The air was cold and the wind was blowing. The bicycle wheels made a slight sound as they moved across the asphalt road.
Zhou Yunwan put her hands in her pockets. The cold wind made her face red, and white air came out from her mouth and nose. She tilted her ear and listened attentively to the people around her talking.
Meng Shuchi has a lively and free-spirited personality. She is not only good at finding topics to chat, but also good at livening up a dull atmosphere. She can tell that the other party is asking about her in some way, but because she has no ill intentions, she will tell them a thing or two casually.
After chatting for a while, she couldn't help but tilt her head, her eyes passed Meng Shuchi's face, and slowly stopped on Shen Yanli beside him.
The expression on the man's face was unclear. His deep, dark eyes looked calmly ahead, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he looked tired, eye-catching, and distant, making people afraid to approach him.
After a while, he seemed to notice her gaze, moved his neck, and turned his head to look at her. He accurately caught her gaze and looked into her eyes.
The brief glances contained a variety of emotions. Before she had time to interpret them, she caught a glimpse of Meng Shuchi in front of her stopping. She had to retract her gaze and focus on him again.
When Meng Shuchi was chattering and was about to continue talking, Brother Shen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up: “We are here, you can go back.”
Meng Shuchi looked up and realized that he had unknowingly walked to the gate of the Shen family. It was still early, and he wanted to stay and play for a while before going back.
...
...
But when he met the cold expression of Second Brother Shen, the words on his lips took a detour. Somehow, Second Brother Shen was particularly disliked him today and never gave him a good look from beginning to end.
After thinking it over carefully, Meng Shuchi decided not to offend him, so as to avoid being scolded again, so he said goodbye reluctantly: "Then I will go back first, see you tomorrow."
Zhou Yunwan took the things hanging on the handlebars of his bicycle, smiled and waved goodbye to him: "See you tomorrow."
Seeing her smile, Meng Shuchi blushed again, looking back every few steps, as if he was reluctant to leave. Unfortunately, Brother Shen opened the door quickly with a clang, which scared him so much that he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Zhou Yunwan was pushed by Chen Yanli and walked a few steps inside in a daze. She glanced at him suspiciously and couldn't help but turned her head back. It was just such a subtle movement, but she didn't know how it offended Chen Yanli.
He suddenly leaned sideways to block her from behind, covering the iron door, and said in a hoarse and deep voice: "Don't look outside."
At such a close distance, she could look at his face unscrupulously by just raising her eyes slightly. He lowered his head with a high nose bridge, and his hair on his forehead was a little messy due to the cold wind, half covering his dark and narrow eyes, so she couldn't see the emotions in them.
But she just knew that he was a little unhappy now.
As for why she was unhappy, she thought she knew the reason.
Zhou Yunwan crossed her arms and suddenly laughed softly. Her delicate eyes and eyebrows became brighter. After a long while, she tilted her head to stop laughing and looked at him seriously and said, "Who said I wanted to look outside? I wanted to see you."
As she spoke, the beautiful lines of her lips opened and closed, unconsciously revealing the arc of interest.
Chen Yanli knew that she said this on purpose. Lately, she seemed to always like to say such words that messed up his thoughts, as if she was teasing him, but also with the innocent cuteness of a young girl who was ignorant and unaware of herself.
But the object of her teasing was him, and he couldn't tell her directly because her behavior was extremely likely to be misunderstood. It was fine for him, but if she used the same trick on others, any man would fall for it.
When he thought about her using such tricks on other men, such as Meng Shuchi, he felt vaguely unhappy. This feeling was like a sense of crisis that one had sensed in advance that the good cabbages in his garden were about to be eaten by pigs.
She is still young and immature when it comes to relationships. As her brother, he has to keep an eye on her and not let her get too close to other men.
Shen Yanli found a good reason for his behavior, lowered his eyes and looked away, and said in a cold tone: “Look down at the road.”
"Be careful not to fall."
At first Zhou Yunwan didn't understand what he meant, until he added a sentence, then she turned her head and looked down. There were several separated stone slabs among the withered grass. If she didn't pay attention, she might really fall.
"Oh." She was instantly upset. She thought he was secretly jealous, but it turned out that she was just thinking too much.
Seeing the frustrated expression of not succeeding in his trick, the corners of Shen Yanli's mouth hidden in the scarf slightly raised two points, "Go in, remember to go back to the room to check the injury on your calf."
Zhou Yunwan glanced at him resentfully and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a slap and a sweet date, right?" But she was very touched by his concern, her mood improved visibly, and she said "Oh" again.
The ending tone is upturned, which is charming and lovely.
The curve of Shen Yanli's mouth also deepened a lot.
“By the way, this is for you.” Zhou Yunwan handed the packaging bag in her hand to Shen Yanli.
After Shen Yanli took it, she found that they were two silk handkerchiefs, a pen and ink. A hint of surprise flashed across her brows, and then she realized the purpose of her return just now, which was to buy him a return gift.
He wanted to refuse, but Zhou Yunwan spoke before him: "Use it well."
Shen Yanli stared at her smiling face, pursed his lips and said, “I will.”
After entering the house, Chen Yanli helped her put the things she bought into the room. The bought fabrics were given to Aunt Wang to find a special tailor to make two sets of winter clothes and two sets of spring clothes. The face wipes were placed in the desk, and as for other daily necessities bought, they were temporarily placed in the wardrobe or drawer.
After cleaning up for a while, she remembered Chen Yanli's reminder in the yard, sat down and lifted up her trouser legs. She wore thick clothes in winter, and she wore a pair of fleece autumn pants inside today. The collision was not serious, not even the skin was broken, just a small area was a little swollen and bruised.
The exposed skin felt cold, and after a quick glance, she wanted to pull down her trouser legs. However, just as she was halfway through the action, the half-closed door was opened from the outside.
Chen Yanli's eyes flashed, and he saw only a piece of snow-white skin exposed in the air, and he stopped suddenly.
The movement of pushing the door stopped in mid-air and he looked away awkwardly.
"I'm sorry." He said in a low voice.
Zhou Yunwan had already lowered her trouser legs. For comfort, she sat on the bed with her hands behind her back and shrugged nonchalantly: "It's okay. Didn't you ask me to see what happened to your calves?"
She remembered that she forgot to close the door, and it was wide open. Even if he didn't come in, he could see it. It was just a part of her calf. There were many people wearing short skirts in summer. It wasn't like she was naked, so there was nothing to be pretentious about.
But he seemed to be a little bothered by his behavior of walking in without knocking, and his face looked a little uncomfortable.
After returning home, he took off his heavy coat and scarf. Now he was only wearing a black sweater, with a piece of white shirt collar showing at his neck. He had his hair combed again, and it fell softly and naturally on his forehead. He looked more scholarly.
In order to break the awkwardness, Zhou Yunwan looked at what he was holding in his hand, slightly parted her red lips, and took the initiative to start a conversation: "What are you holding in your hand?"
He left and came back, he must have something to ask her.
