study.
After putting down the small cake and documents in his hand, Shen Jingxiu immediately turned around, went back, and closed the door.
He has a little-known hobby that has become less and less known as he's grown up: he actually loves all kinds of small cakes.
He had loved it since he was a child, but because his grandfather frowned and said, "How can a boy like sweets so much? You should focus on your studies," he hid this little hobby.
Every time his mother and younger sister ate small cakes, he could only watch silently from the side, and he had to pretend to be uninterested.
Over time, people came to believe that he didn't like these foods and never offered to share them with him.
All kinds of desserts used to be the favorite of her younger sister, Shen Zhirou, but after her sister fell ill and left home, even though Su Yang herself also liked sweets, these foods never appeared in the house again after that.
Since her return, Shen Zhirou seems to have lost this hobby. Today is the first time in many years that he has seen dessert at home.
And at this moment, this delicious-looking dessert is lying quietly beside him, waiting for him to taste it.
He scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth; the melt-in-your-mouth sweetness instantly won over his taste buds.
While eating, he thought to himself that it was fortunate Wen Yan didn't know him very well, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have given him dessert.
However, it was quite unexpected that she would specially send over a small cake.
But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising. She kept praising herself in her heart, which should be a sign that she likes her older brother.
It's perfectly reasonable to give an older brother a piece of food if you like him.
Shen Jingxiu quickly finished the small cake. After eating, he felt a little thirsty and planned to go downstairs to get a glass of water.
As soon as he stepped out of the study, he saw Wen Yan knocking on Shen Jinghe's door with another small cake in her hand.
That piece looks like it tastes better...
She even took the cake inside, which shows she prefers the second brother in the family.
But am I really just an ice cube, a refrigerator, unapproachable?
-
Shen Jinghe opened the door and raised an eyebrow at Wen Yan.
"What's up?"
Wen Yan presented the small cake to Shen Jinghe with both hands, smiling broadly.
"You didn't eat much for dinner, and you seem to be sulking. You must not be full, so I'll bring you this to fill your stomach."
"Hmph," Shen Jinghe sneered, "Regretting it now?"
Wen Yan blinked: "What regret? What are you regretting?"
"A question you already know the answer to."
"Aren't you going to invite me in? Or should we just stand here and talk?"
"Come in and close the door."
The two entered the room one after the other.
After Wen Yan closed the door, Shen Jinghe smiled and repeated it.
"So, do you regret begging me to come back?"
"Um... Second Brother, shouldn't you watch your wording? I clearly invited you back, how can you say I begged you?"
This guy's still smiling; looks like he's not in a bad mood.
Shen Jinghe: Of course he was in a good mood. How could he not be happy after he had silenced the old man?
He glanced at Wen Yan: "I don't know why you had to do that, but don't do it again next time."
Wen Yan's eyes widened: "I don't know why? Can't you tell? Am I not being obvious enough? I'm obviously doing this to make Mom happy. Didn't you notice how happy she was when she saw you?"
"And what about Shen Zhirou?" Shen Jinghe scoffed, "Don't you usually dislike her? Why are you taking the initiative to befriend her? Did the sun rise in the west?"
"Of course the sun didn't rise in the west, but harmony in the family brings prosperity. If I want to make Mom happy, I should stop fighting with her."
"Really? You really are sacrificing your own interests for the greater good. I never expected you to have this quality."
Wen Yan: "…………I've thought about it, and this cake really does taste good. I sincerely recommend you try it. As for me, goodbye!"
Shen Jinghe snorted coldly: "Remember to close the door properly when you go out."
"I know, I don't have a tail!"
Wen Yan gently closed the door and went out, in a good mood.
I thought I had meant well but ended up doing something wrong, but it turned out that Shen Jinghe's mood was not affected at all, and his sharp tongue was still top-notch.
As for Shen Yuan, I believe the beautiful Ms. Su will be able to appease him.
After considering this, Wen Yan couldn't help but smile.
Just as he was about to go upstairs to his room, he unexpectedly saw Shen Zhirou at the top of the stairs.
Wen Yan greeted him first, "Are you going down?"
Shen Zhirou smiled faintly: "Yes, I'm going to get some juice. Do you want some?"
"Thank you, but I don't need it. I'm going back to my room."
Having eaten a few extra pieces of cake, Wen Yan decided to go back to her room to find a pair of sneakers and then go downstairs to the garden for a few laps to burn off some energy.
But Shen Zhirou didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go.
"Did you just come out of your second brother's room? What were you talking about? You seem to be having a great time."
Wen Yan remained silent for a moment.
Because I felt the progress was too fast.
Currently, her relationship with Shen Zhirou seems to be stuck in a situation where she makes overtures and Shen Zhirou responds indifferently.
But now that Shen Zhirou is asking such detailed questions, Wen Yan feels a little uncomfortable.
However, it cannot be ruled out that Shen Zhirou also wanted harmony in the family, so Wen Yan still answered her question cooperatively.
"Yes, we didn't talk about much. I just brought my second brother a small cake over because I noticed he didn't eat much tonight."
Shen Zhirou smiled faintly: "Did Second Brother accept it?"
“I accepted it. It was just a small piece of cake, and he didn’t say he wouldn’t eat it.”
Shen Zhirou nodded: "I understand, then I'll go down first."
"Okay, bye-bye."
After they parted ways, Wen Yan quickly returned to her room upstairs.
She originally wanted to find a set of sportswear to change into, but after rummaging through drawers and cabinets for a long time, she finally found a sweatshirt.
After getting dressed again, she wasn't in a hurry. Wearing Bluetooth headphones, she watched videos as she went downstairs.
When she got to the second floor, one of her earphones accidentally fell off, so she quickly chased after it and picked it up.
Just then, she came across a funny video. It was so hilarious that she couldn't help but laugh out loud the first time she watched it.
She couldn't resist standing still and watching it a second time.
However, just as she laughed out loud again, she suddenly felt a gaze fall on her.
Pausing the video and looking ahead, Wen Yan saw Shen Zhirou walking towards her expressionlessly.
Seeing that expressionless face, Wen Yan immediately lost the desire to laugh.
However, she still greeted him: "Hi, Zhirou."
Shen Zhirou took large strides and soon arrived at Wen Yan's side.
Her face was expressionless: "Let's talk, Wen Yan."
