Chapter 59 "How can he be so cute?"
These words made Song Shiyi's cheeks instantly burn, the blush spreading from the tips of her ears to her jawline.
She bit her lip, lowered her head even further, and used her hair to cover her blushing face.
A soft, slightly embarrassed voice came out in a muffled tone: "Who...who wants to be with you!"
He Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, his tone confident yet slightly teasing: "Really?"
Song Shiyi pursed her lips and did not respond.
"You really don't want to?"
He asked another question, his voice rising slightly at the end.
She kept her head down, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyelids, and even her breathing became lighter.
He Jinzhao wasn't in a hurry. As the bus swayed gently, he leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, his low laughter carrying a magnetic quality: "Hmm?"
This soft hum, when it reached Song Shiyi's ears, was incredibly alluring.
Ever since she realized her own feelings, even a casual laugh from him makes her heart skip a beat.
It sounds so good.
She couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes, and as soon as she lifted her eyelashes a little, she met He Jinzhao's smiling, narrow, dark eyes.
He was watching her, resting his chin on his hand, leaning casually against the back of his chair, his eyes brimming with barely concealed laughter and a hint of smug cunning.
"Spying on me?"
His voice was even lower, tinged with mockery.
Song Shiyi suddenly opened her eyes wide, then quickly lowered her head, puffed out her cheeks, and looked both shy and embarrassed.
Seeing her like this, He Jinzhao couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her puffed-up cheeks.
The skin touched by his fingertips was delicate and warm, and his voice was full of doting affection.
"How can she be so cute?"
Song Shiyi gently bit her lower lip. How come she never realized He Jinzhao was this kind of person before?
However, after this incident, her unease gradually disappeared.
An irrepressible joy followed, overflowing from her clear, bright eyes.
Seeing how happy she was, He Jinzhao couldn't help but smile.
So easily satisfied.
—
For the next two days, the two of them went to the music room whenever they had time. With more practice, their coordination naturally improved.
The two became increasingly in sync, and their relationship visibly grew closer than before.
On Monday afternoon, as the two were leaving after rehearsals, they ran into two acquaintances.
Song Shiyi was slightly taken aback, and greeted him politely, "Brother Yanci."
The moment she spoke, Shen Yanci's gaze, which had been scrutinizing the two of them, instantly changed.
His face was full of astonishment, and his voice was filled with shock.
"Yi-yi...you can speak now?"
Ji Siyu, standing next to him, also looked surprised.
After all, she was aware that Song Shiyi had been unable to speak since childhood.
She had previously thought it was a pity about this girl.
No matter how outstanding or beautiful she is, she is still a disabled person.
Things are different now.
She has returned to normal.
And it seems they've gotten used to it.
That means she was already able to speak today.
With his flaws removed, wouldn't Song Shiyi be even more popular at Peking University?
She suddenly turned to look at her boyfriend, whose eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.
Her eyes darkened; Shen Yanci's feelings for Song Shiyi had been ambiguous before.
What about now?
What will he do?
Song Shiyi nodded, still quite pleased to hear this. She smiled and said, "Yes, it should be ready in a couple of days."
After recovering, Shen Yanci heard this and felt a slight displeasure.
So much time has passed, why hasn't anyone told him?
Song Shiyi used to be very obedient.
Even if he ignored her, she would tell him everything, and their chat history was almost entirely filled with messages from Song Shiyi.
Because she cannot speak or make phone calls, she can only send messages.
It's fine for a day or two, but it can go on for a long time.
It's inevitable that you'll find it a bit annoying.
Gradually, he lost patience.
Sometimes, even if I see it, I'll pretend I don't. Anyway, Song Shiyi has a good temper and is very well-behaved.
If they're angry, just coax them.
They grew up together, and he knows her best.
I never expected that everything would change in just over half a month.
He couldn't understand it.
Why did it turn out like this?
He couldn't help but ask, "Why weren't you told about something this big?"
"Aren't I your brother?"
His expression darkened slightly, and his gaze swept over He Jinzhao standing beside her, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"Is it because you have a new older brother now?"
He Jinzhao wasn't oblivious to the meaning behind his words; he immediately frowned, his eyes containing a hint of warning.
"Yanci, you've gone too far."
Ji Siyu narrowed her eyes. She was a girl too, so she understood girls better.
The atmosphere between the two of them clearly indicates that something has happened.
This relationship was much closer than when she last saw it.
Moreover, the way Song Shiyi looked at Shen Yanci was no longer the same as when she first met him.
Could it be that these two are together?
But none of this concerns her.
What she cared about was Shen Yanci's attitude.
His behavior just now displeased her.
He already has a girlfriend, so why does he still care so much about other women?
Does she not exist?
But she still held back.
After all, she knew that their relationship, which had lasted for more than ten years, was very deep. Even He Jinzhao, whom she had only known for a short time, knew about it, but he did not.
It's understandable that they're angry.
Never mind, I'll give him face in public first.
Shen Yanci ignored He Jinzhao. After all, they were good brothers, and he didn't want to have any unpleasantness with him and affect their relationship.
However, this does not mean that he was not angry.
His expression was cold and stern, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his eyes deep and almost black, staring straight at her.
Waiting for her answer.
Song Shiyi looked at him quietly, wondering why, ever since she no longer had any other feelings for him.
She suddenly realized that Shen Yanci was not the same as she had imagined.
He used to be carefree and unrestrained, and treated people with gentleness and kindness.
In high school, many girls had a crush on him.
She seemed to have never seen him refuse anyone, nor had she ever seen him make an exception for anyone.
He's good to everyone, no different from her.
She only gained some genuine affection from him because of her childhood.
But no matter what, Shen Yanci was really good to her. Not to mention, she even lost her chance to be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam because of her in their senior year of high school.
She kept this matter in her heart.
She won't forget.
She wasn't angry; she just gently pursed her lips, her voice ethereal.
"Brother Yanci, you will always be my brother."
"It won't change."
