I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?

Shi Chenchen looked at the sketch. The girl in the painting almost perfectly replicated her appearance.

Whether it is the depiction of her facial features or the portrayal of the expression on her face, it looks like a black and white photograph.

Wen Zhi seemed to have memorized her appearance almost perfectly in his mind.

Shi Chenchen took a deep breath and had that strange feeling again, as if he was surrounded by invisible water and had the illusion of being unable to breathe.

Shi Chenchen looked at the painting with a somewhat absent-minded expression.

She hadn't expected that...

In Wen Zhi's eyes, is she really like this?

Her facial features were portrayed in a gentle manner; even the curve of her hair and the angle of her mouth corners appeared exceptionally soft.

However, the "she" in the painting is looking into the distance, and her eyes reveal deep loneliness and coldness.

So, in his eyes, she was actually... like this?

Shi Chenchen was still immersed in the painting until a deep male voice came from behind him.

"The ginger soup is ready."

Wen Zhi carefully brought the ginger soup to the counter, and Shi Chenchen followed Wen Zhi's steps and sat on the other side of the counter.

She took off her coat and put it aside, then took out her cell phone and put it on the counter.

Shi Chenchen's eyelashes drooped, and each distinct eyelash was made a little hazy by the steaming ginger soup.

There are also some wolfberries and white fungus in the ginger soup.

Shi Chenchen didn't like the taste of ginger very much. He looked at the soup and slightly frowned.

Wen Zhi's voice came again.

"I also put some rock sugar in it. You can try it. It shouldn't be too bad."

"If it doesn't taste good, I'll cook something else."

Shi Chenchen put her phone aside, picked up the ginger soup and tried to drink it.

My eyes lit up after drinking it. It was indeed true. Under the cover of sweetness, the original spiciness of ginger was suppressed a lot.

It tastes a lot better.

While drinking, Shi Chenchen looked up at Wen Zhi who was sitting opposite her. Wen Zhi just stared at her with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

But after Shi Chenchen lowered her head again, she didn't notice that Wen Zhidianqi's eyes were almost bottomless.

Wen Zhi didn't say a word, he just looked at her.

The two of them were in this silent atmosphere, but Shi Chenchen's nerves on his back were slightly tense, as if there was a sharp blade at his back, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The familiar scent of pine wood was still lingering around him, along with the damp air. Shi Chenchen felt like a fish in the water that was entangled by a snake and could not breathe.

Before he knew it, Shi Chenchen had finished drinking the ginger soup in front of him, and his body had indeed warmed up a lot.

Shi Chenchen stood up and wanted to take the bowl to the kitchen.

only--

Wen Zhi raised his hand and placed it on her wrist as she was about to pick up the bowl.

His movements looked very gentle, but only Shi Chenchen knew that the five fingers holding her wrist were slowly tightening.

Wen Zhi's voice was flat and contained an invisible pressure as he said:

"Chenchen, don't you want to explain something to me?"

"Like, where did you go tonight? Shouldn't you give me some reason?"

Shi Chenchen raised his eyes and met Wen Zhi's eyes.

This exchange of glances made Shi Chenchen suddenly startled. It was only then that she realized that Wen Zhi's dark eyes were fixed on her, with a dangerous light flashing in them.

Shi Chenchen tried to analyze this emotion. It seemed like a feeling of dissatisfaction that his possessions were no longer his exclusive property.

It's like a strong possessiveness towards the prey you've set your eyes on.

It is a kind of extreme desire for control, where everything must be under one's control.

The emotions in Wen Zhi's eyes were too sharp, and Shi Chenchen subconsciously looked away in embarrassment.

She took a deep breath and turned to meet Wen Zhi's gaze.

Shi Chenchen calmed himself down and said casually, "I... I went to Xiaoqin's house. We agreed to watch the live broadcast together today..."

She wasn't really lying, it was just more than that.

The chandelier above their heads shone warmly between the two of them, illuminating Wen Zhi's slightly gloomy expression, giving a strange and eerie feeling.

Hearing this, Wen Zhi's bony and pale hands were still holding her, and he did not let her go.

On the contrary, Wen Zhi gripped her hand even harder than before.

Under the warm light, Wen Zhi's bloodshot eyes were exposed. Wen Zhi stared at the girl in front of him, trying hard to suppress the crazy thoughts in his heart.

Wen Zhi's eyes became even deeper, and he gently pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic arc.

He was thinking seriously whether his overly gentle approach in the past few years was wrong.

That's why it gave Chenchen an illusion -

He can be dealt with casually.

Maybe he should be tougher.

Suddenly, Wen Zhi grabbed Shi Chenchen's hand and pulled her to his side as she staggered.

The girl's bright and beautiful face was exposed under the light. The warm light formed a hazy edge on the girl's hair, and even the white and small ear tips looked furry.

But this could not hide the fearful expression like a frightened deer in the depths of the girl's beautiful eyes.

Wen Zhi stroked her slightly cold face and said calmly:

"Chenchen, you are lying."

"You know what? Every time you feel guilty, your right ear will twitch uncontrollably."

Even so, he still thought it was cute, but this time...

Wen Zhi lowered his eyes, "Chenchen...you are not behaving well."

At this moment, the cell phone on the table dinged.

The two people's eyes shifted over as the sound came, and the phone screens lit up at this moment.

Shi Chenchen's breathing stagnated, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the phone lock screen showed -

[A message from Yi Xingchen]

as well as……

The phone rang again, and the new message covered the previous one.

——[A message from Gu Wang]

not good! ! !

Shi Chenchen instantly raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, and met Wen Zhi's gaze.

Wen Zhi's dark eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and they were bottomless. He exhaled lightly, his expression was unpredictable, and a hint of mockery rose in his gloomy eyes.

He gently stroked her slightly cold face, and pressed the tip of his thumb against her lips, reflecting a little vermilion.

His eyes fell on the redness, and he was very secretive.

Wen Zhi's cold voice rang out in the empty room. The sound was flat and carried an invisible sense of oppression.

He chuckled softly and said:

"Why don't you open it and see what they sent you?"
