never heard i love you

Chapter 17 Unexpected Invitation (1)
Back home, Guo Yueyao was not there again, and Shu Chuande stayed alone on the balcony of the study, sorting out fishing tackle.Shu Pei said hello and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Would you like to heat it up for you?" Shu Chuande put down the work in his hands and ran out of the study with concern.

Shu Pei smiled and shook her head, threw the food into the microwave by herself, and asked casually, "Where's my mother?"

"I don't know. I disappeared after lunch. I didn't say where I was going." Shu Chuande turned around and went back to the study.

Shu Pei waited for the food to heat up, took a bowl and sat aside, chatting with him while eating.The father and daughter chatted for about half an hour when they suddenly heard the door open.Shu Pei picked up the empty bowl and went out. Seeing that Guo Yueyao's expression was not very good, she asked concerned: "Mom, what's wrong with you."

Guo Yueyao waved her hand and went back to the bedroom without saying a word.Shu Pei put the bowl in the sink, went back to the study uneasy, and told Shu Chuande about the situation.

"Maybe I lost money playing mahjong outside, don't worry, she always does this recently." Shu Chuande sighed after hearing this: "Where is the ever-victorious general at the gambling table? She has played for a lifetime, and every time she loses money so."

"It's fine, then I'll go to the store first." Shu Pei reassured, and said: "You should go and see her later, it will hurt you to get angry when you are old."

Shu Chuande nodded and continued to fiddle with the fishing gear in his hand.Shu Pei came out of the house, drove to the store, and went to the city library when she saw that she had nothing to do, and borrowed a lot of books about sign language.

More than a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the smell of Mars in the air at the end of August became stronger and stronger.Shu Pei came back from running with He Zi'an every morning, her clothes were soaked through, and she didn't want to insist on it several times, but he laughed at him for being lazy.

Fang Yiran appeared in the store less and less often, and every time he went, he just bought a glass of juice and left.Dispelling Shu Pei's remaining worries, she obediently followed Guo Yueyao to go on a blind date, while secretly learning sign language, hoping to surprise He Zian.

On the weekend, Shu Pei couldn't bear the torment of blind dates, so she asked Yan Susu to have a massage and scrape treatment early in the morning.It was noon after finishing the work, and the two of them had just discussed going to lunch when Guo Yueyao called.

Shu Pei answered the phone, and when she heard that it was a blind date again, she couldn't help but frowned tiredly, and politely declined: "I'm with Susu, can I go another day?"

"I don't care who you're with, but I'll give you 20 minutes. If you don't show up, don't go home." Guo Yueyao yelled domineeringly, and ended the call directly.

Shu Pei shrugged gloomily at Yan Susu, with a helpless expression on her face.Yan Susu was also very curious about how good the other party was that made Guo Yueyao so impatient, so she volunteered to be with her.

"It's either top quality or a wretched man." Shu Pei muttered without morals, and He Zian's smiling face flashed across her mind, making her even more reluctant to go: "I think I must not like it."

Yan Susu laughed, and teased, "Would it be a pity if you don't see some strange things. Besides, how would you know if you don't see them?"

Shu Pei sighed resignedly, went to pick up the car and drove to Dongda sullenly.Going upstairs to the cafe opposite the school gate, Guo Yueyao and her little sisters were sitting by the window, seeming to be chatting about very happy things.

Before the man arrived, Shu Pei and Yan Susu sat down in the empty seats next to Guo Yueyao and the others, waiting uninterestedly.After a few minutes, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and sportswear came over and introduced himself with an indifferent expression.

The man is Lu Fei, a 33-year-old teacher of horticulture at Dongda University.The person is indeed not thin, and through the clothes, you can also see the bulging muscles all over the body, and the facial features are well-rounded.

Shu Pei looked at it secretly, and after introducing herself, she continued to remain silent, waiting for him to speak.

Lu Fei ordered two cups of coffee, first he talked about his career prospects and how he was respected.Then he talked about his family conditions, and his words revealed a sense of superiority from time to time.

Yan Susu, who was on the side, rolled her eyes when she heard it, and was annoyed by his stingy behavior of only ordering two cups of coffee. She ordered coffee and pastries herself, and deliberately made a loud noise in front of him.

Shu Pei held back a smile and listened in silence, until he asked about his work and family income, he didn't answer a few words lazily.Unexpectedly, when Lu Fei heard that she opened a shop by herself, he immediately said contemptuously: "No business, no adultery."

No matter how good-tempered Shu Pei was, she was also faintly angry.Just as he was hesitating whether to leave directly, he heard him say nonsense: "I heard from the introducer that Miss Shu was engaged to someone before, so I would venture to ask, are you still a virgin?"

When the voice fell to the ground, Guo Yueyao from the next table rushed over before Shu Pei could speak, and replied like a machine gun: "Since Mr. Lu loves sex so much, you can buy a box of plastic wrap and wrap pork belly at home. How do you want to poke it?" Just poke it."

After finishing speaking, I ignored the loud laughter of the sisters, and pulled Shu Pei and Yan Susu up with amazing strength: "Let's go, I may have poked off a few layers of skin, and dare to ask such a question without shame, it is really immature! "

Shu Pei felt as if she had swallowed a fly, but seeing Guo Yueyao was willing to protect her, she couldn't help snickering.

Zhang Xueqiu selected Zhang Fan, who turned out to be a duck in a nightclub, and most of the ones he met recently were top-quality, but this time he would directly come to the best of the best.Guo Yueyao is a very face-saving person, so many of her sisters are listening by the side today, and she guesses that she should give up on the blind date.

After leaving the cafe, Shu Pei excused that there was still something to do in the shop, pretended to be uncomfortable and said goodbye to Guo Yueyao, and dragged Yan Susu in a good mood to continue looking for a place for lunch.

In the afternoon, she obediently went home to accompany her parents to a dinner at her uncle's house. During the dinner, Guo Yueyao didn't mention anything about her marriage, which made her a little at a loss. After eating, she went back to the apartment early.

The door of the next room was closed tightly, and there was no movement even after pressing the special doorbell. Shu Pei stood in the corridor for a while dejectedly, then opened the door and returned to her home.Turning on the TV casually, she hugged her knees and nestled into the sofa, her mind was full of what the best said at noon.

All along, she has never worried that she will not be able to get married, but the old man will be more or less anxious in the big environment.

When a man reaches the age of 40 and has a career and assets, he still does not marry, and most of the young girls rush forward.If you were a woman in her 30s and didn't marry, the conditions for a blind date would be wider than those in the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention boys in their 20s, even those who are divorced and have children are entitled to criticize you.

It is said that Potian women are weak after all, the older they are, the more obvious their disadvantages in the marriage and love market, and the less room for choice.

Shu Pei doesn't want her future husband to be rich and powerful, but only wants him to be honest, motivated and hardworking, who happens to be the person she likes.The conditions seem to be low, and it is more difficult to find than a needle in a haystack.Those who are good-looking have a lot of thoughts, and those who are good-looking generally dislike her for being good-looking. She looks good, but the hardware does not meet Guo Yueyao's requirements.

After thinking wildly for a while, she sent a text message to He Zian without thinking: Zian, I want to treat you to supper.After sending it for a long time and waiting for no reply, Shu Pei simply opened the CD-ROM teaching sign language, and nestled in the sofa to watch and learn.

The night outside the window is getting thicker and darker, and the colorful and bright street lamps spread silently like flowing water among the towering tall buildings.

He Zian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, looking into the distance.In the sky that was dyed orange red by the light, there are little stars, which are endless.Shu Pei should go home and rest now, right?He smiled involuntarily as he thought about it, took off the glasses on his nose, and stretched his limbs in a happy mood.

Xiang Chen at the side was busy debugging the software, seeing him staring blankly from the corner of the eye, he immediately pressed the special bell on the table.Raising his hand, red and yellow lights appeared alternately in the room immediately. He Zian rubbed his temples, walked over with long legs, and asked him in sign language: "Is it done?"

Xiang Chen nodded with a smile, picked up the customized tablet on the table and handed it to him, and at the same time clicked on the software specially developed for him, and said, "Try it."

As soon as the words fell, three words appeared on the tablet screen in He Zian's hand: Try it.After watching it, he smiled and typed quickly: It's unnecessary, I still like to communicate in sign language.

Almost at the same time he finished typing, Xiang Chen heard a male voice with no emotion in the voice system.He shook his head vigorously, quickly set the voice simulation coefficient in the background of the program, and asked him to cooperate with the test again: "You do it again."

He Zian smiled helplessly, and then typed in the document: The previous one is already very good, you don't have to think about upgrading this thing just because you have nothing to do.If I want to fall in love, it is impossible to carry two computers with me every day.

After the mellow, deep male voice rang out, Xiang Chen held back a smile, and later gestured an OK gesture to him, and asked, "Counting the one this afternoon, how many times did Shu Pei have a total date this month?"

"..." He Zi'an raised his head casually, his fingers hesitated and dropped: It should be the tenth, but there won't be any from next week.After typing, he glanced at the time under the screen, then turned around and walked back to the executive desk.

Taking back the cell phone that was left on the table, he unlocked it and saw a text message coming in, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.After hesitating to click on the content of the text message, he silently read that sentence, and immediately jumped up and down with joy.After a second, he gradually calmed down, and he really regretted not replying to her immediately.

It was the first time she took the initiative to ask herself out, and she didn't reply for so long, and she didn't know if she would be angry.Clicking on the reply box, the moment his finger fell, he suddenly retracted, turned around and walked to the stunned Xiang Chen, stretched out his hand to wake him up, and then said in sign language: "Now, you drive me back immediately, quickly..."

Xiang Chen came back to his senses, without asking, he knew it must be a text message from Shu Pei, otherwise he would have no reason to go crazy like that.In less than 10 minutes, the car drove to Youranju's apartment, Xiang Chen watched him enter the elevator hall, and then called He Ziming to meet for supper.

He Zian took the elevator to the 9th floor, nervously and excitedly read the text message again and again, raised his hand and knocked on the door with a smile.

At least an hour had passed since the text message was sent, and Shu Pei had long since forgotten about it.At this moment when the knock on the door sounded, she still wondered if He Zian was doing something wrong knocking on the door so late.After changing the channel, she unhurriedly went to open the door.

He Zian stood outside the door, and when he saw her, his smile widened, and he gestured embarrassingly: "I didn't pay attention to my phone, I'll buy you what you want to eat."

Shu Pei made a good guess, and turned to let him in, while she went to the room to change her clothes.She actually had nothing to eat, and the text message just now was just a whim, but seeing that he cared about her so much, she couldn't help thinking of something else in her heart.

After going downstairs, the two of them didn't drive, but walked to the nearby snack street.

After moving to Youran for a long time, it was the first time Shu Pei walked into the snack street.The pavements on both sides of the street sell authentic Xingang snacks, and the strong smell of food floats in the air.

They found a random restaurant and sat down. They each ordered their favorite snacks and ate them quietly.When they went back, the two walked one after the other, the dim yellow street lamps stretched their shadows extremely long, separated and overlapped constantly, over and over again.

Shu Pei was a little lost. She couldn't remember the last time she and Fang Yiran walked the streets at midnight.I only vaguely remember that in the last semester of junior year, several students in the class got the internship notice at the same time, and everyone happily went to the nearby food street to celebrate, and ended up stumbling over drinks.

The words of heartfelt blessings at that time are still in my ears, who would have expected that Fang Yiran and Meng Xin would have a hot fight and even live together in secret before the three-month internship period is over.Turning her thoughts, she turned her head and glanced at He Zian beside her, but she accidentally stepped on the empty steps.

In a panic, He Zian's powerful arms reached out in time to support her waist firmly, and at the same time quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from falling.Shu Pei was still in shock, and the moment she raised her eyes, she suddenly bumped into his worried eyes, and her breathing became short of breath.

The night covered the faint redness on He Zi'an's handsome face, but it couldn't cover the hot temperature of his hands, and the affection in those black pupils that penetrated all time and space.

Shu Pei raised her hand in a daze, gently covering his cheek and rubbing it.In the next moment, crisp laughter overflowed from her lips little by little, and the melodious voice like a glass bell kept whirling in the dimly lit alley.

He Zian was stunned for a second, and caught her hand that was sticking to his face in time, his smile enlarged little by little, and he slowly hugged her into his arms.

He hugged him so tightly that he was afraid that the person in his arms would disappear if he let go, almost exhausting all his strength.Shu Pei felt uncomfortable being strangled by his powerful arms, but she didn't push him away. Instead, she rested her head on his undulating chest, feeling his frantic heartbeat contentedly.

After returning to the apartment for an hour, the two walked out of the elevator with their fingers clasped together, and stood in the corridor outside the door, looking at each other and giggling.Shu Pei pointed to the door of his room, her cheeks blushing, signaling him to go to bed earlier.

He Zian nodded with a smile, and when he let go, he hugged her tightly again, his slightly cool lips fell on her smooth forehead, unwilling to leave for a long time.Shu Pei wrapped her hands around his waist without a trace of fat, and the feeling of happiness filled her heart completely, leaving no gaps.

I don't know how long it took until the elevator's arrival bell rang, and the two separated in a panic and opened the door to enter the room.That night, both of them were so excited that they couldn't sleep, but they tacitly didn't send any text messages to each other.

Early the next morning, the two opened the door at the same time as usual and went downstairs for a run together.The difference from the past is that there is a touch of sweetness that does not need to be expressed in words in the eyes of each other looking at each other.After finishing their morning jog, the two of them put on their regular clothes and went to the farmer's market reluctantly parting for a minute.

There is still a lot of time before work to buy the fruit that needs to be replenished in Qishupei's shop.At He Zian's suggestion, Shu Pei drove to Binjiang Road to Fengshun for morning tea.Holding hands, they went up to the small hall upstairs, and the two found a place to sit down. They each took out their favorite snacks from the waiter's cart, and ordered a pot of Chen Pu.

There was still no conversation during the meal, only the tenderness and affection in the eyes, quietly intertwined in the air.After drinking morning tea and returning to the store, He Zian helped her move all the fruits to the back kitchen, and offered to help clean up.Shu Pei couldn't stop him no matter what, so he simply let him go.

After He Zian finished his chores, he walked into the counter and hugged her, then let go and said in sign language: "I'm going to work, I'll send you a text message later."

Shu Pei nodded with a smile, and waved at him reluctantly: "Go."

He Zi'an smiled brightly, and walked out of the store lightly.Shu Pei kept looking at his back, and didn't look back until he was out of sight.

After a long silence, the door sensor suddenly rang: "Welcome."Shu Pei raised her head with a breezy face, seeing clearly that it was Fang Yiran, her eyes were instantly covered with ice.He thought to himself, why does this person look like brown sugar, he still doesn't give up.

With a vague smile on the corner of Fang Yiran's mouth, he walked calmly to the counter and looked Shu Pei up and down.

Shu Pei ignored his gaze, sat down on the high chair leisurely, and asked with a half smile, "What do you want to drink?"

"Shu Pei..." Fang Yiran leaned down, bent his arms to support the counter, stared into her eyes for a moment, and said affectionately and gently, "Shall we start again?"

"Pfft..." Shu Pei sneered, and slowly leaned back, fiddling with the phone leisurely, waiting for him to continue.

Maybe it was because she covered it up too well, or maybe it was because Fang Yiran still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, he paused and changed the topic and asked tentatively: "You and He Zian are serious, right? Even if sympathy is overflowing, there should be someone Spend."

Shu Pei looked away from the phone screen, fell on his face calmly, and smiled: "Who told you that I sympathized with him? Fang Yiran, I'm really not afraid to tell you, I love him, I love He Zian!"

"Shu Pei, wake up." Fang Yiran was heartbroken, and his tone couldn't help raising his voice: "It's fine for you to sympathize with him, but you have to think about your uncle and aunt..."

Shu Pei interrupted him impatiently: "If you drink too much sea water, make yourself vomit, don't come here to disgust me."

"Shu Pei, please forgive me once." Fang Yiran lowered his eyes: "I have already broken off with Meng Xin completely."
