Chapter 194
In the end, Chi Yanxun still entered the shop. He sat across from Shen Shuyu and said, “What a coincidence to run into you here. Have you eaten?”
Ever since Chi Yanxun left the hospital, the two of them hadn’t met again. It was indeed a coincidence today to encounter him right near his own home.
For some reason, Shen Shuyu felt that today’s Chi Yanxun was a bit strange, though he couldn’t put his finger on where.
But since one shouldn’t strike a smiling face, although Shen Shuyu didn’t know what Chi Yanxun wanted, he still replied, “I’m not very hungry yet. Why are you here?”
Chi Yanxun said, “Just passing by.”
If he remembered correctly, Chi Yanxun’s home and his own were on opposite ends of the cityāone in the east and one in the west. It was impossible for him to be “passing by.”
However, Shen Shuyu had no interest in inquiring why he was passing by. He just nodded. “Oh, okay.”
Chi Yanxun looked at him and signaled the waiter for a cup of coffee. The two were silent. Shen Shuyu couldn’t quite stand the atmosphere, so he said, “Then you drink slowly; I’ll head home first.”
He and Chi Yanxun didn’t have much to say to each other to begin with, and now even less so.
Shen Shuyu was about to get up when Chi Yanxun called out, “Wait a moment.”
Shen Shuyu sat back down. “What is it?”
Chi Yanxun said, “I’ve seriously thought about what you said to me at the hospital that day.”
He was unusually serious. “I just wanted to say I’m sorry. I indeed didn’t think that much.”
Shen Shuyu appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil. This was a sight for the agesāthe Protagonist Gong was actually apologizing to him?
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say, so he just said, “It’s fine. It’s good that we’ve made things clear.”
Shen Shuyuās eyelid twitched. He felt this place wasn’t suitable to stay for long. He said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”
He picked up his coat that heād taken off and laid aside. As he passed Chi Yanxun, his arm was caught.
Shen Shuyu looked down at him, and Chi Yanxun also looked up at him.
The two gazed at each other, their roles seemingly reversed. Shen Shuyu pulled his hand back. “If you have something to say, say it directly.” Stop pulling and tugging.
Chi Yanxun withdrew his hand and let out a light cough. “I just wanted to ask you to reconsider our relationship. I might not be an excellent partner right now, but I will change. I hope you can give me another chance, okay?”
Shen Shuyuās brain stalled. What kind of madness was the Protagonist Gong having? He was asking him for a chance?
Just because of that 90% match rate?
Chi Yanxun lowered his eyes and continued, “I know you might still be thinking it’s just because of the match rate. I can’t lie to you; some reasons are because of that. But more so, I’ve thought a lot during this time. In the past, I was indeed narrow-minded and let down some of your affection, but now I want to win you back. So I’m very sincerely asking you to give me a chance.”
“And what if I don’t give it?” Shen Shuyu felt his head was twice its usual size. He said, “Chi Yanxun, you also know that although we have a 90% match rate, the two of us aren’t suitable. Instead of being here asking me for a chance, why don’t you look for someone elseāsomeone you truly and sincerely like?”
“The one I truly and sincerely like right now is you,” Chi Yanxun said. “Even if you don’t give me this chance, I will work hard to let you see my changes.”
Shen Shuyu only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible. Today’s Chi Yanxun was even more terrifying than when he usually had a cold face!
He said hurriedly, “…Whatever you want.”
With that, he left, leaving Chi Yanxun alone in the shop.
After he left, the smile on Chi Yanxun’s face vanished instantly. The waiter who came to deliver his coffee was startled by his gloomy expression.
Chi Yanxun recovered, his expression softening slightly. “Thank you, you can just put it down.”
The waiter hummed in response, placed the coffee in front of him, and left in a hurry.
Chi Yanxun took a deep breath and leaned back against the sofa. He didn’t understand why the current Shen Shuyu was so difficult to handle. Clearly, he used to love him to death, but now he avoided him like the plague.
Was it because of Shen Xili or Wen Jiafei?
Chi Yanxun thought expressionlessly. Regardless of which one it was, Shen Shuyu was an Omega who talked nonsense and wasn’t loyal at all. Such an Omega needed to be taught a lesson.
Shen Shuyu only felt a sense of relief after walking out of the shop. It was truly terrifying. The feeling Chi Yanxun gave him just now was as if he had become a different person.
He took a deep breath and suddenly thought of something. He quickly called out the System: [Didn’t you say you sensed that external system the day I was hospitalized? Chi Yanxun came to see me that day. Check and see if it’s him.]
The System said: [Master, it’s not him. I didn’t sense any abnormal fluctuations just now.]
Shen Shuyu turned his head to look at Chi Yanxun through the floor-to-ceiling window. [Fine, maybe it’s just my imagination.]
The System said: [Mm! Master, you don’t need to worry too much! we are already investigating relevant matters from five years ago. As long as it was done, there will be traces left behind!]
Shen Shuyu sighed faintly. [Alright.]
He walked back. By the time he reached home, lunch had just been prepared. Mother Shen said, “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming back?”
Shen Shuyu said, “Oh, my friend was busy, so I came back first.”
“Come and eat,” Father Shen said. “So reckless, you didn’t even put your clothes on properly.”
Shen Shuyu looked down. The zipper of his coat was only halfway up. No wonder he felt the wind blowing in all the way back, but he had been thinking about Wen Jiafeiās situation and hadn’t noticed.
Shen Shuyu took off his coat and washed his hands. After sitting at the table, Mother Shen said, “Xiao Yu, we have a friend who invited us to go to the hot springs. Do you want to go?”
Go to the hot springs?
Shen Shuyu wasn’t very interested. He still had to get in touch with Wen Jiafei. Without reaching him, his heart wouldn’t be at ease.
He said, “I’ll pass. You and Dad can go. I’m fine soaking in the bathtub at home.”
Mother Shen let out a ‘pfft’ and laughed. She said, “This time it’s to Planet Siro. They have a natural hot spring, and I heard it’s very lively. Weāll go tomorrow and come back the day after next.”
Siro! Hot springs!
No wonder the planet’s name sounded so familiar. Feng Xing and the others had gone to this planet for hot springs before.
Father Shen looked at Mother Shen and said, “If Xiao Yu doesn’t want to go, he doesn’t have to. The two of us can go.”
“Mom, Dad, I suddenly want to go,” Shen Shuyu spoke up. “I feel like it’ll be very interesting and want to try it.”
“Great,” Mother Shen said. “I thought you didn’t like going out with us.”
“That’s not true. Don’t say that,” Shen Shuyu said. “I want to go play. If you don’t take me, I’ll go complain to my brother.”
Mother Shen couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, alright, we’ll take you. Your brother has been busy lately; don’t go hovering in front of him too much.”
Shen Shuyu nodded. “Okay, I’ll definitely disappear from my brother’s sight for the next few days.”
Mother Shen couldn’t help but laugh. “You really are something.”
Mother Shen sighed again. “It’s just that your brother is so busy every day. I don’t know when he’ll finally bring home a sister-in-law for you and Xili.”
Shen Shuyu didn’t say anything, only thinking that he hadn’t expected even in the interstellar world there would be pressure to marry.
Truly, no one can escape the pressure of being urged to marry.
