C18 Fear and Trepidation

Sheng Jianian's expression relaxed: "It's just eating, there's no need to act like you want to get on the guillotine."

Jiang Xi looked at him, "If you don't want to eat them, then why are you piling them all in my bowl?"

Sheng Jianian said: "Seeing you eat it, makes me feel really good. Have you finished eating? "

Surprisingly, Sheng Jianian's tone was not as tense and serious, as his entire body was wrapped up by a layer of gentleness.

Jiang Xi slowly nodded and stood up: "Let's go, I'll send you back to school."

Jiang Xi's mind was preoccupied with this matter, she slowly followed behind him, looking at the tall and sturdy man in front of him, she went back to her senses and became anxious.

Did he have a purpose?

Sheng Jianian had already paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant. The setting sun was red like blood as he stood majestically outside the door of the restaurant, waiting for Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi regained her senses and ran forward.

"President Sheng."

"Haven't you eaten your fill? "He's unwilling to leave." Sheng Jianian said half-jokingly.

His tone, could not even detect the hint of a joke, so Jiang Xi replied seriously, "No, I ate too much, I can't walk."

Sheng Jianian's dark and gloomy gaze landed on her face. Her exquisite face was painted with a layer of dazzling light by the blood-red sunset.

"Do you want to go to the beach?" Sheng Jianian asked her.

Jiang Xi was startled: "Seaside? "Now?"

His large eyes were filled with surprise. "We should have been to the seaside for over an hour now, right?"

The school had a bus that went straight to Zhongshan Road, and only after two hours of being stuck in a traffic jam could they get by.

Sheng Jianian frowned: "You don't have a class tonight, and you don't even have time to walk around?"

Jiang Xi opened her mouth, "Eh …"

"If there's nothing else, then get in the car." Sheng Jianian said.

He grabbed her wrist with his warm, dry palm and pulled her into the car.

When Jiang Xi reacted, her face was as red as the red clouds in the sky. After getting on the car, he released her, and she subconsciously stuck close to the window.

"I want to go back to school more. I came out today because I wanted to find something to do. If you don't have anything to do, go back and read some books to learn English. " Jiang Xi lowered her head and said.

Whose success is easy?

If you don't put in more effort than ordinary people, why would you be the one to be the final winner?

After Jiang Xi said that, she turned and looked at Sheng Jianian: "My family is in a slightly worse condition than normal, I need to earn my own living expenses and school fees. You asked me if I was short on money twice, let me tell you, yes, I am really short on money. Almost all the time I could spare, I used it all to earn money. President Sheng, my situation surprised you, right? "So, you saw me selling condoms out of bars, and you saw me at a cocktail party as a vase, and that's the right way to start."

After she finished speaking, she laughed at herself.

She looked at Sheng Jianian with a face full of smiles.

"So, President Sheng, thank you for your kind intentions. The kind of romance where you drive a car to the seaside for more than an hour just to stroll with the wind is not mine. I'm sorry President Sheng, I can't accompany you regarding your romance, please understand. "

Sheng Jianian's eyes darkened slightly. After being silent for a long while, he said: "There are countless possibilities in life. Lifestyle that used to be far away from you might as well try to accept it. Maybe it's not so bad either. "

Jiang Xi laughed, and said in a low voice: "I accept your good intentions, but can you also take care of my self-esteem?"

The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more stiff, Jiang Xi lowered her head, and could tell that Sheng Jianian was looking at her.

"Pride..." Did my method hurt you? " Sheng Jianian asked in a low voice.

Jiang Xi bit her lips, wanted to say something, but hesitated and shook her head.

Sheng Jianian said: "I treat you sincerely, how could I make you feel uncomfortable? If you want to speak the truth for others, first you have to speak the truth for yourself. "

Jiang Xi laughed, and looked up: "I've said what I wanted to say earlier. It's that I don't want to go to the seaside. I want to go back and memorize a few words, listen to some foreign language lessons and listen to a few English songs. I didn't earn any money when I came out today. I have to fill up my Spiritual World so as to not live up to the miserable state of 'not getting anything at all' today. "

Sheng Jianian could not help but ask, "Are you really that short on money?"

Jiang Xi laughed, and nodded: "My parents, I am already old, and they have their responsibilities."

She smiled, she could not care less about the situation, under such circumstances, with Xu Family coming out to mess her up, she was truly too tired to deal with it.

Sheng Jianian nodded: "I understand your difficulty, and I appreciate your independent strength. But don't lock yourself up too tight and open your heart to the good intentions of others. You are twenty years old, and those close to you are the good guys and the bad guys. I won't hurt you, and I don't have any intention of getting close to you. If I say it like this, can you let down your guard? "

Jiang Xi frowned, then looked ahead: "What virtue do I have to be able to do that?"

"Some people are just so lucky to have met a noble in this life." Sheng Jianian replied indifferently.

Jiang Xi turned her head to look at him. The serious and stern expression on his face had actually been melted by the sunset, and she saw a trace of smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, then I'm the lucky one."

Jiang Xi suddenly let out a relaxed laugh, "Me, I'm actually quite conflicted. While accepting your good intentions, I kept warning me that this is a trap, a wolf trap. "

She turned her head and looked at him with the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Actually, I don't usually feel so conflicted or conflicted. It's just that your actions today have really surprised me. I've lived for twenty years and am basically on par with 'Lucky'. For such a good thing to land on my head, I cannot be blamed for feeling fear and trepidation. "

Sheng Jianian's dark face didn't soften just because of her relaxed tone. He could see the struggle she had after trying so hard to smile.

"I'll take you back to school." Sheng Jianian said.

Jiang Xi nodded. "Thank you, President Sheng, for your blessings and bountiful harvest today."

"Go back and think about what I have said. Don't reject me again, I don't like being rejected." Sheng Jianian said in a low voice.

"Oh …" Jiang Xi's heart instantly tensed up.

Sheng Jianian drove for around ten minutes before he finally saw the outline of the school.

Jiang Xi quickly said: "President Sheng, you can just put me down by the roadside, I will walk back myself."

Sheng Jianian's face instantly fell, "Are you that ashamed and ashamed?"

In that moment, Jiang Xi felt as if her brain had been struck by a rod, she looked at Sheng Jianian with her mouth agape.

"Sheng, President Sheng, you … Is it a misunderstanding? That's not what I meant. "

Sheng Jianian did not bother with her request, and immediately stopped his car in front of the school gate.

Jiang Xi was so distressed that she covered her face and sighed.

After that, he took a deep breath, and with an expression that was not considered ugly, he expressed his gratitude to Sheng Jianian: "No matter what, thank you for bringing me along today. Thank you.

"What if it's to give you a chance to study in the imperial court?" Sheng Jianian asked coldly.

After Jiang Xi heard this, she retracted her hand that was already placed on the handle of the door. Her heart raced as she turned her head back, carefully and cautiously looking at Yun Che.
