C257 You Don't Trust Me?

When Ni Chenjun saw the vigilance and resistance in Shen Yi's eyes, he knew that today's conversation was over.

It was a bad start. A few words made her erect all her thorns on him. She was afraid that she would find a deeper and dark reason for all of his actions tonight.

Ni Chenjun pursed his lips. He was a little lost and helpless. He did not know what he had said wrong or what he had done wrong today.

Was he too aggressive? Or was it that his words had poked a sore spot in her and ignited her self-protection awareness? Or did his actions make her feel threatened?

Rejection. Shen Yi clearly wanted to solve this problem, but why would she be so against him guiding the topic to the Shadow Queen Shen Yi?

Ni Chenjun could not help thinking that imitating acting, imitating behavior, and similar worldviews were enough to prove that Shen Yi liked the late movie queen very much, but why would she be so afraid of him when he mentioned her?

What was there to hide from her, or was it that she simply rejected him? But they had clearly gotten along very well, and he did not know what made her have such a big reaction.

The smile on Ni Chenjun's face disappeared, his eyes fixed on her as if he wanted to see through her entire person.

"You don't trust me."

Shen Yi looked up at him,... "I don't really trust you."

Her attention was too focused, and her fingers unconsciously twisted and blinked. Her vision was very short.

Shen Yi was lying.

Ni Chenjun had completely given up on the topic of tonight's conversation. Since a person had already started to use lies to protect himself, then no matter how much effort he put in, it would only have little effect. It might even cause more intense resistance.

He chose to end this topic. He did not want Shen Yi to use lies to cover herself again and again under his coercion.

"The topic tonight seems to be a little heavy." Ni Chenjun slightly looked away. "Will it be tiring?"

Shen Yi pursed her lips and said softly, "A little."

"If you are tired, you should rest first. This problem can be solved slowly." Ni Chenjun stood up and went to get his suit jacket. "I will send you back."

Shen Yi also stood up. "No need. I remember the way back."

"It's dark now. Just in case, I'll send you back. After all, you're here as a guest. I have to ensure your safety."

Ni Chenjun looked at her as he button up the buttons, "Don't worry. I don't eat people."

You're the one who's nervous when you speak like that. I keep feeling that those few words just now had already made her reveal a flaw. Now, I don't even dare to look directly at him.

But no matter what she said, it would not help. Ni Chenjun was so smart, so he must have noticed her abnormality. If he said more, he would make more mistakes. Shen Yi simply turned around and changed her shoes.

Ni Chenjun followed Shen Yi after she changed her shoes and then closed the door and went downstairs with Shen Yi. The atmosphere in the narrow elevator was a little suffocating. Shen Yi looked at the projection on the smooth elevator door and was conflicted and frustrated.

She could only blame herself for making it so awkward today. Before coming, she did not organize her words properly. What could be said, what could not be said, what should be said. She wanted to solve this problem wholeheartedly. She placed all her hopes on Ni Chenjun. So when Ni Chenjun's perceptive ability exceeded her scope of acceptance, she cowered.

It was useless. Shame on you, and you even offended someone.

The elevator stopped and Ni Chenjun took the lead to walk out. Shen Yi raised her eyes and looked at him as she followed behind him.

Ni Chenjun walked slowly and Shen Yi also followed slowly behind him. When they arrived downstairs, Shen Yi originally wanted to let him go back but when she saw that he had already pressed the elevator, she still swallowed the words in her throat.

It was strange that he was blocking her. After offending her, he even did his duty to send her home.
