074: dead-skinned
"boom--"
The slamming of the door upstairs shook the entire villa.
Shang Yan looked in the direction of the stairs, pursed his lips, sighed silently, stood up and said, "Just put it away."
After that, he walked upstairs.
In front of the bedroom door, he reached out and turned the doorknob, but there was no response. It was locked from the inside.
"Xu Li, open the door." Shang Yan frowned and said in a deep voice.
But the response to him was still silence.
"Xu Li."
After waiting for a while, Shang Yan called out again, but there was still no response.
When Xu Li, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound of leaving footsteps coming from outside, she slowly stretched her head out from the quilt, curled her lips in the darkness, and the depression in her heart grew bigger and bigger.
She accepted that everyone misunderstood her, but only Shang Yan felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
Therefore, my temper suddenly came over and I became a little temperamental.
In the latter half of the night, Xu Li woke up from her hazy sleep, and her stomach growled twice.
Still sloppy.
No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't have trouble with your stomach.
In addition to eating at lunch, she didn't even eat afternoon tea in the afternoon because of the scandal, and she didn't even eat a grain of rice in the evening.
Her stomach couldn't bear it anymore.
It was dark at night, and the whole villa seemed quiet. When Xu Li came out of the room, the sensor light in the corridor automatically turned on. When she walked to the stairs, she subconsciously glanced at the study door at the end.
His eyes stayed there for more than ten seconds, then he calmly moved away and walked downstairs. He went straight to the kitchen and started rummaging through the food.
There are a lot of ingredients in the three refrigerators, all of which are organized in order, but there are not many that can be eaten immediately.
She flipped through it again and again, and finally saw a plate of Coke chicken wings and steamed ribs in the microwave, and her eyes lit up instantly.
Uncle Lin was still kind to her and knew how to leave things for her.
"hungry?"
She was lying on the work surface, watching the grilled wings and ribs rotating in the microwave oven, and her mood was gradually improving, when a chill suddenly came from behind her, and that cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"ah--"
She was so frightened that she screamed out. When she turned around and saw the handsome face so close behind her, she was instantly furious and punched him.
"Shang Yan, you are sick. Do you want to scare me to death?"
Shang Yan was shaken slightly by her hammer, but he didn't hesitate at all. Looking at her face, he slowly said, "It's just like being a thief in your own home."
"How can I be a thief? How can I just come down here to find something to eat?" Xu Li argued confidently, "It's late at night. If you don't want to sleep, why are you running down here?"
"Wait for you."
"Wait for me?" She looked full of doubts, "You haven't slept all this time? Just to squat on me?"
"It's hot." Shang Yan glanced at the microwave oven behind her.
Xu Li turned around and looked over, raised her eyebrows, opened the door and reached out to get it, but she was so burned that she quickly took back her hand and shook it in the air.
Shang Yan frowned and immediately walked over, grabbed her hand and looked at it. When he saw nothing was wrong, he was relieved. However, seeing that her little face was wrinkled up in pain, he lowered his head and put it to his lips and blew gently.
Blow.
When Xu Li's slightly hot breath hit her fingers, Xu Li's heartbeat skipped two beats for an instant. She unnaturally withdrew her hand and turned away from looking at him.
When his hand was empty, Shang Yan glanced at her and without saying anything else, he helped her take out the two plates from the microwave and gave her a pair of chopsticks.
"Is it enough to eat?"
"That's enough. I just want to cushion my stomach. It's easy to lose sleep if you eat too much at night."
She took a few bites with satisfaction, then found that the gaze across from her was too hot, so she raised her eyes and asked, "Can you stop looking at me like that? I'm afraid I'll accumulate food."
Hearing this, Shang Yan looked away obediently.
Xu Li was dumbfounded. In fact, she suggested that he just go upstairs and sleep.
More than ten minutes later, Xu Li put away her plate and chopsticks after finishing her meal and went upstairs. When she was closing the door, Shang Yan's legs, which were several meters long, suddenly crossed over and forced her way in.
She stared at him speechlessly, turned around and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
When he came out again, he saw Shang Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, sitting upright.
Like a Buddha statue.
As she passed by him, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by him. Xu Li struggled subconsciously, and her waist was also held by him, and she fell directly into his arms.
"what are you doing?"
"Let's talk."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Li tried to free her wrist from his palm, but it was useless. She could only glare at him, "If you want to talk about the scandal, I'll still say the same thing. I just had a meal with my friends. It's just dinner, I even said hello to you before going to dinner, and Sister Qiao and Tang Xin were also there at the time, if you still..."
"I know."
He interrupted her in a low voice, his voice muffled, "I believe you."
There was so much determination in these three faint words that she was embarrassed to rebuke loudly, and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, "Then what do you mean by your attitude of wanting to question me when you come back at night?"
"When did I question you?"
"As you said last night, shouldn't I explain to you about the scandal? Plus your cold and arrogant attitude, isn't it a question?" Xu Li argued, "You know what I hate most about you? Is it? It’s the same attitude that you usually have that is authoritarian and strong and likes to give orders."
After she finished yelling, the room fell into silence.
Shang Yan didn't respond for a long time. Xu Li felt that her words were a bit too strong, but she felt that she was right. She really didn't like his attitude.
After thinking about it, she felt that her sitting position was a bit awkward. She tried to get up from him several times, but she was held tightly in his arms every time and could not move.
"Shang Yan?"
"Um."
"How long do you plan to hold me? Can you let me go? My legs are going numb."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strength around her waist was obviously loosened. Xu Li took advantage of the situation to withdraw from his arms, turned around and climbed onto the bed. Before she could cover herself with the quilt, the side suddenly collapsed, and the next moment she was covered by the quilt again. Caught into a familiar embrace.
Shang Yan's way of coaxing people has always been different. Unlike those who talk sweetly, he has always been taciturn and only does things but doesn't talk.
Being able to see him being so shameless tonight is actually a miracle to witness.
After all, the scene where he just stretched his legs to block the door and forced his way in was still a bit funny. Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Li was held by him without moving or resisting.
The depression in my heart is gradually dissipating.
Every time they had a dispute, it seemed to be over some trivial matter, but every time they reconciled quietly.
He understands her little willfulness and her little temper that needs to be coaxed.
