Once inside the car and with the heater on, Shen Shuangjian less cold.
In the passenger seat of the car sat the photographer and a dark camera. Shen Shuangjian and Xie Jinghui each sat on one side, pressed tightly against the car door, neither of them speaking.
The former is hesitation.
The latter is restraint.
After exiting the temporary airport and getting off at the bus stop, a journey of less than ten minutes, Shen Shuangjian was sensitive to the cold, quickly boarded the bus after getting off the car.
Xie Jinghui a step behind him, and when he turned around again, he only saw Shen Shuangjian seemed unwilling to linger for even a moment.
With her eyes lowered, Xie Jinghui concealed all emotions, unwilling to think further. When she got back into the car, Shen Shuangjian already seated by the window, with no one beside her.
Everyone sat in their original seats, chatting noisily and Shen Shuangjian about all the interesting things that had happened over the past two months.
Xie Jinghui pulled her hands, which had been warming in her coat pocket for a long time, and silently sat down in the window seat on the other side of Shen Shuangjian, attracting a few brief glances.
Inside the live stream, the fans, who had been excited by Shen Shuangjian's appearance, were momentarily speechless due to the distance between the two.
[It ended.]
From always being there for you whenever you appeared, to now deliberately avoiding each other even when riding in the same car, was all that deep love just an illusion?
[From the moment you got off the plane, you didn't exchange a single word. So, Shen Shuangjian you don't love her anymore, Xie Jinghui you're tired too, right?]
[Never mind, let's just treat this as a farewell, and let's all be happy.]
[That's normal. Love isn't a one-sided affair. Shuangjian's wife doesn't want to date, why should he be the one to date?]
[Yeah, where's Xie Qingchi? That idiot's acting like a big shot again.]
[I don't know, anyway they said they have something to do and can't get away, they'll be out for two days.]
[Who cares about him? Who can control this idiot Yu Sheng? Why does he start pounding on the cabinet door like crazy the moment he sees Shen Shuangjian?!]
[His fans had only just recovered for two days, and now they're going to have another episode, hahaha.]
[Now, Yu Sheng's fans can't help but have difficulty breathing and break down whenever they see Shen Shuangjian. It's so pitiful, hahaha!]
[ Yu Sheng, a fully automatic trouble-making machine, activated by Shen Shuangjian.]
[But I still can't accept that it ended like this. They just had a fight, right? Isn't it normal for young couples to argue?]
Stop lying to yourself.
[ Shen Shuangjian, please, please, Xie Jinghui, he's about to break (slowly kneels down)]
The accommodation for this recording was Xie Jinghui's overseas estate in Moscow, which is located in Moscow but not close to the city center, nor is it too far from the suburbs.
As the bus slowly drove along the road, no one expected that Moscow's first snowfall would arrive so suddenly.
By the time everyone noticed the frost falling, the ground was already covered with a thin layer of snow.
"It's snowing, Shuangjian- chan, it's snowing!"
When Yu Sheng was surprised to find it snowing, he almost immediately turned around to Shen Shuangjian behind him.
Gu Xuanlin sat next to him and was inevitably affected by the scarf that he was swinging around. His face stung from the slap, and he was speechless for a moment.
Gu Xuanlin: "..."
"So what if it snows? Haven't you ever seen snow before?" Lin Weiluo on his worthless words and couldn't help but retort.
Upon hearing his words, Shen Shuangjian slowly looked out the car window. The car had already begun to drive into the manor. The heavy and solemn buildings, adorned with frost and snow, could surprisingly create a touch of romance.
When the car stopped, the group got out one after another, their expressions a mix of genuine admiration and entertainment.
Wow, what a huge estate!
Lin Weiluo's expression twisted. "Those evil rich people! I'm so envious, I want to buy a manor in Moscow too, sob sob."
Upon hearing her words, Yu Sheng recalled what had happened in the car and naturally retorted, " Moscow? You'd better buy a manor in Capital first."
Lin Weiluo: "..."
"Will you die if you don't talk? Your mouth is like it's poisoned; you'll never find a wife if you don't!"
As Lin Weiluo spoke, she subtly glanced at Shen Shuangjian beside her, her smile provocative, and she even raised an eyebrow.
Yu Sheng: "..."
"Wow, you wicked woman..."
The group of six or seven people had a lot of luggage, with four or five suitcases per person, totaling dozens of pieces. Not to mention the ten large suitcases that Shen Shuangjian being transported over.
Fortunately, the manor is very large, and the living room is spacious enough that even with so many people's suitcases crammed in, it doesn't feel crowded.
In the elegant manor, the central air conditioning kept the air warm, flames burned in the fireplace, and a delicious aroma wafted from the dining room. Everything was so thoughtful and cozy, like a dreamy fairy tale.
"I... I suddenly feel hungry just from the smell. I'll wait until I eat before carrying the suitcase upstairs. Never mind, let's eat first."
Shen Shuangjian's taciturn nature was something people were used to; no one forced him to say more, they simply reserved the center seat for him, making him the center of attention.
"Brother Shuangjian, I'll heat up some milk for you tomorrow morning!"
Yu Sheng cut the turkey meat with a knife and fork, and smiled sweetly, as naively as a big dog shaking its head. "I recently took the time to learn some, and now I can make breakfast very well!"
The atmosphere between Xie Jinghui and Shen Shuangjian was off; not only could the audience see it, but anyone could sense Xie Jinghui's deliberate restraint.
Before that, Xie Jinghui was like a fine net, surrounding Shen Shuangjian and preventing anyone from getting close to Shen Shuangjian.
Yu Sheng was unconvinced, but he had to admit that, on many occasions, he even thought Xie Jinghui had succeeded.
He successfully reached Shen Shuangjian, entered Shen Shuangjian heart, and shattered all other possibilities.
But now, he has failed, and because he was too restrained and too patient, he has not even gained the most familiar yet most unfamiliar friendship.
So Yu Sheng, who had approached him as a friend, couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
It turns out he was quite lucky; it turns out he wasn't so far away from Shen Shuangjian after all.
Shen Shuangjian hesitated, thinking about Yu Sheng's words. He pondered and hesitated, wondering what exactly Yu Sheng meant by taking the initiative to speak and make contact.
If he were to speak, what would he say?
If he were to make contact, what would he need to do?
And why did he start asking himself why Xie Jinghui suddenly stopped talking to him?
Then Shen Shuangjian remembered the words Xie Jinghui that day.
The definitions of those words were too vague, leaving Shen Shuangjian unable to understand or decipher them.
Shen Shuangjian her lips slightly and looked up at Xie Jinghui on the far right.
Shen Shuangjian their eyes met, and he forgot to look away until Xie Jinghui looked away first, at which point he finally stopped.
