Chapter 1013: Su Weiyi, Do You Think I’m Despicable? (3)
There, the man seemed to mutter a curse and then left. The next moment, Su Weiyi felt the hand gripping her arm relax, and the faint mint scent instantly dissipated.
Su Weiyi quickly regained her composure and instinctively looked at the person behind her, Sheng Yanxiao was also looking down at her.
Su Weiyi, at 1.65 meters, appeared extremely petite before Sheng Yanxiao, who was 1.87 meters tall. As their eyes met for a moment, Su Weiyi heard the sound of her long-sealed heart suddenly shatter.
It was as if the dry land cracked open, revealing the slightly moist soil beneath, and a small flower silently began to grow.
"Are you okay?"
Sheng Yanxiao’s deep voice came through. Su Weiyi unconsciously shook her head.
His voice was like clear spring water, nurturing that little flower.
But in the next instant, Sheng Yanxiao had already moved his gaze away indifferently, and the four of them paid the bill and left. Si Nian turned to Sheng Yanxiao and said, "I’ll take my sister home, we’re leaving first."
With that, he took Si Xia and left, leaving Su Weiyi and Sheng Yanxiao alone at the restaurant’s entrance.
"Did you drive?"
Sheng Yanxiao asked. Su Weiyi lowered her head and shook it. Sheng Yanxiao took out his car key from his pocket and pressed it. The lights of a nearby black car blinked, and Sheng Yanxiao went over to open the passenger door, "Get in."
His actions were all very natural, in stark contrast to Su Weiyi’s awkwardness, as if he felt nothing at all.
Su Weiyi took a deep breath and walked over to get in the car, while Sheng Yanxiao went around to the other side to open the door and sit down.
He didn’t start the car immediately but suddenly leaned over. Su Weiyi’s hands tightened abruptly, her body instinctively shrank back, and then she saw Sheng Yanxiao calmly pull over the seatbelt next to her head. With a "click", he buckled it for her, the faint mint scent retreated and disappeared.
Sheng Yanxiao fastened his own seatbelt and slowly started the car. His face showed no expression, his movements were as fluid as water, yet Su Weiyi’s heart seemed about to leap out of her throat.
Three years ago, she thought his closeness was breathtaking.
Now she realizes, his closeness is earth-shaking.
Clearly, nothing happened. He just pulled her aside to prevent her from being hit, just buckled her seatbelt, yet Su Weiyi felt as if all her strength had been drained.
Sheng Yanxiao didn’t speak the entire way, and of course, Su Weiyi remained silent as well.
Soon, the car stopped, and only then did Su Weiyi return to her senses, realizing the car had stopped under her apartment building.
How did he know she lived here?
This thought just flashed through her mind, and she had already voiced it out. Su Weiyi was startled, wishing she could bite off her own tongue, then heard the person beside her sneer: "Mr. Sheng prepared the house for you, I know, is it strange?"
Su Weiyi could easily discern the full irony in Sheng Yanxiao’s tone.
She pressed her lips together, forcing herself to calm down, reached out to unbuckle her seatbelt, "Thank you for bringing me back, be careful on your way."
After speaking, Su Weiyi reached out to open the car door but couldn’t, as Sheng Yanxiao hadn’t unlocked it.
Su Weiyi turned to look at him. In the dim light, Sheng Yanxiao was resting one hand on his chin and the other still gripping the steering wheel.
Staring ahead, it was unclear what he was thinking.
Su Weiyi wanted to speak but lost the courage to do so. The cabin fell into a deathly silence. After several seconds, Sheng Yanxiao’s voice finally came through softly: "What are you afraid of?"
