Chapter 952: Chapter 933: I Believe in You

Shen Ruozhuo and Su Lin sat at the dining table, Shen Ruozhuo felt a bit unsettled and didn’t eat much.

Su Lin was probably really hungry and thought the food was quite delicious, so he ate a little more, and then a little more.

“Su Lin, do you think I’m a particularly bad woman?”

“Yeah.” Su Lin was busy eating and didn’t think much, he just replied to Shen Ruozhuo without hesitation.

After he said it, Su Lin realized he might have misspoken. How could he say that in front of a girl?

Su Lin looked up, eating her food and still calling her bad, what kind of behavior was that?

“Well, that… I just said it casually, don’t take it to heart.”

Shen Ruozhuo shrugged, “It’s okay, everyone says I’m a ‘green tea bitch.’ You know, only people who are pretty and particularly calculating can be called that, some people want to be one but can’t even manage it.”

This kind of self-consolation sounded odd to Su Lin.

“No… actually, after spending time with you, I found you’re not as bad as the rumors say, you’re actually… actually quite nice.” Was this an attempt to remedy the situation?

Shen Ruozhuo gave a light smile, “You don’t need to say nice things to comfort me, I know what kind of person I am. But… I did it just to defend my own happiness, to hold onto what’s important to me. Unlike Lou Xi, who has Qin Mobai’s unconditional love, I have to fight for what I want myself.”

Su Lin slowly ate, suddenly understanding the saying, ‘Soft mouth after eating others’ food.’

“Later, I figured it out on my own, or rather reality forced me to see it clearly. I know I’m no match for Qin Mobai, never can beat Lou Xi, so I can only give in.” Shen Ruozhuo had thought it through thoroughly.

However, Su Lin was unsure of Shen Ruozhuo’s intentions in telling him all this.

“Earlier, when Lin Qianqian called me, I wanted to tell her to stop, that no matter how hard she tries, she can’t deal with Lou Xi. But now she’s stuck in her own horns, and she doesn’t listen to anything I say.” This was Shen Ruozhuo speaking from experience. “Then I thought, if I pretend to team up with Lin Qianqian, I’ll know what she plans to do to Lou Xi, and then I can tell you, so you can inform Qin Mobai and the others to be prepared.”

It seemed like a good idea.

But… How could Su Lin trust Shen Ruozhuo wasn’t just pretending to be sincere?

“I know you doubt me, I know none of you believe me. That’s okay, when it’s all over, you’ll know if I really want to be a normal person.”

“I believe you.” Suddenly, Su Lin said this to Shen Ruozhuo, though he wasn’t quite sure why.

Shen Ruozhuo was surprised by Su Lin’s words.

She hadn’t expected Su Lin to say that, to believe in her.

All this time, no one truly believed her, no one genuinely stopped to have a meal with her, no one willingly fixed fuses and faucets for her without question.

“Su Lin, I actually think you’re particularly handsome.”

“Cough, cough…” Su Lin coughed twice, turning his head to avoid Shen Ruozhuo’s gaze.

This woman seemed like she was sent by God to beguile people, he mustn’t fall for it, mustn’t fall for it.

Seeing Su Lin’s awkwardness, Shen Ruozhuo laughed, a genuine laugh, and the whole restaurant was filled with Shen Ruozhuo’s laughter.
