Shen Shuyi entered Han Yu's home again. Han Yu asked her to watch a movie and rest in the living room, and also washed some fruit for her considerately.
She went straight into the kitchen with a plate of fruit to see Han Yu wearing an apron. The off-white apron was matched with a black shirt. He was tall and had long legs, and his temperament was humble and elegant. This man was so handsome even in the kitchen.
Shen Shuyi ate a grape and asked Han Yu, "Brother Yu, does the braised fish need to be fried?"
"No need." Han Yu said, "The nanny has already cooked the chicken soup. What else do you want to eat?"
"How about the simplest scrambled eggs with tomatoes? And a pan-fried pork chop. I saw there's also braised beef, so cut me a plate."
"This should be enough to eat." Shen Shuyi felt that it was enough.
Han Yu nodded and said, "I'll add a shrimp and cucumber salad."
Shen Shuyi approached him, picked up a grape, stood on tiptoe and put it to his lips, "Brother Yu, you have worked hard~"
Han Yu was slightly startled, then met her innocent eyes. Without thinking much, he lowered his head and ate the grapes.
"Go to the living room. There's smoke."
"Okay, I'll feed you another one." Shen Shuyi picked up another purple-red grape and stuffed it to his lips, and accidentally touched the man's soft lips with her fingers.
She quickly withdrew her hand and her ears blushed, "I, I'm leaving!"
Han Yu still had a grape in his mouth. Looking at the panicked man with red ears, his eyes darkened slightly.
There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, and the meal is ready quickly.
Shen Shuyi helped bring out the dishes, and when the two of them sat at the dining table to eat, she couldn’t help but praise it again.
"Brother Yu, if you don't want to be a professor anymore, you can become a chef."
"It's delicious and fragrant. Your girlfriend will be blessed in the future~"
"They're all home-cooked dishes." Han Yu used his serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised fish for her, the boneless part. "Eat it and go home to have a good sleep."
Shen Shuyi picked up a piece of braised beef for Han Yu, “Brother Yu, you should eat more too.”
"It's still early, how can I sleep? I was thinking of taking a walk in the evening."
"Brother Yu, there's an artificial lake to the west of the community. The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are in full bloom in the autumn and smell very fragrant. Can I invite you to take a walk there after dinner?"
"Yeah." Han Yu agreed and served her a bowl of chicken soup.
Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on his hand holding the bowl of soup. Han Yu's hands were very beautiful, slender and white, and even his nails were clean.
Blue veins can be faintly seen under the white skin on the back of the hand.
Especially when he holds a pen, the joints are slightly protruding and there is a rough feeling.
Shen Shuyi quickly suppressed the various colorful images in her mind, and her cheeks turned red.
Han Yu's favorability towards her had unknowingly reached 50%, and he urgently needed an opportunity to break through.
"Brother Yu, I've discovered that you're a really good family man. Anyone who becomes your girlfriend will definitely be very happy."
After Shen Shuyi finished saying this, he heard a low laugh from Han Yu.
"Being able to cook can make my girlfriend happy?"
"Xiaoyi, this is just a part of me. If you knew all about me, you wouldn't think so." Han Yu didn't take her words to heart.
Shen Shuyi was dissatisfied, “But from what I know, Brother Yu is really a good person.”
Han Yu looked calm and even asked with a smile.
"What's good about me?"
Shen Shuyi took the chicken soup he handed over and drank two sips, then put down the bowl and supported his chin, as if thinking.
“I like the way you cook.”
"I also like the way you listen to me carefully."
"He speaks and acts very gently."
“I genuinely care about people.”
“No one dislikes Professor Han like this.”
Shen Shuyi looked at Han Yu and said, "You are very handsome, a leader in the industry, and have a good family background."
Han Yu was amused by her words.
"I'm not like this to everyone, so there's no such thing as other women liking me."
“In the eyes of many people, I’m even boring.”
He roughly knew why Shen Shuyi had such a strong filter for him.
It is because she regards herself as her own brother and a family member, and transfers the love that she did not receive in her original family to him, that she thinks he is good.
At this point, Han Yusi felt even more distressed for Shen Shuyi.
She is so smart and capable, but she still lacks emotional security.
After thinking about this, Han Yu felt a sense of loss for some reason.
Shen Shuyi said bluntly, “But I don’t think you are boring. Even Brother Yu’s lectures are funny and humorous.”
"It's because of Brother Yu's preference for me that I think you are good and I like you."
She looked at Han Yu intently and said, "No matter what the reason is, I like you."
Han Yu felt something was wrong with what she said, and the look in her eyes made him want to run away.
An abnormally fast and frantic heartbeat.
The love Xiaoyi mentioned must be the kind of affection a sister has for her brother.
Han Yu stood up to clean up the dishes. Seeing him running away, Chen Shuyi said something to the kitchen.
"I'll wait for you to come out for a walk, Brother Yu~"
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the yard. Chen Shuyi stood under a flower tree and looked at Han Yu in the window.
He moved in an orderly manner and quickly cleaned up the kitchen, took off his apron and went out.
Han Yu walked towards the yard to meet Chen Shuyi, and saw the girl waving at him under the sunset glow with a smile on her face.
He noticed that when Shen Shuyi smiled, there were two dimples at the corners of her mouth.
The girl has a slim figure and fair skin. Her smile is more beautiful than the bright moon in the sky and is extremely dazzling.
Shen Shuyi walked up to Han Yu and said, "Brother Yu, let's go."
"Yeah." Han Yu responded.
The two walked towards the community garden, where there was a fountain pool and some entertainment facilities for children. There were also two rows of osmanthus trees on the bank of the river, winding out of the community gate.
Shen Shuyi smelled the sweet scent of osmanthus in the air and said, "I have lived here for so long and have never come out for a walk."
"Well, I seldom go out either." Han Yu said.
The two walked on the sidewalk of the community. The twilight was charming and the autumn wind blew their clothes into the air.
The corners of Shen Shuyi's lips curled up slightly, and she smelled the rich sweet scent of osmanthus in the air, and she looked up at Han Yu.
"I'll buy some osmanthus flowers and make osmanthus cake someday and give it to you to try. This is my specialty cake."
"Yeah." Han Yu had his shirt buttoned up during class, but now he had two buttons undone at the collar, looking a lot more casual and comfortable.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered, and thunder sounded after a flash of lightning.
Shen Shuyi frowned slightly, “It looks like it’s going to rain.”
It is severe convection with short-term heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and strong winds that come at any time.
"Be careful not to fall." Han Yu reminded.
This heavy rain came unexpectedly. Shen Shuyi reached out and grabbed Han Yu's wrist, "Brother Yu, pull me."
Warm fingers gripped his wrist, and Han Yu was pulled back before he could react.
In the pouring rain, Han Yu didn't think twice and grabbed her hand and ran with her to the nearest flower pavilion to shelter from the rain.
The flower pavilion is very unique, like a retro telephone booth. It can usually only accommodate one adult, and it would be a bit crowded if two people hide inside.
By the time they entered the pavilion, most of their clothes were already wet.
Shen Shuyi was a little out of breath from running. Facing Han Yu, she slowed down her breathing. Feeling the warmth of his big hand, her originally fair face turned red.
