Chapter 9 009 "I like you the most ^^"
Shen Yu felt like he was seeing a ghost.
He was prepared to apologize to Shen Yi for days, even though it was such a big deal, but he never expected to see his younger sister humming a song and happily entering the house, as if the previous conflict had never existed.
Shen Yu initially thought it was his death knell, and before he could swallow his pride and apologize, Shen Yi waved his hand and forgave him: "Alright, I know, I forgive you, but don't let it happen again. Goodnight! I'm going to sleep!"
Shen Yu: "..."
Although I don't know what happened, it must be related to Wen Que.
Hearing the news from the capital.
His God!
Shen Yu was moved to tears, and he made up his mind that he would only acknowledge Wen Que as his brother-in-law for the rest of his life.
＊
On the bed.
Shen Yi rolled around several times, but finally covered her face with the blanket.
Hey!
hey-hey!
Wen Que confessed his feelings to her! That was a confession! He said he liked her!
Shen Yi was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she got up and sent a message to Meng Zihan.
Of course, she was too embarrassed to go into the details, and only told the result.
Meng Zihan replied almost instantly.
That's normal. Who wouldn't like you? It just means there's nothing wrong with his eyes.
Shenyi sent a cute emoji.
【You're making me feel embarrassed! (Kiss)】
I didn't say anything wrong.
【Our Yiyi is the gentlest, most beautiful, most generous, and cutest girl in the world. We love you the most! ^^】
Shen Yi covered her face.
Even though I knew this statement was heavily filtered through the lens of friendship, I still couldn't help but feel flattered by the compliment.
That's what good friends are like.
Even though she does have some minor flaws objectively, she knows that in Meng Zihan's eyes she is the most perfect person.
So he replied with a sigh.
I like you the most! I like you the most!!!
Meng Zihan replied quickly.
【oh? 】
Do you like me more than you like Wen Que?
This was a difficult problem, and Shen Yi thought about it carefully for a while.
Before today, she had never dared to imagine that Wen Que actually liked her.
In Shen Yi's view, she was only a good match for Wen Que in terms of social status, which is why she became his fiancée.
Wen Que simply accepted the arranged marriage by his family, nothing more.
If Wen Que hasn't met a girl he truly likes by a certain age, he's willing to marry her and start a family, because he shouldn't dislike her.
Shen Yi has always thought so.
So she foolishly prayed in her heart that no outstanding or perfect girl would suddenly appear and steal Wen Que's attention.
All she wanted was to live a peaceful and stable life, grow up a bit more, and then marry Wen Que as she wished—that was all.
But what if something unexpected happens?
Wen Que is such an outstanding person, he deserves the best girl in the world. If he really likes her, she can also withdraw her blessings with tears in her eyes.
After all, she didn't want to be a miserable couple with the person she liked!
Shen Yi had always thought this way, so she was actually able to accept that Wen Que was not in her future.
but.
She never imagined that one day she would separate from Meng Zihan.
Meng Zihan is her most important friend in this life.
There will be no other.
After careful consideration.
He replied with deep thought.
Yes! I like you the most! I like you even more than I like Wen Que ^^
＊
The Meng family.
Looking at the message on the screen, Meng Zihan was stunned for a long time before looking away in surprise.
Because she knew that Shen Yi would not lie to her.
Meng Zihan's gaze fell on a pair of ornaments on the table.
They were a pair of somewhat abstract ceramic ornaments that were neither particularly beautiful nor ugly. They were made by Miss Shen, who was always pampered and never lifted a finger, and she spent several hours kneading the clay and firing them herself.
There was a pile of mud on the ground. Shen Yi was covered in dirt but didn't bother to wipe it off. She proudly held up the mud and took a picture of her to show off, just because she said she liked it.
Her elders have complained more than once that she is a perfect person, whose only flaw is that she occasionally does some outrageous things with the impulsive eldest daughter of the Shen family.
The Meng family is a scholarly family and has always been proud of cultivating well-educated and virtuous young ladies. Her parents had also subtly suggested that she reduce her contact with Shen Yi.
But for Meng Zihan...
She felt most free and happiest when she was with Shen Yi.
＊
I woke up from a nap.
Okay, actually I was so excited that I didn't get much sleep at all until late at night.
Shen Yi woke up with dark circles under her eyes, not even bothering to eat breakfast. She sat at the table and fiddled with concealer for a long time before finally covering up the blemishes and putting on a fake no-makeup makeup look.
Shen Yu looked up at the road and shouted, "Hey! If you're not leaving, I'm leaving too!"
Shen Yi then realized it was getting late and quickly went downstairs, saying, "I'll go with you!"
We arrived at the classroom.
He patted his slightly flat stomach and pondered deeply about buying some bread to fill his stomach after class.
Suddenly.
The chair next to him was dragged away, and a sandwich and corn juice appeared on the table.
"Wow--!"
Shen Yi's eyes lit up, and he eagerly opened the package and took a bite, his cheeks stuffed full. He exclaimed cheerfully, "It's ham! Song Yang, how did you know I didn't have breakfast!"
"It's because I sent a message to Auntie last night, but someone left. I didn't want to waste it, so I brought it over. It's not for you."
As Song Yang spoke, his gaze fell on Shen Yi's ravenous eating, and he asked with some disdain, "What's wrong? Isn't Wen Que feeding you?"
Shen Yi, not understanding, asked while taking a big bite of her sandwich, "What does Guan Wenque want?"
"Cough cough."
Song Yang coughed awkwardly and turned his face away, saying, "Didn't you go to the Wen family last night?"
Based on his understanding of Shen Yi, he knew she probably didn't want to see Shen Yu for a while after their argument.
If they don't go back to the Shen family, then they can only go to the Wen family.
"ha?"
Shen Yi thought about Wen Que's mother's stern face and shook her head desperately to express her rejection: "I'm afraid of his mother, let's not do it."
That's terrifying.
Wen Que's mother was more than twice as rigid and serious as her father, and was the person Shen Yi feared most, without exception.
Over the years, Shen Yi has avoided seeing Wen Que's mother whenever possible, because she is truly afraid.
In front of Wen Que's mother, she had to act dignified and gentle to ensure that no faults were found on her, but she was often still nitpicked and found fault with.
Each meeting lasted only a few hours. A week in advance, she would nervously seek out Meng Zihan for intensive training as a well-bred young lady, and it would take her several days to recover from the exhaustion afterward.
And I don't know if it's just my imagination.
She always felt that Wen's mother seemed dissatisfied with her as her future daughter-in-law, and her attitude towards her seemed particularly bad.
Shen Yu had said about this a long time ago: "...With you standing like that, not standing properly, not sitting properly, and swallowing a cake in one gulp, it's no wonder she'd treat you well."
Shen Yi retorted, unconvinced: "I'm much better than you!"
At this moment, Shen Yu grinned foolishly, showing off his bright white teeth: "So what? I'm not marrying her daughter, so why should she tell me what to do! Hahaha!"
At times like these, Shen Yi would be speechless and could only angrily punch Shen Yu (avoiding the version with Wen Que's mother).
But I can understand Chen Yi's feelings.
If she had a son as outstanding as Wen Que, and he were to be with someone like her, she probably wouldn't be very friendly.
I don't know why.
But Shen Yi noticed that Song Yang's expression had clearly improved after she finished speaking.
Shen Yi glared fiercely at Song Yang.
He's happy that she cowered like that in front of Wen's mother, isn't he?
Song Yang: "...?"
Did he upset her again? No, I don't think so.
Absolutely not.
They looked at each other for a few seconds.
Song Yang chose to lie down and sleep after handing in his homework.
Shen Yi: "???"
Did he do his homework last night? Wow.
＊
Long break between classes.
Perhaps because she only learned of Wen Que's feelings for her yesterday, Shen Yi felt a little embarrassed to see him so soon. She also unusually refrained from going to find Meng Zihan and instead went into a convenience store to buy some milk and snacks before heading to class.
On the way, she encountered Jiang Yue walking towards her.
Shen Yi instinctively wanted to look away, but the other person waved and called her name first.
Shen Yi asked in a polite yet distant tone, "Is there something you need?"
Jiang Yue was a little surprised, but after realizing that Shen Yi didn't seem to want to talk to her, she still smiled and said, "I wanted to tell you that I am very grateful to you and your brother, not only yesterday, but also before."
"You should have thanked him in person already, there's no need to say it again."
Shen Yi paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, he's a kind-hearted person who loves to be in the limelight. He'll definitely go if he gets the chance to be a hero and save a damsel in distress, so you don't need to worry about it too much."
"...I understand."
Sensing Shen Yi's indifference, Jiang Yue seemed somewhat frustrated and didn't say anything more. She simply took out a cardboard box from behind her back and handed it to Shen Yi, saying, "If you don't mind, please try the dessert I made. It's also a token of my appreciation."
I really wanted to refuse.
But when her gaze pierced through the transparent layer on the cardboard box and she saw a brown sugar pearl cake inside, which looked like it even had cheese, she really couldn't take her eyes off it.
Shen Yi swallowed hard.
She was secretly furious.
I hate my own useless mouth.
And Jiang Yue... how does she know what I like? Song Yang must have told her last time.
Thinking about this...
Shen Yi closed her eyes and made up her mind.
She first took the small cake from Jiang Yue, then took out most of the snacks and milk from her bag and stuffed them into Jiang Yue's arms, her attitude very clear—
This is an exchange!
She didn't take things from people for nothing!
Jiang Yue burst out laughing.
She tilted her head and exclaimed sincerely, "Chen Yi, you're so cute!"
Don't think you can win me over with sweet talk!
Shen Yi remained firm in her refusal.
noon.
canteen.
Shen Yi first looked around to make sure Jiang Yue wasn't there before taking out the cake with a guilty conscience.
Meng Zihan asked in surprise, "When and where did you buy it?"
Shen Yi answered softly, "...Jiang Yue gave it to me."
Meng Zihan was a little surprised and was about to ask something when she saw the brown sugar pearls on the cake and her eyes narrowed in exasperation.
Well, it turns out it's something so irresistible.
There's nothing we can do about that.
Three minutes later.
Shen Yi forcefully shoved a bite of cake into Meng Zihan's mouth, his eyes filled with tears as he exclaimed, "...Unbelievable, how can it be so delicious?"
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
Even after being stored for so long, the pearls haven't lost their chewiness, and the sweetness is just right—not cloying at all. This is simply a perfect work of art!
I spent the whole afternoon agonizing over it.
School ends in the evening.
While dawdling and packing his things, Shen Yi kept glancing at Jiang Yue with his eyes.
Jiang Yue was very clever and naturally realized that Shen Yi had something to say to her, so she slowed down her pace.
The students left one after another.
Only they remained in the classroom.
Jiang Yue raised her head and looked in the direction of Shen Yi.
Shen Yi also looked at her.
Their eyes met.
Shen Yi bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, finally unable to hold back any longer, and cried out, "Could you please bring me another cake tomorrow? I can pay you... no, I can trade you Song Yang's secret!!!"
Jiang Yue: "?"
Song Yang's secret?
Why should she care about such things?
But before Jiang Yue could even ask her question, Shen Yi had already run away because she felt ashamed to make such a request.
Like a kitten that suddenly appears and then disappears.
So cute.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but think this, and the corners of her lips turned up slightly.
It was somewhat similar to the scene when she first met Shen Yi.
Shen Yi appeared suddenly in her life and then disappeared just as suddenly.
＊
Although Jiang Yue didn't understand why she needed to know Song Yang's secret, she still brought the same small cake as yesterday to Shen Yi the next day.
The two didn't exchange a single word, yet they tacitly appeared at the same spot from yesterday during the long break between classes.
After meeting Jiang Yue's expectant face, Shen Yi silently apologized to Song Yang in her heart.
Song Yang's secret?
She knows so much, which one should I choose to talk about...?
It just doesn't feel right to say.
I hesitated for a while.
Shen Yi looked up: "Can I tell you Song Yang's preferences instead?"
Jiang Yue: "..."
She finally found her chance and said, "It's possible, but..."
But why would she need to know such a thing?
Shen Yi didn't give her a chance to say "but" and immediately said, "Song Yang's favorite color is gold. He not only dyed his hair that color, but he also has a glittering gold dragon robe nightgown at home!"
After speaking, Shen Yi looked at Jiang Yue with expectant eyes.
Seeing that the other person seemed to be standing there in a daze, Chenyi resigned himself to his fate.
All right.
She knew that this information wasn't enough to get that delicious brown sugar pearl cake.
Then Shen Yi launched into a long explanation: "Song Yang's favorite fruit is bananas because they're the easiest to eat without washing them; his favorite thing to watch is cartoons, probably because he's a bit childish; his favorite movie is..."
As they were talking, Shen Yi suddenly noticed that Jiang Yue's expression had become very strange.
Shen Yi was also at a loss, thinking that Jiang Yue wasn't interested in what he was saying, so he could only hand over the conversation to Jiang Yue: "Never mind, ask whatever you want to know."
A voice, tinged with suppressed emotion, rang out.
"Really? You know everything about Song Yang?"
"More or less..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yi finally realized the problem.
Shen Yi slowly turned around and followed Jiang Yue's gaze to look behind him.
Under the sunlight.
The boy's blond hair seemed to be standing on end with anger, and he looked at her with a forced smile.
