Chapter 40: Handsome but Sick



You know, Chen Yu has never been interested in women. For this reason, she even suspected that this guy liked men, and was even mentally prepared to marry a man. But now it seems that this is not the case.

Xia Ningwei collected her thoughts, coughed lightly, blinked at Chen Yu, and reminded him, "Chen Yu, don't just stand there, pour Xiaoshu a drink."

Shen Yu paused, put down the cup he was playing with, sat up slightly, leaned over, picked up the freshly squeezed orange juice on the table and poured a glass for Li Shu.

Li Shu's beautiful eyes were half-closed, her porcelain-white face was delicate and beautiful, and she whispered, "Thank you."

Chen Yu hummed lightly and poured himself a glass.

As the hot dishes were served one after another, the two families began to chat while eating.

At the dinner table, it was almost always Shen Junyan and Ji Heng who were talking.

Both of them drank a lot of wine, and even Ji Jingchen was dragged along to drink a few small glasses.

As for Shen Yu, since he was allergic to alcohol and couldn't drink, he naturally didn't join Shen Junyan and the others.

Meanwhile, Chen's mother, Xia Ningwei, would pick up some food for Li Shu from time to time. Soon, the small bowls in front of the girl were almost piled up into a small hill.

Out of consideration for the elders' kindness and the principle of not wasting food, Li Shu finished the food in the bowl very seriously, hardly raising her head. Besides, the food here was really delicious.

Chen Yu took a sip of orange juice, his lips rosy. He casually raised his hand that was resting on the table, and said nonchalantly, "You can eat quite a bit."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, lifted her eyelids and looked at the man beside her. Her face showed no emotion, and her voice was casual and lazy, with no ups and downs in her tone. "You're nosy, but I didn't eat your rice."

Chen Yu chuckled softly, his narrow eyes sparkling with affection. He picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a shrimp and put it into the half-eaten bowl in front of Li Shu. "Well, you're right, eat more."

Li Shu used her chopsticks to pick at the shrimp in the bowl. Her eyelashes were dark and her fair face was delicate and beautiful. She said lazily, "I don't eat shrimp with shells."

"You mean, you need me to help you peel it?" Shen Yu said as he put on disposable gloves, picked up the shrimp in Li Shu's bowl again and started peeling the shell.

He was quite quick, peeling a shrimp in no time, and then put it into Li Shu's bowl, "Eat it, it's already shelled."

Li Shu's mouth twitched slightly when she saw this. Her first impression of Chen Yu was that he was handsome but sick. However, she still said politely, "Thank you."

Chen Yu took off his disposable gloves, picked up a wet towel and slowly wiped his fingers. He glanced at Li Shu, as if he could guess what she was thinking, "Are you scolding me in your heart?"

Li Shu paused as she picked up the food, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a clear and cold voice without a trace of impurities, "No, why would you think so?"

Shen Yu curled the corners of his lips, said nothing more, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Soon, the dinner ended with everyone talking and laughing.

Although no one mentioned the engagement, everyone knew that it was a done deal if nothing unexpected happened.

Mainly because everyone saw the interaction between Chen Yu and Li Shu, it seemed that they got along quite well.

Especially Chen Yu, who not only took the initiative to pick up some food for Li Shu but also started peeling the shrimp shells. It would be unreasonable if this didn't mean something.

At this moment, Xia Ningwei suddenly thought of something and took out her phone from her bag. She then looked at the girl next to her who was already resting on a chair after eating and drinking, and said with a smile, "By the way, Xiaoshu, let's add each other on WeChat."

Upon hearing this, Li Shu sat up slightly, raised her eyes and turned her head to look at her. Her eyes, distinctly black and white, were pure and beautiful, "Okay, Auntie."

She habitually touched the pocket of her clothes, but found nothing. She frowned and realized that she was wearing a dress and had no pockets at all.

At that time, she forgot to take out her mobile phone from the pocket of her coat when she changed out, and she didn't like to carry a bag when going out, as it was not only troublesome but also a burden.

So for her, as long as her clothes have pockets and she uses the space symbol, she can hold a lot of things.

Li Shu touched the tip of her nose and said apologetically, "Um, I'm sorry, Auntie. I forgot to bring my phone when I went out today. Maybe next time."

Xia Ningwei nodded in understanding, put away her phone, and said, "It's okay, next time."

"Just search for the phone number and add it." Shen Yu suddenly said.

"Yeah, I really hadn't remembered it if you hadn't mentioned it!" Xia Ningwei's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and picked up her phone again, "Xiaoshu, tell me your phone number and I'll add you."

"Okay." Li Shu nodded obediently and gave her her cell phone number.

Xia Ningwei looked at the friend request she had just sent on her phone screen and said contentedly, "Okay, I've added it. Xiaoshu, remember to approve it when you get back."

She paused, looked up at Li Shu and Shen Yu, and continued, "By the way, haven't you two added yet?"

Shen Yu's wrist rested casually on the table. His skin was porcelain white, and his wrist bones were prominent. He held a cigarette between his slender fingers, but didn't light it. He spoke slowly, "I've added more."

"Hmm?" Xia Ningwei looked puzzled and asked, "When was it added?"

Chen Yu raised his chin slightly towards the phone on the table in front of him, and said in a lazy tone, "Just now, when I was reporting the number."

Xia Ningwei smiled and couldn't help but teasing, "You're really quick."

Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, lightly tapped the unlit cigarette with his fingertips, and said nothing.

Li Shu was sandwiched in the middle, with her eyebrows drooping and her extremely long eyelashes covering her eyes. She listened to the conversation between the two silently, but was a little surprised that Chen Yu would take the initiative to add her as a friend. Could it be that her fiancé really fell in love with her?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Junyan smiled and said, "Well, let's stop here for today. We can meet again next time when we are free."

Ji Heng seemed to be in a good mood. Perhaps because he drank a little too much, his cheeks were still slightly red, but he was not drunk. "Okay, Mr. Shen, let's make an appointment again when you are free. I will be the host next time."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Junyan's eyes fell on Li Shu, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, with a gentle expression on his face. "Xiao Shu, you can come to our house when you are free."

Although he didn't say much to Li Shu, he was still quite satisfied with his future daughter-in-law after the whole meal.

"Yes." Xia Ningwei affectionately took Li Shu's hand, which was casually placed on her leg, and patted it gently, her voice tinged with laughter. "If you come, Auntie will cook for you herself."

Li Shu nodded, her deep eyes dark and clear, "Yes, okay."
