“Where could I go if I’m not home? I didn’t sleep all night either, so I only woke up about two hours earlier than you. When you go downstairs, call Shen Jinghe and ask him if he wants noodles. Aunt Zhang made chicken soup to nourish us. I promised to show you my skills, so I learned how to make chicken noodle soup from Aunt Zhang.”
Wen Yan was so hungry that she could almost smell the aroma just from hearing the words "chicken soup".
"Okay, okay, I'll go and call him down right away."
Just as Wen Yan was about to knock on Chen Jinghe's door, he opened it and came out on his own.
"Awake?" Shen Jinghe asked Wen Yan, then frowned instantly. "Why are you grinning at me like an idiot? Have I become even more handsome?"
Wen Yan chuckled: "I heard someone can call me 'Big Brother' now, it's a pity I didn't hear it. So, those two words aren't actually that hard, are they?"
"Boring." Shen Jinghe ignored Wen Yan and quickly walked past her.
Wen Yan immediately caught up with him: "Don't walk so fast. Are you embarrassed? It's rare to see a big star like us being embarrassed."
"…………You're finished. You've been corrupted by that kid Shen Jingchuan. He's the one who told you that, right?"
Shen Jinghe reached out and flicked Wen Yan's head: "If you keep doing that, I'm going to get angry."
Wen Yan wasn't afraid of him: "What are the consequences of getting angry? Are you going to hit me or yell at me?"
“Very well,” Shen Jinghe licked his back teeth, “You’re really finished.”
"Hehe," Wen Yan stuck out her tongue at Chen Jinghe, "I don't believe it."
"You don't believe me, do you?" Shen Jinghe suddenly stopped at the corner of the stairs.
Before Wen Yan could react, he suddenly bent down and picked her up like a child.
Two seconds of weightlessness followed, and then Wen Yan was placed on the railing of the second-floor staircase.
Then Shen Jinghe let go.
"Ah!" Wen Yan cried out, "This is the second floor, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump!"
Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow: "Now you know you're scared, huh? Beg me, and I'll carry you down."
"Please, sister, put me back right now. I'll put me back where you took it from."
"If you don't care, then I'm not going to bother with you anymore."
Shen Jinghe certainly wouldn't ignore Wen Yan, but he just wanted to tease her, so he pretended to go downstairs and ignore her.
Wen Yan gritted her teeth in anger: "Chen Jinghe, you stingy little devil! I was just teasing you, just joking. I'll jump down myself! I'll close my eyes, steel my heart, and my fear of heights won't bother me!"
Actually, the railing wasn't particularly high; it was just that Wen Yan was a little scared. If she really wanted to go down, she could.
Just as she was about to try to put her foot down, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
At first, she thought it was Shen Jinghe who had returned, but when she looked up, she found it was Shen Jingxiu.
"Big brother??" Wen Yan's eyes widened in surprise. "You didn't go to the company today?"
"She went and came back at noon." As he spoke, Shen Jingxiu gently lifted Wen Yan down from the stair railing.
"Stand firm." Only after confirming that Wen Yan's feet were firmly on the ground did he completely let go of her.
Shen Jinghe turned around when he heard Shen Jingxiu's voice.
He was already preparing to turn around, but unexpectedly, the boss appeared at that very moment.
The appearance of the third person was like being intercepted halfway, and the mood for the joke seemed to change.
Could it be that Wen Yan thinks he's really bullying her?
Thinking of this, Shen Jinghe immediately explained to Wen Yan, "I was actually joking with you. I was already preparing to turn back."
"Hmph! You naughty second brother, when you're punished to eat noodles later, you'd better give me all the meat in your bowl!"
Wen Yan couldn't guarantee anything about anyone else in the family, but she was definitely the one who could take a joke the most.
Upon hearing her say that, Shen Jinghe realized that she hadn't taken the matter to heart.
However, Shen Jingxiu still added a word of advice: "You should be mindful of your words when joking in the future."
“Exactly!” Wen Yan agreed, “Big brother is still the best.”
Hearing the noise, Shen Jingchuan, still wearing an apron around his waist, walked to the stairwell with a pair of chopsticks in his hand.
"If he's the best, then where does the person who's cooking noodles for you rank?"
Wen Yan: "…………" A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. "You're number one."
"If I'm first, then what's the best I could be?"
"Tie for first place."
"I give up. What about the second one?"
"Uh, also number one."
"Okay, I'm really impressed by you. You're a master of balancing things. You've managed to make this bowl of water perfectly level."
Wen Yan: "You flatter me."
Shen Jinghe: "…………" Why do I feel a little guilty?
Later, when they were eating noodles, he not only gave all the shredded chicken to Wen Yan, but also gave away all the vegetables. In the end, he ate a bowl of plain and unremarkable noodles by himself.
Shen Jingxiu had lunch at the company before returning, so he didn't eat with the three of them.
After they had all finished eating, Shen Jingxiu called Wen Yan over.
"Let me introduce you to two people."
Who is it?
“Bodyguards. I don’t think it’s safe for you to only have a frail female assistant with you. I’ve found two very experienced security guards for you. They will ensure your safety and prevent something like what happened last night from happening again.”
Wen Yan originally wanted to refuse, since no one in the entire crew brought bodyguards while working.
