Chapter 690: Dinner Hotpot
A bitter smile overflowed from the corner of Chen Yu’s mouth as he walked closer to Shen Xi. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he wanted to smooth out Shen Xi’s slightly messy hair.
The image of Guan Lei touching her head flashed across Shen Xi’s mind. She subconsciously shrank back and avoided Chen Yu’s hand that was about to touch her head. She also pulled back her sleeve from Chen Yu’s hand.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Chen Yu did not expect Shen Xi to dodge. His empty hand curled up awkwardly in the air before he retracted it.
Four years ago, when he had just come into contact with Shen Xi, Shen Xi would avoid his ambiguous actions and even coldly warn him.
However, after four years, Shen Xi had clearly gotten used to his little intimate actions from time to time. However, today, it seemed as if he had returned to four years ago. This made Chen Yu feel defeated.
Shen Xi also felt that she seemed to have overreacted. However, it was her subconscious action just now. Even she herself did not realize it and dodged just like that.
Chen Yu hid his depressed mood, lightly smiling as he pursed his lips and explained, “Your hair is a little messy. I just wanted to smooth it for you.” Shen Xi casually adjusted her hair and said politely, “Thank you!’
Hearing Shen Xi’s polite thanks, Chen Yu felt even worse. The way he interacted with Shen Xi seemed to have really returned to four years ago.
Shen Xi also noticed Chen Yu’s sudden mood, and the atmosphere between the two instantly became a little awkward.
Just as Shen Xi was about to speak, Chen Yu spoke, “Let’s go down. Your parents are probably waiting anxiously.”
Shen Xi nodded silently and said, “Alright.” Then, Shen Xi turned around and went downstairs.
Chen Yu followed behind Shen Xi and stared at the girl walking in front of him without blinking.
It had been four years. Shen Xi had occupied his life for four years. He had even planned his future with Shen Xi.
But now, it seemed that a plan could only be a plan. The possibility of it being realized was very small.
When the people downstairs saw Chen Yu coming down with Shen Xi, the scene was like a woman singing and her husband following his wife. They all felt that the two of them were too compatible.
As soon as Chen Yu went downstairs, he habitually smiled and happily drank with the elders.
It wasn’t that Chen Yu had never drunk with the elders of the Shen and Lu families. Two years ago, Chen Yu was even deliberately drunk by the elders of the family just to get the truth out of Chen Yu.
Because Chen Yu was a playboy four years ago, his parents felt that it was necessary to test if Chen Yu had really changed.
Hence, the two families went into action together and directly made Chen Yu drunk until he was in a daze. He even said half of his bank card password. Fortunately, Shen Xi stopped him in time.
It was only after that incident that his parents completely accepted Chen Yu.
Shen Xi still remembered that day. Chen Yu, whose face was red and eyes were blurred, protected his collar tightly and said righteously to the internet celebrity arranged by her parents, “l won’t mess around, I’m Xi!s, and I want to keep my chastity.”
The scene of him shaking his head and brainwashing himself made her parents, who were at the side, extremely happy.
Shen Xi felt that it was not true to say that she did not have any feelings at that time. However, it was also true that she could not like Chen Yu the way she used to like Guan Lei.
After that day, Chen Yu did not dare to drink like this anymore, because he was afraid of losing his composure in front of the elders again.
But tonight, Chen Yu seemed to be a little indulgent.
Shen Xi looked at Chen Yu, who was about to drink another glass of wine, and quickly said half-jokingly, “Chen Yu, don’t drink so much. Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep your bank card password.”
When Chen Yu heard Shen Xi!s words, he put down the wine glass in his hand in the next second and said with a smile, “Alright, Xi said not to drink, so I won’t drink.’
Shen Hui, who had just clinked glasses with Chen Yu, smiled with a hurt expression and said, “Xi, you’re being biased. You only knew how to feel sorry for Little Yu, but you didn’t feel sorry for grandfather, who had also drunk so much.’
Shen Hui’s words caused everyone at the table to burst into laughter. Even Chen Yu’s gaze towards Shen Xi was slightly bright.
Shen Xi looked at Shen Hui awkwardly and smiled, “Grandfather, you won’t tell me your bank password when you’re drunk. Why would I be worried about you? I’m afraid that if Chen Yu says the password and the money is gone, our family will have to go to the police for tea.”
Chen Xi’s words did not make everyone stop teasing Shen Xi. It was only when Chen Yu saw that there was something wrong with Shen Xi’s expression that he spoke to Shen Hui, “Xi is trying to save you. She’s afraid that I’ll drink too much with you and hurt your body..”
