lure her into deep

After hearing Shen Xu's explanation, Cen Jia was speechless for a while.After a while, she sighed: "Uncle and auntie really love you."

The compliment was sincere.

But her attitude of having nothing to do with her made Shen Xu feel a little bad in his heart.

He frowned slightly and suppressed his panic: "Xiaojia, I'm serious. Over at my home...you don't have to worry."

Cen Jia sighed: "But I don't like you anymore."

Shen Xu's expression froze on his face, and even his breathing stopped.

It was just a light sentence, but it contained a huge force and smashed his whole heart to pieces.

"Xiaojia..." He called her with difficulty, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't speak.

Cen Jia also had a serious expression at this time, and said in a sincere tone: "Shen Xu, I said this before when I rejected you. But you seem to have never understood the key to the matter."

"I don't like you anymore, just because I don't like you anymore, not because I am with other people and have a substitute for feelings."

"So even if Zhou Heng and I separate, I still won't like you. And I don't want to marry someone I don't like."

After all, marriage has never been a necessity for her.

Shen Xu's face gradually became ugly, and the sadness and bitterness in his heart became stronger: "Xiaojia, I grew up together, can't you try to like me again? Or...or it doesn't matter if you don't like me, Give me a chance to like you."

Cen Jia was silent and couldn't tell what she felt.

It would be a lie to say that Shen Xu's entanglement once bored her, but now...how to put it, she wasn't touched at all.

Even if there is an element of unwillingness in it, he can express his love to her at this time, which is a rare sincerity.

Sincerity can be rejected, but it should not be trampled on.

Cen Jia said softly: "Shen Xu, if you miss something like love, you miss it. There is really no need to force it."

"I..." He opened his mouth to retort, but she raised her hand to stop him.

"Listen to me first." Cen Jia made a comforting gesture, "The feelings and fate between people are very complicated. The right time and the right person are indispensable. And at that time, I was still Children, no matter how passionate their feelings are, are not mature enough to count.”

"Can't count?" Shen Xu's chest hurt, obviously hurt by her words, "Xiaojia, don't you think feelings are purer and more passionate when you are young?"

"But my purity and enthusiasm failed to impress you at that time, so it was destined to have no ending." Cen Jia continued the words in a calm tone.

Shen Xu felt suffocated, and his already ugly face turned even more gray: "I'm sorry, Xiaojia, I was blind at that time. I couldn't see the people around me clearly, nor could I see my own feelings clearly." He seemed to suddenly remember something, his voice choked slightly and he paused.

Cen Jia didn't say anything until the other party recovered from a certain emotion.

"Xiaojia..." Shen Xu took a deep breath, his eyes full of begging, "Don't reject me so simply, okay? At least give me a chance to pursue you. Two years... ah no, one year. We have a one-year term , if you still don’t feel the slightest bit about me after a year, I..."

"It's not necessary." Cen Jia interrupted him, speaking firmly, "Shen Xu, I will not fall in love with someone I once liked again. And... maybe I didn't like you that much at the beginning."

"I don't care." He raised his voice unconsciously.Cen Jia shut up, feeling powerless because he was short of oil and salt.

Shen Xu also realized that he was too excited.He picked up the bottle of peach-flavored juice that he didn't like, took a few sips, and tried to calm down.

The awkward and weird silence fell between the two again.

I don’t know how much time passed, but this time it was Cen Jia who took the initiative to say: "Chen Xu."

The person who was named looked up, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Uh..." Cen Jia choked for a moment, then glanced away and secretly gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better stop being so persistent, I'm pregnant."

"What?!" Shen Xu thought there was something wrong with his ears, "What did you say?"

Cen Jia twirled her fingertips lightly, hiding her guilty conscience and repeating: "I said I'm pregnant, Zhou Heng's child."

It was as if a thunderbolt struck directly above his head, and his whole body was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, completely mushy.

His mind went blank, his ears were buzzing continuously, and his breathing and heartbeat were erratic.Shen Xu froze in disbelief, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "You...Xiaojia, this kind of joke is not easy to make. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be with me, but don't lie to me about this kind of thing."

But if you don't say that, can you give up?
Cen Jia sighed secretly, but his face remained calm: "Shen Xu, I'm not kidding you." I'm seriously fooling you.

Shen Xu fell silent.He looked steadily at the person not far away, studying her expression for fear of missing some detail.

Cen Jia bit her lower lip lightly and met his gaze, refusing to give in at all.

The two of them stayed in a stalemate for five minutes, and finally Shen Xu was defeated.

He closed his eyes and raised his hands to cover his face.Obviously he was in pain, but he had to admit this fact: "It's been a few months, he...does he know?"

"Just over a month." Cen Jia didn't know how long it would take for the test to be detected, so she opened her mouth seriously and said, "Zhou Heng doesn't know, he doesn't need to know. I'm just telling you about this now, I hope... I hope Don’t tell anyone, let alone my dad.”

Shen Xu didn't answer her, as if he was immersed in his own pain and couldn't extricate himself.

Cen Jia frowned, feeling a little unsure.

She made up lies to solve the problem, but she didn't want to cause new problems.There's been enough bad stuff lately.And if Mr. Cen knew that she had done this to reject Shen Xu, he would really break her legs.

Just when Cen Jia was feeling anxious, Shen Xu struggled to say one word: "Okay." He wiped his face hard, raised his head and looked at her again, with unconcealable bitterness in his eyes, "Then what are you going to do? After birth, still..."

He didn't finish his words, but his heart was already leaning toward the second answer.

If Cen Jia wanted to keep this child, she would not let him help hide it.After all, Yue Zang couldn't hide this kind of thing.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Cen Jia lowered her eyes. She didn't show too much confusion as a would-be single mother, but her acting skills were pretty good. "My mind is very messed up now. Such a big thing happened to Cen's family again. Dongyao's condition is not good either. I want to calm down and think carefully before making a decision."

"Yeah." Shen Xu responded absently.He actually wanted to say something more, but he seemed to have nothing to say.

After sitting like this for a while, he forced a smile on his face and said, "If you need anything, come to me anytime." Then he stood up and left in a daze.
