Separated by just one door, Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly.
He didn't expect Wen Yan to come looking for him at this time, but thinking about it carefully, it was indeed something Wen Yan would do.
She's actually a very simple and straightforward person. She'll never beat around the bush if she can solve a problem by being direct.
"Big brother, I know you're inside, please open the door."
She had already spoken twice; if he asked her to speak a third time outside the door, Shen Jingxiu would feel bad.
He turned around and turned the doorknob.
The moment Wen Yan saw Shen Jingxiu, her expression turned somewhat displeased.
Shen Jingxiu opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he didn't utter a single word.
Seeing his expression, Wen Yan became even more displeased: "Aren't you going to invite me in? There's still some time before we leave, and I have a few things I want to say to you. Can I come in?"
"Yes, please come in." Shen Jingxiu gave Wen Yan a deep look. She had her unhappiness and grievances written all over her face, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He stepped aside to make way for Wen Yan.
After Wen Yan entered the room, he gently closed the door.
"What do you want to tell me?" Shen Jingxiu had probably already guessed the purpose of Wen Yan's trip, but he still pretended not to know.
Before today, he never knew he was such a hesitant and indecisive person.
Wen Yan said irritably, "You don't know what I'm going to say to you, right? Can you tell I'm angry?"
"Yes, I can see that."
"Then I won't play games with you anymore. Brother, I want to ask you if I did something wrong to offend you, or if I unintentionally said something that made you angry."
Shen Jingxiu paused for a moment, his throat tightening slightly: "Is that what you think?"
"What else could it be?" Wen Yan stared intently into Shen Jingxiu's eyes. "Why don't you reply to my messages? You're not usually like this. I can't think of any other reason why you're suddenly ignoring me or ignoring me, except that I've offended you or upset you."
Now, let's face each other, you in front of me and I in front of you, and let's talk things out directly, okay? If there's any misunderstanding between us, then fine, we'll find a way to resolve the conflict right now.
Shen Jingxiu was silent for two seconds before looking at Wen Yan and saying, "There is no misunderstanding between us. You are overthinking it."
"I'm overthinking this???" Wen Yan was speechless. "Then answer one question for me. Why don't you reply to the WeChat messages I sent you? Twice, you didn't reply to me either time."
"I didn't see it."
"What?! Dude, can you be honest? Did you just not see my message, or did you not even look at your phone? If you did look at your phone, how come you didn't see my message?"
"I checked my phone, but I definitely didn't see your message."
"Why? I don't believe it. You replied to Mom's WeChat message last night, how could you not have seen my message? Even if my message was at the very end of the page at that time, I sent you a lot of photos around midnight. Logically, my message should have been pushed to the top, how could you not have seen it?"
Besides wanting an answer, Wen Yan also felt a little wronged.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?! Can't you just tell me the truth? I don't think this makes sense. Why is this happening? Give me a reason. Or maybe you're just annoyed by me, but I haven't been bombarding you with messages! We were perfectly fine during the day!"
Yes, everything is fine. The one who's not doing well is him; he had thoughts he shouldn't have had.
Seeing her standing before him so aggrieved, Shen Jingxiu was filled with regret.
How could he bear to give her the silent treatment? He's completely insane.
But since we've already started, we have to keep going.
He frowned as he looked at Wen Yan, deliberately putting on a cold demeanor.
"No, that's not true. I didn't find you annoying, and you didn't offend me. I'm just a cold person by nature. Maybe I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I seemed even more aloof, which caused you to misunderstand. That's all."
“No,” Wen Yan shook her head, “It’s not like that. The indifference you showed when you were sick and uncomfortable is different from the distance you’ve been displaying since yesterday.”
"That's why I said you're overthinking it; there's really no difference."
"Then let me see your phone!" Wen Yan came up with a plan. "If you really didn't see my message, then my message is unread and there will be a little red dot. I can only believe you if you show it to me."
“Wen Yan,” Shen Jingxiu looked down at her and let out a long breath, “There’s no need for that. I don’t need to prove anything to you. If you don’t believe me, then there’s no point in you coming to me for questions. You can leave now.”
"...You're kicking me out? Just because of this?" Wen Yan asked incredulously. "You weren't like this before. And you still say I haven't offended you?"
"How many times do I have to say it? Why do you keep harping on a question that already has an answer?"
"Because that's not true! You've covered up the truth!!" Wen Yan was getting more and more agitated as she couldn't get Shen Jingxiu to talk, and his words were becoming increasingly outrageous.
But wasn't Shen Jingxiu also putting on a brave face?
He shouldn't have treated Wen Yan like that; it wasn't his original intention.
If anyone dares to make Wen Yan suffer like this, he will definitely not let that person get away with it.
