[This chapter is yesterday, I didn't go home yesterday, sorry...]

Looking at Zheng Yuqiu who was dressed up, locking the yard door with a small song and getting in the car in a good mood, I felt something, so I added another sentence to the text message I replied to Shu Tong - say hello to your parents and grandma on my behalf, if you need help, please contact us at any time... The dressing in the morning is very suitable for you.

The content on the slap seems to be inconsistent with the previous ones, and what should be said in the morning is only added now. It seems that it is too late to think about it. But seeing a woman like Zheng Yuqiu who is very cunning and has a complex background, she will be like a little girl who wants to eat candy. She is praised as if she licked honey. I thought that with my IQ, there is no need to spend more useless thoughts to worry about whether Shu Tong’s psychology is simple or complicated. As long as she knows that this sentence must be what she likes to hear, she will be happier about it, which is enough.

To be honest, I have never had any special thoughts about Shu Tong. I can't deny that occasionally I would have some vanity and narcissistic exaggeration and lust for her. For example, when I am alone, I don't know what she is thinking, or if I have a revengeful mind + slander, for example, when I was sarcastic and unreasonable, I was sarcastic and disturbed by this girl, but those should belong to the "normal" and "understandable" sexual fantasy category of a normal man. At least I have never had the urge to put it into action. Now, she almost told me that she has feelings for me, but I don't know whether I have a relationship with her besides some dirty delusions, nor how to respond to her feelings. One of the important reasons is... I am not good at dealing with emotional issues.

I have always been self-denial. Even though there were a thousand signs before that Shu Tong might like me, I could always find ten thousand reasons to overturn and believe that she would not like me. So this turning point happened too suddenly for me. I don’t have time to sort out and think about it, let alone how to face it.

But even I knew very well that if I replied to this text message like this, Shu Daizi would probably misunderstand it, and believed that something I hadn't figured out, but in addition, I really couldn't think of a more secure reply than this. This is based on rational analysis - based on the current situation, it would be more beneficial to her family than to make her believe that I don't like her. I don't want this girl to sit at home with a broken face, facing Shu's parents and grandma Shu who would ask her 100% of the questions...

When the text message was sent, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly. Think about it carefully. Whether it was stepmother, Chu Yuan, or the girls around me, my way of getting along seemed to be just two words - pampering, coaxing...

Am I really a natural bastard? What does Shutong’s family matter to me? Why am I so unwilling to let go, worry about it, and wrap myself in?

When Zheng Yuqiu saw my expression, he pouted and asked, "What's wrong? His eyebrows are twisted in twists. Don't he think I'm unreasonable?"

"No..." Zheng Yuqiu is indeed unreasonable, but even if she tosses me, I will willingly endure it. Who asked me to use her? This is not cheap, it is an equivalent exchange. I said, "I'm just curious, you actually live in such a place."

"What is 'this place'? What's wrong with this place? Isn't it good?" Ms. Zheng put down the window, took a deep breath, and smiled, "The environment is not good? The air is not good?"

"That's not..."

"Then what kind of place do you imagine I should live in?"

"It's not that big villas can also be high-end apartments. Nowadays, people with wealth and status, who don't buy big houses? Besides, you are not like a person who is stingy about spending money and enjoying it. The car for transportation is only millions, and it should be more than the Ferrari parked at home? I picked out a set of outfits in the closet, which would be worth one or two or even two or three years of salary. You can get a watch and jewelry and you can change it to a car under our butt. Such a high-profile person lives in such a low-key place. I don't think anyone doesn't think it's strange at all, right?"

"If everyone finds it strange, it can only prove that there are no normal people in this society now."

"Are everyone awakened by me?" I smiled and said, "It's better to play alternatives by playing with a unique person?"

"No," Zheng Yuqiu said with a stern look: "You can't just look at me with tinted glasses because of my sister. I'm actually quite simple."

"Sorry, I don't know much about you, but the only thing I know most is that you are not simple at all..."

Dong Xiaoye glared at me from the rearview mirror, as if he thought that what I said was wrong again, but Zheng Yuqiu was not angry, laughed and said, "You are complicated, so no one is simple, I am simple, so no one is complicated... Little brother, do you think there is a difference between 'house' and 'home'? I tell you, there is a difference. Home must be a house, but not all houses can give you the feeling of home. I have lived in Duanmu family since I was a child. The house is big, the yard is also big, there are drivers for travel, and there are mediocre housework.

People, I have a chef to cook, I don’t have to do anything, and I don’t even need to feed a dog myself, but I never thought that there was a home, that was a house, and living there was no difference between living there and staying in a hotel. The service was attentive, but I was not free and uncomfortable. Instead, I didn’t live in this small courtyard and a small house. I had to take care of everything myself, which made me more comfortable, relaxed and more at ease. This is the difference between a house and a home, and the place you just came out was a home that I felt comfortable, relaxed and safe."

I can understand it, but it sounds awkward to say it from Zheng Yuqiu. After all, her enjoyment in other aspects is luxurious. Zheng Yuqiu probably saw through my thoughts and said, "If I say this, you may understand that the gorgeous image in front of people is a work requirement, not necessarily because I like it, just as if you dressed very formally today, and it is not as unrestrained in front of me as in the previous few times. It may not be because you like it now. It is just that sometimes some things are all involuntary and unrestrained."

Zheng Yuqiu's as if nothing had happened made me tremble. It turned out that she had guessed that I had a purpose in treating her to a meal.

"Miss Zheng..."

"Shh~" Zheng Yuqiu stretched out his index finger and refused to let me speak, and said with a smile: "If I know that you have bad intentions to me and happily get on your thief car, it means that I have prepared the worst mentally, so you don't need an explanation, and I don't need your explanation. No matter how many reasons are, they are not worth a 'Sister I'm happy', right?"

I feel guilty about using Zheng Yuqiu, but I am not resistant to it. After all, Zheng Yuqiu is from the third lady, and I have deliberately concealed this from me before. Although I am not as petty as Master Su, "reciting reciprocity" is my style. But now after hearing what she said, I can't help but blame myself. I always feel that things have changed. I seem to be using Zheng Yuqiu's favoritism for me, which is too despicable...

"Why don't you regret it if you know I cheated you and you still come out with me?"

Zheng Yuqiu flattened her mouth, but said in a very proud tone: "Don't underestimate the pessimistic attitude and happiness of a girl who has been living under someone else's roof since she has had memories. The trigger point of extremely low satisfaction - any result that is better than my worst mental preparation is an unexpected surprise. Do you think I may regret it?"

I was stunned and speechless...

The buddy finally understood why Mrs. Duanmu worked hard but was unable to save her sister's broken relationship, so she was only satisfied with unilaterally making up for her debt to Zheng Yuqiu. The deep harm she had to Zheng Yuqiu was not something outsiders could understand. This cynical fancy woman gave people the feeling that she was so positive and optimistic. She played in the world, but if she really understood her, she would find that it was just an illusion. The real she was actually an extreme pessimist. Only those who were used to disappointment would not have any expectations for anyone or anything.

I thought continuing this topic would inevitably touch Zheng Yuqiu's scars. I was thinking about changing the topic, but when Sister Hu couldn't help but curious, she said, "Can I ask? What is the worst mental preparation you have done before getting on the bus?"

Zheng Yuqiu looked at me, and a blush appeared on his face for no reason. He turned to look at Sister Hu's eyes in the rearview mirror, and smiled as if it was true or false, "Raising first, then killing, or killing first and then rape."
