Si Yiheng: "..."
Si Yiheng: "Did you hear that?"
Shu Yu nodded, her expression serious. "Yes, I heard you call someone an idiot, and you told him to shut up."
Si Yiheng: "..."
Shu Yu: "I suspect they definitely cut corners when building this house. The soundproofing isn't very good."
Si Yiheng lowered his eyes to look at Shu Yu's expression and stayed silent for a moment. "Yeah."
Si Yiheng's dark eyes grew dim. "Do you hate me when I'm like this?"
She heard everything. Would she hate him now?
Hate him for being so vicious, hate him for being a jealous man. They were only dating, yet he already harbored such filthy thoughts.
Si Yiheng didn't know what was wrong with him either, why his possessiveness was so strong.
He just wanted to be the only one by Shu Yu's side. Only him, and no one else.
Shu Yu thought Si Yiheng was talking about him getting angry and cursing at someone. She shook her head. "I don't hate it. I can accept it."
"As long as you aren't fierce with me, it's fine. If you really have to be fierce, just don't be too fierce, okay?" Shu Yu whispered, trying to negotiate with him.
"I can accept the level of anger you just showed when cursing that person, but any more than that and I might not be able to handle it."
If Si Yiheng were any fiercer, she would probably burst into tears uncontrollably.
Si Yiheng lowered his gaze, a trace of softness appearing in the depths of his profound eyes. "I won't be fierce with you."
It was all Bean Bun's fault.
It was Xiao Jun and Shen Qinghan's fault.
Shu Yu finally remembered her tablet and muttered, "I came to get my tablet."
Si Yiheng: "Okay."
Si Yiheng figured that Shu Yu must have walked into the wrong study today. The study he had set aside for her faced the sun, with lush ivy growing by the window, bright and full of life.
But Shu Yu probably just saw a study and walked in, ending up in the wrong one.
But in this moment, Si Yiheng didn't really want to correct her mistake.
He wanted to share a space with her, even if it was at a misplaced time.
Shu Yu went in to grab her tablet and found the screen was already off. However, she was still a little uneasy. "Si Yiheng."
Si Yiheng: "Yes."
"When you were in here just now, was my tablet open or closed?"
While waiting for his answer, Shu Yu felt quite nervous.
Si Yiheng answered truthfully, "I didn't notice."
Shu Yu blinked. "Did you start arguing with someone as soon as I left?"
Si Yiheng: "..."
Si Yiheng: "You could say that."
Only then did Shu Yu feel relieved enough to go to sleep. She absolutely couldn't let Si Yiheng know she drew that kind of comic.
What Shu Yu didn't know was that after she left, Si Yiheng switched his phone to a comic reading app.
After reading Shu Yu's update for the day, Si Yiheng sent over a hundred thousand in virtual gifts.
H commented: Drawn exceptionally well, very strong fundamentals. Looking forward to more works.
This comment stood out like a sore thumb among the sea of comments focusing on spicy scenes and specific poses.
Only when Xie Mengying and Gu Yunjing arrived in Country D did they realize things were not as simple as they had imagined.
The agreement was a game of semantics. It stated it would provide the funds for studying abroad, but it didn't list every specific expense. As a result, Ye Ning only paid for the cheapest tuition. They had to cover everything else themselves.
Xie Mengying and Gu Yunjing had also tried looking for Assistant Xiao Wang, but Assistant Xiao Wang completely changed his tune.
He no longer praised them for being smart, beautiful, having good grades, and being popular, or that they could adapt even if they changed majors. Assistant Xiao Wang instead claimed he had fulfilled his obligations according to the agreement and told them to look out for themselves and be self-reliant.
By this time, Xie Mengying was gnashing her teeth, cursing Si Yiheng in her heart ten thousand times for being sinister and cunning.
Si Yiheng had tricked her into going abroad just like that.
She had gone abroad after dropping out of A University. If she went back now, her highest education level would only be high school.
She had no choice at all. She could only continue working part-time while studying here in order to obtain a degree that matched her status.
But working and studying at the same time was very difficult, because her German was terrible.
What was even more detestable was that Assistant Xiao Wang had fooled her into choosing a major that was extremely hard to graduate from. Failing the same subject three times could lead to forced expulsion.
She and her family simply couldn't afford the living expenses of studying abroad.
Left with no options, Xie Mengying thought about dropping her previous persona and asking the backup guys she had been stringing along for help.
However, she found that all those guys had lost contact with her. Xie Mengying didn't even have to think to know that Si Yiheng was behind it.
Xie Mengying was almost mad with anger. Sending her to study abroad to meet more outstanding people was just a scam targeting her.
At most, she had just stirred up Gu Yunjing's emotions and made Gu Yunjing direct her malice at Shu Yu. Yet Si Yiheng held such a grudge that he left her practically penniless to study in a major city in Country D.
Gu Yunjing was on the verge of tears. "Mengying, what do we do now?"
Xie Mengying gritted her teeth. "Work, study, and support ourselves. What else can we do?"
Xie Mengying had absolutely no power to fight back; she could only swallow her resentment.
This was the first time in Xie Mengying's many years of smooth sailing that she had taken such a massive fall. Her life, which had started with a great hand of cards, was thus turned into hell mode.
When Shu Yu looked at the comments the next day, she saw Si Yiheng's very abrupt comment.
Shu Yu felt a bit uneasy.
She took a screenshot and asked Ye Ning.
LittleFishSwimming: Why does this comment remind me of our brother?
Golden Corn: Hahahahaha, our brother. It probably isn't him. Our brother is very busy with work and experiments; he doesn't have time to read smutty comics.
LittleFishSwimming: You're right. I left my tablet at our brother's place yesterday, and I was really scared Si Yiheng would find out.
Golden Corn: If Si Yiheng found out, wouldn't that give him a lot of inspiration?
Shu Yu thought of Si Yiheng's abs from yesterday, and her face suddenly felt a little hot.
LittleFishSwimming: I won't let him find out.
LittleFishSwimming: Besides, our brother is very proper; he isn't that kind of person.
Ye Ning almost fainted from laughing. How could she be so cute? To actually believe that Si Yiheng was proper. He was only proper because he was afraid of scaring Shu Yu.
After all, if he scared the kitty away, Si Yiheng wouldn't have a cute kitty wife anymore.
While chatting with Ye Ning, Shu Yu also received a message from Si Yiheng.
ATM: What do you want to eat tonight?
Shu Yu rested her face in her hands, thinking seriously.
LittleFishSwimming: I want to eat river snail rice noodle hotpot. Expectant Kitty.jpg
LittleFishSwimming: Little Orange wants to eat it too!
ATM: What is that.
LittleFishSwimming: It's the food Ningning and I ate the day we blew up the kitchen.
ATM: Okay.
Just after finishing her chat with Si Yiheng, Ye Ning's message came again.
Golden Corn: Guess what our brother just asked me?
LittleFishSwimming: Kitty Shaking Head.jpg
Golden Corn: He asked me where we bought the shit we ate the day I blew up the kitchen.
Shu Yu: "!!!"
Imagining Si Yiheng asking such a thing with a completely straight face, Shu Yu actually found it somewhat hilarious.
When Si Yiheng came home, he brought back a lot of groceries.
Shu Yu walked to the door, wanting to help him carry the bags. Holding the groceries, Si Yiheng naturally opened his arms toward her.
Shu Yu paused, tilting her head in confusion as she looked at him blankly, as if she didn't understand what his gesture meant.
She looked even more like a silly little kitty.
Si Yiheng's gaze was deep and restrained, his voice soft and slow, as if coaxing and tempting her. "Baby Yu, do you want a hug?"
