âThe feeling of wanting to protect you by your side is very strong, and itâs even stronger because youâve lost contact with me.â
âZuo Yue, give me a chance. Even if itâs just a try, donât push me away too early.â
âYouâve lost a lot of weight compared to the past few days. If I can stay by your side, Iâll definitely raise you until youâre fat and wonât let you suffer any grievances.â
âDonât run too fast. Give us a chance, okay?â
Yin Ruisheng had said so many things in a row that Zuo Yue was somewhat absent-minded.
Yin Ruishengâs handsome face was in front of her, but Xu Chengfengâs cold face was reflected in her mind.
âBig Brother Rui Shengâ¦â
âI donât mind if you canât accept it, but donât avoid me. At least weâre still friends. If thereâs anything you need, you can find me at any time. You donât have to bear it alone. After all, youâre not familiar with this place.â
Zuo Yue lowered her head.â Then letâs be friends. Iâm not ready yet. Besides, I donât have the mood to do that right nowâ¦â
Yin Ruisheng looked at her for a long time. He was sure that she meant what she said. Although he was a little disappointed, he still smiled generously and let go of her.
Zuo Yue hurriedly took a step back and finally pulled herself out of the aura on his body.
It was differentâ¦It really felt differentâ¦
Even if Yin Rui was tall, handsome, and charming, even if many young girls were obsessed with him, even if he gave people a feeling that he was not annoying at all, on the contrary, when he was overbearing, he would be overbearing, and when he should give in, he would give in.
He was really a very, very good person.
However, she found that she could not be moved no matter what.
Her heart felt as if it was completely filled with a person.
Before this, she was not sure whether her feelings for Xu Chengfeng were those of a man and a woman, or just pure infatuation.
At this moment, she was finally certain.
Her uncle was irreplaceable in her world. He occupied everything in her and made her unable to extricate herself.
At the thought of this, she suddenly glanced at the pair of menâs indoor slippers in front of the door. She recalled the scene in the morning when Xu Chengfeng laughed and mocked her in Russian as a child who gave her a headache. Her face suddenly turned hot and her heart beat wildly.
Noticing where Zuo Yueâs eyes were looking, Yin Ruisheng paused for a moment and looked over as well.
When he saw the pair of indoor shoes, his eyes froze and he looked at Zuo Yue.
Seeing the flash of emotion in Zuo Yueâs eyes and her gradually blushing face, his heart skipped a beat.ââZuo Yue, you?â
Zuo Yue regained her senses and looked up at him.ââIâll call them down. Thereâs nothing to eat at home. You guys didnât eat before you came, right? Thereâs a big supermarket across the street, and thereâs a good French restaurant downstairs.â
As she spoke, Zuo Yue turned and ran upstairs.
Yin Ruisheng stood where he was and looked back at the pair of indoor shoes in front of the door. His eyes were thoughtful.
If he saw it correctly, Zuo Yueâs expression when she looked at the pair of shoes earlierâ¦
Yin Ruisheng frowned.
..
âAiya, you two are talking so quickly? I thought Big Brother Ruisheng would hug you and chat with you for a long time after finally seeing you. I didnât expect Big Brother Ruishengâs combat strength to disappoint me so much!âJulie and Viena giggled as they walked down the stairs.
âHe and I are just friends. Can the two of you not always match up?âZuo Yue rolled her eyes at them.
However, Julie ignored her. When she arrived downstairs, she looked at Yin Ruisheng excitedly. Her eyes were obviously asking if he had taken down Zuo Yue. Her eyes were burning with all kinds of gossipy flames.
Yin Ruisheng sighed and shook his head, meaning that he didnât intend to pester Zuo Yue too much when she didnât have any thoughts.
Julie pouted in disappointment and turned to Zuo Yue.ââWhy are you so stubborn? So many girls want to woo Ruisheng Bro but canât get him. Weina and I even brought him here to see you, but you donât know how lucky you are. Itâs rare for Ruisheng Bro to put in so much effort for a girl, but he was rejected. Itâs heartbreaking to see him.â
âIf your heart aches, then go ahead. You know that heâs a good man, but you still want to push him to me. Are you out of your mind?âZuo Yue smiled and pushed her.â This topic ends here and now. Brother Ruisheng and I are just very good friends. Just like you guys, we are good friends. Letâs go and eat.ââ
Julie rolled her eyes at her.â Donât the Chinese have a saying that âkeep your fertile water within your own fieldsâ?â
âStop coming. Letâs go, letâs go. Our house is so big that it canât accommodate the three of you. Go eat. Donât stand at home looking at each other.âZuo Yue nudged Julie and Weina, then turned to Yin Ruisheng with a smile.ââYou guys sit on the sofa and eat some fruit. Wait for me. Iâll go change my clothes and come back soon.â
âYou just remembered to change your clothes? I thought you were going to eat with us in your pajamas.âVera said with a smile.
Zuo Yue ignored them and quickly returned to the bedroom upstairs. She simply combed her hair into a ponytail and changed into a thick and warm cashmere coat.
When she was finally done packing and was about to leave with them, Julie and Viena walked to the front and were about to change their shoes when they noticed the pair of menâs indoor shoes at the door. They looked at each other in surprise and then turned back to Zuo Yue.âZuo Yue, why is there a man in your houseâ¦â
Yin Ruisheng stood behind Zuo Yue and did not speak. Zuo Yue also glanced at them.
Before he could explain, the door suddenly opened.
When Xu Chengfengâs figure appeared in front of the door, not only did Julie, Weina, and Yin Ruisheng not recover from their shock, even Zuo Yue was stunned.
Xu Chengfengâs gaze was very calm when he saw the young people in front of him who were not unfamiliar but not particularly familiar. He then looked at Zuo Yue calmly.ââGoing out?â
âUhâ¦There wasnât much to eat at home, so I wanted to go to the French restaurant opposite with them. We wouldnât go too far.âZuo Yue told him honestly.
âIs this Zuo Yueâs super handsome uncle?âJulie and Weina whispered to each other and looked at Xu Chengfeng from time to time. Their eyes were red.
Zuo Yue was about to ask them how they knew about her uncle. After all, she did not seem to have mentioned it before. However, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have any special reaction to what Julie and Weina said.
His gaze only landed in the direction of Yin Ruisheng. Just a moment ago, Yin Ruisheng was originally standing behind Zuo Yue. The moment he saw Xu Chengfeng enter the door, he suddenly placed his hand gently on Zuo Yueâs shoulder.
