Chapter 64: Yu Youwei Suddenly Changes Her Mind

Back home, Grandma Shen was still out for a stroll. Shen Yan, whose stomach was growling like a bullfrog, found leftovers on the dining table, heated them up a little, and polished off three full bowls of rice.

Then, rubbing his slightly distended lower abdomen, he went to take a shower, feeling completely satisfied.

After coming out of the shower, he discovered that Wu Yue'er had posted a few more status updates, including photos of several water activities that made all her friends incredibly envious.

Lin Yang: "Crying my eyes out in the bathroom; is it still too late to head over there now?"

Chen Shanni: "Wow! You guys really know how to have fun, I'm dying of envy."

Luo Qiqi: "Hangzhou should have water activities too; let's all make plans for another day."

Tang Song: "Old Shen is having such a blast; bring everyone along next time."

Yuan Mingqing replied to Tang Song: "Let's set it up soon (looking forward to it)."

Zhu Baoping: "That must cost a lot of money, right?"

Huang Shuren: "Young people really know how to play! I'm getting old, I'm getting old!"

Immediately after, Shen Yan received a call from Lin Yang, asking what they were planning to do next, saying he wanted to rush over from Shanghai.

Shen Yan persuaded him: "It's not like Shanghai doesn't have beaches; there's no need to make a special trip. If you want to see Wu Yue'er, just make plans when you get back to school."

At this point, Shen Yan suddenly paused. That's right, Shanghai clearly has beaches and is close to Hangzhou; why would Wu Yue'er go to all the trouble of traveling to Cangnan?

Can't figure it out!

Upon learning that Wu Yue'er had no further travel plans, Lin Yang gave up the idea. He then invited Shen Yan to play games, but after a whole day of playing, Shen Yan was already physically and mentally exhausted, so he refused directly.

Not long after hanging up, Hao Anqi sent a message saying the laptop had been bought and she wanted to have a video call with Shen Yan.

"Beep-beep!"

Connecting the video and looking at that familiar, handsome face, Hao Anqi pouted and began to complain bitterly about Shen Yan's "vile" behavior, saying he shouldn't bully his girlfriend like that.

That cute little expression made Shen Yan feel great, and he feigned confusion: "Isn't a girlfriend meant to be bullied? What else would she be for?"

Between a couple, there must be some playfulness so that the conversation doesn't become too dull.

Hao Anqi instantly saw through his trick and happily took the bait: "You big, dense block of wood, a girlfriend is meant to be cherished and pampered. How did I end up so blind as to fall for you?"

"I didn't even mind that you were blind, so you should just be happy about it."

"You, you, you..."

Once these words were out, Hao Anqi's eyes widened, and she had no idea how to respond.

This guy is getting more and more glib; what to do when you can't win an argument!

So, Hao Anqi changed the subject, asking Shen Yan to describe what the sea activities were like and to send over some photos and videos.

Then the atmosphere gradually froze.

"Isn't that Wu Yue'er? Did she go home with you? And you even carried her on a Jet Ski?" Hao Anqi bristled instantly, her eyes brimming with mist.

Shen Yan hurriedly comforted her: "There's really nothing between us. She went to visit Youwei's home, and we all went to the beach together."

Why did he have to send that specific picture? Shen Yan was almost crying at his own stupidity.

"Who is Youwei?" This intimate form of address immediately made Hao Anqi recall the person she had seen chatting on Shen Yan's QQ that one time.

"Youwei is..."

Shen Yan briefly explained his relationship with Yu Youwei.

Hao Anqi's expression softened slightly. Childhood sweethearts, having known each other since they were small—after all these years without being together, she figured they were just close friends.

As for Wu Yue'er, Shen Yan had previously said this Huniu had a violent temper and he was afraid he couldn't beat her, which made her laugh just thinking about it.

So she said: "I'll barely let you off the hook, but you are not allowed to pay attention to those other flirtatious women out there."

Shen Yan's lips curled upward as he uttered, "I see all people as grass and trees, but you are the only green mountain," which caused Hao Anqi's brain to crash, leaving her giggling like a fool on the other end.

Help! What to do when your boyfriend is too good at flirting.

Honestly, she hadn't felt it when she first got together with Shen Yan, but recently, Hao Anqi noticed that the way Shen Yan looked at her had gradually changed—pure yet seductive. Combined with his subtle facial expressions, the sexual tension was off the charts, giving one the urge to pounce on him.

Otherwise, that day in the car, Hao Anqi would never have allowed Shen Yan to play with her thighs so wantonly.

Things were moving too fast, and she feared she would be devoured before long, not even leaving a scrap behind. Yet, every time she was intimate with Shen Yan, she seemed unable to control herself, just like a child stealing candy—it tasted sweet, and she couldn't help but want another bite.

Unable to stop, that was probably the feeling.

Shaking her head to clear the thoughts, Hao Anqi asked again: "Where's Egg Tart? Call him over so I can see him."

Shen Yan replied that he had gone out for a walk with Grandma Shen. Hao Anqi had no choice but to let it go, then said that since no one was home at her place either, she would perform a dance for Shen Yan via live stream.

Immediately, music started playing, and the enchanting, graceful dance moves kept Shen Yan's eyes glued to the screen, his blood pumping.

Does this girl do it on purpose or not? Showing him this kind of thing every day—even a saint like Liu Xiahui couldn't hold out against this.

The following afternoon, under a clear, sunny sky, Shen Yan ran to a nearby barbershop, preparing to get a new look.

Just as he pushed open the door, he saw Yu Youwei checking out at the front desk. Her original little ponytail was gone, replaced by a head of egg-roll curls paired with air bangs. She wore an orange off-the-shoulder knit vest over white wide-leg pants, making her look both cool and sweet.

"Shen Yan? Why are you here?" Yu Youwei was slightly surprised to see Shen Yan.

Shen Yan said: "Came to get a haircut. What about you? What made you decide to get a perm?"

Yu Youwei smiled brightly, then elegantly spun around and asked: "How is it? Do I look good like this?"

Shen Yan replied that it was quite nice. Yu Youwei was delighted to hear this, then immediately hinted: "I suddenly feel that university life shouldn't just be about studying. If I dress up a bit nicer, maybe I'll meet that special someone."

Yesterday, she had tossed and turned all night, finally realizing that her friendship with Shen Yan had quietly soured. Every time she heard that some girl had a crush on Shen Yan, her heart would tighten, and she would feel completely uneasy, as if something she liked had been snatched away.

Time waits for no one; if she dragged it out any longer, she worried someone else would get there first, and she would truly regret it forever.

With this hint, since Shen Yan used to like her so much, once his sense of crisis kicked in and he confessed again, she would play hard to get for a moment before nodding in agreement, and the two would naturally end up together.

This was the script Yu Youwei had envisioned.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan's pupils constricted. In his previous life, this girl had remained an old maid for over thirty years and had fallen out with Yu Chengdong and his wife over marriage. Why had she suddenly changed her mind?

Women really are fickle creatures, hard to fathom.

After coming back to his senses, Shen Yan smiled and nodded, saying: "This is quite good, but you have to keep your eyes peeled. Some people look refined on the surface, but behind your back, they're already scouting out your family's ancestral grave. You must be cautious when it comes to feelings."

"Giggle!"

Yu Youwei could not help but clutch her stomach and laugh, while simultaneously confirming that Shen Yan still liked her; being cautious with outsiders, but able to boldly trust those he is familiar with—that is what it means, right?

Mmh! This explanation is very reasonable.
