Ms.CEO Falls in Love with Aloof Professor
Chapter 137 - 137 131 Little Fish is the Greatest

Chapter 137: Chapter 131 Little Fish is the Greatest Chapter 137: Chapter 131 Little Fish is the Greatest Sheng Xian seemed to have a pretty good appetite, finishing his meal steadfastly.

He had just cooked and got a lot of grease smell on him, and after eating, he cleaned up the dining table, went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, made a cup of juice, and placed it in front of Lu Jingyan before he went to take a shower.

His series of actions flowed smoothly without any mistakes.

It was too calm.

Lu Jingyan stared at the juice in front of her, even doubting whether the Sheng Xian criticized online was the same Sheng Xian she knew.

Ten minutes later, Sheng Xian came out of the master bedroom, changed into a set of clothes. His hair was still not dried, only half-dried.

Lu Jingyan, hearing the noise, lifted her head from the almost empty juice glass and stared straight at Sheng Xian.

Sheng Xian gave her a puzzled look, leaned over to grab the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV, “What’s going on?”

Lu Jingyan didn’t speak; she finished the last bit of juice, set aside the glass, leaned against the dining table, and slowly stood up. She walked over to the sofa and continued to stare at him.

Feeling a bit unnerved under her gaze, Sheng Xian chuckled, “What exactly is the matter?”

Lu Jingyan thought that Sheng Xian was being so composed probably because she was there, perhaps putting on a stiff act in front of her.

But in reality, his mind must be a total mess, perhaps even close to a breaking point.

Lu Jingyan pursed her lips, “Drink?”

Sheng Xian hesitated, “…”

Lu Jingyan didn’t wait for him to respond, walked to the door, pushed it open, and bent down to drag a large plastic bag inside.

She slammed the door shut and dragged the bag to Sheng Xian’s feet, then bent down and pulled out a can of beer, snapped open the pull tab with a crack, and put it in front of Sheng Xian, “Drink up, I’ve got plenty.”

Sheng Xian stared at the beer bubbling with white foam. After two seconds, he looked down at the big bag on the ground.

It was more than enough.

Anyone who didn’t know might think she had emptied the supermarket’s stock of beer.

Sheng Xian fell silent for a moment, then lifted his eyelids to look at her.

Lu Jingyan also opened a beer for herself, raised it towards Sheng Xian, and motioned, “Drink.”

She took a big gulp, and seeing that he hadn’t moved, considerately added, “If you drink too much, I’ll take care of you.”

Sheng Xian: “…”

Sheng Xian felt like he vaguely understood her intention, but was just a bit unsure.

He watched her for a while, then picked up the beer from the table and took a big gulp.

Lu Jingyan was quite bold, continuously pushing him to drink.

Soon, there was a chaotic line of cans strewn across the coffee table.

Sheng Xian’s phone suddenly pinged. He held a can with one hand resting on his knee and the other hand grabbed his phone to check.

It was a message from Chen Kai.

All screenshots.

He didn’t recognize the person posting in the Moments, but he was very familiar with the avatar in the replies.

It was identical to the person next to him, who was pulling beer cans from the bag and placing them on the table.

Ten screenshots in total.

Eighty percent of the replies came from Madam Lu next to him.

Chen Kai: “Bro, don’t mind the crap online, look at these.”

Chen Kai: “Bro, I’ve counted for you, Yan Bao argued back at people 113 times.”

Chen Kai: “I just got on Moments, scrolled down, it was all her replies, I thought my WeChat got a virus.”

Chen Kai: “Bro, don’t you think Yan Bao is awesome?”

Sheng Xian, who rarely replied to Chen Kai’s trivial messages, exceptionally moved his fingers.

Sheng Xian: “Awesome.”

Sheng Xian: “Little Fish is the most awesome.”

Chen Kai: “?”

Chen Kai: “Who is Little Fish?”

Sheng Xian didn’t reply to Chen Kai’s message, and put down the phone to look at Lu Jingyan.

Lu Jingyan opened a can of beer and handed it to him.

Seeing him staring at her, she made eye contact briefly.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, his eyes seemed much deeper than usual, the look he gave her bold and explicit.

Lu Jingyan blinked, and noticing he was still staring at her, she gradually began to feel uneasy.

Holding a can of beer, she lightly tapped it on the table, “Come, drink!”

Sheng Xian took a sip from the can following her, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.

Lu Jingyan, confused by his stare, checked her face with her phone; there was no makeup smudged or anything stuck to it. Puzzled, she put away her phone and looked at Sheng Xian, “Are you… drunk?”

Sheng Xian chuckled, “No.”

“People who are drunk usually say they aren’t drunk.”

“…”

Sheng Xian chuckled again, his fingers lightly tracing the can, “Little Fish, why did you come to drink with your brother?”

Lu Jingyan opened her mouth, “… because the alcohol is tasty.”

“Is that so,” Sheng Xian paused from tracing the can and gently tapped it, a crisp, faint sound following as he spoke again, “I however feel, Little Fish, that it seems more like you came to comfort your brother.”

“…”

Lu Jingyan thought she had hidden her intentions well, having not specifically mentioned those upsetting matters to avoid touching upon his sore spots.

She couldn’t grasp how he had seen through her intentions.

Lu Jingyan fell silent for a while, then silently gulped down two mouthfuls of beer, and after clearing her throat, she said, “Then what you feel is quite right.”

Sheng Xian let out a brief laugh.

“Why do you keep laughing,” Lu Jingyan, picking at the pull tab, paused for a moment, and then quietly looked at Sheng Xian before whispering, “You don’t have to force yourself, if you feel sad, just feel sad, don’t worry, I won’t record this and I won’t mock you later.”

Sheng Xian quieted down.

“If you don’t trust me, I can swear…”

“I trust you.” Before she could finish speaking, Sheng Xian interrupted, “I trust you, but really, I’m not forcing myself, I’m quite happy, especially knowing that you truly came to comfort me, it makes me even happier.”

Lu Jingyan felt more and more like his words were meant to pacify, “Really?”

“Really, I’m not in show business, don’t rely on popularity for a living, it’s just a matter of a day or two, truly not worth fussing over.”

Sheng Xian’s words made sense, but Lu Jingyan still felt that while logic is logic, people have emotions and couldn’t possibly be completely unaffected.

Sheng Xian added, “Besides, when I took on Su Jiu’s case, I knew it would be like this.”

Lu Jingyan looked up, “You knew?”

“Yeah.”

“You knew, so why did you still take it?”

“Because I wanted the truth to outrun public opinion.” Sheng Xian paused, “Because I think Su Jiu did nothing wrong, those who should pay the price are the cyber bullies, not her.”

“It’s unreasonable to make someone pay just because you don’t like them.”

“Everyone can shine their own light, but shouldn’t snuff out someone else’s.”

Lu Jingyan remembered the words Sheng Xian’s assistant told her before the New Year when she went to see Sheng Xian at the court, the scene of the old man stuffing a pile of coins into Sheng Xian’s hands.

She suddenly felt, what truly moved her wasn’t just how excellent Sheng Xian’s exterior was, but the person beneath it.

His parents had divorced when he was very young, forming their own new families, and these years must have been difficult for him, but he held no grievances against the world.

The world has kissed me with pain, I will repay it with song.

Lu Jingyan always felt she should say something or do something.

She quietly looked at Sheng Xian for a while, then picked up her phone, and after a moment, she looked at Sheng Xian and said, “Open WeChat, tap me.”

Sheng Xian did as she said, and a line of gray text appeared in the chat box: [I tapped “Lu Jingyan”, and she gave me a hug]

He suddenly laughed, looked at the phone screen for two seconds, then looked up at her, “Little Fish, how are you so good at this?”
