Chapter 121 Is your brother next to you?

After a long separation, seeing the coach who was attentive and loving to her, Shuangxu felt unusually cheerful and said, "Coach, do you think I wasn't pretty when I was a kid?"

The coach laughed and said, "You stinky kid, look pretty, okay?"

"Our Shuang Xu has been pretty since she was young." Fu Yun has always been proud of this.

While eating, Shen Yu came back.

There were crabs on the table. He washed his hands, put on gloves and started to handle the crabs.

His technique of cutting crabs is extremely skillful, and his elegance is ingrained in his nature, so every move is a pleasure to watch.

Shuang Xu was immersed in the conversation with Coach Qin. The coach hadn't seen her for a long time, so he could observe the changes in her more objectively.

"Shuang Xu's personality is really different from before. She looks much more stable now, like an adult. She used to be a little girl, lively and clever, sometimes naughty. She liked to hide in the water and scare her brother when he wasn't paying attention. She even scared the wrong person once."

Speaking of this, Fu Yun couldn't help but laugh: "That's right. Tingzhou was scared."

Shuang Xu had some impression of this incident.

That was the time when she was most interested in swimming. Shen Yu expanded the swimming pool at home for her, and her coach helped her sign up for youth swimming competitions. She spent all her spare time on training.

Although it is her own interest, it becomes boring after practicing for a long time. When the urge strikes, she will hold her breath and dive into the water. When Shen Yu passes by the swimming pool, she will pop up mischievously to scare him.

One time, she was hiding at the side of the swimming pool and saw a tall and thin figure on the shore from the water. She used the same trick again, suddenly emerged from the water and grabbed his pants and legs.

When she saw that it was a strange face, she was stunned. Shen Yu came towards her from behind. She realized that she had recognized the wrong person. She let go of him embarrassedly and quickly buried herself in the water again.

Shen Yu smiled and explained to the man: "My sister. She is shy."

When she was hiding in the water, she could still see the man's lowered eyes through the clear and rippling water. They were faint and like a sharp knife, both sharp and unfathomable.

That was the first time Shuang Xu met He Tingzhou, and her first impression of him was: cold and dangerous.

And, it seemed that his prank had offended him.

So she has always been a little afraid of him.

"Tingzhou isn't easily frightened." The processed crab meat and crab roe were neatly placed on a plate. Shen Yu placed the plate in front of Shuang Xu, "Eat something before we talk."

Coach Qin didn't realize that he was trying to end the topic quietly, so he continued, "The one from the He family? I remember he was also here on the day of the Frost Sequence competition."

Fu Yun said: "At that time, he was close to A Yu and often came to visit our home."

Everyone in Yancheng knew the He family. They were at the top of the pyramid among the wealthy families. Coach Qin asked, "Is he married?"

"It's not clear yet." Fu Yun said, "Tingzhou is a handsome man, tall and handsome. I don't know how many girls he can charm. The commander has only one son, so he must make plans for him."

Shuang Xu lowered his head to eat crab roe, ignoring their idle chatter.

Coach Qin suddenly had an idea: "He is close to your Ah Yu, so why don't you let Shuang Xu have a try with him?"

This made the other three people at the table stunned.

The crab roe in Shuangxu's spoon spilled onto the plate. She put down the spoon with all her might so as not to let others notice anything unusual.

"Coach, stop kidding me."

"Are you shy?" Coach Qin said with a smile, "I'm serious. I'm not making fun of you."

She then said to Fu Yun, "Director Song doesn't care about Shuang Xu at all. He only cares about his own official position. I will remember him forever for not allowing Shuang Xu to participate in the competition. Shuang Xu won the championship, which is such an honor. It will also bring honor to the family. He doesn't want Shuang Xu to appear in public because he thinks it is embarrassing. That's because he feels guilty! I don't think he will bother to find a good marriage for Shuang Xu. You have to worry about this for her."

Fu Yun really hadn't thought about it this way. After a moment's pause, she said, "The He family is good, but Tingzhou's personality is unpredictable. I haven't heard that he has ever had a serious girlfriend, so I guess he doesn't want to settle down yet. In terms of family background, we are marrying up. He helped a lot in the long time ago and has done a favor to our family. If we rush to get married, it would seem like we are clinging to him."

Coach Qin: "We should strengthen our relationship with those who have done us a favor."

Shen Yu wiped his hands with a towel and interrupted calmly: "I don't have such plans."

He raised Shuang Xu and always took care of her like a guardian, otherwise he would not have specially invited her to be his guest and reminisce with Shuang Xu.

Coach Qin only mentioned it casually, and knowing that he didn't like this topic, he tactfully stopped talking about it.

After dinner, Coach Qin talked to Shuang Xu for a long time, and it was already very late when he left the Shen family.

Shuang Xu felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, and when she returned to her room she found that her period had come early.

Shen Yu went to the courtyard to smoke a cigarette, and when he came back, he saw Fu Yun talking to the servant.

"Crabs are too cold. She shouldn't have been allowed to eat so much for dinner."

"What's wrong?" Shen Yu walked over and asked.

"Shuang Xu has a severe stomachache." Fu Yun walked towards the kitchen, "I'll make her some ginger and jujube tea."

Shuang Xu had not expected that the two crabs could cause her aunt to catch a cold. She had abdominal cramps and curled up in bed wrapped in a quilt to rest.

There was a knock on the door, and she answered "Come in", and it was Shen Yu who came in.

He brought a cup of hot brown sugar ginger date tea: "Drink something hot."

Shuang Xu sat up, put a heat-proof cup cover in the cup, and drank the boiling ginger and jujube tea in small sips. After drinking a cup of hot tea, she began to sweat.

Her face turned pale. Shen Yu took the empty cup away and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief: "Take a painkiller. Don't force yourself."

After taking the medicine, Shuang Xu lay back down wrapped in the quilt. Shen Yu turned up the air conditioner in her room.

The phone on the bedside table rang. Shen Yu scanned the screen. The caller was Tingting.

Shuang Xu saw that Shen Yu had seen it, and pursed his lips. It was really like adding insult to injury.

She couldn't hang up He Tingzhou's phone, but answering it in front of Shen Yu, how was it different from stealing something at the door of a police station?

When she was in a dilemma, Shen Yu asked: "Are you not going to answer your friend's call?"

Shuang Xu could only answer the phone and hold it close to his ear to prevent any sound from leaking out.

She gritted her teeth and called out, "Tingting."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then He Tingzhou's casual voice came over: "Shuangshuang, why are you calling me so intimately?"

"… Are you calling me for something?"

Perhaps her pretentious tone was too obvious, and He Tingzhou was like a sharp eagle.

"Is your brother next to you?"
