Because he likes to paint, and his major in college is fine arts, Luo Shaoheng used to stay in the studio most of the time except for class every day. If he painted frequently, the paint would be used up very quickly, so every time he went to buy paint, he would buy more paint.

After being with Shen Mucheng, every time Shen Mucheng accompanied him to buy paint, he also took the initiative to take the things. He used to always ask Shen Mucheng if it was heavy, and Shen Mucheng's answer at that time was exactly the same as now.

In this situation, it is as if he has forgotten you in his memory, but uses actions to tell you that he still remembers his habit.

Thinking of this, Luo Shaoheng's mood suddenly brightened.

Seeing that he was lagging behind, Shen Mucheng also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Luo Shaoheng restrained himself, followed him to the parking lot, and said, "How do you know that you are lighter than me?"

"..." Shen Mucheng was at a loss for words, what he said just now was completely casual.

"You can try it next time." Luo Shaoheng said pointedly.

This time it was Shen Mucheng's turn to stop, try? How to try? Like carrying these things? Still... Shen Mucheng found that his heart was fluctuating because of these words. He looked at the back of Luo Shaoheng in front of him. The black coat made him slender. Just this back made a charming picture in his mind.

Closed his eyes slightly, he suppressed the restlessness in his chest, and lifted his heels up.

After coming out of the Stationery City, Luo Shaoheng went nearby to buy some daily necessities, and when he finished shopping, it was time for lunch.

"Thanks to you today, let me treat you to dinner." Putting the things on the car, he said to Shen Mucheng.

"What to eat?" Shen Mucheng asked.

"It's all right, you decide." Luo Shaoheng didn't care where to eat, he put on his seat belt, and said jokingly, "It doesn't matter what to eat, the important thing is who to eat with."

As soon as Shen Mucheng started the car, his hand trembled and he almost turned off the engine because of his words, he turned his head and saw him looking at him with a smile, his eyes met and he said with a smile: "What do you want to eat?"

A person who looks clear and gentle, but when he meets his eyes, he has a feeling of affection, which makes people feel that the tenderness in his eyes is all because of you.

Shen Mucheng suppressed the burning heat in his heart, pretended to calmly withdraw his gaze, and stared straight ahead: "Let's eat steamed vegetables."

"Okay." Luo Shaoheng responded quickly, and had no objection to his decision, as if to him, whatever Shen Mucheng said was fine for him.

Facing Luo Shaoheng like this, Shen Mucheng felt that something was wrong with him.

There are many restaurants and restaurants in the commercial street, Shen Mucheng picked a steamed vegetable restaurant that he had eaten and thought it was not bad, and the two of them asked for a small private room.

After ordering, the waiter poured tea for them and retreated, leaving only two people in the private room.

Shen Mucheng took a sip of tea and asked, "How long do you plan to stay here?"

"I plan to stay for a long time." Luo Shaoheng paused, "Is the landlord welcome?"

"You can do whatever you want." Shen Mucheng was not surprised by his answer, since Luo Shaoheng said that he would come over, he was ready for the president to stay.

"So refreshing? Do you need to pay the rent?" Luo Shaoheng asked with a smile.

"I don't need to rent out the house to make money." Shen Mucheng said.

"That's it." Luo Shaoheng looked at him with his chin propped up, "Then can I use another method?"

"Huh?" Shen Mucheng raised his eyebrows.

"For example..." Luo Shaoheng lengthened the ending, with a smile on his face, "How about a promise from your body?"

—Shen Mucheng, I took you in, how will you repay me

- Bookkeeping.

- Bookkeeping? It's too much trouble, let's change the way.

-What

—Or...you promise with your body.

—…

— Haha, you think wrong, don’t you? You are so dirty!

—…

—I mean you model for me, I just need a model.

-oh.

-Okay ah

-good.

The pictures of the past came alive little by little, filling Luo Shaoheng's brain. The corners of his lips were still slightly raised, waiting for Shen Mucheng's answer.

As if he didn't expect him to say that, Shen Mucheng paused the hand holding the cup, and raised his head to meet Luo Shaoheng's eyes, there was clearly a bright smile there, but he saw the sadness hidden behind the smile.

What are you sad about? Why do you always look at me with this indelible loss in your eyes? Are you really looking at me, or... looking at others through me

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Mucheng's heart sank, his face turned cold, and his hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.

His changes made Luo Shaoheng, who had been staring closely at him, feel his anticipation gradually turning cold. Sure enough, even if it was the same person, Shen Mucheng, who had no previous memory, would not give him too much warmth.

He lowered his head and smiled lightly, suppressing the emotions in his eyes. He picked up the tea at the table and took a sip. The fragrant tea just now contained a bitterness that could not be ignored. Spreading to the stomach, this taste is a bit like the sharp barley tea I drank in Guyan Temple before.

Probably from the year Shen Mucheng left, the tea he drank all tasted the same.

"Button—"

The knock on the door interrupted the silence of the two. They thought it was a waiter, but when the door opened, it was a young woman in a red dress.

Shen Mucheng frowned slightly when he saw the other party.

It was He Shuyu who came in. She was eating here at noon, and just now she heard that Shen Mucheng was also here, so she came directly. After all, she went to look for it several times but was rejected by Shen Mucheng. She has to come over anyway.

She walked straight towards Shen Mucheng, stopped beside him, put one hand on the back of his chair, and said in a friendly tone: "Mucheng, I heard that you are also here, so come over to say hello."

Shen Mucheng looked up at her slightly, but didn't ask her to sit down, but just nodded as a greeting.

His indifferent attitude made He Shuyu a little unhappy. Although the marriage between her and Shen Mucheng has not been clarified, the parents of both parties have this intention, but Shen Mucheng has always been indifferent to her. Even going to the Shen's Building requires an appointment to go up to find him, and now she has already put down her face and came here on her own initiative, Shen Mucheng is still so disrespectful.

In view of the business relationship between her family and the Shen family, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said softly: "I went to visit Mr. Jiang yesterday. He is in good health. He said let's find time to go there together so we can talk about it." about the two of us."

He Shuyu came here this time mainly to remind Shen Mucheng with words, even if he is not satisfied with himself, don't forget that there is Mr. Jiang behind him to support him.

Seeing that Shen Mucheng didn't refute her words, she turned her eyes to Luo Shaoheng who was facing him in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "Is this a friend of Mucheng? Didn't I disturb you when I came here?"

"No." Luo Shaoheng didn't know the relationship between the woman in front of him and Shen Mucheng, and Shen Mucheng's attitude should not be too intimate, but the meaning in her words was really misleading, so he simply greeted, "You Okay, I'm Luo Shaoheng."

"Hi, I'm He Shuyu." He Shuyu showed a decent smile, "Shen Mucheng's fiancée."
