Chapter 356: Chapter 356 Not So Necessary
Su Lu shifted a bit, not wanting to seem too deliberate, so she moved very carefully.
Bo Jingshen noticed her cautious movents and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
In fact, even if Su Lu had pushed him away forcefully, Bo Jingshen felt it wouldn’t have been a big deal.
But her cautiousness caught Bo Jingshen sowhat off guard. He couldn’t help feeling… as if Su Xiaolu’s caution was to avoid making him uncomfortable.
So, Bo Jingshen made a rather bold move.
He took an inch and went a mile, acting as if he hadn’t noticed her shifting away. Bo Jingshen leaned in a bit closer to her again.
Su Lu stiffened all over, as if contemplating whether to move again. But in the end, she didn’t move, as if… she had resigned herself to the situation.
Bo Jingshen stood behind her, unable to resist curling up the corners of his mouth.
“Do you see it?” Bo Jingshen leaned forward, whispering close to her ear.
Half of Su Lu’s body felt numb, there was no denying it. Bo Jingshen’s deep, bass voice would make anyone’s body lt.
She was rely having a very honest reaction.
So Su Lu couldn’t be bothered to move away again.
Only then did she seriously look through the eyepiece of the telescope, “Mhm, I see it. Is that the moon? Or so star…?”
…
That night, after watching the stars and happily enjoying grilled fish.
The camping site gradually beca quiet. Su Lu took Zhao Xiaole to the washbasin to wash up, while Bo Jingshen went to set up a new tent for Zhuang Cai Nan.
After everything was ready.
The three of them entered the tent. Inside, there were three sleeping bags situated neatly in a row, two large ones and one small one.
Zhao Xiaole was thrilled. He had never experienced sleeping in a tent and a sleeping bag. He imdiately crawled into his sleeping bag and couldn’t be happier.
His excitent remained, but after all, he had been energetically active all day. No matter how excited, this was just his last burst of energy for the day.
He quickly ran out of battery, and soon he was sleeping soundly like a snoring little pig, even falling asleep before Bo Jingshen had the chance to start telling him a story.
Su Lu also lay down in her own sleeping bag.
Her hearing was very good, so she could even hear the occasional croaking of frogs outside.
“This…” Su Lu raised her hand and pointed to the top of the tent. “It’s actually transparent.”
“Mhm.” Bo Jingshen glanced at the transparent section of the tent’s roof, which was only a small part transparent, but lying down now, they could see a vast expanse of starry sky through it.
“It’s wonderful,” Su Lu said, resting her arms behind her head and squinting as she gazed at the sky.
She felt a bit sleepy herself, let out a light yawn, and her eyes began to droop slightly.
Bo Jingshen turned his attention to Zhao Xiaole, lying between him and Su Lu, pondering. “Do you think…?”
“Hmm?”
“Will he wake up?”
Hearing his words, Su Lu was sowhat puzzled. “Wake up? What do you an?”
“Will he wake up if I move him a bit?” Bo Jingshen asked very seriously.
Su Lu didn’t think much of it and assud Bo Jingshen was planning to get up to use the restroom or sothing, so she said, “No. Zhao Xiaozhu lives up to his na. Especially after a day like this when his batteries are drained, even if the sky fell, he wouldn’t wake up.”
“That’s good.” Bo Jingshen said.
Su Lu started to realize sothing wasn’t quite right because Bo Jingshen’s actions didn’t seem like those of soone planning to go to the restroom.
“Hm?” Su Lu made a puzzled sound.
She then saw Bo Jingshen reach out, pick up the child and his sleeping bag together, placing them where he had been lying down, while he himself moved over to the spot next to Su Lu.
“You…!” Su Lu’s face suddenly flushed red.
“Don’t blush like that, it makes it seem as if I’m going to do sothing to you,” Bo Jingshen said with a low chuckle and a quirk of his lips.
Su Lu glared at him, “If I knew this was what you were like, I wouldn’t have agreed to co out with you all.”
Bo Jingshen said, “I…just wanted to talk to you.”
His voice sounded sowhat downhearted.
Su Lu felt a tinge of reluctance listening to him, realizing her words might have been too harsh and that she might be overreacting.
“What…what do you want to talk about?” Su Lu still frowned at him, but her tone was no longer as severe as before.
“Anything. I just really want to talk to you,” Bo Jingshen said, “You said it yourself just now, you feel it’s a waste of ti. There are only so many decades in a life, and it’s such a pity to waste any of it.”
Su Lu didn’t make a sound but lightly nodded her head.
“So, you see, if it seems right, pick a good day to forgive . There aren’t many decades in life to waste. Let’s not waste any more,” Bo Jingshen said.
Su Lu cast a sidelong glance at him, “We’ll see. When I needed you the most, you weren’t there. And now, I don’t really need you that much. It’s Zhao Xiaole who needs you, and I’m not stopping you from being a father to Zhao Xiaole. But I don’t need you that much.”
“I was there,” Bo Jingshen said softly.
Su Lu ca to the realization, indeed, she had found out that Bo Jingshen was actually inside the operating room during the extrely dangerous birth of Zhao Xiaole.
But after thinking it over, she said, “But I didn’t know you were there, so emotionally, to , you were absent. Let’s not talk about this anymore…”
Bo Jingshen knew this couldn’t be rushed and didn’t intend to keep pressing her, so he listened to her and didn’t continue on the subject.
“Alright then, what else do you want to talk about?”
Su Lu really didn’t want to talk about the two of them anymore, so after thinking a bit, she started another topic, “Jiang Li and Ying Xi…”
She didn’t need to finish asking, and Bo Jingshen answered, “It’s completely off.”
“Sigh.” Su Lu let out a light sigh, then fell silent again. The tent was shrouded in silence once more, as a few frog croaks sounded from outside.
After a mont of silence, Su Lu said softly, “Ying Xi really liked Ah Li.”
“Anyone who isn’t blind could see it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken that hit for Ah Li back then. I openly said that because you are you, I took that hit for you; I probably wouldn’t have done it for just anyone else,” Bo Jingshen said, still feeling a bit itchy on the scar on his back.
It was as if he was reminded of those unbearable days again.
“But Ying Xi did take it for him. At least, I think, in Ying Xi’s eyes, Jiang Li might weigh the sa as you do in my eyes,” Bo Jingshen said.
So actually, he and Su Lu had noticed back then, Ying Xi’s feelings for Jiang Li were more than just friendship.
And because of that incident, Ying Xi’s career and dreams were even ruined, a loss that could not be considered small.
But she accepted it as sweetly as candy…
