A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 7 You're not a couple?

Too close...

Tang Wanwan couldn't help but turn her head, wanting to say something.

But as soon as she moved her neck, she was pecked on the cheek by a warm touch.

Both of them gasped for breath at the same time.

"Hey! ...Stop showing off your love here, take our Wanwan sister home."

Nearby, several people waiting for their turn to act mimicked Shen Xianyu's tone, laughing teasingly, "If you want to be intimate, go home first..."

Tang Wanwan had never heard such suggestive words before. Her cheeks flushed red, and she stood up abruptly. "I'm going out for some fresh air."

Shen Xianyu didn't stop them. This club was privately owned, and the top floor was their exclusive private room. No one else could come up, so there was no danger.

Besides...

He pursed his lips, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.

The others at the card table were puzzled when they saw Tang Wanwan run away as soon as she heard those words. Then they turned around and saw that their good friend also looked shy, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"It was just a kiss on the cheek, is it really that big of a deal?"

"Don't tell the brothers, you haven't even touched her all these years."

Dip it in...

Shen Xianyu felt his mouth was dry.

He picked up his glass, tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing as the icy liquor slid down his throat, finally quenching some of his mad thirst.

He said in a hoarse voice, "She's still young and her body is delicate. What could I possibly do to her?"

She was the girl he cherished most in his heart; he couldn't possibly treat her with any more carelessness than he could ever cherish her.

Moreover, her body cannot experience significant emotional fluctuations.

The others, unaware of the details, were all speechless upon hearing this.

ten years.

That's ten years.

One from ten to twenty years old.

One from age eight to eighteen.

Young men and women in the prime of their youth, who are in love with each other, may not do anything else, but... how can they be so proper?

In the box,
Gu Yunyi looked his good brother up and down for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "I really didn't realize you were a pure vegetarian."

Shen Xianyu: "..."

He tilted his head back and downed another glass of wine, without saying a word, but his eyes were red with unsatisfied desire.

They didn't look like vegetarians at all; they looked like they were starving.

Gu Yunyi understood everything.

He patted his good friend on the shoulder, "It's alright, we've made it through, haven't we? She doesn't seem as weak as you said, and she was willing to come to Beijing early to live with you, so she must have been prepared. Just do what you need to do, don't hold back..."

"Stop talking!" Shen Xianyu interrupted him, her voice serious, as if she were warning herself, "I'm not a beast. What evil thoughts could a girl I've watched grow up have?"

…………

the other side.

Tang Wanwan came out, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the man standing in front of the French windows.

With his back to this side, he stood tall and straight, the cuffs of his dark gray shirt rolled up, revealing half of his muscular forearm.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and his gaze froze.

A girl with flushed cheeks stood at the doorway, seemingly caught in a dilemma.

Jiang Yanzhi wanted to smoke again.

He pursed his lips and looked away.

He stood tall and elegant in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down.

Tang Wanwan paused for a moment, then walked over and stood two or three meters away from him, looking down at the ground.

This is the top floor, over thirty stories high. Looking down, the pedestrians hurrying to and fro on the ground are barely bigger than ants.

The empty hallway remained silent between the two.

The atmosphere had an indescribable strangeness.

This strangeness shouldn't have happened between them when they first met.

Given Jiang Yanzhi's character and conduct, he would naturally distance himself from his brother's girlfriend.

Instead of standing still and letting her approach, he was an adult and knew that such a silent exchange between adult men and women was inappropriate.

In this situation, he should decisively leave to avoid suspicion.

But he didn't move.

Not only did he not move, he even turned his head to glance at the girl not far away and asked, "What are you doing out here?"

His voice was cold and clear, just like when he woke her from her dream on the plane.

Tang Wanwan paused for a moment, then said, "Let's get some fresh air."

Actually, it is indeed breathable.

Seeing him come out, it's true that I followed him out.

The ample air conditioning dissipated the heat from Tang Wanwan's face.

She finally realized how inappropriate her actions were.

Shen Xianyu was inside; she chased after her good friend to come out.

And Jiang Yanzhi actually... tacitly agreed.

What is he thinking?
Tang Wanwan's heart pounded. "I'll go in first."

Regardless of whether she should follow the clues in the dream, she hadn't yet explained things clearly to Shen Xianyu.

She turned and walked towards the door of the private room, and Jiang Yanzhi followed.

Just as he was about to push the door open, he overheard Shen Xianyu's words.

What evil thoughts could a girl I've watched grow up have...?

Tang Wanwan thought she had misheard, blinked, and turned to ask the person next to her, "What did he say? Did you hear it?"

"..." Jiang Yanzhi paused for a moment, "Aren't you two a couple?"

Instead of answering, he asked a question, his tone calm and even.

His deep eyes were fixed on her, as if this answer was very important to him.

Tang Wanwan's eyelashes fluttered, but she remained silent.

Her coming-of-age ceremony had just passed, and she had only just finished her college entrance exams. Before that, she and Shen Xianyu had never truly been in a relationship like lovers.

But they had already tacitly acknowledged each other's feelings.

She even went to Beijing alone for Shen Xianyu.

To say you're not a couple is no different from deceiving yourself.

Jiang Yanzhi's eyes dimmed.

Among intelligent people, many things don't need to be explicitly stated.

As Shen Xianyu's friend, he asked her this question privately, his intentions almost obvious.

And she, though she didn't say anything, really gave him an answer.

“…You,” Jiang Yanzhi was silent for a few moments, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but the door to the private room was suddenly pulled open from the inside.

Shen Xianyu came out from inside.

Seeing the two people standing at the door, he was taken aback. "Why aren't you going in? What are you doing standing here?"

"I was just about to go in," Tang Wanwan said hastily, feeling inexplicably guilty, but the next second, her wrist was grabbed.

Shen Xianyu pulled her in front of him, put his arm around her waist, and looked around.

Finding that it was just the two of them, he frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "What are you two talking about here?"

"..." Tang Wanwan swallowed hard. "I came out for some fresh air and was just about to go back in. We didn't talk about anything."

Shen Xianyu looked at Jiang Yanzhi, "Is that so?"

Jiang Yanzhi lowered his eyes and hummed in agreement, "If it's not like that, what else could it be?"

His gaze swept over Tang Wanwan's waist, then he reached out and pushed open the door to the private room, walking inside.

With a soft click, the door closed.

The air fell silent.

"Okay, let go of me first," Tang Wanwan said, reaching for the hand around her waist.

Shen Xianyu remained motionless, and even hugged her tighter.

“Wanwan…” He pressed his lips to her forehead, his voice slightly hoarse, “It’s been twenty days. There’s no one else here. Let me hug you.”
