Dead but not stiff

Chapter 16 Chapter 16

In the following week, Shen Bai was whipped by various incidents like a spinning top. It can be said that he woke up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog.But he didn't forget to order takeaway at home at six or seven o'clock every night. The dishes are different every day, but they are basically light dishes.Gu Xien was sent home by the driver at around 06:30 every day, and the doorbell rang around seven o'clock on time, and the enthusiastic face of the delivery boy appeared in the cat's eyes.

Gu Xien endured it for two days, and called Shen Bai directly on the third day.

"Stop ordering takeaway for me, are you raising me like a child?"

There was a meeting at Shen Bai's side, and when he received a call from Gu Xi'en, it was Gu Xien who said in a low voice, "Hey, eat well at home. If you want to eat something else, tell me, we can change it tomorrow. "

All the senior executives in the conference room had question marks on their faces. Mr. Shen is not married yet with his nice voice and patient coaxing appearance?When will you have a child?

When Friday came, Shen Bai was called home again by his parents. He originally wanted to make an excuse not to go back, but he heard from Shen's father that Shen Xi's family was also there. Be careful to say what you missed, and go with the mood of saving the scene like putting out a fire.

When they got home, they found that not only Shen Xi's family was there, but also Wu's father and daughter.

Shen Xi's mother, also Shen Bai's second aunt, was cooking dinner for the whole family with Shen's mother in the kitchen, while Shen's father and his second uncle were fighting around the chessboard, while Wu's father was watching from the sidelines.Shen Xi nestled on the sofa, eating potato chips and watching TV. Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Bai opened the door and came in. He jumped up from the sofa and shouted loudly, "Brother!"

With her voice, the eyes of several other people in the living room were focused on Shen Bai, and Shen Bai, who felt like walking on a red carpet, smiled unhurriedly, and said casually: "They are all here."

Father Shen snorted heavily, Second Uncle Shen winked at Shen Bai, Shen Bai understood, walked to his father with strides, stretched out his hands to squeeze the old man's shoulders, and said while doing it: "Oh, Dad, you are in a good position!" win."

Father Shen slapped Shen Bai's hand, and still said angrily: "I think you almost forgot that you still have this family."

Shen Bai joked and said with a smile: "Father, what you said is like a resentful woman who stays alone in an empty room."

Father Shen stretched out his hand and slapped Shen Bai on the back of his hand again, "Is there such a metaphor for you?"

Shen Xi jumped off the sofa, ran over to pull Shen Bai, and said to Shen's father: "Uncle, let me borrow it from my brother first, and save it for you to beat and scold me all the time. After dinner, we will have an after-dinner show. "

Shen's father has always loved Shen Xi, his face turned pale, and he waved his hand at Shen Bai, "Get out, don't disturb me playing chess, and I'll settle the score with you later."

Shen Bai was pulled to the side of the sofa by Shen Xi, and she pouted towards the kitchen and asked Shen Bai: "That woman over there is the girlfriend my uncle and the others arranged for you?"

Shen Bai replied disapprovingly, "They like to make troubles, I don't agree."

"Then what are you going to do?" Shen Xi looked at him with bright eyes, clearly looking like he was watching a good show.

"Cold salad." Shen Bai sat down on the sofa, picked up Shen Xi's potato chips on the coffee table, ate two bites, and said to her: "I said, Shen Xi, you can't protect yourself even if you cross the river with mud. Eating melons and watching a show?”

As if his tail had been lit, Shen Xi asked in surprise, "What's wrong with me?"

"It's unpalatable." Shen Bai despised the taste of Shen Xi's choice of potato chips, and said calmly: "Does my second uncle know about your boyfriend?"

"I——" Shen Xi stuck the word "I" in his mouth, stretched out his leg and kicked Shen Bai's calf, and muttered softly: "I'll just tell them, it's not a big deal."

Shen Bai: "Tell them, they will definitely start to make arrangements for you about the future, such as arranging a meeting between your parents, and calculating whether your two personalities are compatible. After all, you have indeed passed the legal marriage age. But Shen Xi, you Are you ready to treat your current boyfriend as a lover who will spend your whole life together?"

"I'm still in college..." Shen Xi wrinkled her nose and pouted.

"But you are already an adult, capable and obliged to bear the price for the decisions you make."

Shen Xi continued to struggle: "If you don't talk about one, you will definitely get married in the end and live your whole life..."

"But when you were talking with this person, you thought so, didn't you?" Shen Bai looked at her with deep eyes, and Shen Xi almost didn't recognize this person in an instant.

"I..." Shen Xi held me for a long time and couldn't come out. Finally, he reached out and scratched his hair, stomping his feet angrily: "Oh, you're so annoying, I don't want to think about it now."

"Look, when encountering difficulties, the first choice is to escape, and you said that you have grown up. I think you are still naive."

"What about you?" Shen Xi suddenly shot back, "You and that..." He quickly lowered his voice when he said this, and then said: "...My sister-in-law, what are you going to do? You have to plan more Well, my uncle hasn't passed this test yet, so it's still a waste of effort."

"You don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself." Shen Bai threw the bag of potato chips on the coffee table, took the remote control and changed the station.

"Cut, stinky fart." Shen Xi rolled his eyes at him, sat down on the edge of the sofa, kicked off the slippers and stretched his legs on Shen Bai's lap.

Shen Bai slapped her down: "What are you doing, it's not big or small."

"Hey!" Shen Xi looked at him in disbelief: "I used to do this a lot when I was a child, why is it that I'm not old or young all of a sudden?"

"It's different now," Shen Baiyu said earnestly, "First, you're a big girl now, so it's unsightly to do this; second, and most importantly, this leg now belongs to your sister-in-law, and others don't allow it." Can't touch."

Shen Xi kicked up, "Go to hell."

While talking, Wu Jiaying came out of the kitchen and came straight to Shen Bai's side. Shen Xi saw it first and immediately winked at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai turned his head, facing Wu Jiaying's smiling face, and said to him in a soft and virtuous manner, "Are you back? Are you busy with work recently?"

Shen Bai & Shen Xi: ...What's the matter with this mistress' tone?

Shen Bai responded vaguely, and shifted his gaze to the TV, not wanting to communicate with her too much.

Wu Jiaying's reluctant smile finally faded away. She pursed her lips and bit her lower lip. Just as Shen Xi was about to speak, she heard Shen's father shout: "Xixi, come here."

Shen Xi looked at Shen Bai, with an expression that I couldn't save you, and ran to Shen's father with a hey.

After readjusting her facial expression, Wu Jiaying walked to Shen Xi's position and sat down, looked down at Shen Bai, and said in a sad tone, "Do you hate me?"

Shen Bai's gaze remained on the TV screen without moving away, and he paused for a few seconds before answering her question: "Let's put it this way, Ms. Wu, if your identity is not the blind date my parents forcibly arranged for me, I will Maybe I still have some good feelings for you."

Wu Jiaying's eyes widened a little when she heard this, and she said eagerly, "Then you can treat me not as a blind date arranged by your parents, but as an ordinary friend, can't you?"

"No." Only then did Shen Bai look at her and smiled, and nodded his head with his hand: "I'm not out of my mind."

"Shen Bai, you are so ruthless." Wu Jiaying said this suddenly, with some strange emotions in her eyes.

"My feelings are very limited, so I don't want to waste them on people or things I don't like. Please forgive me for this point."

Wu Jiaying stood up abruptly, paused for a moment, and finally walked away without saying a word.

Shen Xi ran back and couldn't wait to ask Shen Bai: "What were you talking about just now?"

Shen Bai shrugged, "It's nothing, it's just me acting out how to reject a strange woman's pursuit."

"Cut," Shen Xi rolled his eyes at him in disgust, "See if you can do it, why don't you go to heaven?"

Shen Bai didn't know what he thought of, he suddenly laughed softly, then rubbed his stomach, turned his body and looked towards the kitchen: "The meal is not ready yet? I'm a little hungry."

Shen Xi grabbed the bag of potato chips and threw it into his arms, "Eat."

Shen Bai took it away in disgust, "Junk food, you should eat less."

"It's coming again, but I'm curious, my sister-in-law can bear your nagging nature?"

"What can he do if he can't bear it, and he can't beat me."

As soon as the voice on this side fell, Shen Bai's cell phone dinged to indicate that there was a WeChat message coming in, he picked it up and clicked on it to read the message, Shen Xi quickly moved his head towards it.

I saw Gu Xi'en sent him a picture of tonight's takeaway dinner, a table full of Cantonese dishes, and attached a sentence: Shen Bai, are you sick because you call so many?Go back and eat by yourself.

With an expression of scratching someone's pretentious face, Shen Xi suppressed a smile and said, "Didn't you still cry hungry just now? Go back and eat."

Shen Bai: "..."

During dinner, Shen's father deliberately arranged Shen Bai and Wu Jiaying's seats together, and they kept throwing topics at the dinner table. Shen Xi buried his face in the bowl as if he wanted to suffocate himself. The two aunts didn't know why, so they had no choice but to go along with their elder brother's words, and completely regarded Wu Jiaying as Shen Bai's unmarried wife.

"Dad." Shen Bai finally put down his chopsticks, looked at his father solemnly, and said, "In front of my second uncle, aunt, and outsiders, I don't want to speak too harshly. What do I mean? I told you before." Express, I hope you will understand as soon as possible, don't involve outsiders, and don't force me anymore."

The weird atmosphere on the table dropped to freezing point in an instant, and Shen Xi finally lifted his face from the bowl, looking at Shen Bai as if he was watching a warrior blowing up a bunker.

"What do you mean?" Father Shen asked bluntly with a gloomy face.

"What do I mean, don't you know Dad?" Shen Bai stood up, "I know that at this age, a major marriage event can make the relationship between children and parents more and more difficult. The two sides are like two armies It’s like a war, you enter and retreat, you fight wits and bravery, and in the end you even forget what your original intention is. Why do we want to start a family? Is it for the sake of starting a family? Even if the other party is not the person you think is suitable for you? " Having said that, he turned to Wu Jiaying again, "Miss Wu, I didn't mean to belittle you, but I want you to understand that it is impossible for me and you to get married. It's like a screw and a nut. I don't match you, so I twist it forcibly." Going up will only hurt others and yourself, I reject you now, but also to protect you, I hope you can understand."

"You!" Shen's father slapped the table and stood up, Shen's mother pulled him beside him, and comforted her husband while beckoning her son to sit down: "Okay, okay, both of you sit down first."

"I won't sit down anymore." Shen Bai moved the chair away, and under Father Shen's bearded and staring expression, he continued, "It's my fault that everyone didn't enjoy this meal tonight, but the root cause is not mine. I don’t want to be forced to do things by others, and it’s a major event related to my happiness in the rest of my life. There is nothing that I have to do when I reach a certain age, only when I meet someone under a certain opportunity, I want to do it Things, life and love should be like this. This is my position, I hope you can understand. Of course, if you can't understand, I won't do things according to your wishes. "

After he finished speaking, under the attention of a table of people with different faces, he went straight to the entrance, picked up the coat on the hanger, opened the door and walked out.

The people at the table who stayed behind looked at each other, Wu Jiaying looked like she was about to cry with her head down, Wu's father also looked embarrassed, Shen's father was trembling with anger, his face was livid, Shen's mother kept patting his back to comfort him .Second Aunt Shen hurriedly gave Shen Xi a wink, Shen Xi took the order, got off the stool, ran to the entrance to change her slippers and chased him out.

As expected, Shen Bai's car hadn't left yet, Shen Xi ran over, saw Shen Bai sitting in the driver's seat in a daze through the window, turned the car door and found it was locked, then slammed on the door hard.

Shen Bai unlocked the car door, Shen Xi sat in, patted his chest as soon as he got up, and exaggeratedly said: "Fuck, I was scared to death just now, I was so afraid that uncle would suddenly lift the table, I'm wearing it today new clothes."

Shen Bai: "..." What are you thinking about?

"However, you were really awesome just now. Uncle must have been surprised by you too." Shen Xi analyzed.

The night in November finally started to feel a little chilly. Shen Xi hurriedly chased him out wearing only a single shirt. Shen Bai turned on the air conditioner and adjusted it to a suitable temperature. The two elders came out of the closet, and the one-time stimulation was too great."

"I really admire you more and more." Shen Xi shook his head, and then asked: "Then what are you going to do now? Just leave?"

"Aren't you going to wait for your uncle to lift the table?"

Shen Xi said excitedly: "Then can I go to your place tonight?"

Shen Bai refused without thinking: "No way."

Shen Xi had a bitter face: "Why?"

"Because you're plotting something wrong."

Shen Xi: "I just want to communicate more with my sister-in-law."

"Do you need to communicate with each other?"

Shen Xi started to roll around, "I don't care, I don't care, my mother asked me to come out to comfort you, if you ignore me, I can only sell matches."

Shen Bai looked impatient: "Sit down, seat belt."

Shen Xi sat up straight, "Going to your house?"

Shen Bai started the car, turned the steering wheel, "I'll take you to sell matches."

This girl Shen Xi is a very typical stern and soft-hearted girl, she talked about communicating her feelings with her sister-in-law, when she arrived at Shen Bai's apartment, she saw Gu Xien, she stopped her flag on the spot, she could only haw and haw to say hello, she didn't know how to continue.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Bai spared no effort to criticize him: "Isn't it communicating feelings? You don't even open your mouth, are you communicating with ventriloquist?"

Shen Xi glanced at him at the right angle, and heard Shen Bai say to Gu Xi'en: "This annoying spirit has to come, I can't stop it, but don't worry about her, just let her sleep on the sofa for a while."

Gu Xien smiled and said good evening to Shen Xi, and when she heard Shen Bai say this, she asked doubtfully, "Shen Xi is sleeping on the sofa, where do you sleep?"

Shen Xi's ears immediately perked up, but she saw Shen Bai walking in three steps at a time, and said to Gu Xi'en in a low voice: "The little girl is here, you let me sleep in the bedroom tonight, I am justified, Shouldn't the treatment be upgraded accordingly?"

Gu Xien was enveloped by his taller figure, stepped back and stared at him vigilantly, Shen Bai raised his hands: "I promise, just sleep and do nothing else."

Shen Xi watched the two of them whispering there, and fed anxiously but hesitantly, Shen Bai turned to her and said, "Why are you standing at the door, why don't you come in."

Shen Xi took out slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on on his own, ran to the sofa and looked at the two of them, and asked, "Brother, do you usually sleep on the sofa?"

Shen Bai argued: "Who did you listen to?"

Shen Xi was inexplicable: "What my sister-in-law just said, you lost your memory?"

Shen Bai looked at Gu Xien, Gu Xien had a half-smile.

"I sleep on the sofa because..." Shen Bai continued to argue: "The interior design of this sofa is very ergonomic, with proper softness and hardness, which makes it more comfortable. My cervical spine is not very good recently, so sleeping on the sofa can be used as physical therapy."

Sofa: I can fuck you.

Gu Xi'en didn't bother to talk to him, turned his eyes to Shen Xi, and asked what she meant: "Where do you want to sleep?"

Shen Xi knew that there was no guest room in Shen Bai's house, so she could only choose to sleep on the sofa, so she said very obediently: "I'll just sleep on the sofa."

Gu Xien said hello, and then asked Shen Bai: "Is there any extra quilt?"

Shen Bai nodded his head, and ran to the bedroom voluntarily, and came out with a quilt in his arms after a while, threw it on the sofa, and said to Shen Xi: "Hurry up and go to sleep."

Shen Xi resisted the urge to strangle him, and said angrily, "I don't have pajamas."

Shen Bai stared at her: "It's okay to sleep for a while, you treat this as your own home."

Shen Xi yelled: "I can't sleep without changing my clothes."

Shen Bai blew his beard and stared: "Did I force you to come here? Did you blame me for not bringing your pajamas?"

Shen Xi lowered her arrogance and muttered in a low voice: "I forgot..."

"Then bear with it."

Gu Xien thought for a moment, and said to the two who were facing each other like fighting cocks: "I'll go out for a while."

Shen Xi was terrified: What the hell is going on, the first day you came to your cousin's house, you made your sister-in-law so angry that she ran away from home?

Shen Bai asked eagerly, "Why are you going so late?"

Gu Xien, who had already reached the door, replied: "I'll be back in a while." Then he opened the door and disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

Shen Bai glared at Shen Xi, and Shen Xi was extremely wronged: "I'm also very confused. But don't you want to chase it out and have a look?"

Shen Bai hesitated, and finally said: "Forget it, he won't lose his temper for no reason, and he will probably be back in a while."

Shen Xi: "???" I was caught off guard and fed a mouthful of dog food.

Sure enough, after waiting for about five or six minutes, the door lock rang, and then Gu Xien came in with a set of pink and blue women's pajamas in his arms.

He walked over under the stunned expressions of the brothers and sisters, handed the pajamas to Shen Xi, and said softly: "I borrowed a set from the neighbor downstairs, you can change it."

Shen Xi's crazy OS: Fuck, this sister-in-law is really gentle, virtuous and witty.

After taking a bath and changing into pajamas, Shen Xi pushed open the bathroom door and came out, only to find that the huge living room was empty, and the door of the next bedroom was closed.

There was a battle between heaven and man in her mind, but finally she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she went to the bedroom door and knocked.

After waiting for five or six seconds, Shen Bai opened the door, with an expression on his face that something good had been interrupted, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing again?"

Shen Xi stood on tiptoe, trying to look inside over Chen Bai's shoulder, but Shen Bai blocked her sight, "What are you staring at? You are a big girl, don't you know if men and women can kiss each other?"

Shen Xi: "Where is my sister-in-law?"

Shen Bai frowned: "Is this what you should care about?"

Shen Xi argued hard: "My sister-in-law borrowed pajamas for me, shouldn't I thank you?"

Shen Bai waved at her like chasing flies: "Go, go, I'll thank you for you."

Then he closed the bedroom door with a bang in front of Shen Xi, and then simply locked it from the inside.

Gu Xien was sitting on the single sofa by the French window in the bedroom looking at his mobile phone, when he heard the sound of the lock being locked, he raised his head and looked at Shen Bai vigilantly.

Shen Bai immediately defended himself: "I'm afraid that the girl will break into it without thinking, so it's safer to lock it."

Gu Xien asked: "Then you're not going out to take a shower?"

Shen Bai was choked, hesitantly asked: "What will happen if I don't take a bath?"

Gu Xian: "Then you can sleep on the floor."

Shen Bai grasped the point precisely: "You mean I can sleep on the bed after taking a shower, right?"

Without giving Gu Xien any chance to deny it, Shen Bai has already rushed to the bathroom and took a fighting shower in 3 minutes.Under Shen Xi's stunned and disdainful eyes, with her wet hair on her head, she wrapped her nightgown and rushed back to the bedroom, closed the door and jumped on the bed, then patted the bed, and said to Gu Xien who was still sitting on the sofa: " Come on, dear."

Gu Xian: "..."

He stared at Shen Bai, and suddenly said: "Don't move." Under Shen Bai's puzzled gaze, he raised the phone, clicked, and perfectly fixed the posture of the person in front of him at the moment.

Shen Bai jumped out of the bed, and rushed over like a big wolf dog. With his height and physique advantages, he snatched Gu Xien's cell phone, and directly circled him into the sofa.Just after taking a bath, the male hormone smell of shower gel was sprayed directly on Gu Xien's face. His aggressive eyes gradually appeared, and he locked on Gu Xien's face scorchingly. He said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Gu Xien, You recruited me again."

Gu Xien, who was imprisoned in his arms: "...Why don't I just take a picture?"

Shen Bai's arrogant arrogance only lasted for a second, and the next moment he turned into a wronged daughter-in-law: "I am already in front of you, why do you still take pictures?"

Gu Xi'en patiently explained: "No." He took the phone back from Shen Bai's hand, and opened it for the other party to see, "I just think that your posture just now is very similar to an emoji on the Internet."

Shen Bai: "..." I'm already here, what emoticons are you still thinking about? !

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to Mr. Shen for mentioning the emoji package
