Cry louder, I can't hear you.

"Where did the car come from?"

Yun Qiao: "..." Sure enough, she couldn't escape this question.

Fortunately, Yun Qiao had already prepared her explanation.

I won the lottery a couple of days ago.

Shen Suwei's expression held a deeper meaning: "Lottery?"

Yun Qiao didn't notice his unusual behavior and continued to make things up:

"Yeah, I never expected to be so lucky, winning a million on my first try."

Shen Suwei's lips twitched slightly, his tone ambiguous:

"You'd better have actually won the lottery."

"...If I hadn't won the lottery, how could I possibly afford a car?"

"So, you won a million dollars, and you just took it all to buy a car?"

"No, not really." Yun Qiao raised her hand and waved the watch and bag she had just bought. "Don't I still have this bag and watch?"

Shen Suwei paused for a moment.

He didn't speak.

He just stared at her, his deep eyes unfathomable.

half an hour.

"Yunqiao".

"Um?"

Don't you think there's something wrong with your spending habits?

Is there a problem?

Yun Qiao looked at him, puzzled.

"You think I bought this car too cheaply? It is true, compared to the dozen or so cars in your garage, mine is indeed very cheap."

"...What I mean is, you should spend within your means. With your current financial situation, you shouldn't be buying these things."

"If you really need a car, you can buy a cheap one, or you can use any of the cars you have at home that are not in use. Have you thought about the future before you spend all your money on a car?"

Shen Suwei rarely spoke in long sentences, which surprised Yun Qiao.

Of course, what surprised her even more was that these words could actually come from the mouth of someone of Shen Suwei's status.

She blinked:

"...I didn't use it all to buy a car; I kept a little bit here."

"How much is 'a little bit'?"

"..." That depends on how many points she redeems.

But she couldn't tell Shen Suwei this, so she laughed it off:

"Mr. Shen, you're so serious. It's just buying a car, isn't it?"

"Oh, I admit it, I'm a bit vain, but who told those people in the company to look down on me like that?"

Shen Suwei frowned slightly.

Is it that she doesn't understand, or that she simply doesn't care?

Yun Qiao seemed to have never thought about what the future would hold.

She has no plans for her future...

Given her personality, she shouldn't be such a short-sighted person.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, he pretended to be sick and failed the exam.

When the results came out, he showed no sadness and naturally accepted the fact that he was going to the same university as Shen Shiyu.

When she graduated from university, everyone was sending out resumes except her.

Not only did they not have any, they seemed particularly "expecting".

What is she expecting?

Why does she always give him the illusion that she only intends to live to this day...?

But she was clearly so afraid of dying.

Why would someone possess such a strong sense of contradiction?

……

As Yunqiao drove, she felt the temperature inside the car getting lower and lower.

The new car is really different; the cooling function is excellent.

"Mr. Shen, are you cold?"

Shen Suwei snapped out of his daze, glanced at her, and without saying a word, silently reached out and tapped the air conditioner panel with his fingertips, raising the temperature by two degrees.

Yun Qiao was somewhat surprised that he knew what she meant.

She smiled slightly, her tone deliberately ingratiating, "Thank you, Mr. Shen. You're so thoughtful."

Shen Suwei neither looked at her nor responded.

Yun Qiao, realizing she had made a fool of herself, stopped talking.

[This Shen Suwei is really difficult to deal with,] Yun Qiao couldn't help but complain to the system, [It seems like he agrees with everything I say, but it's just agreement, he's completely indifferent. When I praise him, he acts like he didn't hear me; when I try to be nice to him, he acts like he didn't see me; when I confess my feelings, he thinks I'm joking.]

System: [They may have sensed your insincerity.]

Am I not sincere enough?!

Yun Qiao was unconvinced.

We can't let her actually fall in love with him, she'd have to be crazy to love a two-dimensional character.

He's still a villain with a rather unlikable personality.

She's always saying "go out," letting out a cold atmosphere, and giving him a sour face... How self-destructive must she be to like him?

Yun Qiao escorted Shen Suwei home.

Knowing he didn't like her clinging to him, she parked the car, unbuckled her seatbelt, and prepared to make her escape.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Shen Shiyu, who had just returned.

"Huh? Qiaoqiao, you came back with my brother?"

Shen Shiyu was shocked. When did these two become so close?

Moreover, she didn't even dare to ride in Yun Qiao's car, yet Shen Suwei dared to.

As expected of Shen Suwei, he's really bold.

"...It's on the way," Yun Qiao explained guiltily.

Shen Suwei had already gotten out of the car. Upon hearing this, he paused slightly, stood outside the car door, and looked at her with an ambiguous expression against the light of the garage.

Shen Shiyu was hesitant to be in the same space as Shen Suwei, so she took Yun Qiao's arm and walked into the house, whispering to her:

"Li Ruoyan just called me and said he's in Nancheng right now. Aren't you two on good terms? Do you want to come with me later—"

"Yunqiao".

Shen Suwei's voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting Shen Shiyu's words.

Yun Qiao stopped and turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.

His expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion.

"Didn't you say you wanted to work out?"

Yun Qiao was surprised and subconsciously glanced at the time on her wristwatch.

"...Now?"

It's already past eight o'clock.

So hungry.

Moreover, she wasn't interested in fitness; she was just saying it casually before.

"Yes, now."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

He didn't even wait for Yun Qiao's reply.

It seemed that she wasn't given a chance to refuse at all.

Yun Qiao looked at his departing figure, then at the kitchen where the aroma of food was already wafting from, feeling conflicted.

"Qiaoqiao, you even made plans to work out with my brother?!" Shen Shiyu exclaimed in shock. "When did you two make plans? No, wait, when did you two become so close?"

After being bombarded with a series of questions by Shen Shiyu, Yun Qiao gave up on the idea of ​​eating. She pushed Shen Shiyu's hand away and said, "I'll go over first. We can talk about it later."

After saying that, he jogged after him.

The Shen residence is actually quite large.

It's not just big in the ordinary sense, it's the kind of big that makes you get lost if you walk in.

But all these years while she was living with the Shen family, she never went shopping to avoid trouble.

Basically, once they enter the house, they go straight to their own place and don't go anywhere else.

As a result, she had never seen what a gym looked like.

When Yun Qiao followed Shen Suwei into the gym, she was immediately stunned by the scene before her.

The space, which appeared to be nearly 300 square meters, was filled with rows of treadmills, elliptical trainers, and many other large pieces of equipment that she couldn't name.

The rest area, coffee area, changing room, sofa, projection area... it has everything.

Because the Shen residence is located halfway up a mountain, the floor-to-ceiling glass wall in the gym offers a panoramic view of the entire city.

It was evening, and Yunqiao looked out the window to see thousands of lights stretching out beneath her feet, a scene both dreamlike and magnificent.

She was somewhat stunned.

Why bother exercising in an environment like that? She could spend the whole afternoon taking photos...

"Go change your clothes and shoes first."

Shen Suwei offered a reminder.

Yun Qiao turned around, about to ask where she got the clothes, when she heard him say that there were unused women's sportswear and sneakers in the changing room.

Yun Qiao didn't ask any more questions, guessing that it was for Shen Shiyu, or Shen Shiyu's mother, or perhaps prepared for guests or relatives visiting the Shen family.

She went into the changing room and randomly picked out an outfit to wear.

I was surprised that not only did the sports bra fit perfectly, but the length of the sports pants also fit just right.

The same goes for shoe size.

Yun Qiao was surprised. What a coincidence!

However, she quickly realized that Shen Shiyu was about the same height as her.

She must have picked out the clothes she was going to prepare for Shen Shiyu.
