Looking at Wang Le's reply, Chen Yu knew perfectly well that he wouldn't tell her. She turned off her phone and started thinking. Should she ask her mother? Maybe she would know. Without hesitation, Chen Yu made a call, only to find that the other person's phone already had caller ID enabled.

She started to feel a chill run down her spine, and finally decided to take a gamble; if the size didn't match, she could just change it.

"Hello, I need size 43 for this pair."

"Uh, okay!"

The shop assistant was surprised that this young girl would actually buy something. He thought Chen Yu was just looking around or taking pictures. These shoes weren't cheap. He took the shoes, put them in a box, packed them up, and handed them to Chen Yu. "Little sister, the total is 2300. How do you wish to pay?"

Chen Yu didn't say anything, but instead took out a card and handed it to the shop assistant.

After paying, she carried her things out of the mall, only to find that there were hardly any people outside. She checked her phone and realized it was already 10:09 PM. The mall behind her was turning off its lights. Chen Yu carried her things back home. The wind grew stronger as the night went on, and she shivered from the wind. When she was almost home, she ran into Chen Yan, who was coming out from the other side. The two of them were stunned when they saw each other.

Shen Yan looked at Chen Yu, who was carrying a large pile of things, and hesitated whether to go forward to help. But Chen Yu turned around and walked quickly towards home. Shen Yan, who was still standing there, smiled to himself. How could this young lady let him touch her things?

Actually, Chen Yu was freezing cold, and the things in her hands were heavy. If she were to look Shen Yan in the eye, her hand would break.

Back home, Chen Yu put her things down by the door, kicked off her shoes, and went upstairs. She took a coat from the closet and put it on. When she came downstairs, she saw Shen Yan standing at the door carrying something. The scene was extremely awkward. Shen Yan didn't know whether he should put the thing down. "I...I just wanted to help you put it in the living room. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch your things."

Chen Yu then remembered that she used to be so domineering that she wouldn't allow Shen Yan to touch anything in the house.

"It's okay, just put it in the living room for me."

Shen Yan paused in his hand as he was carrying the things, but still obediently put them all in the living room. Chen Yu sat on the sofa unpacking the bags, and Shen Yan numbly walked towards the stairs. He was extremely tired today, as the coffee shop was unusually busy that evening.

"Wait a moment, Shen Yan, come here for a second."

He paused on the stairs, turned back to look at Chen Yu, and asked, "Is something the matter?"

"You'll find out when you come over here."

Faced with Chen Yu's words, Shen Yan felt very resistant, but he still came to Chen Yu's side. He stood there without moving, watching Chen Yu frantically unpack the packaging bag in front of him and take out a shoebox. "Try it on and see if it fits?"

Shen Yan frowned slightly. What was she up to now? A bad memory flooded his mind. The last time Chen Yu made him try on shoes like this, Shen Yan thought Chen Yu had changed her mind and was willing to coexist peacefully with him. In the end, she squeezed super glue into the shoes. Shen Yan felt something was wrong as soon as he put them on, but by the time he tried to take them off, it was too late...

This time, not knowing what she wanted, Shen Yan could only silently change into those expensive sneakers. To his surprise, there was nothing in the shoes, and they were very comfortable to wear. He put on the other shoe as well and walked back and forth on the ground. Sure enough, expensive shoes are comfortable to wear.

"How is it? Does it fit?"

Chen Yu's face remained expressionless, but she was secretly overjoyed when she saw him stand up and test the feel of his feet.

"Appropriate".

Shen Yan took off the shoes and carefully put them back in the box, thinking that Chen Yu was probably going to give them to Jiang Yang.

"That's good, you can wear it!"

After Chen Yu finished speaking, she grabbed her things and ran upstairs. Shen Yan didn't even have time to refuse. He stared blankly at the box of shoes on the ground. He wouldn't take it. After thinking it over, he decided to put the shoes and box together in the shoe cabinet.

Upstairs, Chen Yu was happily taking a shower. As she rinsed the bubbles from her hair, the light above her head suddenly went out. She stood there stunned, unable to move. Shen Yan came to the bathroom with a flashlight and knocked on the door. The knock scared Chen Yu half to death. "Is that you... Shen... Shen Yan?" Chen Yu stammered.

"It's me. Are you alright?" Shen Yan frowned as he looked at the bathroom door. Why did the power suddenly go out?

"It's...it's alright."

Using the light that Shen Yan had set up at the door, Chen Yu quickly dried herself off and changed into her pajamas. Shen Yan waited patiently outside until Chen Yu came out before going downstairs to check on her. Shen Yan couldn't figure it out after a long time, and just as he was getting worried, Chen's father sent him a message.

[Uncle Chen: Xiao Yan, are you and Yu Yu home? The residents' group says the whole community is without power, and it'll probably take two days to get it back up.]

[Chen Yan: Understood, Uncle Chen.]

After replying to the message, Shen Yan walked out with a flashlight. He immediately saw Chen Yu sitting at the bottom of the stairs, hugging her knees and burying her face in her arms, looking just like a kitten sleeping soundly. For some reason, he found her a little cute. Shen Yan was stunned. How could he have such thoughts about Chen Yu? He should hate her.

"Chen Yan? Have you fixed it?"

A weak voice reached Chen Yan's ears, and he snapped out of his daze. "No, it's just a power outage. Uncle said it will be back on in two days."

Chen Yu nodded knowingly. She stood up to go back to her room, but she lost her footing and was about to fall flat on her face when her hand was suddenly grabbed. It was Chen Yan who had pulled her arm. "I'm looking after you. Slow down." His cool voice reached her ears, and Chen Yu felt so embarrassed that she could dig out a villa for herself.
