Chapter 143: Life is longer than you think

  In the silent room, two people stood face to face.

Jian Shangwen stood there, calmly looking into Shen Yi's eyes. He half leaned against the table, looking at the tall and noble man in front of him. Shen Yi, as a person, usually did not have any aggressive sense of strength. He always looked lazy, but now, when Jian Shangwen's voice fell, Shen Yi's expression finally changed. The careless and willful feeling of the past faded away, and his eyes were low and dark, looking at Jian Shangwen without blinking. 

When Shen Yi spoke, the voice was almost gentle, but with an aura that could not be concealed. He said: "Jian Shangwen, life is long, don't say things too deadly."

Jian Shangwen paused, and a bitter smile spread from his heart. When he met Shen Yi's eyes, he understood that he could not fool him. He certainly knew what it might mean to say this.

Maybe, he would lose Shen Yi as a helper, maybe, he might even leave this house now, or maybe, Shen Yi would be angry and there would be more severe consequences.

In fact, he could say it in a smoother and gentler way.

But he couldn't do it. 

He couldn't give a relationship that was not a transaction, a concern that was not mutually exploited, an illusory goodwill, or a love that would end at any time.

Jian Shangwen wanted to smile and tried to curl his lips, but he couldn't smile. He simply stopped smiling and said, "Life is very intermittent, Director Shen, you know, life is sometimes not as long as you imagine."

It was like his previous life.

He thought there were many, many beautiful futures.

Shen Yi's eyes darkened, and he said, "So?"

"So I am very sober." Jian Shangwen looked at him and said, "I can't give you what you want. It's not that I don't want to give it, but I don't have it."

Paused.

The endless shadow spread silently around the two people, like a silent flow of black paint, which permeated the air bit by bit.

Jian Shangwen said, "Of course, I don't really need it."

After that, he stopped looking at Shen Yi. He rarely talked to this extent. There was even a moment when he leaned against the table and felt a little funny. Was he really drunk? He actually said so much. Such a frank conversation made him subconsciously want to avoid it. Jian Shangwen retracted his gaze, just like an animal that has always had a protective shell. After suddenly opening up, he subconsciously wanted to hide back in his shell.

Even though he was the one who said the cruel words.

Shen Yi was silent for a moment and then said, "Are you done?"

Jian Shangwen nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Yi looked at the person standing in front of him. The dim light and shadow of the kitchen fell on his shoulders in a mottled way, making him look a little thin. In fact, he was angry when he was rejected. After all, over the years, Shen Yi thought, from wealthy families to big and small actors in the entertainment industry, many people have thrown themselves at him. He didn't say how good he was, but at least he was a good choice. 

He came back from abroad and didn't even have a meal. I heard that he went to a banquet. The old man of the Liang family was not so easy to deal with. Fu Jincheng was useless. I guess he would lose his composure if something happened to his childhood sweetheart. The others were also young and inexperienced. It would be strange if they could protect him.
