Chapter 88: The Relationship

The two looked at each other, and suddenly Lin You's hand hidden under the quilt moved secretly.

Shi Jingyuan: “…”

He glanced down at her.

There was a cunning glint in Lin You's eyes, and his voice was lazy but very seductive.

She said, "What's the worst that can happen? I'll let you sleep back."

Shi Jingyuan couldn't help but blush, gritted his teeth and sneered. He glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window, then lowered his head to glance at the delicate woman.

“It’s so annoying!”

The dignified Mr. Shi finally couldn't resist the temptation and fell under the will of the woman who was deliberately doing bad things.

*

As autumn deepens, the yellow horn trees in the community garden already have many golden leaves. When the wind blows, some leaves fall down.

The cleaning lady sweeps the road with a broom every day, but there are still a lot of dirt left on the road.

The aunt was sweeping while cursing and was already in a bad mood. The pile of leaves she had just swept up was kicked away by a young man who was not paying attention to his walking. She was immediately furious.

"How could a grown man like you pick on a cleaner like me? Did I provoke you? You've been walking around here for half an hour. What do you want to do?"

Shen Yi came back to his senses after being scolded. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the cleaning lady was scolding him.

He had been standing under Lin You's building for a long time, holding a thermos bucket of chicken soup he had prepared, but he didn't have the courage to go up to find her.

After being scolded by his aunt, he took out his wallet and casually pulled out a stack of bills from it.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it."

The cleaning lady looked at the stack of bills and roughly estimated that it was her monthly salary.

However, these days, there are more and more people trying to scam others into paying for their cars. The aunt rubbed her hands on her pants but did not dare to reach out to take it.

Seeing this, Shen Yi stuffed the money directly into the aunt's hand and said, "Take it."

Only then did the aunt accept it reluctantly.

Maybe the man was soft-hearted, the cleaning lady who had been cursing before now put on a smiling face and said a few more kind words.

"Young man, you're walking around here, are you looking for someone in this building?"

Shen Yi glanced at the cleaning lady in surprise.

The cleaning lady, while counting the money, kept muttering, "If you want to go up, just go up. Why are you so scared? If you go up, who can eat you up?"

A bystander can see things more clearly. Even an aunt can figure it out, but he is hesitant.

Shen Yi responded, said thank you, and then strode upstairs.

He walked to the elevator, pressed the up button, and looked up to see that the floor the electronic number stopped on was exactly Lin You's floor. He thought randomly, could it be that Lin You came down?

There are many residents on each floor of this apartment building, and the probability that the person coming down is Lin You is very small.

So after this thought came up, Shen Yi didn't take it to heart.

After a while, the elevator door opened.

Shen Yi was about to lift his foot, then he saw the people in the elevator clearly.

Lin You's hand was affectionately placed on Shi Jingyuan's arm. Shi Jingyuan was looking at her sideways, with no concealment in his eyes of doting.

With just one glance, Shen Yi seemed to hear the sound of something shattering deep in his heart.

He could no longer control the expression on his face, and in an instant, his eyes were filled with rage.

Lin You raised his eyes and saw that the person outside the elevator door was Shen Yi, and greeted him with a smile.

"Junior, are you here to see me?"

Shen Yi wanted to respond to Lin You with a calm attitude, but the impact of the scene before him was too great and he couldn’t control his emotions.

He didn't even dare to speak, for fear that once he did, he would ask in an interrogative tone what was going on between her and Shi Jingyuan.

Lin You didn't care about his silence, and her eyes fell on the food box in his hand.

"Is this something delicious you brought for me?"

Ever since Shen Yi moved to this neighborhood, every time he made something delicious, he would bring her a portion.

So she was used to Shen Yi sending her delicious food, but Shi Jingyuan next to her suddenly glanced at Shen Yi after hearing what she said.

Shen Yi's throat rolled and he forced himself to calm down.

However, he still couldn't calm down completely, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke.

"Uh...well, it's some chicken soup. I can't finish it by myself, so I brought some over for you."

Fortunately, he had said this sentence many times, so he was able to say it completely even in such a nervous state.

Lin You was in a dilemma. She was about to go out for dinner with Shi Jingyuan, but she couldn't refuse her junior's kindness for fear of disappointing him.

She thought about it, then smiled and said, "Junior, why don't you bring some chicken soup and come eat with us."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shi Jingyuan and said, "Mr. Shi, you don't mind having one more person to accompany you for dinner, right?"

Shi Jingyuan glanced at Shen Yi with a half-smile, "Of course I don't mind. Your junior fellow student... is my junior fellow student."

He patted Lin You's hand and said, "Let's get out of the elevator first. This isn't a place to stay for long."

Lin You came to his senses and was naturally a little annoyed, then followed Shi Jingyuan out of the elevator.

After they walked a few steps, Shi Jingyuan turned around and said to Shen Yi, "By the way, I haven't asked you what you want to eat yet? Don't be polite with me. Your senior sister said you always take care of her. This meal is her way of thanking you."

Shen Yi's fingers were shaking more and more, and the expression on his face was gradually distorted.

He held the thermos and asked through gritted teeth, "Senior...you two?"

Lin You smiled awkwardly, in a shy woman's manner.

She didn't say anything, but Shi Jingyuan smiled calmly, "Junior, your senior sister is shy, so don't ask. It's just what you think, so... from now on you can treat me as you..."

A hint of coldness between men flashed in his eyes, and he gently uttered two words.

"Brother-in-law."

Treat him as your brother-in-law?

Shen Yi almost broke his teeth!

Lin You kicked his calf out of embarrassment, but did not refute his words.

Shen Yi didn't believe it. Obviously, everything was going according to his plan. Obviously, with Shi Jingyuan's identity, it was impossible for her to accept Shi Jingyuan.

There must be a problem here, there must be!

Shen Yi strode past the two of them holding the thermos bucket, without looking back, and said in an urgent tone:

"Senior, I suddenly remembered that I still have some work to do. I won't go to dinner with you. I'll come see you another day."

He walked quickly and hurriedly, as if he had really forgotten something.

Lin You's eyes followed his back, and the fake smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Shen Yi's reaction just now...

It made her think more.

However, she had no such intention towards him, so even if he thought too much, Lin You didn't want to give any extra response.

Shi Jingyuan noticed her movements out of the corner of his eye, and a flash of sarcasm crossed his face.

"Lin You," Shi Jingyuan said slowly, "Is your junior interested in you?"

Lin You didn't expect him to ask so directly.

So, Shen Yi’s feelings towards her… her feelings were right?
