Shen Yan was somewhat at a loss; he didn't want it to be like this, it was just an unconscious reaction.
He listened to Chen Le starting the car outside, and only went out after Chen Le left. He sat down not far from Chen Yu.
When Chen Yu woke up, the sun had already set. She sat up anxiously, knowing that Chen Le would be worried again soon after she had been there for so long. She stood up, patted her bottom, and looked up to see Shen Yan lying not far away. She was stunned for a moment, then walked over and squatted down next to Shen Yan. It was the first time she had observed Shen Yan's sleeping face so closely.
She reached out to touch it and test its feel, but halfway there, Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Chen Yu's face, then at her hand, and the scene became awkward. Chen Yu immediately withdrew her hand. "I just wanted to wake you up. You... don't overthink it." She left the lawn as if she were fleeing for her life.
Shen Yan rubbed his throbbing head. He didn't know when he had fallen asleep. He took a moment to calm down before standing up. Looking at the darkening sky, he went back into the house and went straight to the kitchen. Chen Yu's heart was still pounding. She hadn't expected to be discovered. How could he have woken up just as she reached out her hand?
Shen Yan hurriedly cooked a bowl of noodles, and fearing that Chen Yu would not eat it, he added some minced beef to it.
"Chen Yu, come and eat."
"Yes, it's here."
The two were sitting far apart. Chen Yu finished her noodles in no time and hurried upstairs. She felt her face was incredibly red, and when she went into the restroom, she realized it was true; her face was as red as a monkey's bottom.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She had only returned to high school age, and the changes in her age did not mean that her mental age had returned to high school. Frustrated, Chen Yu stared blankly at the bathroom mirror.
Chen Yu, who had just finished showering, bumped into Shen Yan, who was coming upstairs. The two of them lowered their heads and returned to their respective rooms. Chen Yu lay on the bed with a face mask on, watching a TV series on her phone and laughing out loud. Shen Yan next door looked utterly dejected; the soundproofing in this room was really terrible.
Chen Le got home close to midnight. He made a shushing gesture to Zi Ying behind him and quietly led her upstairs.
