Aim at That Star - Chapter 76

Shen Wencheng’s roommate and landlord are not at home today.

The villa was quiet, and even the thumping of the fish in the fish tank could be heard clearly.

The four people are now sitting in the living room without speaking, as if engaged in a silent confrontation.

On the coffee table are four cups of hot tea, which Lin Shiyu poured.

From boiling water to taking tea leaves to brewing tea, the whole process seems to be done 10,000 times.

Zhuo Yu watched calmly beside him, his heart getting colder and colder.

The box of things she brought was dazzling, and it was piled up at the door at the moment, alongside the big shopping bags they bought themselves.

The contrast is stark and ironic.

In fact, according to Zhuo Yu’s previous temper, when her boyfriend was suspected of cheating, she should cry a lot, throw away Lin Shiyu, come over and take her hand, turn around and leave.

But I don’t know why, this time, she actually held back.

Facing Shen Wencheng’s preemptive questioning, her expression was calm, she raised her head and looked at him, without a tear in her eyes, and her tone was soft: “Jiang Shi came to the UK on business, and I’m here to travel. Knowing that your final exam is over today, I just wanted to come and see you, and just when he was free, he sent me here. What about you, why are you with Sister Lin?”

“…Zhuo Yu, things are not what you think.”

The boy sighed, “Don’t get me wrong, listen to my explanation.”

The transition is really hard.

There is a kind of He Shuhuan-style desire to cover up.

But Zhuo Yu was very understanding.

“Well, I’m not mistaken.”

She is well-behaved and doesn’t cry or make trouble, “You explain it.”

“…Let’s go in and talk, it won’t be good if it rains later.”

Zhuo Yu looked at him for three seconds and nodded, “Okay.”

Jiang Shi neatly closed the car door and locked the car, walking slowly behind Zhuo Yu with a pair of long legs, his expression was more rebellious than rebellious, and he had a domineering and rich second-generation style.

However, the sound of Aston Martin closing the door was really pleasant to the ears of car lovers, and Lin Shiyu couldn’t help but turned his head and looked here a few more times.

Shen Wencheng frowned: “Jiang Shi, go back first, I will send Zhuo Yu back at night.”

“Do not.”

The girl walking at the front suddenly turned her head and refused Jiang Shi’s behalf before he spoke, “Jiang Shi won’t go back, he wants to stay with me and listen to your explanation.”

“… Zhuo Yu, do you know what you’re talking about?”

“I know very well.”

Zhuo Yu insisted, “I have never been more sober this whole year. Anyway, if you want to talk, Jiang Shi must be there.”

Shen Wencheng’s eyes suddenly became a little calmer, and his tone was much lighter, just like every time he communicated with Zhuo Yu before, alienated and cold:

“Then, in what capacity do you think he stayed to listen to our conversation?”

“As my brother.”

The little girl stepped on the steps, and the gloomy weather made her brow darker and her eyes dull.

But surprisingly stubborn: “As you believe it or not, I have a clear conscience anyway.”

“…”

“Shen Wencheng, we’ve been in love for so long, you know that I’m stupid, and I often can’t tell the truth from falsehood. I’ll believe whatever you say. But cheating is very serious to me. I like you no more. , I can’t bear it. So Jiang Shi wants to stay and listen with me. He is smarter than me. If he thinks your explanation is okay, I will believe you. “

Shen Wencheng laughed angrily: “What about Zhuo Yu yourself? Should you also explain to me why you appeared in the UK with him?”

“Well, it should be.”

Zhuo Yu nodded, “Although I came with Jiang Shi, I was playing with another young lady in the UK these few days. Jiang Shi works in London, and I don’t spend more than three hours in London. , all the itineraries can be found, and I can explain clearly what you want to hear.”

“…”

It was the first time that Shen Wencheng didn’t know how to deal with Zhuo Yu who was so insufferable.

In the end, I can only compromise: “Okay, since you have to insist, so be it.”

“whispering sound.”

Jiang Shi had been standing beside him all the time, and he sneered when he heard this.

He glanced at him with a half-smile, then withdrew his gaze, turned the car key and entered the door.

The contempt that goes beyond words without a word is even more unacceptable to Shen Wencheng than Zhuo Yu’s stubbornness.

He didn’t deal with this roommate very much in the first place, and after falling in love with Zhuo Yu, the other party looked down on him even more, but the people around him still thought that Jiang Shi was better than him, which made Shen Wencheng feel ridiculous.

In fact, all the resumes that the other party can get are related to his boss father.

In terms of grades, he was the first in the department, but Jiang Shi began to hover between the third and fourth from the bottom after his sophomore year.

How to compare?

The world view is not at the same level, and many things will not be half meaningless.

Shen Wencheng didn’t bother to waste his energy on this kind of son.

-Yes.

In the past, Shen Wencheng never felt that he was far behind Jiang Shi.

Except for the mixed-race face that my parents gave.

To this day, I have left the campus environment and reunited with my former roommate in a foreign country. The other party is driving a luxury car in a suit and leather shoes, but I don’t even have a driver’s license. Walking two kilometers with the goddess I admire is the only thing I can do. Just to help each other with something.

This comparison made Shen Wencheng feel extremely uncomfortable.

When he was still in F University in China, although he and Jiang Shi were roommates and got along day and night, he didn’t feel much oppression from each other.

He even felt that the gap between himself and Jiang Shi in family background would soon be equalized, and within a few years after graduation, the other party would become a flatterer who would laugh and pour himself a drink at the class reunion.

Because he is not good at reading, he often fails to get normal grades because of skipping classes, and is even picked and criticized by the teacher in front of the whole class.

And every time Zhuo Yu came to him, whenever Jiang Shi was there, he would scold him:

“Jiang Shi, have you passed a few public courses this semester? The credit rankings won’t be second to last, right? Hahaha, even I was better than you in the exam. You are really inferior now.”

“Jiang Shi, did you play the game again until midnight yesterday? Your mother called me, brother, can you turn on a message sound when you play the game?”

“I heard that Mr. Jiang spent a lot of money in the clubhouse yesterday. He paid for the entire box. Tsk tsk tsk. At such a young age, he is so indulgent in alcoholism, be careful of his physical weakness.”

Jiang Shi didn’t refute every time, just waved his hand impatiently and said, “As long as you have a long mouth, you can beep and roll, you don’t have to worry about Laozi’s business.”

“I’m too lazy to care about you, anyway, just don’t hurt my brother Shen.”

At that time, apart from sleeping, Jiang Shi didn’t spend much time in the bedroom.

I don’t have socks to wear and lose a pair, I don’t have rice to eat, and I don’t have a computer. I have never seen a “daily necessities” like Aston Martin.

I usually get along with my roommates and classmates, and my attitudes and behaviors are also normal. In winter, I take a plastic bag to the cafeteria for dinner, collect money to install a net to beat the king, and take a basin to the bathroom to take a bath.

Just a very normal, very normal college student.

Not only Jiang Shi, even if the other conditions in the dormitory were a little better, and the roommates who knew about luxury goods, did not feel too much difference in Jiang Shi.

But as soon as you leave the campus.

When he took off his hoodie, slacks, and sneakers, and stood face to face on the street, Shen Wencheng suddenly felt the so-called “sense of class”.

Different from heaven and earth, feel ashamed.

Since I attended Jiang Shi’s birthday banquet that day, for the second time, I felt as if I had fallen to the bottom of the valley.

The boy stopped when he passed him, raised his eyebrows slightly: “Don’t stare at me.”

His tone was absurd and mocking: “Brother, your life and death are now in my hands, can you be honest? If you make me unhappy again, you and Zhuo Yu will decide.”

“…”

Seeing his triumphant appearance, Shen Wencheng was very angry.

He really wanted to share the points. It was Zhuo Yu who insisted on being with him at the beginning, and it wasn’t her who was chasing after him, but for some reason, the words were all on his lips, but he just couldn’t say them.

Jiang Shi gave him a contemptuous smile, followed behind Xie Yu, and stepped into the courtyard of the villa.

Shen Wencheng clenched his fists.

He was suddenly lightly tapped on the shoulder, he turned his head and met Lin Shiyu’s beautiful eyes like peach blossoms.

“don’t worry.”

Her voice was soft and soft, “I’ve been in contact with Zhuo Yu before. She’s not the kind of person who makes trouble out of nowhere. If you explain it well, she’ll definitely be able to listen.”

……

Shen Wencheng and Lin Shiyu were indeed innocent at this time.

Although I often give her gifts, I invite her to eat and walk, and they get together to accompany each other during New Years and festivals.

But, from a regular process, they really haven’t crossed that line.

Maybe it’s a fellow alumni, maybe a friend and confidant, anyway, it hasn’t developed into a formal boyfriend and girlfriend.

The most intimate act is holding hands and hugging—the kind that are perfectly fine with friends.

And even, Lin Shiyu has a stable boyfriend.

I am also studying in Europe. Although it is not the same country, it is not far away. I often come to visit Lin Shiyu on weekends, and many of my classmates have seen it.

The reason why I didn’t come this week is that I went home early because of something in the country.

— This reality is too convincing.

To a certain extent, the fact that Lin Shiyu has a boyfriend is more convincing to Zhuo Yu than the reason that “Shen Wencheng is a man of integrity”.

She saved others by herself, plus she had chosen the same yoga class with Lin Shiyu and had contact with her. Judging by instinct, she felt that the other party was not a person who would engage in cheating.

Perhaps seeing the wavering on Zhuo Yu’s face, Shen Wencheng became more assertive the more he spoke, and there was even a bit of accusation in his faint eyes.

As if alluding to her being vexatious.

“…Today there is a discount in the supermarket. We made an appointment to go shopping. My roommate was there, but because he had an appointment at night, he didn’t come back with us. Well, those two bags belonged to him. “

The man rubbed his brows and seemed to be a little tired after explaining, “Lin Shiyu lives far away, and things are heavy. After all, they are all friends. I can’t help you. It’s all about this, the two of us. I don’t have anyone at home, so I can just cook a dinner together to save time and effort. For overseas students, this is a normal thing, and I don’t understand why you react so much.”

“…”

Zhuo Yu had already believed most of it.

It’s just that Shen Wencheng’s aggressiveness made her a little at a loss, and she turned to look at Jiang Shi subconsciously.

Jiang Shi leaned against the back of the sofa and turned the car keys one by one, drooping his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

After half a minute, he nodded: “Okay, I’ve listened to the explanation, and I’ll tell you the specific answer when we go back and discuss it.”

After saying that, he stood up, grabbed Zhuo Yu’s arm and wanted to leave.

“Jiang Shi!”

Shen Wencheng stopped him in a deep voice, his brows stern, “Who do you think of yourself now? I am willing to let you stay here to satisfy the justice you want, but it doesn’t mean you are qualified to be so unscrupulous in me. Manipulating Zhuo Yu in front of you, figure it out, I’m her boyfriend!”

Jiang Shi’s footsteps stopped.

He curved his lips; “Of course I know you are her boyfriend. But am I also her confidant alumni and compatriot? When the emotional situation is chaotic, I can’t advise her on the character of her other half? What, you The relationship with you, classmate Lin, is pure friendship, but not me and Zhuo Yu? Shen Wencheng, don’t be too double-standard as a person.”

“…”

He curled his lips: “Don’t worry, just come and stay with us in the hotel, don’t worry about money, Zhuo Yu has spent so much money on you for more than a year, and it’s not less than a day or two. Room rate.”

“…”

Shen Wencheng clenched his fists and stared at him without saying a word.

“gone.”

With a dashing wave of his hand, the boy pulled Zhuo Yu and walked straight out without even a single glance.

But when they were about to leave, Shen Wencheng chased after them.

Carrying the box of snacks and seasonings that Zhuo Yu brought over in his hand, his expression was light and his tone was solemn: “Thank you for bringing me so many things, but I’ll be back home soon, and I can’t finish it, so you should bring it back. Well, or as a gift for other classmates.”

……drunk.

Careless, small stomach and chicken intestines, little kindness and little affection.

Why did Zhuo Yu fall in love with this kind of man?

Jiang Shi sneered silently, a bit of anger already appeared in his eyes, and he opened the door and got out of the car.

Zhuo Yu originally wanted to follow, but was blocked by Jiang Shi’s “bang” closing the car door, his eyebrows indifferent: “If you still have a little backbone, just be honest with me.”

“…”

Shen Wencheng frowned: “What are you doing?”

“Nothing, just a few words with you.”

Jiang Shi kicked away the suitcase beside his legs.

The four wheels slid far away on the ground and slammed into the neighbor’s flower bed.

“Jiang Shi!”

“Don’t yell at me.”

The boy interrupted him irritably, “Shen Wencheng, you’d better make it clear to me, you are just a plaything of my sister. It’s enough to let her experience the ups and downs of falling in love, don’t overdo it, understand? “

Shen Wencheng raised his head in astonishment, feeling very absurd: “Jiang Shi, are you threatening me? Why do you think you can…”

“Why do you care about me?”

Jiang Shi looked down at him, his eyes were gloomy, and his voice was cold, “Anyway, your relationship is not bad, my sister is generous, and I have spent a lot of money on you this year, and I can coax you when I am in a good mood. A few words, you stay honest, and it’s up to you to get angry occasionally, just don’t take yourself as a character, understand?”
