Although he had no right to interfere with what kind of husband Yan Jin chose in the future, someone who obviously only cared about looks was definitely not suitable for Yan Jin.
“They might not be a good match.” Yu Shu suppressed the sourness that secretly rose in his heart and earnestly analyzed the reasons why they were unsuitable.
“You’re right.” Xu Junde also joined in the teasing, “The rest of us haven’t even exchanged three sentences with Miss Yan. Our understanding of her is definitely not as deep as yours.”
Xu Junde noticed Yu Shu subconsciously raising his chin slightly and secretly laughed inside, but pretended to be curious on the surface, “I wonder what kind of man you think is most suitable for your Miss Yan?”
Yu Shu had never really thought carefully about this question before. Hearing Xu Junde ask this, he also pondered along.
“Xiao Xiao is a bit stubborn. She definitely can’t find a man who is equally stubborn. Otherwise, when the two quarrel, neither side will be willing to give in. They will only argue more and more fiercely, and their feelings will be argued away like this.”
“That’s indeed true.” Guo Guo’s father held back his laughter painfully, “For someone with a serious personality like Miss Yan, she’s most suitable to be with those lively and cute young men.”
For example, like Yu Shu.
“Can’t be too lively and cute either.” Yu Shu shook his head, “Someone too lively and cute won’t know how to take care of others. When the two quarrel, Xiao Xiao will still have to coax him. That’s too tiring.”
[Haha, Yu Shu who needs to be coaxed by Yan Jin every time he gets angry, don’t you feel guilty saying that?] [Yu Shu: I’m not jealous. I’m just very seriously helping a friend choose a suitable partner for her.] [If we really go by Yu Shu’s standards to find someone, after searching high and low, he will definitely be surprised to discover that he himself is the most suitable person for Yan Jin. Tsk tsk, Yu Shu’s thousand-layered schemes are impossible to guard against.]The squinty-eyed man said, “Can’t be too lively and cute, and can’t be too stubborn. Then I think those learned and reasonable gentlemen from prestigious families are most suitable for Miss Yan.”
“This type is even more unsuitable.” Yu Shu frowned. Recalling how he sighed at the sunset before while Yan Jin sighed beside him that it would be troublesome to travel after dark, he shook his head, “Although Xiao Xiao is well-read, she won’t like men who speak in a rigid and stilted manner. They won’t have anything to talk about.”
Saying this, Yu Shu suppressed the sourness in his heart and continued, “And sometimes Xiao Xiao likes to tease people. If the other party has a gentle and refined personality, they will definitely be angered.”
The sharp-faced man said, “Can’t be too stubborn and honest, can’t be too lively and playful, and even less able to speak in a stilted manner. Then it will be difficult for Miss Yan to find a husband in the future.”
“How can it be difficult for Xiao Xiao, who is so good, to find a husband?” Yu Shu disagreed with this statement, “It’s those people who are not worthy of her.”
“But a young man who is not stubborn, not too lively, and definitely can’t speak in a stilted way.” The round-faced man said slyly, “I’ve thought about it over and over, looked left and right, and it seems that only you, Yu Shu, meet the criteria around here.”
Yu Shu’s mind exploded with a “boom.”
His eyes quickly filled with a layer of shyness, and his originally fair cheeks gradually turned red, getting redder and redder, almost dripping blood.
“Me, how could it be me?” Yu Shu began to speak incoherently, “We’re just friends, and Xiao Xiao doesn’t like me. She only treats me as a friend. You can’t count me in.”
The squinty-eyed man said, “But according to the criteria you mentioned, in the end, you’re indeed the only one who meets the requirements.”
Yu Shu mumbled, “I was just making some deductions based on Yan Jin’s personality about who might not suit her. I never thought about putting myself together with her.”
“Don’t say this again in the future. Xiao Xiao doesn’t like me. If her future husband finds out, he won’t be happy.”
After returning that day, Yu Shu was still thinking about what Xu Junde had asked him.
“Yu Shu, what exactly are you afraid of?”
“Miss Yan clearly likes you, and you like her too. You have mutual feelings for each other, so why won’t you take the first step?”
The system also asked Yu Shu what he was afraid of, but Yu Shu didn’t answer anyone’s questions. Instead, he solidly practiced his cooking skills for a few days.
Yu Shu’s part-time job was writing romance novels. He had a wealth of theoretical knowledge about love and also longed for and looked forward to the arrival of love.
But he didn’t know what position he held in Yan Jin’s heart. Was he the one they relied on each other in this different world; or a friend she could joke around with casually; or just someone to pass the time with when she had nothing to do?
Yan Jin was busy these past few days, and Yu Shu didn’t want to disturb her. But what Yu Shu didn’t expect was that one night, Yan Jin actually knocked on his door.
“Yu Shu, I think you’re the most amazing author in this world. I’ve been moved countless times by the worlds you’ve created with your pen, whether it’s the first time reading or rereading. I’m always very happy when I read your works.”
“I’ve always wanted to tell you that no matter if it’s Yuan Zi Jiu or Tao Zi Jiu, you’re the most outstanding author I’ve ever seen.”
Although Yu Shu was very touched, Yan Jin’s sudden words still left him at a loss. He didn’t understand why Yan Jin suddenly said such a moving yet also very confusing speech.
“Thank you.” Yu Shu touched his slightly longer hair, looking completely bewildered, “But why are you suddenly telling me all this?”
Yan Jin told him honestly, “I noticed you seemed to be in a bad mood these past few days, so I thought maybe someone said you didn’t write well and made you unhappy.”
As soon as Yu Shu digested the meaning of Yan Jin’s words, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up.
“No one has scolded me for writing badly these past few days. Even if there were such words, I’m not that fragile.” Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin, his tone gentle, “Whether it’s my main job or my part-time job, I’m used to being scolded. I won’t get angry because of that.”
“Really not angry?” Yan Jin was half-believing, half-doubting. “If someone scolds you, you have to tell me. I’ll help you put a sack over their head.”
Yu Shu helplessly covered his forehead, but his tone was full of laughter, “You even know how to put a sack over someone’s head?”
“Although I’ve never done this kind of thing before, I’ll ask someone to help put a sack over their head.” Yan Jin glanced at Yu Shu, whose eyes were curved in a smile, and the corners of her mouth also lifted, “Although the first time doing business, I might not be very skilled, but in order to make you happy, I will try my best.”
“Xiao Xiao, really, no one has scolded me.” Yu Shu’s dimples were dazzlingly hanging at the corners of his mouth, “Don’t worry, I’ve just been thinking about things these past few days.”
“Have you figured it out?” Yan Jin asked, “If you haven’t figured it out, don’t be too tangled up about it. There will always be a way when the cart reaches the mountain, and the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. There will always be a day when it’s resolved.”
Yu Shu stared at Yan Jin without blinking. When the latter started feeling a bit uncomfortable from being stared at, he softly said, “I’ve figured it out.”
