"Oh? Isn't this... the guy from that day at..." Zixuan turned around, looking at Shen Yu with a smiling face that carried a hint of flattery.
But there was a heavy hatred in her eyes, and a trace of displeasure showed through.
"Yeah!" Shen Yu curled his lips, forcing out a smile that made people feel at a loss. It was chillingly cold.
"Well, since we're all here, it'd be great to go celebrate today. Congratulations to Yi Pin for winning another case!"
Gu Yang quickly stood up to ease the awkward atmosphere.
So the four of them walked together. Zixuan kept pulling Yi Pin, muttering non - stop. Yi Pin walked silently, smiling in agreement, but didn't really hear what she was saying the whole time. Out of the corner of his eye, he was always following Shen Yu's every move.
This time they didn't go to a hot - pot restaurant but to a high - class restaurant.
Shen Yu didn't say much the whole evening. Although he usually looked extremely cold, he talked quite a lot when he was with Yi Pin. He was like a real chatterbox.
Yi Pin silently sat next to Shen Yu and turned to look at Shen Yu's face.
Opposite them sat Gu Yang and Zixuan.
Shen Yu habitually rinsed a bowl for Yi Pin and also prepared chopsticks and tissues.
Zixuan saw all this and frowned.
But Yi Pin didn't seem to care. It seemed he was already used to it.
They ordered a whole bunch of dishes, all Yi Pin's favorites.
Gu Yang was already used to it and didn't find it strange, but Zixuan was always on edge. Relying on a girl's sixth sense, she just felt that something was subtly off and strange.
"Yi Pin, I ordered you a bottle of soda." Zixuan smiled with the corners of her mouth, looking at Yi Pin in front of her. She mainly thought that boys liked something exciting to drink.
"He likes watermelon juice!"
Shen Yu said it as if he didn't care, but also like he was asserting his sovereignty.
Zixuan stood there awkwardly, always feeling that her status as his girlfriend was just a name. Even for such things, it had to be Shen Yu who reminded her.
Yi Pin turned to look at Shen Yu with a puzzled face. He was really being so blunt today.
"It's okay. I'll drink both!" Yi Pin smiled.
Seeing Zixuan's awkward look, Yi Pin felt a bit sorry for her.
But Zixuan always noticed that Yi Pin never touched the soda from beginning to end.
Instead, he casually drank from the same glass of water as Shen Yu.
"Let's congratulate our classmate Yi Pin for officially stepping onto the path of being a lawyer and successfully winning two cases!" Gu Yang raised his red - wine glass, smiling with the corners of his mouth curled.
"No, I still have a long way to go!" Yi Pin smiled. Actually, he didn't feel like he had really won those two cases.
"Good that you know!"
Shen Yu curled his lips and smiled. He wrapped a piece of pork belly in a lettuce leaf and handed it to Yi Pin.
Yi Pin was already used to Shen Yu's occasional cold remarks. He just looked at it silently and then picked up the lettuce leaf and ate it contentedly.
Zixuan's anger on her face became even more obvious.
"I'll go to the restroom!"
Shen Yu stood up and walked towards the restroom.
"I'll also go to the restroom!" Zixuan also stood up silently and walked towards the restroom.
Yi Pin didn't really care. He just lowered his head to eat. For a foodie, the most taboo thing was to be interrupted. Enjoying the delicious food silently was a kind of happiness.
But after a long time, neither of them came back. Yi Pin felt confused and then went looking for them.
When he reached the restroom door, he was shocked. The two of them were actually kissing.
Then Zixuan pushed Shen Yu away, looking shocked with tears in her eyes. She said, "What are you doing? You've been sending me harassing calls, and now you're forcing me!"
Shen Yu looked blank and frowned. This woman was really something. On the surface, she looked gentle and quiet, but he didn't think she was so scheming.
"Shen Yu, how could you... Aren't you ashamed?" Yi Pin stood there stunned. Instantly, his head felt like it was exploding, and a wave of irritation welled up in his heart.
Shen Yu frowned. This guy always came to question him without even listening to his explanation.
Shen Yu gave Yi Pin a cold look and then glared at Zixuan, who looked terrified. He was impressed by Zixuan's acting skills. He even had a momentary illusion that maybe he was really a brute.
"Stop right there, you bastard!" Yi Pin said coldly. He originally had some doubts, but now Shen Yu seemed to have admitted it. He really admitted it.
Immediately afterwards, punches flew.
The two of them started fighting. Zixuan kept trying to stop them, with a curl of a smile on her lips.
Gu Yang came running over after hearing the commotion and pulled the two of them apart.
"Can you guys stop fighting at the drop of a hat? You're not primary - school kids, and you're even studying law!"
Gu Yang tried his best to pull the two of them apart.
But Shen Yu seemed not to listen. He kicked the door open and stormed out angrily.
Yi Pin stayed there with a trace of blood on his lips. Actually, he was jealous, but he didn't know whose jealousy it was.
Slowly, he also walked out.
"Yi Pin, let me take you to see a doctor. I'll bandage your wound for you!"
Zixuan stroked the wound on Yi Pin's lips gently with a worried look.
"No need!"
Yi Pin slapped Zixuan's hand away.
"You can take a taxi home by yourself today, or ask Gu Yang to take you back."
Yi Pin frowned, stood up, and walked towards the door.
He walked on the street and smoked six cigarettes before he got back to his place.
Slowly opening the door, he saw that Shen Yu's door was tightly shut.
For five consecutive days, he didn't know if Shen Yu was deliberately avoiding him. Anyway, since that big fight, he hadn't seen Shen Yu even though they lived under the same roof.
But the breakfast was still prepared as usual.
After a few days of calming down, Yi Pin finally became more composed.
One night, he silently knocked on Shen Yu's door. There was no response. Maybe Shen Yu didn't want to see him.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the door open silently.
Shen Yu had a rare stubble on his face. His disheveled appearance made Yi Pin want to laugh.
"What is it?" Shen Yu said coldly.
"I just came to talk to you!" Yi Pin smiled with a curl of his lips and looked at Shen Yu.
"There's nothing to talk about!" Shen Yu still said coldly.
"I was really impulsive that day. Just think about it. If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you be extremely angry too?" Yi Pin squeezed in from under Shen Yu's armpit. Looking at the room, it was neat and clean, just like Shen Yu's style.
Shen Yu looked at Yi Pin coldly, with that smiling and flattering look on his face.
"Well... if you like Zixuan, I can give her to you. But you can't... pick up my girl right in front of me, right?"
Shen Yu mumbled some messy things. He didn't know why, but he felt nervous.
Hearing this, Yi Pin frowned and didn't say much.
But the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
"Get out!" Shen Yu said coldly.
