"What? What did you hear?"
The speaker deliberately lowered their voice, but it was still heard by Wen Yan and Shen Jingcheng.
"I heard her call Teacher Shen 'Third Brother'."
"Huh? Third Brother? So what? It's just a form of address."
"Is it really just a title? Think about it again. Why does President Yan call Teacher Shen 'Third Brother'? Who does he follow in taking that title from?"
"Oh right, we know that Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingchuan are brothers. Shen Jingchuan and Teacher Shen are twins... So you mean, Wen Yan calls Teacher Shen after either Shen Jingchuan or Shen Jinghe?"
"That's right."
"Is it possible that Wen Yan and Teacher Shen are siblings or relatives?"
"Your idea is very niche. If President Yan and Teacher Shen are related, then she must be siblings or relatives of Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingchuan. Have you ever seen any family members who are being wildly paired up by netizens and not come out to clarify?"
"Oh, that makes sense. I think it's Shen Jinghe."
“I’m different from you. I think it’s Shen Jingchuan.”
At this point, the two finally got into the car.
Wen Yan also quietly closed her car window.
A few seconds later, she broke the silence first: "The car in front has left."
Shen Jingcheng started the car and didn't look at Wen Yan until the car had driven out of the underground parking garage.
"Are you the Mr. Yan they're talking about?"
"Yeah, netizens called you that for a while, and then the company employees started calling you that too. By the way, do they already know who you are?"
“Yes,” Shen Jingcheng smiled, “after all, our reputation is here.”
“That’s true.” As she spoke, Wen Yan took a special look at Shen Jingcheng. “When you first came back, I remember your skin was a bit dark. You could tell the difference between you and Fourth Brother at a glance. Now that you’re fair-skinned, you look exactly like Fourth Brother. If you two didn’t talk and were wearing the same clothes, I’m afraid even your family would have a hard time telling you apart.”
"Yes, when we were little, Jingchuan and I often played a game of switching identities, and our family really couldn't tell us apart. But after we grew up, we rarely wore the same clothes anymore. Later, we didn't live together for school or work, and apart from our family, very few people connected us. What about you?"
"Huh?" Wen Yan asked, puzzled. "What about me?"
Do you have any siblings?
"Huh?" Wen Yan was starting to get confused.
Although we're not close, we shouldn't be that distant, right? Doesn't he know my background?
Okay, I'm not the center of the world, he probably genuinely doesn't know.
"Besides you, I have no other brothers or sisters. My biological parents only had me as their child."
Shen Jingcheng glanced at Wen Yan and nodded.
"You've been very busy lately. How are you doing? Is your body able to handle it?"
"It's alright," Wen Yan replied, "but I feel very tired when I stop occasionally."
"Then lean back and take a nap. I'll wake you up when we get there."
"Okay, thank you, Third Brother."
"No need to be so polite."
Wen Yan nodded.
But he was the one who was always the one to be polite first.
-
When Wen Yan was woken up by Shen Jingcheng, the car was parked in front of a white building.
Because it was dark, Wen Yan couldn't see what was written on the wall, but she could clearly see a national flag hanging high.
"Where is this?" Wen Yan asked, puzzled and curious.
Shen Jingcheng got out of the car and opened the door for her, casually replying, "This is the research institute where I work."
