Leave the Moonlit Hall.
The two quickly left the ancestral home.
Sitting in the passenger seat next to Zhang Youye, I felt a little uneasy after saying so many things that my uncle didn't like to hear.
Subconsciously, Shu Yi raised her hand to press her heart, let out a long sigh, and her tone was inevitably a little nervous.
"Zhang Youye, did you pay attention to my uncle's expression just now? He wasn't angry, was he?"
With a helpless smile, the image of that stubborn, slender figure in the center of the room, so unyielding that it was impossible to look away, remained etched in Zhang Youye's mind.
He gripped the steering wheel and rolled down the window.
"I don't think so. Judging from his expression, I think he seems to have been fooled by you."
"What do you mean?" Shu Yi asked, puzzled.
“Your great-uncle is a man of high status and great power. He is one of the decision-makers in Jingnan. Sometimes even I don’t dare to look him in the eye.”
As he spoke, perhaps recalling the standoff between the two sides inside the room, Zhang Youye glanced at her sideways and chuckled softly.
"Among these families, you're probably the only one who dares to speak to your uncle in that tone. I must say, you were quite cool just now, with that fierce demeanor."
With a helpless laugh, the car window was rolled down, and Shuyi put her arm on the windowsill and rested her fingers on her forehead.
"I just don't like how he and Grandpa always discuss such an important matter as marriage in a natural tone, like they're buying and selling something."
Seeing that the light ahead was red, Zhang Youye released the accelerator, letting the car continue to coast along the lane.
He leaned slightly forward and turned on the car's music player.
As the melodious music began, the two fell silent.
In their unspoken understanding, Zhang Youye could comprehend her complex feelings.
They understood even more that Shu Yi had already achieved the most satisfactory outcome in this unprecedented confrontation.
The green light comes on.
We continued driving aimlessly for a while.
I glanced at the time; it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.
Just as he was about to ask Shuyi if there was anywhere she wanted to go, he heard a message notification on her phone.
Shuyi took out her phone and opened WeChat.
It was a WeChat message from Shu Chuanran.
Second sister, you're amazing.
I heard from the people at the ancestral home that you've completely baffled your great-uncle. Where are you now? Are you worried he'll be angry? Do you need my help?
"It was Shu Chuanran who sent me the message. He actually asked me if I needed any help."
After saying that, she held up the WeChat account in front of Zhang Youye to show him, and Shu Yi looked somewhat puzzled.
"I don't think we're that close yet."
His gaze suddenly darkened, and he snatched the phone from in front of him. While driving, Zhang Youye sent a voice message to the rabbit across from him who only wanted to eat the grass near its burrow.
"Little brother, your sister is with me, so you don't need to worry about her. Don't worry, she's doing fine."
When he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "sister".
To Shu Yi, who was watching the show with amusement, it sounded like a strong, clenched warning.
Shu Yi remained silent, only staring at the inexplicably dark and gloomy face beside her.
The sun is shining brightly again today. I haven't encountered a single rainy day during my time in Jingnan.
The car has no convertible top, so the dazzling beams of light cannot penetrate its body, but they can leave dappled light on the car body because of the autumn leaves that have not yet all fallen from the roadside.
Inside the car, the young master drove intently.
His gaze was level with the road ahead, his slender, pale fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing a sliver of his forearm, and a designer hoodie hung loosely over his shoulders.
Looking up, a golden light fell precisely on his disheveled profile, the beam creating different shadows on either side.
Her eyelashes were of moderate length, her nose bridge was high and straight, her facial features were perfectly angular, and the curve of her jaw was softened by the beam of light.
This face is so perfect it's beyond reproach.
I wonder if anyone has ever told him that he really is like a character from an anime who has come to life.
turn out to be.
A feeling of being moved can really happen in a certain moment.
It wasn't at a specific time or place, but on such an ordinary afternoon.
A beam of warm light happened to fall on his face.
Thus a feeling arose that could not be described in words, nor could it be suppressed by thought.
It began to beat faster in Shuyi's heart.
At this moment, the emotions that welled up from the bottom of her heart made Shu Yi clearly aware of the overflowing feelings within her.
She let out a soft chuckle for no apparent reason, then shifted her body slightly, continuing to rest her fingers on her temples.
She seemed to know very well that she was doomed.
So she opened her mouth and called his name.
"Zhang Youye".
He wondered if the other person would notice that the gentle voice calling his name had a strange tremor in it.
"Hmm?" Not noticing anything amiss, Zhang Youye continued to stare ahead. "What's wrong?"
"I'm doomed, Zhang Youye, I think I've fallen for you," she said.
The moment the last note abruptly stopped, a deafening screech of brakes echoed through the sky, falling abruptly beside my ears.
Fortunately, there aren't many vehicles on this road normally, but Shu Yi's sudden remark triggered them.
After hurriedly parking the car on the side of the road, Zhang Youye slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with unbridled joy.
"What, what did you just say?" Even he was surprised by the tremor in his breath.
"I think I've fallen for you." With a gentle smile, Shu Yi confirmed it for him again.
I barely managed to suppress the molten lava that was about to burst through my chest from the joy, and tried my best to act natural.
But the white knuckles gripping the steering wheel betrayed him, and Zhang Youye had to take a deep breath.
I never imagined that God would be so kind to him.
He managed to win Shu Yi's favor in such a short time.
He clearly still had many plans to reach out to her that he hadn't yet realized; he should do more.
But now.
Why do I suddenly feel like crying?
Calming his racing heart and turning his gaze elsewhere, Zhang Youye opened his mouth but was speechless. It was really all over.
Zhang Youye, you have been utterly defeated.
You can't escape now.
