"Hmm, it's okay..."
Shen Yan answered with his head down, his hands still quickly putting food into his mouth.
Chen Yu was somewhat displeased upon hearing Shen Yan's words, but upon reflection, she felt it was quite normal, since Shen Yan didn't seem to have many opinions on matters of the heart.
After eating.
Shen Yan drove Chen Yu home.
Chen Yu played on her phone the whole way and didn't talk to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He had a feeling that something was wrong with Chen Yu, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
The following month, the coffee shop was very busy, and Chen Yan didn't have any time to rest.
Chen Yu didn't clamor to go out and play. She played games in her room every day, or went downstairs for a walk.
With the start of the school year approaching, Chen Yu planned to go out and buy some school supplies.
After some careful selection, she bought a softer mattress and two sets of bedding, one for winter and one for summer.
She bought some more for Shen Yan, knowing that he would be busy lately and would probably not go to buy them until around the same time.
She might as well buy them all at once.
The things I bought were all pretty much the same.
I don't know if Shen Yan likes it or not.
She dragged a lot of things back home and stood at the door, knocking.
It was a door opened by Chen Yan.
"Did you go shopping?"
"Yes, I bought some for you too."
Shen Yan helped Chen Yu carry the things inside.
Chen Yu took out the things she had bought for Shen Yan and told Shen Yan to take them back to his room.
With only one week left before school starts, Shen Yan plans to quit this job. Quitting later would take too much time.
Chen Yu bought some more things online.
Wang Yue told her that she should buy fewer useless things when she goes to college, but she still couldn't control herself.
On the day of school, I felt like my hands were numb from carrying so many packages.
In the end, she managed to control herself and decided to go to school and buy it when she needed it.
Shen Yan brought a stack of money to Chen Yu's room. "How much did you spend today? Here, take all of this."
Chen Yu looked at the large stack of red suns in Shen Yan's hand, which looked like Shen Yan's recent salary.
It feels like handing over your salary.
"No need, you keep them. These things aren't worth much."
Chen Yu refused Shen Yan's money, but Shen Yan was as stubborn as a mule and insisted on giving the money to Chen Yu no matter what.
He even reimbursed her for her things. Chen Yu immediately thought that Shen Yan probably had to give her the things she bought because he was her older brother.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Couldn't this stern man have some other emotions? He was always so dull and unresponsive.
During this time together, she knew that Shen Yan's thoughts and opinions about her had changed, but she felt as if she was trying in the wrong direction.
Shen Yan's feelings for her are becoming more and more like those for a sibling.
They could even be described as being like siblings.
Chen Yu became increasingly unhappy as she thought about it, and shook her head, intending to think of another solution.
She was determined to break through this barrier in her relationship with Shen Yan.
The next afternoon.
After resigning, Shen Yan returned home and saw Chen Yu sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, basking in the sun.
He stared intently at Chen Yu's sleeping face, mesmerized.
This was the first time he realized that Chen Yu had grown up and matured.
The more he looked at her, the more beautiful she became, but Shen Yan quickly lowered his head; he couldn't have such thoughts about his sister.
He silently returned to his room.
Although Chen Yu's behavior these days has been strange, Shen Yan simply believes that Chen Yu has no one to keep him company, so he, as her older brother, is there to keep him company.
He dared not even think about anything more.
In addition to last time.
When the four of them went on a trip, Shen Yan shared a room with Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang, who was drunk, said that Chen Yu had someone she liked.
Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He had never thought about this question before, and he never imagined that Chen Yu would have someone she liked.
Who does she like?
Shen Yan tentatively asked Jiang Yang a question, but Jiang Yang was too drunk to speak and fell asleep right after saying that.
He couldn't wake Jiang Yang no matter how much he tried.
So we couldn't get anything out of him.
Shen Yan took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Yang, asking him to go out for drinks.
Jiang Yang was still engrossed in playing games when he received the message, but he still agreed after seeing Shen Yan's message.
He didn't know what Shen Yan was up to, suddenly sending him a message. He thought about it for a moment, wondering if Chen Yu knew about it.
Should he tell Chen Yu or not?
I think I'll pass and wait for Shen Yan to speak first.
Shen Yan prepared dinner for Chen Yu, and after eating, he went out.
Chen Yu watched Shen Yan's departing figure with some curiosity. He only said that he was going out for a while, but did not tell Chen Yu what he was going out to do.
She simply invited Wang Yue out for drinks.
The two were taking a walk in the square.
"Wang Yue, do you think I should break the ice?"
"Now!? Isn't that too fast? Can Shen Yan handle it?"
Chen Yu thought about it for a moment, and what Wang Yue said seemed to make sense. She had bullied Shen Yan for so many years, and this was nothing. She seemed to have been a little too hasty.
"Alright, I'll wait a bit longer. I'm just afraid that Shen Yan will always think that we have a brother-sister relationship, and it will be too late to talk about it later."
Chen Yu expressed her concerns, and Wang Yue also began to think about them carefully.
"What you said makes sense. Why don't you try testing them?"
How to test the waters?
Wang Yue came up with a lot of ideas for Chen Yu, but Chen Yu felt they were all unreliable. However, there was one that they could try.
She needs to see what kind of feelings Shen Yan has for her.
Shen Yan originally intended to get Jiang Yang drunk, but his alcohol tolerance was too low, and he underestimated Jiang Yang, who had already trained to be a very heavy drinker.
Jiang Yang looked at Chen Yan, who was slumped over the table. This guy was really something. He called him out, ordered him a bunch of drinks, and then didn't say anything. What was he going to do now?
Helpless, he took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Yu.
[Yang: Come pick up your man right away.]
Jiang Yang sent his location; the two were at a quiet bar near their home.
Chen Yu was a little stunned when she saw the message. When did Shen Yan go out drinking with Jiang Yang?
How could she not know that Shen Yan liked to go out drinking?
Chen Yu and Wang Yue rushed to the bar and saw Chen Yan lying on the table as soon as they entered.
"Why are you so drunk?"
"Is your man under a lot of pressure? He started drinking heavily right away without saying a word."
"Under a lot of pressure!?"
Chen Yu thought back and realized that Shen Yan hadn't acted strangely these past few days, so why was he under so much pressure? Could it be because of his workplace?
That was all she could think of.
"I don't know either, I'll take him back first."
"Will it work?"
Jiang Yang looked at Chen Yu with disbelief. How could someone as small as her possibly carry Shen Yan back?
In the end, Jiang Yang carried it, and Chen Yu carried it upstairs.
Jiang Yang and Wang Yue were afraid that if Chen Kang saw them, they would inevitably get a scolding.
