Shen Ci analyzed with an air of seriousness: "Based on past experience, the more mild-mannered my sister is, the worse my fate will be!"
Chi Yan perked up, staring intently at him: "What do you mean?"
"Isn't that simple? My older sister is the kind of person who doesn't show her emotions. Even if she's feeling really bad inside, she'll always look calm and collected on the surface."
Not knowing how to describe it specifically, Shen Ci frowned and recalled seriously, "Let me give you an example. When we were little, Shen Xiwei always liked to snatch my sister's things, and my father would always tell her to give them to Shen Xiwei, saying that the older sister should protect her younger sister."
“Once, Shen Xiwei took a fancy to a glass cup. My older sister clearly liked it too. Under her persistent nagging, she picked up the glass cup and smashed it. Shen Xiwei was so angry that she cried!”
She would rather destroy her things than let them fall into the hands of others. Although she was gentle and meticulous in her dealings with people, she was not without a sharp edge.
Chi Yan frowned upon hearing this, inwardly cursing Shen Xiwei to the core, while simultaneously sighing in admiration:
I never expected her to be so individualistic, with such clear likes and dislikes.
Shen Ci continued, his tongue thick: "Another time, my sister had a dog, and Shen Xiwei wanted to take it away. Even though our father intervened, my sister didn't agree. But the other woman was still determined and would often come over to secretly feed it. Over time, the dog became quite close to her. One time, my sister saw it wagging its tail at Shen Xiwei and gave it away without saying a word."
A puppy will be close to whoever feeds it; it doesn't understand anything about human relationships.
But the elder sister couldn't tolerate any dissent. She saw its behavior as betrayal and thus granted its request.
Of course, after Shen Xiwei took the dog, she soon lost interest, and the dog's fate was self-evident.
Shen Ci looked up at Chi Yan with a dazed expression: "So, do you understand what I mean?"
What she wants is unconditional and absolutely loyal love. Before she is certain, she will test the waters again and again. If she senses any insincerity during this process, she will cut her losses immediately.
Chi Yan kept his eyes down and remained silent, while Chu Mingyu, who was already somewhat drunk, blurted out, "Brother Chi, you better not wag your tail at other people, or your wife might not want you anymore!"
He frowned with concern, his tone very serious.
Chi Yan and Shen Ci: "..."
Chi Yan's eyelids twitched violently. He glanced at her, a smile that seemed to hide a knife: "Am I a dog?"
Chu Mingyu scratched his head, thought about it seriously, and grinned foolishly: "It doesn't seem like it."
It was undeniable that he was quite drunk, and Chi Yan was too lazy to argue with him.
Shen Ci, who also couldn't hold his liquor, put his arm around Chu Mingyu and rambled on: "I heard you got engaged, congratulations!"
Chu Mingyu nodded: "Congratulations to you too!"
Chi Yan propped his head up and watched the two chatter nonsense. His eye twitched slightly. He was the one who was in a bad mood and asked these two to drink, but he wasn't even drunk yet, and these two were already acting crazy. Was there any justice in this world?
Despite his complaints, after leaving the restaurant, Chi Yan dutifully escorted the two men back to their respective homes before staggering home himself.
The moon hung high in the sky, and the mansion was quiet. Apart from the hexagonal palace lanterns hanging under the eaves, the lights in the master bedroom were already off.
Chi Yan stood under the tree, the early autumn wind chilling his cheeks and the effects of the alcohol dissipating somewhat. He gazed in the direction of the bedroom, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Shen Ci said that she wouldn't put any effort into people or things she didn't care about.
Recalling the past, he arrived at a definite answer—
She cares about him.
