twenty three
Shen Qingyu took two apples, preparing one for Yu An and one for Yu Wang.
Yu An stared at the two apples in her hand, a little surprised: "Sister Qingyu, I can't eat two."
Shen Qingyu said "Ah" and explained softly: "The other one is for your brother."
Yu An was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, with a playful smile in his eyes: "Oh~"
She deliberately dragged out the ending sound.
Shen Qingyu patted her lightly: "Don't let your imagination run wild!"
After all, Yu Wang is a guest, and he came to help during the New Year, so he can't be neglected...
Yu An sipped his yogurt while watching Shen Qingyu walk into the kitchen. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Excuses! All excuses! The adult world is indeed full of white lies!
However, if Shen Qingyu really became her sister-in-law...it would be pretty good. Please, that's Shen Qingyu! ...It's just that it's a bit too cheap for her brother...
Yu An thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out why Shen Qingyu fell in love with Yu Wang.
At this time, the TV was showing a key plot, and Yu An's thoughts were quickly interrupted, and he started watching TV intently.
Shen Qingyu gently opened the kitchen door with two apples in hand.
The sound of flowing water was heard, but Yu Wang seemed unaware of her arrival.
He was washing dishes with his back to her, wearing a pink apron - yes, pink, with little white polka dots on it.
Shen Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle.
Yu Wang paused slightly while washing the dishes. He had heard her come in earlier, but hadn't turned around. He hadn't expected her to laugh. He glanced down at the apron he was wearing.
No wonder she was laughing.
He pretended not to hear and continued washing the dishes as if nothing had happened. Shen Qingyu's attention was completely attracted by the cute apron and she didn't notice his subtle reaction at all.
Pretty cute...
Shen Qingyu watched quietly for a minute and came to this conclusion.
"How long will you watch?"
Yu Wang suddenly turned around, startling Shen Qingyu.
The dishes were neatly placed aside. He took off his rubber gloves, crossed his arms, and looked at her leisurely.
It's over, I was caught on the spot. Shen Qingyu subconsciously looked away and touched his slightly hot earlobe unnaturally.
So embarrassing...
Would he think it was weird that I was staring at his apron...
Shen Qingyu didn't dare to look into Yu Wang's eyes.
Yu Wang looked at her embarrassed look, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then returned to normal: "What's going on in the kitchen?"
"Peel an apple."
Shen Qingyu raised the apple in her hand as if she had found a savior.
"two?"
"Well, one for An An and one for you."
After a brief silence, he asked, "You don't want to eat?"
"I don't want to eat."
Yu Wang didn't say anything else. He naturally took the apple from her hand and prepared to help her peel it.
Shen Qingyu was stunned: "What are you doing with my apple?"
Yu Wang stopped taking the fruit knife and looked at her face again: "What do you think?"
Shen Qingyu looked him over and said seriously, "I don't think you are that kind of person."
"What kind of person?" Yu Wang raised his eyebrows.
"You can't eat two by yourself, otherwise what will An An eat?" she said seriously.
Yu Wang: “…”
He shook his head slightly, a hint of laughter in his tone: "With your brain, how did you get into Tsinghua University back then?"
This sentence instantly ignited Shen Qingyu's competitive spirit: "Don't underestimate others, you will suffer in society if you do this, I tell you..."
Yu Wang didn't say anything else. He peeled an apple neatly and handed it to Shen Qingyu who was still talking nonstop.
She stopped in her tracks and looked at him in surprise: "This...you're not going to eat it? Apples are very nutritious, you..."
"Just take it if you give it to me. Why are you talking so much?"
Shen Qingyu felt a slight warmth in her heart, not because of the apple, but because of his action. A slight throbbing in her heart...
Yu Wang noticed her change of mood and whispered, "Are you moved by an apple? Have you never been taken care of like this before?"
Shen Qingyu: "..."
He was always like this, pouring cold water on her just when she was touched.
Shen Qingyu put away his touched expression, took the apple, took a small bite, and muttered softly: "I guess I was wrong."
Yu Wang paused and looked up at her: "So, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Shen Qingyu was stunned.
"Cold?"
He took a step forward, and Shen Qingyu subconsciously stepped back.
"Kind?"
He took another step closer, and Shen Qingyu retreated again.
"Still... likable?"
Shen Qingyu's back gently rested against the kitchen door, and a subtle touch came from it.
There is no way back.
Yu Wang rested one hand on the door panel beside her ear. Shen Qingyu was shrouded in his shadow and could clearly see his bright eyes in the backlight looking at her intently.
Shen Qing was speechless for a moment. This posture was too ambiguous. Yu An was outside the kitchen door, and the sound of the TV was faintly audible.
After a moment, she spoke uncomfortably: "Of course the school hunk is very popular with girls."
Yu Wang raised his eyebrows: "School Prince?"
"You don't know that you are the most handsome boy in our school, do you?"
Yu Wang remained silent.
Shen Qingyu couldn't help but feel sympathy for the classmates who voted for him to be the school idol - how helpless it must be to fall in love with someone who doesn't even know that title.
Seeing her distracted, Yu Wang's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible fluctuation, and his voice was low: "Does it include you?"
Chen Qingyu suddenly looked up at him. Yu Wang lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his lower eyelid.
The two of them looked at each other from different heights, and there was a vague ambiguity in the air.
After a while, Yu Wang asked softly, "Are you shy?"
"Who, who is shy!" Shen Qingyu immediately retorted, but her ears turned even redder.
Yu Wang chuckled softly and leaned closer. She subconsciously shrank back.
Sensing her dodging, Yu Wang almost stuck close to her ear, his warm breath brushing past her ear, disrupting her already rapid heartbeat.
"What kind of person am I..."
His lazy voice struck her heart word by word. Shen Qingyu felt her heartbeat was about to get out of control and her cheeks were hot.
She didn't understand why Yu Wang was so obsessed with this issue and wanted to tease her in such a subtle way.
She didn't know how to answer.
At the critical moment, Yu An's voice came from outside the door: "Sister Qingyu, haven't you peeled the apple yet?"
The ambiguous atmosphere was broken in an instant.
Yu Wang made a soft "tsk" sound, obviously displeased.
He put down his hand and distanced himself from Shen Qingyu, and she was immediately freed from the restraint.
Yu Wang took off her apron, opened the kitchen door with the peeled apple, and walked towards the living room.
Shen Qingyu also followed him out.
Yu An sat on the sofa, and the first thing he saw was Shen Qingyu following behind Yu Wang like a little tail.
Yu Wang's expression remained normal, but Shen Qingyu's face flushed from ears to cheeks.
It was hard not to imagine what had just happened in the kitchen.
Shen Qingyu sat down next to Yu An, but Yu Wang was still standing.
Yu An was curious and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yu Wang: "Drinking yogurt and eating apples at the same time, be careful of stomach upset."
Only then did Yu An notice the peeled apple in his hand.
She took it and curled her lips: "What do you care?"
Yu Wang didn't care and sat down casually on the single sofa next to him.
Shen Qingyu quietly moved towards Yu An.
Yu An looked at Chen Qingyu, then at Yu Wang, his eyes sparkling: "What were you two...doing in the kitchen just now?"
"Nothing!" Shen Qingyu answered immediately, but the blush on her face deepened.
…
Yu An looked at her in silence. With this reaction, she wouldn't believe Yu Wang even if he said it was nothing.
Yu Wang leaned back on the sofa, his posture relaxed. His hair partially covered his eyebrows and eyes, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.
Yu An felt that he had tacitly agreed.
It seems that Shen Qingyu's becoming her sister-in-law is basically a sure thing.
She gave Shen Qingyu a look that said "I understand everything" and stopped asking questions.
Chen Qingyu:??? What do you understand?
