It was as if he was asking her why she didn’t speak on New Year’s Eve.

It was as if he was asking her why she was just staring at him without speaking at this moment.

Zhu Yiyi couldn’t help but lean back, still immersed in the surprise of his sudden appearance, she was stunned for a while, moving her lips and murmuring: “What…”

As if she was a little scared by this He Shen.

Fierce.

She didn’t like this fierce He Shen.

She liked the gentle, gentlemanly him.

These two sentences Zhu Yiyi often said when she was in love, He Shen had already engraved them in his mind.

Seeing the little girl’s slightly shrinking body, his outgoing reason quickly returned, he raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, put on his gentleman’s coat again, his face pale, and said faintly: “Nothing.”

Then he sat down naturally beside Zhu Yiyi as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Yiyi froze.

Li Jiu next to her was still enthusiastic, she smiled and poked her head out: “You are He Shen, right? I am Zhi Shu’s fiancée, Li Jiu.”

He Shen nodded: “Hello.”

“Zhi Shu told me that you are high school classmates and have a very good relationship. Tell me, is Xu Zhi Shu naughty in high school, does he like to provoke other girls?” Li Jiu puffed up her cheeks, pretending to beat people if she didn’t get a satisfactory answer.

Xu Zhi Shu was helpless: “Wife…”

There were a circle of people sitting at the table, including Li Jiu’s junior high and high school classmates, who laughed when they heard this: “Li Jiu, you are still as fierce as before.”

“Go away!”

The dinner table was filled with lively chat, back and forth.

Only Zhu Yiyi was looking down, silently drinking water, not participating in the conversation at all.

She also forcibly ignored the occasional glances from the side.

It wasn’t until they started eating that her tense body relaxed.

From morning to now, Zhu Yiyi had only had a bowl of egg drop porridge and a baked sweet potato, and her stomach started to growl not long after she entered the private room.

The exquisite dishes on the table made people’s appetites increase.

She reached out and picked up a piece of shrimp paste, it was soft, tender and fragrant, and there was a pot of crucian carp tofu soup in front of her, she was afraid of the fishy smell, so she only tentatively scooped up half a spoonful.

The taste was fresh and delicious, it tasted very similar to the taste she had when she drank it in her grandma’s pot when she was a child.

Zhu Yiyi missed this taste, but before she could reach out to serve the soup, the pot of crucian carp tofu soup was already transferred to another position, she was short and slightly socially anxious, and she couldn’t reach it.

“…”

She could only give up regretfully.

She picked up a piece of green vegetable and ate it without appetite.

After chewing a few mouthfuls, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her.

The man’s cuff was rolled up, revealing a cold white forearm, his bony hand grasped the rotating tray of the dining table, and with a gentle turn, the crucian carp tofu soup turned back.

It stopped right next to Zhu Yiyi’s hand.

She was stunned, and she glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

He Shen’s face was as usual as he drank the soup, his movements were slow and deliberate, as if it was just an unintentional act.

What reason did her ex-boyfriend have to take care of his ex-girlfriend all the time.

Coincidence…

She rubbed her fingers slightly, her eyes occasionally stealing glances at the soup, like a cat that wanted to steal fish but was afraid of being discovered, she waited for a while, and finally couldn’t resist the temptation, Zhu Yiyi reached out to serve herself a spoonful.

At this time, He Shen was tilting his head to listen to the people next to him talking, his eyes didn’t even glance in her direction.

Zhu Yiyi quickly served herself a full bowl.

When she bit into the smooth tofu, she couldn’t help but squint her eyes in satisfaction, like a happy puppy wagging its tail.

He Shen’s expression was cold.

No one knew that the corners of his lips were soft.

After dinner, a few people who were good at livening up the atmosphere suggested going to KTV, Xu Zhi Shu said that there was an entertainment club on the top floor of the restaurant, and a group of people swayed up on the sightseeing elevator.

There were many people, so they had to be divided into several groups.

Zhu Yiyi and Li Jiu were the last ones.

Li Jiu pulled her secretly: “Why didn’t you talk to him just now, such a good opportunity?”

“?”

“For a man like He Shen who is indifferent to the world, you have to be proactive.”

“?”

Zhu Yiyi hesitated.

He’s also indifferent to the world?

When they first started dating, Zhu Yiyi also saw He Shen this way——

He was unmoved by anything, a sexless person, even if she stood naked in front of him, he would smile and say it was cold and he had a cold, that kind of fool.

He was more upright than a flagpole!

Until that night.

He Shen, who had returned from a business trip abroad, rarely got slightly drunk during a social gathering, the fire in his eyes when he looked at her, his fingers slowly, carefully, and repeatedly rubbing and playing with her collarbone. That kind of out-of-control He Shen, Zhu Yiyi was fascinated by him, he deliberately restrained himself, but she couldn’t hold back, and hooked him first.

Then it got out of hand.

Zhu Yiyi finally understood the saying “all men are the same in bed”, no matter how cold and frosty a person is, once they enter the sea of desire, they will taste the sweetness.

He Shen without glasses was like a gentleman tearing off the last layer of disguise, their most intense time was even like they were going to do it to death.

Zhu Yiyi was both painful and enjoyable, she would never forget it in her life.

There were already people singing in the private room, one moment it was sweet love songs, and the next moment it was upbeat and explosive American dance music, the atmosphere heated up in no time.

The music stopped after a while.

I don’t know who said: “It’s a bit dry without any games to play.”

“What, you want to team up and play games at a gathering?”

“It’s not impossible.”

“Go away.”

“If you want to play, play something exciting.”

“Have some fun hahaha…”

Zhu Yiyi was eating strawberries next to her, she ate one that was too cold and hurt her teeth, so she didn’t eat anymore. She was about to take out her phone to check the time when her arm was hooked by Li Jiu, “What are you doing sitting here, come on, they are going to play games.”

“What game are you playing?”

“They said it’s truth or dare, to have some fun.”

“What kind of fun can you have with that.”

Zhu Yiyi was dragged in by Li Jiu and squeezed into the sofa, pressed down on the sofa.

Because of the karmic relationship that always accurately bumped into He Shen, the first second she sat down, she looked for his figure.

He was sitting opposite her.

Zhu Yiyi let out a sigh of relief.

For this kind of collective game, Zhu Yiyi always had a weak sense of participation, she was responsible for muddling through and making up the numbers, whatever others said, she would just follow behind and hum in agreement.

The first round turned to Xu Zhi Shu.

The man who was still acting serious during the meal was laughing more happily than anyone else when he started playing: “I hope this round will turn to…”

He paused, and everyone else gasped along with him.

“Who will it turn to?” someone asked.

Xu Zhi Shu smiled: “He Shen.”

The man who was suddenly named was a little surprised, he raised an eyebrow, “Me?”

“Although we haven’t seen each other for a long time after graduating from high school, I can’t help but be curious about some things, you were chased by girls one after another in high school, and it was probably the same after graduation.”

Xu Zhi Shu only said half of what he wanted to say, but he had already revealed the general meaning.

Gossip about He Shen’s love life.

No one would be curious about the private life of such a man with cold and sharp features and a gentlemanly temperament.

For example, whether he had dated or played around.

One or several.

Single or multiple.

Human nature is to dig into things that seem extremely clean.

Xu Zhi Shu slid the turntable.

The numbers on the turntable spun at high speed, and it didn’t slow down until after ten seconds, and when the numbers slowly stopped at the number plate in front of He Shen, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

No one expected it to come true.

Before Xu Zhi Shu could speak, Li Jiu was even more excited: “Ah ah ah, it turned to him, come on, husband, you ask quickly.”

Xu Zhi Shu pinched Li Jiu’s face affectionately, and smiled at He Shen: “Sorry, brother, my luck is too good today, I got it on the first try.”

“Come on, choose one, truth or dare.”

He Shen leaned back in the sofa in a relaxed posture, shook his glass, glanced unintentionally at Zhu Yiyi opposite, and then moved away without a trace, he said calmly: “Truth.”

Zhu Yiyi’s face was flushed by his glance, she lowered her head.

But her ears were more sensitive than ever, the sound of voices, the sound of fabric rubbing, even the soft “clink” of the glass on the table, were all magnified infinitely in her ears.

She listened as Xu Zhi Shu said: “Then I won’t be polite?”

“Hmm.”

The man’s voice was faint and calm.

Xu Zhi Shu slowed down his speech, and everyone else’s attention gradually focused on him, “Have you been in love all these years?”

“I have.”

The answer was very straightforward.

In an instant, many people in the room started to make a fuss, Xu Zhi Shu looked surprised, as if he didn’t expect to hear this answer.

He Shen in high school was considered a legendary figure.

His family background was high, his grades were good, and his appearance, figure, temperament and upbringing were all top-notch.

Countless girls chased after him.

But he never paid any attention to any of them.

The most impressive time for Xu Zhi Shu was when a school beauty who was a year younger than them came up to He Shen with a blushing face to confess her feelings.

Such a pure and beautiful girl, no one would not be moved.

He Shen sat upright at that time and did his homework.

He didn’t move when he heard the girl’s confession, he calmly closed his textbook, put on his pen cap, and finished his own business before giving the girl his first glance.

He only said five words: “I don’t like you.”

The girl was a little embarrassed, her eyes were red, and she insisted: “We can try, I don’t believe you will never fall in love!”

“I will fall in love,” He Shen said in a gentle tone, but he said the most cruel and heartless words, “But I won’t fall in love with you.”

The rejection was straightforward and without any hesitation.

Later, during PE class, Xu Zhi Shu held a basketball and asked him: “Why didn’t you accept her?”

He Shen looked at him sideways, his furrowed brow had a hint of confusion: “Not suitable, why should I accept her?”

At that moment, Xu Zhi Shu was stunned.

At that time, he was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, impulsive and full of blood, whether he was in love or not, he just went for it if he liked it, and gave up if he didn’t like it.

No one was like He Shen.

He didn’t talk about liking, didn’t talk about feelings, didn’t talk about being moved, but rather whether it was suitable.

Later, he went abroad to study, and after growing up, Xu Zhi Shu realized that this was the gap between classes.

He Shen’s life was smooth sailing, like a pre-set program, studying, graduating, inheriting the He family, marrying into a wealthy family and having children.

There was no warm and accompanying family affection, nor would there be a love that lasted a lifetime, only interests.

So over the years, Xu Zhi Shu would occasionally be curious——

Whether a man like He Shen had a heart, whether he had the emotions that normal people should have.

Would he truly like someone.

The answer was heard today.

Xu Zhi Shu was still in a daze, Li Jiu started to ask impatiently: “What about now?”

He Shen smiled faintly: “That’s the second question.”

Li Jiu was anxious, her heart itched: “Just tell me!”

Silence for a few seconds.

He said: “We broke up.”

Two very light words, when they were swallowed, they seemed heavier than time.

Zhu Yiyi, who had been burying her head all along, reacted a little.

Her heart ached slightly.

The air became quiet in that second.

The few men who were making a fuss stopped smiling, they awkwardly scratched the back of their heads, and Xu Zhi Shu felt a little apologetic.

Only Li Jiu was excited, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth were stretched to her earlobes, she wished she could go up and cling to He Shen and say: We broke up, what a coincidence, my sister broke up too, I think you two are a good match, why don’t you two try dating?

Zhu Yiyi couldn’t help but pull her: “…”

Realizing that the atmosphere was strange, Xu Zhi Shu, as the host, was the first to change the subject, and the other few people also joked and made fun of each other.

A little episode was flipped over like that.

According to the order, the turntable qualification fell to Li Jiu.

She squinted her eyes, vowing to pry out the truth about Xu Zhi Shu through this truth or dare.

“Just wait and see!”

The turntable started to roll slowly.

Zhu Yiyi was still the one with the weakest presence, her two hands were on her knees, her posture was very well-behaved, she was boredly propping up her chin, playing with the number plates in front of her without much interest.

Suddenly, something flashed past her eyes.

She stopped her fingers that were playing with the numbers abruptly.

Then she looked over with an unbelievable expression, watching as Li Jiu’s spinning pointer gradually transitioned from the third to the fourth, fifth, sixth…

Finally, it pointed directly at her.

Zhu Yiyi: -_-

Li Jiu: 0_0

Xu Zhi Shu: ^-^

“Sorry, wife, you missed the mark.” Xu Zhi Shu was lucky to escape, he was in a particularly good mood, and he turned to Zhu Yiyi, “Do you choose truth or dare?”

Zhu Yiyi was still in disbelief, she didn’t speak.

Xu Zhi Shu thought she was in a daze, and he followed Li Jiu and called out her name: “Yiyi?”

He Shen’s hand that was tapping the glass stopped.

His brow furrowed, he swept a cold glance over, “It’s not your turn to spin the turntable, you don’t have the right to ask.”

Hearing the domineering tone in his words, Xu Zhi Shu was stunned.

It must be an illusion.

Before he could react, Li Jiu reluctantly pushed him away and asked Zhu Yiyi to choose truth or dare.

Her ex-boyfriend was right next to her, how dare Zhu Yiyi choose truth, she mumbled: “Da、dare.”

“Then you draw a dare card.”

Zhu Yiyi slowly drew a card, held her breath, flipped it over and took a look.

Hug the seventh person to your left.

Just a hug.

Most of the people at the gathering were girls, even if she drew a boy, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

She comforted herself.

Just not him.

Just not He Shen.

Li Jiu leaned over to take a look, and read aloud: “Hug the seventh person to your left…”

She read it while counting.

When she counted to the last one, her voice stopped abruptly.

Some absurd thoughts came to her mind, Zhu Yiyi trembled her eyelashes, and looked up.

At that moment, her heart stopped.

Why was it him.
