Throughout the whole night, Yi Pin thought he was going to suffer from insomnia again.
However, he inexplicably felt at peace and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when Shen Yu got up, there was a smile on his lips. The two of them were hugging each other, looking very intimate.
"Yi Pin, get up!"
Shen Yu picked up a tissue and gently tickled Yi Pin's nose, smiling.
"Stop it!" Yi Pin replied in a soft, milk - like voice with a smile on his lips, and then his curved eyebrows lifted.
Shen Yu leaned over with a smile and kissed Yi Pin on the forehead.
This scene was seen by Fu Xiaotong at the door. Shock flashed across her eyes.
After she went out, she slammed the door hard.
"Bang!"
The loud sound of the door slamming was deafening.
Startled by the loud noise, Yi Pin woke up in a daze, muttering curses.
"Who is it? Can't they be a bit quieter?"
Shen Yu said coldly with a smile on his lips. He gently stroked Yi Pin's eyebrows and said, "It's okay. Go back to sleep."
After soothing Yi Pin back to sleep, Shen Yu smiled and quietly walked into the living room.
On the sofa sat Fu Xiaotong, crying and twitching her shoulders.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Shen Yu frowned and asked nervously.
"I feel uncomfortable in my heart!"
Fu Xiaotong replied coldly, sniffling. A kind of indescribable grievance welled up in her heart.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable in your heart? Do you need some heart - saving pills?" Shen Yu smiled and ruffled Fu Xiaotong's hair.
"Shen Yu, you know everything, don't you?" Fu Xiaotong said coldly, folding her arms across her chest.
"If you hadn't troubled Yi Pin again and again, you wouldn't feel uncomfortable now!"
Shen Yu smiled and was about to turn around and walk into the kitchen.
Fu Xiaotong stood up and followed Shen Yu into the kitchen.
"I know. Do you think I've been just playing with Yi Pin? Do you think that I..."
Fu Xiaotong said with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"No. You're very important to me. During those days in the past, if it weren't for you, I might not have made it through. So I'll definitely protect you in the future. But you should know that I've always regarded you as my younger sister!"
Shen Yu frowned, smiled and ruffled Fu Xiaotong's hair, with the corners of his mouth curving up.
Fu Xiaotong pouted, with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
"Also... stop spreading the rumor that you're my ex - girlfriend outside!"
Shen Yu continued calmly. He washed his hands and started to get busy.
"I didn't spread the rumor. It was... others who spread it!"
Fu Xiaotong stood there with her head down, looking a bit guilty.
Staring at Shen Yu's busy back, she was in a daze and didn't know how to respond.
"I'm so annoyed. Why don't you like me? I'm going home to wallow in misery!"
Fu Xiaotong said helplessly and walked out.
"Have breakfast here before you go. I've made you some hangover soup!"
Shen Yu shook his head helplessly, with a smile on his lips.
Lin Yangcong had gone to work early, saying that he would try to come back early in the afternoon to take them out for a meal at a restaurant.
Only the three of them were left looking at each other. Since Yi Pin was a boy, he got over his anger quickly and completely forgot about what had happened the day before.
The two of them praised Shen Yu's cooking while having breakfast.
Shen Yu smiled faintly and picked up a piece of egg for Yi Pin.
Fu Xiaotong, who was sitting beside them, naturally couldn't stand it.
"A Yu, I want some too!"
Fu Xiaotong held out her bowl in front of Shen Yu and said in a coquettish voice.
"I... I want some too!"
Yi Pin also held out his bowl in front of Shen Yu and raised his eyebrows at Fu Xiaotong.
Shen Yu shook his head helplessly, caught between the two of them.
"Get it yourself!"
Then Fu Xiaotong still didn't give up and continued, "A Yu, accompany me for a stroll today!"
"No way. He's so busy. He doesn't have time to waste on you!" Yi Pin refused first.
"Who are you to him! How dare you make decisions for him!"
...
So, early in the morning, the room was filled with their bickering.
Shen Yu just watched coldly with a smile on his lips.
He stared quietly at Yi Pin in front of him, and the smile on his face grew wider.
"Okay, I'm going to the school. You two clean up the dishes!"
After saying that, Shen Yu picked up his clothes and walked out.
He left the two rivals glaring at each other.
After Shen Yu left, the atmosphere became cold.
"Do you like A Yu?"
Fu Xiaotong asked indignantly.
"So what if I do? It's none of your business!"
Yi Pin replied coldly and continued to eat his food.
"Don't ruin A Yu's future. He's a teacher, a role model for students. Do you know what that means? Your existence will only put him in an embarrassing situation!"
Fu Xiaotong put down her chopsticks and said coldly.
Then she stood up, picked up her handbag and walked out.
Yi Pin, who was sitting beside her, didn't know how to refute. He stood there stunned, frowning.
"You pervert. You're so disgusting!"
Before leaving, Fu Xiaotong didn't forget to say this and then left arrogantly.
Yi Pin was left standing there stunned, sitting still for a long time as if time had stopped.
All day long, Yi Pin stayed at home, sitting on the tatami on the balcony, quietly looking outside. The clear sky, the rare sunlight shining down, and the bustling crowd all seemed to be busy with their own things.
Not far away, there were several pairs of lovers taking a stroll.
Everything seemed so dull but also so full of enjoyment.
Sitting in the same position for the whole morning, Yi Pin finally received a call.
"Come down!"
Shen Yu just said two cold words.
Yi Pin looked towards the front gate. It was Shen Yu. Shen Yu was standing there with a faint smile on his lips, waving at Yi Pin.
Yi Pin put on his coat and walked out.
"What were you thinking about? You looked so deep in thought!"
Shen Yu asked with the corners of his mouth curving up, looking at Yi Pin in front of him.
In Yi Pin's mind, Fu Xiaotong's words "pervert" and "disgusting" kept echoing.
"It's okay. Let's go!"
The two of them didn't say a word on the way. Shen Yu kept looking back at Yi Pin and smiling as he ruffled his hair.
"Drive properly!"
Yi Pin swallowed hard. Lately, he had always been daydreaming. Looking at Shen Yu's perfect profile and fair, delicate skin, he didn't look like a man almost in his thirties at all. Instead, he looked like a handsome teenager of seventeen or eighteen.
Shen Yu shrugged and smiled.
This smile made his face look even brighter and more irresistible. Yi Pin felt a bit dizzy and in a daze.
After driving for a while, the car stopped in front of a very distinctive farmhouse.
Lin Yangcong was standing at the door, smiling and waving.
Looking at the bamboo - surrounded railing and the orchard with fruit trees, Yi Pin raised his eyebrows.
"This is really so 'Lin Yangcong'!"
Shen Yu, who was standing beside him, smiled, with a gentle look on his face.
