the direction where Shen Manzhi left, slightly lost in thought.
"I thought you wouldn't say thank you..."
In fact, dyeing this color is not just because it looks good.
------
The rain in autumn is usually continuous, bringing both dampness and coolness.
Shen Manzhi arrived at Jingwei on her motorcycle ten minutes earlier than expected. She returned to her room on the fifth floor without stopping from the parking lot to change her soaked clothes.
She was used to keeping the phone on silent when doing things, and she didn't have any obsession with her phone, so she usually didn't stare at it all the time. In addition, there were a lot of things going on tonight, so when she was chatting with Xiao Yi, she took out her phone and saw two missed calls from Qin Yanfeng and a message asking her where she had been.
The first call should have been when she just arrived at the Internet cafe. Later, she glanced at it when she was taking a taxi and didn’t have time to reply. The second call was when they were fighting.
Shen Manzhi replied that he was in the end of Beijing, and just hurried back. He had just changed his clothes and was wiping his head with a towel when there was a knock on the door.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Apart from her pale face from being outside for so long, there was nothing wrong with her, so she went to open the door.
Qin Yanfeng was standing outside the door wearing a thin shirt. A few strands of his hair were wet and hung between his brows. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and the cold white skin of his neck added a bit of sharp temperament.
The light from the top of the corridor prevented Shen Manzhi from seeing the look in his eyes, and in a trance he felt an imperceptible grievance.
My heart suddenly tightened for some reason, an emotion I had never experienced before.
She was just thinking about how to explain why she suddenly left the old house when the person in front of her walked in, closed the door, grabbed her in his arms, put his arms around her waist, and lowered his head to kiss her.
The towel on his head fell to the ground.
Shen Manzhi opened his eyes slightly, and subconsciously wanted to push away, but then he was thinking something else. He raised his hand and gently placed it on Qin Yanfeng's arm, and endured the deep kiss with his body somewhat stiff.
Qin Yanfeng left her lips, but he didn't take his hands off her waist, but loosened his grip a little. Due to the height difference, Shen Manzhi was pressed down in his arms and could only look up at him slightly.
"Feel sorry……"
"Why did you get yourself into this state again..."
The two people's voices overlapped, and Shen Manzhi swallowed back the words he wanted to lie about.
Shen Manzhi was certain that she had not revealed any flaws from the fight. Either this man was trying to scare her, or he had someone else follow her.
Qin Yanfeng seemed to know what she was thinking, and he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth again, "Grape flavor."
Shen Manzhi was slightly stunned. She never expected that he would kiss her!
"I didn't take a shower, but my hair is so wet."
He seemed to be pointing out her flaws one by one, and tapped her waist with his fingers, causing Shen Manzhi to lower her eyes and endure the discomfort to avoid his gaze.
Qin Yanfeng whispered almost like a sigh, "How are you going to deceive me again?"
Shen Manzhi felt relieved for a moment, looked up at him, and all the words he had prepared were lost. He just said instinctively, "Do you really have to know?"
Qin Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled and he let go of her hand. He didn't continue asking questions. He just leaned against the door and looked at her quietly in a low and hoarse voice.
"Grandpa said that he talked to you about the Ji family. I thought you left without saying goodbye because you were afraid that it would affect my work and make it difficult to make a decision because they asked you to be tolerant and considerate of the injustice you suffered."
His eyes were so light that the words he spoke were light, like a fragile item placed in front of Shen Manzhi. He wanted her to see it, but was afraid that she would push it away easily.
"I didn't expect you to leave in such a hurry because of something urgent. You didn't even have time to tell me."
"Shen Manzhi," he called her name, leaning against the door and looking at her with his eyes half down, his tone and expression indifferent, "Am I an insignificant person?"
Shen Manzhi was so humiliated by his accusations that he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
She was a harsh mouth and it was rare for her not to add fuel to the fire at this time.
If she couldn't see Qin Yanfeng's sadness, she would be such a scumbag.
So she moved a little closer, not touching him or teasing him, but just looking at him calmly.
"What if I don't leave and Grandpa uses me to force you to apologize?"
The old man saw through his grandson's feelings for Shen Manzhi. As long as he could persuade her to tolerate what had happened before and even what would happen in the future, he would use her to persuade Qin Yanfeng to apologize.
If she had no feelings for Qin Yanfeng, she would just think that this matter had nothing to do with her, but now she didn't want to tolerate it, nor did she want Qin Yanfeng to apologize. It was Ji Siqing who came up to him, so why should the person who was scammed apologize?
Qin Yanfeng barely hesitated for a moment, "Don't listen to them. I won't go either."
Shen Manzhi smiled and said, "I know that with my personality, it is impossible for me to tolerate such a thing, so I pretended to be wronged and left angrily, so that they would give up this idea."
Qin Yanfeng looked at her deeply. No matter what, he would not apologize. The old man was worried about losing the Ji family, a high branch, but in his plan, the benefits brought by the Ji family were insignificant.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Shen Manzhi knew that the explanation was in place, so he leaned over and kissed his chin, "I won't do it next time."
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the other thing Shen Manzhi was going to do. Shen Manzhi also thought that he would not ask, so she was just carried into the bathroom and Qin Yanfeng put her on the sink.
While kissing her, he lifted a corner of her clothes.
Shen Manzhi stretched out his hand to stop him.
Qin Yanfeng stood between her legs, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Let me see."
She pushed his hand away as she dodged the kiss, "It's nothing serious."
But the pair of big hands stayed on her lower back without any objection. Shen Manzhi suddenly felt a numbness in her ear bones, and the tenderness spread from the brain nerves to the coccyx.
Because Qin Yanfeng called her a very intimate name in her ear.
hateful!
Then the resisting hands were pulled away, and the clothes were lifted up, revealing the woman's white and narrow waist in the mirror, with purple and red scars running from the back to the waist and abdomen.
Shen Manzhi only felt that the person in front of him was breathing heavier, and his slightly cold fingertips were sticking to the edge of the wound, reluctant to let go.
She leaned against Qin Yanfeng and smelled the faint scent of camellia. She blinked and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay."
The character who points the way to Xiao Yi appears in Chapter 206. His milky blond hair is a foreshadowing.
