Chapter 11 Deliberately Let Her See
After Shuang Xu turned seventeen, Shen Yu moved out of the Shen family and lived alone.
After he moved out, he came back less and less often, and the frequency with which Shuang Xu saw him changed from every day to once a week.
Fu Yun said he was busy with work, but she was still very unhappy and rested her chin on the desk dejectedly during class.
Her best friend swore, "Your brother is already 25, he must have a girlfriend. It's not convenient for him to live at home, so he can bring women home to spend the night."
Shuang Xu said she was talking nonsense: "My brother doesn't have a girlfriend."
Anyway, every time she went to Shen Yu's place, she never saw any women.
She didn't believe it at the time, until later, when she hid in Shen Yu's apartment on his birthday to give him a surprise, and then she saw with her own eyes him kissing a woman.
To her, at that moment, it was no exaggeration to say that the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
She knew Shen Yu's door lock combination, which was the only one he used frequently. She used to go there every weekend, but she never went there again after that.
The car drove to the bottom of the apartment building, and Shuang Xu went upstairs carrying the thermos.
Shen Yu didn't know whether he had seen a doctor or not, and she didn't know whether he had any medicine at home, so she bought some when she passed by the pharmacy.
After ringing the doorbell, she waited for a while and the door opened. She first saw a head of chestnut brown curly hair, followed by a woman's delicate and beautiful face.
Shuang Xu was stunned, completely unprepared.
She was the star of the night. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she was still very beautiful. She was only wearing a men's shirt, with the wide hem covering her hips. Her legs were bare, and she was not even wearing slippers.
The female star held the door with one hand and looked her up and down with a slightly hostile gaze, as if she was some kind of competitor.
"Are you looking for Shen Yu? He hasn't woken up yet."
After a moment of stiffness, Shuang Xu found his voice again: "I'll bring some ginger soup to my brother."
"You are his sister."
Everyone around Shen Yu knew that he had a very beloved sister.
The female star's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. A trace of shame flashed across her face. She tugged at her deliberately messy hair, pulled up the collar of her shirt, and said in a gentle tone that even had a hint of flattery: "Wait a moment, I'll go call him."
Shuang Xu stood outside the door without moving: "No need, take it in."
She handed over the thermos and medicine, put her hands in her windbreaker pockets, turned around and left.
"Oh..." The female star looked at her back as she turned her head away, and realized that she had done something stupid this time. She had offended Shen Yu's family the first time they met.
Just as he was feeling frustrated, Shen Yu came out of the bedroom, his voice still hoarse from the high fever: "Who's here?"
"Your sister came to bring you ginger soup, but she left without coming in."
Shen Yu's eyes slid across the thermos and medicine bag in her hands and he paused slightly. He didn't know if it was her illusion, but his originally tired eyes and brows were slowly cooling down.
She was a little at a loss, and before she could react, Shen Yu had already passed by her, picked up his coat, opened the door and went out.
The elevator was a bit slow, or maybe not, but every second seemed extremely long to Shuang Xu.
When the door opened, she went in and turned around, and saw Shen Yu walking out.
She lowered her eyes and watched Shen Yu walk to the elevator door: "Brother."
Shen Yu's voice was a little hoarse, probably because of his cold: "Why didn't you call me when you came?"
"I'm afraid to disturb you." Shuang Xu said, "I still have to go to the hospital to see my senior."
"I send you."
"No, if you are sick, just rest for a while."
"It's just a cold." Shen Yu stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the next floor.
There was silence in the elevator. Shen Yu tilted his head to look at her. She was standing in the corner with her shoulders pressed against the wall, keeping the farthest distance from him.
Shen Yu drove the car himself today. On the way to take her to the hospital, Shuang Xu kept staring out the window in a daze.
Shen Yu spoke to her, but she didn't hear him until he called out again, "Xiao Jiu."
"Hmm?" Shuang Xu came to her senses and realized that they had arrived at the hospital. She opened the car door and got out, bending down and saying to him, "Brother, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."
Shen Yu didn't say anything, and looked at her with an ambiguous look. Shuang Xu was absent-minded and didn't pay attention to anything.
After a pause, Shen Yu said, "Come in."
She responded and hurried into the crowd of people coming and going in the hospital.
Shuang Xu felt like he was a person with a high fever. He was walking in the warm sunshine of April, but he felt cold all over his bones.
She knew that there was a woman beside Shen Yu.
But knowing it in your head is different from seeing it with your own eyes.
The former is a chronic, long-lasting dull pain, while the latter is a sharp, stabbing pain that wakes up the dull-witted and tears open bloody wounds in the paralyzed.
She knew clearly that Fu Yun had deliberately asked her to go today so that she could see it.
Why should I be so wary of her?
When he reached the bottom of the ward building, Shuang Xu suddenly came back to his senses and remembered that today was the day he had agreed to sign the contract with Yundun.
The joining of Cloud Shield will determine whether Feixue can come back to life. The side effects of chemotherapy are gradually subsiding, and Shu Yang has been feeling better in the past two days. In order to show Feixue's importance to this cooperation, she personally took Xiao Liao to Cloud Shield Group to sign the contract today, and was not in the hospital at all.
So she didn't go upstairs, but sat on the bench downstairs to bask in the sun.
With my eyes closed, the sunlight fell on my face and my limbs slowly warmed up.
Didn't you decide before returning home that you would put yourself in the right place and be an obedient sister? Why are you sad?
Frost sequence, Frost sequence, she warned herself in her heart.
You have no right to be sad.
Shu Yang and Yun Dun's treatment at Yun Dun was greatly improved this time. When they entered the door, someone greeted them and escorted them to the elevator.
Because He Tingzhou's meeting had not yet ended, the secretary invited them into the lounge and served them exquisite coffee and snacks.
And two pieces of blueberry mousse cake.
Shu Yang couldn't eat too much of this, so he took two bites and the rest went into Xiao Liao's stomach.
Xiao Liao grumbled as he ate: "This President He is really hard to deal with. He has a treacherous mind. He must have been a sinister and vicious tyrant in ancient times. If I give you a piece of cake now, you might cut my neck with a knife and take out the cake before I finish eating it."
Shu Yang: "Stop talking, I want to vomit."
Soon, the door of the adjacent conference room opened, and a group of men in suits walked out.
He Tingzhou, walking in the middle, stood out from the crowd. Among the ordinary high-rises, he looked like a refined layer from the world of comics.
Xiao Liao: "Wow, so handsome! He looks like my future husband!"
Shu Yang: "If you are not afraid of getting your neck choked, I have no objection."
Outside the glass door, He Tingzhou was originally listening to people talking casually. The secretary walked up to him and said something, and he looked into the lounge.
His gaze swept across the faces of both of them in turn, paused for a microsecond, and then retracted without any reaction.
Five minutes later, they sat face to face with He Tingzhou in the conference room.
He Tingzhou sat on a chair with his back to the window, his legs crossed, with a piece of black suit socks showing under his trousers.
The signing process went extremely smoothly, and he signed without even saying a word.
After receiving the freshly-issued contract, Shu Yang said a few polite words of thanks, appreciation, and pleasure in cooperation.
He Tingzhou closed the pen cap and asked casually, "Why didn't Song Shuangxu come?"
Xiao Liao's mood was as hopeful as the grass that had revived from the ashes, and he unintentionally revealed Shuang Xu's whereabouts:
"Our young boss went to give ginger soup to her brother."
