He is too well-behaved

Chapter 37. We have never been together

　　Shen Gusi took small bites of the pancake, her long eyelashes fluttering gently, her fair face illuminated by the sunlight from the window, and the tiny hairs could be seen if you got close.

　　Xu Jiashen stared at Shen Gusi without blinking, as if he wanted to imprint him in his eyes, afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

　　"How have you been these years?" Xu Jiashen asked.

　　Shen Gusi always felt that Xu Jiashen was looking at him. His overly passionate gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable. He slowly swallowed the pancake in his mouth and said, "Not bad... not bad."

This sentence comes from the heart.

　　No longer had to worry about being kicked out one day, no longer had to worry about having nowhere to go. He got a job, rented a house, raised a daughter, and his life became ordinary and beautiful.

　　It would be better if Lulu wasn't sick.

　　"So you and Xiao Qi, are you together?"

　　Xu Jiashen couldn't help but ask the question he had wanted to ask for a long time, and then waited anxiously for Shen Gusi's answer.

　　Shen Gusi shook his head and denied: "No, Xiao Qi just helped me a lot. He is a very good person. He helped me a lot, helped me take care of Lulu, and gave me a job..."

　　Shen Gusi's words made Xu Jiashen feel relieved, but he also didn't want to hear Shen Gusi praising Xiao Qi in front of him.

　　"If you come to me, I can help you more." There was a hint of unconvinced in his words.

　　Shen Gusi smiled and said, "Shen Shen, you told me not to look for you again."

　　He didn't blame Xu Jiashen, so he wasn't complaining, he was just stating the facts.

　　But it was a bit sad to hear this.

　　"I..." Shen Gusi's words always left him speechless for a moment, unable to refute.

　　Because those are things he actually did.

　　"I won't do that again..." Xu Jiashen said in a low voice.

　　Shen Gusi didn't take Xu Jiashen's words to heart. Maybe it has nothing to do with him anymore.

　　"What about you?" Out of politeness, or perhaps curiosity, Shen Gusi asked Xu Jiashen.

　　The moment he asked the question, Shen Gu thought of many possible answers Xu Jiashen would give.

　　For example, "I'm married" or "I have a child", etc., so he was mentally prepared and waited for Xu Jiashen to answer.

　　Xu Jiashen opened his mouth, looked at Shen Gusi's face, and became dazed.

　　You said you were doing well? Or did you say that I had been asking about you for a long time, but Xiao Qi stopped me, so I came so late.

　　Or in other words, this time, I want you to come back to me.

　　Xu Jiashen didn't say any of this.

　　"It's not bad, but sometimes I think about the past."

　　Shen Gusi stared at him blankly, then looked at Xu Jiashen and said, "The matter of being with you."

　　There was a feeling in his eyes that Shen Gusi could not understand.

　　Shen Gusi turned away and said in a voice that only he could hear: "We have never been together."
