Shen Jinjin has been feeling inexplicably nervous and flustered in recent days. She is very afraid that the "crazy man" will come to her house.
However, for various reasons, she never dared to tell her brother about this and could only bear the fear alone.
During this period of time, Shen Jinjin was worried and restless all day long, and even lost her former enthusiasm for life.
Even when her good friend Lin Mengwan asked her out to play, she had no interest at all. As the days passed, Shen Jinjin's mental state became worse and worse.
Until one day, Lin Mengwan couldn't stand it anymore, rushed into Shen Jinjin's house, and pulled her out without saying anything: "You have to go with me today no matter what! I'm going on a blind date, can you bear to let me face it alone?"
Faced with such a strong Lin Mengwan, Shen Jinjin had no choice but to reluctantly agree to accompany her.
After the two of them arrived at a cafe, Shen Jinjin began to fiddle with the coffee cup in her hand, appearing very absent-minded.
At this time, Lin Mengwan finally noticed her abnormality and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? You are still so distracted after coming out with me."
Shen Jinjin quickly shook her head and denied: "No... nothing happened."
She didn't want to add to Lin Mengwan's troubles, nor did she want to make her worry unnecessarily, so she decided to continue hiding it.
"You're still saying it's okay, but you almost have the words 'I'm annoyed' written all over your face." Shen Jinjin stared at the other person closely, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, as if she was determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.
"Okay!" Shen Jinjin sighed helplessly, and then repeated everything that happened outside the Lin Mansion that day in detail.
"You... you are so brave. You actually dare to hide such a big thing from us!" Lin Mengwan tapped Shen Jinjin's forehead with her hand, showing an expression of disappointment.
At this moment, Shen Jinjin finally realized the seriousness of the problem and began to feel scared. She lowered her head pitifully, looking very aggrieved.
"Jinjin, in my opinion, you must talk to your brothers about this matter." Lin Mengwan made a pertinent suggestion.
Hearing that she was going to tell her brother, Shen Jinjin lowered her head, seeming a little hesitant. Since her brother went to teach at the university, he has become more serious and rigid.
Nowadays, Shen Jinjin sometimes doesn't even dare to chat with her brother for a few more words, for fear that he will suddenly change his face and lose his temper.
"Are you afraid of your brother?" Lin Mengwan suddenly asked.
Shen Jinjin nodded obediently like a child who had made a mistake.
"I knew it. Your brother looks very old-fashioned!! Old-fashioned!!" When Lin Mengwan mentioned Shen Chengzhi, she couldn't help but think of what happened that day.
In her heart, she also felt that Shen Chengzhi was too dull and boring.
"Jinjin, don't worry. If it really comes to the point, just tell that brother Ji! In my opinion, he treats you very well. Mr. Ji is not only gentle and elegant, but also considerate to you. So, he will definitely not get angry with you."
Lin Mengwan kept chattering, and at the same time, she did not forget to look up to observe the changes in Shen Jinjin's expression.
As expected, when Shen Jinjin heard the name "Ji Yu", her originally frowned brows instantly relaxed, and the sadness on her face disappeared without a trace.
"Well, that's a good idea." Shen Jinjin nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Lin Mengwan's suggestion.
"Look at you... Every time you mention your brother Ji, you immediately smile and seem like a different person. If others see you, they might mistakenly think that he is your real fiancé." Lin Mengwan suddenly said this teasing remark.
Shen Jinjin blushed immediately, and angrily hit Lin Mengwan's arm lightly, pouting her lips and mumbling, "No way? I just simply regard him as a brother. Besides... I have an engagement."
However, when she said the last half of the sentence, Shen Jinjin's tone clearly carried a hint of loss and melancholy that was difficult to conceal.
"Okay! Okay! Our Jinjin has a fiancé whom she has never met." Lin Mengwan said jokingly.
Just as the two were laughing and joking, a man in a Zhongshan suit walked up from behind them.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Lin?" A deep and magnetic male voice suddenly came from behind.
This voice was inexplicably familiar, and Shen Jinjin and Lin Mengwan couldn't help but turn their heads at the same time.
"elder brother!!"
“Mr. Shen!!!”
Lin Mengwan's reaction was even more intense than Shen Jinjin's.
Shen Jinjin looked at her brother with suspicion, wondering in her heart: How come she never knew that her brother was going out for a blind date today?
Shen Chengzhi originally wanted to hide this matter from his sister, for fear that she would tell Ji Yu nonsense after returning.
However, to his surprise, the blind date turned out to be an old acquaintance! What's worse, this person happened to be the guy he least wanted to see.
"Are you Mr. Qiu's niece?" Shen Chengzhi hesitated and asked again.
Lin Mengwan stood up, walked around Shen Chengzhi several times, looked at him carefully from head to toe for a long time, and then said: "Oh, it turns out that the young and promising and elegant teacher my uncle mentioned is you! I didn't expect that Mr. Shen would dress himself up so well today."
"You woman..." In front of his sister, Shen Chengzhi really didn't want to argue with outsiders.
But unfortunately, Lin Mengwan could always easily make him angry when she opened her mouth.
Although the atmosphere between the two was as tense as if they were drawing swords against each other, in Shen Jinjin's eyes, it seemed that sparks of love were flickering between them.
So, Shen Jinjin left the cafe very sensibly.
