After entering the book, I no longer want to be a substitute

After finishing the hot pot, Lu Zhaoxue carried Shi Ya into the car driven by the family driver.

Under the coercion and inducement of having her pocket money cut in half, Shi Ya reluctantly agreed to go with her.

Shi Yuze got what he wished for and finally got the chance to be alone with Yunxiu.

He drove and she sat in the passenger seat looking at the night view outside the window.

Not much talk, but a good atmosphere.

There was an inexplicably sweet smell floating in the air.

After a long time, Yunxiu took the initiative to speak and asked Shiyu to wait and not to leave in a hurry. She gave him the handmade DIY cup she made last time.

Shi Yu nodded and agreed. He had seen the photos many times, and the cups made by Yunxiu obviously looked better.

Just like in their original world, she was always a little ahead of herself in terms of handicrafts.

Time will slip away, but Yunxiu will not change. Even if many things are forgotten, the original intention will always be there.

She has always been like this since she was a child.

Restrained and steady inside, tough outside.

Jiangnanyuan is not far from the restaurant, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive there.

At 9:50 in the evening, as usual, Mrs. Zhang and Yun Yuan had already gone to bed.

Yunxiu asked him to wait for her in the living room while she went upstairs to get the cup down and it would be there in a moment.

Shi Yu was not in a hurry and sat down quietly waiting for her.

Perhaps because his emotions were too mixed, Shi Yu did not notice at first that Yun Yuan had been standing at the kitchen door, watching them silently.

By the time he realized something was wrong, Yun Yuan was already walking towards him.

Yunxiu turned on a small light, and the light in the entire living room was dim. Shiyu took a moment to calm down before he recognized that the person was Yunxiu's mother.

He stood up, greeted politely, and explained why he was there so late at night.

Yun Yuan, on the other hand, was acting out of character. The usual gloom and sadness on her face gradually disappeared, and she even showed a rare sense of relief and relief.

Even if Yunxiu didn't say it, she could guess that there must be a reason why the girl was staring blankly and laughing foolishly all day long regardless of the occasion.

Now, the reason has come to me.

Yun Yuan asked him to sit down and not to be so polite.

She didn't want to say anything more in a roundabout way, so she just asked directly:

"You like Yunxiu, and you haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell her yet, right?"

Hearing this, Shi Yu's originally calm expression froze slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he adjusted his mood, as if the surprise just now was just a fleeting illusion.

There was no need to hide things from Yun Yuan, and there was no reason to hide anything from her at all.

Shi Yu had no choice but to admit: "That's right."

Unfortunately, Yunxiu has to take the initiative in this matter. In order to ensure the smooth development of the plot, the system does not allow him to interfere too much in the development of events in another book.

If it weren't for this rule, the person standing next to her at the Meng family's birthday party that night would not be the male protagonist Shen Que in the book, but herself.

Yun Yuan had an expression that said, "I knew you had this in mind long ago." He smiled knowingly and said,

"Can you promise that you will only treat her well from now on, and that your family will accept her?"

He has saved Yunxiu's life. For a man with such a heart, Yun Yuan can let go of ninety-nine of his hundred hearts.

I don’t ask for much, just that we like each other and support each other for life, even if our life is as dull as water.

All we want in life is a peace and stability.

Since she didn't get it, Yunxiu must have it at least.

Shi Yu swallowed deeply. It was the first time she faced such an occasion. Although the person was not her closest relative, she still felt nervous and even serious.

There were slow and gentle footsteps coming from upstairs. Yunxiu should be coming down soon.

He looked into the other person's eyes, his expression and tone were as pious as could be, revealing sincerity and determination:

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, there will always be only Yunxiu by my side.

As for my family, they respect me and trust me enough that what I love is what they love.

Besides, Yunxiu is a very good person. Even without me, there are still people who like her."

There was a faint glimmer of tears in Yun Yuan's eyes.

What she was most looking forward to was just the last sentence.

He loves Yunxiu because of her good qualities, not because he approaches her out of his own selfish desires.

Yun Yuan hopes that Yun Xiu will rely on such a person in the future, who can tolerate and understand other people's temperament.

She lowered her head and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

"That's the best. Don't worry. With Yunxiu's personality, falling in love with someone like you would be easier than breathing."

Yun Yuan's words were heartwarming, but they were also the true truth, without any pretense.

A mixed expression of joy and sorrow flashed across Shi Yu's face, but he immediately retracted it after hearing Yun Xiu's surprised voice.

"Huh? You didn't sleep?"

Bringing a man back late at night, no matter how high Yunxiu's status in the family is, she can't completely avoid feeling guilty and ashamed.

She saw it from upstairs and her heart was beating fast, worried that Yun Yuan would be angry.

When I got closer, I saw that both of them were in good condition. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but that didn't matter.

Yunxiu managed to escape the disaster.

When Yun Yuan saw her coming over with a small gift box bag in her hand, it just confirmed what Shi Yu said.

"I came down to drink some water and locked the window in the kitchen. When I came out, I saw Shi Yu."

Yunxiu handed the bag to Shiyu. He looked up at her and reached out to take it.

"He came in to get something."

Yunxiu gave a simple explanation.

Yun Yuan said that she understood and it was getting late, so she asked Yun Xiu to see Shi Yu off and told him to drive safely on the road.

Yunxiu always felt that something was wrong, especially the way Yun Yuan looked at him and Shi Yu. He felt as if she had discovered something between them.

She asked Yun Yuan to go upstairs to rest, and that Shi Yu would be back soon after she finished sending him off, so she didn't need to worry about her.

Yun Yuan expressed her full understanding and urged the two to leave quickly, as it would be too late if they stayed any later.

Yunxiu looked confused, while Shiyu was laughing secretly.

After walking him all the way to the car, Yunxiu wanted to say something but stopped herself. The words she was talking about shattered into pieces, and she just said goodbye in the end.

Shi Yu stood in front of Yun Xiu, and seemed to sense her worries, so he softened his tone:

"You performed very well tonight. I don't know how the judges scored you, but in my heart, first place belongs to you."

A gust of night wind blew by, and the hair became a bit messy.

Yunxiu really wanted to help him sort it out, so he put his hand in his coat pocket and pinched it, but finally gave up.

Their relationship hasn't reached that stage yet.

Yunxiu kicked away a small stone at his feet and said with a smile:

"You like my performance so much, but no amount of praise will help. Why not do something practical?"

She blinked at Shi Yu, with a confusing light in her eyes.

The practical stuff...

Shi Yu said without hesitation: "I'll make up the appearance fee for that variety show to 200 million..."

Yunxiu pursed his lips and shook his head.

His heart skipped a beat and his throat tightened.

"I'll customize a trophy for you using pure gold and diamonds."

Yunxiu remained unmoved.

"Um... 99% of my future income..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt his cheeks getting hot.

Yunxiu stood on tiptoe, held Shi Yu's face, pulled it down hard, and gently kissed him on the face.

She said, “I want this.”

The night wind was cold, but Shi Yu was completely unaware.

All he could see were those sparkling eyes, and her words kept echoing in his ears.

As for the sudden sharp alarm sound from the system, both of them ignored it for the time being.
