Let her be arrogant

Chapter 19 Gaozhi
  "I know," Sheng Lanqing opened her eyes wide and smiled innocently, "I'm seducing you. I want to..."

When she was awake, Sheng Lanqing rarely showed such a weak and delicate look.

At this moment, she was completely unguarded in front of him, like a cat with its soft belly exposed.

Xi Yu's body became more and more tense, and she almost thought she was going crazy.

He had not felt this kind of out-of-control feeling for a long time.

But when I met Sheng Lanqing, I could always feel the overwhelming feeling of defeat that was about to begin in the next moment.

"I want to climb high branches..."

She wrapped her arms around Xi Yu's neck, leaned into his ear, and carefully confided the secret.

"Don't tell anyone else. If Xi Yu knows...he won't be nice to me anymore..."

Although it's not much better now...

Sheng Lanqing thought dullly that he was still cold and indifferent, and he was reluctant to send her even a New Year's greeting.

"It's a bit cold."

She thought drowsily, huddled in Xi Yu's arms, and fell asleep again.

Xi Yu looked at the drunk cat in her arms with a complicated expression. She held back an unspeakable reaction and carried Sheng Lanqing into the room where she stayed last time.

It's just that this time the room has a faint scent of sandalwood, and there are a few stacks of documents neatly placed on the desk.

He has lived in this room since last time.

The dark gray curtains almost turned into black in the night, then slowly became misty, and automatically rose in response to the skylight.

Sheng Lanqing's eyelashes flashed, and then she turned sideways and covered her head with the quilt.

"What is this place?"

The tip of her nose did not smell the rose scent stained by the hotel quilt, but the faint smell of sandalwood, and a faint smell of smoke.

It's just not strong. Obviously the owner of this quilt doesn't smoke, but he has been in a smoky environment.

Sheng Lanqing reacted, quickly opened the quilt, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a soft white sweater dress and a folded down jacket beside her pillow.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

But what happened last night quickly emerged in my mind...

Sheng Lanqing's face gradually turned red, she covered her face with her hands, and almost wanted to scream.

Oh my god, what embarrassing things has she done?

Why not just cut off the film like those who are completely drunk?
  It's definitely not okay to stay in the house and pretend to be dead.

Sheng Lanqing finished her ideological construction and hurried downstairs after washing.

"Xi Yu, good morning."

She crossed the living room and looked at him with a smile from the kitchen.

Xi Yu wore a light gray coat, with her sexy neck half covered by a high-necked cashmere sweater, and black casual trousers. She was methodically pouring chopped onions, garlic and parsley into the milk pot.

On the other side are white porcelain bowls filled with shrimps and clams, full of life.

Sheng Lanqing suddenly had the illusion that he was on vacation at the beach.

The person accompanying her was a senior from her school.

When she said "little master" back then, she didn't have any selfish intentions.

She even fantasized about bringing him to Teacher Gu and proudly announcing that he was her boyfriend.

At a romantic wedding, when it's the bride's turn to give a speech, she should mention her career with pride.

The same Kunqu opera actors, the husband and wife have a deep love.

Such a fantasy, how badly it fell in the face of reality.

She didn't want to see Xi Yu at first.

Perhaps due to Lu Lin's upbringing, she was not mentally healthy and was eager to seek the love of others.

So that if you cannot love, you will have deeper hatred.

"Come and help."

Xi Yu said without looking back and nodded at the small pot on the side.

"Serve the porridge I cooked for you yourself."

He said it in an understatement. In fact, even the side dishes to go with the porridge were ready.

Brightly colored cucumbers, stir-fried vegetables with minced garlic, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

"It's been several years and your habits haven't changed."

Sheng Lanqing served the porridge, took the side dishes, stirred the porridge bowl a few times with a spoon, and found that there were soft yam inside.     “I don’t really like hiring housekeepers.”

Xi Yu brought the creamy seafood risotto, sat down in front of her, and explained, "You drank too much yesterday, so you need to eat lightly."

"I know," Sheng Lanqing rolled her eyes and smiled sincerely, "Thank you."

He has always liked to be alone, including when he was in the theater troupe.

Every time she went to see him, she could see his impatience.

But at that time, she always considered her own feelings and just wanted to see him more.

And Xi Yu didn't criticize her harshly because of her own upbringing...

Sheng Lanqing drank the porridge slowly, with a sense of sadness unavoidable in her eyes.

In fact, he didn't do anything wrong. At most, he just didn't like her. This couldn't be forced.

Otherwise...it's better not to have any idea of ​​​​him...

Xi Yu ate elegantly, taking in the panoramic view of Sheng Lanqing's changing expressions.

"Accompany me to the company for a meeting in the afternoon. There is a dance in the evening. I need a female companion."

Sheng Lanqing looked up at him, somewhat unwilling to tangle with him again.

If this continues, she will easily fall into Xi Yu's tenderness.

But he doesn't like her...

She might as well cut the knot quickly, lest he disturb a pool of spring water without him knowing it.

"I still have an appointment with Song Shiyu."

Sheng Lanqing said tentatively.

In fact, she didn't know exactly when Song Shiyu would take her to meet her parents.

But this is undoubtedly a good excuse to reject Xi Yu politely.

"You can ask someone else to go with you."

Anyway, there were so many women out there who liked him, so she didn't believe that Xi Yu hadn't put any thought into it.

"other people?"

Xi Yu put down the tableware, her face suddenly darkened, and she looked at her with cold eyes.

"Who do you think I am? A person who is not selective about food, or someone who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman?"

Sheng Lanqing pursed her lips.

She knew she had made a mistake and did not dare to continue eating in the face of Xi Yu's cold gaze. Instead, she put her hands on her knees.

Like a well-behaved student who lets the teacher criticize him.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Xi Yu continued to wait for a while, but did not wait for her to explain.

As long as she makes any excuse, he will believe it.

But Sheng Lanqing obviously had no intention of revealing the slightest truth to him.

When I was a child, in order to beg for a meal, I was forcibly taken to Xi's house by that woman. I was bullied like a pig or a dog, and there were endless temptations...

To mince words...

Sheng Lanqing seems to have become exactly like them... and she also has no sincerity towards him.

"You go."

Xi Yu's stern expression calmed down, as calm as if nothing had happened.

"I……"

Sheng Lanqing panicked instinctively.

She just wanted to stop thinking about pretending to be real.

But it doesn't mean that she can accept that Xi Yu is tired of her.

"I just……"

I still dare not say those little thoughts out loud.

Sheng Lanqing's thoughts changed rapidly and she chose the most reasonable excuse.

"I'm just afraid of causing trouble for you again. After all, I have never attended such a social occasion. I usually sing Kunqu opera, so I don't need to worry too much about this..."

　Happy New Year everyone~
