Zhou Yushen drew back the curtains of the lounge.

"There's usually no one here. You can come here to wait for me from now on."

"No need to go to the lab."

He recalled Xu Yan's worthless smile, and his aura became inexplicably gloomy.

"Okay, I understand."

Shen Zhiyi obediently replied.

She thought he probably didn't want others to misunderstand their relationship.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it in front of his friends.

He said she was his sister.

In his heart, he probably doesn't yet see her as a woman.

She watched as Zhou Yushen set out the food.

Each of them had a meal, a large box of vegetables neatly arranged, and a bowl of soup.

Zhou Yushen noticed that she was staring at the dishes and hadn't touched her chopsticks for a long time.

He paused, then said:

"Isn't it too bland?"

He has a sensitive stomach, so Aunt Zhao always cooks for him dishes that are slightly milder than normal, with less seasoning.

He was worried that she wouldn't be used to the food.

Shen Zhiyi shook her head, looked up at him, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"It's because Aunt Zhao did a wonderful job."

"I almost don't want to eat it."

No wonder she's the Zhou family's cook for so many years.

Even a simple boxed lunch can be made so exquisite and abundant, making it look incredibly appetizing.

Zhou Yushen's expression softened.

The worry I had just felt vanished instantly.

"Eat."

"She'll only be happy if you finish it all."

"Hmm." Shen Zhiyi lowered her head and picked up two pieces of fish with her chopsticks, then tasted all the other dishes one by one, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

The chewing speed is also getting faster and faster.

In the end, he completely forgot that Zhou Yushen was still around and didn't say a single word to him.

Just focus on eating.

Zhou Yushen stared at her serious face, completely captivated, and didn't touch his chopsticks for a long time.

He watched her chew in small bites.

A bite of meat, a bite of rice, a bite of vegetables, and a sip of soup; her small lips parted slightly and then closed again.

When they eat something delicious, their grape-like eyes will suddenly pause and then light up.

Then he picked up his chopsticks again and took a couple more bites.

As he looked at it, he felt a sense of happiness for some reason.

My heart suddenly felt warm.

He seemed to hear a very faint thud deep within his long-dormant soul.

Then slowly.

A small flower peeked out from the parched ground, swaying in the wind and looking around.

He thought that it was a sign of understanding.

Shen Zhiyi.

He noticed a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.

He inexplicably reached out, wanting to help her brush it away.

The moment his warm fingertips touched the skin around her lips, the cool, soft touch sent a jolt through him like an electric current.

Both he and Shen Zhiyi were stunned.

She looked up in bewilderment.

She met his equally bewildered gaze.

Time, which had been flowing slowly, suddenly stood still at that moment. Both of them froze, remaining motionless for a long time.

The door to the lounge was suddenly flung open with a bang.

Xu Yan burst in with his loud, boisterous voice.

"Hey! Zhou Yushen! Look, isn't this what my sister dropped...?"

He looked at the two people with an odd atmosphere.

And Zhou Yushen's hand, which was still resting on Shen Zhiyi's face.

With a thud.

He swallowed the rest of his words.

"you……"

He looked at Zhou Yushen, then at Shen Zhiyi.

It felt like the air between the two of them was almost forming a magpie bridge!

Even someone with only an elementary school education could see there was something wrong between them!

What's more, about him?

Shen Zhiyi was startled by his sudden intrusion, and then a strange sense of panic arose from her feeling guilty. She quickly turned around, but accidentally knocked over her lunchbox.

Clang—

The unfinished food was scattered all over the floor.

The loud noise woke all three of them at the same time.

Xu Yan looked up and met Zhou Yushen's icy gaze, as if he were the one who had caused the trouble. Xu Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

The foot that had just stepped into the house was instantly pulled back.

"You continue, continue..."

He slammed the door shut.

Leaning against the door, he clutched his chest, still shaken.

Luckily I ran fast...

After calming down, he looked at the keychain in his hand and finally couldn't help but spit out a curse.

Zhou Yushen.

You bastard!

What sister?

So she's not my biological sister.

It's my beloved sister!

He put away the keychain and stormed out of the lab building.

...

Shen Zhiyi looked at the mess on the ground and subconsciously got up.

"I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

Zhou Yushen reached out as if nothing had happened and spread the rice on his fingertip for Shen Zhiyi to see.

"Xu Yan seems to have misunderstood something."

"Probably not." Shen Zhiyi slowly sat back down in her chair. "Didn't Brother Yu Shen just tell him that I'm your sister?"

"It's perfectly normal for an older brother to wipe his younger sister's mouth."

"Is that so?" Zhou Yushen lowered his eyes.

Brother, sister.

So that's what she thought too.

He took out a tissue and slowly wiped the finger clean.

He then tossed the tissue aside and said casually, "It's good that there was no misunderstanding."

His tone was indescribably cold.

He got up and walked a short distance away, picked up a broom, swept the vegetables on the ground into the trash can, wrung out a rag, knelt on the ground, and wiped the grime clean little by little.

Shen Zhiyi watched him busy.

Their gazes fell upon him from above.

She saw his broad back muscles, the muscles in his arms, and the bends in his thighs and knees, watching those areas taut with his movements, revealing a strong sense of power and vigorous lines.
