"Gu Shisong, you just need to drink a new glass of milk. I lied to you about the sandwich. Zhou Yanli has never eaten it." I explained quickly.
Otherwise, if both breakfasts were eaten by Gu Shisong, what would Zhou Yanli eat?
Only then did Gu Shisong realize that I had lied to him. He glared at me deliberately, "You little liar!"
Hearing this sounded a bit flirtatious. Zhou Yanli looked at me and then at Gu Shisong with a slightly indifferent expression.
I rolled my eyes at Gu Shisong and deliberately ignored his words, not wanting to continue.
Because I have to check it again, I have to stay here for about another week, and during this period, I don't have anything to do. It can be said that I am bored.
Ouyang Tian has returned to China, and apart from Zhou Yanli and Gu Shisong, I have no friends here.
But Gu Shisong is different. Besides me, he also has Meng Xinxin.
Meng Xinxin did not leave Country M. On the contrary, she was still Gu Shisong's neighbor.
They are just neighbors, one lives upstairs and the other lives downstairs.
"Shu Wanyi, why are you here?" When Meng Xinxin knocked on the door, I opened the door. When she saw me, her face turned pale and she asked me fiercely.
"I'm staying here temporarily." When I face Meng Xinxin, I always feel inexplicably guilty.
But I don’t feel this way at all about Nan Yu.
"Borrowing? Are you short of money? You don't know how to stay in a hotel?" Meng Xinxin pushed me away angrily and walked into the living room, "Where is Gu Shisong? Is he crazy?"
Gu Shisong went out for a trip and has not come back yet. At this time, only Zhou Yanli and I were at home.
Zhou Yanli was taking a lunch break and came out after hearing the noise.
He was wearing gray home clothes, with a hint of sleepiness on his face, "What's wrong?"
Meng Xinxin was about to continue questioning, but when she saw that the man who came out was not Gu Shisong, but Zhou Yanli, she was a little overwhelmed and stuttered, "Who is this? Where is Gu Shisong?"
I replied, "He is Zhou Yanli, and I am staying here with him."
My answer made Meng Xinxin's anger disappear quickly, and she forced out an awkward smile, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you lived here alone with Gu Shisong..."
"How is that possible?" I couldn't laugh or cry.
"Okay, I know this man, and there have been scandals about you before. Are you really together?" Meng Xinxin asked me tentatively.
I was about to deny it when Zhou Yanli made a move that surprised me.
Zhou Yanli put his arm around my shoulders and replied with a natural and calm expression, "Yes, we are in a relationship."
watt?
I turned around and looked at Zhou Yanli in shock. Was he suddenly unconscious?
After hearing this answer, Meng Xinxin laughed with satisfaction, "So that's it. I thought you were with Jin Han... but I didn't expect it was Zhou Yanli. So you denied it before because you were afraid of being gossiped about? I understand. I understand, after all, he and Jin Han..."
Meng Xinxin's gossipy nature was instantly aroused and she started to babble a lot, while I was still immersed in the shock and asked Zhou Yanli the reason with my eyes.
Zhou Yanli lowered his head and glanced at me, his eyes reminding me not to deny it yet.
I knew that he always had legitimate reasons for doing things, so I endured it, but I was worried that Meng Xinxin would spread this fake relationship.
"Meng Xinxin, please sit down for a while. Gu Shisong should be back soon. I have something to talk to Zhou Yanli." I squeezed out a smile and said hello.
Then I took Zhou Yanli to the bedroom.
After closing the door, I asked angrily, "Zhou Yanli, what was your answer just now? When did we start dating?"
"Sorry, I know I should discuss it with you first." There was a trace of hesitation on Zhou Yanli's face, and even his eyes were full of hesitation, as if there was something he couldn't tell me.
I had long sensed that something was wrong with him, so I urged, "If you have anything, just tell me."
Only then did Zhou Yanli speak to me about his current situation.
It turned out that his family introduced him to a blind date, and the Zhou family's parents were very satisfied. The woman also had a good impression of Zhou Yanli and was always proactive.
But he doesn't plan to get married. He came to country M this time not only to see me, but also to avoid the constant pressure to get married at home.
"What does this have to do with what you just said?" I don't quite understand.
"You once promised me that you could do something for me. I didn't think about it at the time, but I have thought about it now." Zhou Yanli looked at me with deep brows, and there was a temptation in his eyes.
My heart thumped, and I had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Zhou Yanli continued, "Pretend to be my girlfriend for a while and make my family and the woman give up. During this period, I will not bind you in the name of boyfriend and girlfriend."
I,"……"
How to say it? Although it is just a pretense, the outside world does not know that once word spreads, the scandals we have spread before will be confirmed.
Moreover, how can Zhou Yanli and I still be friends after the relationship ends?
It’s embarrassing just thinking about it.
"Zhou Yanli..." I hesitated and wanted to refuse.
But Zhou Yanli didn't speak, he just waited silently for me to continue to answer.
I could never say anything because Zhou Yanli had helped me so much, but the only time he made a request, I had to refuse him.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became stiff and solidified. I felt my heart was beating "thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump."
The expression on my face and my hesitation in speaking were actually the answer.
Zhou Yanli also noticed it, and he showed a wry smile, "It's okay, I just can't think of a better way."
"I..." I still want to explain.
"Let's go out." Zhou Yanli interrupted me, then turned around, opened the door and left.
There was obvious disappointment in him.
But I really can't do it.
After leaving the bedroom, Meng Xinxin was still sitting in the living room. She was typing on her cell phone, not knowing who she was messaging.
Seeing Zhou Yanli and I coming out, Meng Xinxin immediately put down her phone.
"I won't disturb your world anymore. I'll wait until Gu Shisong comes back." She stood up and said to me and Zhou Yanli with a smile.
I nodded and watched Meng Xinxin open the door and leave.
And her departure only made Zhou Yanli and I more and more embarrassed. I refused to help him just now. Will he think I am selfish?
He would only accept his help, but would not help him even once.
Maybe he will change his view of me and feel that the things he has done for me before are not worth it...
My heart was pounding inexplicably and I was thinking wildly.
Zhou Yanli was sitting opposite, flipping through a medical magazine in his hand. From his drooped head, only the thick black hair and the tip of his nose could be seen.
