Chapter 837: Chapter 827: Farewell, Classmate Su Qing (Part 1)

"Hey, little brother, weren’t you supposed to be at the police station with Xiao Tang? Why are you back?"

As Su Qing suddenly walked in, Shen Yi was initially taken aback but then gave him a teasing look, occasionally glancing at Liu Shuzhu as if she had seen something entertaining.

Liu Shuzhu was equally startled. Compared to Shen Yi, her reaction was more pronounced—she stood up straightaway, her face full of panic and helplessness.

"Su Qing, I... I..."

She acted on impulse originally, and the moment she saw Shen Yi, she felt like letting go and even started to regret coming today. However, she knew that if she hadn’t come, she would likely feel miserable for a long time.

But she really wasn’t prepared to see Su Qing, especially under these circumstances, which made her feel as if she was sabotaging their relationship.

Even though she knew that Su Qing had a new relationship, she had simply wanted to come and take a look and had no intention of doing anything.

So seeing Su Qing, she panicked.

Seeing that Shen Yi and Liu Shuzhu were not as confrontational as he had imagined, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wasn’t much help over there, so I came back," Su Qing replied casually. Shen Yi didn’t mind, thinking that someone must have tipped Su Qing off, with the prime suspect being Feng Yan outside, as Feng Yan and Old Wang from the publicity department were close to her little brother.

After finishing, Su Qing looked at Liu Shuzhu with a complex expression, pursed his lips, and spoke, sweat beads falling from his forehead: "Why... why are you here?"

Honestly, since their breakup, he had been avoiding meeting Liu Shuzhu. Last year was unavoidable; he was caught directly. They reconnected on WeChat but never talked.

To put it bluntly, back then, if he hadn’t been with Shen Yi, he naturally wouldn’t have cared. If he had already been with Shen Yi, he would have likely declined back then.

Looking back now, he might as well have refused back then; it would have saved him this much discomfort. What a mess.

Even now, he didn’t know why Liu Shuzhu had come, and on top of that, she went straight to meet Shen Yi—it could indeed lead to serious trouble today.

In an instant, Su Qing had prepared for the worst outcome. At most, he’d have to go home tonight and explain to Aunt Shen, and he’d take whatever punishment she deemed fit.

After all, since they confirmed their relationship and met the parents, an issue like this definitely required an explanation to Shen Yi.

Su Qing’s expression showed no disdain, his tone no blame—just pure curiosity, with a hint of panic and helplessness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Shuzhu opened her mouth but failed to speak, rendering the room silent until Shen Yi broke the awkwardness with a smile:

"She’s here to see me, not you, so what’s it to you? If you’re free, go mind your own business and stop interrupting our chat."

Su Qing naturally understood Shen Yi’s words—it was a clear exit for him. He gratefully glanced at Shen Yi.

"No... no need, uh, I have some school matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. You two chat!"

Saying this, Liu Shuzhu nodded towards Shen Yi with a flushed face, then glanced at Su Qing and, without giving them any chance to stop her, left in a flustered hurry.

For the first time, Su Qing felt a sense of having nowhere to place his hands and feet, which was even harder to handle than an awkward silence, leaving even the narrator quiet without any cues.

Watching Liu Shuzhu’s slightly flustered departure, Shen Yi couldn’t help but shake her head. She had been prepared for a full-blast confrontation before seeing Liu Shuzhu, but the latter’s demeanor made it seem pointless, purely bullying.

If she was facing someone crafty, it might have been satisfying, but Liu Shuzhu didn’t even provoke that kind of thought in her—there wasn’t even a worthy adversary.

"Xiao Yi, I..."

"An ex-girlfriend, right? I know. And I also know it’s been almost two years since you broke up. Don’t worry, I’m not so petty, but I’m not overly generous either. We’ll deal with this when we get home tonight," Shen Yi rolled her eyes playfully and continued:

"Okay, once is enough, never again. Also, today I allow you to explain things clearly to her. I can’t interfere with the past, but in the future... you’re mine, so go see her off for me!"

Shen Yi sat on the couch, crossed her legs, and looked intensely at the little man in front of her, her aura slowly emanating.

Suddenly, Su Qing felt he had stepped into a dangerous zone. He didn’t even know if Shen Yi was angry or what she meant by her words.

Honestly, since the narrator appeared last year, he’d always been the one to have such a commanding presence targeting others, but now, no one, not even Old Zhao at the police station or Grandpa Wen, had made him feel like this before.

Perhaps because once desires fade, there’s strength, yet facing Shen Yi, it wasn’t working.

"Xiao Yi, let me explain. I honestly didn’t know she’d come; we haven’t been in touch for a long time." Su Qing anxiously explained.

Seeing Su Qing’s worried expression, Shen Yi covered her mouth and laughed softly, the pressure she exuded vanishing instantly. She stood up, walked over to him, tiptoed to pat his head, and laughed, "Alright, I’m not teasing you anymore. Look how scared you are. Of course, I trust you. I just find both of you quite interesting."

Upon seeing this, Su Qing heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the fine sweat off his forehead, feeling almost drained.

"But what I said earlier was indeed sincere. You’d better go and settle things with her today, close all matters in one go. If there’s a next time, I will be genuinely angry!"

"N-No need, right?" Su Qing stammered in reply.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi glared: "This is your last chance. If you can’t clarify things, I will be angry, you know?"

As soon as the words fell, the narrator sounded in Su Qing’s mind:

[Aunt Shen may not be angry about today’s incident, but not wanting it to happen again is genuine. No woman, no matter how magnanimous, will tolerate such things twice. You better go, lest Shen Yi thinks you’re still hesitant or embarrassed to face it. It’s better to speak openly!]

Listening to the narrator, Su Qing finally felt relieved, looking at Shen Yi with even more gentleness in his eyes. This woman truly seemed to be the best and most suitable partner he had ever met.

After all, trust like this is not something just anyone could offer, and she would always take care of his emotions in the role of an elder sister.

Just like the impression she made when he first woke up at Shen Yi’s place, intellectual, mature.

"Alright, I will talk to her. Wait for me!" Su Qing solemnly declared, before decisively turning and running after Liu Shuzhu.

Now that the situation had occurred, he, as a man, must take some action. Procrastination was not his style.

Watching Su Qing leave, thinking of his expression before going, the corners of Shen Yi’s mouth slightly curled up as she muttered softly, "What a nuisance!"

"Xiao Su, what happened?"

Su Qing had just reached the stairwell when Feng Yan asked him.

"No time to explain," he said, then quickly dashed towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Feng Yan shook her head, "Oh, my dear Little President Su, what has become of you!"

In the planning department office, after witnessing Liu Shuzhu and Su Qing rushing out, the eyes of the social media zealot burned with the fire of gossip.

"Fascinating, truly fascinating!"

"Mumu, what’s so fascinating?" Lin Miaomiao was a bit confused, as her mind couldn’t handle such an intricate plot.

"Just eat your ice bar; you don’t need to understand. By the way, hurry and text your man to ask if Su Qing has any ex-girlfriends. I’ll send you the photos later!"

Lin Miaomiao: ???

A small head filled with big questions!
