However, his gaze kept sweeping back and forth over the black Bentley in front of the office building.

That must be my cousin Chu's car, right?

Where is he?

Who exactly is my cousin's wife?

Curious but I won't say anything, I'll just prick up my ears.jpg

While the boys were running off one after another, Nan Yun Shen had just pushed Tong Su's wheelchair to the book collection area.

“You’re in the science stream in the first semester of your second year of high school, so you’ll have to catch up on the classes you’ve missed. Take your textbooks home first, and I’ll help you catch up on the classes when you get home tonight.”

The young man's expression was indifferent, and his words were also cold and detached. His stern face always carried a hint of aloofness that kept people at a distance, which only accentuated his impeccable, cold, and elegant temperament.

Tong Su couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "Brother, you can just have your textbooks delivered to our home. Why do you need to push me around to get them?"

The young man raised an eyebrow: "Because I want to see if you have any tendency to date early at school."

The girl tilted her head, surprised and amused: "How could I possibly date? Nobody likes me anyway."

"Nobody likes it?" the young man asked rhetorically.

His face has always had a cold and hard look, with long, slanted eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and when his thin lips are slightly pursed, his eyes become even more deep and dark, gleaming with a deadly light, as if they could swallow people into an abyss of no return.

Even his voice was unhurried, slightly husky and magnetic, as he spoke softly:

I like you.

"Huh?!" The girl's eyes widened instantly as she stared at him in disbelief. "What?" Then she realized what he meant, chuckled, shook her head, and giggled, "Brother and sister don't count! Don't worry, brother, I'm still a happy single dog."

She didn't think of it that way at all.

A dangerous glint flashed in Nan Yun Shen's eyes, but the corners of his lips curved slightly: "You should study hard first."

"Oh, definitely."

It's good that he doesn't understand; it makes it easier for him to slowly boil the frog in water.

Nan Yun Shen didn't know when he had started to care about her. When she was initially unruly, willful, domineering, and vicious, although he didn't hate her, he didn't want to pay much attention to her.

Until she was in a car accident, until she was hospitalized, until she lost her memory, she appeared before him like a blank sheet of paper, completely innocent...

The moment the hospital room door opened, the girl's clear and pure smile was like a lotus blooming in the sunlight, unpretentious and graceful.

From then on, I took it to heart.

Once you take something to heart, you can't help but get closer, and then greed arises in your heart, and you want to take it away.

For him, plundering was an instinct ingrained in his very being.

He is a predator lurking in the darkness, patiently weaving a web to capture prey living in the sunlight, a web that is all-encompassing and omnipresent.

Little by little, I lured her in.

After she got used to it, she realized she was already in a hunting net, and by then it was too late to escape...

She had no choice.

"If someone confesses their feelings to you, you must reject them."

The girl clearly didn't care, casually saying, "What if they keep pestering me?"

He gave a soft hum.

"Just tell them you have a boyfriend."

She was taken aback: "I clearly didn't, no one will believe me."

Nan Yun Shen took the phone she was playing with from her pocket, turned on the camera, took a side profile selfie, and set it as his screensaver.

"Just say this is your boyfriend."

The screen showed only half of the profile picture; the young man had exquisite and handsome features, and his cold and sharp temperament made everything around him pale in comparison.

The girl was both amused and exasperated: "You're my brother."

The young man's eyes swept over her, his voice carrying a deeper meaning: "Anyway, nobody knows. If you say that, who can verify it?"

Nan Yun Shen is a man of deep cunning and profound understanding of the principle of taking advantage of proximity. He has also honed his skill of seizing opportunities to gain recognition to an unparalleled level.

in short--

Shameless.
