Chapter 90 Do I look like your brother?
He Tingzhou called her "sister" in a frivolous tone, as if he was teasing his friend's sister. Only Shuang Xu could hear the coldness in it.
"Do I look like your brother?"
Only Yue Zifeng and the others like to call her sister.
He Tingzhou had called her by her full name, called her Ms. Song, and even sarcastically called her the little princess, but he had never called her sister.
Shuangxu immediately explained: "It's just that your body shape is a little similar, I didn't see your face just now."
He Tingzhou has a similar body shape to Shen Yu. He is one or two centimeters taller than Shen Yu, with broader shoulders and more powerful muscles. Other than that, they are not much different and their sizes are compatible.
But he and Shen Yu have completely different temperaments. The same clothes lose their elegance when worn on him.
He possesses both a cold and sharp aggression and an extremely relaxed laziness. The paradoxical combination of these two qualities is called He Tingzhou.
He Tingzhou twitched the corner of his lips sarcastically: "You mean, my face doesn't look like him, but my body does?"
There was a servant walking around the living room, and he said nonchalantly, "Is that why you turned off the lights last night?"
What's going on?
Shuang Xu was stunned at first, then a little flustered. He looked at Fu Yun who came out of the kitchen, praying that she didn't hear him.
He Tingzhou walked away, seemingly no longer interested in her answer.
Fu Yun said concernedly, "Tingzhou, I made some hot ginger tea. Drink some to prevent colds."
"Eating ginger at night is like eating arsenic." He Tingzhou said in a very cold tone, "I don't want to die today."
Fu Yun felt a little embarrassed by his words, but he didn't care and just walked away.
When Shen Yu came in, he happened to pass by He Tingzhou.
His steps gave off a cold air, and he said, "Your sister's eyesight is not very good. Take her to get a pair of glasses."
Shen Yu was a little surprised and looked at Shuang Xu: "What's wrong?"
Shuang Xu said with a troubled tone: "I just mistook Brother Tingzhou for you."
"I don't care." Shen Yu didn't care. "It doesn't matter. Tingzhou is not that petty."
It's really tiny.
Shuang Xu looked at He Tingzhou's departing back, and her mood seemed to be thrown out from the sky, falling and falling, and it didn't hit the bottom for a long time.
How did he think of going there?
He Tingzhou has a bad temper and a reputation for being arrogant and conceited. He is a person who has no taboos. When he gets angry, he even dares to defy his father. Fu Yun does not care about his rudeness.
"Hurry up and drink the ginger tea." She urged Shuang Xu, "You are such a reckless kid. Why didn't you call for help and just jumped down by yourself?"
Saving people is an instinct, and Shuang Xu really didn't think that much at the time.
"Brother Tingzhou has saved me many times, and this time he helped our family so much, so it's only right that I save him."
Fu Yun patted her head with relief: "Good girl."
Shuang Xu picked up the spoon and drank the ginger tea, but it was too hot and she could hardly drink it.
Lu Manman, who had not been seen all night, suddenly appeared and sat next to her: "I'm going to your house later, I'll give you a ride on the way."
This was not a tone of request. Shuang Xu turned her head and Lu Manman blinked at her, his eyes saying: Let's chat privately.
Shuang Xu didn't refuse.
The brother and sister are both very domineering. They neither allow others to refuse nor give others a chance to explain.
On the way, Lu Manman looked at her frequently, but Shuang Xu seemed to be unaware of it. He was worried about how to resolve this inexplicable misunderstanding.
The Lu family's driver took Shuang Xu to Songming Road. Lu Manman got off the car with her and wanted to go upstairs with her.
Shuang Xu was not sure whether He Tingzhou was here or whether he would come tonight, so he stopped helplessly.
"Why are you following me?"
"You don't want me to go in? Hey, that man is still hiding in your house, right?" Lu Manman grabbed her shoulders and questioned her like a wife who found out her husband was cheating on her. "Tell me, who is he?"
Shuang Xu changed the subject: "Where did you go tonight?"
Lu Manman stroked his chin and said in an unfathomable manner: "I'm thinking."
"It will be good for you to think about it more." Shuang Xu wanted to leave after saying this, but Lu Manman grabbed him with her quick eyes and hands.
"Hey, don't go." Lu Manman hung on her, "Tell me, if it's not your brother, who is that person? How could you change your mind so quickly?"
"Don't ask. It won't do you any good to know." Shuang Xu pulled her hand away.
Lu Manman threatened her: "If you don't tell me, I will tell your brother that you have someone else outside!"
"Go ahead." Shuang Xuya didn't feel threatened at all, "My brother won't care about this."
She was only afraid of one thing, that is, Shen Yu knew that she had made a shameful deal with He Tingzhou.
As for dating a man, she is not a child anymore, so why would Shen Yu care?
She waved her hand, ignoring Lu Manman's anxiety that she might not be able to sleep tonight because her curiosity was not satisfied, and turned to go upstairs.
Lu Manman said: "Xiaojiu, I really thought a lot today. I found that I seem to have underestimated the relationship between you and your brother."
Shuang Xu stopped and turned to look at her.
"Others always look at you with obscene assumptions, but your brother's feelings for you are based on affection and courtesy. You like him, but you have never had any sexual fantasies about him. Your feelings are not mixed with desires, and are much more noble than those of us who make assumptions."
"I used to be afraid that you would take Shen Yu away. Actually, I was the one who got in between you, right?"
Shuang Xu was surprised that she would reflect on herself like this, and her tone became softer: "No. There is no one between me and my brother. I didn't put myself in the right position."
"In fact, I don't understand your brother's feelings for you. But Xiaojiu, I think he may not be unintentional towards you."
Lu Manman's eyes are bright and honest at night. She longs for the most true love. If she doesn't have it, she hopes others can get it.
Shuang Xu shook her head: "He only treats me as a sister."
That's good.
She didn't want to take any risk that would push the distance between her and Shen Yu further.
There was no one at home, and He Tingzhou did not come that night.
Shuang Xu lay on the bed, thinking of his cold look when he left the Shen family.
Treating the other person as someone else in bed is quite insulting. Although I don't know how He Tingzhou's thoughts jumped to that point, he is used to being superior and probably can't stand this kind of humiliation.
In fact, He Tingzhou was the first person in the world to discover that she liked Shen Yu, even earlier than her good friend He Xiyue at the time.
During that period, he often came to visit the Shen family, and she was always beaten when playing chess with him, so she was always on pins and needles, anxiously waiting for Shen Yu to come back.
Once, when Shen Yu went back to her room to change clothes, she kept looking at the stairs while playing chess with He Tingzhou in the living room.
He Tingzhou suddenly asked, "Do you like your brother?"
Shuang Xu was stunned and turned to meet his meaningful gaze.
She was so nervous when she was seen through that her mind went blank. She didn't know how to answer and she felt like she was about to burst into tears.
When Shen Yu came down, she was extremely nervous, worried that He Tingzhou would tell on her. He said nothing, probably because he was not interested in her little worries.
However, after that day, she never saw He Tingzhou at the Shen family again.
