He glanced at the small bed but didn't go over to sit down. His eyes were always following Chen Keke.

Chen Keke felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him. She raised her wrist to check the time. It was already 12:30.

"Brother Shen, you haven't eaten yet, right? There's not much food left at home. Can I cook some noodles for you?"

Shen Zheyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Chen Keke went to the counter and got some noodles and two eggs.

She skillfully went to the cooking place outside, turned on the fire, boiled water and cooked noodles, all in one go.

Soon, two bowls of egg noodles were ready.

There is an egg lying on the plain noodles, and the soup is clear without any chili.

Chen Keke still remembers that Shen Zheyu didn't like spicy food very much.

Shen Zheyu went over and brought the cooked noodles to the table inside. Chen Keke took the chopsticks and handed a pair to Shen Zheyu. The two sat opposite each other and ate without speaking to each other.

Shen Zheyu eats very quickly, it seems that he is hungry.

Chen Keke didn't know what he had been through, but she always felt that Brother Shen was a little bit cruel during this meeting.

I couldn't bear to see Shen Zheyu like this.

Without thinking too much, he picked up the egg in the bowl and put it into Shen Zheyu's bowl. "I don't like eating eggs." He explained weakly.

Shen Zheyu paused while eating noodles, and suddenly his eyes felt a little sore when he looked at the egg in the bowl.

He swallowed the noodles in his mouth and put the egg back, "You eat it yourself, I'm full." He picked up the bowl and drank up all the soup.

Chen Keke no longer insisted. She lowered her head and ate the noodles silently.

After a while she asked, "Does my grandfather know that you are here this time?"

"have no idea."

"Are my parents okay?"

After waiting for a while without getting a response, he raised his head and looked at Shen Zheyu in confusion.

Shen Zheyu dodged his gaze for a moment and said, "They all miss you very much."

In fact, he hadn't been home for a year and had no idea what was going on at home.

"So are you coming here to take me back this time?" Chen Keke asked nervously.

"No, I just want to see if you are doing well. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back."

Chen Keke suddenly burst into tears, tears rolled down her cheeks and fell into the bowl of soup in front of her.

She wiped her tears and choked up, "I don't want to worry you, but I can't go back now. When I am independent and able to face my grandfather, I will consider going back."

The biggest difficulty she would face if she went back now might be that her father forced her to get married without knowing it clearly. She didn't want this to happen, so she could only choose to let her parents down.

Shen Zheyu's throat tightened a little, his Adam's apple rolled, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What about us?"

Chen Keke sniffed and didn't dare to look directly into Shen Zheyu's eyes.

"Let's just forget it. Brother Shen, you are very good and you will meet a very good girl in the future."

Shen Zheyu suddenly said stubbornly, "But I'm very old, and no one wants me except you."

Chen Keke couldn't bear to hear such words, she felt very uncomfortable.

He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and pretended to be relaxed, "How could it be, Brother Shen, you underestimated your own charm! My customer just said you are handsome, how come no one wants you..."

Chen Keke couldn't continue her words halfway through. When she looked into Shen Zheyu's hurt eyes, she felt even more heartbroken.

Shen Zheyu's eyes were slightly red, and he looked very hurt.

Chen Keke had never seen Brother Shen like this before. Whether it was work or life, Brother Shen handled everything very well and never showed his emotions.

He always looks like he is planning something.

But today, Chen Keke actually saw his vulnerable side. It felt like a knife was stabbing her heart and it hurt so much.

Chen Keke bit her lips tightly and wanted to slap herself at this moment.

How could she hurt Brother Shen? How could she?

I wanted to say something comforting, but when the words came to my lips, I really didn't dare to open them.

She was afraid that she couldn't control herself and would throw herself into Shen Zheyu's arms.

Shen Zheyu stared at Chen Keke's face for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Forget it, I won't force you. Don't make it difficult for me, Keke. As long as you are happy, it's fine. If you are tired, don't forget that you still have Brother Shen to rely on."

Chen Keke smiled sadly and nodded, "I understand, Brother Shen, thank you so much."

Shen Zheyu stood up and stopped looking at Chen Keke. He didn't want to hear her say thank you. He said tiredly, "I plan to stay here for a few days and then leave. I'll find a hotel later."

Hearing him say this, Chen Keke seemed to be relieved.

She glanced at her own little snail house and realized that she had no way of accommodating any guests to stay.

After Chen Keke finished her noodles and was clearing the bowls on the table, she said, "I'll go with you later! You're not familiar with this place, and you don't speak the language, so it'll be a little difficult for you to find a comfortable hotel."

Shen Zheyu did not refuse and nodded.

After the two of them packed up the house, Shen Zheyu went out with his luggage.

Chen Keke was changing clothes at home, and Shen Zheyu was waiting in the corridor outside the door.

After waiting for a while, a young man came from the other end of the corridor.

The man was dressed very fashionably, with a floral shirt on top and flared jeans on the bottom. His hair was combed back into a big bun, and he had put a lot of grease on it, so it looked shiny.

The man was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand and walked to Chen Keke's door very narcissistically.

When passing by Shen Zheyu, he looked at him warily.

The man stared at Shen Zheyu with a bad look for a while, but he did not forget his business. He immediately put on a flattering expression and smoothed his neatly combed hair to make sure not a single hair was out of place.

After doing all this, he raised his hand and knocked on Chen Keke's door.

"Boom boom boom."

After three knocks, the door opened quickly.

Chen Keke changed into a green dress and wore a headband of the same color, looking playful and cute.

Tang Xiaopi's eyes lit up, and he was completely bewitched by Chen Keke.

With a very nervous look on his face, he quickly held the flower in his hands in front of Chen Keke and stammered, "Ke... Ke, this flower is very fresh. I give it to you."
