Some thoughts, once formed in the mind, will be like an unstoppable flood that has burst through a dam.
Su Xiyan returned to her bedroom, still holding half-eaten apple in her hand.
She was usually very careful about managing her figure. She would absolutely not eat anything before going to bed at night.
Even drinking water was very restrained.
That's why she was always able to maintain such a perfect figure and body shape.
Today was an exception. She didn't know why, but she just really wanted to taste the apple to see if it was good.
In fact, Su Xiyan didn't usually like eating apples much. The first time Chen Shuo came to her home to clean, he took a bite of an apple she had bought and complained that it was too unpalatable.
After that, every time Chen Shuo went to buy groceries, or on his way back from school, he would habitually look out for any fresh apples for sale.
Su Xiyan felt that Chen Shuo was a boy with a very good aptitude for homemaking.
She had to admit, the apples Chen Shuo bought did taste much better than the ones she bought herself.
Unknowingly, Chen Shuo's living habits had slowly integrated into Su Xiyan's life.
Su Xiyan's cherry lips parted slightly as she took another bite of the crisp, sweet apple.
At this moment, what she was thinking about in her mind was still the issue of Chen Shuo's future partner.
She imagined Chen Shuo living with another girl in the future, attentively taking care of her in this way, what would that scene look like?
"Crack!"
Only then did Su Xiyan notice that the apple in her hand had been crushed by her grip.
"..."
Cough cough!
The resentment seemed a bit too much.
Any of my, Su Xiyan's, belongings, as long as they are mine, no one else should even think about wanting them!
Same goes for people!
No matter what the relationship is, anyway, if it's mine, no one should try to snatch them! Don't touch! Don't covet!
Otherwise...
Su Xiyan looked at the apple she had squeezed into pieces,
her expression was a little complicated: (⊙o⊙)...Seems a bit too brutal.
Under the lamplight, her eyes were as dark as the night sky outside at this moment.
In the next few days, the cooperation between Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan seemed to become even more tacit.
The favorite thing for their kendo club classmates now was to sit together and watch the training between senior sister Su and junior brother Chen.
The classmates admired senior sister Su Xiyan's graceful kendo moves,
and were also amazed by Chen Shuo's amazing talent.
In just a few days, a junior who had never learned kendo before was now able to fight evenly with the top ace of the kendo club, senior sister Su Xiyan.
Discerning people could see that Chen Shuo was still holding back a bit.
After finishing the practice session with Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo did not leave early, but sat on the outskirts of the kendo hall, watching Su Xiyan instructing the students with stern words.
It is said that every woman has several sides? I wonder if Su Xiyan only has one side?
Because Chen Shuo had not yet seen another side of Su Xiyan's personality, maybe she was disguising it well.
He also wondered what the icy goddess Su Xiyan would be like if she let her guard down and took off her disguises. Wouldn't she be full of girlish charm like her intimate little clothing? That would be too inconsistent with her image.
After Su Xiyan finished supervising the kendo club training, Chen Shuo finally left school with her.
The two may not have said a word to each other, but their actions were very tacitly coordinated.
The cool summer night breeze refreshed and blew away all the fatigue.
While driving, Chen Shuo asked, "I went for a run and bought groceries that I put in the fridge this morning. So we don't need to buy groceries tonight. Do you want to get anything? If not, I won't detour to the supermarket."
Su Xiyan leaned lazily on the passenger seat, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance at the fast retreating streetscape outside the window, as if looking into the void: “Nothing I need, let’s just go straight home!”
Chen Shuo: “Okay. For dinner tonight we’ll have your favorite steamed fish, my favorite braised pork, make an egg and mushroom soup, stir fry some greens—perfect!”
Su Xiyan gave an “Mm”, she never needed to worry about such things.
Ever since Chen Shuo moved in, Su Xiyan had never bothered about the trivial matters of daily life.
But because of this very reason, she was even more afraid to imagine what days would be like in the future without Chen Shuo by her side.
However, Su Xiyan was not worried about this either.
She wanted to see who could snatch Chen Shuo away from her side.
Even if Chen Shuo was only an assistant, she absolutely would not allow that!
At the red light, Chen Shuo glanced over at Su Xiyan.
As she gazed out the car window, her expression was profound and inscrutable.
What a hard to fathom girl.
Chen Shuo felt fortunate that such an unfathomable girl was not his girlfriend. Otherwise, he would have to rack his brains every day trying to guess her inner thoughts—how agonizing would that be!
Under the same night sky, in the same car, the two had completely different thoughts.
The neighbors in Haiyi Apartments seemed to have gotten used to Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan living together.
No longer did anyone gossip about them behind their backs, but rather all were singing their praises:
“What a perfect match of talent and beauty!”
“Could they be big celebrities hiding out secretly in our little community?”
“Yes, yes! Especially that girl, even prettier than female celebrities!”
“And the boy is so attentive to her! I’ve never seen the girl take out trash downstairs herself, it’s always the boy who handles everything.”
“I hope my daughter can find such a considerate boyfriend in the future too.”
“Stop dreaming! Does your daughter have anywhere close to that girl's looks?”
“...”
When hearing these words full of praise yet misunderstanding about their relationship, Su Xiyan surprisingly did not refute or explain.
In the elevator, it was just Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan left.
Chen Shuo took the opportunity to ask: “Just now those aunties said you were my girlfriend, how come you didn’t shut them down?”
Su Xiyan's face was cold: “Their mouths are on their bodies, why should I care what they say?”
Chen Shuo: "???"
Earlier when relations between Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were not yet so harmonious, if they met those gossiping aunties in the elevator, Su Xiyan would definitely not have this attitude!
One time she had scared the aunties so much they didn't dare get on the elevator.
Even more ruthless, she made those aunties in the elevator feel what it was like to experience a living hell. As soon as the elevator doors opened, they fled like their lives depended on it.
In his heart Chen Shuo marveled: When it comes to double standards, women really are frightening!
Su Xiyan retorted: “You’re the one with the mouth, so why didn’t you refute them?”
Chen Shuo stood with hands in his pockets, head held high, a very proud look:
“In the eyes of outsiders, having a girlfriend like you at the pinnacle of beauty gives a lot of face.”
“Why would I refute something that benefits me?”
“If you feel you’ve gotten the short end of the stick, you can explain it yourself!”
The corners of Su Xiyan's lips turned up slightly: “If I remember correctly, you once said a girl's reputation is very important.”
“Now people all misunderstand that we are cohabiting boyfriend and girlfriend. My reputation has been damaged. Shouldn't you take responsibility?”
