Chapter 543 Touching the bottom line
In the bathtub in the bathroom on the first floor, Xu Zhishan threw multiple bullets at Su Chenyi, but in the end, Xu Zhishan was destined to be the one who got hurt.
Xu Zhishan also knew her own problem. No matter whether Su Chenyi answered it or what his answer was, she would definitely feel sad about it.
Xu Zhishan first asked some simple questions, trying to ease the somewhat tense atmosphere between her and Su Chenyi.
But after hearing the answers to just a few simple questions, she felt as if her heart was blocked and she felt heavy and depressed.
At this moment, she finally asked the question she wanted to know most, which was who did Su Chenyi like? What was his relationship with Jiang Yunhan?
"..."
Su Chenyi frowned, and faced with Xu Zhishan's questioning, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He wanted to tell some cruel lies that Xu Zhishan would find hard to accept, but for some reason he found it difficult to say them.
Xu Zhishan saw that Su Chenyi had a frown on his face, as if he was displeased with her somewhat presumptuous and overly direct questions.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she was a little worried that Su Chenyi would think she was rude, and then push her away angrily, and go back to the days when he didn't want to get close to her.
She suddenly began to regret it. How could she have forgotten that Su Chenyi didn't like others prying into his inner thoughts?!
Xu Zhishan was angry and impulsive, so she wanted to know Su Chenyi's inner thoughts so rudely.
She gradually calmed down in the quiet and low atmosphere, and the feeling of fear was gradually magnified by Su Chenyi's long silence and frown.
Suddenly, she recalled that she and Su Chenyi had become much closer before. One day, she went to Su Chenyi's Yeyi Bar to have a drink with him.
At the bar, Xu Zhishan accidentally saw the somewhat hideous scars left on Su Chenyi's hands from several burns.
So, out of curiosity, she reached out and slowly stroked with her fingertips a small raised and sunken scar on the back of Su Chenyi's hand, which was obviously different from the slightly dry skin around it.
She didn't expect that those scars were caused by a nightmare that Su Chenyi had when he was a child, which took the lives of his parents and almost took his own life.
So, Xu Zhishan asked Su Chenyi the reason without hesitation, and said jokingly with a joking look on her face:
"Huh? Why do you have so many burn scars on your hands?
"Brother Chen, do you often cook for yourself at home? I didn't realize you're a househusband!"
Xu Zhishan, who likes to make people laugh, is used to joking with her good friends.
She would often joke with Su Chenyi, who always had a cold face, hoping to make Su Chenyi smile, even if it was a helpless fake smile.
She thought that Su Chenyi might be forced to give a fake smile as usual to prevent her from continuing with boring jokes.
As a result, after Su Chenyi was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something very unhappy.
Then, Xu Zhishan's hand that was touching Su Chenyi's scar was shaken away, and she received an unhappy look from Su Chenyi, and then she left quickly without looking back.
For a period of time afterwards, because of her curious inquiry, the relationship between her and Su Chenyi seemed to have returned to the period of their cold war, and the distance between them was widened again.
Although Su Chenyi met her, he would not deliberately put on a cold face and say something to make her sad to drive her away like when they first met her.
But even if Su Chenyi would nod and greet her, she could feel that Su Chenyi had built a high wall in his heart, blocking her out.
At that time, Xu Zhishan, who didn't understand Su Chenyi, felt very wronged and didn't know what she had said to offend Su Chenyi.
This caused Xu Zhishan to become cautious when talking to others during that period of time.
She was afraid that she would say something wrong again, like she had offended Su Chenyi, and accidentally offend other people. She also no longer loved to make people laugh in her own way as before.
After a long time, the relationship between Xu Zhishan and Su Chenyi gradually eased, as if they were friends again with whom she could talk about anything.
But Xu Zhishan knew in her heart that Su Chenyi didn't like others to pry into his inner thoughts and didn't like being asked questions about his personal privacy.
She was also afraid that the close relationship she had finally established with Su Chenyi would be displeased by her curiosity and he would distance himself from her again.
Therefore, Xu Zhishan would not take the initiative to ask Su Chenyi about personal matters, which is also why she is so happy when she just learned about Su Chenyi's true favorite color.
If she really wanted to know something about Su Chenyi, she would also look at Su Chenyi's mood, then observe his expression and ask carefully.
At this moment, after her impulse, Xu Zhishan realized that she had crossed the line today.
And she seemed to be too proud for a moment because Su Chenyi took the initiative to tell her his preferences for the first time today.
It was as if she had just seen Su Chenyi, who was almost naked without the dark clothes to cover him, and who made her feel warm. She had forgotten for a moment that Su Chenyi was someone difficult to approach.
Xu Zhishan stepped on the bottom line of Su Chenyi's interactions with others, which she had not dared to touch before, and she stepped on it more than once.
At this moment, her mind suddenly went blank. Every time she forcefully kissed Su Chenyi before, she was not as nervous as she was now.
She looked at her hands that were holding Su Chenyi's face, and she loosened them in fear. She stepped back repeatedly and said in panic:
"If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer. Just go away..."
As soon as Xu Zhishan finished speaking, Su Chenyi looked at Xu Zhishan with a faint expression and said:
"I'll answer you."
"Ok?"
Xu Zhishan didn't react and was still a little confused, so she asked back subconsciously.
Su Chenyi looked straight at Xu Zhishan in front of him, his face still expressionless, and his tone was flat as he said:
"I told you that if you have any questions, just ask them and I will answer them.
Don’t you really want to know the relationship between me and Jiang… Yunhan? I’ll answer you.
