Chapter 92 She Really Doesn’t Seem to Care

Shen Yixiao immediately looked over at those people.

Gu Zhiyuan was still bargaining quietly in his ear: "I've tried so hard to help you and made such a great sacrifice, you have to help me too."

"My request is not high. Please make a list of your brother's habits and hobbies, take me to his occasions, and tell me when he returns to the Shen family's old house..."

Shen Yixiao didn't hear a word she said. He looked ahead, but his peripheral vision was always closely watching Cen Wan's movements.

She was carrying a bag that was wider than she was, making her look even thinner.

There was a particularly high flight of stairs leading up to the pavilion, with a large stone lying across the middle. When Cen Wan came up, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull her up. Just as he had halfway extended his hand, he saw her easily step over, even turning around to help Jiang Yuan.

When Cen Wan came up, she looked up and met Shen Yixiao's gaze. Her eyes fell on Gu Zhiyuan's hand on his, and she immediately looked away.

My heart is filled with bitterness.

Several people met in the pavilion. Ji Yuanchen gasped: "Brother Yi, why are you walking so... fast..."

He rubbed his eyes, widened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Gu Zhiyuan and his arm: "!!!"

What's going on? Is he dazzled?

Shen Yixiao frowned slightly as he looked at Cen Wan, whose face was neither red nor out of breath.

When did I, who used to get tired after just a few moves, become so physically strong?

Gu Zhiyuan quietly observed the expressions of the others and said with a smile, "The road ahead seems quite steep, why don't we go together?"

Seeing that Shen Yixiao didn't respond, she poked his arm with her finger and signaled him with her eyes: Speak?

"Where's Ah Yan?"

Ji Yuanchen: "Finally, someone has the same idea as me! I haven't seen him since I started climbing the mountain! Did he fall off the mountain?"

"Can't you just hope for me to be alright?"

Just after he asked, Qin Yanxiu slowly appeared from the other side. He was dressed neatly, looking like an elegant gentleman, and there was not even a speck of dirt on his shoes.

"How did you get from there?"

Qin Yanxiu clapped his hands: "The cable car is over there."

“???”

Ji Yuanchen: "You cheated!"

Qin Yanxiu raised the corners of his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly: "Did they say we can't take the cable car?"

If the cable car was only built halfway up the mountain, he would have taken it directly to the top of the mountain.

After saying that, he glanced at the few people indifferently, and looked at the current situation with a smile.

"Miss Gu, there will be many small paths soon, so please hold on to Yixiao."

Shen Yixiao glanced at him coldly, but he pretended not to see it.

Gu Zhiyuan had been observing Cen Wan's expression and didn't hear clearly. She looked up blankly and asked, "Huh?"

Shen Yixiao raised his foot and stepped forward: "Let's go."

"Oh." Gu Zhiyuan looked back and hurriedly followed.

Qin Yanxiu also followed slowly with his hands in his pockets.

To eat melons, of course you have to be on the front line.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Cen Wan: "Wan Wan..."

Cen Wan took her hand and said, "Let's go too."

The road from halfway up the mountain to the top was bumpy and there were many different routes. Shen Yixiao looked at the map and chose the steepest one.

Gu Zhiyuan was not very athletic and had to hold on for a long time. When he couldn't walk anymore, he had to ask Shen Yixiao for help.

Cen Wan was walking behind and saw Shen Yixiao pulling Gu Zhiyuan up the hill from time to time. The two of them walked and talked together, and he even made a crutch for her with a branch in the middle of the way.

She looked at the winding road ahead and took a deep breath.

This day will come sooner or later.

…

By the time they reached the top of the mountain, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on Cen Wan's forehead.

"My legs are weak. I haven't done such a lot of exercise in a long time." Jiang Yuan half leaned on her, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

Cen Wan took out a thermos from her bag and handed it to her: "The water temperature is just right, drink some and take a rest."

Jiang Yuan took it and panted: "Your face is not even red, aren't you tired?"

Cen Wan shook her head: "Not bad."

She looked down the mountain and took in the entire South City. The tall buildings were as small as dust. The breeze blew past, lifting the strands of hair by her ears.

She reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears, took a deep breath and exhaled, as if her heart had opened up.

Ji Yuanchen had already slipped over to Qin Yanxiu's side, looking at this and that, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yan, what's going on now?"

Qin Yanxiu patted the stain on his pants caused by the branches and said leisurely, "Don't worry about adult matters, kid. Go play with your Ultraman."

"I..." Ji Yuanchen was so angry that he wanted to go find Chen Yixiao, but he took a step back.

Not far away, Shen Yixiao and Gu Zhiyuan stood together. He unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to him. Gu Zhiyuan didn't take it. She lowered her head and took a sip from his hand.

Ji Yuanchen opened his mouth into an O shape and couldn't help but look towards Cen Wan.

Cen Wan also saw this scene. She only glanced at it briefly before looking away: "Yuanyuan, let's find a place to set up the tent."

Seeing the two people turn around and leave, Shen Yixiao frowned slightly, and with a cold face, he stuffed the water into Gu Zhiyuan's hand: "What are you doing?"

Gu Zhiyuan: "I'm helping you. Otherwise, how can you tell whether she has you in her heart?"

"Don't look so disgusted, I don't dislike you yet! This is the trick I was going to use on your brother, you got it for free!"

Shen Yixiao looked at her for a second, and then opened his thin lips slightly: "My brother hates chattering women the most."

Gu Zhiyuan froze.

Shen Yixiao sneered and walked towards the camp.

Gu Zhiyuan came back to his senses: "Wait for me, let me explain myself clearly!"

There are not many people camping in the mountains this season. Ji Yuanchen had the site prepared in advance and the necessary things were brought up. They only needed to set up a tent by themselves.

When Shen Yixiao went over, Cen Wan was already installing the pole. Jiang Yuan didn't know how to do it very well, so he stood by and handed her things to help.

Cen Wan was very skilled and set up the tent in no time. She squatted on the ground, used tools to nail the ground nails into the soil, and secured the tent with windproof ropes.

The loose hair on her forehead hung down, covering the side of her face, but her movements were quick and decisive, her technique was professional, and there was no dragging of her feet at all.

Shen Yixiao looked at her, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.

She is really different from before.

In the past, Cen Wan had never done housework before. Her hands were only good at painting and she couldn't do any housework or cooking.

In the past, Cen Wan was frail and would often complain of being tired, let alone climbing mountains and setting up tents.

Now she seemed to know everything and no longer needed him.

A strange and unfamiliar feeling surged in Shen Yixiao's chest, subtly tugging at his heart, spreading like a vine to his limbs and bones, gently wrapping around him.

After fixing it, Cen Wan tried it out. When she stood up, she saw Shen Yixiao and Gu Zhiyuan behind her. She was stunned.

Gu Zhiyuan said curiously: "Miss Cen, you are so amazing! Can you teach me too?"

Before Cen Wan could speak, Jiang Yuan beside her refused for her: "If Miss Gu wants to learn, Mr. Shen should be happy to teach you. Wanwan and I have other plans, so it's not convenient."

Their teams reached the top of the mountain almost at the same time, and no one mentioned the previous competition.

Gu Zhiyuan turned to look at Shen Yixiao: "Can you?"

Shen Yixiao glanced at Cen Wan, turned and walked aside, and started setting up the tent without saying a word.

Gu Zhiyuan looked at Cen Wan and tilted her head: "Miss Cen doesn't seem to want to interact with me. Is there something I didn't do well?"

Cen Wan: "Miss Gu, you're overthinking it. We're strangers to begin with, so how can there be any talk of liking or not?"

Gu Zhiyuan: "Is it because of Shen Yixiao?"

Cen Wan looked directly into her eyes, his gaze clear and bright, and his tone calm, "I don't dislike you, but I don't have any extra energy to spare for you. After we get down the mountain, we may never cross paths again. Miss Gu, there's no need to worry about me."

“I have something else to do, Miss Gu should go and set up the tent with Mr. Shen.”

After saying that, Cen Wan pulled Jiang Yuan away.

Gu Zhiyuan frowned and walked over to Shen Yixiao. He paused, looking at Cen Wan's departing figure, and said coldly, "What did you say?"

Gu Zhiyuan thought for a long time and came to a conclusion.

She raised her eyes and carefully considered her words: "Um...is there a possibility that Miss Cen really doesn't like you?"

Shen Yixiao's face darkened.

Gu Zhiyuan: "I've become a complete green tea bitch, but I didn't feel any hostility from Miss Cen. She was so calm the whole time."

"She really doesn't seem to care."

She felt like she was running out of ideas.

Shen Yixiao tightened his fingers and gripped the pole in his hand: "If you can't speak, then shut up!"

Gu Zhiyuan: “…”

Scold her?

Forget it, he looks quite pitiful, so I won’t bother with him.

Cen Wan had been deliberately keeping a distance from Shen Yixiao and stayed with Jiang Yuan the whole time.

Everyone was having a barbecue in the evening, and Cen Wan and Jiang Yuan were sitting in the corner chatting.

"If you go back tomorrow, do you have to wait until the Chinese New Year to get a day off?"

Jiang Yuan flipped the grilled wings intermittently in his hands. "The crew's next holiday will be around New Year's Eve. This time, we are lucky to have the help of Ji Yuanchen and Qin Yanxiu. Otherwise, I would probably only be able to spare half a day."

"Are you...going back home for the New Year this year?" she asked carefully.

Cen Wan lowered her eyes. "I still have to go back on New Year's Eve. Fang Yaqing is pregnant, and Cen Baiqing wants a reunion and good luck. He lost his last child, so he values ​​this one even more. If anything else happens, I'm afraid he'll be even more upset with Grandma."

Jiang Yuan: "Anyway, you never eat well every year when you go back. Just show up and come out. I'll take you out for a late-night snack."

Cen Wan smiled and said, "Okay."

"What are you roasting that smells so good?" As soon as the two finished talking, Ji Yuanchen came over after smelling the aroma.

Jiang Yuan placed the chicken wings and large black tiger prawns in his hand on a plate and handed it to Cen Wan, then began grilling the next batch. "Why didn't you come to us with your brother Yi?"

"That Miss Gu has been with him..." Ji Yuanchen stopped mid-sentence, realizing something was wrong, "I think your roast smells good."

Jiang Yuan didn't even need to look up, Shen Yixiao and Gu Zhiyuan were right in front of them, being so affectionate with each other that I had no idea what they were doing.

She only cared about Cen Wan's mood and ignored everything else. She even felt a little resentful towards Ji Yuanchen: "I think they roasted it more fragrantly."

Ji Yuanchen: "Sister Yuan, why are you so fierce? You didn't even prepare a gift for me on my birthday..."

Cen Wan, who also didn't prepare any gifts, said: "..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji. I'll give it to you later." Cen Wan said apologetically.

Ji Yuanchen waved his hands quickly: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to taste your cooking skills."

Jiang Yuan took out an empty plate and stuffed it into his hand: "Go get whatever you want to eat, I'll grill it for you. Don't hang around here all the time."

Ji Yuanchen: "Okay, I'll go then."

He was really bored. Gu Zhiyuan kept following Shen Yixiao, so he didn't dare to approach. Qin Yanxiu always spoke with hidden meanings and looked profound. He couldn't understand anything, so he had to come to Jiang Yuan to play.

In front, Gu Zhiyuan sat on a stool, looking at the smoke and fire beside him, and touched his empty stomach: "I'm hungry."

Shen Yixiao: "Eat when you're hungry."

Gu Zhiyuan: "I don't like any of the things you bake."

Shen Yixiao: "These are for feeding the dogs."

Gu Zhiyuan: “…”

She looked around and wanted to go to Cen Wan, but then she remembered that the current situation didn't seem very suitable, so she had to go to the side to find some fruits and snacks to fill her stomach.

She sighed as she ate. There was no progress on Shen Yixiao's side, so who could help her?

As she was eating, she suddenly smelled a fragrance in the air. She sniffed and said, "It smells so good."

Looking in the direction of the wind, it was still Cen Wan and Jiang Yuan's side.

They will be sisters-in-law in the future, so it's normal to build a good relationship in advance.

After convincing herself for a second, she immediately stood up and walked over.

Now Cen Wan was grilling meat, and Ji Yuanchen was sitting beside her eating with relish. Jiang Yuan peeled a shrimp and fed it to Cen Wan, then started peeling some for himself.

Suddenly a shadow loomed over the heads of several people.

Jiang Yuan looked up: "Why are you here again?"

Gu Zhiyuan swallowed and smiled: "You grilled it so delicious, can I have two skewers?"

Jiang Yuan said coldly: "If you want to eat it, ask Mr. Shen to bake it for you."

"He doesn't..." Gu Zhiyuan was about to say something bad about him, but then realized that his character couldn't be ruined. He coughed twice and said, "I'm embarrassed to trouble him."

"Then you have the nerve to trouble us?"

Gu Zhiyuan smiled sweetly: "Beautiful sister bakes more delicious food!"

Jiang Yuan: Shit! She can’t get angry anymore.

Cen Wan said nothing, pointing to the plate beside her: "All the freshly baked ones are in there."

Gu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up as he reached out to take the food without hesitation. He took a bite of the meat and mumbled, "You don't know, you can't eat such authentic barbecue abroad..."

Ji Yuancen: "Uncle Gu, can you still starve me?"

Gu Zhiyuan: "You don't understand, he controls me very strictly."

"Yan? Really?"

Jiang Yuan listened to their conversation and asked in confusion, "Aren't you cousins? Why do you feel unfamiliar with each other?"

Ji Yuanchen: "A distant relative."

Gu Zhiyuan: "This relationship probably dates back several generations, but I can't remember clearly."

Jiang Yuan: “…”

Gu Zhiyuan is lively and outgoing, and is also very outgoing. After eating a few skewers, she stayed here and refused to leave, calling everyone "Sister Yuan" and "Sister Wan" sweetly.

Jiang Yuan and Cen Wan couldn't stand it at all.

Shen Yixiao, who was left aside, was grilling skewers while watching Gu Zhiyuan and Cen Wan chatting and laughing, and the skewers in his hands were almost broken.
