Unexpectedly, he looked like this. His features were well-defined, exuding a cold and aloof aura. His eyes were dark and deep, sparkling with a captivating light. His eyebrows were thick, his nose was high, and his lips were exquisite, all showcasing nobility and elegance. These qualities made him look like a perfect sculpture.

Shen Chumo couldn't help but feel a little interested. She slowly approached Gu Xiyan, her hands behind her back, her steps light as a cat's, as if a wild cat was stepping into Gu Xiyan's inner world.

As she drew closer, the distance between them decreased until they were less than a meter apart.

At this moment, Gu Xiyan suddenly felt a dryness in his throat and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His whole body felt as if it were on fire, unbearably hot, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably. He was completely unable to control his body's reactions, and this unfamiliar feeling left him somewhat bewildered.

Shen Chumo looked at Gu Xiyan and replied, "That was just a melody I hummed casually. Strictly speaking, it can't be considered a complete song."

Stared at like that by Shen Chumo, Gu Xiyan felt his face instantly burn, and his ears involuntarily turned red. His voice became hoarse as he softly said, "Hmm, it really sounds nice... Um, may I get to know you?"

Seeing that Shen Chumo didn't respond but instead looked at him with interest, Gu Xiyan felt a surge of nervousness. He clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, and coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not that kind of person. I just want to get to know you, and if you don't want to, I won't force you. Of course, if it's possible, that would be even better."

This was the first time Gu Xiyan had ever tried to strike up a conversation with a girl. He didn't know what to say to win her favor, so he could only be direct.

Hearing this, Shen Chumo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She replied softly, "Sure."

A gentle female voice rang out, like a spring breeze caressing Gu Xiyan's heartstrings. He lowered his hand and looked at Shen Chumo with some surprise, "Did I hear that right? You mean it's possible?"

Gu Xiyan was prepared to be rejected, but things took an unexpected turn for the better.

Shen Chumo nodded gently, her lips curving upwards into a radiant smile, a smile as beautiful and delicate as a blooming flower, and as gentle and captivating as moonlight.

Gu Xiyan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it, and his eyes became increasingly deep, as if he wanted to imprint the beautiful scenery before him deep into his heart.

"Hello, my name is Shen Chumo." Shen Chumo introduced herself.

Shen Chumo... What a beautiful name! Gu Xiyan thought to herself, but the name felt somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.

"I just came from your house," Shen Chumo continued, her tone relaxed and natural, as if she were just saying something ordinary.

His home? Gu Xiyan was slightly taken aback, his thoughts instantly interrupted.

He looked at Shen Chumo with a puzzled expression, trying to understand what she was saying. Suddenly, he remembered that Shen Chumo was Gu Beicheng's fiancée! The woman who was about to become his brother's wife. Gu Beicheng had been making a huge fuss at home these past few days because of her desire to return to China, which made him remember her name.

Recalling the scene just now, Gu Xiyan realized that Shen Chumo might have just been to his house, perhaps to discuss her marriage with Gu Beichen. This discovery made him feel lost and frustrated. Gu Xiyan's heart seemed to lose its balance and fall from a great height, shattering into pieces.

Shen Chumo knew what Gu Xiyan had misunderstood, but she didn't explain. She just looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile.

Gu Xiyan suppressed his sadness and said bitterly, "So you are Beichen's fiancée. In a sense, you should call me 'Big Brother'."

Shen Chumo twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, tilted her head, and chuckled, "Should I call you Big Brother?"

The girl's eyes were filled with stars, and Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be captivated by them, but he still regained his composure and said, "You can call me big brother if you want, but I'd prefer you to call me by my name."

After all, I want to be your friend, and I hope we can be equals, without these seniority differences between us.

This was also Gu Xiyan's selfish reason. He didn't want to hear her call him "big brother" at all, because that would be a constant reminder that he could only be her brother.

"Hmm..." Shen Chumo seemed to be thinking before saying, "Alright, then I'll call you Brother Xiyan, how about that?"

Shen Chumo pronounced those four words one by one, her tone carrying a strange magic that made one's heart race.

Gu Xiyan almost broke down, wishing he could pull the girl in front of him into his arms. He wanted... he wanted her to call his name like that for a lifetime. How wonderful that would be.

"Mo Mo, are you going home now? Let me take you home," Gu Xiyan said softly, her eyes full of tenderness.

Gu Xiyan has a cool and tough appearance, but he showed such a gentle expression. This contrast made Shen Chumo even more interested in Gu Xiyan.

But Shen Chumo shook her head and refused, saying, "No need, my driver is waiting for me at the door."

Gu Xiyan was somewhat disappointed, but still insisted, "Then I'll see you to the door."

Shen Chumo did not refuse, and the two walked side by side on the road, as beautiful as a painting. In the distance, Gu Xiyan's car stood there all alone, and no one remembered it.

Gu Xiyan was only two arms' lengths away from Shen Chumo. The fragrance emanating from Shen Chumo was so pleasant that Gu Xiyan found it to be many times better than the million-dollar perfumes in his collection.

This must be Momo's natural scent, because the fragrance is so natural, with absolutely no artificial fragrance.

The road wasn't long, and Gu Xiyan could only hope to walk slower and slower, so that they could have more time alone together. He remembered Liu Ziwen's words: So this is what love feels like? It makes you anxious and unable to let go.

"Brother Xiyan, did you just get back from get off work?"

Gu Xiyan nodded, "Yes, I work at Gu's now." Gu Xiyan suddenly remembered that Shen Chumo was still a high school student, while she had already started working. Gu Xiyan panicked a little. What should she do? Would she think she was too old?

Shen Chumo smiled and said, "I think Brother Xiyan looks very handsome in a suit."

He has a roguish charm amidst his gentlemanly demeanor, like a silent wolf concealing his ambition.

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her lips as she turned to look at Shen Chumo. "Is Momo praising me?"

Shen Chumo did not deny it: "I'm telling the truth."

Gu Xiyan felt a little embarrassed. He clenched his right fist, put it to his mouth, and coughed lightly twice, but his heart was as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

Gu Xiyan: "By the way, let's add each other on WeChat."

Shen Chumo did not refuse. She took out her phone and scanned the QR code. Shen Chumo's WeChat profile picture was a cat lazily sunbathing, and her WeChat name was MO.

Gu Xiyan's WeChat profile picture was completely black, and his WeChat ID was XY.

The coincidence that both of them used their own names as their WeChat names made Gu Xiyan very happy.

They soon arrived at the gate, where Xiao Wu had been waiting for a long time. Gu Xiyan helped Shen Chumo into the car and waved goodbye reluctantly, saying, "Let me know you got home safely."

Shen Chumo obediently replied, "Okay, goodbye, Brother Xiyan."

"Goodbye, let me know you got home safely."
