Chapter 35 Chapter 35 "Uncle, there is a generation gap between you and Yingxia...
The expressions of the people present changed instantly. Yao Yingxia and Shen Qingyuan were both very surprised, not understanding why Xu Nian knew all this. The corners of Shen Suxi's mouth began to twitch, as if she was going to go crazy in the next second.
Only Shen Xingchuan laughed out loud.
Shen Suxi looked at the dinner knife at hand, moved closer and closer, then reached out to grasp it, then looked at her brother, as if she wanted to stab his throat in the next second.
After seeing this, Shen Qingyuan quietly held Shen Suxi's hand, forcibly took the dinner knife away, and put it where she couldn't reach it.
Yao Yingxia asked awkwardly, "Mom, why do you say that?"
Xu Nian recalled: "One morning, I went downstairs to eat and saw a magazine on the table with a report about Qingyuan."
Shen Suxi once again glared at her brother viciously. She had already spent a large sum of money to arrange for the news about Qingyuan, and no one would dare to publish it. That magazine that "fell from the sky" must have been the work of her brother.
He really did everything he could to seize the initiative.
Shen Qingyuan finally spoke, solemnly telling Xu Nian, "Auntie, I don't like boys." He paused, his usually cold eyes surging with scorching magma. "I truly like Yingxia."
Shen Xingchuan finally couldn't laugh anymore. He saw that his little niece's face was completely red.
At such a relaxing and wonderful moment after the college entrance examination, Yao Yingxia couldn't understand why everyone was going crazy. Shen Qingyuan actually said such words in front of Xu Nian, which made her feel ashamed.
And Shen Suxi was like a grumpy puppy that had been completely calmed down. After a series of ups and downs in her mood, she became at ease and happy. She looked at Xu Nian with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, if we become relatives in the future, wouldn't it be a closer relationship?"
After being startled for a moment, Xu Nian just smiled awkwardly: "The children are still young, let's wait and see."
Xu Nian no longer doubted Shen Qingyuan's sexual orientation. Seeing how he confessed just now, no one could question his sincerity. However, if Xia Xia was really with Shen Qingyuan, she would have to continue to face Shen Changhe.
Xu Nian turned around and looked at her daughter beside her. It turned out that her usually calm and composed Xia Xia could become so helpless.
After all, her daughter's happiness is more important, she sighed silently.
Seeing that Xu Nian seemed to have completely accepted his fate, Shen Changhe was in a surprisingly good mood. He looked at Shen Xingchuan at the end of the table and saw that the knife in his hand was squeezed out of shape. He almost laughed out loud.
Being in this position, my younger brother will never be able to be as upright as Shen Qingyuan. After all, because of the relationship between Xu Nian and himself, he can only be an "elder" and a "younger uncle", and he cannot stand by Yao Yingxia with his heart honestly.
If he dared to confess in public like Shen Qingyuan did at this moment, Xu Nian would only think he was a pervert.
However, Yao Yingxia clearly favored Qingyuan.
The boring life gradually became interesting. His brother, who had always been smooth sailing and at ease, finally encountered a huge problem. Shen Changhe was very much looking forward to how he would break through the siege and break this shackles.
The worst situation had already happened, but Shen Xingchuan calmed down instead. He no longer forced himself to stay away from Yao Yingxia temporarily until he calmed down completely.
He felt very sober now, and smiled as a senior should. He looked at Yao Yingxia and asked, "When did my niece and nephew get together?"
This was indeed a good question, which instantly aroused everyone's curiosity and they all looked at her.
Yao Yingxia's scalp tingled with fear at that overly "kind" smile, and her mind subconsciously recalled the day they formed their alliance: "Last December."
Xu Nian vaguely remembered that it was probably when he had just returned to China, and the next day he received an invitation to have a meal at Shen Suxi's house. It seemed that from that day on, the relationship between Xia Xia and Qing Yuan progressed by leaps and bounds.
The timing seemed impeccable.
Shen Xingchuan simply nodded after hearing this and sighed softly, "It seems a lot of interesting things happened during that time."
He seemed to have something else to say, something profound and meaningful.
Shen Suxi, who was sitting next to her brother, heard everything clearly, but before she could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Shen Xingchuan had already raised his glass, and a brilliant smile bloomed on his already handsome face: "I wish my niece and nephew a happy marriage."
It was really inappropriate to say such words to two kids who had just graduated from high school. No one clinked glasses with him, but just looked at him in shock, as if he was a lunatic.
Shen Xingchuan didn't care much and drank the wine in the glass alone. Then he called Shen Suxi and said, "Second sister, eat more. You have been talking all day and haven't eaten much."
Shen Suxi stared at her brother in amazement. He seemed to be in a very good mood, with his peach blossom eyes sparkling and shining as if they were about to emit light. She immediately became uneasy.
Thinking back to what he had done for Yao Yingxia in the past, how he had driven those boys from Middle School A to ruin with just a wave of his hand, his brother, witnessing today's scene, shouldn't have reacted this way.
But he seemed fearless and didn't care at all about what had just happened.
Shen Changhe was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger, and now he had to admit defeat. Shen Suxi was suspicious, and the more her brother pretended to be indifferent, the more it aroused her inner uneasiness. To deal with Shen Qingyuan, he couldn't be as cruel as he was to others. He only needed to bury a hidden mine and detonate her when necessary.
When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond will naturally be affected.
After the dinner, Shen Suxi couldn't fall asleep until late at night, thinking over and over again about everything that happened today. Her brother's calmness was like a nail piercing her heart. She clearly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint the point, so she began to review Shen Xingchuan's actions today from the beginning.
He first annoyed his brother, who then turned against him, but when she released the video to even the score, his brother acted indifferent and instead asked about how long Qingyuan and Xia Xia had been dating.
After receiving a reply, he seemed to say something like this: "It seems that a lot of interesting things happened during that time."
Which period?
What's interesting?
In the height of summer, the sound of cicadas outside the window was so loud and piercing that it almost drove her crazy.
Shen Suxi suddenly sat up from the bed, her sharp nails tightly gripping the quilt beneath her.
A chill rose from the soles of her feet and gradually invaded her heart, making her look withered and hopeless.
Yes, Qingyuan and Yao Yingxia suddenly became close the day after she discovered his scandal with Xu Lang.
She held her head in her hands and slowly bent down: "Qingyuan, how could you lie to me like this?"
No wonder my younger brother was so fearless and didn't take Qingyuan seriously at all. It turned out that they were just acting according to the circumstances and were working together to deceive me?
The shrill cries were blocked by the door and only echoed in the empty bedroom. Only when she was exhausted did Shen Suxi regain her composure.
She recalled the sincere look on Qingyuan's face when he said he liked Yao Yingxia. It didn't look like he was lying at all. If he was acting, he could have competed for an Oscar.
Chen Suxi held onto a last glimmer of hope. Before dawn, she called the housekeeper and ordered him in a distraught tone, "Find a time when Qingyuan is not around and install micro cameras in every room in the house, except the bedroom and bathroom."
After that, Yao Yingxia lived a peaceful life and did many things that she didn't dare to waste time on before, such as spending a whole day watching a TV series, reading comic books day and night, and occasionally maintaining her girlfriend persona and going to Shen Qingyuan's house to play games or watch movies together.
On this day, Yao Yingxia stayed up late until the early morning. After having breakfast in the restaurant, she remembered that she had an appointment with Shen Qingyuan to go to the library, so she simply didn't go back to sleep and sat on the sofa to continue reading the horror comic that she had not finished yet.
As I looked, my eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally I closed my eyes.
When the appointed time came, Shen Qingyuan didn't wait for anyone and went straight to his uncle's house. Just as he was about to go upstairs to find Yao Yingxia, he ran into Shen Xingchuan who was about to go out.
The uncle and nephew had not met alone for a long time. When they met now, one of them felt guilty and the other was smiling with a forced smile, and they were even worse than strangers.
Shen Qingyuan called out "Uncle" and was about to go upstairs, but he heard Shen Xingchuan say, "She's not here."
So he retracted his steps, thought for a moment, and finally apologized: "Uncle, I'm sorry."
Shen Xingchuan seemed bewildered: "What did my nephew do to offend me?"
Although Shen Qingyuan always wanted to compete fairly, what happened that day almost blocked his uncle's way. Now Yao Yingxia is his "official girlfriend", and his uncle has to bear moral risks in everything he does. Even if he doesn't care about anyone's opinion, he has to consider Xu Nian.
During this period, Shen Qingyuan felt happy because of Yao Yingxia's existence, but the happier he was, the more sorry he felt for his uncle.
He always thought of his childhood when his father was caught cheating, Shen Suxi went crazy for a long time, and the young him was taken to live with his uncle.
During every holiday, Shen Xingchuan did not allow him to study, fearing that his nephew would become a nerd at such a young age. His uncle took him skydiving, surfing, bungee jumping, and skiing. These extreme sports greatly trained his mind and were also the few happy times in his childhood. Shen Qingyuan was able to grow up safely and steadily, thanks to his uncle.
Even though there's no right or wrong in matters of the heart, he still felt guilty: "After all, you were the one who liked Yingxia first."
Shen Xingchuan seemed to be laughing: "If you really feel sorry for me, stay away from her."
This was a bit unreasonable, and Shen Qingyuan was unwilling to give in: "But I am more suitable for her."
"I'd like to hear more about it."
"Uncle, there's a generation gap between you and Yingxia."
Shen Xingchuan finally frowned: "Are you saying I'm too old?"
That wasn't exactly what he meant, but the pressure of aging could sometimes be suffocating and overwhelming, like now.
Shen Qingyuan subconsciously avoided those overly sharp eyes: "Yingxia is afraid of you."
Most people can only express love when they feel safe.
Shen Xingchuan walked closer and said sarcastically, "My little nephew seems to have already considered himself the winner."
Shen Qingyuan was finally irritated by his tone: "After all, she is my 'girlfriend' now."
"Then you'd better pray every day, she always will."
The two parted on bad terms. After the door slammed shut for a long time, Yao Yingxia dared to open her eyes, only to see Shen Xingchuan standing beside her, staring at her with a half-smile: "Did you hear everything?"
