Chapter 550 Why Lie
Xu Zhishan returned to the second-floor terrace and was about to return to her previous seat, but was suddenly stopped by Jiang Yunhan.
At this time, in order to hide the traces of crying on her face, Xu Zhishan went back to her room and put on a black facial mask before coming to the terrace.
She changed out of her red nightgown that had been soaked by her, put on the remaining leopard-print nightgown, and put on a bathrobe over it.
Once she had everything ready, she felt that as long as her explanation was reasonable, no one would think any further.
But Xu Zhishan didn't expect Jiang Yunhan to notice that she had changed into a nightgown, and asked directly out of curiosity.
Although she had thought of the reason for changing into her nightgown in advance, she saw that Jiang Yunhan's eyes were too sharp when he looked at her, as if he had discovered something.
This made her, who thought Jiang Yunhan and Su Chenyi might have already confirmed their relationship, feel guilty instantly, as if the feeling of having an affair reappeared.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze in an instant because of Xu Zhishan's long silence.
Even the service staff who were grilling food diligently next to the sofa slowed down their movements.
They also felt the brief awkwardness in the atmosphere here, lowered their heads, but looked curiously.
Ou Junli saw Xu Zhishan stop walking towards her, and when she heard Jiang Yunhan's question, she remembered that Xu Zhishan had specially opened the door for them to check the red nightgown.
She remembered that what scared Xu Zhishan was the red nightgown hanging on the wall.
She looked at the leopard print nightgown under Xu Zhishan's bathrobe and asked doubtfully:
"Yes! Sister Shanshan, we all saw the red nightgown hanging in your bathroom.
Huh? Why don’t I see you wearing it? Isn’t that your favorite color, red?
In fact, Li Chuyue also discovered that when she was observing why Xu Zhishan was applying a facial mask, she found that Xu Zhishan was not wearing a red nightgown.
Although she didn't know the reason, she had already noticed that Xu Zhishan was not in a good state at the moment, so she didn't intend to ask too much.
On the other side, Chen Yaxin didn't think much about it. She looked at Xu Zhishan who was standing there. While putting the porridge in front of the empty seat where Xu Zhishan was going to sit, she helped Xu Zhishan explain:
"Shanshan must have been scared by that dress, so she didn't feel like wearing her favorite red color~
Shanshan, come quickly! Open the lean meat porridge and put it here. Drink it quickly."
Jiang Yunhan listened to what Chen Yaxin said with his eyes tilted to the side, smiled slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Xu Zhishan and said:
"So Miss Xu also likes red? No wonder she looked a little reluctant when she saw me wanting to choose a red nightgown.
But...it's a pity that Miss Xu didn't wear that nightgown.
I was thinking of appreciating Miss Xu’s beautiful figure in her red nightgown! But unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance…”
Jiang Yunhan's words made everyone feel that Xu Zhishan, who was not wearing a red nightgown at the moment, was a little abnormal.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhishan, who had originally wanted to open her mouth to elaborate on the reason after hearing Chen Yaxin's explanation, suddenly shut her mouth.
For a moment, the atmosphere became even more inexplicably strange, and even Chen Yaxin, who was slow to react, looked up at Xu Zhishan.
She thought about Jiang Yunhan's words and began to wonder if there was another reason why Xu Zhishan didn't wear the red nightgown.
Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Xiao, who were standing next to Jiang Yunhan, looked at each other and felt a little strange.
They didn't think Xu Zhishan was a little strange, but they thought Jiang Yunhan's words and behavior were strange.
At this time, Xiao Zhuo moved closer to Xiao Xiao, covered his mouth with his hands, looked puzzled, and muttered softly:
"Sis Han, since when did you start liking red?
Besides... Sister Han isn't someone who cares about what others wear, so why would she care about Sister Xu?"
“I don’t know, maybe Sister Han suddenly likes the color red.
It could also be that Sister Han felt compatible with someone for the first time, so she talked so much, pretending to have something in common and showing some concern for him.
This time, Xiao Zhuo did not confirm Xiao Xiao's guess because she felt that Jiang Yunhan was too abnormal today.
She knew very well that Jiang Yunhan liked blue, the transparent light blue like the blue lake here, and the blue that could be seen through the icebergs in the cold Antarctic.
This is also the reason why Jiang Yunhan likes to come to Blue Lake Bay so much. She can not only appreciate her favorite colors, but also soak in the hot springs to regulate her cold body.
Xiao Zhuo knows the difference between blue and red. Jiang Yunhan never even looks at red, and rarely wears red clothes.
And she understood that Jiang Yunhan didn't like the color red, just like when he was forced to inherit his father's business and was involved in bloody events, he didn't like the sight of bright red blood.
Because Jiang Yunhan was forced to participate in things that required bloodshed, when the enemies in front of her were bleeding, she always looked away and left without even taking a second look.
Therefore, Xiao Zhuo, who did not understand Jiang Yunhan's intention, looked worried and muttered to himself:
"Sister Han clearly doesn't like red...why did you lie?"
At this time, Xu Zhishan also felt that Jiang Yunhan in front of her was a little strange, and she felt that Jiang Yunhan had something else to say.
In particular, Jiang Yunhan's eyes were particularly bright when he looked at her, and when he praised her, his eyes were full of real anticipation.
But she always felt that Jiang Yunhan's deep and beautiful eyes seemed to be hypnotic. As long as he asked, she couldn't help but blurt out the secret.
It was as if he could see into her heart, knew what she was thinking, and knew that she was feeling guilty, sad, and in pain.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Ou Jinghuan placed the wine glass in his hand on the marble table, making a crisp sound.
When Xu Zhishan heard the noise made by Ou Jinghuan, she instantly realized that she seemed to have been staring at Jiang Yunhan for a little too long.
The next second, she heard Ou Jinghuan's tone of displeasure, and he said with a feeling of disgust:
"Don't stand in front of me all the time, it's an eyesore."
Hearing this, Xu Zhishan glanced at Ou Jinghuan, who was looking dissatisfied, and curled her lips in grievance.
Then, she quickly disappeared from Ou Jinghuan's sight and sat down in the empty seat between Li Chuyue and Ou Junli.
Of course, she didn't forget to answer everyone's questions, nor did she forget to answer Jiang Yunhan's words, and explained with a smile:
“I was indeed frightened by the red nightgown, but I didn’t wear it because when I was picking it up, it fell to the ground and got wet accidentally.
You all know I'm lazy! I didn't even bother drying it and just put on this leopard print outfit.
"But Miss Jiang is such a careful observer! And you don't have to feel bad, I look even better in leopard print. I can show you now~"
For a moment, Xu Zhishan's sometimes self-deprecating and sometimes narcissistic performance made everyone laugh.
Even Jiang Yunhan was stunned by Xu Zhishan's answer. He didn't know whether to agree to let Xu Zhishan show off her figure or to refuse politely.
