Chapter 27: "I'm not afraid of you, kid."
Chapter 27 "I'm not afraid of you, kid."
Xu Youyou was stunned for a moment, and her voice stopped abruptly. Only a pair of big eyes flickered at him, as if she could speak.
His dry fingers pressed against her skin, the temperature was so high that her little heart was thumping.
Mo Shenbai's thin lips hooked slightly, and his voice was low and deep, "I'm not afraid of you, kid."
kid? !
This name is inexplicably a little spoiled!
Mo Shenbai let go of his hand, and Xu Youyou carefully moved a little closer to him, "I'm close to you, you really don't feel uncomfortable?"
He nodded.
Xu Youyou finally moved to his side in peace of mind, and smelled the faint, clear woody fragrance on his body, and couldn't help feeling a little sweet in his heart.
"If my approach will make you uncomfortable, please remember to tell me, don't worry about me..."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Shenbai suddenly grabbed her little hand, and looked sideways at her, his dark eyes seemed to say: You think I look very uncomfortable?
Xu Youyou reacted, smiled and withdrew her hand, turned her head and looked out the car window...
His approach, even physical contact, would not make him feel uncomfortable. This thought made Xu Youyou inexplicably happy.
Although the driver was better than Xu Youyou, he was not injured, but because he was the driver, he went with the traffic police to deal with the traffic accident. Now it is Pei Chuan who is driving.
He saw the natural interaction between the two through the rearview mirror, and raised his eyebrows in doubt.
What kind of magical power does this Xu Youyou have that Mr. Mo treats him so differently!
The carriage was quiet for a while, when Mo Shenbai's deep voice suddenly sounded, "Xu Jialu was promoted last month."
Xu Youyou turned her head to look at him with a confused expression on her face, "I know."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Mo Shenbai said more bluntly, "He now counts his annual salary, plus bonuses for various projects, and overtime pay."
Now Xu Youyou understood, showing her white teeth, "Do you think it's strange that my elder brother asks me for money?"
"He's not usually like this." Mo Shenbai knew that Xu Jialu was not serious, but he was not a person who was shameless enough to spend women's money.
But he couldn't think of any reason why Xu Jialu insisted on asking Xu Youyou to give him money.
"I grew up in the countryside and lived with my grandma. My parents are not very close."
Xu Youyou brushed her loose hair with her fingers, and her curled eyelashes covered the fleeting gloom in her eyes, "Maybe they feel that they owe me a lot these years, so they are always more than polite to me after picking me up, and they are always careful , for fear that I might feel uncomfortable."
But they didn't know that it was because of their polite and careful way of getting along that made it difficult for her to integrate into this family.
Mo Shenbai is so smart, he instantly understood what she meant, "He wants you to feel needed."
Xu Youyou nodded, "He always uses the excuse of not having money every time, and asks me for money in various ways, but he also buys me things in different ways."
The expensive bags and clothes in her wardrobe have long exceeded the pocket money she gave him.
Mo Shenbai didn't speak, the eyes staring at her were a little more meaningful.
"My brother looks unreliable, but he is actually very nice. He even said that you are his bole, his best friend."
Mo Shenbai did not believe that Xu Jialu would speak well of himself in front of her, "He never scolded me in front of you?"
"Uh..." Xu Youyou smiled guiltyly and shook her head when she thought of the scene of Xu Jialu scolding Mo Laogou endlessly every time he came back from overtime.
Mo Shenbai didn't expose her lie. After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "You never blamed them?"
She was sent away as soon as she was born, and was brought up by her elderly grandmother. She never enjoyed the warmth of the family and the love of her parents.
