"Qi Yang and I count too." Chen Jiashu chimed in, "Brother Yang, basketball plus the 400-meter dash should be doable, right?"
Qi Yang had no objections, of course, "I'm fine with anything."
"Okay! Then the four of you are a perfect group, and I don't need to look for anyone else." The sports committee member happily filled in the four-person project. Whew, he had finally completed another task!
Back in my seat, I put the form down and contentedly went back to sleep.
The girl next to her glanced at the form, a flash of resentment crossing her eyes.
After school, Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan arrived at the school gate. When they opened the car door Shen Anya was already inside.
Shen Luoluo didn't know what had happened to her mind after she got sick. For some reason, she liked to get close to her. In the past, Shen Anya would always leave in her own car first, while she and Shen Jiayan would share a car.
I've been sharing a ride with them a lot lately.
"Sister, Jia Yan, you're here!" Shen Anya waved and greeted them upon seeing them.
Shen Luoluo gave a curt "hmm".
Shen Jiayan ignored her and sat in the front passenger seat.
"Sister, did you see today's news? Auntie is amazing! She exposed another criminal gang! That news story is trending..."
Even though she knew Shen Luoluo didn't want to talk to her, she kept talking to herself.
Shen Luoluo was extremely annoyed. [It's so noisy, can she just shut up?]
Just as he was about to tell her to be quiet, Shen Jiayan's voice came from behind him, "Can you be quiet? You're chattering away, it's giving me a headache."
Shen Luoluo blinked, [Suddenly I think Shen Jiayan is even more handsome! Not bad, not bad.]
Shen Jiayan's ears turned slightly red, and he snorted. What do you mean he's gotten even more handsome? He's always been handsome!
"Jia Yan, what did I do wrong? Why do you hate me so much? Can't I even say a few more words to you now?" Shen Anya's eyes were red, and her voice was trembling with tears.
Shen Luoluo was shocked. [The villain accused her first? She can cry after just a few words? What kind of trash is she, to be so good at pretending?]
Shen Jiayan was just as shocked as Shen Luoluo, and even more annoyed. He still remembered what happened Xiang Lu and Zhao Ziyan. Stop pretending to be innocent and pitiful in front of him. "You know I hate you? If you know, then shut up in front of me!"
Shen Jiayan is practically my mouth double!
Shen Anya froze as she wiped away her tears. She hadn't expected Shen Jiayan to be so blunt as to say that he hated her. Moreover, she had noticed that as long as she cried in front of her parents, they would feel sorry for her and forgive her. Why did crying in front of Shen Jiayan have no effect at all? In fact, it made things worse!
Is it because Shen Jiayan and Shen Luoluo are close? Or is it because Shen Luoluo is here? Is her Koi Luck being restricted and unable to work?
She had only recently discovered this pattern: whenever she cried in front of Shen Ting'an and Zhao Huizhen or spent more time with them, they seemed to treat her a little better. However, it had no effect on Shen Jingyao, probably because she had never been close to Shen Jingyao since childhood.
Before Shen Luoluo came back, she and Shen Jiayan were close in age and spent the most time together. Although Shen Jiayan wasn't particularly close to her, he would listen to what she said. But now he says he hates her!
Before she could figure out what was going on, the car stopped in front of the villa, and she saw the familiar red Porsche—it was Zhao Yuan's car.
"Auntie!" Shen Anya pushed open the car door and rushed inside. She wanted to spend more time with her family so that everyone would like her!
"Luoluo, Luoluo's back!"
Shen Anya rushed in, and Zhao Yuan also ran out, brushing past her and rushing towards Shen Luoluo.
"Waaah, Luoluo, Auntie's darling, Auntie loves you to death!" She cupped Shen Luoluo's cheeks and gave her several kisses.
Shen Luoluo was completely stunned by her kiss. [What's wrong with Auntie?]
Shen Jiayan was also stunned, letting out a disdainful "Eh," but then laughed heartily.
Zhao Huizhen quickly cleared her throat twice to remind Zhao Yuan to be careful and not to overdo it.
Zhao Yuan chuckled, beaming with joy, "If Luoluo hadn't agreed to let us go to the Songhu Villa on her birthday, I wouldn't have discovered all the evil hidden there! And I wouldn't have been able to write such an explosive news story. Luoluo, Luo Luo, my darling!"
So that's why.
Speaking of this, Shen Luoluo wanted to say, "Auntie, it's so dangerous there, why did you still go? Aren't you afraid of losing your life!"
"Don't worry, your auntie is very capable. I know what I'm doing. Besides, someone has to expose these kinds of things. I saw it and knew about it; I can't just ignore it."
Shen Luoluo's admiration for Zhao Yuan grew even stronger. "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, what's there..." Suddenly remembering her little niece who couldn't hide anything from her, Zhao Yuan quickly changed her tune, "Of course, there are times when I'm afraid..."
The two chatted as they walked inside, leaving Shen Anya awkwardly frozen in place.
"So that Doctor Zhang is actually a policeman?" The conversation continued.
Zhao Yuan: "He's not Doctor Zhang, he has a name, Xie Siheng."
"Alright, alright, his name is Xie Siheng," Zhao Huizhen said with a smile. "It's a nice name, but why are you blushing when you mention his name? Could it be...?"
Does his aunt like him?
"I didn't!" Zhao Yuan's ears were a little hot. She really didn't like him; she was just imagining a certain scene.
Inside, they had to pretend to be receiving treatment, so the two of them had to cooperate by making some noise and commotion. Just thinking about that scene made Zhao Yuan's ears burn uncontrollably.
[Why don't I like it? Did something happen? Let me see...]
"!!!" This is not suitable for children! You can't watch this! Zhao Yuan quickly hugged Shen Luoluo and changed the subject, "Luoluo, is there anything else you want to eat? Auntie will take you to eat next time."
"That music restaurant in the West End is pretty good, and so is the barbecue at the Shenglida Manor..."
Zhao Huizhen looked at her flustered appearance, and then at the harmonious and warm scene of the two of them close together, and her eyes crinkled with a smile.
