Free Web NovelChapter 598: Chapter 596 Sun Yufei: Are you guys in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?
In the past, Si Wen would have definitely rushed over at the first opportunity. But now... The thought of Xue Xing made her head feel hot, and she could feel her cheeks blushing again.
She pursed her lips and said, "I’m not going to go."
"Why not? Don’t tell me you have a man with you?"
You had to admit, Sun Yufei had the nose of a bloodhound. A random guess, and she hit the nail on the head. Her intuition was truly sharp.
Si Wen was so startled she nearly dropped her phone. She replied, feeling a little guilty, "What are you talking about? How could I possibly have a man here!?"
A slight smile touched Sun Yufei’s lips. "It seems I guessed right."
"Sis, I have to warn you, don’t let some scumbag fool you. We’ve beaten up so many scumbags; you should know what they’re really like by now."
"Men are fickle. They also love to gaslight women, making them doubt themselves and think their manipulative boyfriends are the center of the universe... Anyway, you just have to be careful around men," Sun Yufei advised with all the earnestness she could muster.
Si Wen said dismissively, "Relax, I know what I’m doing."
"Right. So, are you two actually together now? It’s not just the two of you alone, is it?"
Sun Yufei’s barrage of questions caught Si Wen completely off guard.
She stammered, "You..."
Not giving her a chance to speak, Sun Yufei pressed on, "So tonight, are you two going to..."
"Stop, stop! Senior Sister, you’re getting more and more ridiculous," Si Wen quickly cut off Sun Yufei’s wild train of thought. "I’ll be honest with you, Senior Sister. He’s Xue Yang’s younger brother, not some scumbag. You should stop overthinking things."
"Oh, Xue Yang’s brother, huh?" Sun Yufei’s tone was clearly tinged with disappointment. "How could Xue Yang’s brother possibly be a scumbag?"
That’s right. Xue Yang is an exceptional man, so how could his brother possibly be a scumbag?
Si Wen said, "Senior Sister, you can have that scumbag tonight. I have to help with homework."
Sun Yufei laughed. "Helping with homework? Are you his girlfriend or his nanny?"
Si Wen stomped her foot. "Senior Sister Yufei, what are you saying? He and I are not..."
Sun Yufei deliberately drew out her words, "Not what?"
If Sun Yufei had been there, she would have seen Si Wen’s face turn impossibly red.
"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Sun Yufei teased.
"Senior Sister Yufei~"
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Even the famously oblivious Si Wen is in a relationship now, while I’m still out here hunting scumbags." Sun Yufei sighed. "Forget it. I’ll let this one off the hook tonight. If I run into him again, he won’t be so lucky."
"Oh? Is the ’Scumbag Harvester’ finally hanging it up?" Now it was Si Wen’s turn to tease.
"It’s not that... It’s just, seeing you in a relationship... it’s got my heart all aflutter, you know? So, I’m thinking maybe I should find a guy and try dating, too."
Hearing this, Si Wen immediately protested, "Senior Sister, you can’t just find some random guy to date! What if he turns out to be a scumbag? That would be a disaster."
Sun Yufei said, a little uncertain, "I... I couldn’t be that unlucky, could I?"
"I’m just giving you my advice. Whether you listen or not... that’s your choice."
「...」
After giving the ingredients to Xue Xing, Auntie Shen returned to the villa next door.
Lin Xi was in the sunroom, swaying gently on a swing. When she saw Auntie Shen return, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She looked like a noble and lazy cat, a sight that was simply a delight to behold.
Auntie Shen walked over. "Young Miss, about Miss Si Wen and Young Master Xue Xing..."
Lin Xi cut her off. "I don’t know either."
"Then why did you go out of your way to create an opportunity for them to be alone?"
"That girl, Si Wen, didn’t even tell me she was sick this time. She probably didn’t want to trouble me."
"Not trouble you? Why?" Auntie Shen asked, puzzled.
"I was wondering the same thing. But now I think I get it. She’s feeling a distance between us, that’s why." A determined glint appeared in Lin Xi’s eyes. "She wants to keep her distance from me? It’s not that simple!"
Auntie Shen shook her head and smiled. "You two grew up together. How could you possibly keep your distance so easily! I think that Xue Xing is a great kid, and he seems very compatible with Miss Si Wen. It would be wonderful if they could end up together." freewёbnoνel.com
Lin Xi’s expression wasn’t as relaxed as Auntie Shen’s. She lowered her gaze, a trace of uncertainty on her face. "The path ahead for those two... it probably won’t be that easy."
Auntie Shen sighed. She knew the Young Miss was right. The path ahead for those two really isn’t going to be easy. "We can only leave it up to their fate."
As they were talking, the sound of an engine rumbled from the driveway.
Lin Xi’s eyes lit up. She instantly hopped off the swing and made to rush outside.
"Young Miss, your coat." Auntie Shen quickly stopped her and draped a thick, white shawl over her shoulders, carefully tying the cord into a bow.
Once she was sure Lin Xi was warm enough, she let her go find Xue Yang.
Lin Xi was already bursting with impatience. The moment Auntie Shen let go, she dashed for the door.
By then, Xue Yang had already parked the car, opened the front door, and stepped inside. From a distance, he saw a white figure running toward him. A small smile appeared on his face as he quickened his pace toward the house.
"Xue Yang~" Lin Xi’s soft, sweet voice called out.
She ran right up to him, threw her arms open, and leaped into his embrace.
"Xue Yang, you’re back~"
They were both wearing so many layers of thick winter clothes that after a brief hug, Lin Xi comically slid right off him. The sheer absurdity of it made them both burst out laughing.
They caught each other’s eye and said in unison, "Summer is more convenient." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Yeah. It is."
Xue Yang took Lin Xi’s hand and led her toward the sunroom. Auntie Shen had already gone to the kitchen to heat up dinner for him.
Lin Xi told Xue Yang that Si Wen had been discharged from the hospital.
"So that means she and Xue Xing are at Si Wen’s villa right now," Xue Yang surmised.
Lin Xi nodded. "Yes. I could see that Si Wen wanted some time alone with Xue Xing, so I left them to it." Like an adorable child, Lin Xi hugged Xue Yang’s arm and swayed it back and forth.
It was simply too cute.
Xue Yang patted her head. "Si Wen’s health should be fine now, right?"
"I had Doctor Wu check on her. She just needs to take her medicine on time."
Xue Yang nodded.
Just then, Auntie Shen brought over the warmed-up dishes. "Young Master Xue, you must be hungry. Please, eat first."
Xue Yang let go of Lin Xi and smiled at Auntie Shen. "Thank you, Auntie Shen."
"It’s all part of my duty."
