Shi Yan came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes.

"I'm leaving."

Sheng Yuan stood up at this time.

Shi Yan paused while wiping his hands with a tissue and asked, "How are you going back?"

Sheng Yuan: "The driver is downstairs."

"Okay." Shi Yan threw the paper ball he used to wipe his hands into the trash can, untied the knot of his apron behind his waist, and put the apron on the back of the chair: "I'll take you downstairs."

Shi Yan took the key from the shoe cabinet and opened the door. The dark corridor outside was lit up by voice-controlled lights.

"Meow."

Realizing that Sheng Yuan was about to leave, the white long-haired cat paced back and forth in panic, blocking Sheng Yuan's legs and crying pitifully.

Sheng Yuan squatted down, and it immediately took the opportunity to crawl into Sheng Yuan's arms.

"Be good." Sheng Yuan touched its chin, stroking the cat without looking up, and asked Shi Yan: "Did you give it a name?"

Shi Yan: “No.”

Ever since he adopted it, Shi Yan had no intention of giving it a name.

Taking a new name means changing to a new life and changing to a new owner.

Shi Yan never thought of himself as its owner.

——This is her cat.

Sheng Yuan said: "It's called Daman."

Because the kitten was picked up by Xiaoman, Sheng Yuan casually named it Daman.

As if he understood Sheng Yuan's words "Be good", Daman licked Sheng Yuan's hand reluctantly and got out of Sheng Yuan's arms.

…

Shi Yan walked behind Sheng Yuan.

The voice-controlled lights went out layer by layer, and then lit up again layer by layer, illuminating the figures of the two people, one tall and one short, flickering.

Soon we reached the first floor.

The driver parked the car in the parking lane at the entrance of the unit.

The night sky is starry and a cool breeze is blowing. Dots of light are shining through the residential buildings. The lights of thousands of homes are full of an old feel, and all kinds of small flying insects are jumping under the dim lampshades of the roadside street lamps.

Before getting in the car, Sheng Yuan turned around and said to Shi Yan, "I'm leaving."

Shi Yan: “Yeah.”

Sheng Yuan added: "I have to go back to Xiangyang District tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the last day of the exchange student program between Tengya Private School and Qingfeng No. 1 Middle School. After noon that day, the students of Tengya Private School will leave Qingfeng No. 1 Middle School together.

The twenty-day exchange period has officially ended.

Shi Yan: “I know.”

The young man lowered his eyelashes slightly, his sparse eyelashes covering half of his dark pupils, and he responded in a low voice.

There was silence between the two for a moment.

"Shi Yan."

Sheng Yuan suddenly called his name.

"I think your cooking is delicious. I want to come and eat next week."

The man who had drooped his eyelashes just now suddenly raised his head, as if doubting what he heard.

The young man stared at Sheng Yuan blankly, and did not give an answer for a long time.

Sheng Yuan: "Even if you can't..."

Shi Yan asked Sheng Yuan very seriously: "Really?"

"......?" Sheng Yuan was a little confused about how Shi Yan could answer this question with these three words. She was puzzled: "Could it be fake?"

Then.

Sheng Yuan saw Shi Yan smile.

The usually cold and silent boy rarely showed such emotions, so it was precisely because of this that he looked even more eye-catching.

He responded, "Of course."

Sheng Yuan looked at him.

Is cooking something that is enjoyable? …

Sheng Yuan got in the car and left. When the car drove to the gate of the community, a private car passed by Sheng Yuan's car——

In the driver's seat of a private car.

Yan Chengye couldn't help but look back several times, and couldn't help being surprised: "This is an old neighborhood like this, and you can still see luxury cars coming in and out. It's really a place full of hidden talents, don't you think, Qingyue?"

After Yan Chengye finished speaking, he didn't hear his daughter's words for a long time. He turned around and found that his daughter in the passenger seat was also looking in the direction where the Rolls-Royce had just left, with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Qingyue, what's wrong?"

"without."

Yan Qingyue withdrew her gaze, but the fingers at her side tightened.

She recognized it.

That car was the one Sheng Yuan often took to and from school.

Sheng Yuan, why is she here?

Hearing his daughter say that she was fine, Yan Chengye felt relieved. He sighed and started to think about business: "Hey, Shi Yan, he didn't even tell me he was sick. He lives alone and is still sick. I don't know how he is doing now."

Just now, Yan Chengye came to the school as usual to pick up Yan Qingyue after her evening class. As soon as Yan Qingyue got in the car, she mentioned that Shi Yan had taken a leave of absence today because of a cold.

Yan Chengye came over to the old house without saying a word, wanting to look after Shi Yan.

The car is almost downstairs.

From a distance, Yan Chengye saw Shi Yan's figure in front of the unit door.

…

After watching Sheng Yuan's car leave, Shi Yan was about to go upstairs to go home when he heard someone calling his name.

It was Yan Chengye who parked the car and came over: "Xiao Yan, I heard from Qingyue that you are sick. Do you want your uncle to take you to the hospital?"

Shi Yan first thanked him politely, and then said, "I've seen a doctor, and I'm fine."

"Xiao Yan, if you have any problems in the future, you should tell your uncle in time, okay? Don't always carry it by yourself." Yan Chengye looked at Shi Yan's usual state and knew that what Shi Yan said was true. He added: "I'm glad you're okay. Qingyue was also very worried just now, and kept asking me to come and see you."

Yan Qingyue was standing nearby. She was wearing Qingfeng's uniform school uniform and had her hair tied in a ponytail, revealing a pretty face.

She looked at Shi Yan, her tone hesitant and tentative, her voice soft: "Shi Yan...it's so late, why are you still outside?"

Yan Chengye was also puzzled by this question and asked the same question.

Shi Yan never looked at Yan Qingyue from beginning to end. Not caring about his junior status, he replied to Yan Chengye calmly, "Send my friend downstairs."

Yan Chengye looked surprised and delighted. He had always thought that Shi Yan was a lonely child, but now he had made friends. He was happy for Shi Yan and kept saying that it was good to make friends. He did not notice that his daughter's face had turned pale.

Yan Qingyue's guess came true.

Sheng Yuan really came here to find Shi Yan.

These days Yan Qingyue has heard that Sheng Yuan is distancing herself from Shi Yan and is very cold towards him.

Shi Yan’s act of turning a blind eye made Yan Qingyue bite her lip in embarrassment.

If Shi Yan treated Yan Qingyue as an ordinary classmate before, with whom he did not dislike but also could not become close, then ever since Yan Qingyue told Shi Yan about Sheng Yuan's study at Tengya Private School, Yan Qingyue could clearly feel that Shi Yan's indifference towards her was even colder than that towards a stranger.

And why did Sheng Yuan treat Shi Yan like this, but Shi Yan still wanted to be with Sheng Yuan.

But that was the proud Shi Yan. Even if someone gave him the cold shoulder, he would still run to the infirmary to treat that person's wound and send him back to the classroom.

…

One day, Shi Yan will realize that Sheng Yuan can only bring him harm.

Yan Qingyue was so sure in her heart.
