Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

"Ayan's sister is my sister. Hello, sister! I'm Gao Yang, Ayan's roommate."

Gao Yang smiled brightly at Liu Yunshu.

Liu Yunshu looked up at Gao Yang and smiled, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye glistening in the corridor light: "Hello, Senior Gao Yang."

In Shen Shiyan's eyes, Gao Yang was grinning lewdly at Liu Yunshu, while the naive Yunshu smiled back foolishly.

He frowned almost imperceptibly, subtly stepping in front of Liu Yunshu to shield her, and said in a calm tone, "Don't scare her."

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, touched his face, and thought with a wronged look, "I don't look scary, do I?"

The other roommate, who wore glasses, pushed up his glasses and said gently, "My name is Li Zhe. Welcome, Liu Yunshu."

Liu Yunshu also politely replied, "Hello, Senior Li Zhe."

Shen Shiyan glanced at his watch: "We have something to do, we'll be leaving now."

As he spoke, he led Liu Yunshu and An Nuannuan forward, as if afraid that if he stayed any longer, his "sister" would be "coveted" by his roommates.

Just as Liu Xu was about to introduce himself, he saw Shen Shiyan and his entourage walk away.

Liu Xu: ? ? ?

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As soon as Shen Shiyan led the two to the dessert shop, An Nuannuan's phone rang, and she answered it.

After a long while, An Nuannuan hung up the phone and looked at the two of them with a sullen face: "This is terrible. The student council has an urgent matter that needs my attention. I can't have this dessert."

She tugged at Liu Yunshu's hand. "Yunshu, let's get together for a nice meal after I'm done with this busy period."

"Okay, Nuan Nuan, you go ahead and get busy." Liu Yunshu nodded with a smile, her eyes full of understanding.

Shen Shiyan also spoke up: "Business is important, let's go quickly."

An Nuannuan responded, waved to the two of them, and then hurriedly ran away.

The air conditioning in the dessert shop was blasting, filling the air with a sweet, cloying aroma. Shen Shiyan pulled out a chair for Liu Yunshu to sit down. "What would you like to eat? Order whatever you like."

Liu Yunshu held the menu, her fingertips lightly tapping on it, her eyes sparkling: "I want strawberry mousse and mango sago pudding!"

"Okay." Shen Shiyan called over the waiter, told him what desserts she had ordered, and added a caramel pudding. "This is also good, you should try it."

A moment later, the waiter brought over the desserts: a strawberry mousse topped with a bright red strawberry, and mango sago pudding with plump sago pearls floating in it.

Liu Yunshu picked up a small spoon, scooped out a piece of mousse, and put it in her mouth. The sweet cream melted on her tongue.

She squinted, like a kitten that had just eaten candy: "So delicious!"

Shen Shiyan's gaze was fixed on the cream at the corner of her mouth, and he inexplicably swallowed. This cream must be delicious.

Shen Shiyan was startled by his own thought. How could he have such a thought about the cream on Yun Shu's lips?

He clearly only saw her as a younger sister, but his heart felt like it had been gently bumped by something, and it started beating a little erratically.

But the hand had its own ideas, and it reached out to wipe the cream off Liu Yunshu's lips.

A hint of a smile flashed in Liu Yunshu's eyes as she tilted her head to look at the smear of snow-white cream on his fingertip.

She pouted slightly. "Huh! Why is there cream on the corner of my mouth?"

Shen Shiyan was charmed by her appearance, his eyes sparkling with laughter, and he was just about to answer her.

Liu Yunshu suddenly leaned closer and took his fingertip into her mouth.

Shen Shiyan froze, as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.

The warm, moist touch from his fingertips sent a jolt through his body like an electric current, making him catch his breath.

Liu Yunshu gently sucked on his fingertip, rolled the cream into her mouth, and then slowly released it.

Looking up at him, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye glistened with tears, like a hook dipped in honey: "That way it won't be wasted, hmm, it's strawberry flavored."

She blinked and looked at him innocently, as if she had just done something perfectly ordinary.

Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying the cloying sweetness of a dessert she had just eaten.

But when it reached Shen Shiyan's ears, it seemed to carry a scalding temperature, burning his ears red instantly, and even his neck turned a faint pink.

Shen Shiyan abruptly pulled his hand back, the warmth of her lips and teeth still lingering on his fingertips. He placed it under the table somewhat helplessly, his fingertips slightly curled.

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, as if it were about to burst out of my chest.

He dared not look at Liu Yunshu again, and could only lower his head to pick up the water glass on the table, pretending to drink water to cover up his embarrassment. But when the rim of the glass touched his lips, he realized that his hands were trembling slightly.

"You..." His Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he managed to find his voice, which was slightly hoarse. "A girl shouldn't do such... intimate things."

Seeing his helpless expression, Liu Yunshu couldn't hide the cunning in her eyes, but she deliberately lowered her eyelids and pretended to be aggrieved.

"But it's not good to waste cream. Didn't Brother Shiyan say we should cherish food?"

She reached out and poked the mousse in the plate, her voice soft: "Besides, in Yun Shu's heart, her brother is different from others."

Shen Shiyan's heart felt as if it had been gently gripped by those words, a mixture of bitterness and tenderness.

He knew he shouldn't have feelings for her that went beyond brotherly affection, but looking into her clear and dependent eyes, his rational defenses softened like cotton soaked in warm water, gradually losing their strength.

He was silent for a moment before raising his head, his gaze returning to her face, and his tone became exceptionally gentle: "From now on... you're not allowed to do that to others."

"Is it okay for the older brother?" Liu Yunshu immediately looked up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at him.

As Shen Shiyan looked at the playful beauty mark at the corner of her eye, his heart began to race uncontrollably again.

He turned his face away and gave a soft "hmm," his voice so soft it was as if he was afraid of being overheard.

Upon hearing that barely audible "hmm," Liu Yunshu could no longer hide the smile on her lips, like a child who had secretly eaten candy, her eyes brimming with sweetness.

She scooped up a spoonful of mango sago pudding and held it to his lips, her voice soft and sweet: "Brother, try some too, the mango is so sweet."

Shen Shiyan looked at the small spoon handed to him, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his head slightly to take it into his mouth.

The sweetness of the mango mixed with the smoothness of the sago pearls spread in his mouth, but what he tasted first on his tongue was an even sweeter sweetness than the dessert itself.

That was the faint, sweet fragrance she brought with her when she came near.

He had just swallowed when he saw Liu Yunshu scoop out another piece of caramel pudding. This time, instead of handing it to him, she took a small bite herself and mumbled, "This is delicious too. Brother's choice was definitely right."

Sunlight streamed through the dessert shop's glass window, falling on her face and gilding her curled eyelashes with gold. The pudding crumbs on her lips looked like they were sprinkled with gold dust.

Shen Shiyan's Adam's apple bobbed. He didn't reach out to wipe it like before, but simply said softly, "There's something on your lips."

Liu Yunshu blinked, but instead of wiping, she leaned forward, her nose almost touching his cheek: "Then help me, brother."

A warm breath wafted over him, and Shen Shiyan could clearly see the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, like a seductive little hook that made his heart race.

He didn't move, just looked at her, his voice low and hoarse: "Wipe it yourself."

"No, please." Liu Yunshu gently hooked his finger and shook it, her eyes filled with undisguised coquetry. "Brother, you should wipe it."

Shen Shiyan looked at her face so close to his own, the crumbs of pudding standing out starkly against her pink lips, like tiny bait.

He took a deep breath and finally couldn't resist, extending his thumb to gently brush the corner of her mouth.

The touch on his fingertips was so soft that it sent a shiver down his spine; it was even more delicate than the cream in a mousse cake.

Liu Yunshu deliberately pouted slightly, making his fingertips linger for a moment longer.

He was about to pull his hand back when she gently grabbed his wrist.

Her fingers were slender and slightly cool as she gently held his wrist, as if she were handling a precious treasure.

"Brother's hands are so beautiful." She looked up at him, her eyes clear and focused. "More beautiful than any other hand I've ever seen."

Then he looked at the pudding crumbs left on his fingertips and licked them gently with the tip of his tongue.

Shen Shiyan felt a "buzz" in his head, as if fireworks had exploded.

Her movements were undisguisedly intimate; the sensation of her tongue tracing across his fingertips was even more intense than when she had held them in her mouth earlier. That slightly itchy, tingling sensation spread along his nerves, almost making him unable to clench his fist.

He abruptly pulled his hand back, his wrist still feeling the lingering coolness of her fingertips and the warmth of her palm, intertwined and burning him with a scalding sensation.

"Yun Shu..." His voice was hoarse without him even realizing it, and he looked at her with a complicated expression. "You..."

Liu Yunshu acted as if nothing had happened, twirling the spot on his wrist with her fingertips, and said with a smile, "Brother's hands are not only beautiful, but also sweet, just like pudding."

Her frank yet slightly cunning demeanor made Shen Shiyan swallow back the words he was about to say.

He couldn't very well tell her that such actions were too intimate and crossed the line between siblings.

But the inexplicable flutter in my heart was like a pebble thrown into a lake, spreading out in circles and lingering for a long time.

Liu Yunshu's smile deepened, and she asked, feigning confusion, "But brother's heart was beating so fast just now."

Shen Shiyan snapped back to reality and realized that his heart was indeed beating abnormally fast, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

He awkwardly picked up his water glass and took a big gulp, trying to calm his panic.

Looking at his reddened ears, Liu Yunshu's smile, like shattered starlight, shone even brighter.

She stopped teasing him and simply lowered her head, taking small bites of the sago pudding in her bowl. The spoon made a crisp sound as it hit the side of the bowl, which was particularly clear in the quiet dessert shop.

She knew that her brother Shi Yan was about to be "eaten" into her mouth.
