Cheng Haifeng called the waiter to push our two tables together. He swapped places with Shen Yulin, who sat directly beside me, while Cheng Haifeng took a seat next to Zhang Yun. I couldn't help but chuckle as I watched him gently coax Zhang Yun. Shen Yulin leaned on the table with one hand, glancing at me sideways, "Do you want me to coax you too?"
I caught a glimpse of the intense heat burning in his eyes, like flames, and quickly looked away, pretending to focus on my food. Lu Yi sat across from us, looking quite dejected as he observed Shen Yulin and me. Soon, the dishes they ordered began to arrive at the table. Zhang Yun and I had already finished eating, so we ordered dessert to share. After the three men cleared the table of food, we settled the bill and left the restaurant.
Cheng Haifeng left in Zhang Yun's car first, and Lu Yi called a ride home. Shen Yulin gently held me back, "I'll take you home." I glanced at him and his luggage, "You should go back and pack first; I can manage on my own." "It's fine, I'll take you first. I haven't seen you in a week." I detected a teasing tone in his words and pretended not to respond.
On the first weekend after starting work, I received a call from my aunt: "Xiao Fan, your uncle and I are about to board; we'll arrive at 11:30 AM." "Okay, I'll pick you up then." While my aunt was on her flight, I tidied up the guest room. Although my aunt had arranged for someone to clean the house every two weeks, it still needed some organizing before their arrival.
The doorbell rang at that moment. I opened the door to find Shen Yulin standing there. "Are you going to pick up your brother-in-law today?" I stepped aside to let him in. "Yes."
"I'll go with you." "Just wait a moment; I need to tidy up the guest room."
"It's not convenient here; my brother has a suite where they should be staying. I've already arranged everything." Hearing this made me feel a bit disappointed.
Noticing my change in expression, Shen Yulin quickly added, "I'll ask them later; maybe your sister-in-law wants to come with you?" My mood lightened slightly. "You can sit for a bit while I finish up so we can head out."
"Do you need help?" As he spoke, Shen Yulin followed me into the guest room.
I picked up a cloth and started wiping down the table. Shen Yulin came over and took the cloth from my hands. "Let me do it." He diligently cleaned every corner.
Watching him, an inexplicable feeling surged within me. I had to admit that seeing him again made my heart flutter easily. "Thank you," I said softly. He looked up at me with a smile, "No need to be so polite with me." My face flushed slightly as I turned away to make the bed.
After tidying up the guest room, we headed to the airport together. Throughout the journey, Shen Yulin kept chatting with me, helping me relax.
The plane landed on time at 11:30 AM. My aunt and uncle slowly appeared from the crowd. Upon seeing me, my aunt let go of my uncle's hand and hugged me tightly. Shen Yulin exchanged brief glances with my uncle. "Auntie." "My dear Fan Fan, how have you become even more beautiful?" My aunt smiled as she looked me over from head to toe, unable to contain her admiration. "Not at all!" I shyly tugged at her sleeve as we moved forward.
When we reached the parking lot, my uncle and Shen Yulin stepped away for a smoke. My aunt pulled my hand and got into the car first, whispering to me, "How are things going with Yulin?"
"What do you mean?" I pretended not to understand her question.
"Hey, don't play coy with me! Why is he here picking us up?"
"He said he wanted to come along." I awkwardly shifted my gaze away.
"So what is your relationship now?"
"Just friends." At that moment, Shen Yulin and my uncle walked back over.
"What are you two talking about?" Shen Yulin asked with a smile.
"Nothing much—just some girl talk," my aunt shot him a glare.
Once we were in the car, my aunt and uncle sat in the back while Shen Yulin and I sat in front. The ride was filled with laughter and chatter. Occasionally, Shen Yulin would sneak glances at me while I pretended not to notice. My aunt decided she wanted to stay with me when we got home. She said, "Xiao Fan, do you have time this afternoon? Let's go shopping together."
"Sure!" I happily agreed.
"Then Yulin should come along too," my aunt turned to Shen Yulin.
"Okay, Sister-in-law," he replied with a smile and a nod.
"You little rascal! Isn't work busy?" My uncle glanced at Shen Yulin impatiently.
"Everyone deserves a weekend off," Shen Yulin replied casually.
