Chapter 037

Guo Bao Rou had a great time playing. By the time she returned, the courtyard was already filled with the aroma of roasted whole lamb.

“Roasted whole lamb is best eaten in winter.” Guo Bao Rou slurped up her drool that was about to drip out, and said with a serious face, “Eating it in this season can easily cause internal heat. For the sake of preventing Dad and Mom from getting internal heat, I’m willing to share their burden and eat a little more.”

“Good child.” The corners of Yan Jin’s lips curled up slightly. “Lamb is warming. It’s not suitable for children to eat too much. For the sake of your health, your Dad and I have decided to share your burden and eat a little more.”

“Your Mom is right,” Yu Shu said, holding back his laughter. “Although we don’t really like eating roasted whole lamb, we’ve decided to make a sacrifice for the sake of our child’s healthy growth.”

Seeing the two people turning the tables on her with just a few words, Guo Bao Rou stomped her feet anxiously, “No, no! Children can also eat roasted whole lamb! I want to eat it too!”

[Little Jin and Little Yu are too naughty. They even say they’re adults. Compared to this little girl, they’re not much older and are still kids themselves.] [Although I know there are viewers of all ages in the live stream, it still feels a bit awkward to see comments that are clearly from the older generation.]

The two teased Guo Bao Rou a few more times. Seeing tears welling up in her eyes and that she was about to cry, they stopped teasing her. “Of course there’s a share for you. Just now, Dad and Mom were just joking and teasing you.”

Only then did Guo Bao Rou stop her tears and mumble in a childish voice, “Mom and Dad are so mean.”

Seeing Guo Bao Rou mumbling in a childish voice, Yan Jin’s hands and heart both itched to tease her again, but was stopped by Yu Shu beside her. “Xiao Xiao, enough is enough. If we tease her any more, Guo Bao Rou will really cry, and then we’ll have to coax her.”

“What a pity.” Yan Jin shook her head regretfully. “It’s so fun to tease children.”

“I can already imagine the miserable state of your future children,” Yu Shu sighed. “Unable to surpass their mother in studies, and still being teased by their mother in life. Too miserable.”

“If you can’t stand it at that time, you can come over and help persuade them.” Yan Jin smiled ambiguously. “With our situation, even if we get married in the future, we’ll probably still be neighbors, right?”

“I don’t want to.” Yu Shu raised his eyebrows. “When I get married in the future, I only want to be with the person I like. I don’t care about close friends or whatnot.”

Yan Jin couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect you to value love over friendship, Yuan Yuan.”

“The person I like is definitely more important than my friends.” Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin, his fair earlobes gradually turning red, becoming redder and redder. “To me, the person I like is definitely the most important person in this world.”

Yan Jin found that Yu Shu’s gaze at her actually carried a hint of shyness. She frowned slightly and poked the system: Why do I feel like Yu Shu has fallen for me?

The system didn’t directly answer, but instead asked an irrelevant question.

[If Yu Shu really likes you, will you be happy?]

Yan Jin frowned slightly, lost in thought.

The live stream also became more lively due to Yan Jin’s pondering.

[Is there even a need to say it? With someone as outstanding as Yu Shu liking her, Yan Jin will definitely be happy!] [The person above must have a brain disorder. Based on how these two are behaving, it’s clearly the opposite, right?] [Yu Shu is great, but Yan Jin is not bad either. She was in a vegetative state for three years, yet after waking up and taking the college entrance exam, she could still become the top scorer. With her learning ability, are you telling me she would be happy because of a celebrity’s affection?]

To be honest, she was a little happy, but more troubled.

Yan Jin looked at Yu Shu, who was laughing and talking with Guo Bao Rou, and answered the system in her heart: Yu Shu is great, but she can’t guarantee loving only Yu Shu forever, so Yan Jin doesn’t want Yu Shu to fall for her.

People who are courteous and proper before falling in love can become unrecognizable before breaking up. It’s really too troublesome.

And Yan Jin felt that the system’s guess was wrong.

Yan Jin saw that Yu Shu’s sleeve was stained with oil, so she handed him a handkerchief. Their fingertips unintentionally touched, and Yu Shu’s eyelashes fluttered as he gave Yan Jin a grateful and delighted look.

See, she just handed him a handkerchief, and Yu Shu was already so happy. It shows that she usually treats Yu Shu poorly, which is why he would be pleasantly surprised by a small favor.

If she usually treated Yu Shu well, it would be understandable for Yu Shu to fall for her.

But if she usually doesn’t treat Yu Shu well, yet Yu Shu can still fall for her, then that’s not called love, it’s called Stockholm syndrome.
