she is the reward of time

The old man's funeral was done according to his requirements before his death, and he didn't make a fuss.

It's just that his ashes have to be taken back to Lingnan by Chen Mingsheng and buried in the Chen family's cemetery.

This is also the last request of the old man.

Su Xi was originally going back to Lingnan the next day, but for some reason she stayed and attended the old man's funeral, and then returned to Lingnan with Chen Mingsheng.

Before leaving, Zheng Chun told Chen Mingsheng: "No matter what you think in your heart now, you are a man, so don't speak so harshly to her, if you get together, you will break up."

Chen Mingsheng didn't speak, he seemed impatient with her education and didn't agree with it.

Zheng Chun was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, so he gave him a blank look, and then turned back to the room with Gu Shishu.

She didn't dare to let Chen Mingsheng go first, for fear that she would break down and cry again when she saw the car going away.

Afterwards, Chen Mingsheng and Su Xi got into the car.

It was Su Xi who drove the car when he came here, but this time when he went back, it was Chen Mingsheng who drove by himself.

Originally, Zheng Chun planned to go back to Lingnan to send the old man's ashes back in person, but Chen Mingsheng said no.

Since the funeral was held here in Beijing, Zheng Chun and the others had to put their heart into it.

For the rest, let yourself do your best.

Compared to the way, Su Xi also said a few words to him, but this time when he went back, Su Xi closed his eyes and fell asleep the whole time, without saying a word.

She ignored Chen Mingsheng and minimized her sense of existence, hoping that Chen Mingsheng could also ignore herself.

But in fact, Chen Mingsheng looked at her countless times along the way.

Su Xi was sleeping with his eyes closed, and he wasn't dead, so how could he not feel that someone was staring at him?
When she was on the mountain road, she almost couldn't help it. She wanted to open her eyes and talk to Chen Mingsheng, so that he could drive properly and stop being distracted.

After all, there are cliffs all around, if they rush out, they will be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks.

It was just that she held back in the end, she was afraid that if she made such a move, the atmosphere between the two would be explosive.

It's fine to talk well, if a quarrel breaks out, it's your own fault.

I don't know how long it took, Su Xi really felt a little drowsy at the back, suddenly the car braked suddenly, and the body rushed forward fiercely.

The two people in the car also flew forward according to the inertia. Fortunately, they were both wearing seat belts, and they were strangled back again.

Chen Mingsheng was the driver and knew the road conditions. Although he was frightened, he didn't have the same reaction as Su Xi.

When Su Xi opened his eyes, his face was a little pale, and he was in a great daze and fear.

She asked in surprise, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Then she realized that something was pressing on her chest.

Looking down, it turned out to be Chen Mingsheng's hand.

It was a bit embarrassing to focus on, but Su Xi didn't get angry.

Because she knew that Chen Mingsheng wanted to protect herself when the accident almost happened just now, that's why it happened.

Su Xi's heart was shocked at this moment, it was even bigger and stronger than the shock brought by Chen Mingsheng's confession of loving her in the hospital that day.

She has liked Chen Mingsheng for so many years, but has been ignored by Chen Mingsheng.

How many people in Lingnan laughed openly and secretly, and she posted Chen Mingsheng, but she didn't care.

It wasn't until later that she saw the women around Chen Mingsheng change one after another like flowing water, and her heart was hurt again and again, that she woke up.

The ridicule outside cannot bring her harm, but Chen Mingsheng can.

Moreover, every time Chen Mingsheng hurt her, he was more straightforward and ruthless than the outsiders.

So Su Xi wants to take back her love, and doesn't want to be trampled on by Chen Mingsheng again.

She also didn't understand why a person who had trampled on her sincerity countless times would have the first reaction of wanting to protect herself in a critical moment?
Su Xi stared wide-eyed, looking at the person in the driver's seat, so bewildered and terrified.

She had an answer ready to come out in her heart, hoping to get affirmation from Chen Mingsheng, but afraid of getting no from Chen Mingsheng.

So, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, her lips trembled.

Chen Mingsheng has calmed down from the sudden situation just now.

According to his temper, there is a high probability that the two cars that jumped in line just now will be scrapped on the spot.

But because Su Xi was in the car, he was unexpectedly good-tempered like never before, and he had no intention of chasing after him to fight.

He looked at Su Xi's appearance at this moment, pitiful, his eyes were wet, but he seemed to be hiding a lot of words, which made people feel pity.

Chen Mingsheng stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Su Xi's head.

But Su Xi was too lazy to dodge suddenly.

"Don't do this." Her voice was also a little trembling, and there was even a little crying sound, and she didn't know if she was scared or had other emotions in it.

Su Xi lowered her head, and continued: "At first I was forcibly pulled here by you, but I stayed to attend your grandfather's funeral because of the friendship between our two families, and it was my parents' wishes. Don't misunderstand me."

Chen Mingsheng: "..."

How could I tell her whether to stay or not to attend the funeral?

"Xixi..." His voice was rare and gentle, but there was also a bit of uncommon awkwardness in it, "I know you must still have me in your heart, and I can understand what you said, after all, in the past I did Did a lot of shitty stuff."

Su Xi: "What do you mean by telling me this now?"

"I hope to save you."

"Why? Just because your grandpa left suddenly and lost someone, so you need someone else to replace you?"

Chen Mingsheng: "..."

Or just forget it and continue to communicate with her, and the little goodwill I had just now will be gone again.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to be silent.

But Su Xi suddenly became agitated and refused to let him go.

"Others don't know how important your grandfather is in your heart, don't I know? You just want to save me because you suddenly lost someone, Chen Mingsheng, you don't really love me at all! You..."

With her lips blocked, Su Xi felt a grinding pain.

Then, Chen Mingsheng bit her hard.

Su Xi even felt that her lower lip was bitten off.

Pained and wronged, she scolded Chen Mingsheng angrily: "You bastard! You scum!"

Chen Mingsheng: "Well, I'm a scumbag."

Su Xi: "..."

She turned around and was about to open the door to get out of the car, but was pulled back by Chen Mingsheng.

"You said that I don't love you enough because I suddenly wanted to find you back because I lost my grandpa, but Xixi, grandpa is in the car right now, and grandpa is watching everything I do and say, what do you think? Am I going to lie to him?!"

Su Xi glanced back.

I braked so hard just now, the box on the back seat didn't even move a bit.

Maybe there really is a spirit in the sky, so Chen Mingsheng didn't dare to lie.
