Chapter 139 I Like Xiaojiu

Shen Yu saw her resolute and determined eyes, and saw her instinctive protection for He Tingzhou.

He never thought that there would come a day when she would stand against him for another man.

"When did it happen?" Shen Yu asked, "When did you start to like him?"

When did you start to like Kamiga Tingzhou? Shuang Xu really couldn't answer this question.

"Xiaojiu, gratitude and liking are not the same thing." Shen Yu's gentle tone was like coaxing a lost child, "If Tingzhou hadn't helped our family, would you like him?"

Shuang Xu's eyes were honest and serious: "Brother, I know what gratitude is and what liking is. If you ask me when I started liking him, I can't tell you the exact moment. Liking someone is accumulated from one heart-thumping moment after another."

"Maybe it was the time we spent together, maybe it was the time he showed up whenever I needed him, or maybe it was the sound of rain we listened to together in the cave at Dongyu Mountain that night while hiding under the same coat."

She said: "It doesn't matter when it started, I know I like him now."

Her voice was like a soft yet sharp dagger, piercing into an unspeakable place in Shen Yu's heart and leaving a gap.

The fingers hanging at his sides curled up slightly. Perhaps it was not until this moment, when he heard her personally admit her feelings for He Tingzhou, that he truly realized what he had lost.

After Shuang Xu finished speaking, he felt his fingers being held.

First, the slightly rough lines on the fingertips slowly slid up to the back of her hand, and then wrapped her entire hand in the palm of her hand.

She turned around and met He Tingzhou's lowered eyes.

He stared at her without blinking, with the lake reflected in her. Frost Xu had never seen such a gentle color in his sharp eyes.

This made her suddenly feel a little embarrassed about what she had just said.

He Tingzhou gently pinched her fingertips and said, "Look, you didn't tell me this in private, but had to say it in front of your brother. I almost blushed when he heard it."

Frost Preface: “…”

You will blush because the sun is blue.

He Tingzhou raised his head again, his eyebrows slightly raised, each revealing happiness and pride, and he glanced at Shen Yu lazily: "Have you finished asking? Are you satisfied with this answer? If you are satisfied, please avoid it. If you are not satisfied, please avoid it first. I want to kiss her, but I am afraid you can't stand this stimulation."

Shen Yu, who was in a complicated mood: "..."

Frost Xu was so annoyed that he wanted to hit him with his arm again, but unfortunately his hand was held by his, so all the force was released in his hand. So he stepped on his foot.

Could you please stop talking nonsense?!

He Tingzhou hissed coquettishly, "You hit me in front of your brother. You can't control your love for me at all, right?"

“…………”

"There they are!"

When Yue Zifeng's gang came, Shen Yu turned around and stood facing the lake.

I don't know if it was because he couldn't stand the two people's affectionate little actions, or because he didn't want others to see the dark expression on his face.

Shuang Xu reflexively tried to pull her hand away, but He Tingzhou tightened his fingers and held her tightly.

A large group of people came running over. Yue Zifeng was so tired that he bent over and supported his legs, panting like a cow.

The group of people at the back looked at He Tingzhou and Shuang Xu's clasped hands, looked at their faces, and then turned in unison to look at Shen Yu's back.

Every single person's face had "What the hell?!" written on it.

The two of them didn't fight, and Yue Zifeng finally felt relieved.

"It's good to talk it out." This matter obviously had nothing to do with him, but he was still frightened. It was like finally taking off a big burden, and he felt relieved.

"Let's go, let's go back and cut the cake!"

He called everyone back to celebrate He Tingzhou's birthday, which had been delayed for half an hour. Shen Yu said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette, you guys go back first."

Yue Zifeng looked at him and waved his hand to let everyone go first.

Shuang Xu knew that Shen Yu must still be angry. No matter what, it was her fault to hide it from him.

Yue Zifeng comforted her: "It's okay, I'll help you persuade her."

After everyone left, Yue Zifeng stood next to Shen Yu and looked at the ducks in the distance with him.

Shen Yu lit a cigarette: "When did you know?"

"Not a few days earlier than you. Last time I went to borrow a dog, I happened to see my sister at his place..." Yue Zifeng was halfway through his words when he caught his gaze and realized he had let something slip. He paused and hurriedly explained, "I really didn't mean to lie to you! Think about it, if I said this and they told you in person, how could it be the same thing?"

Shen Yu said: "You knew how much I cared about Xiaojiu, yet you helped him hide it from me."

Yue Zifeng complained: "I swear to God, I am definitely not helping him. I am just afraid that you two will fight. If you two fight, how difficult it will be for my sister to be caught in the middle?"

Shen Yu knew that the responsibility for this matter was not his. He looked into the distance and did not continue to blame him.

Yue Zifeng comforted her from the perspective of a brother: "I understand you. You must feel bad that your sweet daughter has been taken away by someone else. But think about it from another perspective. This person is Tingzhou, who is definitely better than others. We are all friends and know each other well. This is a good thing, isn't it?"

"Tingzhou, you still don't believe him? No matter how much he has been doing, have you ever seen him care so much about a woman? I think he really likes my sister. As a brother, what we want is someone who is not after fame or money, and treats them sincerely, right? As long as my sister is happy, isn't that enough?"

A playboy like Yue Zifeng knows best that a relationship doesn't necessarily mean it will last until the end. Of course, from a man's perspective he thinks this is natural, but it's different from a brother's perspective.

Whoever dares to betray my sister, I will kill him!

But protectiveness is protectiveness, and they all know that it is impossible to keep their sister under their wings forever and prevent her from falling in love.

"Let's take a step back and say that if he really lets his sister down one day, won't we still be there? I know what you're worried about. His status is there, and the commander has always tolerated him. He's even more of a jerk than Zheng Zuye, and he doesn't care about anyone. He's much harder to deal with than Zheng Zuye. But if we go together, how can we not beat him up?"

Shen Yu was smoking a cigarette, his face reflected by the dark lake light, making it difficult to discern his emotions.

The smoke drifted away desolately in the wind, and he never said a word.

"But what Tingzhou did was really unfair. He shouldn't have kept it from you. You have reason to be angry. If you can't do it, just beat him up. I'll help you hold his hand. When you calm down, let's get back to our relationship. Don't let it affect our relationship."

After saying this, Yue Zifeng patted his shoulder and turned around to leave.

Shen Yu's voice floated from behind: "Zifeng, I can't help him. I like Xiaojiu."

Yue Zifeng stopped in his tracks and turned back suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it. He tried to explain for him, "Well, you said that I like my sister too. Who doesn't like their own sister?"

Shen Yu: "You understand what I mean."

Yue Zifeng fell silent.

After a long time, he finally retracted his eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets, put one hand on his waist and the other on his chin, and walked back and forth anxiously.

"No...you...are you crazy or am I crazy? Are you mad at Tingzhou? You...what the hell! How can you like your sister? She's your sister! You raised her with your own hands, have you forgotten?"

How could Shen Yu forget.

Because of this, it became a secret that he could never tell anyone.
