The shopping mall that Chi Xingyao mentioned is a high-end shopping mall that the Xue family has just opened. It is located in the city center, with a construction area of 350,000 square meters, more than 700 brands, and several top luxury brand boutiques.
It is said that this was opened on a whim by Xue Du, which is really astonishing.
On the way there, Shen Yinan briefly talked about himself and Xue Du.
After hearing this, Chi Xingyao's eyebrows almost knotted: "So... you two fell in love at first sight? So you decided to give it a try?"
"Well...sort of."
Shen Yinan turned his head to look in the rearview mirror, his hair covering his eyes.
He actually felt a little guilty.
Chi Xingyao was his cousin and his only friend. He wanted to tell her that Xue Du didn't like boys and that they were just in a contractual relationship.
But because the fake boyfriend agreement stipulated that their relationship could not be denied to the outside world, Shen Yinan could only tell that he and Xue Du were together.
Since childhood, Shen Yinan has never told any lies, so he couldn't help feeling nervous and guilty, fearing that the other party would know that he was lying and would no longer associate with him in the future.
Compared to him, Chi Xingyao accepted it quickly.
"Just talk about it, you're not young anymore, it's time to experience love." Chi Xingyao patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, if Xue Du bullies you, I'll tell Xue Ning to complain to her grandmother. Her old lady hates unfaithful men the most."
Shen Yinan pursed his lips and smiled, a little warmth welling up in his heart.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to buy a bag?"
Chi Xingyao glanced at him: "Why? You want me to keep it a secret for you? Don't worry, I won't say a word even if you don't bribe me."
As she spoke, she made a zippering gesture with her mouth.
Shen Yinan’s eyes curved slightly: “Let’s go.”
He is a very clumsy person and can't say nice things, so he can only repay his friends' kindness in this way.
…
After they arrived at the mall, they first bought two cups of milk tea.
Chi Xingyao drank a sip of sugar-free milk tea and stared at Shen Yinan’s thin waist sourly: “You always drink full sugar milk tea, why are you still so thin?”
Ana Shen touched his waist.
Maybe it was due to malnutrition in childhood. Although he is 178cm tall, he is still thin.
The expression on Xue Du's face when he handed him the chopsticks this morning suddenly appeared in his mind.
With his brows slightly furrowed, he spoke with some concern, "Eat more, you're too thin."
Finally, he added, "If you do this, Lu Zhi and the others will think I'm mistreating you."
Mr. Shen, who was doing his duty, blinked.
Well, I'll try to eat more starting today. It's an agreement after all.
A hand waved before my eyes: "Hey, what are you thinking about? Can't you hear me?"
“What?” Shen Yinan asked.
"That's right... I'm asking you, how's he like in that area?" Chi Xingyao winked. "A few days ago, I saw online that he said his nose was straight..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Yinan covered his mouth.
"Sister...you, please keep your voice down..."
Shen Yinan was thin-skinned, and the side of his face immediately turned red.
He stammered, "Go, go buy a bag..."
Seeing that he was so easily amused, Chi Xingyao had no choice but to give up her curiosity, shrugged her shoulders and followed him.
The two of them left while sipping milk tea, completely unaware that someone behind them raised their phone and took a picture of their backs.

The fifth floor of the shopping mall.
In a bright and spacious luxury store, a woman in innocent clothes fiddled with her bag and asked a man who was looking down at his phone:
"Honey, stop looking at your phone. How about this bag?"
Gu Yan didn't look up. He looked at the photo on his phone and said indifferently, "Buy it if you like it."
"What's wrong? You've been distracted since the past two days. Are you thinking about other girls?" The woman narrowed her eyes, dissatisfied with his attitude. "Or did your fiancée send you a message?"
As he said this, he came closer to take a look.
"Don't think too much."
Gu Yan hung up the phone and recalled the photos in the group chat, feeling a little annoyed.
In the photo, the two people were photographed at an ambiguous angle. Although their bodies were not touching at all, it looked like their relationship was unusual.
Some of the rich kids in their group recognized Chi Xingyao and exclaimed in amazement:
[You're quite capable. Two days ago, you went to the Xue family to lick Xue Ning, and now you're licking the Chi family.]
[This is hilarious. This pretty boy is just playing around. Does he really think people take him seriously?]
[I used to be a bootlicker following Brother Yan, and now I am a bootlicker following two women. I am destined to be a bootlicker for the rest of my life~]
Some people kept @Gu Yan, making him laugh at the joke, and some people wanted to send messages to Xue Ning.
The Chi family is low-key, and not many people know that Shen Yinan and Chi Xingyao are distant cousins. Gu Yan does not intend to help clarify it, nor will he stop others from spreading rumors.
First he didn't reply to the message, and then he hooked up with Xue Ning. Shen Yinan spared no effort to attract his attention. He deserved to suffer a little.
Seeing that Gu Yan's expression was not very good, the woman had to change the subject: "Dear, why haven't I seen your little brother recently?"
She didn't say who it was, but the boy's handsome face immediately appeared in Gu Yan's mind.
Gu Yan frowned fiercely: "Why mention him? Feng Yi, are you going to buy it or not?"
Feng Yi muttered, "I'm a little uncomfortable with this... and he's good-looking. I wanted to introduce him to my friends."
Gu Yan: “…”
In fact, he also felt a little uncomfortable these days.
He had been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family a long time ago. He used to date the mistresses, and in order to hide his tracks, he always brought Shen Yinan with him.
But Shen Yinan had too strong a sense of morality and always had to lecture him, saying that it was not good to have multiple relationships. After a long time, Gu Yan became very annoyed.
But suddenly no one was nagging him, but Gu Yan always felt something was wrong.
He suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He grabbed the bag from Feng Yi's hand and threw it to the waiter beside him, then swiped his card and left.
Seeing that Gu Yan had no intention of shopping any further, Feng Yi hurriedly followed him, carrying the packaging bag. After taking a few steps, she widened her eyes and shook the person next to her:
"Hey? Isn't that your little brother? Who's the handsome guy next to him?"
Gu Yan followed Feng Yi's gaze and was stunned.
Outside the glass window, more than ten meters away, the handsome young man raised a suit jacket and gestured to Shen Yinan, as if asking him to try it on.
From this angle, Shen Yinan’s face couldn’t be seen clearly, but the smile on the young man’s face could be seen clearly, which could be described as gentle.
Gu Yan’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Xue Du is well-known in the circle for not liking to socialize. Usually, no matter how many times you invite him to a party, he won't show up. When you meet him, he always has a sour face and looks very aloof.
After Shen Yinan returned to the Shen family, he rarely showed up. When did he meet Xue Du?
And it seems... they are very familiar with each other.
Is it really as others say...that Shen Yinan hooked up with Xue Ning and started to eat soft rice?
But doesn’t Shen Yinan like himself?
My five fingers tightened unconsciously, and my knuckles turned white.
Gu Yan raised his foot and walked towards the two of them——
