Chapter 8 008 Caring, Jealousy, and Being Jealous.
But the next second, the reality check came too quickly.
A cheerful voice rang out from behind him; Shen Yi hadn't noticed when he had gone downstairs.
"Hey—?! Wen Que! You've come to pick me up? Then I'll go home with you!"
Song Yang: "..."
＊
at last.
All the lights were turned on, and Wen Que sat down on the Song family's sofa.
Song Yang scoffed, "It's so late. If you go back and have another fight with Shen Yu, are you even going to sleep tonight?"
Thinking of Shen Yu, Shen Yi's lips, which had been raised because of Wen Que's arrival, fell back down, and she instantly turned into a bitter face.
Thinking about it this way...
I really don't want to go home, it's annoying.
Wen Que said calmly, "Chen Yu told me what happened. He said he wanted to apologize to you."
Chen Yi's eyes lit up again.
If I could go back and stand on the moral high ground to rebuke Shen Yu, it would be a dream come true.
Song Yang rolled his eyes and continued to retort, "It's not like he hasn't lied to you before."
Shen Yi: "!"
Too.
Once, the two had a fight, and Shen Yi really ran away from home, hiding in a place where no one could find her.
Shen Yu sent her a message apologizing, saying that he would let her punish him as she pleased when he got back.
Shen Yi happily went home, only to be severely slapped on the palm by Shen Yu with a board.
Shen Yi cried and said, "You lied to me, you're dead!" But Shen Yu said righteously that the message was sent by the maid and had nothing to do with him, so it didn't count as him lying to her.
Liar! Bastard!
Seeing Song Yang fanning the flames from the side, Wen Que felt that his usually good temper had been on the verge of collapse ever since he saw Shen Yi in her pajamas at the Song family home.
He didn't want to waste time, his expression remaining as calm as ever, but his question was incisive: "Song Yang, do you have some reason why you insist on keeping Shen Yi here?"
The tone of concern suggested that Song Yang might have some unspeakable secret.
Shen Yi also looked over suspiciously, guessing, "Are you scared being home alone?"
"...Huh? Which eye of yours saw that I wanted her to stay?"
Song Yang scratched his short blond hair in annoyance, walked towards the room, threw Chen Yi's heavy schoolbag out, and said angrily, "Get out of here! Is it polite for you two to stay at someone else's house so late at night?"
＊
On the road.
For some reason, Shen Yi felt that there was an unnatural heaviness in the air.
She sat up straight, trying to sneak a peek at Wen Que's expression out of the corner of her eye, but was caught red-handed.
Shen Yi forced a smile, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "It's so late, I'm sorry to trouble you. It's all Shen Yu's fault..."
Wen Que's gaze was unwavering, meeting her eyes directly: "Shen Yu did nothing wrong. If he hadn't told me, would you have wanted to spend the night at the Song family's house?"
wrong.
This is a big problem.
For once, Shen Yi keenly realized that Wen Que seemed... not very happy?
He looked completely different from his usual self; his handsome brows and eyes were slightly furrowed, as if something was troubling even someone as afflicted as him.
If Shen Yu didn't do anything wrong, then... she did something wrong?
ha! ?
She's not wrong!
If it weren't for Wen Que, Shen Yi would definitely have shouted that out.
But because it was Wen Que, Shen Yi could only tentatively ask, "Wen Que, are you angry with me?"
So it's all Shen Yu's fault!
If you really want to apologize, why don't you just come over yourself? Why bother Wen Que!
It's quite a journey to the Wen family. Wen Que is very concerned about the competition next month and has devoted a lot of time and energy to it. It's a terrible sin to disturb him so late!
"No."
Without hesitation, he denied the answer. Seeing the worry and helplessness in her eyes, Wen Que remained silent for a while before replying, "I'm sorry, I just feel a sense of crisis."
Shen Yi: "???"
Her eyes widened like a rabbit's, surprised by Wen Que's words.
A sense of crisis? What is all this nonsense?
Sometimes I don't know if you really don't understand or are just pretending.
Wen Que closed his eyes, looking like he had a terrible headache, and said to the driver, "Let's stop here."
Shen Yi: "..."
She truly didn't understand what Wen Que meant; only one thought remained in her mind—
Was he trying to kick her off the bus?
That can't be right, she clearly didn't say anything.
Shen Yu, you deserve death! You deserve death! You deserve death!
Shen Yi frantically repeated the thought to herself, already imagining that if Wen Que really got angry enough to kick her out, she would take Shen Yu's life tonight.
And the next second.
A cool touch came from the back of her hand; it was Wen Que's palm covering hers. He looked at her and said, "It's about a ten-minute walk from here to your house. If you don't mind, let's take a walk."
＊
Holding hands.
It's holding hands!!!
As Shen Yi walked hand in hand with Wen Que along the roadside, she felt her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
They've been engaged for quite some time now, and having known each other for so many years, they've had their share of physical contact.
But this is the first time I've ever walked alone with my partner like this, which is clearly a couple holding hands.
After a while, he finally regained his senses.
Shen Yi said softly, "I'm sorry, Wen Que. I don't know what I did wrong, but I didn't mean to upset you."
This is true.
Of all the people in the world, the one Shen Yi least wants to see unhappy is Wen Que, because he is her absolute favorite.
"...I'm not unhappy."
Wen Que sighed softly and said, "Chen Yi, I'm your fiancé, right?"
Shen Yi looked up at him in horror, her face clearly displaying six words: You want to break off the engagement?
Feeling that her palms were instantly sweating from her distorted thoughts, Wen Que's vague irritation was finally soothed.
He gripped Shenyi's hand tighter to comfort her, showing no intention of breaking off the engagement. He spoke more directly: "We are engaged, yet you were alone with Song Yang when no one else was in the Song family."
Shen Yi clearly understood, but not completely.
Because she said, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again. After all, Song Yang might get a girlfriend soon..."
She hadn't considered everything thoroughly.
Although she didn't really treat Song Yang as a man, if she had known that Song Yang's mother was not around, she probably wouldn't have gone to bother him.
After all, Song Yang really wasn't good at comforting people. Whenever she was in a bad mood and went to the Song family, she always went for the fragrant and soft cookies baked by Song Yang's mother.
girlfriend?
Wen Que didn't believe it at all, but she was still successfully distracted by Shen Yi's words and asked, "Does he have a girlfriend?"
"Maybe, probably, soon."
Shen Yi answered very seriously, then told Wen Que about Jiang Yue without mentioning her name, and finally added objectively, "She is a very beautiful and outstanding girl."
Wen Que concluded: "So you realized you needed to keep your distance from Song Yang because he might get a girlfriend."
He nodded deeply.
That's right, that's exactly it!
But the next second, her smile, which had been gossiping about Song Yang's "relationship," froze on her face.
wrong.
Wait, the problem seems even bigger now.
This time, Wen Que's expression clearly darkened.
If Shen Yi had only suspected that Wen Que seemed angry before, now she was certain...
She's definitely angry!
But she really didn't understand.
Song Yang might be getting a girlfriend, so why is Wen Que angry?
This is so bizarre.
Could it be...? Ugh, how could such a thing happen? You're crazy!
Shen Yi was still lost in thought, but the moment Wen Que let go of her hand, her mind went completely blank.
I panicked.
She really panicked.
"I'm sorry, Wen Que..."
Even if you don't know what you did wrong, apologizing first is definitely the right thing to do in this situation.
Shen Yi's mind was in complete chaos. She hurt each other with Shen Yu every day and argued with Song Yang. Even with her close relationship with Meng Zihan, she had conflicts. But she had never quarreled with Wen Que.
Not even once.
Shen Yi is now really panicked, not knowing what she did wrong.
Wen Que let out a sigh, as if he had quickly composed himself, and said, "You would keep a distance from Song Yang just because he might have a girlfriend who might not even appear, but have you never considered me, who is already your fiancé?"
Wen Que admitted it.
Clearly, if he doesn't make things clear today, Shenyi won't understand.
He looked down at Shen Yi, reached out and pinched the soft flesh of her cheek, increasing the pressure to make her remember the feeling. In a somewhat self-deprecating manner, he said some cheesy words that he didn't really like: "Please, think about it. I'll care too. I'll be jealous. I'll be envious."
care.
Jealous.
envy.
These three heavy keywords were like a triple bomb, making Shen Yi feel like his head was buzzing.
What does "闻阙" mean?
Was he declaring his possessiveness towards her? Was this... this... this the legendary confession?
My mind is so blank that I can say whatever comes to mind.
She stammered, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry."
Because I can't think straight, the more I talk, the more incoherent it becomes.
now.
The rare sinister aura emanating from Wen Que gradually faded, replaced by a mixture of guilt and confusion.
I never thought about it.
What didn't she think about?
Since Shen Yi cares so much about Wen Que, it's impossible that she didn't consider his thoughts.
Then there is only one other possibility.
She never imagined he would like her.
How badly did he do that made her feel so insecure?
Wen Que bent down and gently embraced the girl.
He said, "...How could I possibly get engaged to someone I don't like?"
