Chapter 7: You better leave it alone

Shen Lang took out a pocket watch from his arms, turning back time, his thoughts returned to an evening ten years ago...
The sky was gray and old. The dirty boy was curled up in the alley in the old street. There were a few yellow weeds on his stray hair and a freshly stolen bread in his hand.
Pedestrians come and go in a hurry, rushing to avoid the rain, and there is no time to stop for such a little guy.
"Boom!"
There was a flash of lightning in the gloomy sky, and suddenly thunder sounded. The boy shook his little hand, and the bread accidentally fell from his arms and rolled to the side of the street corner.
He hurriedly reached out to grab the bread.
"That..." The little girl came over, with a soft voice and a trace of concern in her big eyes.
The boy grabbed the bread and glared at the girl.
The girl took out an exquisite candy box from the bear’s backpack and said to the boy: "Do you eat cream cake?"
She seems to be about five or six years old, with two pink hands holding a box of cream cakes in transparent packaging, and her puff face is a little embarrassed.
The sky was still gloomy, and the old streets, this beautiful little girl like an angel who wanted to walk out of a fairy tale, became the only light in the boy's eyes.
He knew where the girl's cream cake came from. It was a pastry shop across the street, placed in the tallest and most conspicuous part of the window.
"This is strawberry flavor, it's delicious, here you are."
The boy looked at the little girl's white face, suddenly lost his senses, shook his head immediately, and then almost nodded in a ghostly manner...
With his trembling hand, he took the cream cake from the girl's hand. The boy could smell the strawberry scent from the box.
I haven't eaten anything for a whole day, so hungry.
The little girl nodded happily: "Next time I have time to come here, I will give you a delicious strawberry flavor!"
The boy's lips moved slightly, the world in his eyes seemed to be still, and a warm current filled his heart.
At this moment, a black car slowly stopped by the side of the road, the window opened, and a driver greeted the little girl.
"Miss, why did you come here alone? It's raining, get in the car!"
The little girl nodded with a smirk, her skirt swaying with the wind, she ran into the car like a small cloud.
But while running, the girl dropped a pocket watch. The boy stretched out his hand to stop the little girl, but the car had already driven away.
The boy stepped forward and picked up the pure gold pocket watch. The background of the dial was the innocent and cute picture of the little girl.
For the next few days, the boy waited in the alley every day, hoping that the little girl would reappear and he could return the girl's lost pocket watch to the original owner.
But after waiting for a month, the boy never waited for the little girl, but accidentally waited for a bad old man.
That bad old man is Shen Lang's master.
Without that girl, without the pocket watch, without waiting for a month, Shen Lang may still be living on the street now, or he would have starved to death long ago.
That girl was Su Ruoxue, it was she who changed her life trajectory and was the first woman to give herself warmth.
Su Ruoxue probably didn't remember this matter long ago. Shen Lang originally wanted to hide this matter in his heart, but by chance, he and Su Ruoxue had a relationship again.
Of course, there was a reason for this erroneous marriage contract. Su Ruoxue's grandfather had a close relationship with Shen Lang's master, and they arranged this marriage contract.
Su Ruoxue is currently in a difficult situation and is forced to marry by a rich and young man with a deep background. Living together with Shen Lang was actually a way Su Ruoxue's grandfather thought of to protect his granddaughter from harm.
Shen Lang never thought that he would also flash marriage, because he wanted to protect this woman, he readily agreed.
The phone ringtone interrupted his thoughts. Shen Lang picked up the phone and looked at it. It was a familiar number.
"Junior sister, what's the matter?"
"I can't call if nothing is wrong? Brother Lang, miss me?" A sound like a silver bell rang from the other end of the phone.
Shen Lang sighed: "Junior sister, I am so lonely every night, I miss you so much."
"If you become poor, you will still be lonely. Don't you have that beautiful fiancee to accompany you? Let her warm your bed every night."
Listening to the playful voice on the phone, Shen Lang felt a little funny and speechless.
Although he and Su Ruoxue had signed a marriage contract, they didn't even hold their hands, let alone sleep together.
The relationship between the two people is not only not like that of unmarried couples, but even worse than friends.
"By the way, Brother Lang, aren't you short of money to spend? Do you want to send you a few million?"
"No, your brother Lang is a pure man, but I am embarrassed to ask the little woman for money."
"Who is the little woman!"
"Well, you're a beautiful woman in our house."
After teasing with Junior Sister, Shen Lang hung up.
Feeling slightly restored, Shen Lang actually wanted to manage the relationship between himself and Su Ruoxue, but he was a little unable to do so.
He didn't eat anything at night, and Shen Lang was also a little hungry. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he heard laughter in the hall.
This laughter came from Su Ruoxue. It was very nice. Shen Lang was a little surprised. This iceberg would also show a smiling face.
I have to say that Su Ruoxue is really pretty when she smiles, but she has never shown such an expression to herself.
Shen Lang's hearing was different from ordinary people, and he could also hear that Su Ruoxue's phone was a man far away.
"Brother Wenzhi, don't laugh at me. We haven't contacted me all these years. Are you okay now?" Su Ruoxue asked on the phone.
Listening to Su Ruoxue's voice, there was still a trace of concern, and Shen Lang's heart suddenly surged with anger.
Although she and Su Ruoxue have no relationship foundation, they instinctively regard her as her own woman. Shen Lang couldn't bear her own woman calling another man "Brother" and talking and laughing with him.
When Su Ruoxue hung up the phone, she glanced at Shen Lang who was approaching, and said nonchalantly, "I'm going out to meet my old friend at night."
Shen Lang asked blankly: "Who is he from you?"
"What do you care about so much?" Su Ruoxue frowned.
"I am your fiancé in name. Isn't it too much to ask this question?" Shen Lang hummed.
Su Ruoxue frowned and said, "He is one of my classmates named Zhang Wenzhi. Alright, are you finished?"
"No wonder you call someone else Wen Zhi, this big night, would you not go on a date with your Wen Zhi brother?" Shen Lang sneered.
Su Ruoxue was taken aback for a moment, and then the corner of her mouth curled into a joking arc: "Hey, would you still be jealous of me? Then I am really flattered. I tell you Shen Lang, you better leave it alone about this beauty. Brother Wenzhi is at least a hundred times stronger than a man like you!"
That Zhang Wenzhi was Su Ruoxue's university classmate, had made appointments with her several times, and she didn't have time. This time she couldn't shirk it, Su Ruoxue was about to deal with a meal.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lang would have such a big reaction. Su Ruoxue had seen Shen Lang upset earlier, and took this opportunity to deliberately anger him.
The corner of Shen Lang's mouth twitched, and suddenly he pressed Su Ruoxue's fragrant shoulders, sparks splashed in his star eyes.
"Shen Lang, you...what do you want to do, let me go!" Su Ruoxue suddenly became flustered when she saw Shen Lang's domineering look.
"A hundred times stronger? Woman, I want to see how the man you said is a hundred times stronger than me. If not, let's see how labor and management can tune you tonight!" Shen Langyin said coldly.
