Shen Jue's words were like frost, hitting Bai Yu'an's heart coldly.
Her body instantly became cold, as if her whole body had been frozen, making her unable to make a sound.
Is this a habitual gesture of aloofness by those in power?
She realized the unreasonableness in the officialdom, and the feeling of being at a loss as if floating in a heavy fog swept over her again.
She, Bai Yuan, is indeed small.
He was so small that he could only be rolled over and beaten by the waves, and humiliated by others.
Her shoulders slumped, Bai Yu'an looked dumbfounded and didn't speak. She wanted to leave with heavy steps, but her reason told her that she couldn't just leave like this.
His usual calmness was slightly cracked, and his mind was even blank and unable to think.
She tried hard to calm down and not show any weakness in front of Shen Jue.
Another large shadow suddenly cast in front of him. Bai Yu'an was startled and reflexively retreated, but Shen Jue reached out and held down his shoulders.
Under Bai Yu'an's surprised gaze, Shen Jue smiled and pushed Bai Yu'an to sit back on the stool.
He could clearly see the fragility and panic hidden deep in the eyes, and the overly beautiful eyebrows were still struggling and unwilling to give in.
This kind of Bai Yu'an is rare and a bit downcast and soft, but extremely touching.
Shen Jue knew that it was unkind of him to force others to do so, but Bai Yu'an, a jade bone, might not be convinced even if his family members were not taken out, even if he was chopped down.
Bai Yu'an looked a little pitiful like this, a small boat in the sea, a speck of dust among thousands of sand grains.
He was just one among ten thousand, and he probably realized that he was no different.
But Shen Jue knew that Bai Yuan was different.
He is like a new bud in the spring breeze, dyed with the fragrance of flowers. Although it is fragile, it is crystal clear and green, full of vitality.
Give it a drop of dew and it will grow into thick branches and leaves.
He felt slightly distressed and pitiful, and couldn't help but look like he was losing his soul.
The young man who is proud of the spring breeze should have been bathed in the spring breeze and moonlight.
In the end, he saw the sinister nature of people's hearts.
Shen Jue wanted to be cruel and let him know his identity, but she couldn't help but pity and wanted to comfort him.
He let go of his hand on Bai Yuan's shoulder, bowed closer to him, and said softly in a rare tone: "I never thought about blackmailing Mr. Bai about the matter in Mr. Bai's hometown. I just wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Mr. Bai." It’s just a friendship, adults.”
"It's just that we slept together for three days because we wanted to have a few more words with Mr. Bai."
"Master Bai refused to play chess with me several times, and he was a little unhappy after all."
After saying that, Shen Jue paused and looked deeply at Bai Yu'an: "Master Bai, do you understand my mood?"
Shen Jue in front of him bowed to talk to him, his posture was very low, and his tone was a bit consultative and explanation.
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes slightly and met Shen Jue's deep eyes.
Under those black eyes was a tall nose, and the candlelight hit his face, turning his cold face into a somewhat warm color.
Shen Jue's gesture made Bai Yu'an uncomfortable, and his eyes were too aggressive. Bai Yu'an couldn't resist it and lowered his eyes.
She still didn't believe that Shen Jue really wanted to make friends with her.
If he really wanted to make friends with him, he wouldn't have threatened him just now.
But Bai Yu'an knew that there was only one way in front of him.
Shen Jue has a dark heart and evil hands. If he takes revenge, she is not afraid. She is just afraid that her family will be implicated.
And with his attitude now, she would be ignorant of propriety if she refused again, and would most likely anger Shen Jue again.
Bai Yu'an knew that she could no longer refuse.
This is the only reason that must be resolved, so that she can stay away from Shen Jue.
Besides, she doesn't necessarily lose.
After thinking calmly in her heart, she met Shen Jue's eyes again, with the usual indifference on her cold face: "It's just a bet between me and Shen Shoufu."
Shen Jue smiled, knowing that Bai Yu'an was quite smart and not too stubborn.
Straightening up, Shen Jue sat back on the chair and said with a smile, "Then when will Master Bai plan to play chess with me?"
Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue with a cold gaze: "I have one more thing to ask Chief Shen to agree to."
Shen Jue raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with emotion, but he smiled and said, "Master Bai, you might as well come and listen."
Bai Yu'an said: "If Xiaguan wins the chess game, Xiaguan wants to move out."
Shen Jue smiled calmly: "Since Mr. Bai has made the request, I will agree to it."
As she spoke, Shen Jue changed the subject again, with a serious look in her eyes: "But since Master Bai made the request, I will also add one more."
Bai Yu felt reassured, pursed her lips and looked at Shen Jue: "Shen Shoufu, just tell me."
Leaning on the chair, Shen Jue looked lightly: "I want Mr. Bai to accompany me for dinner for three more days."
My heart relaxed inexplicably, it was just dinner.
Bai Yu'an stood up and bowed to Shen Jue: "Xiu Mu will be there the day after tomorrow. Is Shen Shoufu free that day?"
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yuan's downcast face in front of him with a deep smile: "Of course I'm free."
Bai Yu'an was silent and then said: "Then I will come to play chess with Shen Shoufu the day after I leave the official position."
Shen Jue hummed, but his eyes never left Bai Yu'an for even a moment.
Bai Yu'an naturally knew that Shen Jue's eyes were on him, and his face remained calm and calm: "Since we have agreed, it is already getting late, so I will leave first."
But Shen Jue stood up: "I'll see you off."
Bai Yu'an was stunned and frowned: "The road is not far, I can just go back by myself."
However, Shen Jue went to the shelf next to the screen and took out the brocade robe. Under Bai Yuan's stunned gaze, she naturally took off her outer cloak and put on her robe.
He glanced sideways at Bai Yu'an again and smiled: "Master Bai, wait for me for a moment."
Even though Shen Jue was wearing middle clothes, it was the first time for Bai Yu'an to see another man changing clothes.
But Shen Jue seemed very natural, as if the two were really good friends.
The words of rejection were paused in her mouth, and she had to look away slightly. Bai Yu'an looked at the memorial on the table again.
She really couldn't understand what kind of person Shen Jue was.
With her fingertips tightening in her sleeves, Bai Yu'an asked, "Master Shen, what else do you think of the memorial to the lower official?"
Shen Jue's casual voice came: "Although it is a little bit theoretical, it can still be applied with slight changes."
Bai Yuan felt bad in her heart.
Shen Jue was tying his belt. Seeing Bai Yuan's unhappy expression, his black eyes moved and he said, "Master Bai and I are usually distant. I would like to hear more of Master Bai's opinions."
Bai Yu'an didn't know whether Shen Jue was dressed or not. He paused after hearing his words and didn't know how to reply to him.
Deep down, he was naturally against Shen Jue.
He framed the teacher and was insulted by him at the uncle's house.
Moreover, people like Shen Jue are a bit scary, and Bai Yu'an doesn't want to get too close to him.
While he was thinking about it, Shen Jue's voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Master Bai, let's go."
Only then did Bai Yu'an feel that Shen Jue was standing beside him at some point. His tall stature made him feel like a high wall pressing down on him, which was depressing.
Bai Yu'an couldn't help but move a step, and looked at the paintings on the wall again. His head turned in his heart, but he still didn't ask.
He just nodded and followed Shen Jue out.
