Chapter 147 Expired

Look, you're talking nonsense again.

He always talks nonsense, and sometimes it's hard to tell which of his words are true and which are just a joke.

He would pretend to be a landlubber and drown to trick her into saving him, but he probably wouldn't bother lying to her about this kind of thing.

Is this really your first time?

This was completely different from Shuang Xu's perception of him. Rather than being a "28-year-old virgin with gecko sand", he looked more like a playboy leisurely strolling among a sea of ​​flowers.

With so many women "coveting" him, who would believe that the Crown Prince hasn't slept with any of them?

She is 22 years old, so it is understandable that she has never been in love, but what is his secret to still being a virgin at 28?

Moreover, he looked very comfortable in bed and didn't seem to be inexperienced.

Shuang Xu was secretly recalling the first day, wondering if he had done anything wrong, when He Tingzhou's leisurely voice came down from above her head: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm not thinking about anything." Shuang Xu looked forward.

He Tingzhou looked at her profile and said meaningfully, "I'm not thinking about anything. Why are your ears red?"

Shuang Xu immediately raised his hand and touched it.

Is it popular? No, right?

He Tingzhou flicked her temple with his finger, as if to flick away those impure images in her mind. He pretended to be polite at this time, and said sanctimoniously: "Don't think about it. In this wilderness, if you push me down on the grass, with the sky as my blanket and the ground as my bed, how can I live as a human being when I go back?"

“…”

Shuang Xu couldn't hold back his speechless smile: "You're dreaming."

He Tingzhou also laughed, and the way he held the reins just encircled Shuangxu in his broad chest. The horses were strolling on the grass, and the wind was clear.

He said in the breeze that smelled of green grass, "I didn't lie to you."

Shuang Xu knew what he was talking about: "Oh."

The mountain wind blew across his cheeks, taking away the unexpected doubts. Frost's mood was like the wilderness, clear, vast and boundless.

She likes to be unique.

"I don't have an ex-boyfriend either," she said.

He Tingzhou lowered his head and touched her earlobe with his lips: "I knew it a long time ago. Idiot, you can't even lie."

“…”

On the second floor of the club, Shen Yu stood in front of the window. When the sun was about to set, the black horse slowly came back from the distance, carrying the two of them.

Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou were riding on the same horse. It was unknown what he said, which made Shuang Xu embarrassed and hit him with her arm. He did not dodge, but took it with a smile. When Shuang Xu finished hitting him and turned around, there was clearly a cheerful smile between his eyebrows.

She was very happy today. When He Tingzhou took her to jump over the water barrier on horseback, her bright smile almost overshadowed the dazzling sun. Shen Yu hadn't seen her smile so happily for a long time.

Someone patted his shoulder, and Shen Yu turned around to look at Yue Zifeng who was walking up to him.

Yue Zifeng handed him a cocktail and Shen Yu reached out to take it. Yue Zifeng stood beside him and looked at the couple below with him.

These two have lost all scruples since their crimes were exposed last night. They are so disgusting that it is unbearable to watch them.

Who could have imagined that the crazy He Tingzhou would be like this when it comes to love.

"Have you told Tingzhou that you like your sister?" Yue Zifeng asked.

Shen Yu took a sip of the Tequila Sunset. The lemon juice and pomegranate syrup formed a beautiful color, just like the afterglow of the sunset outside the window.

But today, this romantic sunset does not belong to him.

Perhaps it was because the pomegranate syrup lacked flavor; he tasted the sourness of the lemon and the spiciness of the tequila, but no sweetness at all.

Shen Yu said: "He saw it."

"I said he was so weird to you." Yue Zifeng said with a sigh. He Tingzhou usually doesn't care about anything because he doesn't care about those things. But when it comes to the things he cares about, he is very sharp.

Yue Zifeng was caught in the middle, feeling extremely complicated. He had never felt so bad even when his parents were arguing.

Logically speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him, but these two were his friends, and there was a sister between them, so he couldn't just sit back and watch the fun.

His friendship with Shen Yu since childhood is deeper than his friendship with He Tingzhou. He certainly doesn't want to see Shen Yu in pain, but there are some things that cannot be helped.

In the past, Yue Zifeng didn't know and didn't believe that Shuang Xu really had such feelings for Shen Yu. Now think about it, when she looks at the woman beside Shen Yu and sees him discussing marriage with Lu Manman, how can she feel good?

Yue Zifeng wanted to slap himself when he thought about how he had arranged for her to give him the ring at the engagement ceremony. Wasn't that like stabbing his sister in the heart?

"Honestly, if your sister still likes you now, then you'd be against the whole world. If you insist on being with her, I'll grit my teeth and support you. But she has moved on, and you have to admit that you've missed your chance." Yue Zifeng said, "You never told her that you like her, didn't you just want to be a good brother and sister with her? Shen Yu, you have to accept this."

Shen Yu's knuckles turned white as he held the wine glass. Yue Zifeng couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, he could only see his silent expression.

After a long while, Shen Yu raised his head and drank the glass of sour, bitter and spicy wine, and said, "Your bartending skills are very average."

“How could you actually drink it?” Yue Zifeng himself could hardly swallow it, “This pomegranate syrup must be expired.”

The speaker didn't mean it, but to Shen Yu it sounded like a hint.

His kindness to Shuang Xu is probably like this bottle of pomegranate syrup, which has passed its expiration date and is no longer worth tasting.

He Tingzhou dismounted and handed the handbag to Shuang Xu. She held his hand and jumped off the horse. When she looked up, Shen Yu was standing on the steps looking at them.

Shuang Xu was a little thirsty. After entering, Shen Yu poured her a glass of water.

She took it and drank the whole cup in one gulp. When she put the cup down, Shen Yu asked her, "Did you have fun today?"

Shuang Xu nodded: "Happy."

After she finished speaking, He Tingzhou came over from behind and inserted himself between her and Shen Yu in a leisurely but yet scheming manner.

He picked up the cold water bottle, filled the cup that Shuangxu had just used with water, then held it up and fed it to Shuangxu's mouth very naturally: "Do you want more?"

"I don't want to drink anymore." said Shuang Xu.

He turned his wrist, brought the cup to his mouth, took a sip, and answered Shen Yu without being asked, "Don't ask me. I'm happy too."

Shen Yu said calmly: "As long as you are happy."

In the evening, when returning to the city from the racecourse, He Tingzhou and Shen Yu drove one after the other.

He Tingzhou opened the passenger door, and before Shuang Xu got in, he turned around to look at Shen Yu in the back and said to him, "Brother, I'm leaving now."

Shen Yu stood in the night, a faint smile on his lips: "Be careful on the road."

In the past two days, Shuang Xu has not had the opportunity to have a formal, private chat with him about her and He Tingzhou.

But on second thought, I feel that there is actually no need for that.

There is no need to let him know that I liked Shen Yu, no matter in the past or now.

Her past sorrows and losses, her persistence and letting go, were all her own practice from beginning to end.

Only by crossing that hurdle and unloading the burden that you cannot carry can you embark on a new journey.

From now on, he will still be her most trusted brother and she will be his beloved sister. All she needs to tell him is that the person she likes is called He Tingzhou.

She looked at Shen Yu for no more than two or three seconds before He Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, hung his wrist on the car door, and stared at her with a dark, strong gaze.

Shuang Xu smiled, waved goodbye to everyone else, and got in the car.

He Tingzhou closed the car door, and in the rearview mirror, Shen Yu's figure gradually became smaller until it disappeared.
