Ana Shen's hands were shaking as he tucked Duan Duan into bed.
It was an uncontrollable slight tremor.
He was afraid that his unruly hand would accidentally wake Duanduan, so he quickly took his hand back, then got up and walked to the terrace to calm down.
The night wind blew slowly, and Ana Shen became more awake. There was a notification tone from the mobile phone in his pocket. He took it out and looked at it. It was from A Cong.
[Brother Chen, the milk is hot.]
After reading WeChat, Ana Shen remembered that after carrying Duan Duan into the bathroom, he sent A Cong a WeChat message of hot milk, but he forgot about it after washing up.
Shen Yanchen typed a reply: [Duan Duan has fallen asleep, I will come down later.]
After replying to the message, Ana Shen came in from the terrace.
Afraid of being chilled by the night wind, he quietly closed the patio door. Walking to the bedside, he readjusted the brightness of the bedside lamp and then left the bedroom with confidence.
Arrived downstairs.
Ah Cong observed his words and looked carefully at Brother Chen's face, which looked much better than before he went upstairs. He finally felt at ease and pointed to the bar: "Brother Chen, the milk is here."
"Um."
Shen Yanchen came over, picked up a cup and handed it to Ah Cong who was standing next to him: "Duan Duan is already asleep, you can drink this cup."
"Oh, okay." Ah Cong reached out to take it, raised his head and drank.
Ana Shen took his glass of milk, held the cup, leaned against the bar, rested his elbows casually, and asked, "Do you think Jiang Zhen might like me?"
"puff"
Ah Cong almost sprayed the milk in his mouth onto Ana Shen.
Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time to avoid disaster!
Ana Shen frowned and said displeased: "Is it funny?"
"No, no, no, no, no!" Ah Cong's weather-beaten heart almost stopped beating. He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and quickly explained: "Brother Chen, I just feel that it's too unexpected."
Ana Shen's sharp eyes shot over: "So from your point of view, there is almost no possibility that Jiang Zhen likes me?"
A Cong could clearly feel that Ana Shen was angry.
He also understood that his reaction just now was the trigger that made Ana Shen angry.
But he thought that even if it happened again, he would still show the same shocked and gloomy reaction as before.
However, A Cong had been with Shen Yanchen for many years, and his mentality quickly calmed down. He thought about it carefully, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Brother Chen, let me tell you the truth, considering how you and Jiang Jiang have not dealt with each other these years. Relationship, the possibility that Jiang Jiang likes you...is really very small."
Ana Shen's face turned dark.
Ah Cong quickly added: "But we don't rule out the possibility."
Ana Shen's gloomy expression did not improve. He looked at A Cong: "Is this what you mean?"
Ah Cong nodded honestly: "Yes, from the perspective of a bystander who has been by your side for so many years, Brother Chen, the possibility is indeed very small, but it does not rule out the possibility."
In fact, Ah Cong felt that there was no need to say the next sentence.
I said it just to make Brother Chen feel better.
However, Ana Shen did not feel any better and was extremely disappointed: "She doesn't like me..."
Ah Cong comforted him: "Brother Chen, be more open-minded. You are still young and have a long way to go. You will definitely meet a girl who is more suitable for you."
Ana Shen said to himself: "If I don't argue with her and let her go, will she like me..."
Ah Cong didn't answer.
"That's not right-" Shen Yanchen suddenly looked at Ah Cong.
Ah Cong's heart tightened and he didn't know why: "What's wrong, Brother Chen?"
Ana Shen asked: "Children can't lie, right?"
"That's not necessarily true." Ah Cong still told the truth, "Children also like to lie. It's hard to define."
Ana Shen asked again: "Then do you think Duanduan is a lying child?"
Ah Cong shook his head subconsciously: "I don't think Duanduan is a child who can lie."
Looking back on that day, just because I couldn't stand firm when I got off the car, I would immediately apologize to adults, thinking it was my fault.
How could such a pitiful and distressed little girl with such low self-esteem lie?
Just when Ah Cong was thinking this, he heard Ana Shen say: "Today in the parent-child space, Jiang Zhen said he liked me."
Ah Cong looked stunned: "Brother Chen, did you hear it with your own ears?"
Shen Yanchen said word for word: "That's what Duanduan said."
Ah Cong suddenly fell silent.
It is a false proposition that children cannot lie, and it is also a wrong definition. But it is inevitable that Duanduan cannot lie, and A Cong will not even question it.
Seeing Ah Cong's reaction, Shen Yanchen asked, "What do you think now?"
"I think..." Ah Cong thought for a moment and replied, "Are you happy enemies?"
The corners of Ana Shen's lips rose: "Actually, I can't feel whether Jiang Jiang likes me or not. Maybe she just has a little liking for me. Under Duanduan's understanding, it means she likes me."
Acong was slightly worried: "Then...?"
"I have decided." Shen Yanchen's mood improved, and there was finally a smile on his face: "I have decided not to quarrel with her in the future. I will treat her well and will not hide it anymore. I can't All the goodwill she had for me has been wiped out."
Ah Cong raised his hands in agreement: "Brother Chen, you should have been like this a long time ago. If you keep doing what you did before, you will really only push Jiang Jiang further and further away."
These words were a reminder, and of course Ana Shen would listen.
The feeling of being suddenly enlightened is different, and the whole body feels lighter.
Shen Yanchen signaled A Cong to go to the guest room to sleep. He drank the milk and planned to wait until Jiang Zhen came back.
-
Time ticks by.
It was half past twelve in a blink of an eye.
Ana Shen was sitting on the sofa in the living room and was drowsily asleep. He vaguely heard the sound of the car's engine. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in shock.
He knew Jiang Zhen must be back!
Ana Shen quickly got up and went out. Before he could reach the door, he saw a silver Maybach parked outside, with Jiang Zhen sitting in the passenger seat and a young man in the driver's seat.
Jiang Zhen didn't get out of the car immediately. He sat in the car talking and laughing with the man.
Ana Shen gritted his sore back molars and stood there waiting patiently. After waiting for about three or four minutes, he finally waited until Jiang Zhen opened the door and got out of the car.
The man also got out of the car. He walked up to Jiang Zhen and didn't know what he said. Jiang Zhen suddenly acted coquettishly. Seeing this scene, Ana Shen clenched his fists.
I really want to punch that man.
Why smile? Your teeth are white, right?
The man turned around and returned to the car. Jiang Zhen waved to the people in the car. It wasn't until the car turned around and drove away that Jiang Zhen turned around and entered the villa.
She walked to the door and entered the password, and the small door on the side of the door slowly opened.
She was in a good mood and did not see Ana Shen standing in the corner. After closing the small door, she hummed a tune softly and walked in with light steps, shaking the bag in her hand.
