Shen Shuangjian rarely showed her emotions when watching TV or movies.

When he sees a funny scene, he doesn't laugh like others; when he sees a serious or depressing scene, he doesn't frown like others.

He simply watched quietly, attentively, and calmly until the very end.

"If you love me, then the wind on the ground and the clouds in the sky are my shadows. You love me, but I have to go."

The final scene of the film shows a woman stroking a boy's head, her eyes filled with reluctance, yet she tries to comfort him with feigned ease.

This is a very bittersweet film, tinged with a quiet pain.

It builds up the story gradually, composing a sorrowful melody, until finally accompanied by mournful music and tear-jerking visuals, bringing the story to a close.

In this movie, there are always some scenes that inexplicably touch Shen Shuangjian, but the feeling is too short-lived, and it's over before she has a chance to think about it.

Until the very end, the ripples spread out and merged into one. By the time Shen Shuangjian what was happening, the mist in her eyes had turned into a single, crystal-clear tear, which fell onto the tablet.

Shen Shuangjian's trembling eyelashes, she hesitated before raising her hand. When she touched the corner of her eye, tears had already blurred her vision.

" Shuangjian, what's wrong?"

Gu Xuanlin happened to look up at that moment and caught sight of the tear that Shen Shuangjian had shed. He frowned, put down his phone, and tried to get up.

Following his sudden question, everyone who had been doing their own thing with their heads down looked up at Shen Shuangjian.

Shen Shuangjian's eyes would turn a faint red whenever she shed a tear, like a layer of vermilion rouge, very noticeable but not jarring.

What happened?

Shen Sixian closest to him, so he quickly put down the computer on his lap and knelt down in front of Shen Shuangjian. He frowned with worry, especially after noticing the tear stain.

" Zhizhi, why are you crying?"

In a moment of panic, Shen Sixian blurted out those two words without thinking. He reached out and wiped away Shen Shuangjian 'Shen Shuangjian tears while cradling her face in his hands to comfort her.

"Are you feeling unwell, or did someone bully you?"

Shen Shuangjian never expected that the single tear she couldn't hold back would be noticed, attracting everyone in the room to gather around.

He tried to avoid Shen Sixian's hand, a little embarrassed and not wanting to see anyone. "No..."

Among those present, Yu Sheng was the only one of similar age to Shen Shuangjian, and whose lifestyle was closest to that of an ordinary person.

He glanced at the screen on the tablet, tilted his head, and asked, " Shuangjian- ge, did you cry while watching this movie?"

He observed Shen Shuangjian's expression and saw that she couldn't help but lower her eyelids after hearing this, so he immediately understood the gist of it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've seen this movie too. It's really tear-jerking. I cried so much in the theater that I almost passed out."

Movie...?

At that moment, Shen Sixian and Xie Jinghui, who had been focusing their attention on Shen Shuangjian, almost simultaneously turned their gaze to the tablet.

Two people who almost never watch movies or TV and are rarely moved by anything in the outside world actually can't understand what the trigger for tears is.

It was only because Shen Shuangjian tears that my heart ached.

"I... I'm fine."

Shen Shuangjian couldn't stand the feeling of being surrounded and stared at by several people while she was being embarrassed.

He nudged Shen Sixian's hand, then secretly covered half his face with his tablet, revealing only a pair of light-colored eyes, half-closed and misty with tears in them.

The constantly moving camera captured the entire scene in the live stream.

The fans have something to say about what just happened.

[This intense, chaotic atmosphere is so perfect, it's just the right feeling (I'm intoxicated)]

[So cute, so cute, my adorable wife! I want to nibble on her, I want to kiss her, I want to see her cry even harder, sob sob.]

[That face-holding pose, does anyone understand it? Any girl who can understand me?]

[Girl, I understand you. That tender, loving affection, like you're holding something in your hands for fear of breaking it, or keeping it in your mouth for fear of melting it—I understand it all too well.]

[Wait a minute, why did I hear Shen Sixian call out "zhizhi"?]

[I heard it too, although it wasn't loud, and there was only one sound, but it was definitely Zhizhi.]

[ Zhizhi, Zhizhi, Zhizhi, Zhizhi, Zhizhi, so which zhi is it?]

[Where did this mouse come from? It keeps squeaking.]

[Normally, it should be a nickname or a term of endearment for the older brother, but the exact character is unknown.]

So cute, so cute, I can't resist!

[The password, Shen Shuangjian, I want to marry you!]

[ Xie Jinghui:?]

[Girl, did you see Xie Jinghui's habitual attempt to wipe away her tears, but then being forced to pull back because her brother's hand was also there?]

[Then what?]

[It's obvious to anyone with eyes that this is something the young couple does often in private, which is why they reacted this way.]

[I understand, you mean they're doing a lot of things behind the scenes, right?]

[????]

[What are those two up to in private that makes Shen Shuangjian cry so often? It's so hard to guess.]

[It's not hard to guess. A young couple lying in bed together, would they really sleep in their pajamas? Haven't you heard the saying, "A man in his thirties is like a tiger"?]

[It's obvious that my wife's condition has changed significantly lately; she looks radiant and glowing.]

[A lover is like a flower. My wife used to seem very alluring, but she still had that cool, aloof, and proper air about her. But lately, she's developed a captivating and charming allure, just like a flower that's been watered.]

[You know what, old virgins are really good at keeping men happy.]

[??????]

[ Xie Jinghui: Your mother.]

As noon approached, the others who had stayed up all night yesterday gradually woke up and came downstairs.

Shen Sixian and needed a quiet environment, but he was worried about leaving Shen Shuangjian alone in the living room, so he took Shen Shuangjian upstairs with him.

Xie Jinghui didn't go up with them. He only silently said, "Wait for me," when Shen Shuangjian passed by and their eyes met.

Before Shen Shuangjian could react, Shen Sixian grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs.

Shen Shuangjian had developed the habit of taking a nap three or four months ago.

Shen Sixian knew that he would always be a little sleepy at this time, and was afraid that sleeping in his own room would disturb him.

So he brushed a strand of hair from Shen Shuangjian's neck, smiled, and said, "When it's time for dinner, your brother will knock on the door. Don't watch movies before bed; it's bad for your eyes."

"Um..."

Shen Shuangjian lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Shen Sixian. Just as Shen Shuangjian's hand gripped the doorknob, Shen Sixian also picked up his phone, opened the door, and went into the bedroom.
