Shen Yan didn't fully wake up until late at night. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Kang and Li Ziyun. He wondered if he was still half asleep, seeing his aunt and uncle who were traveling in another place. In the end, the two of them helped him out of bed before he realized that his aunt and uncle had really come. After confirming with the doctor that everything was alright, the two of them took Shen Yan back to Chen Le's house.

When Chen Le woke up, he saw Shen Yan sitting on the sofa, eating grapes that Li Ziyun had bought on the way. Chen Yu was also sitting next to him, but the two of them didn't talk much and were quietly watching the TV program. After this incident, Chen Yu became even more dependent on Shen Yan.

"When did you all get back?" Chen Le asked, bewildered, looking at the large family.

"I came back while you were sleeping. There was food on the table; just heat it up and eat it yourself."

Chen Kang's answer was very calm, and Chen Le didn't take it to heart. The two brothers had always gotten along in this calm way, and they didn't have any heartfelt words to say. Chen Le walked up to Shen Yan and touched his forehead to make sure that his fever had subsided before going to eat.

"Yu Yu, you must never run around like that again, okay? If it weren't for Shen Yan, you would have died in the forest!"

"Okay, Mom, I won't do it again next time."

Although Li Ziyun felt sorry for her precious daughter, she still had to teach her some things, and she had to take matters into consideration, especially matters of life and death. Chen Kang chimed in with a few words of agreement, which were probably telling Chen Yu not to be so willful anymore. Chen Yu knew that she had made a big mistake this time, so she didn't say anything in rebuttal.

She glanced at Shen Yan out of the corner of her eye. His face was expressionless, as if this matter was insignificant to him, just an ordinary thing. After everyone watched TV downstairs for a while, Chen Kang urged the two children to go upstairs to rest. Chen Yu obediently followed behind Shen Yan. When they got upstairs and he was about to go in, Chen Yu grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Shen Yan... thank you..." Chen Yu said softly.

"Um?"

Shen Yan didn't hear clearly. The height difference between the two was quite large. Although Shen Yan was a high school student, he was almost 178 cm tall, while Chen Yu was only a shorty of about 150 cm. Shen Yan lowered his head and moved closer to Chen Yu. This action made Chen Yu blush as red as a monkey's bottom. "I said... I said thank you!"

Shen Yan heard him clearly now, and he quickly distanced himself from Chen Yu. "It's okay, just be careful next time."

Chen Yu nodded vigorously, followed by a long silence. Chen Yan stared intently at Chen Yu. The two had been standing at the door for almost ten minutes. "You, is there anything else?" He looked down at Chen Yu's hand that was gripping his clothes.

Only then did Chen Yu realize what was happening. She immediately let go of Chen Yan's clothes and ran back to her room. She leaned against the door, listening to her heartbeat. Why was it beating so fast? She was already so old, and it was only now that spring had arrived? There was no reason for it.

"Calm down, calm down."

Chen Yu patted her chest, frantically trying to calm herself down. Before long, she calmed down and sat back down on the bed. Suddenly, the image of Shen Yan approaching her flashed through her mind again, as did the image of her lying in Shen Yan's arms in the tree hole. These images lingered in her mind for a long time.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Wang Yue.

[Fish: Yueyue, what are you doing?]

Chen Yu held her phone and waited for a long time, but did not receive a reply from Wang Yue. She wondered what Wang Yue had gone off to do. She had originally wanted to tell Wang Yue about what happened yesterday.

Shen Yan sat in the chair, dazed. He felt his head was still a little dizzy, and he didn't know if it was because he had been unconscious for too long. Even reading the questions was a bit difficult. Questions that were usually easy to solve took him a long time to read. He leaned back in the chair, tired, and closed his eyes. Then he suddenly remembered Chen Yu tugging at his clothes at the door and saying thank you.

At first, he thought that Chen Yu's personality had changed and that she might not bully him anymore. But then he suddenly remembered that when he was 12 years old, Chen Yu had tricked him in the same way.

When I was 12 years old.

Chen Yu suddenly grabbed Shen Yan and said, "Let's be good friends from now on. I won't bully you anymore."

Shen Yan stared blankly into Chen Yu's eyes. He never expected that Chen Yu would say such a thing one day, but he was still very happy. He treated Chen Yu like a younger sister. At this time, he was still hoping to get along peacefully with Chen Yu, but he did not expect that Chen Yu would give him a solid lesson.

Since the two made a pinky promise to reconcile, Chen Yu would take the initiative to talk to Shen Yan every day, walk home with him after school, and even share some of the food she bought with him. Shen Yan naively thought that life would continue like this in the future.

Before school ended, Chen Yu ran to Chen Yan's desk and said, "Chen Yan, can you pick me up at the back door after school?"

"Okay, I understand." Shen Yan smiled at Chen Yu, and after they made their agreement, Chen Yu skipped class.

Chen Yu, Wang Yue, and Jiang Yang hid in the alley behind the back gate, waiting for Shen Yan to come over after school. They were carrying a large bag of garbage, and as soon as Shen Yan passed by, they dumped it all on him, instantly turning his once clean school uniform into something incredibly smelly.

Chen Yu ran out from the side, "Hahahaha, you idiot Shen Yan, do you really think I'll forgive you? You can dream about it forever!"

Listening to Chen Yu's words and Wang Yue and Jiang Yang's mockery, Shen Yan secretly vowed that he would never believe Chen Yu again. From then on, Chen Yu became even bolder, and would even deliberately throw garbage into Shen Yan's bowl while eating.

Chen Kang and Li Ziyun tried to stop her many times. Once, Chen Kang hit Chen Yu, which made her restrain herself a bit. However, this made Chen Yu hate Shen Yan even more. She always felt that everything was because of him, and that's why she was scolded and beaten.
