that the man didn't seem to mean any harm, she relaxed her tense body."My Lord..." Helian Yu raised his eyes, his gaze slightly darkened, and his throat rolled subtly."Your Majesty, I never expected...Ning Shu has indeed been quite busy these days, so busy that he forgot all about Zhou Jingyu's affairs.

By the time I came to my senses, several days had passed.

Ning Yang is Ning Shu's older brother, and the students around them probably all know it. Therefore, some girls will also come over to ask Ning Shu about her brother's preferences, including Zhou Jingyu.

Also because of this, Ning Shu thought about those things again.

He couldn't help but let out a light sigh, feeling that he shouldn't... be so self-absorbed.

On the contrary, it might embarrass him. Perhaps his brother's friend didn't mean anything by it

But whenever I think about that night, the lingering touch on my forehead, it doesn't feel like a dream.

Ning Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips.

He hesitated, thinking to himself that although he had indeed received some confessions from others. But Ning Shu also had some self-awareness. How could his brother's friends, who were so outstanding, possibly like him

......

Ning Shu hadn't expected that she would run into Ning Yang and Zhou Jingyu, who was by his side, when she was out with her classmates.

His classmates, seeing two equally handsome guys, were quite happy.

< still warmly greeted Ning Yang and the other person with care. >

The tall young man's gaze first fell on the boy, then he nodded faintly: "Hello."

Ning Yang's lips curled into a slight smile. "Would you like to have dinner with us"

A few of Ning Shu's classmates were actually interested, but they had other things to attend to at the last minute and could only regretfully decline.

It's been a while since I last saw my brother.

Ning Shu also misses him a little.

Ning Yang raised his hand, rubbed his head, and let him walk with him.

Ning Shu subconsciously raised her head and bumped into a pair of deep, boundless eyes.

Zhou Jingyu stood in place, just lowering her eyes, gazing at him with a calm expression.

...but there was not the slightest sign of movement. ...

His eyes darkened slightly.

Ning Shu pursed her lips, feeling a strange kind of awkwardness, her cheeks flushed.

But still opened his mouth and called out, "Yu Ge."

He vaguely remembered a few days ago asking Yang Li to return the clothes to the other party...

Ning Shu couldn't help but think, what was her brother's friend thinking

He subconsciously glanced at the other person again.

Zhou Jingyu was also looking at him, but immediately, his face returned to normal as he turned away and said in a low voice, "Hmm."

Ning Shu pursed her lips, seeming to be fine.

He couldn't help but think, maybe he was overthinking things....

Ning Yang noticed his younger brother's absentmindedness and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong"

Ning Shu shook her head.

They went to the school cafeteria together and had a meal.

Ning Yang hadn't eaten at school in a long time, but he kind of missed the taste.

He's either socializing or busy with other things these days.

When Ning Shu sat down, he discovered Zhou Jingyu was sitting opposite him. He hesitated for a moment, just about to ask his brother to switch places, but Ning Yang had already taken a seat first.

He had to sit quietly in place.

Ning Yang first asked him what he had been up to lately.

Ning Shu answered truthfully.

Ning Yang said, “I’ve been rather busy lately and have neglected you. If you need anything, please call me. If that doesn't work, you can also reach out to Jingyu.”

Ning Shu nodded.

He wanted to say that he already owed Zhou Jingyu a lot of favors, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to pay them back.

But Ning Yang clearly didn't treat the other party as an outsider.

Ning Shu pursed her lips and looked over.

Zhou Jingyu sat opposite him, his gaze also drooping downward, meeting his.

Ning Shu was startled and subconsciously turned away first.

He unconsciously fiddled with his food, his cheeks bulging like a squirrel's, his eyelashes fluttering.

And Zhou Jingyu, sitting opposite him, remained silent throughout, his expression remarkably calm.

....

After finally finishing the meal, Ning Shu naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible. She assured Ning Yang several times before hurrying away.

He didn't think he was being very obvious.

but I didn't know, I felt like a scared squirrel running away, my eyes were blinking nervously and I didn't dare to look anyone in the eye.

Ning Shu certainly didn't think she could stay this way forever, after all, Ning Yang was going to stay here to start a business after graduation.

He may also choose to stay.

while Zhou Jingyu was the brother's best friend, life after this would inevitably be intertwined with him.

Don't jump to conclusions based on your own wishful thinking.

So when Ning Yang asked him out to dinner, even though Ning Shu knew Zhou Jingyu would also be there, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Because he had been refused once, it was impossible for him to be refused a second time.

If you keep refusing, anyone can see something is wrong.

Ning Shu did some mental preparation for herself. Those were just because of her brother's reasons to take care of her, that's all.

Ning Yang has treated people to dinner before.

But Zhou Jingyu didn't seem to mean it. In a languid tone over the phone, he said, "Isn't Lawyer Zhou giving me face"

Opposite Zhou Jingyu said calmly, "There's another competition to prepare for next week."

Since he said so.

Ning Yang certainly wouldn't continue to force it. He thought for a moment, and said to Wang Lin beside him: "My brother should be here soon, you go down and take a look."

Someone who had originally intended to hang up the phone hesitated.

Wang Lin stood up and asked, "Isn't Jing Yu coming"

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the phone perfectly.

Níng Yáng, who was about to end the call, was surprised to find that the person on the other end hadn't hung up. Just as he was taken aback, the person on the other end spoke in their usual low voice, "Where are you"

Ning Yang said, “Don’t you have a match next week”

Zhou Jingyu said faintly, "It's good for your mind and body to relax occasionally."

.....

When Ning Shu came over, her brother and several of his friends were already sitting there. He was brought by Zhang Lin, and Ning Shu had met most of her brother's friends before, so she wasn't unfamiliar with them.

He looked around, but he didn't see the most familiar figure.

Ning Shu was startled and subconsciously asked, "Won't Yu Ge be coming"

Zhang Lin replied, “He hasn't arrived yet. I wasn't planning on coming either.”

Ning Shu didn't know what this sentence meant, he sat in his place. Everyone took care of him, they didn't let him drink, and wouldn't feel disappointed either.

After all, Ning Shu is Ning Yang's precious younger brother. Even the future Zhou lawyer protects him like his own brother.

Ning Shu couldn't help but look towards the doorway.

Then she lowered her head again.

I don't know how long it took.

A voice arrived late and said, "Sorry for the wait."

He looked up.

Zhou Jingyu slowly placed his coat aside and then glanced around. He walked over and said, "May I sit here"

Ning Shu was startled and realized that the spot beside her was actually empty.

He nodded, his ears feeling a bit warm.

but she didn't dare to look at her brother's friends in the eye. touching the blanket covering Ning Shu.Ning Shu's eyelashes trembled even more violently.He couldn't help but quickly bite his lips, his cheeks flushing crimson with shame, even his whole body felt e...
