When Shu Xueyin heard the familiar voice, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes, but as the person approached, she deliberately turned her back and quickly wiped away her tears.
"Yinyin, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, the man was clearly worried. He tried to turn Shu Xueyin around to see if she was crying, but she struggled and refused, choking out, "Cousin Xiang Yi, I'm fine. My sister didn't bully me. I just got sand in my eye."
Although she called Xiang Yi her cousin, Xiang Yi was actually a distant relative of Yun Yun's maternal family. He was invited to the family reunion dinner because his family knew how to flatter the Yun family and had a decent relationship with the host family.
"Yinyin, what you said is strange. If you got sand in your eye, why did you add that your older sister didn't bully you?"
Yun Xiangyi is a straight man, so he asked questions when he had them.
He genuinely couldn't understand the connection between those words.
"..."
Shu Xueyin choked.
Didn't this person say he liked her? When he hears that she might be being bullied, shouldn't he be filled with righteous indignation and go to help her get revenge?
What's the point of asking her such a stupid question? Are you implying she's faking it?
"Cousin Xiang Yi, my eyes hurt so much."
Unable to answer Xiang Yi's question, she pretended her eyes hurt, asking, "Is it going to go blind?"
"Let me see, let me take a look for you."
Yun Xiangyi cupped her face, examined her eyes, blew on them to warm them, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better."
Shu Xueyin blinked, then seemed to realize that the two were close, took two steps back, and said with a little shyness, "Cousin Xiang Yi, thank you."
It was the first time Yun Xiangyi had been so close to Shu Xueyin, and he felt a little shy and flustered. He stammered, "No, you're welcome."
"Cousin Xiangyi, Grandma is still waiting for me inside. I'll go in first."
Shu Xueyin pointed inside and said.
Yun Xiangyi had no choice but to step aside.
"Yinyin, if Wanwan really bullied you, I will ask her to treat you better. Don't cry in private."
Hearing Yun Xiangyi's words, Shu Xueyin was so shocked she almost twisted her ankle.
She said these ambiguous things to get Yun Xiangyi to find a way to cause trouble for Shu Mowan, not to get him to reason with someone or make someone treat her better.
He really is a blockhead; she shouldn't have had too much hope for him.
All those tears I shed were for nothing.
unlucky.
"Cousin Xiangyi, I was just talking nonsense. Don't go to my sister to verify it. I'm afraid she'll misunderstand again."
Shu Xueyin turned to look at him, "My status is awkward. I'm already very fortunate to be able to stay in the Shu family. I dare not ask for too much."
Yun Xiangyi didn't quite understand her melancholy. He scratched his head and said, "Ke Yinyin, Aunt Yun Yun has always treated you like her own daughter. Why are you afraid of being kicked out of the Shu family?"
"..."
Shu Xueyin's sad and aggrieved expression almost didn't last.
She said she was tired and didn't want to continue playing the victim with someone as straightforward as Yun Xiangyi. Her tone became more forceful: "Cousin Xiangyi, I don't want you to tell them that I cried or that I was afraid of being kicked out of the Shu family, okay?"
Yun Xiangyi was startled by her sudden change of expression and stammered, "Y-yes, that's fine."
"Then can you promise me you won't tell?"
Shu Xueyin asked.
Yun Xiangyi nodded.
"Thank you."
Shu Xueyin thanked her absentmindedly and left.
She couldn't be bothered to say anything more about this useless blockhead.
Yun Xiangyi opened his mouth as he looked at her retreating figure, then closed it again.
Forget it, she's still angry, so he should say less to upset her.
Feeling depressed, Shu Xueyin entered the banquet hall and saw Si Tingyu standing protectively beside Shu Mowan, which made her even more upset.
