tarily. She regained some composure, opened her mouth, pursed her lips, and whispered, "...I have overstepped my bounds. I am ignorant of propriety."The crown prince looked at him: "This son of mine...Then Chen Bei continued, "Is that person Zhou Senior"

Ning Shu was startled, then widened her eyes slightly, looking at her in disbelief.

After all, he didn't reveal any other information from beginning to end.

Chen Bei, seeing this, shrugged and said, "…I guessed it. After all, besides Zhou Senior being so excellent, there's no one else."

And the moment she first saw him, she sensed something special about Zhou Jingyu's feelings for Ning Shu...

She couldn't quite put her finger on what was different, perhaps it was just a gut feeling.

Besides Zhou Jingyu, who else has such a close relationship with Ning Yang to the point of taking care of his younger brother everywhere

Chen Bei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

That's Zhou, the senior!

Zhou Jingyu.

An idol of many, an existence to look up to, even a god among men wouldn't be too much. It can be said that some people even worked hard to get into this school just because of them.

...just to be closer to their idol....

But Zhou Jingyu has never dated a girlfriend so far. He is like an unplucked orchid, only admired from afar and unattainable.

But such a person, even a genius-like figure, actually likes Ning Shu.

Likes her brother who is into grass.

As a friend of Ning Shu, Chen Bei found herself unable to contain her excitement.

She couldn't help but say, " ...So Zhou senior likes guys."

Ning Shu hurriedly waved her hand. "No, there must be a misunderstanding somewhere."

He thought for a moment and said, "...Chen Bei, I should have misunderstood. Can you please not spread this around"

Chen Bei nodded and assured, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

She glanced at Ning Shu and whispered, “I didn't expect Zhou senior would like you. So many boys had confessed to him before, but he didn't agree to any of them.”

Ning Shu blushed, he took a deep breath and denied it with all his might.

He regretted a little why he had told Chen his troubles.

And Chen Bei, being so intelligent, immediately guessed it.

Ning Shu bit her lip and argued seriously, "My brother told me that Zhou Senior doesn't like boys, I must have... misunderstood." She thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, this person is Chen Bei. Otherwise, if someone else found out about this...

Tomorrow, news will spread through school that Zhou Jingyu likes him. What will his brother think What will Zhou Jingyu think

Ning Shu also felt that she was a little impulsive because of the touch, which might have been an illusion, in the middle of the night the previous day.

Even now, as he thinks back on it, it feels like a dream.

Chen Bei saw through his self-deceptive explanations.

He didn't speak again.

Even as she was leaving, Chen Bei couldn't help but say, " ...Why do you think Zhou Senior Brother is treating you so well because of your brother"

She thought for a moment, then continued, "Ning Shu, you probably don't know what Zhou Jingyu is like in the eyes of others"

......

What is Zhou Jingyu like in the eyes of others

Ning Shu was unclear, in his view.

Zhou Jingyu is, besides his family and brother, the best person to him so far. He is also the one who makes him feel the safest.

"Zhou Xueshang's signature, how did you get Zhou Xueshang's signature"

A voice interrupted his thoughts.

Ning Shu looked over and saw that someone from the next-door dormitory had come to their place.

while Ning Shu's roommate Liu Qi was talking to him.

The classmate next door seemed still a little unconvinced until Liu Qi took out the autograph, at which point he was speechless.

My neighbor said, "Zhou Senior is not really into signing things for people. He says he's just an ordinary person and not even a formally practicing lawyer. That's why he never signs for people; how did you get his"

Li Qi was a little surprised: "Did Zhou senior also say that"

The classmate next to me nodded. "I heard that before, when Zhou Senior gave a speech, a student asked for his autograph, and he responded like that."

Liu Qi couldn't help but look over: "...I don't know either, Ning Shuben wanted it. Maybe he was looking at Ning Yang because he is his brother." He wasn't too sure about that last sentence.

The other person also looked over in surprise, then nodded, as if believing his explanation.

"Maybe, after all, Ning senior and Zhou senior get along pretty well."

"Hearing you say that, I feel like Ning Shu and Zhou Senior's relationship is better." Another roommate said, "Because Zhou Senior broke his own principles for him."

Ning Shu listened to these words and slowly pursed her lips.

Then I thought of what Chen Bei said.

He slowly looked at his chat history with Zhou Jingyu, lingering on their last conversation.

Ning Shu closed it again.

......

Ning Shu put her clothes in, intending to contact the other party.

This was what he wore last time at Zhou Jingyu's place. After washing it, he never got a chance to return it.

But he kept looking at the chat page.

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't send it.

So Ning Shu put the things back, thinking to himself, "I'll wait a few more days."

Ning Yang has been very busy lately, so busy that he had no time for anything else. It wasn't until recently that he relaxed.

He thought of his friend whom he hadn't seen in a while, so he invited him out to play basketball together.

When Zhou Jingyu appeared, Ning Yang threw the ball to him.

The other party caught it steadily.

Ning Yang said, “Last time’s thing I haven’t asked you yet, did you bring my younger brother to your new house When did my younger brother become closer to you than we old friends”

He clicked his tongue.

As if I could hear what he was really saying.

Zhou Jingyu raised an eyebrow: "If you want to go, you can go and have a look today too."

Ning Yang curled his lips and said, “No need, actually, I haven't seen Xiaoshū in a while these past few days.” He casually added, "Call him out here with us."

Then, she sent Ning Shu a few messages.

Zhou Jingyu just stood there, calmly watching him send messages.

When Ning Shu received his brother's message, he was in his dormitory.

Several roommates are discussing their recent coursework.

He looked down and saw that it was his brother calling him to play basketball together.

Ning Yang has been very busy lately and is just relaxing now.

Ning Shu also missed her brother a little, but when she thought about it, Ning Yang would probably bring Zhou Jingyu along. For a moment, she was at a loss and pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, but still refused.

He said he's been a little busy with studying lately, so he won't be going.

While Ning Yang, who received his younger brother's reply, said: “Let's just fight ourselves. Or should we get Wang Lin and the others to join us”

They probably haven't had much free time lately.

Zhou Jingyu lowered his eyes slightly: "Isn't your brother coming"

Ning Yang raised his phone: "Busy studying, I probably won't have much free time lately."

Zhou Jingyu didn't speak, but his eyelids twitched downward slightly.

His expression remained calm, but his knuckles tightened slightly when he gripped the ball.

Even Ning Yang could feel that his friend's state seemed a bit off.

......

Ning Shu felt that she should maintain some distance from her brother's friends for a while. She was afraid that she was overthinking and misinterpreting their intentions.

To avoid awkwardness between two people.

Even when returning the clothes, Ning Shu didn't contact Zhou Jingyu directly.

He initially wanted to ask his brother to pass it on.

But I'm also afraid that my brother might notice something.

So Ning Shu thought about it and only came up with one person. It was Yang Li, whom he had met a few times. So he called the other party: "Senior Yang, are you free"

Yang Li was free, and when Ning Yang's younger brother said he needed his help, he came out.

Ning Shu passed over the clothes and thought about what to say: “This is something Yu Ge left at my place last time. I haven't had a chance to return it recently. I heard from my brother that he's been very busy lately. Senior Yang is in the same profession as him, so could Senior Yang help me return this to Yu Ge”

Yang Li felt a little strange. First, because Ning Yang was closer to Zhou Shen, and second, he felt...Zhou Shen's relationship with Ning Shu was not as unfamiliar as he imagined, but even better than he expected.

But why would Ning Shu ask him for help

But that's just a small matter.

Yang Li wouldn't even bother to help with such a small favor, not to mention that he was actually going to see Zhou Shen today. So he took the things over and agreed readily: "Sure, no problem. I'll return it to Zhou Shen for you today."

Ning Shu nodded and said thank you, inviting them to have a meal together next time.

Yang Li waved his hand and said, "It's a small favor. What does it matter to me and your brother and Zhou Shen"

He agreed, and when he went to see Zhou Jingyu in the afternoon, he also brought the things along.

Yang Li didn't know what was inside. He respected other people's privacy and naturally didn't peek.

When I saw Zhou Shen.

Yang Li relayed Ning Shu's words: "Zhou Shen, this is from your brother Ning Yang."

Zhou Jingyu looked at the bag in his hand, his face calm.

After a while, he finally took it: "Good."

Yang Li asked: “What is this thing, Zhou Shen”

Zhou Jingyu didn't reply to him, only asking, "Why didn't Ning Shu come find me herself"

Yang Li was taken aback and scratched his head, saying: "He said that you've been very busy lately and didn't want to disturb Zhou Shen."

Zhou Jingyu raised an eyebrow slightly.

but didn't say anything.

Yang Li looked at Zhou Shen regaining his calm expression again, but inexplicably felt that his mood seemed a bit off.

......

Yang Li messaged him, saying that the favor he asked for was done and the item had reached Zhou Jingyu's hands.

Ning Shu, seeing this, let out a sigh of relief.

Thank you again.

Yang Li said no need to thank.

He couldn't help but chime in, "Ning gege, are you and Zhou Shen having some kind of disagreement"

I think Zhou Shen seems to be in a bit of a bad mood today.

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, then said no.

Thus, Yang Li did not ask any further questions.

After the message box closed, Ning Shu lay in bed for a while in a daze.

Zhou Jingyu is in a bad mood, it probably has nothing to do with him though. not let go of him, instead holding him tighter.Ning Shu didn't speak, she listened to the beating of her heart on her chest, calming her breath before she pursed her lips and said: "…Yu Ge"Zhou Jingy...
