Chapter 145: Chapter 143: Saw Her

After brewing the tea, Shen Shilan took a sip.

She lowered her eyes, trying to control her emotions, but failed. Her eyes welled up.

A tear fell.

Su Miaoyi also took a sip of the tea she had brewed.

When she looked up, she saw a large tear roll down Shen Shilan’s cheek.

Startled, she quickly grabbed a few tissues for Shen Shilan.

’Even though the tea I made isn’t as good as Shen Yanzhou’s—it’s actually a far cry from it—but... but... it can’t be so bad that it made her cry, right?’

Su Miaoyi screamed internally.

If she were a cat, all her fur would be standing on end right now.

’I have to meet the Department Head this afternoon, and this morning I made his wife cry with my terrible tea.’

’AHHHH!!!’

Su Miaoyi watched her.

Shen Shilan pressed the tissue to her eyes for a moment, forcing her tears back.

She looked at Su Miaoyi, who was staring at her with wide, nervous eyes, and managed a small smile. ”Did I scare you?”

Su Miaoyi bit her lip and asked cautiously, ”Is it that bad? I’m not very good at brewing tea.”

Shen Shilan smiled. ”It’s delicious.”

”Just wait, I’ll practice. I’ll make you even better tea in the future,” Su Miaoyi said with a smile.

After she said it, a flicker of doubt crossed her mind.

’Why did I say ”in the future”?’

Shen Shilan nodded with a smile. ”Alright.”

’From when she practiced at five, to twenty, and even now, this flavor has never changed.’

’A taste all its own.’

Shen Shilan dabbed the corners of her eyes with the tissue again, catching another tear that was about to fall.

”How’s work? Is it very tiring?” Shen Shilan asked.

”It’s alright,” Su Miaoyi said. ”It gets tiring when we have a case, but it’s pretty relaxing when we don’t. Plus, I don’t have to work a desk job.”

Shen Shilan said, ”Take care of your health, and be safe.”

Su Miaoyi nodded. ”I will.”

They chatted about this and that, and more than two hours flew by. They had completely forgotten about Shen Yanzhou.

Su Miaoyi felt that even though she was with a stranger—and the Department Head’s wife at that—she should have been reserved, but instead she felt unusually relaxed.

Being with her felt like her whole being was being purified.

If Shen Yanzhou made her feel one hundred percent relaxed, then being with Shen Shilan was like ten thousand percent relaxation.

She felt safe and at ease. Even the emotional pressure and anxiety she usually carried had vanished.

She even found herself wanting Shen Shilan to live here.

It was almost twelve-thirty. Su Miaoyi said, ”Professor Shen, there’s a really delicious hot pot place nearby. Let me treat you.”

”Alright,” Shen Shilan said.

The two of them headed out.

”Put on a jacket. It’s windy outside,” Shen Shilan said.

”Oh.” Su Miaoyi went to grab a jacket and put it on.

As she was putting on her shoes at the door, Shen Shilan helped her tie the sash on the back of her jacket.

Su Miaoyi’s eyelashes fluttered twice as she changed her shoes.

Once her shoes were on, Shen Shilan straightened her collar.

Su Miaoyi glanced at her, then lowered her gaze.

’This feeling is so familiar.’

”Let’s go,” Shen Shilan said.

After leaving the apartment, they walked to the elevator and saw Shen Yanzhou, who was also waiting there.

Shen Yanzhou heard the door open and thought Su Miaoyi was coming out.

It was indeed Su Miaoyi, but Shen Shilan was with her.

The moment he saw Shen Shilan...

The smile on Shen Yanzhou’s face froze. He shuddered. ”Aunt?”

Su Miaoyi raised an eyebrow.

’Did he do something wrong? This is the first time I’ve ever seen Shen Yanzhou so scared.’

Shen Shilan smiled serenely.

Shen Yanzhou felt like it was hard to breathe. He wanted an oxygen tank.

He looked at Shen Shilan, then at Su Miaoyi.

”Aunt, what are you doing here?”

”What do you think?” Shen Shilan asked.

Shen Yanzhou didn’t dare to speak.

Su Miaoyi thought he looked like he’d been grabbed by the scruff of his neck by fate.

Just then, the elevator doors opened.

Shen Shilan took Su Miaoyi’s hand and led her into the elevator.

Shen Yanzhou stared at their joined hands, frozen for two seconds before stepping into the elevator.

As he walked in, the closing door bumped his shoulder.

”Aunt, are you two going to...”

Shen Shilan looked at him but said nothing.

Su Miaoyi said, ”We’re going to eat.”

”I haven’t eaten either,” Shen Yanzhou said with a smile.

”Skipping one meal won’t kill you,” Shen Shilan said.

”Your dear nephew,” Shen Yanzhou said, playing the family card.

”Your dear aunt,” Shen Shilan retorted.

Su Miaoyi looked back and forth between them.

’Are they exchanging a secret code?’

In the end, the three of them went for hot pot together.

After hot pot, Shen Shilan had to go to the university.

She no longer had master’s students, but she was still advising her doctoral candidates.

She had driven over.

Before leaving, she looked at Su Miaoyi. She tried to hold back, but couldn’t, and pulled her into a hug.

Su Miaoyi was taken aback by the hug.

She froze for two seconds before hugging her back.

”I’ll come for tea often,” Shen Shilan said.

”You’re always welcome,” Su Miaoyi replied.

Shen Yanzhou also opened his arms.

Shen Shilan glanced at him.

”I’m in great need of some comfort right now,” Shen Yanzhou said.

Shen Shilan didn’t even want to look at him. She got in the car and shut the door.

Shen Yanzhou: ”...”

Shen Shilan gave Su Miaoyi one last look, then drove away.

The two of them watched the car drive off into the distance.

Shen Yanzhou let out a soft sigh.

’I can’t quite describe what I’m feeling right now.’

’It’s too complicated.’

’Everything is all mixed up. Beyond the chaos, I can’t tell which emotion is stronger. I can’t feel it out.’

He turned his head and saw Su Miaoyi silently crying.

”What’s wrong?”

Suddenly, Shen Yanzhou’s own emotions became clear.

Worry. He was very worried.

Su Miaoyi covered her eyes with both hands. ”I don’t know. I just want to cry. I really, really want to cry.”

Shen Yanzhou watched as she covered her eyes, her silent weeping turning into quiet sobs.

His own eyes reddened as well.

’Silly girl.’

He raised his hand and finally, slowly, placed it on her head, stroking it gently.

Su Miaoyi sobbed quietly for a while, then said, ”I’m too full from the hot pot. I can’t eat the pizza from that place across the street now.”

Saying this seemed to make her even sadder.

Shen Yanzhou: ”...”

”We’ll eat it. We’ll eat it tonight,” Shen Yanzhou said. ”We’ll eat ten of them.”

Su Miaoyi wiped her tears and sniffled. ”How did you know I could eat ten?”

The corner of Shen Yanzhou’s mouth twitched. ”You must be dreaming.”

Su Miaoyi chuckled.

Shen Yanzhou patted her head lightly. ”Come on, I’ll take you to work.”

”I need to go back and change my clothes first,” Su Miaoyi said.

She didn’t have a uniform, so she had to at least dress a bit more formally.

”Okay.”

...

Zhuang Yanzheng escorted Su Miaoyi to the door of Qin Chengyuan’s office.

He waited outside for a moment until it was confirmed she could go in.

Su Miaoyi looked at Zhuang Yanzheng.

Zhuang Yanzheng smiled. ”So there are things you’re afraid of, after all?”

”Weren’t you scared when a teacher called you to their office alone back in school?” Su Miaoyi whispered.

”The teacher was usually the one who was scared,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. ”Because it meant I’d made more trouble for them.”

Su Miaoyi: ”...”

”Hurry up and go in,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi knocked on the door.

After hearing a voice from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

Qin Chengyuan had just finished a drink of water and was about to put his cup down.

He watched Su Miaoyi walk in, his eyes fixed on her. He froze abruptly. Then, the cup slipped from his hand and fell onto the desk.

THUD...
