Chapter 684 - I'll Be Willful Just This Time

Chapter 684 I’ll Be Willful Just This Time

The uneasiness in Xiao Yunyun’s eyes finally faded away, but she still did not let go of Shen Yuechuan’s hand.

She couldn’t hide her dependence on Shen Yuechuan now.

Shen Yuechuan had no choice but to hold Xiao Yunyun’s hand so as to make her feel at ease.

Dui Fang suddenly felt that he was a third wheel. He understood it was time for him to leave. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to say to Shen Yuechuan, “If you need me to do anything, contact me at any time.”

Shen Yuechuan replied with a “Hmm” and took Xiao Yunyun upstairs.

Xiao Yunyun was still in shock and followed Shen Yuechuan upstairs. It wasn’t until Shen Yuechuan pressed her to sit on the sofa that she managed to come to her senses. “Who… were those people just now?”

“I’m not sure yet,” Shen Yuechuan said, “I’ll find it out.”

Xiao Yunyun nodded mechanically.

She didn’t really want to know who those people were.

Now, she was more eager to know if Shen Yuechuan would at least spend the night with her.

Shen Yuechuan poured a glass of warm water for Xiao Yunyun. He asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want the restaurant to send the food, or do you want the chef to cook here?”

Xiao Yunyun looked up at Shen Yuechuan and asked, “Will you eat with me?”

“…”

“It shouldn’t be a big deal to have a meal.”

Shen Yuechuan nodded. “Yeah, I will.”

Finally, there was a trace of vigor in Xiao Yunyun’s eyes. She said, “Let the hotel deliver the food here. I want spicy crayfish—from Mantanghong Restaurant!”

Mantanghong Restaurant was a hotel as famous as the Moon Chasing House. The food there was of a strong flavor, and spicy crayfish was its specialty dish. When the crayfish was in season, its spicy crayfish was always in short supply.

Shen Yuechuan sent a message to Dui Fang while teasing Xiao Yunyun. “You haven’t been staying in City A for a long time, but you’re already familiar with the specialties of every restaurant.”

“I didn’t know before. Qin Han asked them to send some here once. It tasted good. I’ve always wanted to eat it again…”

The spicy crayfish that she had been desiring attracted Xiao Yunyun’s attention. Her voice finally returned to normal and was no longer dimly discernible because of fear.

After sending the message, Shen Yuechuan put down his mobile phone. “When did you eat with Qin Han?”

Xiao Yunyun thought about it and mentioned a date.

Coincidentally, Shen Yuechuan had a deep impression of that date—on the morning of the next day, he saw Qin Han go out from here.

Shen Yuechuan asked while looking sullen, “How many crayfish did you order? Did Qin Han have to eat them here and leave on the next morning?”

“We…” While replying, Xiao Yunyun suddenly realized that something was wrong. She stared at Shen Yuechuan and asked, “How did you know that Qin Han left on the next day?”

“…” Only then did Shen Yuechuan realize that he was too impulsive. He avoided Xiao Yunyun’s gaze and did not answer.

Xiao Yunyun remembered that she had seen Shen Yuechuan’s car that morning and thought she had gotten crazy because she missed Shen Yuechuan too much.

Now it seemed that she was not crazy. Shen Yuechuan really showed up that day.

She pursed her lips and smiled. “You wanted to see me that morning, didn’t you?” Before Shen Yuechuan could say anything, she added, “It’s useless to deny it. In fact, I saw your car from the balcony that day, but I wasn’t sure until today.”

Since it was useless to deny it, Shen Yuechuan simply admitted it. “I did want to see you that day but never mind. Now, are you going to tell me why Qin Han stayed overnight at your house?”

Xiao Yunyun just did not answer. Instead, she asked Shen Yuechuan, “Why are you so concerned about this?”

Shen Yuechuan glanced at Xiao Yunyun and said coldly, “I’m afraid you’ll suffer losses with your IQ.”

“Actually, you’re just concerned about me.” The smile on Xiao Yunyun’s face became more brilliant. “That day, we ate crayfish and a lot of crabs, and we also drank two dozen beers. Drunk driving is illegal, so Qin Han slept on my sofa for one night.”

It seemed that she did not take it seriously at all.

She overestimated the nature of men and was not aware of any potential risks in doing so.

Shen Yuechuan was irritated by Xiao Yunyun’s attitude and continued to ask, “There are many ways to avoid drunk driving. You could have just called a designated driver. Why did you keep Qin Han here?”

Xiao Yunyun shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, “I was drunk, so I didn’t have time to care whether Qin Han wanted to call a designated driver or sleep on the sofa.”

Shen Yuechuan got angry instantly. “You were drunk?!”

“Yes!” Xiao Yunyun admitted frankly. “I still need to build up my tolerance level of alcohol!”

“…” Wicked girl!

Shen Yuechuan was so angry that he wanted to knock her.

“Brother.” Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with a big smile. “What are you worried about?”

“Don’t think that I won’t teach you a lesson if you call me brother.” Shen Yuechuan pinched Xiao Yunyun’s ear. “Didn’t you learn the phrase “having a reserved manner” when you learned Mandarin?”

“Why do you still ask since you know that I haven’t learned it?” Xiao Yunyun grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s hand and said, “My teacher only taught the basic daily language. What does that phrase mean?”

Shen Yuechuan was so angry that he had no choice but gave Xiao Yunyun a hard knock on her head. “Next time, Qin Han is not allowed to stay overnight here. Nor is he allowed to sleep on the sofa!”

“Why?” Xiao Yunyun massaged the part where she had been hit by Shen Yuechuan. “Since you and Lin Zhixia can be a very intimate couple, why can’t I be intimate to Qin Han? I’m not a teenage girl. We’re both grown-ups!”

“It’s not about age, but we’re in different situations,” Shen Yuechuan said, “There are some things that you still need to think about seriously.”

“Are you serious?” Xiao Yunyun suddenly asked, “Do you really like Lin Zhixia and really want to date her?”

“Why do you have such doubts?” Shen Yuechuan didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yunyun as if Xiao Yunyun was unreasonable. “Do you think I will hate such a girl as Zhixia?”

“… It also makes sense.” Xiao Yunyun hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Lin Zhixia was a quiet and gentle girl who was simply a perfect combination of ancient gentleness and modern elegance. Even as a rival in love, she couldn’t hate Lin Zhixia. How could a visual animal like Shen Yuechuan hate Lin Zhixia?

Xiao Yunyun even started to breathe cautiously. “Then… do you have any plans for your future with her?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yunyun’s heart began to beat wildly.

She had wanted to ask Shen Yuechuan this question since she saw Lin Zhixia.

But she was afraid that if her question was too abrupt, her secret would be exposed. Moreover, she was afraid that his answer would be what she had guessed.

She was still afraid now, but at least this was a good opportunity.

This time, Shen Yuechuan said without hesitation, “Yeah, I’m planning.”

In other words, he had a plan, but he hadn’t made up his mind yet.

It was somewhat different from what Xiao Yunyun had expected, but it still stung her heart.

Shen Yuechuan had dated so many girls, but he had never been so serious.

“How much does he like Lin Zhixia?”

Xiao Yunyun was estimating it when the doorbell rang. She knew that she should go to open the door, but she couldn’t react in time.

Shen Yuechuan pretended not to notice Xiao Yunyun’s distraction and went out to open the door. He asked the hotel waiter to place dinner and crayfish on the table.

After that, he called Xiao Yunyun as if nothing had happened. “Okay, come and eat.”

The dishes were all placed in food-grade plastic boxes, and except for the boiled green vegetable, all other dishes had a strong flavor.

This was exactly what Xiao Yunyun wanted right now. She sat down, put on the gloves, and skillfully peeled the crayfish.

It was because she was so skillful that the hard shell accidentally cut the plastic gloves and her thumb. Soon, the glove was dyed red by the blood.

“…”

Looking at her accidentally injured finger, Xiao Yunyun was dumbfounded.

“Shit, I haven’t eaten my crayfish yet!”

Shen Yuechuan took Xiao Yunyun’s hand, took off the gloves, and let her press the wound to stop the bleeding. He asked, “Where’s the first aid kit?”

“The left lowermost part of the TV cabinet.”

Shen Yuechuan quickly brought the first aid kit, skillfully cleaned the wound, and bandaged the wound after applying the medicine.

Xiao Yunyun shook her tightly wrapped thumb and looked at Shen Yuechuan pitifully. “Brother, I can’t peel the crayfish…”

Shen Yuechuan put a peeled crayfish on the plate in front of Xiao Yunyun and said angrily, “You just eat, okay?”

“Okay!” Xiao Yunyun pretended to be a good sister after being served by him and enjoyed the delicious crayfish meat with a very obedient look.

Shen Yuechuan shook his head and was willing to be enslaved by Xiao Yunyun. The shells in front of him quickly piled up into a small hill, and then his cell phone aside rang.

Xiao Yunyun had good eyesight and saw the name “Zhixia” on the screen.

Shen Yuechuan took off his gloves and went toward the balcony to answer the phone.

When answering Lin Zhixia’s phone call, he didn’t look as serious and stiff as he did when he answered the work phones. His voice and look became very gentle. Xiao Yunyun couldn’t hear clearly what he had said to Lin Zhixia, but she was very sure that she rarely saw such a look on Shen Yuechuan’s face.

Not long after, Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone and came back. Xiao Yunyun was in low spirits and took off her gloves.

Shen Yuechuan pretended not to know anything and asked in surprise, “Are you not going to eat crayfish?”

Xiao Yunyun opened the plastic bowl with rice. “I’ll eat first.”

“Okay.” Shen Yuechuan looked at the time and pretended to say unintentionally, “It’s almost time for me to go back after you finish dinner.”

All of a sudden, Xiao Yunyun’s heart sank.

“Is he going to go back after he answered the phone call from Lin Zhixia?”

Others would forget their friends when they saw their women, but he forgot his sister when he heard her beauty.

Perhaps because she had eaten some crayfish, or for other reasons, Xiao Yunyun didn’t have much appetite for the meal. Shen Yuechuan didn’t ask why. After the meal, he said, “I have to go first. Can you manage to stay alone?”

Xiao Yunyun bit her lip and lowered her head, without saying anything for a long time.

Shen Yuechuan stared at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“… I can’t.” Xiao Yunyun raised her head and looked at Shen Yuechuan with tears in her eyes. “Can you stay here for a while?”

“…” Seeing Xiao Yunyun be tearful, Shen Yuechuan couldn’t say no.

“Shen Yuechuan.” This was probably the first time that Xiao Yunyun had begged Shen Yuechuan. “Don’t leave me alone. I’m scared.”

She was really afraid.

“I will only be willful this time. In the future, I’ll never pester Shen Yuechuan like this again.”
