"You weren't like this before." Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Shen Zhining, who seemed to have changed.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? How much do you know about me?"
"You... Ning Xiaoruan said you were frigid." Sheng Jiaoyang rolled his eyes and threw the blame on Ning Xiaoruan.
Shen Zhining narrowed his eyes, with a hint of danger in his expression.
Sheng Jiaoyang looked at the change in his expression, silently prayed for Ning Xiaoruan in his heart, and continued: "You don't even like a big beauty like Daisy, you were really not a womanizer at all before. "
"Ha!" Shen Zhining laughed with unknown meaning.
"Why, am I wrong somewhere?" Sheng Jiaoyang blinked.
"Would you want to sleep with a man just because he is handsome?"
"What?" Sheng Jiaoyang was stunned, feeling like he was hearing hallucinations in his ears.
"My desires can only be determined by my heart. The person I want to be close to must first be the person I accept in my heart."
He paused, stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, stared at her, and said, "But you were an accident."
"Me?" Sheng Jiaoyang was surprised.
He lowered his head and leaned close to her, breathing on her face, and his deep magnetic voice slid into her ears.
"You're the only person I want to get close to before I'm sure in my heart."
Sheng Jiaoyang felt that her heart was beating a little too fast. If she had to rate this love talk, she would give it full marks. Even listening to it made her feel flushed and heart-beating.
She licked her lips and said, "Can you get up first? My waist is about to break."
In fact, her whole back was pressed against the table, and her waist was not stressed very much. However, she felt that this position was a bit dangerous, and she would be chewed again by some unscrupulous beast at any time.
Shen Zhining gave her a steady look, and finally kindly let her go and pulled her up.
"You and I will attend the Lin family's dinner party the day after tomorrow."
"But I want to talk to grandpa..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted.
"Do you want me to kiss you until you agree?" Shen Zhining reached out and hooked her chin, asking half seriously and half teasingly.
Sheng Jiaoyang blushed and closed her mouth. This Shen Zhining was too evil. If she couldn't fight, she should just accept her fate.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Hearing his words, Sheng Jiaoyang looked at him in surprise, surprised that he sent her home so quickly.
Shen Zhining curled his lips, "Don't you have classes tomorrow morning? Did you decide not to go back tonight because you don't want to be separated from me?"
"No!" Sheng Jiaoyang hurriedly picked up his bag and coat.
"Put on your clothes, it's cold outside." Shen Zhining took the coat hanging in her hand, unfolded it for her to put on, and left.
This move was indeed a bit warm and masculine. Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at Shen Zhining several times. She put on her coat, carried her bag and left the Cloud Restaurant next to Shen Zhining.
In the car, Shen Zhining actually asked her about things, such as whether any teachers at school were targeting her again, what were her recent work plans, etc. Since he asked, Sheng Jiaoyang gave a brief summary, such as preparing to attend the school's New Year's Day party, and preparing to take on a charity-themed literary film.
The two of them seemed to be back when they first lived together, chatting about small topics about life. The only difference was that the way he looked at her now was much more intimate than that time.
When he got home, Shen Zhining did not follow Sheng Jiaoyang in, but only watched her enter the house.
When the door closed, Sheng Jiaoyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling confident that he was on his own territory.
"Jiaojiao is back." Mr. Yang greeted him first in the living room.
"Has grandpa had dinner?" Sheng Jiaoyang walked over.
The TV show that Sheng Jiaoyang participated in was playing on the TV in the living room.
"Of course I did. What did Jiaojiao eat at night?"
"Steak, foie gras." Sheng Jiaoyang couldn't tell if it was a candlelight dinner, so he just picked up two items and talked about them, and then changed the subject: "What do you think of this?"
“The show is fun and the most important thing is that you are in it.”
After chatting for a while and watching TV together, Sheng Jiaoyang went back to the room.
Sheng Jiaoyang went to school as usual the next day, and was teased by his classmates as soon as he entered the classroom.
"Jiaojiao, I went on a date with my boyfriend last night~"
"I just said why we broke up. Those paparazzi like to catch something and report it randomly."
Sheng Jiaoyang knew what happened as soon as he heard it, "Someone took photos secretly again?"
"Yes, yes!" The classmate who was lucky enough to sit at the same table as Jiaojiao today quickly handed her phone over to her.
Above is a set of photos. There is a scene of her and Shen Zhining walking out of the elevator, and a scene of Shen Zhining raising his hand to protect the roof of the car and letting her sit in the car.
"Jiaojiao's boyfriend is so warm! And he's tall and handsome, so he looks so good with Jiaojiao!" the girl at the same table said in a nymphomaniacal tone.
Sheng Jiaoyang was speechless and choked. She now really realized that she would pay more attention to the confidentiality of her whereabouts in the future. She was also secretly photographed while eating. Fortunately, they were in a private room, otherwise they would have no privacy at all.
She received a call from Gu Zhou during class. Gu Zhou said that Cen Jin would be back today and would arrive at the airport at eleven o'clock. She remembered that she had given up on someone else last time and offered to pick him up at the airport to show her sincerity.
There was originally one more class, but Sheng Jiaoyang had no choice but to ask for leave again.
Sheng Jiaoyang arrived at the airport early. After knowing which exit Cen Jin came out from, she stayed near that exit. But the strange thing was that Cen Jin's flight had already arrived at the airport, and everyone else on the same flight had already come out. Before Cen Jin came out, she called Cen Jin directly, and now the call was able to get through.
"Hello." Cen Jin's voice on the phone sounded a little unkind, and his tone was a little impatient.
"Director Cen, I am Xu Jiaojiao. Have you left the airport?"
Cen Jin seemed stunned for a moment, "You knew I was coming back today?"
"Gu Zhou told me, I'm sorry that I missed meeting you last time due to an accident. I hope I can apologize to you in person today." Sheng Jiaoyang showed full sincerity and courtesy.
Because of her words, Cen Jin softened his tone: "Are you waiting outside the airport?"
"Yes."
"My suitcase hasn't come out yet. I don't know how long it will take. Why don't you go back first and make an appointment again in the afternoon or evening."
"It doesn't matter, I'll wait for you outside."
Sheng Jiaoyang's attitude saved a lot of impression points. Before hanging up the phone, Cen Jin asked her to sit down at a coffee shop and wait for him.
However, Sheng Jiaoyang did not walk away. She still stood not far from the exit, staring in the direction of the exit, in order to recognize Cen Jin immediately.
"Jiaojiao?"
Hearing the shout, Sheng Jiaoyang turned around and raised her eyebrows when she saw Lin Yu.
"It's really you, are you here to pick me up too?" Lin Yu approached with a smile.
"Yes." Sheng Jiaoyang reached out and touched the tightly covered mask and the low hat, "Can you recognize me like this?"
"Your temperament allows you to be found quickly even if you are hidden in a crowd."
This was very pleasant to hear. Sheng Jiaoyang laughed. She looked at the exit and asked casually: "Are you picking up a relative or a friend?"
"You happen to know the person I want to pick up," Lin Yu said.
know? Sheng Jiaoyang turned to Lin Yu and asked who it was with his eyes.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's cousin Lin Yan."
Lin Yan…
Sheng Jiaoyang frowned and his expression froze for a moment.
"Oh, by the way, my aunt will also come back with my cousin this time." Lin Yu added.
"That's good. Aunt Lin probably hasn't seen her family for a long time."
"Yes, my aunt left home before I was born. It has been more than 20 years now. Grandpa actually misses his aunt very much. This time he knew that his aunt was coming back, so he was very happy to go to bed very late every day. Yes." Lin Yu said with emotion.
"Come out." Sheng Jiaoyang saw at a glance the mother and son with extremely outstanding looks, who were protected by bodyguards.
Lin Yu looked over and saw them. He quickly waved to them. "Aunt, cousin, here!"
A group of people heard the sound and came over.
"Xiao Yu," Lin Xuejun called gently. She then looked at the people around Lin Yu, "You brought friends?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Auntie, you know her, she is Jiaojiao."
Sheng Jiaoyang pulled down his mask and greeted Lin Xuejun: "Aunt Lin."
The sight next to her was extremely hot, but she didn't dare to look past it.
"You?" Lin Xuejun's eyes lingered on Lin Yu and Sheng Jiaoyang.
"We happened to meet each other, and I came to pick him up." Sheng Jiaoyang said immediately.
"Who are you going to pick up?" Lin Yan looked at her and asked.
Lin Xuejun turned to look at Lin Yan in surprise. When she saw the unyielding look in his eyes, her expression changed and she looked at the girl in front of her with a vague gaze.
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't notice the change in Lin Xuejun's expression. With Lin Yan's gaze on her, she had no time to pay attention to anything else. "Pick up a friend," she simply said.
"You guys should go first, my friend will be out soon." Sheng Jiaoyang deliberately turned her head and looked toward the exit. Unexpectedly, she saw someone who looked very similar to Cen Jin's photo. She hurriedly said goodbye, " My friend has come out, so I will take the first step."
She didn't look at Lin Yan, and walked toward the exit in a hurry, meeting the bearded man who came out dragging his suitcase.
"Is that her boyfriend?" Lin Xuejun seemed to mutter to herself unintentionally.
While she was talking, she paid special attention to Lin Yan's expression with her peripheral vision. When she saw that his expression changed slightly, her expression also became slightly more solemn.
"This shouldn't be Jiaojiao's boyfriend. I have met her boyfriend. He is a very good person." Lin Yu said after hearing what his aunt said.
"Have you seen it?" Lin Yan forcibly retracted his gaze and turned to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled. He remembered the young man he saw following Xu Jiaojiao with a possessive attitude at Mr. Yang's recognition dinner the day before yesterday. Facing his cousin's question, he said patiently: "Yes, they seem to have a close relationship. I heard that I will come to my grandpa's birthday party tomorrow. I can introduce him to my cousin then. You are all here." Those who grew up abroad should have something in common.”
Lin Yan lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered the emotion in his eyes.
