Chapter 123 Lover
23 Half an hour later, Gu Jingcheng's car stopped downstairs, and He Yu had just picked up Xie Xiaoqin.
"You got off work so early today, don't you have to work overtime?" Shen Li asked while fastening his seat belt in the car.
Gu Jingcheng chuckled: "You don't have to work overtime every day. Even the evil capitalists need to take a break occasionally."
As he spoke, he unbuckled his seat belt and put his big hand on Shen Li's lower abdomen: "You've been busy all afternoon, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Li smiled and shook his head. "Fortunately, I am a relatively lucky person. Generally speaking, I don't feel too bad. Besides, I have the warm pack you put on me."
I touched the heat pack on his school uniform and looked at him. After several hours, there was still some residual warmth.
The setting sun shone obliquely through the car window onto his profile. His deep and three-dimensional facial features appeared clear and charming in the sunlight. Shen Li was fascinated by him.
He had a smile on his face and looked gentle. He took out a new hot pack from the storage box and put it on Shen Li with very skillful movements.
"Wei Ming has a dinner date tonight, and I want to take you with me."
Shen Li was startled, staring at him intently, and repeated with some doubt: "Wei Ming?"
"My good friend, you should have seen it last time when I was drunk. If you didn't want to go, I would have postponed it."
Gu Jingcheng held her hand and explained that he wanted to formally introduce her to his friends.
At the same time, he felt a little uneasy, as Shen Li had always been reluctant to mention their relationship in front of outsiders.
Shen Li thought about what he said, drunk?
Suddenly I realized it was him.
She didn't think about it carefully at the time and thought that the two of them were not very familiar with each other, otherwise sending the person back would be a piece of cake. But he actually asked her to pick him up, which made her suspect that it was intentional.
What a scheming idea!
It was the evening rush hour and the traffic was a bit congested, so cars were moving slowly on the main road.
It was already the beginning of winter, the sky was getting darker, and soon it was dusk.
The temperature in the car was just right. Shen Li was covered with a thin blanket and had a soft pillow behind his waist, both of which were prepared by Gu Jingcheng in advance.
After spending an entire afternoon moving and packing, Shen Li felt a little tired. She was even more sleepy during her menstrual period. The environment around her was so comfortable that her eyelids soon began to droop.
When Shen Li woke up, he was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone, and the car just drove into the underground parking lot.
It was Xie Xiaoqin who called and told her not to forget to go back to Lin City tomorrow, as she had to deal with things here and would be there two days late.
Shen Li told her not to worry, saying that he had been there once and was familiar with the people. He said that he was familiar with the route and there would be no problem at all.
The two chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone.
Shen Li stretched, but he was not in a good mood.
The car had stopped steadily. Gu Jingcheng keenly noticed that something was wrong with the person next to him and rubbed her head.
"What's wrong? If you're tired, let's go home."
"No, we're all here, let's go."
As Shen Li said that, he reached out to unbuckle his seat belt, but his hand, which was about to open the car door, was grabbed by Gu Jingcheng.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her was really doting and gentle, and he asked softly, "Are you worried about returning to the group tomorrow?"
He understands Shen Li very well.
Shen Li used to feel that he could see through everything she was thinking, and that he was terrifyingly deep-minded. She was like a transparent person in front of him and could be easily seen through. This was why she refused to be with him at the beginning.
But the more I understand it, the more I realize that this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
His meticulous care and his thoughtful consideration of her emotions made Shen Li fall deeper and deeper in this relationship. She even forgot her previous worries and fears and was willing to open her heart to him.
Shen Li nodded. The entire crew must have known that she was replaced, and she went back for some inexplicable reasons. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow."
Shen Li stared at him with wide eyes. Wouldn't that be equivalent to making their relationship public? If that were the case, she would only feel more pressured.
She could already imagine what others said about her behind her back. Although she didn't care about other people's opinions, she would still feel uncomfortable if she heard it.
Besides, she just wanted to be a quiet worker and didn't want to become the focus of attention because of Gu Jingcheng.
Gu Jingcheng personally sent her off. Even if he didn't say anything, what was the difference between that and announcing it to the world? She was not ready for that.
"No, no, no, I don't think there's anything to worry about. At worst, I'll come back. You can afford it anyway. Let's go."
She said with a smile, opened the car door and got out, leaving all her unhappy feelings behind.
Gu Jingcheng shook his head helplessly, but he agreed with what Shen Li said. He could indeed afford it. He got out of the car in a good mood and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When he held her hand and walked to the door of the box, he clearly felt Shen Li retreat for a moment.
She stopped and tugged at Gu Jingcheng's sleeve, "I think it's better for no one to know about our relationship."
After saying this, she felt guilty and shrank her neck and buried her face.
Gu Jingcheng smiled bitterly: "Now I feel like I am your shameful lover!"
