Chapter 111

“You heard that,” Yu Shu said proudly, lifting his chin like a rooster who had just won a fight. “She said she only wants to be with me.”

The man’s face turned pale, looking a bit like the pitifully crying Yuan Yuan. Yan Jin felt a twinge of compassion and said, “You’re still young. One day, you’ll meet the person you truly like.”

Yan Jin played the good cop while Yu Shu played the bad cop. Even if the man felt reluctant, he could only bite his lip, turn around, and take his leave.

After sending the man away, Yan Jin and Yu Shu prepared to go downstairs for dinner.

As soon as they sat down in the private room, Yu Shu started tapping on the table, not responding to Yan Jin’s words.

Seeing that Yu Shu was still jealous, Yan Jin patted his head. “Yuan Yuan, I didn’t even glance at that man just now. How come you’re still jealous?”

“Is it strange for me to still be jealous?” Yu Shu said coldly. “He dared to openly flirt with you right in front of me. If I weren’t there, he would have definitely offered to share your bed.”

“What does it matter if he offers to share my bed?” Yan Jin knew from his words that Yuan Yuan’s jealousy hadn’t subsided. “I don’t like him anyway.”

Yu Shu turned away. “But you looked at him several times just now.”

“Because I found that his eyes were a bit similar to yours when we first met.” Yan Jin couldn’t help but smile as she recalled their first encounter. “That’s why I couldn’t resist looking a few times.”

“How are they similar?” Yu Shu wasn’t convinced. “When I first met you, I didn’t have any improper thoughts about you.”

Yan Jin was really too blind. Instead of looking at him, she went to look at some irrelevant person.

“Indeed, they’re not very similar.” Yan Jin smoothed Yu Shu’s ruffled feathers. “That’s why after looking a few times, I shifted my gaze. After all, with such a good Yuan Yuan by my side, no matter how good-looking others are, they can’t compare to you.”

Yan Jin meant to express that she valued Yu Shu as a person, not his face, but Yu Shu misunderstood.

“So you mean I’m not as good-looking as him?” Yu Shu pointed at his own face, eyes slightly widened. “You think that man is better-looking than me?”

[Their dialogues sometimes really feel gender-swapped, with a sour yet refreshing feeling.] [I think the vast majority of our male compatriots can learn a lot from this couple. The techniques Yan Jin uses to coax Yu Shu are very suitable for boyfriends coaxing their girlfriends, completely compatible without any incompatibility.]

“How could that be!” Yan Jin feigned surprise and gasped. “Yuan Yuan, you need to have confidence in your face!”

Yu Shu raised his voice slightly. “Then why didn’t you mention earlier that I’m better-looking than him?”

“Because your good looks are a very common thing, not worth specifically mentioning as an advantage.” Yan Jin said, “It’s like the water we drink every day. We’ve already gotten used to the sweetness of water and won’t specially praise it.”

Even though Yan Jin’s compliment sounded a bit awkward, after figuring out what she meant, the little grudge that had risen in Yu Shu’s heart dissipated.

“I know there must be many people who like Yan Jin. I can’t do anything about the past, but now that I’m by your side, you’re not allowed to pay attention to them.”

After holding Yan Jin’s hand and interlocking their fingers, Yu Shu muttered softly, “They’re not like me. They haven’t been through so much with you. What they truly like is you as a person, not your face.”

“They say they like you after meeting you only a couple of times. It’s just superficial attraction based on looks, not genuine affection for you.”

If it were Yan Jin’s previous boyfriends who dared to control her like this, she would definitely be impatient.

She didn’t have the habit of having one foot in two boats. Her boyfriend specifically instructing her so much, wasn’t that just him not trusting her as a person?

But Yu Shu was different.

Among all the boyfriends Yan Jin had dated, Yuan Yuan was the youngest. When they got together, he had just turned eighteen. After that, the two of them went through so much together, so she couldn’t help but dote on him a bit more. No matter what Yuan Yuan said or did, she found him adorable.

Even now, as he held her hand and solemnly told her not to look at other men, Yan Jin still found Yuan Yuan very cute.

Even when he spoke halfway and secretly put down other men to make himself look better, Yan Jin found Yuan Yuan overwhelmingly adorable.

It was as if the kitten you raised, fearing that you would be enchanted by the cats outside, hugged your arm and acted coquettishly, telling you not to fool around with those other cats.

The owner would only find the kitten endearingly temperamental and needy, not annoying.

How could a kitten who loves to act spoiled have any ill intentions? He just loves you too much.

Because Yan Jin had a filter on when looking at Yu Shu, no matter what he said, the smile in her eyes never faded. She kept nodding and agreeing with him, “Mm-hmm, Yuan Yuan makes a good point.”
