Chapter 1006: He Has Grown Up, But Is Still the Boy in My Memories (6)
Si Nian and Sheng Yanxiao were just playing a game, one that’s been pretty popular lately. Sheng Yanxiao hardly plays these anymore, but Si Nian, this game-addicted teenager, still has a big itch for it.
He had just dragged Sheng Yanxiao along with him. He’d originally been wondering why Sheng Yanxiao was so easy to talk into it today, but it was rare to get to hug a carry’s thigh, so Si Nian didn’t overthink it. In the end, the Young Master Sheng who always played like he was hacking, today looked like he hadn’t fully woken up at all. Instead of carrying him, he was basically lining up to die.
After putting up with several deaths, Si Nian finally couldn’t take it anymore and burst out with that curse. But before he finished the sentence, he saw Su Weiyi walk in, and in that instant, Si Nian suddenly understood everything.
No wonder someone voluntarily came home for dinner today, no wonder he’d been so easy to talk into playing just now, no wonder he’d turned into a black hole in-game.
The corner of Si Nian’s mouth twitched and twitched again. He looked at Su Weiyi for two seconds, then immediately turned his head to look at the person beside him.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Si Nian’s forehead. You had to know that three years ago, after Su Weiyi left, Sheng Yanxiao had been in a bad state for a long time. As his friend, Si Nian could understand Su Weiyi’s concerns and her decision, but he still couldn’t help holding a bit of resentment.
If you were going to leave, why agree to him in the first place?
Si Nian felt that if even he was like this, he really didn’t dare imagine how the person next to him would react.
These three years, whenever anyone mentioned the three words "Su Weiyi" in front of Sheng Yanxiao, his expression would change and change again, as if coated with frost.
Obviously, he’d been furious.
So... are these two going to start a fight?
Si Nian’s countless thoughts passed in reality in just about two seconds, and then he saw that the person beside him still had that same calm, composed look, eyes fixed on the screen, as if he hadn’t felt her arrival at all.
Su Weiyi was actually stunned too. She knew that after coming back it would be impossible not to run into Sheng Yanxiao. No matter what, they were still siblings, still family. It was just that, given the situation of the past three years, Su Weiyi hadn’t expected they would meet this soon. Based on Sheng Yanxiao’s temper, he shouldn’t have shown up here today.
But since there was someone else here, Su Weiyi quickly returned to normal.
She smiled and greeted Si Nian. Si Nian gave an awkward smile. "Su... sis, long time no see."
No one noticed that the man sitting on the sofa had silently tightened his fingers around his phone, his knuckles turning white. Good thing the phone was decent quality, or it probably would’ve been crushed by him.
A few seconds later, Sheng Yanxiao finally put down the phone in his hand, slow and unhurried. He stood up, looked toward Su Weiyi, and that face, now with some of its youthful softness shed, showed an incomparably gentle smile—only that smile didn’t reach his eyes at all.
"Sister, long time no see."
The light, drifting words made Si Nian shiver on the spot. Su Weiyi’s back also went rigid, her fingers digging into her palm.
The teenager in front of her had grown up. That familiar face now carried a bit of a man’s sharpness. His frame was more solid, and he’d gotten a lot taller. The current Sheng Yanxiao had to be at least one-eighty-seven, right?
He’d grown up, but he was still the少年 in her memories.
Only that pair of eyes looking at her was cold and distant, as if he were looking at a stranger, without a trace of emotion.
No former gentle indulgence, but also none of the loathing from Su Weiyi’s dreams. As calm as still water, yet so calm it was frightening.
