Chapter 1401: Yes, I Like Her
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were sitting next to each other at the dining table.
Due to the hot weather, most of the dishes were cooling dishes. Even if there were ice basins around, they were still sweating.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew that Shao Xiaozuo and Huo Xiaoyou couldn’t stand the children’s noise. They hurriedly finished their meal and left, afraid that their heads would explode if they stayed a second longer. However, they didn’t know that Shao Xiaozuo and Huo Xiaoyou had gone to the roof. They just continued to eat dinner.
After mixing it with cold dishes, the dishes started to taste good. Jiang Yue picked up another piece with her chopsticks.
Xue Yan drank some winter melon soup from the bowl, picked up the spoon, and scooped half a bowl for her. He had always done this for Jiang Yue. Until now, Jiang Yue would always wait for him to take it for her.
After the meal, Xue Dafu and the others went to the hall to sit and talk.
Xue Yan was just about to go over when suddenly a hidden guard dressed as a gatekeeper rushed over and whispered into his ear, “Your Highness, Doctor Shen is here. He’s waiting for you at the entrance.”
Xue Yan found it strange, not knowing what his good friend Yuxuan was up to that he wanted to speak in private.
Just as he was about to leave the dining area and go to the door, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Xue Shi had poked his head out. He stretched his neck and looked over.
Normally, no matter who came, Xue Shi would have come running over. But now, he stayed put. In addition, Xue Shi insisted on following them today and went to the street where the Shen Family Medical Center was located. With that, Xue Yan was also wondering why his good friend had come at this time and was acting so mysteriously — it must be Xue Shi’s doing.
Even though he was certain that it was Xue Shi’s doing, Xue Yan did not reveal the slightest bit of emotion.
He went straight to the entrance.
Shen Yuxuan was standing awkwardly in front of the entrance. Xue Yan walked over and the two of them bowed to each other as they usually did.
Then, Shen Yuxuan smiled. “I wanted to come in and say hi to the family. But after thinking about it, I decided not to disturb them. So, I asked you to come out.”
It was mainly because Shen Yuxuan felt that it was better not to make a big fuss about this kind of thing in front of everyone else.
He had originally agreed with Xue Shi and the others to ask his good friend how he felt.
“Did Xue Shi and the others look for you in the afternoon? When I came here just now, I saw him sneakily sticking his head out and looking at me.”
Shen Yuxuan felt like he could not keep anything from his good friend. If Jiang Yue found out, he would not be able to keep it from her. Naturally, he was not surprised that Xue Yan asked. He smiled and said, “Whether you guessed it or not, I promised him I would not say anything else.”
Xue Yan nodded. He didn’t ask if it was Xue Shi and the others who were behind this. Instead, he smiled and asked what he was there for.
Shen Yuxuan nodded. He looked around and saw that there was no one else. Then, he said, “I shouldn’t be telling you this, but even I’ve been curious for the longest time. Are you and Jiang Yue… No, do you have any feelings for Jiang Yue? If so, why haven’t you done anything about it? Have you ever considered her?”
Xue Yan’s eyes darkened.
Shen Yuxuan was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Only after a long while did Xue Yan finally reply, “It’s something I can’t say to others. Since you’re the one asking me, I do like Jiang Yue. You’re right about some things. I have my considerations. As to what considerations… I can’t tell you about this. I’m sorry.” At this point, he was extremely apologetic to his good friend. There were some things he had to keep.
He couldn’t possibly say that Jiang Yue would return to the apocalypse sooner or later.
