Chapter 21

  I'm just an ordinary person too...

  Is Shen Lue's smile too bitter, or does this sentence contain too much? Wang Shaokuo just felt that his whole heart was tightly knotted together because of her one sentence, and he couldn't breathe.

  As a psychology major, she should know the principle of 'things will inevitably change once they reach an extreme'.

  The more perfect a person is, the more they have been through behind their back.

  On Shen Lue's body, Wang Shaoke couldn't see any flaws. One frown, one smile, one stillness, one movement, she was perfect to the point of being almost unnatural.

  A face that doesn't show its age, yet always says things that are hard to understand and profound.

  My heart aches for her!

  For the first time, Wang Shaokui had such an idea, and also because of this sentence, he felt inexplicably more uncomfortable.

  Feeling the person in her arms was motionless, she relaxed her hold and lifted her head to gaze quietly at Wang Shaokuo. Curious, she asked softly, "Why are you crying?" Just as she was about to reach out to wipe away his tears, Wang Shaokuo hastily rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and replied gruffly, "I'm not crying, the wind just blew over and made my eyes narrow."

  Shen Lue's mouth corners seeped with a smile, and his eyes shone brightly as he nodded: "Mm, didn't cry."

  He reached out, gently hooked around Wang Shaokuo's neck, and leaned in to kiss the corner of his eye, the bridge of his nose, the tip of his nose, all the way down until he finally landed on Wang Shaokuo's lips.

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  It was just a light kiss, but it was enough to make one drunk. After the slightly cold lips left, he said seriously: "Deceiver, try it yourself, your tears are bitter, aren't you unhappy?"

  Wang Shaokuo was taken aback, subconsciously licking his lips, which were full of Shen Lue's taste, and awkwardly said: "Tears aren't all the same flavor, where is there a saying that some are bitter and some are sweet?"

  Shen's eyes sparkled with amusement, her fingertips lightly pressed against Wang Shaokui's chest, and she said: "Shaokui, you have me here, I'm very happy. What do you want to know most about me now, huh?"

  As Shen Yue's tone and movements became more intense, Wang Shaokai could feel his heartbeat accelerating. He blinked at Shen Yue, completely disbelieving his ears.

  "Will you tell me anything I ask and not deceive me?"

  At this moment, she was like a child who had just received Christmas gifts, her expression completely betrayed the joy in her heart.

  Shen nodded slightly and said, "Only one question."

  "How old are you? What's your birthday?"

  This question made Shen Lue's expression slightly hesitant, his eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement as he looked at Wang Shaoke: "Are you sure this is the thing you most want to know?"

  Without hesitation, Wang Shaokuo now really wants to know this woman's real age, and even her birthday.

  Shen slightly sighed, her hands behind her back, and retreated two steps, saying lightly: "Shao Ke, do you know that the thing women dread most is being asked about their age, huh?"

  For a moment, Wang Shaokuo thought Shen Lue was angry. But then he saw Shen Lue turn around and walk two steps before stopping, and a low voice reached his ears: "35 years old, January 5th."

  Wang Shaokuo was stunned, Shen seemed to be about thirty-five years old? Doesn't look like it at all!

  He took a step forward to catch up with Shen Lue, and pulled her back. She looked down at Wang Shaoqiao with a hint of shyness, and a faint blush appeared on her pale and delicate face, which was extremely endearing.

  This was the first time Wang Shaokuo had seen Shen Lue look so embarrassed since he met her, and it left him at a loss for what to do.

  "Is it very old? Hmm?" Shen slightly furrowed his brow and raised his head to ask.

  "Not at all."

  Shen slightly pursed his lips and nodded silently, then asked: "How big is it?"

  "About the same as me, at most a little older than me."

  But Shen Lue's expression looked very light, as if curious about something, Wang Shaoke said: "You don't believe?"

  Shen Lue shook his head and replied: "I just didn't think you'd ask that. I thought you'd ask about Luo Chen's situation."

  Actually, Wang Shaokuo wanted to ask this question which had been haunting her for four and a half years. But at that moment, she suddenly felt an urge to know everything about Shen Lue, even if it was just his birthday.

  Scratching his head and smiling, he said: "I'll figure out this problem on my own, so... compared to these things, I'd rather know more about you."

  At this time, Wang Shaokuo's eyes were shining brightly, reflecting the moonlight and looking exceptionally enchanting, just gazing at these clear and transparent eyes.

  "What a silly girl."

  On the other hand, Si Luo Chen held Xiang Qian Tong's hand and strolled in the park, with a bottle of mineral water in his other hand. Xiang Qian Tong opened it for him and then opened another one, sitting on a bench in the park, looking worried about Wang Shao Ke, asked: "Is everything okay? Leaving them two there?"

  "What could Sha Ke possibly have to do, anyway? He's the boss of a detective agency and has some skills, so safety shouldn't be an issue. As for other things... does Qian Tong want to be a light bulb?" A sly smile spread across his face.

  Qian Tong blinked at Si Luo Chen with a puzzled expression.

  "I may not be as thick-skinned as you in social situations or at work, but trust my instincts on this one." With a confident face, she pursed her lips and took a sip of water.

  This doesn't sound like boasting at all, and after taking a couple of sips, he screwed the lid back on and asked: "You're talking about Shao Ke and Shen Lue's relationship... is it... impossible?"

  Although the relationship with Si Luo Chen is like this, but also dare not believe that the people around will be, a bit hard to believe.

  "There's nothing that can't be done, Shen Yue is like a treasure, buried deep down, and Shao Ke is originally a treasure hunter, isn't it a perfect match?" Si Luo Chen said with a slight curve of his eyes.

  Although acknowledging this logic, she still asked in puzzlement: "Not even knowing Shen Lue's identity, such a mysterious person, I'm worried that Shao Ke... will be taken advantage of." This is the real truth.

  "I think it's a good thing that Wang Shaokuo is at a disadvantage. She likes Holmes, but the woman Holmes liked all his life was Irene, the one who made him forever puzzled. In this regard, she has always been proud of herself, and Shen Lüe is indeed very much in line with her standards for choosing a partner." Listening to this tone, it seems that Si Luochen really enjoys seeing Wang Shaokuo being bullied by Shen Lüe, and is even delighted about it.

  "You're the one who's been elbowing your way out, Sha Ke is our friend." I admire her caution in this regard, but it's still good to remind her.

  "No choice, she did something that made me unhappy, and someone helped me deal with her, I didn't have to take action myself." Si Luo Chen leaned his head on Xiang Qian Tong's shoulder, gazing at the stars in the sky and said faintly: "Shen Lue, abbreviation, this name was a mystery from the start, so everything about this woman is not real, right?"

  Women are born not to be trifled with, because they like to hold grudges. Women like Si Luo Chen cannot be trifled with even more, although he knew she was just joking and wouldn't really do anything, but Xiang Qiong still wiped the sweat for Wang Shao Ke.

  "Then what you said about Shaokui isn't necessarily true either?"

  "Perhaps what she showed him was her true self, women find it hard to deceive themselves emotionally, unless there's a purpose."

  Although Xiang Qiong agreed, she couldn't help but sigh: "Curiosity has killed many a cat since ancient times."

  "But if one doesn't have this curiosity as a human being, and doesn't explore the outcome, wouldn't that be a waste of life?" Si Luo Chen grasped Xiang Qian Tong's hand, answering seriously.

  "What's so strange about Lu Chen?"

  "Really." He straightened up, his eyes curved like a sly little fox staring at Qian Tong and replied, "I'm very curious about your three years in the United States, Qian Tong."

  Qian Tong was taken aback, completely not expecting her to be curious about this.

  Not wanting to see her in trouble, he smiled faintly and said: "However, I'll wait until you want to talk to me before saying anything. If you don't say it, I won't ask."

  The people around her didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, they slowly said to Qian Tong: "There's nothing special to say, if you want to know, I'll say it anyway. It's just... there's one thing, I still don't know how to say it, what to do. So..."

  "Then let's talk about it when you've thought it through."

  Everyone has their own secrets, so to truly understand a person, it's not just about asking them to reveal their secrets.

  Qian Tong smiled comfortingly and said: "And... I'm not sure, one day when Luo Chen finds out, will he still be willing to stay by my side?"

  Reaching out to hold onto Qian Tong's arm, he said intimately: "Then never tell me forever."

  "Alright. I promise you."

  "But one day when Qian Tong believes I won't leave you, remember to tell me, okay?"

  "Uh-huh."

  The one who understands me best is always you.

  Quiet night, always so long, Qi Tong suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to pull Si Luo Chen: "Let's go, we'll find Xiao Ke and the others."

  Si Luo Chen nodded and walked two steps with his hands clasped together when the phone rang, it was Shen Lue.

  Make eye contact and answer the phone.

  "The doctor bought water for a long time." Shen said with a slight smile on the other end of the phone.

  "A bit far."

  "The person has been found, let's just wait for you to come over." Shen said briefly.

  Si Lu Chen glanced at Qian Tong and his expression was slightly surprised, but his tone was very calm: "Miss Shen is indeed efficient."

  "If we're late again, Miss Gu will be in danger, let's meet first and talk about it later."

  "Okay, see you at the park entrance."
