Chapter 36 Sour Jujube
He had not rested well during this period, and his eyes were dark blue. His former dignity seemed to have been replaced by a heavy haze. Song Xueying still remembered that he was not like this when she first met Gu Chuan.

It seemed that from the moment Chu Yan appeared, his condition became more and more abnormal. Song Xueying was very flustered. Thinking about it carefully, Song Xueying seemed to have been pushed around all along.

She dated Lin Chenan because he had been with her since she was a child, so when he confessed to her, she immediately agreed to date him.

Later, more and more force majeure factors occurred. Her mother said that she deserved better. When the pressure of life cast a shadow on the innocent feelings, breaking up became inevitable.

When she was pursued by Gu Chuan, she was hesitant and couldn't believe that such an ordinary person like herself could be favored by a man of his status and position like Gu Chuan. But her mother and people around her said that when she met such a good man, she had to grab him quickly. What was there to hesitate about?
So she agreed to date Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan is indeed a good person. Because of him, Song Xueying is no longer under financial and material pressure. It is also because of him that those who once looked down on Song Xueying have changed their attitude. Even her father, who previously disowned her, came forward to say that she is his good daughter.

Not to mention that Gu Chuan brought Song Xueying into his circle and took considerate care of her.

In fact, before Gu Chuan actually proposed to her, Song Xueying had already discovered that Gu Chuan had a good impression of her.

During that time, Gu Chuan seemed to be upset about his girlfriend's affairs. He often worked overtime in the company and was very tired. In order to thank him for taking care of her, Song Xueying would often pour him a cup of coffee or bring him breakfast the next morning.

Gu Chuan's attitude towards her became more and more moderate. Sometimes, when Song Xueying made a rash mistake and felt embarrassed, Gu Chuan would smile cheerfully instead.

Perhaps it was because of the appearance of Song Xueying that Gu Chuan was able to get out of the chaotic relationship with his girlfriend with whom he had no feelings and made up his mind to break up.

After knowing that Gu Chuan had broken up, Song Xueying kindly comforted him and gave him cookies she had made herself.

And now, Song Xueying should really be thankful that she has caught such a good man.

Now that she has caught him and has gotten used to him, she certainly cannot adapt to such a man leaving her.

Song Xueying had been deliberately avoiding Chu Yan's topic before, but now she couldn't help it. She mustered up her courage, looked at Gu Chuan stubbornly, and asked: "You have seen the box, right?"

Gu Chuan raised his eyes, his gaze as quiet as water, "Yes, I have seen it."

Song Xueying unconsciously clenched her hands nervously.

Her premonition was correct. Gu Chuan couldn't see what was in the box. But she soon thought of another question. Even if there was no box, would Gu Chuan be able to remain calm when he saw Chu Yan?

Somehow, Song Xueying had a strange feeling that things shouldn't have turned out this way.

Song Xueying mustered up her courage again, her eyes red, like a soft little white rabbit, wanting to show her fangs to let the other person know that she was not such a weak person, "Gu Chuan, you are engaged to me, and we will get married in the future, and Chu Yan is Shen Xing's girlfriend now, I hope you keep your distance from her."

Song Xueying was an ordinary, kind and timid girl. She didn't dare to make any requests in front of Gu Chuan before. Her words now were very rare.

She told herself that it was okay for her to say these things, that she was just making legitimate demands of her fiancée, and that she should not feel cowardly.

Gu Chuan didn't speak for a long time.

Song Xueying met his gaze, and for some reason, she felt strangely guilty, which reminded her of Lin Chenan again, but she soon calmed down.

She and Lin Chenan have nothing wrong, so why should she feel guilty?
After a long time, Gu Chuan said: "You are right." Then he had no more words to say.

He thought she was right, so what next?

Song Xueying wasn't sure what he meant, and the courage she had just built up suddenly disappeared without a trace.

She looked at Gu Chuan in front of her and suddenly felt that he was more and more unfamiliar.

When the sun was setting, Shen Xing brought Chu Yan back from the back mountain. The bag in Shen Xing's hand was filled with a bunch of sour jujubes. These were the fruits of him and Chu Yan picking under the sour jujube tree for a long time.

Not long ago, Shen Xing peeled a sour jujube and asked Chu Yan to try it. As a result, her teeth were so sour that she looked very unhappy.

Shen Xing laughed out loud.

She covered her face and said, "This is even more sour than the sour jujube cake."

"Of course, sugar is added to the sour jujube cake." Shen Xing quickly stuffed a candy into her mouth to help her relieve the overly sour taste.

Shen Xing romantically made a wreath of wild flowers from the mountains and put it on Chu Yan's head. He stroked her long and slightly curly hair, with a twinkle of love in his eyes, and said softly: "Yan Yan is like a princess."

So, she didn't care so much about him making her eat a sour date as a prank.

After returning to the house, Shen Xing handed all the sour dates he had picked up to the old housekeeper. He also did not forget to take credit for it to Chu Yan, "Grandpa Song, Yan Yan spent a lot of effort to pick these up. In order to pick these things up, we were bitten by mosquitoes and got several lumps."

The old housekeeper smiled kindly and said, "Then we have to make delicious food out of these things. We can't let the efforts of the young master and Miss Chu go to waste."

The elderly people all saw how naughty Shen Xing was in the past. They didn’t expect that he would become much more mature after falling in love. Of course, the elders were happy for him.

Shen Xing said that it was true that he and Chu Yan were bitten by mosquitoes. He followed the housekeeper to get some ointment to apply. When Chu Yan was sitting in the living room, she saw Song Xueying coming down from upstairs.

Chu Yan smiled politely, "Ms. Song."

Song Xueying tried to force out a polite response, but her face looked so bad that even the energy to be hypocritical and polite disappeared.

Chu Yan knew that there seemed to be a conflict between Song Xueying and Gu Chuan, but she didn't ask much. She was not familiar with Song Xueying, so Chu Yan didn't know what to say. When she wanted to find Shen Xing, Song Xueying suddenly spoke.

"Miss Chu, do you have a good relationship with Shen Xing?"

Chu Yan was a little surprised that she asked this question, but she nodded, "Yes, we have a good relationship."

Song Xueying stood on the stairs, holding the handrail with one hand to straighten her back. She looked at Chu Yan below and couldn't help but smile as if she was a superior. "Gu Chuan and I have a good relationship too."

It seems that the more one lacks something, the more one wants to show off.

Chu Yan said "Oh" without feeling much.
