Chi Xingyao, who was originally waiting to hear the details, was depressed when she heard that she had to go to pick up Shen Yuzhen: "Why isn't my cousin's mother going?"
“I was on a business trip a few days ago. I had several charity events and might be there for about a month.” Shen Yinan put a chopstick of tripe into the pot.
Shen Hua believes that doing more good deeds will be rewarded. He often did it during the years when Shen Yinan was missing. After he came back, he believed it even more and launched many charity activities every year.
"But weren't they all in this city before?" Chi Xingyao was surprised. "How could my cousin's mother be willing to leave her grown-up son at home alone?"
"Shen Zhongcheng has brought in companies from two other cities, hoping to expand his scope. Several of his recent investment projects haven't yielded good returns."
"Oh, hype." Chi Xingyao understood. "Then when are you going to take the job? Do you want me to promote you too? I've already thought of the title - A gentle brother rescues a scumbag who has fallen, it's so touching!"
Ana Shen laughed at her choice of words.
"So when are we going to pick them up?"
She scooped up a piece and put it in her mouth, but she screamed again because of the burn.
Ana Shen handed her a glass of water and said, “Go after dinner, you can’t let grandma pick you up.”
"Okay, okay, okay..." Chi Xingyao changed her mind and patted her bag. "I brought a camera today to help him record his bruised face."
She hadn’t forgotten her business yet, and urged Shen Yinan to report on the progress with Xue Du.
Shen Yinan lowered his head to eat the food, and almost choked when he heard this.
After she finished stammering, her pretty face had already turned red.
Of course, he was too embarrassed to mention intimate things, so he simply summarized some daily things, such as breakfast, gifts, and last night's fireworks...
After hearing this, Chi Xingyao said, "If I get diabetes, you will take half the responsibility."
Ana Shen didn’t understand, and looked down at the receipt: “I didn’t order dessert…”
Chi Xingyao laughed heartily: "Oh, you guys are just too sweet!"
She also lowered her head and asked Shen Yinan to put his hand on her head and asked him to bless her, "I hope that sweet love can also be my turn!"
Speaking of this, Shen Yinan was a little puzzled: “You haven’t been in contact with your eldest brother recently…?”
Chi Xingyao paused, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the glass. "He's been meeting new blind dates lately, so I won't join in the fun."
The words were spoken lightly, but the expression was extremely awkward.
Ana Shen saw that she didn’t want to mention it, so she didn’t ask any more questions.
It was an hour later when we finished eating.
Pushing open the door of the hot pot restaurant, the warm night breeze of early summer blew towards me, blowing away some of the heat brought out of the restaurant.
At this time, it was completely dark.
The night market not far away is bustling with activity. The vendors’ stalls are crowded together, the aroma of food and smoke rises together, the people passing by have smiles on their faces, and the air is filled with the atmosphere of life.
Shen Yinan seemed to be infected, his lips unconsciously raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Almost subconsciously, a thought emerged in my mind: The atmosphere here is great, if Xue Du is here too...
He blinked and suppressed the thought.
When he came to his senses, he saw Chi Xingyao looking at him with raised eyebrows and a particularly relieved smile.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Yinan touched his face, “Is there something on my face?”
"No." Chi Xingyao touched her chin, "It's just... I feel like you've changed a lot now."
“What has changed?” Shen Yinan lowered his head to send a message to the driver and asked.
Chi Xingyao pointed at his face and said, "You like to laugh more and more now. Before, I told ten jokes and you only laughed once! After being with Xue Du, you seem to be much more cheerful."
Her tone was exaggerated, and Shen Yinan thought carefully about when he first met Chi Xingyao.
After they met, it was indeed Chi Xingyao who talked most of the time, and when they went out to play, it was Chi Xingyao who pulled them along. He almost never took the initiative to invite her...
At that time, he didn't dare to make friends or express himself for fear of being disliked.
But from a friend's perspective...it's probably pretty incompetent.
How did Chi Xingyao endure it?
He couldn't help but ask.
Chi Xingyao's eyes flickered, and she touched the back of her head: "Uh... just think of me as someone who's obsessed with my looks."
She is obsessed with looks, but she is not so good-looking that people would treat her like a star when she walks on the street. How can she be so attractive?
Is it... Grandma who asked Chi Xingyao to be friends with me?
As soon as Shen Yinan had doubts, Chi Xingyao’s phone rang.
Not far away, Shen Yinan recognized that the voice on the other side was Xue Ning’s.
The two chatted for a few words, and Chi Xingyao handed the phone to Shen Yinan.
Ana Shen took it and called “Sister” obediently, but a low laugh came from the other side.
"Baby, it's me."
Shen Yinan’s eyes, which had been drooping, slowly blinked, and his lips curled up slightly: “Is sister okay?”
"If you keep asking her, I'll be unhappy." The young man said jokingly.
Ana Shen changed his tone: “Are you okay?”
"I'm fine." Xue Du was finally satisfied. "Have you finished eating? Do you want me to pick you up? There's a new ice cream shop nearby. You can buy some to take home."
He spoke softly, and Xue Ning, who was waiting beside him, became a little annoyed and shouted, "Can you please get down to business?"
Xue Du glanced over and asked: "Are you in a hurry?"
"After notifying this, I still have to notify others!"
Xue Ning snatched the phone, cleared his throat, and put on the demeanor of a gentle elder. He got straight to the point and said to Shen Yinan, "Yinan, your sister Yu and I have reunited. I own an island with beautiful scenery. Are you free next month? Let's go there together? It'll take about a week."
