Zhou Yunwan didn't notice his strangeness at all, nor did she think that her action caused a misunderstanding. She thought he was deliberately ignoring her, puffed up her cheeks, and gritted her teeth: "Brother Yanli, can you pass me a tissue?"
In order not to arouse Shen Dewen's suspicion, she softened her tone. From the sound of her voice, it was impossible to tell that she was glaring at Shen Yanli angrily at the moment.
But Shen Yanli didn't even look at her, he just helped her get the tissue on the other end of the table, he didn't notice her expression at all, so her anger was expressed in the air.
Seeing that Guo Yulin had come out with the bowl in his hand, she had no choice but to hide her hands that were originally on the table under the table, quietly moved to the side, groped and touched his thigh, and gently pinched his soft flesh.
Shen Yanli's body froze, but he could only pretend to be calm. His expression was cold and steady, but there was also a hint of uncontrollable panic hidden in it.
He didn't expect that she would be so bold. It was not enough for her to tease him with her feet in front of his parents, but she even dared to touch his thigh openly. How could this be the ideological awareness that a lesbian should have?
What's even worse is that the little hand has a tendency to move further inside to knead and rub...
His Adam's apple unconsciously slid up and down twice, and before she made a bigger mistake, he quickly reached out and held her small hand, holding it tightly in his palm, narrowing his black eyes and glancing at her with a warning look.
The two people's eyes collided in the air, entangled ambiguously.
...
...
Seeing that he finally looked at her, Zhou Yunwan breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know why he suddenly held her hand, and held it so tightly, so tightly that her bones were numb...
But now was not the time to pursue this, so she secretly gave him a look while wiping her mouth with a tissue, and reminded him with her mouth: Help me eat.
Shen Yanli was stunned when he saw the meaning. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized something. The tips of his ears heated up uncontrollably and almost turned red.
It turns out that she wasn't seducing him, but wanted his help.
At this time, Guo Yulin came back from the kitchen. Zhou Yunwan quickly withdrew her hand, pretended nothing had happened, gently pushed her hair behind her ears, and revealed a beautiful smile.
Chen Yanli appeared calmer than Zhou Yunwan, but he was actually not calm inside. He reached out to grab the kettle to pour water but accidentally poured too much. The water overflowed from the cup and wet the tablecloth. He had to wipe it with a tissue.
Guo Yulin took the bowl and sat down again. She glanced at Shen Yanli, who was rarely irritable. Although she felt strange, she did not find anything unusual. She turned her attention to the pot of chicken soup. She helped everyone get a bowl of chicken and placed it in front of each person in turn.
"Come on, Xiaowan, try it."
Her warm and friendly smile made it hard to refuse. Zhou Yunwan smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Shen Yanli was unable to take care of himself, she could only bite the bullet and pick up a piece of meat with chopsticks. It was indeed soft and rotten, and the flesh came off with a slight poke of the chopsticks.
But she really couldn't eat any more. After taking a bite, she felt her stomach churning.
As a last resort, she could only tell the truth: "Aunt Guo, I might really eat..."
Before he finished speaking, a big hand came over and said, "Give it to me."
Zhou Yunwan glanced at the other bowl full of chicken in front of him, looking embarrassed, and reminded him tactfully: "Can you eat so much?" The implication was that he should not force himself to eat so as to avoid waste.
Shen Yanli remained calm and said sternly, "It's time to eat."
He was tall and big, so his appetite should be much bigger than hers. Maybe he was not just showing off. Zhou Yunwan blinked her eyes and expressed her gratitude in a soft voice: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"..." Guo Yulin, who was standing by, saw this scene, slowly came to his senses, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Why does she feel there is still hope for these two people?
After dinner, Guo Yulin took Zhou Yunwan to visit the house where she would live for a long time in the future.
The first floor is used as a leisure area, with a living room, kitchen, study, etc. There is also a nanny room and a small yard for rest, so there are many places to move around.
The second floor is the resting area for the Shen family. There is a public resting area in the middle connected to the balcony, with tables and chairs for resting. The view is bright and open. The first room you see after going up the stairs is the room of Shen Yanli's eldest brother Shen Yanxiang.
Chen Yanxiang is thirty years old. Due to work reasons, he was sent to work in Hai City and only comes back during the holidays. This room is now occupied by his wife Wu Yi, and their son lives next door. They bought a bunk bed, which is enough for the two brothers to live in.
Further inside is the master bedroom of Guo Yulin and Shen Dewen, which is the largest and most comfortable.
Passing through the rest area, you can see three doors. The innermost one is the bathroom, the one on the left is Chen Yanli's room, and the one on the right is her room. The two doors are facing each other and very close to each other.
Pushing open the door and walking in, the room was very tidy. There was a large wardrobe on the left side of the entrance door, and next to it was a simple bed. The sheets and curtains were complementary lotus pink. There was a set of wooden tables and chairs by the window, where one could work and study.
Clean, spacious and comfortable, it is incomparable to Zhou Yunwan’s “room” in Dahe Village.
The former is heaven and the latter is hell.
At this time, Guo Yulin said, "No one lived in this room before, and the furniture is rather simple, so I redecorated it. I don't know if you like it."
"I like it, I like it very much." Zhou Yunwan nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that she really liked him, Guo Yulin's uneasy mood finally calmed down. He took her hand and sat down on the bed, and continued: "Xiao Wan, auntie will tell you about our family situation now, so that you can have an idea."
"There aren't many people in our family. Usually, it's just me and your uncle at home. We have to go to work during the day and spend most of our time in the army. We only come back in the afternoon. If you have anything to say, just tell your Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang, the live-in nanny, is a distant relative of Guo Yulin's maternal family. She is a widow who lost her husband many years ago and has difficulty supporting herself with her daughter. Guo Yulin felt sorry for her and kept her as a live-in nanny, and it has been more than ten years.
"Also, Yanli also lives here, in the room across from you, but he doesn't stay at home for long. He's at the institute four days a week and at Huaqing University two days a week. He only comes back on Saturdays to have dinner with us."
"From now on, we are like a family. Please don't be polite to me."
Guo Yulin patted the back of her hand earnestly and spoke in a gentle tone that made Zhou Yunwan want to cry. The two of them talked about a lot of their inner thoughts. Faced with the care of a female elder, she couldn't help but think of her mother in her previous life, who also patted the back of her hand and comforted her gently.
Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but let down her guard and revealed her plan: "Because of my uncle and aunt, I was forced to drop out of school in my second year of high school. I especially miss and cherish the days of going to school. I want to learn more knowledge, find a good job in the future, and repay you and Uncle Shen."
She asked tentatively: "Aunt Guo, can you help me find a school where I can continue my studies?"
