When his gaze fell on her wrist, all his previous thoughts and awkwardness were tossed aside.
"Did he make this?" Shen Zongyi frowned and asked in a low voice.
Zheng Yuntong was still puzzled. Her hand was being held in Shen Zongyi's palm, and it was very hot. Moreover, they were on the street, and there were many people coming and going. It was not a good impression.
Just now, she seemed to have seen some colleagues from the finance department walk over, but she wasn't sure if they had seen them.
When he heard Shen Zongyi's words, he noticed that his wrist was bruised from Guan Zexi's grip. He had really used a lot of force just now. At that time, she had indeed felt some discomfort and pain, but she had not expected it to be so serious.
He frowned and reached out to touch the bruise. Immediately, he let out a hiss and quickly retracted his hand.
"Are you stupid? You know you're injured, but you still touch it! " Shen Zongyi said sternly. Looking at the bruise on her wrist, he sneered, "Is this what he meant by like? If you didn't agree, you wouldn't let go, and I ended up hurting you like this. I'm afraid he didn't even look at it. "
Surprisingly, Zheng Yuntong was not afraid of Shen Zongyi's anger. Her heartbeat sped up with an indescribable sweetness, as if she had someone to rely on.
She blushed and whispered, "It's alright."
Shen Zongyi scoffed, "Speak up for him?"
"No." Zheng Yuntong quickly shook her head. "I don't like him, so even if he's injured, I won't be sad. As for being angry, I don't think so. Maybe it's because he doesn't care. In any case, I won't meet him in the future. I won't interact with him anymore. "
"You sure are open-minded." Shen Zongyi curled his lips and sneered.
Zheng Yuntong pouted and didn't say anything. She also knew that Shen Zongyi was angry because she was injured and complained for her. However, it was clearly for her own good. Couldn't he say some soft words to coax her?
His heart clearly ached for her, yet he was still mocking her. What kind of person was he?
Suddenly, Zheng Yuntong's ears twitched. Feeling sorry for her?
She suddenly felt enlightened. Was Shen Zongyi feeling sorry for her?
Zheng Yuntong couldn't help but snicker in her heart, but she still pretended to be ignorant on the surface. "It's just a small injury. Why are you overreacting?"
Shen Zongyi pursed his lips and said with a faint smile, "You don't know?"
"What can I know?" Zheng Yuntong rolled her eyes.
"I thought you would at least test me by asking this question. You should have some idea in your heart." Shen Zongyi's tone softened. His voice was a little hoarse and low. In the cold wind, it was like a warm sun slowly floating into her heart.
Zheng Yuntong was completely attracted by his gentle gaze. The gentle smile in his words made Zheng Yuntong feel light-headed. She forgot that her hand was still held by Shen Zongyi. She did not notice that his thumb was gently rubbing the back of her hand, intentionally or unintentionally. His action was intimate.
"I don't know. I'm stupid and insensitive. No matter what it is, as long as someone doesn't explain it clearly, I won't guess. And even if you guessed correctly, you don't know if you guessed correctly. " Zheng Yuntong lowered her head and muttered, "I'm not a roundworm in your stomach. How would I know what you're thinking?"
"It's my fault. I didn't make myself clear." There was a smile in Shen Zongyi's deep voice. It was exceptionally warm. He held her hand and let it fall beside their legs. He took a small step forward and was only half a foot away from her.
Clearly feeling his approach, Zheng Yuntong's heart was in her throat. She was unprecedentedly nervous. Like a young girl who had her first awakening of love, her heart was beating so fast that it was about to break through the sky.
She felt a little short of breath. In the biting cold wind, she could smell the fragrance on his body, which made it even more refreshing.
"In the company, I'm not too close to anyone. I keep a certain distance. Besides President Wei, the one who talks the most is you," Shen Zongyi said softly.
Zheng Yuntong did not dare to raise her head. She lowered her head, but she could feel his breath on her forehead as he spoke.
At this moment, his head was also lowered.
"Especially the female colleagues in the company. Other than you, who else has spoken more than a few words to me? I don't even have much contact with them. Most of the time, it's the managers of the various departments who contact me. I don't care about them, nor do I pay attention to them. "Shen Zongyi lowered his head, but he could only see the forehead of the young girl in front of him.
Her head was also very low, and she refused to raise her head to look at him.
Shen Zongyi could not help but laugh. At this moment, the two of them were standing very close to each other. It was as if she was in his embrace.
Initially, he wanted to take it slow. He knew that she was not very open-minded and did not have that kind of feelings for anyone. There were many female colleagues in the company who had feelings for him. However, she clearly had so many opportunities, but she had never used them.
Today, when he saw her former senior come to look for him, he felt a sense of crisis.
It turned out that this young girl was not uninterested in others. There were also people who could see her good side. Moreover, he did not know how many such people there were in a corner of the world.
Fortunately, Guan Zexi, who came to confess his love this afternoon, had a bad personality and did not catch her eye. However, he might not be so lucky in the future.
"All along, it's been very obvious that I've treated you differently. I thought you could tell." Shen Zongyi chuckled. His smile made Zheng Yuntong's entire body warm up and shiver in the cold weather. "I don't know if I'm not obvious enough, or if you're just too slow."
Zheng Yuntong lowered her head and quietly puffed up her cheeks.
She heard Shen Zongyi say seriously and solemnly, "Zheng Yuntong, I like you and want you to be my girlfriend. I guess you'll ask me why I like you. To be honest, I don't really know. In the beginning, it was in Hainan. You accidentally barged into my room, and when you saw me changing, you retreated with a red face. You were clumsy and stupid. "
"Later on, when you faced me, you were always very nervous, as if I would eat you. The more you acted like this, the more I wanted to get close to you. The closer I got, the more interesting you became. You were clearly very smart, but sometimes, you were so silly that it was cute. Later on, you seemed to get closer to me, but you weren't like others who always approached me with ulterior motives. You were always so calm when you approached me, without any ulterior motives, just like a friend. This made me feel very relaxed when I was with you, but I was also a little annoyed because you still did not see me as a person of the opposite sex. However, I already saw you as such. Sometimes, when I face your gaze without any distracting thoughts, I feel very defeated. "
"I don't know why, but my impression of you is getting better and better. I want to take you under my wing more and more, until I finally put you on my household register," Shen Zongyi said. "Zheng Yuntong, are you willing to agree to me? I know you don't like that kind of domineering personality. I think I'm a bit of a domineering person. But I won't make things difficult for you. If you don't agree, it's fine, but give me a chance to pursue you until you agree. "
What he meant was that regardless of whether she agreed or not, he would not give up.
Zheng Yuntong couldn't help but smile. In the past, she was afraid that if she didn't show it clearly, he would think that she didn't have feelings for him and give up on his original idea. But it turned out that he had never planned to do so.
But it made sense. If he gave up so easily, he wouldn't be Shen Zongyi.
These three words seemed to represent his character: steadiness and persistence.
It was very strange. If it was Guan Zexi who expressed such an attitude to her, she thought she would be very disgusted. But now that it was Shen Zongyi, she was very happy and didn't find his persistence annoying.
"How is it? Do you like me or not? Can you give me an answer? "Shen Zongyi asked.
Zheng Yuntong had forgotten that they were on the busy street, but Shen Zongyi remembered it, but he didn't care.
Just now, he saw a few colleagues from the company behind Zheng Yuntong, as well as people from the public relations department. When they saw the two of them, they were quite surprised. After that, they saw the two of them holding hands and standing very close to each other, and they couldn't close their mouths.
Zheng Yuntong didn't realize how intimate the two of them were now, standing very close to each other. Zheng Yuntong's lowered head couldn't hide the blush on it, and she looked like a little girl in love.
So although Shen Zongyi asked this, he wasn't too worried that she would reject him.
But he still waited patiently for her answer.
"It's not that I don't like domineering people." Zheng Yuntong finally opened her mouth, and her soft voice couldn't be heard clearly in the wind.
Shen Zongyi pricked up his ears. He needed to pay full attention to hear what she was saying.
Zheng Yuntong took a breath, and the cold wind blew in, and it was a little biting cold.
She gathered her courage and raised her voice a little. "Guan Zexi is the kind of person who won't be happy if I don't agree, and he doesn't hesitate to hurt me. Of course, I don't like him. You will respect me, but it's different. Actually, I'm not a very decisive person. There are many things that I need someone to help me make decisions. For example, when I'm buying something, if I'm hesitant between two items, I'll need someone to help me choose one. "
"Then what do you mean?" Shen Zongyi had a general idea of Zheng Yuntong's choice and asked with a smile.
"Do I need to say it out loud?" Zheng Yuntong's face was extremely red. "Shen Zongyi, I … I like you very much. I don't dare to get too close, afraid that I'll think too much. I don't dare to get too far away, afraid that you'll misunderstand that I don't like you. I have a lot of fear in my heart, worry about gains and losses, and have a lot of scruples. It's all because I like you. Initially, I didn't want to agree to have lunch with Guan Zexi, but I didn't know how to reject him. "
Shen Zongyi listened to her patiently. Usually, when he was with Zheng Yuntong, he didn't talk much, and she might be too nervous, so she didn't dare to talk too much to him. It was rare for him to hear her talk so much, and he treasured it very much.
"When I was sitting in the restaurant, my mind was always thinking about you. When he confessed to me, the first thing that came to my mind was you. Because of you, I couldn't accept anyone's confession, not just him. Even if an outstanding person said that he liked me, I wouldn't agree, and I wouldn't be moved. Even if I didn't know that you liked me at that time, the reason I rejected him was that I already had someone I liked. "Saying all this in one breath was really a big test for Zheng Yuntong.
She was thin-skinned, but she could confess like this. She felt that her face was burning, and her brain and limbs were no longer her own.
