"sister in law?"
"Ah, you're done washing!" Hearing the voice, Lin Shuyue turned around and smiled slightly at him.
Ye Yun closed the door, somewhat confused, and walked towards her, asking, "What are you doing in my room? Is something wrong?"
"What do you think? Didn't you promise to play games with me tonight? How could you forget so quickly?" Lin Shuyue rolled her eyes at him and said.
Ye Yun suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Look at my brain."
Lin Shuyue sat up and snorted, "Hmph, I thought you were going to say you were joking!"
"How could that be? I told you to play games, and I meant it. I just didn't expect you to be this serious."
"Of course I'm serious. I'm bored at home every day, and we don't have much in common. If I learn to play games, I can talk to you more in the future," Lin Shuyue said earnestly.
Her behavior was just like that of a girl in love, learning what the person she liked would like in order to communicate with him and deepen their feelings.
Ye Yun scratched his head and said, "Actually, you don't need to. If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk or watch some short videos."
"I know, I've really become obsessed with short videos lately, and I've learned a lot of... uh... useful knowledge from them." Speaking of knowledge, Lin Shuyue couldn't help but blush.
"But I also want to try playing games and see if they're really that fun."
Seeing how serious she was, Ye Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll download the game for you first!"
Ye Yun took the phone and downloaded the game for her. The download took a long time, and it needed to be updated, so the two of them waited in a rather awkward manner.
Lin Shuyue sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), swinging her feet. Ye Yun stood by the kang, looking around uncomfortably.
"Aren't you comfortable being alone with me?" Lin Shuyue asked.
"Oh, no."
"Then why do you look so uncomfortable, looking around like that? This is your room," Lin Shuyue complained.
"Uh..." Ye Yun didn't know how to explain for a moment.
Lin Shuyue rolled her eyes at him, patted the mattress and said, "Get on the kang. Standing there like a log is annoying to look at."
"Oh." With her permission, Ye Yun climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and sat down on the side.
"Sit closer, or I'll eat you up!" Lin Shuyue patted the person next to her and reminded them.
"Okay." Ye Yun moved over and sat down next to her.
There was still some distance between the two, but Lin Shuyue leaned right in and pressed herself tightly against Ye Yun's shoulder.
Ye Yun's heart tightened, and his whole body tensed up.
Lin Shuyue was no better. Her face flushed and her heart raced as she said, "All you do is avoid me all day long. I don't even have a chance to get close to you. Honestly."
"No way, I wasn't avoiding you," Ye Yun retorted.
"Hmph, you may not show it on the surface, but you do in your heart. You're definitely thinking about Su Yue. Is that woman really that great? She's completely bewitched you."
Faced with Lin Shuyue's inexplicable complaints, Ye Yun was left speechless and unable to explain his bitterness.
He did that partly for the sake of his family and his work, and partly because Su Yue was incredibly charming, but it was also something she did willingly.
However, Ye Yun knew that reasoning with an angry woman was useless; he had to calm her down first before having a proper conversation.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?" Ye Yun held Lin Shuyue's hand and sincerely apologized.
Lin Shuyue had only grumbled a little in her heart, but she didn't expect Ye Yun to actually apologize to her, which left her at a loss for how to deal with it.
“Actually… it’s not entirely your fault. You did it for this family, for me.” Lin Shuyue held Ye Yun’s hand tightly, gently rubbing his hand with her thumb, and said sourly, “And I have to admit, Su Yue… is indeed very charming.”
Ye Yun smiled faintly and comforted her, "Su Yue is very charming, but you are no less so. You are also very beautiful and charming."
"Really?" Lin Shuyue looked up at him excitedly and asked, "Then tell me, how much is she better than me? Where do I fall short of her?"
“Uh…you are different types of beauties, so it’s inappropriate to describe you as ‘different’ or ‘not as good as’.” Ye Yun analyzed seriously: “Su Yue is sexy, hot, and passionate. You are gentle, mature, and dignified. Your temperaments and characteristics are different.”
"Really? I see. Which one of us do you prefer?" Lin Shuyue pressed.
Faced with this crucial question, Ye Yun boldly answered, "I like them all."
"You're lying! Ever since I started learning skincare, makeup, and clothing from Su Yue, the way you look at me has changed. You clearly prefer her style," Lin Shuyue said angrily.
Ye Yun quickly explained, "No, you're wrong to think that way. Skincare, makeup, and dressing sexily aren't Su Yue's specialties; these are things every woman who pursues beauty should have. Everyone pursues beauty; you can't expect only specific people to pursue beauty, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyue suddenly realized, "That's right. Makeup and clothing are things that you can find online even without Su Yue. I'm only learning about the external aspects."
"That's right! You and she are different. If you really want to learn from her, you should learn from her fiery and open personality. That's what makes a person special. Wearing these things isn't unique. People all over the world pursue fashionable beauty. That's not a problem at all."
"Hot and sexy! Oh, so this is what you really like." Lin Shuyue realized.
Ye Yun raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Don't overthink it. People are different. You are not her, and there is no need for you to learn from her. Just be yourself. You... are already very good."
Every word struck a chord with Lin Shuyue. Every woman loves to hear these things; she doesn't want to follow others' paths and wants to conquer him with her own charm.
But thinking back, if I had relied on my own methods, there would have been no way I could have gotten this blockhead to take the bait.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.
"Hey, the game update is complete, we can start now." At this moment, Ye Yun picked up his phone and helped Lin Shuyue register an account and log into the game.
"Here, let's go through the tutorial first." Ye Yun handed the phone to Lin Shuyue.
"I...I don't know how," Lin Shuyue said awkwardly as she took the phone.
"It's okay, I'll teach you. It's just a beginner's tutorial, very simple."
Ye Yun began teaching Lin Shuyue a beginner's tutorial step by step. The two were very close to each other, getting closer and closer until Lin Shuyue was almost nestled in Ye Yun's arms.
