Zhu Tingyue upstairs had heard the voices below. It seemed that Chen Yanqiu had come as well? What was he doing here?
With doubts in mind, Zhu Tingyue went downstairs.
Several people looked at her, but she ignored them and took an orange and peeled it.
She seldom peeled her nails before, a big part of the reason was that she had done a manicure, which made peeling very slow and inconvenient. But now she peeled one quickly.
The scene was strangely silent. Zhu Tingyue seemed unaware and handed a few peeled orange slices to Mrs. Shen: "Try it."
Mrs. Shen looked at the orange handed to her and the frank expression on "Chen Yanqiu's" face. She was in a trance for a moment. She hadn't eaten the orange peeled by Yan Zhen for her yet! But Chen Yanqiu handed it to her! No matter what she thought in her heart, she still took it.
"Here." She handed a few more petals to Chen Can. He was a guest and had to come first.
"Thank you!" Chen Can's impression of him improved a little bit, not because of the orange slices, but because of his attentiveness. In this respect, he was much better than Chen Yanzhen.
There were only a few petals left in her hand. Should she eat them herself or give them to Chen Yanqiu? She hesitated. Judging from Chen Yanqiu's performance today, it would be a waste to give him the orange peels. However, he was the only "woman" present. Everyone else had some, but he didn't. It was not good either.
After thinking it over, she handed over the last few orange slices: "Do you want to eat?"
She used a question, but Shen Yanqiu didn't like it! Why do you always use affirmative sentences when giving to others, but ask yourself? If you don't want to give, then don't give it. Who cares about a few orange slices?
"No, thank you!"
The answer was expected, and Zhu Tingyue felt relieved. After all, she had asked him and he didn't want it, so it wasn't her fault.
After eating the orange in a few bites, she peeled another one. She had almost digested the lunch, so she wanted to eat something to fill her stomach.
Mrs. Shen didn’t want to eat anymore, so when she saw her peeling again, she immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready. You guys talk for a while.”
Chen Yanzhen and Chen Can agreed, and as soon as she left, the scene became quiet again.
Chen Can looked at that, then looked at that, and always felt something was wrong.
Out of a woman's intuition, she felt that Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu seemed very familiar? The atmosphere between the two was too wrong, but didn't Shen Yanqiu just return to the Shen family? How did they know each other?
She had questions in her mind, but she couldn't ask them, so she might as well solve her own problems!
"Won't you take me on a tour?" She was asking Shen Yanzhen.
There are people sitting here! Why is she taking it for granted? Shen Yanzhen didn't understand her thoughts and instinctively refused: "No, it's nice here, there are many people and it's lively."
No need for Chen Can, Zhu Tingyue was about to get angry when he heard this, listen to this, is this human language? She wanted to go out with him alone, what did he say in reply?
Is it lively with many people? Yes, it is lively! We are all here to watch the fun.
As expected, Chen Can stopped talking and looked at Chen Yanzhen angrily. If she hadn't been concerned about the presence of others, she would have come over and punched Chen Yanzhen immediately.
"Can I take you for a walk?" Unable to bear seeing the beauty being wronged, Zhu Tingyue offered to take her for a walk.
No one present expected her to say that, and they all looked at her.
Zhu Tingyue was quite innocent: Chen Can was a great beauty, and it was fine if Chen Yanqiu ignored her, but Chen Yanqiu also spoke coldly to her. Why should she bear his anger? She just couldn't stand it!
"Okay!" Chen Can smiled again, but it was a little forced.
Following Chen Yanqiu to the yard, she didn't know what to say. The two were not familiar with each other, and they had only met twice, and they had spoken no more than five sentences, but he was able to help her out.
"Thank you!" She looked at Zhu Tingyue with eyes full of gratitude.
"It's nothing. I haven't seen this yard much. I want to thank you for enjoying the beautiful scenery with me!"
Chen Can relaxed his brows and smiled sweetly. A shallow dimple appeared on his round face and his clear eyes were filled with smiles.
Without Zhu Tingyue asking, she told the whole story of her relationship with Shen Yanzhen.
The two met in college. Chen Yanzhen was a celebrity in the medical school and the idol of all the girls.
Just like the plot in the novel, Chen Can made a bet with his friend that he could definitely catch up with him within three months. However, it has been two years now, and not only has he caught up with him, he hasn't even touched his hand!
Not only that, he also avoided me. After I finally caught him, he always found various excuses.
It's not that she hasn't thought about giving up, but once something is said, it's hard to take it back. She, Miss Chen, is a man of her words. No matter whether he agrees or not, she will pursue him first.
Zhu Tingyue didn't know what to say. After looking at her for a long time, he praised her: "You are really perseverant."
"It's not that I have the perseverance, it's just that it's been so long, I feel unwilling to give up when I think about it!" She scratched her head and answered embarrassedly.
"Have you ever thought about changing your target?"
"Change the target? Change who?" Chen Can never thought that it could be like this?
"A three-legged frog is hard to find, but is a two-legged man also hard to find? There are so many men in the world, who can't be replaced? Why do you have to hang yourself on this tree?" Zhu Tingyue shared his experience without reservation.
"Oh, I see! How about you?"
Chen Can slapped his head and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Ahem, Zhu Tingyue was frightened by her words. What was going on in her brain?
"No, I want you to change to someone else."
"It's the same for everyone. Don't you want to?"
Zhu Tingyue didn't want to discourage her, but she would never agree to it: "No, can't you find someone better? Find someone better than Chen Yanzhen, and make him angry to death."
"You're no worse than him!" Chen Can's tone was sincere and he was definitely not lying.
Even though she was not praising herself, Zhu Tingyue was still very happy. This proved that she had a good eye and that Chen Yanqiu still had some merits.
"That's true, but it can't be me." She admitted without hesitation, without any guilt.
"Can you tell me why?" Chen Can asked to get to the bottom of it.
"No reason."
"Humph, stop lying to me! Do you like Zhu Tingyue? I've seen it a long time ago, there's something wrong with you!"
She said something shocking, and Zhu Tingyue was really shocked: Chen Yanqiu likes her? No, it's her who likes Chen Yanqiu? How is it possible? They just broke up, and she is still willing to see Chen Yanqiu now, all because of the fact that their identities have been exchanged. If there is no such bond, she would have forgotten him long ago!
"You don't have to pretend to be surprised. I tell you, my eyes have seen too much. I see it clearly!"
What's going on? He can't even figure out his own business, and he's still talking about her? Zhu Tingyue was sure she was talking nonsense and ignored her.
Chen Can didn't care whether she believed it or not. She provided him with a new idea and he could start looking for a new target.
