"After a whole morning of military training, are you still adapting?" Shen Yu changed the subject.
Li Shu picked up the untouched soup on the coffee table, took a few sips, and said lightly, "It's okay."
Chen Yu continued to peel the shrimp, "Just tell me if you can't handle it."
Li Shu put down the soup bowl, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a freshly peeled shrimp and put it into her mouth. She ate almost every shrimp that Shen Yu peeled, and she was quite self-conscious. "Why, are you going to give me a backdoor, Instructor Shen?"
Shen Yu hummed, without stopping the movement of peeling shrimp, and said without raising his head: "As long as you want."
Li Shu tilted her head slightly and looked at the handsome and eye-catching profile of the man. His jet-black hair was scattered on his forehead, his nose was high, and his long black eyelashes drooped slightly, covering his deep eyes. The teardrop mole under the corner of his eye was even more alluring, and a strange feeling suddenly crossed her heart.
He coughed dryly, looked away, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and said slowly: "No, I'm not that delicate."
Not long after, Li Shu put down her chopsticks after finishing her meal.
She stood up slowly and put her camouflage hat back on. "I'm done eating. If you have nothing else to do, I'll be leaving first."
Shen Yu took the tissue and wiped his hands, nodding slightly, "Well, go back and have a good rest."
Li Shu habitually raised her hand to adjust the brim of her hat, greeted him, and then left the office.
Outside the door, Huo Yandong looked at the girl who opened the door and raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. "Eat so fast? Don't you want to have a cup of tea or something before leaving?"
Li Shu closed the door, put her hands in her pockets, raised her chin slightly, and said nonchalantly, "No, there's still some time, go back and get some sleep."
"Okay." Huo Yandong nodded, and did not try to persuade Shen Yu to stay. He turned his head to look at Li Shu's leaving back, then pushed open the door and walked in.
......
As soon as Huo Yandong came in, he saw that there were almost no missing dishes on the coffee table, especially the rice in front of Shen Yu, who had not touched a single bite, and only the braised prawns were half eaten.
He pointed to the pile of shrimp shells beside him, looked at the man leaning on the sofa with his eyes downcast, and asked, "Brother Yu, you're not so busy peeling shrimp for Li Shu that you don't even eat them yourself, are you?"
Chen Yu raised his head from the armrest of the sofa intermittently, opened his eyelids upon hearing this, glanced at him, and said abruptly: "Li Shu said she wants to break off the engagement with me tomorrow."
Huo Yandong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't react for a moment and subconsciously said, "What?"
Chen Yu leaned over and picked up the cigarette that he had thrown on the coffee table earlier. He turned the lighter in his hand, and with a "click", the flame lit up. He tilted his head slightly to light the cigarette.
He took a deep breath, took out the cigarette and held it between his fingertips. His appearance was somewhat distorted by the swirling smoke, and his voice was low and cold: "What should I do?"
Huo Yandong scratched his hair and walked to the sofa to sit down. He was quite confused. "No, why are you two breaking off the engagement when you were just having a good meal together? I just saw her outside and didn't notice anything unusual. She seemed to be in a good mood..."
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a layer of low pressure lingered around him without him noticing when. He said word by word: "Are you in a good mood?"
Huo Yandong realized that he might have said something wrong. He shrank his neck, coughed dryly, and quickly denied it: "No, no, I saw it wrongly."
Then he changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Yu, did you make someone angry?"
Chen Yu flicked the ash from his fingertips, frowned slightly, and succinctly recounted what had just happened to him and Li Shu.
Huo Yandong listened, stroking his chin as he pondered for a moment, then analyzed the situation logically: "I think Li Shu was probably joking, just trying to scare you. If she really wanted to break off the engagement with you, she would have flipped the table and left long ago. How could she continue chatting and eating with you calmly?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking that what he said made sense. He put out the half-burned cigarette in the ashtray, picked up his phone and sent a message to Li Shu.
......
On this side, Li Shu just came out of the Academic Affairs Building and unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
Ji Qianya took the arm of her female companion and walked forward, a sweet smile on her face, and said softly: "Xiaoshu, shouldn't you be eating in the cafeteria at this time? Why are you here?"
Li Shu stopped and glanced at her indifferently, "Why, do I need to report to you for everything I do?"
Ji Qianya's smile froze at the corners of her mouth, and her hand holding her companion's arm tightened slightly, seeming a little aggrieved. "Xiaoshu, that's not what I meant. I just care about you."
Li Shu narrowed her eyes coldly. She looked down at her, towering over her in height. She said slowly, "Don't meddle in my business, and don't hang around me like an annoying fly all day long."
After saying that, before Ji Qianya could react, he walked past her.
Seeing this, his companion Gu Mingyue frowned, turned around to look at Li Shu's leaving back, and said with displeasure: "No, who is this?"
"Qianya, is this your relative? I heard you call her sister when we were distributing water on the playground earlier."
Ji Qianya's eyes flickered, and she responded softly, "Yeah."
Gu Mingyue retracted her gaze and looked at Ji Qianya beside her. She seemed to have noticed something and said indignantly, "How can she be like this? I saw it when you handed her water before. Not only did she not want the water you gave her, she also had a stinky face. Now that you care about her, not only does she not appreciate it, but she also scolds you. She really has no manners at all!
"How could your family have such a low-class relative? I've really opened my eyes today. This is the first time I've seen such a person."
Ji Qianya pulled the corners of her mouth, her smile was a little far-fetched, and she looked understanding, and said softly: "Mingyue, I'm fine, Xiaoshu is just like this, she doesn't mean any harm, you just get used to it."
Gu Mingyue disagreed, patted her hand, and reminded her: "You can't spoil this kind of person just because she is a little related to you, otherwise she will be in trouble."
"Okay, I understand." Ji Qianya nodded, "Let's go in quickly."
"Qianya, you are too soft-hearted, that's why you let your relative take advantage of you. Next time you meet her, if she behaves like this again, I will teach her a lesson for you." Gu Mingyue said righteously.
Ji Qianya's lips curled up slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head and said disapprovingly: "Mingyue, this is not a good idea, let's forget it."
She paused and continued, "Mingyue, please don't do anything to Xiaoshu for me, otherwise I will be angry and ignore you!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Mingyue agreed, but in her heart she was planning how to teach Li Shu a lesson the next time she met her.
