"Okay, then I won't go."

Chen Yu chuckled to herself, then quickly composed herself before turning around and following Shen Yan toward home.

Shen Yan held Chen Yu's hand tightly without letting go. Chen Yu pretended to take a long time to react, then she flicked her sleeve slightly and asked, "How long are you going to keep catching me?"

"Feel sorry!"

Shen Yan immediately let go of Chen Yu's hand, carefully observing Chen Yu's expression.

Throughout the journey, Shen Yan was reviewing his thoughts. He suddenly felt the urge to speak. Only now did he realize that Chen Yu was important to him, and that his feelings for Chen Yu were genuine. It wasn't the affection of his family, but a true romantic love between a man and a woman.

Chen Yu stopped in front of an ice cream shop. "Shen Yan, buy me one."

Shen Yan nodded and bought Chen Yu's favorite chocolate flavor.

The two remained silent for a while on the way, but they slowed down their pace in a tacit understanding.

Shen Yan suddenly grabbed Chen Yu's hand.

"what?"

Chen Yu turned to look at Shen Yan, who then pulled her body to face him and kissed her without giving her a chance to hesitate.

Both of their minds went blank at the same time, and Chen Yu looked into Chen Yan's eyes in disbelief.

It took nearly a minute before Shen Yan released Chen Yu.

He looked intently at Chen Yu's face and said, "I like you, and I don't want to hide it anymore."

Chen Yu's heart was pounding. Her first reaction was disbelief, followed by shyness.

She kept her head down, not daring to look at Shen Yan. In her heart, she always felt that she should be the one to forcefully kiss Shen Yan, but it turned out that the roles were reversed.

The two walked hand in hand back to their front door.

Chen Yu stood there, asking, "What is our relationship now?"

"Boyfriend/girlfriend relationship..."

"No, you haven't seriously confessed your feelings to me yet."

"Then...I like it."

Before Chen Yan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Kang's voice, "What are you two doing standing down here so late instead of going upstairs? Are you feeding the mosquitoes?"

"Dad...why are you back at this hour?"

Chen Yu and Shen Yan felt a sense of shame at being caught in the act, and Shen Yan unconsciously touched his nose.

"I'm working overtime. What are you two doing?"

Chen Kang looked at the two with a suspicious gaze. He had seen them holding hands from a distance, but he wasn't sure because of the distance.

"Nothing, I just got downstairs!"

Chen Yu fled home as if his life depended on it, leaving Shen Yan and Chen Kang behind.

She ran straight to her room, not even hearing Li Ziyun calling her.

"What's wrong with this child? Why is he walking so fast?"

Li Ziyun looked at her with suspicion, then at the open door, "Why aren't you closing the door!"

She stood up to close the door, and saw Chen Kang and Shen Yan come in as well.

"What a coincidence!"

"Yes, I saw them downstairs."

Only Chen Kang answered her, and Shen Yan hurriedly ran upstairs.

At home, the two can only communicate via mobile phone.

Chen Yu didn't go out until she went to bed; she sat on the bed looking at her phone.

She stared at her phone without moving, muttering to herself, "Looking for me, Shen Yan."

Ding-dong, the crisp sound of a cell phone ringing out.

She excitedly opened her phone; it was a message from Shen Yan.

[Chen Yan: I want to tell you, I like you, I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?]

[Fish: Is that how you confess your feelings?!]

[Shen Yan: ...Then how should I say it?]

Chen Yu laughed out loud when she saw the message; she just wanted to tease Shen Yan.

[fish: Just kidding, boyfriend~]

Seeing the solemnity of this message, I unusually found it difficult to control my emotions. I got out of bed and paced back and forth in the empty space, trying to calm my agitated feelings.

Chen Yu jumped around excitedly on the bed.

She finally succeeded in winning back her husband!

The two began secretly dating. Sometimes, when they were being intimate at home, Chen Kang and Li Ziyun would inexplicably appear as if they had GPS installed.

This quickly thwarted their desire to kiss.

Each time, the two would awkwardly separate, and sometimes Chen Yu would even yell and curse at Shen Yan.

Li Ziyun would step in to mediate and stop the two from arguing so fiercely.

Chen Yu pretended to be very angry and left, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he returned to his room. He was truly feeling guilty.

[fish: Staying at home is so tough.]

[Chen Yan: There's only one week left before I have to go to school, just bear with it.]

[fish: Hmm, have you bought the tickets yet?]

[Chen Yan: I bought them a long time ago, all seats together.]

Chen Yu happily put the phone to her mouth, still somewhat incredulous. Had she really won over Shen Yan?

She shared the good news with Huang Xiaoni and Li Ke'er.

Both of them sent their blessings to Chen Yu in the group chat.

[Nini: So my friends are just cannon fodder!]

[Kerr: Hahaha, that really is a useful cannon fodder.]

[fish: Oh dear, you can't say that. I saw on his WeChat Moments that he already has a girlfriend.]

[Nini: Really? I didn't see it.]

Huang Xiaoni left the group chat and clicked into Song Yi's Moments. Sure enough, just as Chen Yu had said, he had indeed posted an official announcement on Moments.

She left Song Yi's circle of friends, but unconsciously clicked into Jiang Yang's circle of friends.

He hasn't sent many messages these past few days, and Huang Xiaoni is worried about him every day. She's not very willing to chat with Jiang Yang.

But I'm also afraid he might suddenly find a girlfriend.

He could only try to find out what was going on by asking Wang Yue every day.

Wang Yue became an underground spy, visiting Jiang Yang's house every day, but she would just watch him play on his phone without saying a word.

She would also check his phone from time to time.

I will only tell Huang Xiaoni after confirming that there is no problem, so that she can rest assured.

Huang Xiaoni promised Wang Yue that she would buy her delicious food and drinks as soon as she arrived there, and also planned to give her a handbag.

After all, Wang Yue had helped her a lot.

It's like a human body surveillance system.

She also thought it was a very interesting thing and was very willing to help Huang Xiaoni.

The new semester begins.

Shen Yan got up early and went to Chen Yu's room. After looking at her sleeping face, he started packing her luggage. This time he brought a lot of things because winter was approaching.

Li Ziyun pushed open the door and came in. He first told Chen Yu that he was lazy, and then helped Shen Yan tidy up.

I brought two large suitcases of clothes for Chen Yu, as well as some snacks.

After thinking it over, Shen Yan took one box. If he took two more, Chen Yu would have to carry two boxes himself.

He doesn't need to wear so many clothes; he's resistant to the cold.

"Shen Yan, didn't you bring too little?"

"No, Aunt Yun, I can handle this bit of cold air."

“This time is different, bring a few more items.”

In the end, it was Li Ziyun who managed to stuff a few more thick clothes into his suitcase.

Shen Yan looked at Li Ziyun's busy figure with admiration. Adults are indeed better at packing things.

Li Ziyun quickly stuffed the clothes inside and successfully closed the suitcase.
