Shen Jiayu told Su Ping to go to her room to rest first, and then followed Shen Qing to the study on the other side.
Su Ping opened the door in front of her. It was a bit dark inside because all the curtains had been drawn.
When the lights were turned on, the entire room was tinged with gray, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
The room was simply furnished, with only a bed, a computer on the table, and a floor-standing bookshelf filled with books suitable for all ages.
Have Shen Jiayu seen all of these?
Su Ping was a bit overwhelmed, unable to believe how he had spent his childhood.
I took off my shoes and walked inside. The carpet on the floor was very soft and comfortable to walk on.
A picture frame on the bedside table fell over, and Su Ping went over to right it.
Just as I touched the picture frame, I heard a click behind me—the door had opened.
It was Shen Jiayu, who had just returned from Shen Qing's place. I don't know what Shen Qing said to him, but his expression wasn't very good at the moment.
Upon seeing what Su Ping was holding, his eyes immediately turned cold.
"Who gave you permission to touch that?"
It had been a long time since Su Ping had heard Shen Jiayu speak to her in such a tone. She blinked, her intuition telling her that there was something special about this photo frame.
So, in front of Shen Jiayu, she turned the photo frame over.
In the photo, a young Shen Jiayu smiles shyly at the camera, with a short-haired girl in a black dress standing next to him.
It was Gu Lan.
"This is... Sister Yifei?"
Su Ping stared at the photo incredulously for a long time, then shook her head and denied it, saying, "Impossible, it's not Sister Yifei, but how come she looks so much like Sister Yifei..."
[Host, excellent acting.]
Shen Jiayu strode over to snatch it, but Su Ping hid the photo frame behind her back.
"Ah Yu, who is she? Why does she look so much like Sister Yifei?"
"Or did you approach Sister Yifei in the first place because Sister Yifei looks like her?"
"Give it to me, stop messing around, okay?"
Shen Jiayu refused to answer her question, leaned closer to her, and stretched out his long arm to grasp the photo frame in his hand.
Su Ping stood there, unable to believe her eyes, and asked, "Or is she Gu Lan?"
"Do you really like her?"
These words instantly brought the atmosphere to a standstill. Shen Jiayu narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
"Who told you that?"
Su Ping seemed to have been greatly shocked, and her eyes were full of disappointment as she looked at him.
"Tell me, who told you these things!"
Shen Jiayu, however, had no intention of letting her go. He gripped her shoulders tightly, staring intently into her eyes as if he wanted to devour her whole.
He spoke slowly and deliberately: "Is it Mo Ruinan?"
Su Ping closed his eyes. "Sorry, brother, I have no choice but to drag you down with me."
Fortunately, Mo Ruinan had pulled that stunt before, so he wasn't wrongly accused.
When she opened her eyes again, a hint of panic flashed across them.
Seeing this, Shen Jiayu became even more convinced of his own thoughts.
It seems that Mo Ruinan has overstepped his bounds without his knowledge.
Su Ping took two steps back and looked at him, then asked, "Ayu, did you really treat Sister Yifei as a substitute for Gu Lan before? Then what am I?"
Shen Jiayu looked at her injured face, opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute it. He had indeed had such thoughts before.
[Ding! The corruption level of the character Shen Jiayu has decreased by 1%, currently at 17%!]
"I like you so much, but you treat me like a fool. Do you think that's fair to me?!"
As Su Ping finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, which startled Shen Jiayu.
My heart was gradually filled with a strange feeling.
[Ding! The corruption value of the character Shen Jiayu has decreased by 2%, and his current total corruption value is 15%!]
[Huluwa, Shen Jiayu is really sick; he enjoys watching others cry so much.]
Just as Su Ping was about to exert her strength again, Shen Jiayu reached out and hugged her.
"Pingping, all of that is in the past. I was indeed... but I promise you, the person I like now is you."
Listening to his own frantic heartbeat, Shen Jiayu finally uttered those words.
After saying it, he felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, and all he could see was the woman in front of him.
[Ding! The corruption value of the character Shen Jiayu has decreased by 5%, currently at a total corruption value of 10%!]
Decreased that quickly?
Su Ping was dumbfounded. It seemed that the stimulation came at just the right time, and it would be tough on that treacherous Mo Ruinan.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Jiayu let go of her, looked down at her, and said, "Pingping, let's forget the past and get to know each other again, okay?"
Seeing his expectant eyes, Su Ping shook her head.
"not good."
Upon hearing those two words, Shen Jiayu felt as if the blood in his body had frozen.
What does Pingping mean by that?
Is she going to give up on herself?
Su Ping composed herself and looked earnestly into Shen Jiayu's eyes: "Ayu, I think I need to calm down and re-evaluate my feelings for you."
These words made Shen Jiayu feel inexplicably uneasy. He couldn't imagine what he would become if Pingping really left him.
He'll probably go crazy, yes, he will.
"No, I won't allow it."
Shen Jiayu subconsciously took a step forward, but saw resistance in Su Ping's eyes. His heart suddenly felt like it was being gripped by a hand, a pain that made it hard to breathe.
Su Ping looked at him and said, "Ayu, let me calm down. Don't make me hate you."
These words successfully stopped Shen Jiayu in his tracks. He looked at Su Ping with some hurt, only to see her walk around him, turn around, and open the door.
"Ayu, I'm going out for a walk. I want to be alone for a while."
Does she really not want to see herself?
Shen Jiayu stared blankly at the closed door, lost in thought.
Even with the lights on in the room, he felt as if he were in complete darkness, and the light was slowly fading away from him.
Shen Jing, who was on the first floor listening to music with Li Xiuyun, saw that figure coming down from upstairs and began to pay attention.
The woman was all smiles just a moment ago, but now she has a sullen face. Did the two of them have a fight?
As Su Ping walked out the door, Shen Jing also got up.
"Auntie, I just remembered I have an interview scheduled for this afternoon. I'll come and listen to music with you another day!"
Hearing how motivated he was, Li Xiuyun was very happy and waved to him, "Go for it, keep it up, you can do it!"
Upon hearing the Calabash Brothers' reminder, Su Ping realized that he now had a tail following him.
Shen Jing kept a distance behind Su Ping, and seeing her walking aimlessly with her two fair legs swaying in front of him, he licked his lips.
He was still somewhat wary of Shen Jiayu at the Shen family's place, but now that he's out, who can do anything to him?
At worst, I'll just get more medicine later, and I'll wake up and not remember anything.
Once injected with that drug, he can do whatever he wants.
