"Chen Yan! Where did you go so early in the morning? Why didn't you say anything?"
Li Ziyun looked at him anxiously, feeling both angry and worried. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should scold him or not.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Yun. I saw that you were not awake, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I was just thinking of going to buy something myself."
Shen Yan shook the plastic bag in his hand and said a few words to Li Ziyun to comfort her, which calmed her down. Li Ziyun had originally planned to call Chen Kang if she couldn't find them, but the events of the past few days had frightened her, and she always felt that something bad had happened if the two children were missing.
Li Ziyun then realized that she had been a little too nervous.
She went into the kitchen to start preparing lunch. Chen Kang texted her to say that they would eat out in the evening and that lunch would be fine as is.
I simply made three bowls of beef noodles.
The three of them sat on chairs eating noodles. Chen Yu was also watching TV on her phone. Li Ziyun listened to the sounds from her phone and suddenly felt a little annoyed. "Yu Yu, can you finish eating before you watch it?"
"Oh dear, I finished eating very quickly."
Li Ziyun felt that Chen Yu was talking back to her.
"Chen Yu! Turn off your phone!"
Startled by her shout, Chen Yu and Shen Yan both looked up at Li Ziyun. Chen Yu immediately shut up, quickly turned off her phone, and hurriedly picked up her chopsticks to slurp her noodles.
This was the first time she had ever seen Li Ziyun so fierce.
After the meal, Chen Yu offered to wash the dishes, which calmed Li Ziyun down a bit.
Li Ziyun leaned against the headboard and closed her eyes to rest. Chen Yu didn't dare to provoke her and obediently took her phone and hid in the room.
Looking at the summer homework on the table, she mustered up her courage once again and opened it.
This time she finally managed to solve a few questions, but there was still an element of guessing involved.
When Chen Yu checked the time, it was already past four in the afternoon. She had only done less than ten questions, yet it had taken her three hours. It seemed she really needed to brush up on her knowledge, otherwise how could she get into the same school as Shen Yan?
She made a decision in her heart and wrote down her goals.
An idea suddenly flashed into her mind: she could ask Shen Yan to tutor her more often. In the novels she had read before, many of the characters developed feelings for each other through tutoring!
Having made a plan, Chen Yu couldn't wait to start, but her mind was already exhausted and she needed to scroll through short videos to recharge.
After playing on her phone for half an hour, Chen Yu suddenly felt refreshed. She put down her phone, jumped up, and stretched by the bed.
"Yu Yu, get ready to go out." Li Ziyun knocked on Chen Yu's door.
"They're here!"
Chen Yu quickly changed her clothes and helped Li Ziyun assist Chen Yan downstairs. Just as they reached the bottom of the stairs, Chen Kang's car arrived.
Chen Kang got out of the car and helped Shen Yan into the car. Chen Yu wanted to help, but Chen Kang waved her off and told her to sit down.
Shen Yan's phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at it; it was a message from Ma Qi.
[Ma Qi: Shen Yan, are you free tomorrow? Could you come with me to the department store?]
Looking at the message on the screen, he hesitated for a long time before finally typing "I'm busy." Chen Yu, who was next to him, secretly glanced at the message. She didn't mean to peek; the dark screen was just too bright, and it caught her attention.
When Ma Qi received Shen Yan's message, he suddenly felt that Shen Yan's attitude had changed. Could it be that he hadn't contacted him for too long?
Chen Kang parked his car in the mall and went upstairs to the Japanese restaurant.
After ordering the food, Chen Kang took out two boxes from his pocket, placing one in front of Chen Yu and the other in front of Shen Yan.
"This is a little gift from Dad to you. Open it and take a look."
Shen Yan watched the box without moving it. Chen Yu had always opened it first, and he could only open it afterward.
Chen Yu untied the bow on the box, opened the lid, and saw a gorgeous fountain pen inside, which looked quite expensive.
"You'll be in your final year of high school soon. This pen is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can get into the universities you want."
Shen Yan opened his box. The fountain pen inside was a different color from Chen Yu's; hers was pink, while his was blue.
"Thank you, Dad."
"Thank you, Uncle Kang."
Both thanked her at the same time. Chen Yu stared at the pen in a daze. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through her mind. She turned to look at Chen Yan with burning eyes and said, "Brother, can you tutor me starting tomorrow?"
When Chen Yu said this, the other three people present were stunned and looked at Chen Yu at the same time.
"Yu Yu, are you serious? You're really willing to study?" Li Ziyun asked in surprise.
"Really? I also want to apply to the same school as Shen Yan."
"Wow, you actually have such lofty ambitions."
These words made Chen Kang burst into laughter, and Li Ziyun immediately slapped Chen Kang's arm, "Watch your step, we're outside, not at home."
"Yes, yes, my wife."
Everyone enjoyed the meal, especially Chen Yu, who told her parents that Shen Yan had no reason to refuse.
Shen Yan's face remained expressionless, but a sense of irritation rose within him. He didn't know why Chen Yu was doing this.
Is she really trying to learn, or is she just looking for a way to torment herself?
late at night.
He opened his tightly closed eyes, pinched his brow, and felt uneasy thinking about what Chen Yu had said that night. After spending these few days together inexplicably, he had indeed lowered his guard against Chen Yu a little, but not enough for him to completely trust her.
I just felt that she had suddenly become very strange.
As Shen Yan reflected on Chen Yu's changes over the past few days, she preferred to believe that she had been possessed rather than that she had become a better person.
