Si Zhanbei was obviously a proud son of heaven while she was just a country bumpkin. It would be strange if he liked her.
With that thought, Sheng Fenghua's excitement and joy slowly calmed down, and a trace of loneliness flashed through her eyes.
Si Zhanbei saw her expression and misunderstood. He thought that she was afraid, so he said, "Don't think too much. I'm just joking."
Sheng Fenghua could not help but laugh at herself when she heard this. Sure enough, she was thinking too much. He was just joking.
Sheng Fenghua's expression turned slightly cold when she thought she knew the truth. She lifted her head to look at Si Zhanbei and said, "It's getting late. You should go back."
As soon as these words came out, the ambiguous atmosphere in the room disappeared without a trace. Si Zhanbei stared fixedly at Sheng Fenghua for a while. When he saw that she was no longer as shy as before, he could not help but blame himself.
He could tell that Sheng Fenghua was unhappy, but he didn't know how he had offended her.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. I'm sleepy and I want to sleep," Sheng Fenghua replied calmly as if she was chasing him away.
Si Zhanbei took a deep look at Sheng Fenghua and did not ask any questions. He stood up, walked to a chair at the side, and sat down.
Then, he took out a military magazine out of nowhere and began to read it seriously.
Sheng Fenghua frowned when she saw Si Zhanbei sitting on the chair with no intention of leaving. She asked, "Are you not going back?"
Si Zhanbei raised his head and looked at Sheng Fenghua without saying a word. However, the meaning behind his gaze was clear. She was right.
This time, Sheng Fenghua was completely flustered. She pointed at the chair Si Zhanbei was sitting on and said, "There's no bed here, only a chair. Don't tell me you intend to sit here all night?"
"Mm!" Si Zhanbei responded softly before lowering his head to read his magazine again.
This time, Sheng Fenghua felt terrible. She chased him away just now. Although part of it was because she was angry, it was also because she felt sorry for him.
Putting aside the fact that he had just returned from a mission and hadn't had much rest, he still had to work tomorrow. She couldn't bear to see him suffer like this. Even a body made of iron would not be able to withstand such a torturous method.
Of course, if he was tired, he could sleep on the chair like he did in the afternoon. But that would be very uncomfortable, and she couldn't bear to do it.
Sheng Fenghua opened her mouth again and said, "You can go back. I don't need company."
"I'm fine." Si Zhanbei replied casually without even raising his head.
Sheng Fenghua was a little angry now. She didn't know what she was angry about, so she raised her voice and said, "I told you to go back, didn't you hear me?"
Her loud voice startled Si Zhanbei. He lifted his head to look at her in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just don't want you to keep watch here. It's annoying."
In order to let Si Zhanbei go back to rest, Sheng Fenghua said those hurtful words out of spite.
As expected, Si Zhanbei's expression changed instantly when he heard this. He looked at her with a cold and hurt gaze and said, "What did you say? You don't want to see me, do you? "
"Me?"
When Sheng Fenghua saw the hurt in Si Zhanbei's eyes, she opened her mouth but no words came out. She felt slightly regretful. She regretted saying such a thing. After all, Si Zhanbei stayed behind for her sake.
Sheng Fenghua lowered her head and said guiltily, "Si Zhanbei, I'm sorry!"
