118. Kneel down in public and beg for forgiveness【7】
"I said thank you." Sheng Xin repeated, with dried tears still on her pretty face, "Today...thank you..."
"I thought you were talking about something!" Zong Zhenglie curled his lips and said matter-of-factly, "Of course my own woman wants me to protect her! How about this? If you are grateful to me, how about you pledge yourself to her?
"
"..." Sheng Xin was speechless again, lowering his head and concentrating on drinking porridge.
She suddenly thought of a sentence: A dog cannot spit out ivory from its mouth.
It's not that Zong Zhenglie's words are unpleasant, it's just that she resents the way he can sway every time he talks.
"By the way, are you going to work tomorrow?" Zong Zhenglie didn't want the atmosphere to be awkward, so he started to find topics casually.
Sheng Xin nodded, "I'm not a child anymore. I can't let personal matters affect my work."
"That's good." Zong Zhenglie grinned, "That proves that you don't love my brother to the point of losing your mind, so I still have a chance!"
"..." What the hell kind of logic is this?
"Sheng Xin, you can go to bed as soon as you finish eating!"
"What about you?" She was more concerned about this issue now.
"I'll sit on your sofa! You won't have to be alone in this room, which will be so gloomy."
Sheng Xin frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
She looked at it, this house wasn't scary, it would be really scary if he were allowed to stay.
"Why are you looking like this! I won't force you!"
"How many times have you forced yourself to do so?" Sheng Xin said abruptly, causing Zong Zhenglie to shut up immediately.
She lowered her head and finished the porridge attentively, then threw the box into the trash can. She raised her head and said to Zong Zhenglie, "I really want to fall asleep, otherwise I won't be able to go to work tomorrow. You can go back."
"No, I can't let you stay here by yourself! What if my brother comes?"
He could escape from Zong Zheng's house, and Zong Zhengchen might not be able to do the same.
"I asked you two to let me go, okay?" Sheng Xin suddenly lost his patience, "You can stay here if you want, but don't even try to enter my room, I will lock it."
After saying that, she turned back to the bedroom, and Zong Zhenglie heard the sound of the door being locked.
He curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "This is a heartless woman! I won't sleep in my Simmons bed, so I came to stay with you, and yet you are so defensive about me!"
Making a face towards the door, he resigned himself to his fate and settled on the sofa.
"Damn, the sofa is so small!"
"Damn, there are no good programs on this crappy TV!"
"There's not even a quilt! How can I sleep!"
"Well, luckily there is a small quilt..."
*********
Inevitably, Sheng Xin stared at two dark circles when she woke up in the morning.
But yesterday I unexpectedly fell asleep.
She thought she must have difficulty falling asleep, and then she couldn't sleep all night or something.
When you open the bedroom door, the first thing you see is a pair of big feet.
Then there are Zong Zhengchen's slender legs, but they are curled up on the sofa at the moment, looking a little pitiful.
Sheng Xin suddenly felt unbearable and went back to the house to get a pair of quilts for him.
Although she doesn't like him, she is still grateful that he can appear by her side every time at critical moments.
Yesterday, she actually didn't want to admit that she was really afraid of this empty house.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chased him away last night.
