898, selfish
"You won't tell me even if I ask, so I won't make fun of myself!" Zhou Jin seemed to know Xu Shu's temper very well. Over time, he stopped doing this useless work. Although Xu Shu asked this, she did not tell him his plan.
"If you ask me, I will tell you!" Xu Shu looked at Zhou Jin with her hands supporting her eyebrows and eyes with a smile.
"Really? Will you tell me no matter what I ask?" Seeing the sleeves on Xu Shu's arm slide down, revealing a large piece of smooth skin, which was shiny and delicate. Even under the dim light, it exudes the temptation of making people blush and heartbeat. Zhou Jin's throat involuntarily slid up and down. This inadvertent temptation is the most deadly.
"Yeah!" Xu Shu blinked.
"Then..." Zhou Jin finally couldn't help it, and reached out and held the wrist exposed by Xu Shuguo, staring at Xu Shu with bright and scorching eyes, "Then tell me, in your heart, where am I in!"
"I didn't ask you to ask this!" Xu Shu coquettishly, staggered her eyes, refused to look at Zhou Jin, and put down her hand, her sleeves slid down, covering Zhou Jin's hand together in the wide sleeves, so Zhou Jin's hand was more bold and touched up.
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, "You said you will tell me no matter what I ask!"
Xu Shu curled her lips, "Who knew you would ask this!"
"Because I want to know..." Zhou Jin touched Xu Shu's hand along his arm, and then linked his fingers to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu struggled for a while, but because Zhou Jin held it too tightly and didn't break free, her heart suddenly tightened, she looked away, "Okay, why are you talking about this!"
"I always feel...you are getting further and further away from me..."
Zhou Jin raised his hand and looked at his hands that were closely linked to Xu Shu. He was obviously so close to each other, and Xu Shu no longer avoided him as before, but Zhou Jin had an inexplicable feeling that Xu Shu was away from him. This feeling made Zhou Jin feel panicked and scared. He urgently needed to prove it. Xu Shu's personal guarantee that even if it was just a lie, he was willing to believe it. As long as it was Xu Shu said, he was willing to believe every word.
"Is there any?" Xu Shu tilted her head and looked pretty, "I don't think so!"
The more Xu Shu denied it, the more uneasy Zhou Jin felt. The hand he held was holding was unconsciously exerting force, as if he could keep it. Xu Shu couldn't help but exclaim, "It hurts!"
Zhou Jin let go a little, and indeed saw a blue and white mark on Xu Shu's fingers. It was pinched out by him. He couldn't help but rub Xu Shu with guilt, "A light pinch left a mark. Your body is too weak!"
"It's not gentle, you're so hard!" Xu Shu pouted and expressed dissatisfaction.
Zhou Jin chuckled, "Mr. Qin is here, let Mr. Qin take your pulse!"
This time, Xu Shu did not refuse, but nodded obediently, "It just so happens that I will go to Jingyuan in a few days!"
This was the first time Xu Shu took the initiative to go back after leaving Jingyuan. Zhou Jin was a little surprised, "What are you doing when you go back?"
Xu Shu said, "I lack personnel here, I'll take Yuanyuan and the others over!"
Zhou Jin frowned almost invisibly, "Du?"
"Yeah~" Xu Shu nodded, "Wan Feng and Taxue followed Shi Mei, leaving them in Jingyuan. They were not at ease and felt uncomfortable. They thought I didn't want them anymore. Let's take them together this time!"
The uneasiness in my heart suddenly spread again, and Zhou Jin subconsciously held his hand tightly again, "Xu Shu..."
"Hmm?" Xu Shu looked at Zhou Jin in confusion.
Zhou Jin suddenly lowered his head and pressed against Xu Shu's forehead. Xu Shu was stunned. Zhou Jin's other hand had already stroked her cheek and murmured softly, "Xu Shu, don't leave me!"
Because Zhou Jin pressed his forehead, Xu Shu couldn't even hide, and her eyes had to look at Zhou Jin, "What are you doing?"
"Don't interrupt!" The more Xu Shu wanted to avoid it, the more Zhou Jin refused. "You won't leave me, right?"
Xu Shu knew that she couldn't escape and sighed, "I didn't want to tell you about this matter... Zhou Jin, you know, there are too many people in this world who can't help themselves, and things cannot help others!"
Zhou Jin's eyes dimmed, and Xu Shu's avoidance could already show her heart, "So you will leave in the end..." So his intuition was not unreasonable. They were obviously so close, but Xu Shu's heart had already left him.
"I just don't want to lie to you..." Xu Shu sighed, "Zhou Jin, this is the reality! Take this time for example. The Fu family would rather sacrifice their son than move away from me. One day, the Fu family will get rid of me quickly and connect with the Zheng family!"
"No! There won't be such a day!" Zhou Jin promised, with a determined and tough light in his eyes, which seemed so credible!
"As long as you still have to rely on the Fu family, there will be a day. Zhou Jin, you actually understand very well. You can't compete with the Fu family now, so you can't stop what the Fu family wants to do. The Fu family sells your face now just because the great cause has not been achieved. The Fu family still needs you! Once you take that position, everything the Fu family has endured now will be recovered. At that time, if I am not tactful, the price I pay is something I can't afford! The Zheng family is very nice to me, and I don't want the Zheng family to suffer a catastrophe because of my own selfishness!"
It’s not Xu Shu’s pessimism, but she has seen through everything. The Fu family’s ambition will never allow the Zheng family to take away a tiny bit of the fruits of its victory from it.
Zhou Jin's expression was a little stiff. The Fu family still chose to be loyal to his bloodline after the death of the late emperor. It was not entirely because of the Fu family's loyalty that the Fu family always claimed, but because the Deng family supported the current emperor to ascend the throne. In front of the current emperor, the Fu family could not compete with the Deng family, but the Fu family wanted that unique glory, so the Fu family could only follow him closely. The Fu family's loyalty was also obvious ambitions.
"Believe me, with me here, nothing you worry about will happen. You won't have anything to do, and neither will the Zheng family!"
But Xu Shu shook her head, "I don't believe you anymore, Zhou Jin, you don't believe me, so I won't believe you anymore, I only believe in myself!"
Xu Shu was still holding a grudge, and Zhou Jin was a little helpless. This was a hurdle between him and Xu Shu. It was not that Xu Shu was slim, but sometimes he did not do well enough. In his position, he had to worry about too many factors. Many times he had to weigh the pros and cons to make the choice of maximizing interests, so he was destined to sacrifice something at this time, but he was so greedy, and he wanted both the country and the beauty!
