There was a moment of silence in the elevator, Shen Muqing's expression froze for a moment, she tilted her head and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
She pointed back at herself, with a calm face: "Who cares?"
Jiang Chen pulled his lips into a smile, meaning something.
Shen Muqing blinked, looking at the elevator's ascending floor: "You yourself overreacted today, right? Who cares?"
As soon as the voice fell, the elevator just stopped.
Shen Muqing walked out first, and directly pressed the elevator for Jiang Chen: "I'm here, you can go."
The elevator doors slowly closed.
She didn't wait for Jiang Chen to answer, the moment the elevator door closed, she left the elevator door first, and then entered the room.
In the elevator, Jiang Chen raised his eyes to look at the descending floor, and the corners of his lips curled up slowly.
He chuckled, and suddenly he was not in a hurry.
————
Shen Muqing was very calm, and entered the room calmly. The room was empty, and Acridine, who had dinner with her college classmates, hadn't come back yet.
She opened and closed the door, and leaned behind the door for a few seconds before changing her shoes and going upstairs.
It wasn't until she was lying on the bed that Shen Muqing suddenly had a sense of reality.
She reached out, rubbed her eyes, turned over and looked at the ceiling.
The decoration of Shen Muqing's room is very simple, but the lights under the ceiling are quite beautiful.
She likes this kind of radiant things very much. Every light in the house is carefully selected by her. Not to mention expensive, the point is that it is rare.
If she remembered correctly, the one in her room was brought back by Jiang Chen from abroad.
At that time, I saw on the Internet that there was no stock in the country, but she wanted it anxiously, so Jiang Chen made a special trip abroad and brought her this lamp and the two desk lamps on the bedside table back.
And, of course, some of her favorite bags.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Chen almost responded to Shen Muqing's requests and needs.
He is not forgiving in his mouth, but he is more active than anyone else in action.
Shen Muqing didn't know what happened to her recently, she was always recalling the past.
She blinked lightly, and buried her head in the quilt again.
A few seconds later, she got up abruptly, opened her phone and sent a message to Yan Qiuzhi.
Shen Muqing: [When I came back just now, I heard someone calling Jiang Chen.]
Yan Qiuzhi: [? who?]
Shen Muqing: [A woman, said to be Mr. Guan, probably has some business cooperation.]
Yan Qiuzhi: [Then what?]
Shen Muqing: [Ask Chen Lunan, they must know exactly what kind of business cooperation it is.]
Yan Qiuzhi: [Didn't you not care about these before?]
Shen Muqing: […]
I don't know why, but after being asked the same question by two people all day, she vaguely seemed to have found the answer.
Some things are hidden, but once the sharp corners are exposed, it is easy for people to find, and they can even pull out all the hidden things directly.
Something that she had been suppressing all the time seemed to come out at this moment.
It filled her mind, making her unable to suppress it no matter how hard she tried.
Shen Muqing is not the kind of character who is particularly evasive, she belongs to the kind of person who goes forward bravely.
It may be the problem of her growing environment, which makes her less timid no matter what she encounters.
Just as she was thinking, Yan Qiuzhi's message came over again.
Yan Qiuzhi: [Do you still remember Cheng Zhan making fun of you and Jiang Chen before? At that time, you tried to refute it, but now... you don't seem to be so resistant.]
She was hinting at Shen Muqing.
Shen Muqing stared blankly at her message for a long while, but didn't reply right away.
She felt that she needed some mental preparation, and she needed to talk to herself about how she became like this.
The joke Yan Qiuzhi said was that when she graduated from university, there would be a few familiar classmates with a graduation certificate and a marriage certificate. Shen Muqing admired it for a long time.
One night when they had a party and were having dinner together, Shen Muqing suddenly mentioned her classmates again, expressing her envy.
Everyone was joking and joking.
Cheng Zhan was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked at Shen Muqing and said, "You can do it too."
Shen Muqing looked at him suspiciously: "I don't even have a date, how can I get a marriage certificate and a graduation certificate in one hand."
"Look for it."
"Who are you looking for?"
Cheng Zhan smiled inexplicably: "You can ask Jiang Chen, he will help you with everything, and he will definitely help you to get a certificate with you."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the box.
Before Jiang Chen had time to react, she herself reacted fiercely and threw the pillow towards Cheng Zhan, angrily said: "Are you kidding, how can Jiang Chen and I, we are good brothers for life .”
Seeing her overreaction, Cheng Zhan sincerely apologized.
After that, no one mentioned the jokes between her and Jiang Chen.
Except for strangers who would occasionally match her with Jiang Chen, no one else would mention it.
Occasionally, when it comes to talking casually, she will immediately change the subject, lest she get angry.
…
Shen Muqing thought about it seriously, and vaguely felt something was wrong.
Even if they were afraid that she would get angry, they wouldn't do this. She suddenly had a special idea.
Thinking about it, she immediately called Yan Qiuzhi.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Qiuzhi smiled: "I thought you didn't want to talk to me anymore."
"What are you talking about?"
Shen Muqing said: "I'll ask you."
"you say."
"After Cheng Zhan joked with us that time, did Jiang Chen tell you something?"
Yan Qiuzhi was startled, thought for a while and said, "I have said."
She said: "but he didn't say anything to me. He knew that I wouldn't joke with you about this kind of thing."
"What about Chen Lunan?"
"Let me ask?"
Shen Muqing hesitated for a few seconds, and said without hesitation: "Okay, just ask and tell me."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Muqing sent a message to another friend who was in the box at that time.
She stared at her phone intently, waiting for their reply.
A few minutes later, Yan Qiuzhi replied the message first.
Yan Qiuzhi: [Chen Lunan said—Jiang Chen, you don't like this joke, let them not make fun of you and him together in the future, anything else is fine, but this is not allowed.]
Yan Qiuzhi: [Jiang Chen is quite caring.]
Shen Muqing pursed her lips, but did not reply. Immediately afterwards, another friend's message came back.
[You and Jiang Chen? He said you don't like it, so we are not allowed to say it. Why did you suddenly ask this?]
Shen Muqing stared blankly at the messages sent by the two of them one after the other, and suddenly found the answer.
she! it turns out! right! Jiang Chen! have! mean! !
This kind of thing, Shen Muqing would never have thought about it before.
It wasn't that she was slow to respond, of course there were reasons for it, but the bigger reason was that she and Jiang Chen were really too familiar.
The two have known each other since she was born.
It is said that after Shen Muqing was born in the hospital, Jiang Chen hugged her when she returned home.
She also liked Jiang Chen a little bit since she was a child. Compared with the other brothers next door, Jiang Chen was the one she was closest to.
Just a few years ago, when she had no idea of falling in love, she really never thought about the possibility of herself and Jiang Chen.
too ripe.
Growing up together since childhood, Jiang Chen even remembers the days when she became a big aunt, and even remembers the time of her monthly menstrual period, remembers when she started to develop, and remembers many things about her.
Thinking of this, Shen Muqing's face turned red uncontrollably.
Why.
Is she crazy
When did it start, it would be interesting to Jiang Chen.
Can't find an answer.
Shen Muqing asked herself hundreds of times in her mind, but she couldn't find a reasonable answer.
Things like feelings seem to have always been like this, there is no definite number, and there is no answer.
Maybe inadvertently, that seed germinated, and then it grew continuously upwards.
After admitting her feelings for Jiang Chen in her heart, Shen Muqing suddenly felt even more troubled.
Even the forced kiss a week ago could embarrass her for a long time, how could she get along with Jiang Chen after that.
What can she do to... develop further with Jiang Chen while maintaining the status quo.
Thinking of this, Shen Muqing immediately called Yan Qiuzhi.
*
When she saw Shen Muqing's phone call, Yan Qiuzhi was a little surprised, she thought that this person didn't plan to talk to her anymore.
Chen Lunan glanced at her phone.
"Qingqing's phone call."
Yan Qiuzhi looked at him: "Go take a bath first."
Chen Lunan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay." He said, "Don't chat for too long."
"No no no."
After driving Chen Lunan into the bathroom, Yan Qiuzhi connected.
"I thought you weren't going to call me anymore?"
"No."
Shen Muqing took a deep breath, and asked in a low voice: "Are you saying I'm crazy?"
"What?"
Shen Muqing covered her face, buried her head on the pillow and said in a muffled voice, "How can I like Jiang Chen?"
Yan Qiuzhi: "..."
She laughed, curled her lower lip and said, "How is that impossible? Look at the people around you. Is there anyone who is better than Jiang Chen and pampers you?"
Shen Muqing thought about it seriously, it seemed that there was really no such thing.
She wailed: "What should I do then?"
"What do you mean?"
Yan Qiuzhi asked curiously: "You have already discovered your feelings, what do you think should be done?"
"I want to chase him?"
Yan Qiuzhi thought for a while: "It's not impossible, do you mind?"
"Do I look like I'd mind?"
Shen Muqing has always been straightforward: "I'm just afraid... what if Jiang Chen doesn't like me, then we don't even have to be brothers?"
"..."
To be honest, if this person wasn't her best friend, Yan Qiuzhi would have wanted to knock her head open to see what was hidden inside.
If Jiang Chen didn't like her, how could he pamper her so much and be so responsive to her requests.
It's just that those involved are confused by the onlookers, and it's not easy for Yan Qiuzhi to intervene too much.
She was silent for a while: "Although I can't be sure, you can test it out."
Shen Muqing was curious: "How to test? Jiang Chen is already so good to me on weekdays, how can I find out?"
Yan Qiuzhi: "..."
"You also know that Jiang Chen treats you well on weekdays?"
Shen Muqing choked.
She opened her mouth, and suddenly felt that she should shut up.
Yan Qiuzhi teased her, and said with a smile: "Okay, nothing else, I just think you can give it a try."
Shen Muqing made a "hmm" sound, and nuzzled and said, "I'll try, I just don't know how to chase people, how did Chen Lunan chase you back then?"
Yan Qiuzhi: "... I don't really remember."
Shen Muqing: "That's fine, I'll go to Baidu."
"..."
Out of nowhere, Yan Qiuzhi worried for Jiang Chen for two seconds.
