Chapter 222 Follow Me Home

Shuangxu helped He Tingzhou wipe his left hand. When he put down the towel, He Tingzhou said, "Everyone is here, let's eat."

"Eat, eat." Yue Zifeng shouted, "I'm already hungry. Just putting a collar on your dog makes me tired."

Shuang Xu wanted to laugh when he thought of the pink bow tie on Wan Sui Hei's neck: "You should try changing the color next time."

The food has been placed on the table. Everyone walks to the table together, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere is just right.

Shuang Xu turned around and called Shen Yu: "Brother, come and have dinner."

Her eyes were clear and her spirit was bright. These days had been full of twists and turns, and Shu Yang's illness also made her worried. It was with great difficulty that she finally felt better.

Forget it. Shen Yu thought, today is her birthday, let her celebrate her birthday happily first.

He walked towards the restaurant. The two people in front of him were chatting with their arms around each other.

"This is my first time coming to this place, Master Zhou."

"If it weren't for my sister, you would never have had the chance to come here in your life."

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be so romantic. Did you see the rose pool in the yard? He's being so dreamy, is he proposing to me?"

"You finally guessed it? Didn't you see the formal suit that Master Zhou wore today? When have you ever seen him wearing a formal suit?"

Shen Yu paused slightly and looked outside through the French window in the living room.

There were also many decorations outdoors, with a rose waterfall flowing down the wall and covering the swimming pool. There were no lights on in the yard, and a dark shadow could be seen in the distance on the lawn. It was a little dark, so it was hard to see clearly. After careful identification, I found that there was a helicopter parked there.

The path leading to the courtyard was lined with densely packed candles without flames, which had not yet been lit.

Shen Yu looked at the magnificent scenes that had yet to unfold. Perhaps today was more than just celebrating Shuang Xu's birthday.

There was a long dining table with a clean, white, and smooth tablecloth. The center was filled with flowers and candles. The candlelight flickered gently, and the tableware reflected the bright light.

Shen Yu sat down, his eyes sweeping across the table inconspicuously.

Shuang Xu took care of He Tingzhou very naturally. He enjoyed it as a matter of course. He put his right arm on the back of her chair and even asked her to help him pick up food.

The fish had to be deboned, the meat had to be skewered, and the salad dressing had to be prepared for him.

Shen Yu used to do these things for her, but now she is doing them for others.

His gaze stayed on her for a long time. He Tingzhou slowly raised his eyelids and said lazily, "You've been staring at me for a long time. How come you suddenly fell in love with me?"

Shen Yu's calm gaze was unfathomable: "I remember your right hand was not injured."

He Tingzhou's lips curled up slightly, and he said arrogantly, "Yes. Are you not used to it?"

"I can't stand it!" Yue Zifeng simply couldn't stand it anymore, "I said, is that thing under your right arm just for show? You're injured and can't take care of yourself. You're an old man and you still need someone to take care of you when you eat. Only your sister pampers you."

This attack had no killing power on He Tingzhou. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I have someone who favors me. Do you have any opinion?"

Yue Zifeng: “…”

Shuang Xu explained: "He also has to hold the fork in his right hand, and it's inconvenient to use one hand."

"Sister, you are just a liar," Yue Zifeng said, "If you were not here today, he could have split a brick with his left hand."

The waiter brought the mutton soup, and Zuo Zhong quickly brought a portion to He Tingzhou, interrupting their elementary school students' bickering: "The mutton soup is good, Tingzhou, try it."

Before He Tingzhou could say anything, Shuang Xu said skillfully, "His wound hasn't healed yet, so he can't eat irritating foods."

He Tingzhou's eyes curved deeper, and he leaned back in his chair leisurely: "I'll listen to you, wife."

"..." Zuo Zhong's hand silently turned and gave the soup to Yue Zifeng.

Shuang Xu almost bit his tongue.

She gently kicked He Tingzhou under the table and warned him softly, "Don't scream."

Someone next to him smiled ambiguously: "It's only a matter of time."

"Zifeng, why are you competing with Master Zhou? When he marries his sister, maybe you can be his partner..."

Lu Manman grabbed the baguette and blocked the man's mouth: "You are the one who talks too much, just eat yours!"

Shuang Xu didn't have time to catch the hidden meaning in their words. With a light "tap", Shen Yu put down his chopsticks.

"Xiaojiu, come with me."

Although his tone was gentle, it was a bit strange to suddenly call Shuang Xu away at such a happy moment.

The people who were chatting and eating nearby looked over. Shuang Xu raised her head and saw the calm expression on Shen Yu's face. She realized belatedly that he was acting abnormally today.

He doesn't seem very happy today. He hasn't smiled or said a word since he came here.

Yue Zifeng asked: "What did you want to tell your sister?"

Shen Yu said nothing and left the table.

When he first came, he seemed to have something to say to her, but was interrupted by the fallen water cup.

Shuang Xu stood up and tried to follow him, but He Tingzhou grabbed her wrist and said in a light tone, but the force of his fingertips was strong: "You haven't even finished your meal, where are you going?"

"My brother seems to have something to tell me." Shen Yu looked a little serious today. Shuang Xu didn't know what happened and was worried. "I'll go check it out."

She followed Shen Yu out. He Tingzhou's eyes dimmed in an instant and his eyes followed her back.

Others also stretched their heads to look, and the restaurant became quiet for a while.

"Eat, what are you looking at?" Yue Zifeng didn't care. As long as Shen Yu loved his sister very much, what could happen?

Shen Yu walked out of the villa and stood in the front yard. From here he could neither see the lawn behind the house nor hear the talking and laughing inside the house.

Shuang Xu walked up to him, he turned around, his eyes slowly fell on her, looking at her with ambiguous meaning.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yu said: "Xiaojiu, you seem to be hiding a lot of things from me."

Shuang Xu was puzzled: "I'm hiding nothing from you."

Shen Yu asked her: "When did you and Tingzhou get together?"

Frost is silent.

She was with He Tingzhou when Shen Changyuan got into trouble. Did Shen Yu know something?

"June."

Shen Yu's eyes seemed to be stained by the night behind him, and they were dark: "Did you ask him for help with Dad's matter?"

"Yes." Shuang Xu subconsciously wanted to explain, "Actually, that day I..."

Shen Yu asked again: "He forced you to use yourself in exchange before he was willing to help, right?"

"Brother, at that time I didn't know Brother Tingzhou..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Yu, who suppressed his anger in his deep voice: "I'm asking you, right?"

He had never been so harsh to her, not even when she accidentally got into trouble as a child, not even when he found out about her relationship with He Tingzhou. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been cruel to her once.

Shuang Xu pursed his lips: "No."

She said: "He didn't force me to do it. I proposed to make a deal with him myself."

It was as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. Blood spurted out and Shen Yu almost lost the strength to speak for a moment.

He had no outlet for his anger, which made him feel extremely bad. He took a cigarette from the box and lit it, but the smell of tobacco inhaled into his lungs made the situation worse.

"Go home." He was shrouded in a gloomy mood.

"I didn't know that Brother Tingzhou liked me at the time. He agreed because he liked me, not because he really wanted me to exchange my body for his." Shuang Xu said, "He never forced me from beginning to end."

Shen Yu asked her: "Do you like him? Are you with him because you like him?"

This question calmed Shuang Xu down.

Shen Yu's chest seemed to be blocked by a sponge filled with water. The smoke was stuck in his lungs and couldn't come out or go down, making his voice hoarse.

"Have I ever told you that no matter what happens, you don't have to sacrifice yourself? If I knew the price would be you, I would rather not help."

Shuang Xu's eyes became hot.

She knew that Shen Yu would never accept it, which was exactly why she tried so hard to hide it from him.

"But the result is good. My godfather is fine now, and brother Tingzhou really likes me."

"If he's not interested in you, he won't agree to your terms." Shen Yu put out his cigarette in the extinguisher and said in an unyielding tone, "Come home with me."
