Chapter 181 Your brother is so fierce.

Shuang Xu never expected such a thing to happen. He was caught red-handed as soon as he got home.

She instinctively pulled He Tingzhou behind her, as if to hide him, her eyes showing obvious guilt: "Brother, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you to come back."

How could Shen Yu sleep well when she was still outside so late?

He could see that spot from his window, and he knew how long they had been hugging each other there.

I drove to my girlfriend's house 20 kilometers away in the middle of the night, and hugged her on the street for more than half an hour at two in the morning.

Shen Yu's calmness and composure are engraved in his bones. Even in his early twenties, he has never been passionate about a woman. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand that this kind of behavior with every word full of silliness is called love.

He didn't expect that Shuang Xu would bring He Tingzhou home.

She was never an overly rebellious child.

He Tingzhou stood behind Shuang Xu with a clear conscience: "Well, you must have waited for a long time."

Don't be too proud of that raised eyebrow.

Shen Yu glanced at him, his eyes sliding through his pajamas: "Are you sleepwalking? Running so far."

"Do I need an excuse like sleepwalking to come and see my girlfriend?" He Tingzhou said, "I came here because I missed her."

"You don't need to come." Shen Yu said calmly, "But if you come to our house in the middle of the night, you'd better have a reasonable reason."

He Tingzhou lowered his head and complained to Shuang Xu in a voice that seemed to be quiet but was actually just loud enough for Shen Yu to hear: "Your brother doesn't seem to welcome me very much."

"I brought him up here," Shuang Xu said. "It's already late. Can I let him stay at home for one night?"

There is no reason to chase her away now that she is here, let alone consider her mood.

Shen Yu said: "Tingzhou, please sleep in the guest room."

He Tingzhou didn't argue with him, and pinched Shuang Xu's sleeve with his fingers: "Can't I sleep with you?"

Shuang Xu said, "Brother, I want him to sleep in my room."

Of course Shen Yu would not agree: "It is not allowed for unmarried men and women to live in the same room at home, even if they are boyfriend and girlfriend."

Shuang Xu knew that it was against the rules, but the circumstances today were special. If it were any other time, she wouldn't have done something so out of line.

"Just for one night. We won't mess around."

Shen Yu didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings: "How often do you go home? You only came back for one night. Can't he leave you?"

"He suffers from insomnia. He can't sleep well without me."

"You mean, he never slept in the twenty-eight years before he met you?"

Shen Yu was rarely, or never, so strict with her, and Shuang Xu had never been so disobedient.

She was at a loss for words and couldn't find any rebuttal.

He Tingzhou: "Your brother is so fierce."

Shuang Xu nudged him gently with her arm to stop him from talking.

"The past is the past. In my eyes, his feelings are more important than those unwritten rules." She begged Shen Yu: "Brother, can you just pretend you didn't see it? I haven't made that wish on your birthday yet. Can I use it up now?"

Shen Yu always fulfilled all her wishes, but this time he felt uncomfortable.

At that time, he could never have imagined that she would use her wish in this way.

Shuang Xu held He Tingzhou's wrist and led him into the room. When she closed the door, she said to Shen Yu, "Good night, brother."

He Tingzhou waved to Shen Yu from behind her: "Good night."

Shen Yu: “…”

After the door was closed, he rubbed his forehead. He didn't know if the window was not closed properly, but he always felt that some wind was leaking in.

Shuang Xu's bedroom is a suite. She didn't take much with her when she moved out. This bedroom still retains traces of her growing up, her childhood and girlhood from the age of eight to seventeen.

White gauze curtains were hung on the ceiling, with light gauze hanging down. The bed sheets were prepared for her by Fu Yun. They were pink pure cotton trimmed with white lace. This princess-style bed was completely different from He Tingzhou's aura and style.

He lay on his side on the bed, resting his arm on it and looking at Shuang Xu. She left on the wall lamp and lay down facing him.

"Go to sleep." The light was quiet and soft, and she hummed a tune softly to coax him to sleep.

After all this trouble in the middle of the night, she was extremely sleepy. Soon her eyelids were drooping and she could only hum intermittently.

She forced herself to stay awake and coax him for a while. Only when she saw He Tingzhou close his eyes, his breathing became regular and he fell asleep did she fall asleep with peace of mind.

She didn't know that as soon as she fell asleep, He Tingzhou's eyes opened again.

The pair of clear black eyes stared at her silently without blinking. His fingers gently brushed aside the loose hair in front of her forehead, and his fingertips touched her brow, then slowly moved down along the shape of her brow bone and nose bridge.

He touched her lips, but she didn't wake up and continued sleeping soundly.

He Tingzhou didn't care about any damn rules. As long as Shuang Xu was willing, he wouldn't care how sharp the blade was even if Shen Yu put a knife to his neck.

Shuang Xu slept until dawn. Bright light slipped in through the gaps in the curtains. She was so sleepy that she reached out to turn off the alarm clock, turned over and lay on the quilt to wake herself up.

After a while, her mind gradually became clear and she remembered something. She opened her eyes and looked behind her, but there was no one beside her.

Where is He Tingzhou?

She got out of bed and ran into the bathroom to look around, but she didn't see him. The black pajamas she wore last night were thrown on the stool at the end of the bed.

Are you leaving?

She opened the curtains and looked out onto the road; his car was still parked there.

You won’t go downstairs, will you?

Oh no! She didn't have time to tell Fu Yun and Shen Changyuan.

Shuang Xu was startled and woke up immediately. He didn't even bother to wash his face. He hurriedly opened the door and ran out. He ran down the stairs in slippers and saw the lively conversation and laughter in the living room from a distance.

He Tingzhou had already changed into a formal suit, a white shirt and black pants, which was neat and tidy, making him look extremely proper and decent.

He was sitting on the sofa, with his long legs crossed, chatting with Shen Changyuan about the vector jet technology and stealth coating of the attack aircraft - men are always particularly interested in these things.

Fu Yun was smiling beside him, and Shen Yu was drinking coffee calmly and leisurely. Everything seemed normal and harmonious.

Shuang Xu went downstairs hurriedly and hurriedly. The sound of her thudding footsteps made several people in the living room turn their heads.

Her long hair was a little messy and she looked confused and had no idea what was going on.

Fu Yun saw her stunned look and laughed, "Look at you, you're still confused. You didn't know Tingzhou was here. Your brother said Tingzhou passed by here last night on business, and his car ran out of gas, so he let him stay here for one night."

How could Shuang Xu not know? She didn't expect Shen Yu to cover it up for her.

There is a fundamental difference between her bringing a man back without saying hello and Shen Yu inviting a close friend to stay at home.

She looked at Shen Yu, and Shen Yu looked normal.

She looked at He Tingzhou again. He was holding a cup of tea leisurely and greeted her sanctimoniously: "Good morning."

"...Good morning." Shuang Xu smoothed her hair, not knowing what to say for a moment, "Then...I'll go back and change my clothes."

After washing and changing her clothes, she went downstairs to have breakfast.

Fu Yun served He Tingzhou a bowl of pear soup: "The weather has been quite dry recently. Your uncle has started coughing. You young people should also pay more attention."

Shuang Xu brought Shen Yu a bowl of soup and took the opportunity to whisper to him, "Thank you, brother."

Shen Yu didn't say anything. I wonder if he was still angry about her "rebellion" last night.

Wansui stayed in the yard. Mrs. Wang stewed some delicious pork bones for it. After it ate and drank its fill, it tilted its head and stared at the white munia squatting on the stand.

That was Shen Changyuan's new bird. It was very quiet and didn't make much noise. It and Wansui stared at each other as if they were having a spiritual communication. After a while, it flew down and landed on Wansui's head.

At the dinner table, Shen Changyuan asked, "The commander is attending a meeting in Hawaii recently. It seems that the meeting is about to end. Is it time for him to come back?"

He Tingzhou didn't care about his father's movements at all. He could go back or not, but when Shen Changyuan asked him, he still answered: "He can go back. If you want to see him, I'll ask him to come back."

Shuang Xu found it strange. It was difficult for anyone to see the Air Force Commander, but in the mouth of his son it seemed as if he was always available.

"Then there's no need to bother him to make a special trip." Shen Changyuan said, "Thanks to you for coming to the Zheng family to help us out last time. There's a lot of gossip outside now. He will definitely hear something when he comes back. I'm worried that he will blame you. If he returns to Yancheng, I want to explain it to him in person. If he doesn't come back, I'll call him to express my gratitude."

Breaking into Zheng's house and robbing people is, at best, an offense; at worst, it's provoking a war between the two families.

He did this to protect Shuangxu, so Shen Changyuan naturally didn't want him to be blamed for it. As an elder, he came forward to explain the whole story and accept this favor. Even if the commander was furious, he would be lenient.

He Tingzhou didn't care: "Why thank him? He didn't contribute anything. Just thank me."

He held the white porcelain spoon and drank a sip of pear soup: "This soup is good. Take it as a thank you gift."
