Chapter 101 Either you or me, either me or you

There was no one else in the living room. Shen Yu leaned over, gently carried Shuang Xu to the sofa, and covered her with the blanket again.

She moved as if she was about to wake up. Shen Yu gently brushed away the hair that had fallen on her face with his fingers: "Go to sleep."

Mrs. Yue and Fu Yun stood at the corner of the stairs, watching the scene.

Mrs. Yue suddenly said, "You should be more open-minded. Shuang Xu grew up in front of you. You know how good her character is. She is also filial to you. You can't find any fault with her."

She and Fu Yun were good friends who could talk about anything. She knew all about the pressure Fu Yun was under when rumors were flying everywhere.

"It doesn't matter what other people say. It won't make me lose a single pound of flesh."

Fu Yun looked at them with mixed feelings.

After experiencing ups and downs, the stone that once weighed on my heart seems to have become lighter.

The marriage with the Lu family was good in every aspect, but unfortunately it didn't work out in the end. After all the twists and turns, it was still the brother and sister who supported each other.

But even if she was asked to support him, she still couldn't get over it in her heart. She really treated Shuang Xu as her daughter. In her eyes, Shuang Xu and Shen Yu were really brother and sister.

Mrs. Yue said, "If you really don't want it, then I will ask for it on behalf of our son. I really want Shuang Xu to be my daughter-in-law."

Fu Yun immediately refused: "Your family's Zi Feng is a playboy. He has had enough girlfriends to fill a truck."

Mrs. Yue spoke well of her son: "Our Zifeng was a little unreasonable before, but you can see how good he is to Shuangxu. He will definitely love her after they get married."

As a younger generation, Fu Yun liked Yue Zifeng very much, but if he became a son-in-law, she would totally disagree.

"No matter how much you love her, can you love her as much as Ah Yu does? Don't mess around with me. Zifeng is not suitable for her."

"Then what do you think of Zuo Zhong? We know each other well. Zuo Zhong has a stable personality and is much more reliable than our Zi Feng."

Fu Yun hesitated: "Zuo Zhong is calm, but a little too boring. Shuang Xu is not as close to him as Zi Feng."

"After all, your A-Yu is the best. Who else can treat Shuang Xu better than him?" Mrs. Yue has an open-minded personality and a strong ability to accept things. "I think you should just help them get together."

After a long while, Fu Yun sighed and said, "Forget it. I won't interfere in their affairs. Let them do whatever they want."

Shuang Xu woke up and saw Shen Yu sitting next to her.

She sat up dazedly: "Brother."

"Why are you so sleepy?" Shen Yu asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

She didn't dare to tell the truth, and avoided his gaze by rubbing her eyes: "I stayed up late playing games last night."

After dinner at Yue's house, Shen Yu drove her back to No. 9 Songming Road. When she got out of the car, Shen Yu glanced up.

“Why are the lights on in the house?”

Shuang Xu's heart skipped a beat: "I forgot to turn it off this morning."

Fortunately, Shen Yu did not suspect anything and told her, "Don't stay up late, get some rest."

She nodded, watched him drive away, then turned and went upstairs.

As I walked to the door, it opened from the inside. He Tingzhou was standing at the door in slippers. The lights in the house were on.

"Where did you go?" he asked.

"Aunt Yue is not feeling well, so I went to Brother Zifeng's house to see her."

Shuang Xu walked in, put down her bag, and changed her shoes. He Tingzhou closed the door, pulled her into his arms, and leaned his tall body against her.

She didn't refuse and took the initiative to put her arms around his waist.

After they finished, lying on the bed, He Tingzhou hugged her from behind as usual, and a light kiss fell on her shoulder.

Shuang Xu took advantage of his good mood and turned around to ask him, "Do you have anything to do tomorrow night?"

He Tingzhou's backlit eyes held an obvious smile: "What's wrong, do you want me to come back soon?"

"No, I'm asking if you want to go to Brother Zuo Zhong's place." Shuang Xu said, "He has moved, right? There will be a party at his house tomorrow. If you go, I won't go."

Zuo Zhong, like Yue Zifeng, treated her as his own sister. She didn't want to deliberately make excuses for not going when she clearly had time. If He Tingzhou didn't have time to go, that would be perfect.

He Tingzhou glanced at her, and the tenderness in his eyes flowed away from some invisible source like flowing water: "His house is so small, how can it accommodate one more person?"

"If we go together, we'll be exposed."

Apart from Yue Zifeng, who among that group is not smarter than Lu Manman?

"So what?" He Tingzhou's expression and voice seemed to have been diluted with a ton of water, so bland that there was no flavor at all. "From now on, in all occasions in Yancheng, it will either be you or me?"

This is true, but their relationship will not last forever, and avoiding suspicion is only temporary.

Hearing that he was unwilling to cooperate, Shuang Xu said nothing more: "It's okay."

He Tingzhou's interest was obviously dampened by her. He removed his hand from her waist and let her go.

He put on his pants, got out of bed and left the bedroom. Shuang Xu sent a WeChat message to Zuo Zhong, saying that something happened at his company and he might not be able to come over that night.

After sending it, she went to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, He Tingzhou was not there.

She changed the bed sheets, lay down on the bed, picked up a new storybook, and read three stories. He Tingzhou still hadn't come back.

She realized something, opened the bedroom door and walked out. There was no one around and it was quiet. She didn't know when he had left.

Shuang Xu stood in the empty living room for a moment, then went back to the bedroom and received a new message on his phone.

Yue Zifeng tagged her in the group: [Sister, you are not coming tomorrow? ]

She had just finished explaining when He Tingzhou, who had not participated in group chats for many years, popped up.

H: [Maybe Zuo Zhong’s face is not big enough]

Frost Preface: “…”

It would be fine if you didn't cooperate, but why did you even try to cause trouble?

Yue Zifeng immediately responded in a teasing tone: [It seems that I still have a greater weight in my sister's heart. Zuo Zhong, reflect on yourself and see if you are not good enough to your sister.]

Zuo Zhong: [……]

Shuang Xu hurriedly said: [Brother Zuo Zhong, don't listen to him trying to sow discord between us. I have prepared a gift for you to move, and I asked my brother to bring it to you.]

Yue Zifeng: [I'm moving anyway, no matter how busy my sister is, she will definitely find time to come]

Yue Zifeng: [Sister, it's okay. Your brother Zuo Zhong is very broad-minded and won't get angry just because he is not important.]

"..."Shuang Xu wanted to go across the screen and hit him.

Zuo Zhong: [I’m sad, sister. We won’t be finished for a while. Can’t you come over and play for a while after you’re done?]

Everyone in this group has his or her own business. Her little tricks are not even worthy of their attention. It is not appropriate for her to pretend to be a busy person.

Shuang Xu collapsed on the bed, sighed towards the ceiling, and retyped: [Okay, I'll be there when I'm done]
