Shen Yu seemed to sense something and turned around to look at the two people in the corridor behind him, then gave a sinister smile.
"Are you using me as a shield?"
Seeing that the two people were no longer looking at them, Xi Xingxue instantly turned her back on them.
(Actually, he's also afraid of being struck by lightning; his behavior has already strained his public image.)
He scoffed, "Hmph, what kind of talk is that? I'm not going to get close to you."
After saying that, Xi Xingxue prepared to let him go.
However,
"A collapse of the host's persona has been detected, and a lightning strike will be imposed as punishment."
Xi Xingxue's eyes widened. What the heck?
Tonic!
"Ah!" Before she could even react, a jolt of electricity shot through her limbs and bones, and a tingling, stinging sensation spread throughout her body. Unable to hold on any longer, Xi Xingxue collapsed gracefully.
Fortunately, he didn't completely let go of Shen Yu's hand, and he immediately used the leverage to fall on top of him, hugging Shen Yu even tighter.
The boy's chest pressed tightly against Shen Yu's back, and his soft arms, like octopus tentacles, were wrapped tightly around Shen Yu's neck.
"Aren't you going to let go?"
Shen Yu's facial expression gradually turned cold, revealing three parts indifference, three parts mockery, and four parts gloom and terror. A storm was brewing!
When Xi Xingxue's pain subsided, he was suddenly pushed away, staggering and nearly falling flat on his face.
Looking up and meeting Shen Yu's eyes, Xi Xingxue was stunned, utterly shocked.
"Second, second brother, what's with that expression?"
Pie chart?
Does Shen, the yandere, also have the potential to be a domineering CEO?
No wonder I always felt he was putting on an act.
Xi Xingxue was deep in thought.
However, before he could think any further, his wrist was suddenly gripped tightly, and he was pushed backward until his back hit a thick tree root!
In their panic, the two locked eyes.
A breeze blew by, and Shen Yu's dark eyes were faintly visible beneath his hair, occasionally flashing with a cold light that sent shivers down one's spine.
Xi Xingxue felt a pressure pressing against his throat, something that he couldn't push up or fall down.
After pinning him to the tree, Shen Yu didn't say anything, but just stared at him.
If looks were a knife, Xi Xingxue would have been torn to pieces long ago.
He was unconvinced and subconsciously raised his chin to confront him.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she stuck to her "green tea" persona and used her usual soft, sweet voice: "Chen Yu, why...why are you pinning me against a tree?"
Xi Xingxue stared back at her.
However, he could never draw a pie chart with his eyes; the only emotion in his eyes was accusation.
Shen Yu suddenly chuckled in a cryptic tone: "What are you pretending for, Xiaoxue? You don't actually think I treat you like a younger brother, do you?"
Pack?
Is he pretentious?
Xi Xingxue shook her head, unconvinced.
"Then why are you calling me 'Little Snow' so affectionately, and now you've pinned me against a tree? Chen Yu, you wouldn't happen to have feelings for me, would you?"
Shen Yu: "..." He dreamt of the night he said he wanted to sleep with him.
“Narcissistic.” Shen Yu uttered two fatal words as he moved his lips.
Just as Xi Xingxue was about to say something in response, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the tree, accompanied by the sound of a basketball hitting the ground.
"Young Master Xi?"
Xi Xingxue turned around.
A tall girl appeared behind the tree. She had long, silky hair and a face covered in makeup that was stunningly beautiful, radiating beauty and charm.
Vocals! My fiancée!
Xi Xingxue quickly pushed Shen Yu's hand away and slid out from under Shen Yu's arm.
"Zhu Yuan, what are you doing here?"
Xi Xingxue seemed to be wearing roller skates, smoothly gliding up to the tall girl and smiling at her.
Zhu Yuan, the daughter of the Zhu family who was betrothed to the Xi family since childhood, revealed a faint smile on her alluring face.
"I came to retrieve the basketball, but I didn't expect to find the two of you here..."
Zhu Yuan narrowed her long, narrow eyes slightly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Xi Xingxue and Shen Yu.
The two were in a tree-hugging position. From behind the tree, only half of the scene could be seen, but because of this limited view, their posture looked exactly like they were about to kiss.
Xi Xingxue also felt that Zhu Yuan had misunderstood.
Zhu Yuan is also one of his targets. They have met four or five times in total, and their current favorability rating is only 30.
Xi Xingxue quickly explained softly, "Zhu Yuan, you know we brothers haven't known each other for long. We're just getting to know each other."
"Exchanging...feelings?"
Zhu Yuan's beautiful eyes were fixed on Xi Xingxue.
The boy was about the same height as her, around 180 cm. The boy's aura was clearly more assertive, but Xi Xingxue was just too fair-skinned and slender, with jade-like skin, red lips and white teeth.
Zhu Yuan's aura, on the contrary, firmly enveloped Xi Xingxue.
“Yes.” Xi Xingxue nodded vigorously, then glanced at Shen Yu, signaling him to explain.
Isn't he trying to steal his fiancée? Say something.
In the actual story, Shen Yu doesn't like Zhu Yuan, and he doesn't have an official love interest. He just wants to take away everything that doesn't belong to the fake young master.
After he takes her away, he will break off his engagement with Zhu Yuan.
The books that Xi Xingxue transmigrates into are usually stories where several single male protagonists gather in the same world.
For example, Shen Yu's story follows a script where the real young master returns in disguise to take revenge on the scum.
Zhu Yuan, on the other hand, is someone who, for certain reasons, can only dress up as a girl, dominating the business world while wearing women's clothing, and reaching the pinnacle of her career.
Shen Yu naturally saw through Xi Xingxue's hint.
He successfully greeted Zhu Yuan: "Hello, Miss Zhu."
Zhu Yuan also gave a polite smile: "Hello."
Her features were well-defined and her makeup was exquisite. Although her shoulders and waist were wider than Xi Xingxue's, her bright and beautiful face still made people not think she was a boy.
Aside from being a bit too tall, 180cm.
Xi Xingxue thought to herself.
After greeting each other, Shen Yu and Zhu Yuan fell silent. On the surface, they were all smiles and laughter, but inside they were extremely cold and indifferent. They exuded an aura of "kindred spirits" that did not attract each other.
The three stood facing each other, speechless for a moment.
Just as Xi Xingxue was pondering how to bring up the topic of Zhu Yuan choosing a husband.
Suddenly, the person who drives the plot appears.
Several deliberately hushed voices drifted over on the wind.
"Hey? Look over there! It's Zhu Yuan and Xi Xingxue! And that... the real young master Chen Yu whom the Xi family found!"
"Chen Yu? His surname is Chen? Why doesn't he have the surname Huixi?"
"Who knows? Why are you concerned about that? Shouldn't we be focusing on why those three are standing there?"
"Don't you know the relationship between the three of them? They're probably at odds."
"I heard that Shen Yu and Zhu Yuan were betrothed when they were still in the womb, but Shen Yu was later lost, and the betrothal fell to Xi Xingxue."
"Now that Shen Yu has returned, who do you think should be the one to arrange this childhood betrothal?"
Xi Xingxue picked at her ear. Ah, these people are great. They successfully explained what they needed to do.
