"Are you sure you want to ask this kind of question at this time?" Fu Chenghai asked her with a smile and a frown.

Shen Hua nodded firmly without any emotion.

A moment of disappointment flashed across Fu Chenghai's eyes.

"Yes." He told the truth, observing Shen Hua carefully.

"Oh," Shen Hua broke into another piece of apple and slowly started to chew it.

"Are you unhappy?" Fu Chenghai asked.

"That's not true," Shen Hua said, "peeling apples is normal. When I was in junior high school, I even peeled apples for my roommate."

"Well, just don't think too much about it." Fu Chenghai calmed down and looked much calmer.

"I won't think too much about it, don't worry," Shen Hua smiled and pierced another piece of apple. "I have to say that your knife skills are pretty good. You can peel it well and cut it into even pieces."

Fu Chenghai picked up a piece and asked thoughtfully: "What about you, has someone peeled an apple for you before?"

Shen Hua was stunned for a moment. Her hand that was about to take another piece suddenly stopped. After a moment, she smiled slightly and said, "Want to know my past?"

"I don't think too much about it," Fu Chenghai said, "It's just a bit unfair."

"Why is it unfair?" Shen Hua asked.

"You know my past relationship experiences, but I don't know yours."

Shen Hua looked at Fu Chenghai in surprise, "Do you know what you are talking about now?"

"I know," Fu Chenghai said with serious eyes, "Shen Hua, I'm not kidding."

Shen Hua felt as if a bomb had been thrown into her peaceful heart. There was a loud bang and water splashed everywhere. Even she was knocked unconscious. Her heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Why do you want to know?"

"I can't tell," Fu Chenghai looked away, "I just feel... you're not honest enough, and I feel a little stuck in my heart."

I feel a little stuck...

Shen Hua carefully thought about the meaning behind these five words. She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't understand it.

It was clearly promised at the beginning that she would just be Fu Jian's stepmother, but that doesn't seem to be the case now.

"Fu Chenghai, are you...serious?"

"Of course." His ink-colored eyes were extremely dark, with deep determination in them.

Shen Hua closed her eyes and breathed slightly.

"Why...why did you agree to marry me in the first place? You just wanted me to be Fu Jian's stepmother, and then help you find a good school for Fu Jian?"

"That's what I thought at first." Fu Chenghai lowered his eyes. He did not deny that he had "used" Shen Hua from the beginning.

"Then you should have investigated me in advance, right?" Shen Hua boldly guessed.

Fu Chenghai frowned, "Yeah."

Shen Hua took a breath of cold air, "So, you approached me from the beginning because of my identity. Because my identity can make you profit, let Fu Jian enter school, or... you think you can... Do I get more here?”

"No," Fu Chenghai pursed his thin lips tightly, his expression solemn, "You are... very important to me."

Shen Hua chuckled sadly, "How important is it? Can it be as important to you as Zeng Yu back then?"

Fu Chenghai frowned, "Why do you always mention her? Didn't you say you don't care?"

Shen Hua was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said calmly, "I don't care, I'm just curious."

Fu Chenghai looked serious, "What are you curious about?"

Shen Hua: "I'm curious - even if I can't achieve righteousness if I'm from the wrong family, why can't I achieve righteousness if I'm from the right family?"

Fu Chenghai pursed his thin lips deeply, "True love is rare, and it must be very rare to achieve positive results. Is there anything you can't understand?"

Shen Hua turned her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes gurgling and shining, looking at him closely, "Do you think you have true feelings for Zeng Yu?"

Fu Chenghai looked solemn and said, "Yes."

He said solemnly.

Shen Hua smiled, "Then why can you let it go so quickly?"

Fu Chenghai: "It's not as fast as you think. I just suddenly realized that there are other things that are more worthy of cherishing and more important."

Shen Hua: "I'm different from you. I can't let go as quickly as you."

Fu Chenghai smiled bitterly, "I thought Zeng Yu was the only one trapped in the past, but I didn't expect you to be the same."

Shen Hua: "No, I'm not stuck in the past, I just don't place my hope in the future."

Fu Chenghai frowned, "Do you think I can give you hope?"

Shen Hua turned her eyes and looked at Fu Chenghai curiously with eyes shining like fireflies.

She laughed and said, "Fu Chenghai, something is wrong with you."

Fu Chenghai sighed and gave her a gentle look, "Did you just realize it? I knew something was wrong with me from the first moment I saw you."

Shen Hua was slightly startled.

"Forget it," Fu Chenghai stopped asking, "Some things are wrong and it's useless no matter how much you talk about them."

Even if it wasn't a chicken-to-duck conversation, Shen Hua would still pretend to be deaf and dumb.

She has always been smart.

However, Shen Hua was confused.

She vaguely realized what Fu Chenghai wanted to say to her, but it seemed that he didn't want to express it directly.

That kind of reluctance is not shyness, but a kind of unspeakable secret, and you can't even speak.

He seemed to hope that she would ask something, but what could she ask?

Shen Hua couldn't tell him directly: Fu Chenghai, stop your wishful thinking, I won't like you as a suspect, or even a murderer.

In the current situation, it's better to pretend that you don't understand.

At least until we get his DNA sample, it's better to maintain this state.

A conversation that has no beginning and no end, and ends in vain.

They were immersed in the boring plot of the movie, both of them remained silent, and they didn't know if the other one had noticed this bloody plot of you love me, I love him, and in the end one died, one was injured, and the other was disabled.

But Shen Hua fell asleep in Fu Chenghai's arms.

She used to do this often.

Gu Lang would hold her and sleep together, sleeping on the sofa until he woke up naturally. Even if she pressed his arm to numbness, he would not disturb her sleep.

She was pampered infinitely. Even if she woke up and didn't want to get up and stayed in bed, Gu Lang would let her do it, prepare a meal and let her sit on the sofa to eat.

She didn't even have to touch the ground with her feet.

But Fu Chenghai didn't like her.

When Shen Hua woke up, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for lunch.

She rolled over and got up and found that she was sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.

Fu Chenghai, with his back to her and his arms folded, seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Shen Hua was a little hungry and her stomach made a growling sound.

There were only people sleeping in front of me who didn't want to wake up, and there was no food in sight.

Fu Chenghai never seemed to worry about such trivial matters.

Coming to her is completely spontaneous.

He didn't eat at noon, and he didn't suggest eating. He just ate the apple he peeled with her, and then slept with her until now.

"Hey," Shen Hua gently pushed her shoulder, "I'm hungry, are you hungry? I'll get some food, what do you want to eat?"

Fu Chenghai gradually woke up from his sleep and saw that Shen Hua had sat up behind him. He also struggled against sleepiness and rolled up.
