The girls covered their mouths and giggled at the conversation between Shen Yu and Xiaohui. They gathered around Shen Yu, who was sitting on the sofa and enthusiastically brought fruit tea and other refreshments.

Originally, Shen Yu intended to go with the girl and sit in just for five minutes. However, in the end, now that the young girls kept on encircling him to chat, he suddenly didn’t know how to leave.

He has been sitting like this for half an hour now.

Shen Yu, who already had his fill, once again stuffed a pile of fruit into his stomach.

Xiaohui seemed to notice Shen Yu’s dilemma. So, she clapped her hands and said in a loud voice at her friends, “Ok ok ok, please let him go. You are blocking him right now. My partner can’t even go to the bathroom if he wants to.”

When the girls heard the words, they hurriedly gave way. They smiled mischievously to ridicule Xiaohui at the same time.

“Boo, he’s obviously only a blind date’s partner. The eight characters are not even written yet[3] and you already started to take advantage of cute brother huh.”

{TN: [3] 八字还没一撇/bāzìháiméiyīpiě is an idiom. It means things have not even begun to take shape / no sign of success yet}

“Now, we are cute brother’s righteous angels tonight. If you want to abduct the cute brother, you have to pass us first!”

Xiao Hui complained in dissatisfaction, “You’re the group of fake sisters who have agreed to stand by me and now you try to hold onto my blind date. I want to break my relationship with you guys!”

Several girls burst into laughter and made some fuss.

Shen Yu got a headache from their quarrel. He kneaded his temples, got up, and went to the bathroom inside.

From the look of their clothes, the people here should be students or Tang Li’s schoolmates. Shen Yu could see a lot of people in their school uniforms.

At the same time, those people probably knew each other. Just as Shen Yu passed through them, they turned their heads tacitly. They looked at Shen Yu in surprise several times, and then they whispered to each other.

“Who is that person ah? He doesn’t seem to be a student from our school. “

“Nonsense, he doesn’t look like a student. It seems that Song Hui[4] brought him here. Maybe it’s her boyfriend.”

{TN: [4] Song Hui is Shen Yu’s blind date partner a.k.a Xiaohui. Song is her family name and Xiaohui is kinda her nickname}

“It can’t be. That person looks familiar. It seems that I’ve seen him somewhere…” The speaker held his chin and racked his brain for a moment. Then he knocked his head when he realized who it was, “He is Shen Yu! I attended his grandfather’s birthday banquet before!”

“WTF! Shen Yu?!”

“It can’t be… How could such a bigshot come to our little abode… “

Shen Yu, who listened to all of their conversations behind him, suddenly felt his thoughts in turmoil.

There was an overwhelming feeling that he didn’t belong in this place that was similar to a fine net wrapping him and gradually tightening up to keep him trapped inside.

He thought that these people were Tang Li’s classmates, perhaps fellow students. They all know Tang Li. They’re the same age as him as well as studying in the same school…

But Shen Yu couldn’t fully understand what they were saying.

They talked about going to the class for make-up class. They talked about teachers together with fellow students. They talked about new things that happened in school recently, and they even talked quite a lot about star chasing, watch-binge drama, and concert topics.

And also the ‘things’ that have faded away from Shen Yu’s life for a long time. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Shen Yu didn’t even remember what it felt like to do these things when he was younger. All he knew was that he was immersed in adult life now. He was hovering between occupying himself to open a shop all day long, having a blind date out of boredom. He was squeezed by the pressure of life to the point where he didn’t have a moment to properly breathe.

The disparity between him and those people also represented the gap between him and Tang Li.

Shen Yu splashed his face with cold water and felt that his jittery, restless mood eased a bit. He thought about it and took out his cellphone to call Xiaohui.

On the other side, Xiaohui quickly answered, “Brother Shen Yu, what happened?”

“I’m leaving first. You can have fun by yourself. Pay attention to safety when you go home.” Shen Yu said.

Xiao Hui was surprised for a moment. She then teased him, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Aren’t you going to take me home?”

“You’re already eighteen years old. You have the ability to be independent. Even if something goes wrong, you don’t need me to be your guardian.” Shen Yu paused and then continued, “Furthermore, I believe there is a big generation gap between us.”

Without giving Xiao Hui a chance to speak, Shen Yu hung up the phone.

He pulled out two tissues to wipe off the water on his face and turned to leave the bathroom.

Just as he was about to walk out of the half-open door, he suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice from the outside.

In a split second, Shen Yu recognized that it was Tang Li who was talking.

“Do you know how annoying you are? This is my last warning to you. Next time, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”

Before Tang Li’s words could finish, another male voice rang out, “Chestnut, I really, really like you. Even both of my mom and dad know about your existence and they are also supporting me in pursuing you…”

“Shut up.”

“Could you hear me out first?” The male voice said in an almost soft tone, “My father said you just returned to the Tang family and your position right now is still unstable. In addition, you were being bullied by those shady sons of a bitches. If you are with me, I will let my father protect you. My father can help you consolidate your position in the Tang family, as long as you promise me…”

He has yet to finish his words. However other footsteps can be heard from a distance.

The boy immediately said, “Let’s go to the bathroom and talk.”

Tang Li clicked his tongue impatiently. He was very unwilling to take consideration of the place or follow the boy to the bathroom.

Shen Yu blanked for a moment but he suddenly reacted and promptly hid in one of the stalls inside.
