Chapter 83 What do you think?
After Gao Jie entered the factory, she asked someone for directions to the technical department. Factory 306 was too big, and it was her first time there. She wandered around and got lost. Somehow, she turned into a tree-lined avenue. It was rush hour, and there were many people on the main road, but there wasn't a soul in sight on the tree-lined avenue.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep walking, hoping to run into someone and ask for directions.
As she walked, she saw two people standing under a big tree ahead. One of them looked very familiar to her—who else could it be but her son, Cheng Zheng?
He cornered a woman under a tree, holding an oil paper bag in his hand, which seemed to contain some food and was steaming.
The woman tried to walk around him to the left, but he blocked her way to the right.
If someone goes right, he goes left, basically blocking them in place.
Finally, the woman stomped her foot in anger, leaned against the tree trunk, and glared at him with her puffed-up face.
It was this simple act of tilting her head back that made Gao Jie realize that the woman was actually Shen Qing!
Gao Jie didn't rush forward. She quickly found a tree nearby to hide under and secretly peeked at the two of them.
She wanted to see what was going on between the two of them!
Not far away, Lin Shuyao was cornered by Cheng Zheng under a tree.
His tall figure loomed over her, his dark, deep eyes fixed on her snow-white face, which was flushed with rosy hues.
"Have you fully recovered? When will shooting training begin?"
Lin Shuyao tilted her delicate chin at him haughtily: "You don't need to worry about me. Li Wei can also shoot. I can have him teach me."
Cheng Zheng's eyes darkened for a moment: "I'm the instructor, my teaching is more standardized, and you'll improve faster."
Lin Shuyao said with a cold expression, "I have plenty of time; I can learn slowly."
Cheng Zheng: "I can take you to the shooting range to practice."
Lin Shuyao couldn't refute this point, so she shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Cheng Zheng raised his hand and handed her the oil paper bag: "Take this and eat it. I bought it on my way this morning."
Lin Shuyao puffed out her cheeks and turned her head to the side: "I don't want it. Tingting will bring it for me, I don't want you to buy it."
I guess it was something I brought for Su Wan, so I sent her one too.
But this smells really good; it seems to be from Hu Ji Baozi Shop, which isn't far from the factory.
Lin Shuyao couldn't resist glancing at the oil paper bag in front of her. The steaming white buns looked delicious. She secretly smacked her lips, then forced herself to keep them closed, forcing herself not to look at the buns or smell their aroma.
However, Gao Tingting promised to bring her steamed buns every Wednesday, so why hasn't she come yet? Could she have forgotten?
Lin Shuyao looked towards the factory gate, her gaze somewhat puzzled.
Cheng Zheng said, "Don't wait any longer. By the time Gao Tingting gets to the steamed bun shop, they'll be sold out."
"How did you know?" Lin Shuyao opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and turned to look at him in astonishment.
Cheng Zheng: "She got up late today. She wasn't up when I left."
Lin Shuyao was startled again; these words were too ambiguous, as if the two of them were living together.
She stared at him with a strange look in her eyes.
Cheng Zheng, seeing her changing expressions, roughly guessed what she was thinking and explained, "Don't misunderstand, Gao Tingting is my younger sister. We live together. She has my mother's surname, and I have my father's surname. To avoid suspicion, not many people in the factory know about my relationship with her. She didn't tell you before because I told her not to."
What?
"You...you're siblings?!" Lin Shuyao was stunned for a full five seconds before she reacted. Her heart felt like it had been stabbed; it wasn't surprise but shock.
The feeling of being betrayed.
Cheng Zheng nodded, reaffirming his agreement.
Good heavens!
Lin Shuyao's expression instantly became indescribable.
Thinking about the emotional topics she had confided in Gao Tingting before, she felt as if she were standing naked in front of Cheng Zheng, having revealed everything to him.
simply……
It's so shameful, so embarrassing!
She bit her lip hard, her whole body flushed red, and her scalp tingled.
"I, you, she...she didn't say anything to you, did she?"
She was so embarrassed that her tongue started to tie itself in knots, and her heart was pounding.
"What did you say?" Cheng Zheng raised an eyebrow, looking at her flushed face.
"N-nothing." Lin Shuyao guiltily looked away and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Gao Tingting still had some sisterly affection and didn't betray her.
"Take this bun and eat it, it'll get cold if you don't eat it soon."
Cheng Zheng held the oil paper bag out in front of her. Lin Shuyao lifted her eyelids and glanced at the buns. They did seem to have stopped steaming.
"Never mind, the steamed bun is innocent." She hesitated before reaching out to take it, and then realized that the paper bag was quite heavy.
"How many did you buy?"
"Not enough to eat?"
Lin Shuyao looked down and counted. There was nothing not enough to eat; it was enough for two people.
"Do you feed pigs? You bought so many."
I'm afraid you're not enough.
"Did Gao Tingting tell you this too?" There was nothing she could do; she was now paranoid, since Gao Tingting had lied to her.
Cheng Zheng smiled and said seriously, "She didn't say."
"Oh." Lin Shuyao lowered her head and bit into the bun, taking small bites and eating slowly and delicately.
She was almost full after eating two and a half buns, and was now struggling with the remaining five and a half.
"Have you had breakfast?" she asked Cheng Zheng.
"Not eating anymore?" Cheng Zheng had eaten with her before and knew that she had a big appetite, with big eyes but a small stomach. She wanted to try all kinds of delicious food, but could only eat a few bites before she couldn't eat anymore.
"Yes." Lin Shuyao nodded honestly.
"Give it to me." Cheng Zheng reached out and took them, finishing them off in a few bites. There was one left that she had bitten half of; it was filled with fresh meat, which she didn't like.
"Hey, let's throw away that half, I... I've already eaten it..."
"What a waste." Cheng Zheng didn't even blink before naturally putting it into his mouth.
Lin Shuyao stared at his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed and the veins on his neck throbbing. Suddenly, she wondered if he had also eaten what Su Wan had left over.
Thinking this, she immediately looked away, lowered her eyes to stare at her toes, her brow furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat annoyed.
The annoying thing is that she has already decided not to pursue him anymore, but the thought that he doesn't mind Su Wan eating the same things makes her feel a little bitter and uncomfortable.
Cheng Zheng noticed that she seemed a little off: "What do you want for breakfast tomorrow? I'll bring it to you from outside."
Lin Shuyao raised her head, her jade-like face turning somewhat cold: "No need, don't bring me any more in the future."
"Why?" Cheng Zheng's eyes darkened as he stared into hers.
Lin Shuyao's lips curled slightly, a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "Do you treat every woman this well?"
"Each one?" Cheng Zheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing confusion.
"Never mind," Lin Shuyao said, too lazy to waste her breath. Besides, bringing it up would only make her seem like she cared. She took out a few food coupons and some money from her bag and stuffed them into his hand. "This is for the steamed buns. Thank you for doing it for me this morning. It's almost time for work, so I'll be going now."
After handing over the money, she was about to leave when Cheng Zheng grabbed her wrist. "What did you mean by what you just said? Explain yourself."
"It doesn't mean anything." Lin Shuyao's face turned frosty, her cherry-red lips stubbornly pursed, and she said no more.
"Then why are you unhappy?" Cheng Zheng tightened his grip on her wrist slightly, his gaze falling on her cold and aloof yet still incredibly beautiful face. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was lower and deeper than before.
Lin Shuyao retorted, "Does my happiness or unhappiness matter to you?"
"Um."
Cheng Zheng answered without hesitation, his gaze fixed on her, giving her no room to dodge. "So why were you unhappy just now?"
Lin Shuyao tried to pull her wrist away, but he held on too tightly. She couldn't break free. Meeting his deep gaze, she felt a little flustered and opened her mouth to say, "Because you brought breakfast for Su Wan, and now you're bringing it for me..."
Her voice carried a hint of grievance that she herself was unaware of.
But as soon as she said it, she regretted it; it sounded like she was just jealous.
"That's not what I meant. Anyway, I don't like it this way." She turned her head away, avoiding his intense gaze, her eyes fixed on a certain emptiness.
Cheng Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice lowered, becoming somewhat hoarse: "I gave it to Su Wan because she had an emotional breakdown and fainted. I'm her superior, it's my duty."
"I'll bring it to you," he paused, his gaze deepening, "It's not my duty."
Lin Shuyao's heart skipped a beat under his gaze. Something seemed to be slowly surging deep within those usually calm and composed dark eyes. She instinctively asked, "What is it?"
Cheng Zheng pulled her closer, his hand tightening around her. Looking into her bright, cat-like eyes and slightly parted red lips, he spoke slowly and deeply, his voice carrying a seductive and alluring tone: "What do you think? Why is it?"
Lin Shuyao's eyes trembled slightly, and her delicate lips pursed very lightly. She had an answer in her heart, but she was not sure.
