Chapter 246 Can’t Bear to Refuse
There are not many people who can be called friends by George Sheng, almost a handful, but there are countless people who want to be friends with him.
This is not the first time Song Xi has said something similar to him. In fact, when the two first came into contact, she said: We can be partners, and if you want, we can also be friends.
How did he respond at that time?
How disdainful is he?
There are so many people who want to be friends with him, who is she?
And knowing that it is based on interests, how can we talk about friendship?
While he lamented her frankness, he also mocked her for not overestimating her abilities. Let alone friends, he thought they would never be able to have a pleasant conversation in this life, but now...
She was sitting behind a pile of colorful candies, especially the lollipop tower directly opposite her. It was not only fancy, it was simply exaggerated. Only children under the age of six would like this kind of thing... and he didn't hate it at all.
Just like to her now, he would still be hurtful and rude to her, but it was undeniable that he also unconsciously began to pay attention to the wording and scale, so that his words were not gentle but not hurtful.
She was still blatant and told him directly, I want to bribe you to be your friend.
She was always like this, never hiding her feelings.
He should refuse without hesitation, especially when faced with her flattering smile, knowing that her intentions were not pure... But when he saw the not-so-happy look in her eyes, he suddenly understood that, in fact, she She didn't really want to be friends with him, nor did she want to gain anything through the relationship with him. She just wanted to live a more secure life.
Because he has become a friend, he shouldn't lose his temper easily and say hurtful words, right?
Song Xi's eyes could speak, and George Sheng was a smart person, so at this moment, maybe she didn't want to hide it from him, or maybe he was rarely patient, so he understood her inner desire.
The sugar in his mouth had melted, and George Sheng's tongue was filled with the sweet and sour taste. Looking away, he replied in a nonchalant tone: "Just a little bit of sugar makes you want to be friends with me."
Not sarcastic, just...a little bit dissatisfied.
Song Xi heard this and asked, "Then what do you want? Show me the way."
George Sheng looked at the candies on the table and said meaningfully: "What do you have that I don't have? Cure my disease first."
After finishing speaking, he paused for two seconds and added: "I don't want to be friends with people who are incompetent."
Song Xi was overjoyed to hear such an answer, her eyes lit up, and she immediately said: "You keep your word!"
George Sheng raised his eyelids and said, "Did I make a mistake?"
The corners of Song Xi's lips curled up, and she really smiled this time, showing happiness from the bottom of her eyes.
George Sheng looked away. Although there was still some candy left in his mouth, he was a little confused and accidentally swallowed the rest alive.
Song Xi knew that George Sheng was true to his word and said that they could be friends, which meant that he would not exclude her. This was really good news for Xi Ben. Standing up, she said, "I'll go to the kitchen to look at the medicine."
She finally left. George Sheng drank water quickly, but the sugar was still stuck in his throat.
Needless to say, like Yuan Bao, the two of them have known each other since they were children. Chang Jingle and Ruan Boyan have also known each other since they were teenagers. Until now, when George Sheng recalled it carefully, it seemed that he had never known each other since he became an adult. Friends.
It's not that he doesn't have the ability in this area, it's just that he simply doesn't want to. Because of his identity, too many people want to get familiar with him with various utilitarian motives. George Sheng can see clearly that doing business can do it. Friends, forget it, talking about money hurts feelings after all.
Looking at Song Xi, she actually has very few friends. Unlike a second-generation official, she socializes in various places every day. She spends time in the hospital every day, and the only two people she can talk to are Han Chunmeng and Gu Dongxu. , from this point of view, she is as 'isolated' as George Sheng.
The two weirdos finally meet each other on a narrow road, like two species of the same species lost in the vast ocean. She sends sound waves to him. Can they be friends?
He wanted to be arrogant and ignore her, but he was afraid of missing her and being alone in the future, so he reluctantly made a friend first.
When Song Xi came out of the kitchen, there was no one in the dining room. She was not surprised and had no worries in her heart. She would never expect George Sheng to sit here and wait for her to come out.
When she had nothing to do to clear the table, Song Xi discovered that there was one missing piece on the lollipop tower because the hole was exposed.
There were only two of them in the house, so it would not be taken away by ghosts. Thinking about it, Song Xi couldn't help laughing.
In the master bedroom on the second floor, George Sheng finished his bath and was leaning on the bed reading a book with a lollipop in his mouth. He was in a good mood.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Chang Jingle called and insisted on asking him to go out. George Sheng said, "I'm going to bed."
Chang Jingle said in an exaggerated tone: "What time is it now that you have to go to bed?"
George Sheng said: "Cultivation of one's moral character."
Chang Jingle said: "You have been very strange recently. Yuan Bao is very strict and doesn't say what's going on with you. Tell me, are you hiding your love behind my back?"
George Sheng said with disgust in his eyes, "Get out."
Chang Jingle said: "Come out quickly, we are all here, if you..."
His nagging voice filled his ears, and George Sheng was annoyed. At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and Song Xi's voice came from outside the door, "The medicine is ready, can I bring it in for you?"
George Sheng hung up the phone instinctively, threw the phone aside, and returned to his expressionless look, "Come in."
Not long after, the door was pushed open. Song Xi came in with a tray, put the medicine on the coffee table, and quickly walked out without saying a word. George Sheng looked at her back and saw her going to the door, and then carrying the medicine. Shopping bags and a tower of lollipops came in.
The candies were placed on the coffee table. Song Xi looked at George Sheng beside the bed and said, "Come and take medicine. The temperature is just right."
He was at home today, and she didn't use a thermos cup to hold the medicine, but a white porcelain bowl, which made the medicine more bitter and black.
George Sheng became anxious when he saw the decoction and asked, "Did you put sugar in it?"
Song Xi responded: "Let it go, I'll teach you how to drink it, hold your nose and take a sip."
George Sheng looked unhappy and replied in a deep voice: "Bitterness is in the taste, what's the use of pinching your nose?"
Song Ximei's beautiful eyes slightly raised, "Don't believe it, many children in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department don't take traditional Chinese medicine. The doctors all tell them to pinch their noses and give it in. As long as you can't smell it, you won't feel the strong taste, and the bitter taste will be less."
After saying that, she urged, "If you don't believe me, try it."
George Sheng was sitting on the sofa, not afraid of anything, and now he looked at death as if he were at home.
Song Xi stood aside, not daring to be aggressive, and had to coax him, so he pulled a lollipop from the tower and peeled it while saying: "You go ahead, I'll prepare the candy for you. If it doesn't work, Lou." There are also preserved fruits and candied fruits underneath.”
George Sheng picked up the bowl and couldn't help but threaten before drinking: "Song Xi, you'd better pray that this medicine will be effective."
After saying that, without leaving any way out for himself, he opened his mouth and poured it down seriously.
