Chapter 152 So well-behaved, like a completely different person.
Yu Yan didn't sleep well that night.
I feel dizzy and lightheaded when I wake up in the morning.
After changing her clothes and coming out of the room, she saw Shao Muyan coming out of the bathroom after washing up. His face was damp, and his hair was half wet. He looked incredibly handsome.
When their eyes met, Shao Muyan noticed the dark circles under Yu Yan's eyes and felt a sense of expected helplessness.
"Shall we skip the run today?"
Yu Yan replied very decisively, "Run."
She needs to go out for some fresh air and clear her head.
Soon the two changed into their sportswear and started running on the mountain path, accompanied by the morning breeze and dew.
Yu Yan ran around exceptionally fast today, and Shao Muyan followed not far behind her. Watching her run forward with a tense face, he felt both heartache and admiration.
What a stubborn girl.
Yu Yan led Shao Muyan and ran for a full two miles, until they were almost out of breath and covered in sweat.
On the way back, she couldn't run anymore. Every step she took was painful and she could only gasp for air. Yu Yan pinched her ribs, her face pale, and waved her hand: "I can't, I've got a stitch."
"No rush, let's take it slow."
Shao Muyan helped her to a big tree. Looking around, there was nowhere to sit. After thinking for a moment, he simply turned his back to her and said, "Get on, I'll carry you."
"No need." Yu Yan shrank back beside the tree, politely declining, "I can rest by myself for a while."
Uncle Yan had been running around with her for half a day and was quite tired, so we couldn't let him carry her anymore.
"Come on." Without saying a word, Shao Muyan grabbed Yu Yan's wrist, hoisted her onto his back, and lifted her up by her legs.
Yu Yan's body stiffened, "Uncle Yan..."
"Don't worry." Shao Muyan turned his head slightly and smiled gently at her: "I have great stamina, I can carry you."
He lifted the person up a little more and sighed, "You're too light."
Yu Yan dared not move.
Uncle Yan's back... feels so good.
He was tall and had a steady gait. Lying on his back, there was no bumpy feeling, only an indescribable sense of security.
Like a small boat, it swayed gently.
Thinking of this, Yu Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then leaned closer to him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Shao Muyan stumbled and his whole body stiffened.
The soft touch on my back is so noticeable.
Yu Yan climbed up and snuggled against his back... like a kitten.
It tickled his heart.
"Uncle Yan," Yu Yan called out softly.
Shao Muyan turned his head slightly: "Hmm?"
Yu Yan gently bit her lip. "Thank you."
Shao Muyan was taken aback, then chuckled, "Why are you suddenly being so polite? What are you thanking me for?"
Yu Yan thought for a moment and said very honestly, "It's too much... I can't thank you enough."
"oh?"
Shao Muyan asked knowingly, "Am I really that good?"
Um.
You are fine.
It's really good.
But Yu Yan knew that Uncle Yan wouldn't accept her "nice guy" card, and she didn't want to offer dry words of thanks.
"I'm sorry," Yu Yan suddenly apologized again.
Shao Muyan seemed to know what she was going to say, and stopped in his tracks, waiting.
Yu Yan placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned forward slightly. "Uncle Yan... I'd like to ask you to move back in, is that alright?"
That question came out of sheer guilt.
Yu Yan's heart was pounding, and she was even prepared for Uncle Yan to be unhappy, turn his back on her, and throw her off his back. Her face was stiff with nervousness.
Shao Muyan glanced at her dismissively and said arrogantly, "If you tell me to go back, I'll just go back. Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
Yu Yan: "..."
This sentence was completely unexpected.
Shao Muyan turned his head and continued to carry her forward.
Yu Yan glanced at him and keenly noticed the slight upturn of Uncle Yan's lips, which calmed her uneasy heart.
She tentatively asked, "Then, shall I visit Zhuge Liang three times?"
Shao Muyan thought for a moment and said very seriously, "There's no need for three visits. One visit will suffice."
—If you come to pick me up, I'll go back.
Yu Yan understood the implication, and a smile crept onto her lips. "Okay!"
The problem was solved, and the two of them smiled happily.
I felt much more relaxed.
For the rest of the journey, Yu Yan didn't let Shao Muyan carry her anymore; once she was out of breath, she walked on her own.
Although we were delayed on the way and it was still early when we got back to the courtyard, I didn't expect that both little ones were already up.
Xiang Chu was clearly still a little sleepy and drowsy. Under Shao Yun's direction, she washed her face and rubbed her cheeks with a towel, her actions very down-to-earth.
For some reason, Yu Yan felt that Xiang Chu had changed a lot.
Perhaps it was because he had been in contact with Shao Yun a lot, and he was influenced by his surroundings.
Just then, Xiang Chu suddenly looked in her direction, paused only slightly, and then called out in a clear voice, "Mom!"
"..."
Yu Yan was stunned by his shout.
Xiang Chu, however, seemed to have suddenly gained some energy. Without saying a word, he rushed over and hugged her, tilting his head back and grinning at her: "You're back! Did you go to exercise? Are you tired?"
Yu Yan: "..."
Everyone was stunned by Xiang Chu's performance.
This is like the foolish son of a landlord...
Shao Yun sighed softly. It seemed that the medicine he administered yesterday was potent enough, but perhaps too potent.
Xiang Chu didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. After all, he wanted to "perform well," and his brother had said that he couldn't just talk the talk; he had to take concrete actions.
So he became exceptionally attentive.
Not only did she set the table with Shao Yun, but she also shouted "Wait!" when Yu Yan walked over.
Then she pulled out a chair for her mother and held out her little hand, saying, "Mom, please sit down."
...This is so startling.
Yu Yan sat down with a blank expression.
Xiang Chu then invited her great-grandfather, great-grandmother, Uncle Shao, and brother to sit down before finally sitting down herself, behaving so obediently that she seemed like a completely different person.
Shao Muyan looked at Shao Yun and asked, "Did you cast a spell on your brother?"
"without."
Shao Yun shook his head and said calmly, "I just gave them a beating."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chu again. The little guy had been disciplined and seemed quite happy. He took the osmanthus cake that Shao Yun handed him without any suspicion and ate it.
"Mmm, delicious!"
Yu Yan was the one who was least comfortable with Xiang Chu's behavior. When had she ever seen him so lively and enthusiastic in front of her?
This left Yu Yan completely at a loss as to how to handle the situation.
No one knows how Shao Yun dealt with Xiang Chu, but he was practically glued to Yu Yan's side all day. Whenever Yu Yan wanted to get something, he would immediately shove it into her hand as soon as she reached out.
Of course, none of these were what she really wanted...
But Xiang Chu was indeed extremely attentive and diligent.
Yu Yan's face remained largely expressionless as she simply asked him, "What do you want to do?"
Xiang Chu looked at her expectantly and said sincerely, "Please forgive me, Mom. Look at my performance!"
