Seeing Shen Yunli's delay in responding, Zhu Shushu was embarrassed to continue pressing the question. Just when she wanted to start the story, Shen Yunli opened her mouth to explain again.
The voice he spoke was not loud, and compared to his usual normal volume, it was even relatively small.
But it sounded extremely clear.
Holding her hands crossed, Shen Yunli lowered her head slightly, and the hair on both sides fell down from both sides of her face due to gravity.
"Even after all this time, I still like her. To be honest... I know it's impossible for the two of us."
"Why?"
"Because of age."
He took out his hand and tapped his cheek with his extended index finger.
Every time the fingertips come into contact with the cheek skin, the face full of collagen will tremble slightly.
Shen Yunli smiled but didn't pay much attention.
"Because I was still young, he rejected me. He said this was the reason, but the most fundamental reason was that he was not interested in me."
"Think about it. When we first met, I was always against him. Compared with the well-behaved and sensible Yingying, my type is really annoying."
She said something self-deprecating, and then Shen Yunli added.
"I am quite self-aware. It would be stupid to continue to pester Yingying shamelessly after his confession is rejected. That's why I will let him treat Yingying well after being rejected."
Shen Yunli's mind flashed back to the scene when her confession was rejected that night. It was obviously a confession to which she already knew the answer, but she still chose to ask.
After all, if you keep holding it back and don't say it, you will only keep yourself trapped in it and unable to get out.
At that time, Shen Yunli had already seen it clearly.
Although Liu Weicheng's reason for rejecting him at that time was because he was only a high school student, in fact, his attitude towards Zhao Xuanying was completely different.
In her perception, Zhao Xuanying is the same age as herself.
However, Liu Weicheng did not deliberately keep his distance at all. On the contrary, as the time of knowing each other increased, he became closer and closer.
This was all seen clearly by Shen Yunli from the perspective of a bystander.
She knew from the beginning that she had no chance.
It is precisely because of this clear understanding that I was not in a state of despair after being rejected.
She originally thought that as time went by, Liu Weicheng and Zhao Xuanying would get together naturally. However, what Shen Yunli never expected was that she would eventually be intercepted by the school's music teacher.
The appearance of Lin Nianwei broke the original atmosphere between the two of them.
She is prettier and her age is right, plus she is not like Zhao Xuanying who always hides something and expresses her affection like a straight ball.
Shen Yunli accidentally saw how the two got along, and at that time Shen Yunli had already begun to sweat for Zhao Xuanying.
However, Zhao Xuanying was too confident.
Rather than saying that she is too confident, it is better to say that she trusts Liu Weicheng too much.
She believed that Liu Weicheng would wait until she graduated from high school, but the reality was completely different from what she thought.
Thoughts were interrupted at this moment.
Shen Yunli, who had been silent for a while, suddenly looked at Zhu Shushu beside her. After staring at her for several seconds, she then asked.
"In your opinion...what kind of person is your brother?"
"My brother? Well..."
After hearing this sudden question, Zhu Shushu thought carefully for a moment after reacting.
The answer was given immediately.
"My brother used to be ordinary, but now he has become very charming. He is doing well in his career and his personality has also undergone earth-shaking changes. I have always felt that my brother is the head of the family now and he can do anything.
Handled perfectly.”
"Although this is true, in my opinion he is the type of person who easily overthinks things."
"Ah? What does this mean?"
"Your brother thinks too much easily. Even if it is a simple little thing, he has to consider it comprehensively. Just like the matter between him and Yingying, he clearly liked him but always maintained an attitude of not crossing the line because of concerns about his age. He
I'm just afraid that if we really get together, it will have a bad impact on Yingying."
Shen Yunli has always been Zhao Xuanying's best friend in school and in life.
There are almost no secrets between the two, and it was from Zhao Xuanying that Shen Yunli learned a lot of the latest news.
When Lin Nianwei and Liu Weicheng's relationship was established, she heard about it from Zhao Xuanying.
As the saying goes, those who are obsessed with the authorities understand clearly, but Shen Yunli has always watched everything from the perspective of a third party.
She saw it clearly.
Liu Weicheng was not as happy when he was with Lin Nianwei as when he was with Zhao Xuanying.
Although there is no most intuitive evidence to verify this, in Shen Yunli's opinion, Liu Weicheng just likes Zhao Xuanying more.
This seems to be the case.
Even after confirming his relationship with Lin Nianwei, and even if he deliberately kept a distance from Zhao Xuanying, he still often came in and out of Zhao Xuanying's daily life.
Perhaps Teacher Lin was also aware of this. In order to protect this relationship, she never stopped this phenomenon forcefully.
In a relationship, if one party lowers his or her attitude, it will only be a matter of time before problems arise.
"Yingying is too passive... She always thinks that maintaining that state is good enough. She doesn't pay attention to other people's thoughts at all. One of them doesn't dare to take the initiative, and the other stays in place without knowing it."
"If she had been more proactive and had a tougher attitude...she might not have had the following incidents at all."
"Teacher Lin will not take your brother away from her, and she will not pretend to be happy all day long to face him."
"Perhaps what he likes more is that Yingying is not Teacher Lin, so he can't..."
"Stop talking."
Before Shen Yunli could finish her words, Zhao Xuanying's voice came from the door of the guest room the next second.
At some point, she appeared there after coaxing Zhu Qinqin.
He took the initiative to interrupt Shen Yunli's remarks.
She, who had always liked to smile, lost her smile at the moment and just looked at the two people who were looking at her.
The tone was slightly accentuated.
"Why do you keep mentioning things that have already passed? He has just returned to the house, and you are not afraid that he will hear these words."
"I……"
"Okay, let's watch TV. We'll take Qinqin out for a walk later. I heard there's a lantern festival in the park at night."
Without giving Shen Yunli a chance to continue, she casually mentioned the arrangements for the evening, directly ending the inexplicable suspicion.
Then he returned to the room and had no intention of continuing to listen to the conversation between the two in the living room.
After watching Zhao Xuanying return to the house, the two people in the living room looked at each other in confusion.
This was the first time she saw Zhao Xuanying looking so serious.
In the past, Zhao Xuanying always gave people the impression that she was very talkative, but just now she was full of courage in asking the two to stop chatting. Just one look at her made people want to obey.
Inside the house.
Zhu Qinqin, who was stuffing wedding candy into her mouth and chewing it, looked at Zhao Xuanying who was leaning on the door.
Looking at the confused look on the other person's face...
"He already has Teacher Lin..."
A sentence she was muttering to herself came from Sister Yingying's mouth.
The voice was very small, but Zhu Qinqin heard it clearly.
