Chapter 22
Xu Jinman slowly sat down on the sofa and picked it up.
Shen Shu was disappointed with the members of the Shen family, and had already decided to leave that pit, so naturally she no longer needed to use herself to fill the loopholes of the Shen family.
Besides, there was the matter of Cai Ying and Chen Xiaxia.
For Shen Shu, it seemed that there was no need to continue.
Divorce is fine, the idea of helping Shen Shu at the beginning is already on the right track, if Shen Shu encounters troubles in the future, she doesn't mind helping out as a friend...
That is... Did Shen Shu hesitate a bit when she made this decision?She can't be that bad, can she?
Silence, footsteps approaching from the balcony, Xu Jinman glanced to see that Shen Shu was walking towards her.
"It was drawn up when we got married." Shen Shu saw the things in her hand, walked past the sofa not paying much attention, and went to the kitchen to get a water glass. "I was looking for something under the coffee table just now, and I accidentally found it."
careless……
So it doesn't mean divorce?
Xu Jinman glanced at the coffee table, Shen Shu has a study here, why are the documents placed here?
But it doesn't matter.
The corners of her slightly pursed lips were loosened, her tone was a little loose, and there was a sense of joy in the landing of something real.
"Oh, what's for dinner then?"
Before the discussion came to a conclusion, Shen Shu received a call from Cai Ying, and when she was about to hang up, she walked to the living room, showing surprise——Xu Jinman was washing things in the sink.
Just now Xu Jinman thought she was joking when she said she was cooking.
Shen Shu: "Are you really going to do it?"
Xu Jinman: "I'm good at this."
"..." Cai Ying rioted over there: "You! What are you two doing, what are you doing!!"
Shen Shu: "..."
Hanging up the phone and sending Cai Ying a photo of Zhang Xu Jinman cooking, Cai Ying: [! ! ! 】
Cai Ying: [Let's find a Taoist priest. 】
Shen Shu: [? 】
Cai Ying: 【Take out the ghost inside her, I suspect she has been taken away! 】
Shen Shu smiled helplessly, although it was a joke, it was more or less the same.
Looking at the woman washing vegetables in the kitchen.
Xu Jinman put on an apron, her light brown hair was curled behind with a chopstick, and her cold white skin was even fairer under the light, except that there was a light blue patch on her elbow.
The scar on her right hand hasn't healed yet, has it?The man always seems to get hurt.
Shen Shu thought in a daze, if what Cai Ying said is true, and what is inside is a ghost, then she would rather be a ghost.
After all, people are much scarier than ghosts.
...
Half an hour later, two bowls of tomato and egg noodles were placed on the table.
Shen Shu took two mouthfuls without saying a word, Xu Jinman laughed angrily and said, "It's so unpalatable?"
"No." Shen Shu said honestly, "I thought it was a big meal."
"..."
Xu Jinman: "Miss Shen, your refrigerator is really poor, I tried my best."
When Shen Shu heard this, she thought her tone was funny: "I know."
Shen Shu lowered her eyes, she lied.
The divorce agreement was brought out in the morning, but just now when Xu Jinman was standing on the balcony talking to her, she suddenly changed her mind.
The matter between Cai Ying and Chen Xiaxia just happened, and now that they are divorced, people like Yin Xue may still come to make trouble.As before, Xu Jinman was an evil ghost, but now Xu Jinman is a kind of protection for her and the people around her.
Besides... the current Xu Jinman, she thinks, is pretty good.
Let's talk about it after a while.
"What are you going to say to me?"
Shen Shu glanced over Xu Jinman's apron, and Winnie the bear's ears were just on both sides of her heart, bulging.
The apron was bought online, and she felt weird when it arrived, and she had never worn it.
Moving his eyes slightly, he said slowly, "Today... I went to try out a play."
"Really? That's good."
Xu Jinman definitely knew about her past, but she was still surprised to see that there was no surprise on Xu Jinman's face.
Xu Jinman said: "People have many ways to live. You can live as you like. What are you doing for other people's tiredness? While the Xu family and I can still rely on, use it to climb up. In short , you can do whatever you want, go to film if you want, and if something goes wrong, I will take care of you."
It turned out to be such an answer.
Even Cai Ying persuaded her when she heard that she chose to go filming again.
It is unrealistic for her to enter this industry halfway.
In fact, she didn't have too many thoughts, but that phone call reminded her of her past time in the drama club.
Back then she still had dreams.
She will also be happy.
So she wants to find a new way of living again, just like Xu Jinman said, why can't she live for herself?
"Xu Jinman."
"You said."
"tasty."
The end of Shen Shu's eyes slightly curved, and Xu Jinman suddenly felt something tremble in his brain.
A week passed, and the cryptex still hadn't been unlocked.
Lu Yun called Xu Jinman once, saying that she would come to see the place where she lived temporarily. Xu Jinman discussed with Shen Shu: "She may have to come and stay for a few hours."
Shen Shu didn't hesitate.
After 10 minutes, open the door.
Shen Shu: "..."
Xu Jinman dragged the suitcase and said, "I'm afraid that if she sees something unusual... Didn't you say yes?" What kind of reaction is this?
Shen Shu took out her mobile phone, only to see that there was another one a few hours later—maybe one night.
It is estimated that the news was delayed, and she replied before it jumped out.
Xu Jinman saw this: "Then I go?"
Shen Shu backed away: "...Come in."
Hang up the clothes in the box, but Lu Yun changed her mind and didn't come.
It was Lu Yun who called her several times to urge her to set a time and come to see where she lived, and if she couldn't come, she wouldn't come?Xu Jinman called, and after a few seconds the call was busy.
The same thing happened last time... Lu Yun was really weird.
Just as she was thinking about it, Lu Yun sent a voice. There was no problem in the voice, and she only said that there was something urgent to deal with at the moment.
Xu Jinman stopped there.
It's just—the Xu family's mess seems really big.
...
Shen Shu came in from the balcony of the bedroom, seeing Xu Jinman put the clothes in the box, said: "Put these here, in case she comes next time."
It made sense for Xu Jinman to think about it, anyway, there was no shortage of these clothes.
Hanging up the clothes again, when Shen Shu passed by her, Xu Jinman accidentally saw the black lace in her hand.
Shen Shu cooked two dishes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and fried meat with green peppers. After eating, Xu Jinman took the bowl to the sink.
For a moment, Shen Shu had an absurd illusion—it seemed to satisfy her imagination about the family.
after an hour.
"I'm going to take a shower." Shen Shu got up.
Xu Jinman adjusted the cipher box in his arms and said, "Okay, I'll leave right away."
"..." Shen Shu said, "I didn't chase you away." She didn't go to bed before 11 o'clock.
Xu Jinman looked up in surprise, and Shen Shu had already closed the bathroom door.
The cipher box was wrapped in three layers inside and outside. I don't know what it is important, so I didn't put it in the hotel.She checked that the time was less than 9 o'clock, lowered her head and continued to toss.
In the bathroom there was a faint rustling sound, the faint sound of water...
Xu Jinman couldn't solve the cryptex in his hand.
She hasn't been thinking right lately.
Putting down the cipher box, walked to the refrigerator and took a can of drink, only to find out that it was strawberry wine at the entrance.No degree, very sweet.
Xu Jinman's throat was very dry.
She drank the strawberry wine in just two sips. She was originally a drinker. To her, this degree was the same as plain water, so Xu Jinman didn't worry about it.
Shen Shu came out wrapped in her pajamas and stopped when she saw Xu Jinman sleeping on the sofa.
She was leaning against the sofa with her side face crossed over the other leg, revealing a small piece of tight calf under the drape European-style dress.
Perhaps aware of the gaze, Xu Jinman dizzily opened his eyes.
Shen Shu: "You seem quite hypocritical."
Xu Jinman: "...?"
you try?
