460 Comparison
“Why are you giving out flyers on the streets?”
“To support the family.” Chu Ning’s answer was simple and perfunctory.
Even though Yan Shen didn’t know Chu Ning’s net worth, he was sure that she wouldn’t rely on giving out flyers on the streets to support her family.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t disturb your classmate’s work,” Bai Ya said, about to pull Yan Shen away.
However, Yan Shen still didn’t move.
“Do you need my help?” Yan Shen was silent for a few seconds before he asked.
“No, no, I…” Chu Ning was about to say that it was fine if she couldn’t finish giving them out. She was the boss after all.
“I’ll help you.” Yan Shen slowly broke away from Bai Ya’s arm and smiled.
“Sis, how about I go shopping with you tomorrow night? Or I can take you out shopping once a week,” Yan Shensaid sincerely as he looked at the silent Bai Ya.
“Yan Shen, you’re out to shop with me today,” Bai Ya suddenly said sorrowfully.
“Uncle Yan said that and you agreed to it.” Bai Ya looked at Yan Shen, who was standing beside Chu Ning, suddenly feeling aggrieved.
This girl, who was quite a few years younger than her, had just taken away her favorite person right in front of her.
She didn’t even say anything. Yan Shen was the one who took the initiative to help her.
For a moment, Bai Ya felt like she was hallucinating.
She had grown up with Yan Shen, and she had rejected all the men around her for him. It was just a walk, but why did she feel so sad and unwilling?
It was probably because of the comparison with Chu Ning.
Yan Shen could ignore her feelings for Chu Ning’s sake. Even if he promised to continue shopping with her in the future, it didn’t matter.
What if they ran into Chu Ning again when out shopping the next day?
Bai Ya always felt that the things that Chu Ning did not care about could not be obtained even if she treasured them more.
“It’s alright, Yan Shen. You can continue shopping with your sister,” Chu Ning said with a smile.
Although she could not forgive Bai Ya, she did not want to affect Yan Shen and Bai Ya’s relationship.
“No, Xiao Shen, you should accompany her.” After Bai Ya finished speaking, she turned around and left with a calm expression.
When she reached the end of the street and turned around a corner, Bai Ya still didn’t receive any words of comfort.
She had lost. She had lost completely.
Bai Ya suddenly touched the bracelet on her hand.
The bracelet wasn’t exquisite, but it had taken Yan Shen half a month to make it for her when he was young.
Bai Ya smiled and asked Yan Shen why he didn’t wait until her birthday to give it to her. Yan Shen’s answer was that it wasn’t like he would only think of giving her a gift on her birthday.
Bai Ya then asked Yan Shen if he liked her. Yan Shen first nodded, then shook his head.
He nodded because he liked Bai Ya as his sister, and he shook his head because he could already distinguish between kinship and romantic love.
“Chu Ning, I didn’t want to deal with you, but you always jump out at the wrong time,” Bai Ya mumbled to herself as she rubbed the bracelet on her wrist.
On the other side, Chu Ning looked at Yan Shen, speechless.
“Actually, it’s fine even if I can’t finish giving out these flyers,” Chu Ning said helplessly.
“You don’t have to make your sister unhappy, especially in front of an enemy like me,” Chu Ning added.
Even though she felt good seeing Bai Ya leave in a huff, she was still Yan Shen’s family and Chu Ning was simply an outsider, even though she was his friend.
“Has the matter at the school gate yesterday been completely resolved?” Yan Shen didn’t answer Chu Ning’s question. He took out a stack of flyers from Chu Ning’s satchel and asked as they walked.
“It’s fine? From your tone, if I hadn’t resolved it, what would you have done?” Chu Ning asked.
“Not much, maybe…I would be worried with you? Does this count as sharing your burden?” Yan Shen scratched his head, a rare look of awkwardness appearing on his face.
“Sigh, you’re really cute like this.” Chu Ning resisted the urge to pinch Yan Shen’s face.
“Cute?” Yan Shen looked at Chu Ning uncertainly and became even more confused.
“It’s nothing. Just distribute the flyers properly. There’s a person-in-charge in the streets nearby. If you don’t distribute the flyers properly, not only will he deduct your salary, but he’ll also scold you,” Chu Ning said with a smile.
“Alright.” Yan Shen nodded.
“Do you know how to give out flyers? You just nodded?” Based on Yan Shen’s family background, he probably didn’t even know how to do housework, let alone give out flyers.
