Xiao Yunyun just smiled, took the receipt, and pulled Shen Yuechuan into the store to find a table.
Coincidentally, there was a table of two in the corner that just got vacant.
“Are you hungry?” Xiao Yunyun sat down, put the ticket under the box which contained chopsticks, and said, “It’s time for dinner. We may have to wait for a while.”
“I’m fine. I’m not hungry.” Shen Yuechuan glanced at Xiao Yunyun and suddenly asked, “How is it going between you and Qin Han?”
Xiao Yunyun was stunned.
She had been unable to adjust her condition well. After the phone call with Qin Han last time, they hadn’t contacted each other.
In other words, they had never seen each other since the quarrel caused by Qin Han in the bar.
Although they had talked the whole thing through in private,
However, in other people’s eyes, she was so angry that she hadn’t dated Qin Han for a long time, wasn’t she?
Alas, this was all too complicated!
Xiao Yunyun didn’t want to think about it, so she simply said, “What happened between Qin Han and me is none of your business.”
“I didn’t intend to leave it alone.” Shen Yuechuan calmly ignored Xiao Yunyun’s protest. “You haven’t contacted each other since the last time we were at the bar?”
Xiao Yunyun scratched the receipt with her nails and said perfunctorily, “I’ve contacted him.”
Shen Yuechuan asked, “Have you met him?”
“Are you an aunt?” Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan reluctantly. “Why do you care so much about Qin Han and me?”
“You don’t seem to care about it at all.” Shen Yuechuan continued to ask. “Aren’t you going to forgive him?”
At this time, the waitress just brought two bowls of braised beef noodles and gave them a plate of stir-fried green melon for free.
With a snap, Xiao Yunyun put a pair of disposable chopsticks in front of Shen Yuechuan and said, “Eat your noodles! It’s none of your business how Qin Han and I get along!” Then, she suddenly remembered something and stared at Shen Yuechuan. “Speaking of which, you’re the one who is acting strangely. How long have you been single?”
“I’ve been too busy these days, so I don’t have the time to think about it,” Shen Yuechuan said, “but after Xiyu and Xiangyi are one month old, I should have time to find a girlfriend. Wait, I’ll get you a sister-in-law later.”
Sister-in-law?
“Shen Yuechuan has decided to stop playing in the world? Does he want to date a girl and get married?”
Xiao Yunyun’s heart suddenly sank as if she had suffered a heavy blow.
Shen Yuechuan didn’t miss the trace of disappointment in Xiao Yunyun’s eyes. His heart skipped a beat. After observing Xiao Yunyun’s face more carefully, he found that she didn’t mock him like before. Her little face darkened as if she had heard the news about the end of the world.
At this moment, there were only two words in Shen Yuechuan’s mind—”Not good.”
Xiao Yunyun also realized that her reaction was too slow. She threw a mocking look at Shen Yuechuan and said, “You want to marry a decent girl, seriously?”
“As long as I want, it’s only a matter of seconds.” Shen Yuechuan emphasized word by word with a smile. “If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see.”
Xiao Yunyun had to admit that Shen Yuechuan was right.
Not to mention his wealth and ability, just that handsome and extraordinary face alone was enough to make a girl fall in love with him deeply.
This time, Shen Yuechuan might be serious.
Xiao Yunyun was stunned for a moment and quickly hid the bitterness in her heart. She squeezed out a smile and said, “Just wait and see! I don’t believe that you can find a girl to marry so soon!”
Shen Yuechuan didn’t quarrel with Xiao Yunyun, which was really rare. Instead, he shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s hard to say.”
He lowered his head and ate his noodles slowly. There was still a relaxed smile by his lips.
Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help wondering if he had already found a proper girl to marry?
If so, with his wisdom and condition, how could a girl not be subdued by him?
Xiao Yunyun felt sour in her heart. She suddenly lost the appetite to taste the noodles, but Shen Yuechuan was right in front of her. So she couldn’t show any unhappiness and could only swallow the noodles bit by bit.
Shen Yuechuan didn’t seem to notice Xiao Yunyun’s abnormality at all. After tasting a few mouthfuls of noodles, he couldn’t help but nod. “The noodles are very good. How did you find this shop?”
“My apartment is next to it. And I have to walk by the store every time I take the bus and the subway,” Xiao Yunyun said absent-mindedly, “It’s hard to ignore it.”
After the meal, the two of them left the little shop.
It was completely dark. The lights lit up the streets of the city in place of the sunshine. The lights stretched Shen Yuechuan’s and Xiao Yunyun’s figures, but it couldn’t overlap them.
The relationship between a brother and a sister was two parallel lines.
They could move forward side by side, but they would never hug each other passionately as lovers.
The bitter and painful feeling came back to Xiao Yunyun’s heart again, which corroded her heart and made it twitch and hurt.
“Do you want to go anywhere else?” Shen Yuechuan asked, “If you don’t want to, I’ll walk you home.”
Xiao Yunyun was afraid that she would lose control, so she shook her head and agreed to go back to the apartment with Shen Yuechuan.
“I’ll stop here. You can go upstairs on your own.” Shen Yuechuan stopped and said, “I’ll go back home first.”
“…”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t want Shen Yuechuan to leave like this, but what excuse could she find to ask him to stay?
Even if she found an excuse to keep him here, what could she do?
The most intimate relationship between them could only stop at siblings—this relationship was enough to keep them a distance from each other for the whole life.
Xiao Yunyun warned herself to give up and then nodded to Shen Yuechuan. “Okay, I’ll go up. Be careful on the way back.”
Seeing Xiao Yunyun enter the gate of the apartment, Shen Yuechuan also turned to get in the car. He made up his mind and ordered the driver to drive.
Xiao Yunyun pressed the button of the elevator and looked out. Shen Yuechuan’s car had already turned around and slowly went away.
At that moment, the elevator door opened slowly with a slight sound. Almost at the same time, Shen Yuechuan’s car disappeared from Xiao Yunyun’s sight.
Suddenly, as if something very important had been taken away, Xiao Yunyun felt a spasm in her heart.
There was a voice in her heart shouting, “No!”
“Miss, do you want to come in?” The person who entered the elevator looked at Xiao Yunyun in confusion.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t answer. She turned around and ran out of the gate.
She didn’t want Shen Yuechuan to leave, and she didn’t want him to marry anyone else.
She liked Shen Yuechuan, so she couldn’t bear watching him with another woman.
She didn’t want to act anymore, and she didn’t want to bear this feeling alone. She wanted to tell Shen Yuechuan all of it.
However, when she chased out of the apartment, Shen Yuechuan’s car had already disappeared.
Looking at the empty lane, Xiao Yunyun suddenly felt helpless, which she had never felt before.
She loved Shen Yuechuan so much. Why didn’t fate give her a chance? Even if Shen Yuechuan refused, she would accept the result.
She did not want her and Shen Yuechuan to be siblings. She only wished that there was no blood relationship between them!
Xiao Yunyun finally couldn’t suppress her feelings any longer. She squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
If it was because she had lived a very smooth life in the past 20 years that fate had to joke with her like this, then she would rather her following life be full of setbacks.
She only wanted to be given a chance to be with Shen Yuechuan.
As long as this opportunity was given to her, she would no longer hold any other desires in her life.
However, the cold facts clearly told Xiao Yunyun that all her hopes related to Shen Yuechuan were extravagant.
“Don’t cry.” A familiar voice came from above her head. “Get up.”
Xiao Yunyun was stunned. She looked up and saw a young and handsome face—
It was Qin Han.
Qin Han took out a bag of tissue he had just got from the car, took out a piece, and wiped the tears on Xiao Yunyun’s face.
He had just arrived. When he saw Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan coming back from the noodle shop, he was thinking about whether he should leave quietly. Suddenly, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun parted. One went back to the apartment alone, and the other got in the car and left without hesitation.
He had an intuition that Xiao Yunyun would lose control. As expected, he saw Xiao Yunyun rushing out soon, but Shen Yuechuan’s car had already left. She could only squat there and burst into tears in despair.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Qin Han couldn’t imagine that such a happy girl could cry like this.
If Shen Yuechuan knew, would he be willing to let Xiao Yunyun be so sad?
“Don’t be sad.” Qin Han gave Xiao Yunyun a clean tissue. “You and Shen Yuechuan, you…”
“Why are we siblings?” Xiao Yunyun looked at Qin Han helplessly and desperately like an innocent injured animal. “There are so many orphans in this world, but why is he my brother? Why not others? Why?”
These questions might have tortured Xiao Yunyun for a long time, which she had asked herself countless times.
However, she did not know the answer, and no one could tell her the answer.
So at this moment, she burst out completely.
She didn’t really want the answer. She just wanted to let others know how sad she was.
She didn’t want to suffer that kind of pain alone.
What Xiao Yunyun didn’t know was that she had actually asked the right person. Qin Han had answers to all these questions.
However, Qin Lin had specially warned him not to tell Xiao Yunyun the truth.
Qin Han could only hold Xiao Yunyun in his arms with care. “There, there. Don’t cry.”
“Will she be able to go through these pains?”
Why did she feel that she could never overcome them?
Xiao Yunyun sobbed, turned her head, and buried her face in Qin Han’s arms. Her continuous tears soon wet Qin Han’s clothes on the chest.
There were people coming and going in and out of the apartment building, and there were people looking at them constantly. Qin Han said with difficulty, “If you still want to cry, let’s go back first, and then you can continue to cry, okay?”
Xiao Yunyun also noticed the passers-by’s gaze. She wiped her tears, lowered her head and said, “You can go back home.”
Qin Han sighed and said, “Sweetie, how can I go back when you are like this? Forget it. Let’s go upstairs. It’s such a shame.”
Xiao Yunyun had to take Qin Han upstairs.
It was the first time for Qin Han to come to Xiao Yunyun’s apartment. It was not very big, but it was decorated in a soft and cozy way by the little girl, which was somewhat home-like.
Qin Han looked around leisurely. When he was about to praise Xiao Yunyun, he noticed a medicine bottle on the table.
Xiao Yunyun then noticed his sight. She rushed over and grabbed the medicine bottle. While she was thinking about how to hide it, Qin Han’s voice came.
“There’s no need to hide anymore. I’ve already seen it. I know that kind of medicine.”
Xiao Yunyun subconsciously denied, “It’s not for me.”
Qin Han came over and said, “If it’s not for you, why are you so nervous?”
