Ji Yuanzhou and Shen Jingxiu have been friends for many years. Seeing this, he did not try to get closer to Wen Yan, but instead walked silently next to Shen Jingxiu.
After walking a few steps, Ji Yuanzhou suddenly spoke up: "Jingxiu, let's talk later."
“Okay,” Shen Jingxiu replied immediately, “That’s exactly what I was thinking too. By the way, how many days are you planning to stay this time?”
"Hmm..." Ji Yuanzhou hesitated for two seconds, "Let's see how it goes?"
"It depends on the situation?" Shen Jingxiu turned to look at his friend: "It depends on what situation?"
Ji Yuanzhou curled his lips into a smile: "Jingxiu, I've noticed you've been asking a lot of questions today."
"…………" Shen Jingxiu glanced at Ji Yuanzhou, speechless.
The reason he has so many problems is because Ji Yuanzhou seemed abnormal at first.
A person who likes to make plans for everything, surprisingly didn't have a plan when he went on a trip for a few days and had to decide on the spot.
What situation was he referring to? Wen Yan?
They chatted casually for a few more minutes along the way, and the three of them soon returned to their tent.
Shen Yuan and Su Yang were both surprised to see Ji Yuanzhou.
After Ji Yuanzhou came forward to greet them and explain the situation, Su Yang then inquired about Qin Yulong.
Wen Yan then whispered to Su Yang, telling her that Qin Yulong's sudden departure was actually because she had her period.
While the mother and daughter were talking, Shen Jingxiu and Ji Yuanzhou also changed their conversation location.
It was Ji Yuanzhou who broke the silence first.
"You don't look too good today, and you don't seem to welcome me. Am I right?"
Shen Jingxiu frowned and looked at his friend: "It's good that you know."
Ji Yuanzhou raised an eyebrow: "Then may I ask what the reason is?"
Are you playing dumb with me?
"No, I just don't understand. I don't even understand what you mean by 'feigning ignorance'?"
"In what way? First of all, you must be lying to me. Wen Yan isn't here now. I'll ask you one more time, why are you here? Is this really just a coincidence?"
Why can't it be?
“Yuanzhou, we’ve been good friends for years. Have I ever lied to you? You’re the kind of person who plans everything in advance. This trip wasn’t part of your plan at all. You couldn’t have just appeared here for no reason. If you consider me a brother, don’t try to fool me.”
“Okay,” Ji Yuanzhou scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, “I know this behavior is very unlike me, but that’s exactly what I did. I actually…”
"Go on."
“I actually watched your sister’s live stream. I know your family will be vacationing in the Southern Hemisphere during the Spring Festival, but I didn’t know exactly where you chose. However, when I watched her live stream yesterday, her camera panned across your travel itinerary, which had very detailed arrangements. So yes, I came here for her.”
"really……"
"Don't be like that, why are you frowning so much? Is this what's making you angry with me? But you asked me in front of your sister, I can't exactly tell her the real reason, can I? I'm afraid it will scare her, I don't want her to think I'm some kind of stalker. I think she's a very innocent person, I don't want her to think I have ulterior motives. Don't tell her, okay?"
Ji Yuanzhou has confessed and hopes that his good friends will stand by him.
However, to his surprise, Shen Jingxiu refused and warned him in an unusually serious manner.
"Discard this idea and don't have any ulterior motives towards her."
Ji Yuanzhou asked, puzzled, "Why? You're my good friend, you know me, and I'm not someone you can't be proud of. Why are you against me getting close to her?"
Shen Jingxiu stared intently at Ji Yuanzhou: "Have you forgotten what you promised me? We happened to run into your father at the restaurant that day, and he intentionally hinted that he wanted our two families to arrange a marriage. You told me that yourself, that you had no feelings for my sister."
"What?" Ji Yuanzhou frowned. "Did I forget what happened that day, or did you forget? My dad, me, and you, we were talking about your younger sister, Shen Zhirou. No, she should be called Qin Yulong now. We weren't talking about Wen Yan."
"Yes! I haven't forgotten that, but that's exactly the problem! Your father wants you to marry my younger sister. Clearly, the only one he has his eye on is the Shen family's biological daughter, not their adopted daughter."
"But these are not problems."
"Yuanzhou! How dare you speak so confidently? From childhood to adulthood, have you ever disobeyed your father even once? Whether it was when you left the main family to expand overseas, or when you were called back when your career was thriving, wasn't it all your father's will? He wants you to marry a daughter from a prestigious family, would you marry an orphan and an adopted daughter?"
"I understand what you mean by Wen Yan now, and I can tell you very clearly that she has no feelings for you. To her, you are just a good friend of her older brother, an older brother from a family that has been friends for generations, nothing more."
"Stop making any further moves. Since there's no result, let's not let anything that shouldn't happen happen. I don't want things to get out of hand in the end, which would put you in a difficult position in the Ji family, and she would also be hurt."
“…………” Ji Yuanzhou fell silent.
It took him a while before his eyes refocused on Shen Jingxiu's face.
"You're my best brother, I feel like you're the person who understands me best in this world. But now even you are going to stop me from pursuing my heart's desire? I've never enjoyed watching someone laugh, listening to her talk, or watching her eat as much as I do now. Are you going to stop me too?"
