"Hmm." Wen Yan nodded slightly, and her expression and tone when she spoke were very natural.

"He said that he is the same age as you, you are good friends, and he has also come to our house for dinner, and our two families are worldly friends, and he is a few years older than me, so I can't call him by his full name directly."

Shen Jingxiu: "............" If I remember correctly, she seems to have called the words 'Shen Jingxiu' when she revealed her heart, isn't she a few years older than her?

He glanced at Ji Yuanzhou not far away again, and then asked Wen Yandao:

"Do you see each other often in private?"

"Nope. He's seen him twice since he came to our house for dinner that day. ”

Shen Jingxiu: "............" is still called 'just' twice?

"But aren't you very busy, many times your mother wants to see you and you are not available."

"Hey, isn't that when you're busy, you don't have time, I've just been idle lately, haven't I been at home all the time some time ago, and I see my mother every day."

"Then I'm a little curious about the occasion when you all met."

Wen Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Jingxiu: "It's rare that big brother, you also have a time to break the casserole and ask to the end." ”

Shen Jingxiu smiled reluctantly: "Then do you mean it or not?" I remember when he came to our house that day, my mother tried to match you, but you said you didn't like him. Why, you changed your mind after spending two times in private? ”

One of the times Shen Jingxiu knew.

At that time, it was rumored on the Internet that Wen Yan and an actor from her company lived in the same hotel and spent a day and a night together.

As a result, someone released a photo of her going out to play in the playground during the day to clarify for her, and one of the people who was with her was Ji Yuanzhou.

But another time, Shen Jingxiu didn't know.

And Wen Yan immediately denied it after hearing Shen Jingxiu's question.

"Nope! Although I don't have a favorite person at the moment, I think I should be the kind of person who is a trickle and a long stream, not the kind of person who falls in love at first sight or meets twice and can assume that the other person will be able to accompany me for the rest of my life. And both of my meetings with your friend were coincidences.

The first time I went to work in City B, I happened to stay in his hotel, and he happened to be running errands there. Then we had a meal together and went to the playground to play, and He Xing also went that day.

As for the second coincidence, it was this tour. I just knew he was here a day before you did. No, it's technically a morning and a night. ”

"Early evening?" Shen Jingxiu was even more puzzled, "You've already met him?" Didn't you just meet it when you were picking up seashells? ”

Wen Yan shook his head: "No, I actually met him by chance last night." ”

"When? From getting off the plane to the hotel, to dinner, we were all together as a family, why didn't I see him? ”

"Because he didn't appear during the time you said. I couldn't sleep at night, so I simply went to the hotel's big open-air to watch the night view, and I happened to meet him there. Then we chatted for dozens of minutes before we went our separate ways. ”

Actually chatted for dozens of minutes? That's not the usual style of the Epoch Continent.

"Then you should be able to talk?" Shen Jingxiu continued to ask.

Wen Yan nodded and replied, "It's a good chat." ”

"And what did he tell you?"

"............" Wen Yan couldn't help but look at Shen Jingxiu, "What's wrong with you, big brother, it feels like you're interrogating a prisoner now." ”

"Why, even if I'm a police officer, you can't be a criminal, I'm just more interested."

"Okay," Wen Yan didn't mind chatting with Shen Jingxiu in such detail, but she felt that Shen Jingxiu today was a little different from usual, "I just talked about whether I like to travel or not, what I like to do in my daily life, and my attitude towards life, and other topics, nothing special." ”

Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I see." ”

But he Ji Yuanzhou will take the initiative to talk to a person of the opposite sex, these family routines are very special in itself.

It's just that Wen Yan doesn't know him, so he doesn't think there is anything special about these topics.

But if Ji Yuanzhou doesn't have a good impression of a person, he will never talk about life with that person.

For a while, Shen Jingxiu was silent.

Seeing that he seemed to be in deep thought, Wen Yan couldn't help but quip, "Oh, I see." ”

Shen Jingxiu came back to his senses: "What do you know?" ”

Wen Yan narrowed his eyes: "The two of you grew up together, he must know a lot of things about you." You must be wondering if I talked to him about your ugliness. ”

Shen Jingxiu chuckled: "Your thinking is always so out-of-the-box. ”

Wen Yan's inner OS: [You don't understand, jumping out is always a nirvana to pierce the embarrassment and coldness, it doesn't matter if I'm stupid, but I can't be cold in my presence]

Hearing Wen Yan's heart, Shen Jingxiu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Fool, this is nothing embarrassing or cold, even if he doesn't say a word and does his own thing with her, he won't feel uncomfortable.

As he spoke, Ji Yuanzhou had already returned with Wen Yan's flip-flops.

Out of courtesy, Wen Yan took the initiative to pick it up.

But she didn't expect Ji Yuanzhou to squat down in front of her, personally put the slippers at Wen Yan's feet, and almost put them on for her.

Shen Jingxiu's eyebrows were so furrowed that they were about to fold.

This is something that Epoch Continent has never done before.

Shen Jingxiu stood in place with a cold face, waiting for Wen Yan and Ji Yuanzhou, who had put on their shoes, to come over.

Then silently squeezed into the middle of the two.

Ji Yuanzhou and Shen Jingxiu have been old friends for many years, and seeing this, he did not approach Wen Yan anymore, but walked silently next to Shen Jingxiu.

After walking a few steps, Ji Yuanzhou suddenly spoke: "Jing Xiu, let's talk about it in a while." ”

"Okay," Shen Jingxiu immediately responded, "That's what I mean." By the way, how many days are you going to stay this time? ”

"Hmm......" Ji Yuanzhou hesitated for two seconds, "It depends on the situation, right?" ”

It depends? Shen Jingxiu looked sideways at his friend: "What's the situation?" ”

Ji Yuanzhou hooked the corners of his lips: "Jing Xiu, I found that you have a lot of questions today." ”

"............" Shen Jingxiu glanced at Ji Yuanzhou and was speechless.

He has a lot of problems, and that's also because Ji Yuanzhou first looked abnormal.

A person who likes to make plans for everything, he has no plan when he goes out to travel for a few days, and he actually has to look at the situation temporarily?

What is the situation to which he is referring to it? Warm face?

After a few more casual chats along the way, the three of them quickly returned to the tent.

Shen Yuan and Su Yang were surprised to see Ji Yuanzhou.

Ji Yuanzhou came forward to greet them, and after explaining the situation, Su Yang asked Qin Yulong.

Wen Yan whispered to Su Yang, telling her that Qin Yulong's sudden departure was actually because of her menstrual period.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Shen Jingxiu and Ji Yuanzhou also changed places to speak.

It was Ji Yuanzhou who spoke first to break the silence.

"You don't look good today, and you don't look welcome to me, my instincts are right?"

Shen Jingxiu frowned and looked at his friend: "It's good if you know." ”

Ji Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows: "Then can I ask what the reason is?" ”

"Are you playing dumb with me?"

"NO, I just don't understand. I don't even understand what you mean by pretending to be stupid? ”

"What? Chief, you should have lied to me. Now that Wen Yan is not here, I ask you again, why are you here, is it really a coincidence? ”

"Why can't it be?"

"Yuanzhou, we have been good friends for many years, have I ever cheated on you? You're a person who plans everything in advance, and this trip wasn't on your plans at all this year, and you couldn't be here for no reason? If you treat me as a brother, don't be perfunctory to me. ”

"Okay," Ji Yuanzhou scratched his head a little uncomfortably, "I know this behavior is very different from me, but I do it now. I'm actually—"

"Go on."

"I actually watched your sister's live broadcast, I know that your family will come to the southern hemisphere for a vacation during the Spring Festival, but I don't know where you chose, but when I watched her live broadcast yesterday, her camera swept to your travel plan this time, which has a very detailed arrangement. So yes, I'm here for her. ”

"Sure enough......"

"Don't be like this, why are your brows furrowed so tightly? Is that why you're angry with me about this? But when you asked me in front of your sister, I can't tell me the real reason, I'm afraid I'll scare her, and I don't want her to think I'm some stalker. I think she's a very simple person, and I don't want her to think I'm very purposeful. Don't tell her, okay? ”

Ji Yuanzhou has confessed and hopes that his good friend can be on his side.

But he didn't expect that Shen Jingxiu refused and warned him very seriously.

"Dispel this thought, don't have any purpose for her."

？？？ Ji Yuanzhou was puzzled: "Why?" You're my good friend, you know me, and I'm not someone who can't do anything, so why would you object to me approaching her. ”

Shen Jingxiu stared at Ji Yuanzhou tightly: "Have you forgotten what you promised me?" We happened to meet your dad at the restaurant that day, and he deliberately revealed that he wanted the two of us to marry. You told me personally, you said you didn't have feelings for my sister. ”

"What?" Ji Yuanzhou frowned, "Did I forget what happened that day or did you forget." My dad, me, and you, we've always been talking about your own sister Shen Zhirou. No, it should be called Qin Yulong now. We're not talking about warmth. ”

"Yes! I haven't forgotten that, but that's exactly the problem! Your father wants you to marry my own sister, and it is obvious that the only thing he has a crush on is the Shen family's biological daughter, not the Shen family's adopted daughter. ”

"But that's not a problem."

"Yuanzhou! How dare you talk so much? Growing up, have you ever disobeyed your father? Whether it's when you leave your home to expand abroad, or when your career is booming, what is not what your dad meant? He asked you to marry the daughter of a famous family, will you marry an adopted daughter from an orphan and go home?

"I understand what you mean by Wen Yan now, and I can tell you very clearly now that she has no feelings for you. You're just a good friend of her eldest brother to her, an older brother to hers, and that's it.

"Don't do anything anymore, and since there's no result, don't happen anything that shouldn't happen. I don't want to end up with no way to end it, when the time comes, it will be difficult for you to do it in the Ji family, and she will also be hurt. ”

"............" Ji Yuanzhou was silent.

It took a long while for his eyes to refocus on Shen Jingxiu's face.

"You're my best brother, and I feel like you're the one who knows me the most in the world. But now even you want to stop me from pursuing my heart's desire? I've never enjoyed watching someone laugh, listening to her, or watching her eat. Will you even stop me? ”

"Yuanzhou, of course I hope you can be happy. But your happiness should not be based on her pain. ”

“！ But why do you think I'm going to cause her pain? Have you ever been to a playground with her, have you ever talked about life with her on the beach under the stars? Maybe it's true that you say she doesn't have feelings for me, but she doesn't dislike me, and there is hope between me and her. ”

"No," Shen Jingxiu's tone was resolute, "You can take her on the risk, but I can't, and I won't allow you to do so." There are many women who look good when they laugh, and you change to chase them. ”

Ji Yuanzhou was silent again.

He looked at Shen Jingxiu, and after a long while, he suddenly chuckled.

"Another one to chase? If you change it, you don't care if that woman is the right person with me, right? You only care about your sister. No, Jing Xiu, you shouldn't have thought of her as your sister, right? You care about her more than your brother cares about your sister.

"You showed your possessiveness on the beach just now, you are not allowed to help her carry things, and you will destroy me if I walk closer to her. Shen Jingxiu, after being adopted by your Shen family, she is also surnamed Shen, she is now a family member in the household registration book with you, do you have that kind of mind for your sister?

You think I like her and hurt her just because my dad doesn't agree. What about your like? Have you ever thought about Aunt Sue's feelings? Ever wondered how your dad felt? Is it better than me for you to cut off her peach blossom and forcibly keep her by your side? You are more selfish and despicable like this. ”

"............" For a moment, Shen Jingxiu couldn't hear any sound in his ears.

After Ji Yuanzhou said that his feelings for Wen Yan surpassed his brother's feelings for his sister, a buzzing sound sounded in his head, as if he had turned into a wooden man for a moment, and as if he had been struck by lightning.

It took him a while to regain his senses.

"Nonsense." He heard himself say this, but he didn't know whether he had the confidence to say this, "Yuanzhou, you are excessive." She's my sister, whether it's her or my own sister, or my brothers, and I don't want them to be hurt emotionally! No one should hurt my family, not even my best friend. (End of chapter)
