Female-dominated society: After becoming fake young ladies, the older sisters stopped pretending.

Composing himself, Shen Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly got up.

It was just a dream, all fake, he comforted himself.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Shen Yan stretched lazily.

He slept from noon until evening.

Tsk!

I've been too indulgent; I need to be more restrained in the future.

The faint emptiness he felt around his waist set off alarm bells in his mind.

From now on, he can only feed one cat a day at most. Although he is still young, he cannot be so extravagant.

Let's go down and see what we can eat; his stomach is growling with hunger.

As soon as Shen Yan arrived at the restaurant entrance, he saw Shen Youchu running around inside, wearing her signature bear pajamas.

The two little bears ran around with her; they were so cute!

Just thinking about the dream he had just had made Shen Yan a little afraid to look her in the eye.

How could Youchu, who is so well-behaved, be the little witch in my dream?

She kissed and hugged him, and even wanted to discuss the philosophy of life with him.

"Brother Yan~"

Just then, as if sensing something, Shen Youchu turned around and looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan snapped out of his daze and quickly greeted her.

"Youchu, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

However, his smile was noticeably stiffer than before.

Shen Youchu clearly noticed it too, but she didn't say anything and still skipped over to Shen Yan.

She took his hand and skipped and hopped to lead him to the table. The two little bears smiled even more exaggeratedly as she moved.

Shen Yan looked down at the table, not daring to look and trying to control himself from thinking about that dream.

That's fake; the real one is this well-behaved and adorable girl in front of you!

Stop overthinking!

He secretly pinched his arm, leaving a noticeable red mark.

Only in this way can he temporarily stop thinking about those things.

"What's wrong, Brother Yan?"

Seeing Shen Yan looking down at the table with a conflicted expression on his face, Shen Youchu, the culprit, bent down and gently took his hand.

She asked gently:

"You don't look well. Did you have a nightmare?"

Shen Yan subconsciously pulled back, after all, in his dream, Shen Youchu had pulled him along like this, leading him step by step into the abyss.

After a dozen or so seconds of silence, Shen Yan sensed something was wrong.

It's so quiet. Why isn't Shen Youchu saying anything?

Shen Yan turned her head curiously, her unease and tension replaced by heartache.

At this moment, Shen Youchu's eyes were already filled with tears, and more of them dripped down her delicate jawline onto her cute bear pajamas.

She pouted, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

She's so pitiful!

Shen Yan immediately bent down and helped her up, wiping away her tears while apologizing:

"I'm sorry, Youchu, I didn't mean to."

"I just had a nightmare, and I haven't quite processed it yet."

Damn it.

He really wanted to slap himself.

Everyone knows dreams are the opposite of reality, so why hasn't he come to his senses yet?

His young Chu is so well-behaved, how could he possibly force him?

Now look what happened. That little action just now probably broke this girl's heart.

"Don't cry, it's all my fault."

After wiping away his tears, Shen Yan hugged Shen Youchu and let her sit on his lap.

He pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back repeatedly.

Gradually, Shen Youchu stopped crying, resting her chin on Shen Yan's shoulder, sobbing intermittently.

She looks exactly like a wronged young wife.

"It's alright, Brother Yan, I don't blame you."

She wrapped her arms around Shen Yan's neck, with a hint of understanding in her expression:

I know you're still stuck in your nightmare, and I don't blame you.

Call ~

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan's tense body immediately relaxed.

Shen Youchu then straddled Shen Yan's lap and they embraced tightly.

Behind Shen Yan's back, a sweet smile curved her lips, and her eyes gleamed with a sharp light!

Where is there even a hint of sadness or pitifulness?

She was right next to Shen Yan when he had his nightmare, but you don't need to worry about how the nightmare came about.

"Brother Yan," Shen Youchu calmed herself down, suppressing a laugh.

"Can you tell me what kind of nightmare you had?"

"I can help you."

help me?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan's vision went black, and he painfully closed his eyes.

Can he tell me about this dream?!

If he were to say it out loud, Shen Youchu would probably think he was a pervert.

Moreover, Shen Youchu's current posture has already reminded Shen Yan of the pain.

In her dream, she held him like this, whispering sweet nothings to him.

The warmth of the girl's hand continued to soothe his heart as she gently patted his back.

Shen Yan pursed his lips and gently carried her to a chair nearby.

"It's alright, Youchu, I'm much better now, don't worry."

Seeing the tear stains on her face, Shen Yan gently wiped them away with a wet wipe and asked with concern:

"Are you alright? It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have let the emotions from my dream affect you."

"It's alright, Brother Yan, I don't blame you," Shen Youchu obediently shook her head.

She then tilted her head back, making it easier for Shen Yan to wipe her face.

After wiping, she regained her lively and cheerful self and skipped inside to find food for Shen Yan.

Watching her lovely back view, Shen Yan rubbed his temples wearily.

What's wrong with him lately?

Why is all I can think about is that girl, Youchu?

At first, I was just thinking about her, but today I dreamed that we were hugging and kissing.

After that, will I start dreaming about discussing a multi-million dollar project with her?!

If he weren't a staunch materialist, he would have felt like he was possessed.

Lost in thought, Shen Youchu had already walked over with a large bowl of pork rib soup.

"Brother Yan, eat this first, the meal will be ready soon."

She took two small bowls and filled one for each person.

Shen Yan's portion was all meat, while hers was mostly bones.

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Shen Youchu, Shen Yan felt even more sorry for having made her cry.

"Alright, you should eat more meat too. You've lost a lot of weight lately."

This girl works out every day now, she's even gotten thinner than a rabbit.

Receiving Shen Yan's care made Shen Youchu feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

The two sat together, looking just like a loving couple.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Youchu brought up Shen Yan's birthday.

"Brother Yan, your birthday is in three days. Sister Ling'er said you should give her a chance; the birthday banquet is being held at her hotel."

"She paid for everything, as a way of making up for her mistake last time."

Swallowing the piece of meat in her mouth, Shen Youchu tentatively asked:

"Brother Yan, how are you feeling?"

"Okay, sure."

Shen Yan didn't care about birthday parties or anything like that.

Anyway, apart from the people around him, he doesn't have any real good friends.

It was simply because the previous incarnation had a fiery temper and looked down on everyone.

However, this also benefits Shen Yan, as he doesn't need to bother maintaining so-called interpersonal relationships.

It was already in ruins; even without maintenance, it wouldn't get much worse.

After dinner, Shen Yan went to Chen Qingning's house as agreed.

On the way, a long-awaited phone call came in, making Shen Yan's eyes light up!

It was my second sister!
