After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 25.1

Han Shuangshuang held Shen Yuru’s arm and walked downstairs cheerfully.

Right now, Han Shuangshuang’s heart and eyes were full of Shen Yuru. She did not notice anything else at all.

However, as Shen Yuru walked downstairs, her calm gaze landed on Shi Nianxue.

Shi Nianxue turned away instead, as though deliberately avoiding the two of them, hiding at the corner of the stairs without showing herself.

Han Shuangshuang clung to Shen Yuru, sticking close to her. “Sister Shen is so good. To me right now, Sister Shen is the only light. Sister Shen is the sky, Sister Shen is the earth, Sister Shen is my! Earth! God!”

Han Shuangshuang said the earthy love words with great excitement. “Sister, why don’t the two of us go back to school? There’s nothing worth staying here for.”

Shen Yuru did not respond to Han Shuangshuang, but she allowed Han Shuangshuang to pull her out of the Han family villa.

However, after they left other people’s gazes behind, Shen Yuru suddenly and gently brushed Han Shuangshuang’s hand away.

Looking at Shen Yuru, who had suddenly distanced herself from her, Han Shuangshuang felt a little lost.

Hadn’t everything been fine just now?

Why did she suddenly change her face again?

[System: Host, the system doesn’t know either. This belongs to normal emotional shifts among you humans. Humans are naturally fickle and heartless.]

Han Shuangshuang hurriedly spat three times in her heart.

Shen Yuru was already showing signs of getting better. She absolutely could not unconsciously add that kind of villain bug to Shen Yuru again.

Shen Yuru walked forward on her own, forcing herself not to turn back and look at Han Shuangshuang’s reaction.

She had already decided to slowly distance herself from Han Shuangshuang. She had to continue observing for a while longer. She needed to figure out Han Shuangshuang’s purpose in approaching her. She did not want to be deceived again. She did not want to enter another lie.

So she had to harden her heart. She had to draw a line between herself and Han Shuangshuang.

Han Shuangshuang stood in place, stunned for a while. Seeing Shen Yuru getting farther and farther away from her, she hurriedly jogged after her.

However, just as she was only a few steps away from Shen Yuru, Shen Yuru suddenly began jogging too.

Han Shuangshuang sped up and ran, and Shen Yuru also sped up and ran. Han Shuangshuang ran for a while until she was panting, then slowed down and walked for a bit. Shen Yuru also began walking slowly. The two of them tacitly maintained a certain distance, and Han Shuangshuang simply could not catch Shen Yuru.

“Shen Yuru, what are you running for? I’m not some jackal, wolf, tiger, or leopard. Weren’t things fine in the villa just now?”

Han Shuangshuang was truly angered.

“Shen! Yu! Ru!”

Han Shuangshuang refused to believe it. Shen Yuru had a bad heart, and her body was so delicate and weak. How could Han Shuangshuang not outrun her?

But she had really underestimated Shen Yuru’s stubbornness.

The two of them forcefully ran five kilometers, all the way from the Han family villa back to school.

Han Shuangshuang felt that Shen Yuru did not need her to heal her at all.

Normal people could not even run five kilometers, yet Shen Yuru’s body was shockingly sturdy.

[System: Host, under certain circumstances, people can stimulate their physical potential.]

Han Shuangshuang leaned against the stone pillar beside the school gate, gasping for breath as she looked at Shen Yuru in front of her. Although Shen Yuru’s body was trembling slightly, she still maintained her image and did not pant heavily without regard for her appearance the way Han Shuangshuang did.

Han Shuangshuang said, “What exactly… exactly did I do wrong? Just say it. Why are you hiding from me?”

Only then did Shen Yuru slowly turn around and look down at Han Shuangshuang, who was bent over and panting.

Because the two of them had chased and run the whole way, Shen Yuru’s breathing was also slightly hurried at this moment, and red had appeared on her face. The corners of those phoenix eyes were now flushed, and a few physiological tears had welled up in them. In short, they were glittering brightly, without the gloom of the past.

Shen Yuru said coldly, “Don’t keep pestering me anymore. Today counts as me repaying your favor. After this, we will have nothing to do with each other.”

Han Shuangshuang said, “Huh?”

Sure enough, villains could not be spoiled. Once spoiled, they started developing problems. What kind of fit was this now?

While panting heavily, Han Shuangshuang asked urgently, “Weren’t things fine just now? What exactly happened? Tell me. If there’s a problem, we can solve it together. Why are you suddenly cutting ties again? Are my feelings really that worthless? Is my affection really that unimportant?”

After hearing Han Shuangshuang’s questions, Shen Yuru’s slightly cool lips moved. But in the end, she still did not speak. She only turned her face aside somewhat stiffly, no longer looking at Han Shuangshuang’s anxious expression.

Han Shuangshuang felt her jaw clench, and her fists hardened.

Since soft methods would not work, then she would use hard ones.

Han Shuangshuang straightened up, took a huge breath, then pounced toward Shen Yuru.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuru, who had just run five kilometers with her, was still agile. Wherever Han Shuangshuang pounced, Shen Yuru could dodge nimbly. At this moment, Shen Yuru was like a roly-poly toy, her body flexibly tilting in all directions.

Han Shuangshuang rolled up her sleeves. “Today, I refuse to believe this evil.”

Shen Yuru was like she was dancing ballet, graceful and elegant, her body so soft it was unreasonable. Although she did not move much from where she stood, Han Shuangshuang simply could not catch her.

Han Shuangshuang’s stamina truly could not hold up. She crouched on the ground, panting. “Why is my life so bitter? Forget that the person I like doesn’t like me—she even refuses physical contact. I might as well not live. Father doesn’t love me, Mother doesn’t care, and my stepmother only feeds me pickled vegetables. I even have to take care of the brain-damaged little sister my stepmother gave birth to.”

Han Shuangshuang spoke with passion and power. Her tone rose and fell, as though it were truly real, full of emotion.

Shen Yuru’s brow twitched. Seeing people gathering around them, she had no choice but to step forward and reach out, wanting to pull Han Shuangshuang up.

But Han Shuangshuang directly sat down on the ground and, imitating Shen Yuru’s earlier manner, turned her head aside and stopped looking at Shen Yuru. She even ignored the hand Shen Yuru extended toward her.

“After hitting someone with a stick, you still want to give them a sweet date, right? I don’t care about those few pitiful dates. My life is really so bitter! Other people’s five elements belong to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but mine belongs to simp dog! And in the end, she doesn’t care at all! Why am I so miserable?”

Now, not only was Shen Yuru’s brow twitching, even her temples were throbbing, because more and more people were gathering to watch the show and starting to discuss it noisily.

Shen Yuru disliked this kind of environment, being trapped under other people’s strange gazes.

So a few words squeezed out from between her teeth. “Han Shuangshuang, get up right now.”

Han Shuangshuang was almost ready to lie on the ground and start rolling around like a scoundrel. “No, no, I won’t! I just won’t.”

Shen Yuru did not know where the strength came from. She suddenly bent down, slipped both hands under Han Shuangshuang’s armpits, and lifted hard, instantly picking Han Shuangshuang up from the ground.

Han Shuangshuang clearly had not expected Shen Yuru to have kept this move hidden either. She froze too, and the two of them stared blankly at each other with four eyes.

Shen Yuru’s face was somewhat red, partly from the exercise after running the whole way just now, and partly from shame and anger at being stared at by others. “Han Shuangshuang, you like me that much? Even if it’s this embarrassing, you’re not afraid?”

Han Shuangshuang nodded, extremely firmly. “I just like you! Is liking someone wrong? Is there a problem with boldly speaking my love? Does being deeply devoted mean I have to be treated like a simp? Do simps deserve to be mocked?”

Shen Yuru’s beautiful phoenix eyes gazed at Han Shuangshuang, and she bit her teeth somewhat unwillingly. “Fine! You just wait.”

As if she had no way to deal with Han Shuangshuang, Shen Yuru could only grab Han Shuangshuang’s wrist and quickly leave the school gate.

Han Shuangshuang was dragged along by Shen Yuru unwillingly and directly reversed the guest and host roles. “I don’t care. If Sister Shen doesn’t give me a reasonable explanation today, I won’t forgive you. Not even if you kiss me once!”

Shen Yuru felt three black lines appear over her head. Growing up this far, it was the first time she had understood what speechlessness felt like.

This Han Shuangshuang really knew how to turn black into white. Why had she never noticed before that Han Shuangshuang’s mouth was this capable?

In just a few sentences, she could completely reverse the nature of the whole matter.

Clearly, Shen Yuru still had not figured out Han Shuangshuang’s purpose in approaching her. Han Shuangshuang was still playing dumb, not taking the initiative to confess to her. Fine, that was one thing, but she even kept changing methods to accuse Shen Yuru and making trouble with her in front of so many people.

“Han! Shuang! Shuang!” Shen Yuru could no longer remember how many times she had gnashed her teeth from the beginning until now.

She discovered that after meeting Han Shuangshuang, her emotions had become noticeably much harder to control.

Before, no matter what state she was in, she could conceal it very well and keep others from seeing through her.

But now, in front of Han Shuangshuang, she would lose control when angry and be unable to hide it when happy.

“What exactly do you want?” Shen Yuru released Han Shuangshuang’s hand and turned around. Those eyes rarely widened roundly as she looked at Han Shuangshuang. “I’ll only ask you once. What is your purpose in approaching me?”

After Han Shuangshuang froze for a few seconds, her mouth opened wide into an O shape, but she could only make one tone. “Huh? Huh? Huh!?”

Han Shuangshuang’s expression suddenly changed. Her gaze filled with solemnity. She took a few steps to Shen Yuru, stood eye to eye with her, lifted her hands, and covered Shen Yuru’s ears with her palms. Then she kissed Shen Yuru’s forehead with one smack, extremely hard, so hard that Shen Yuru’s beautiful features scrunched together.

Shen Yuru did not understand what Han Shuangshuang’s action was for. She could only grab Han Shuangshuang’s wrist with her hand, but Han Shuangshuang had used all her strength at this moment and did not allow Shen Yuru to refuse at all.

Han Shuangshuang kissed Shen Yuru’s forehead until she left a red mark there.

Shen Yuru was also greatly angered. At this moment, the way she panted was even stronger than after running five kilometers just now. “Han Shuangshuang, what are you doing?”

Han Shuangshuang crossed her arms with a face full of defiance. “Sister Shen kissed my forehead before. Did you give me your brain too? Is that why you asked such a brainless question? Now I kissed you back to return your brain to Sister Shen!”

Two large words instantly appeared in Shen Yuru’s mind: absurd.

“Did you hear what I said clearly or not?”

Han Shuangshuang widened those puppy eyes roundly, snorted through her nose, then lifted her head and looked at Shen Yuru threateningly.

That expression seemed to say that if Shen Yuru’s brain had not been returned yet, Han Shuangshuang would kiss her again.

Shen Yuru felt all the words she had left become blocked in her throat. Her throat paused, then swallowed them down. Afterward, she blinked, exhaled, and relaxed. “Since you don’t want to say it, then I won’t ask.”

“When did I say I didn’t want to say it? I’ve already said it many times. I like Sister Shen, so that’s why I follow behind your butt. If I didn’t like you, why would I follow you?”

Shen Yuru suddenly covered her ears and shook her head, taking on the posture of I’m not listening, I’m not listening.

But Han Shuangshuang just had to recite sutras beside Shen Yuru’s ear.

When Yan Huan found Han Shuangshuang, what she saw was precisely this scene.

At this moment, Han Shuangshuang had stretched her neck out very long and was murmuring something beside Shen Yuru’s ear. Meanwhile, Shen Yuru covered her ears, as if she had raised an invisible golden bell shield to block out all of Han Shuangshuang’s noise.

But hadn’t these two been one flattering and the other rejecting each other before? How had they developed such tacit understanding after only a few days apart? This was clearly one person making trouble and the other indulging her.

For someone with Shen Yuru’s cold temperament to actually do something so image-damaging with Han Shuangshuang in public truly surprised Yan Huan.

Perhaps people who did not know Shen Yuru would think this kind of interaction was a sweet moment between a young couple, but only Yan Huan knew just how absurd the current scene was.

It was so absurd that Yan Huan directly took out her phone and began snapping photos.

Unfortunately, Yan Huan’s camera was not muted. When she took a photo, it made a click, and both Han Shuangshuang and Shen Yuru heard it.

Han Shuangshuang could only straighten up and look toward the somewhat embarrassed Yan Huan.

Shen Yuru lowered her hands, her face recovering its cold expression. She made a fist and placed it beneath her lips, coughing a few times. Then she turned away to adjust her emotions. When she turned back around, she was once again that cold, distant person whom others did not dare approach easily.

Yan Huan put away her phone and rubbed her nose. From an angle Shen Yuru could not see, she secretly gave Han Shuangshuang a thumbs-up.

As expected of her sis. Truly capable. She could even get a high岭 flower like Shen Yuru so easily.

Han Shuangshuang was huffing angrily. When she had been talking just now, she had not even stopped to breathe. Only now did she realize she was already lacking oxygen to this extent and hurriedly breathed in air.

Han Shuangshuang looked at Yan Huan and said, “Why did you come looking for me? Did something happen?”

Yan Huan wrapped an arm around Han Shuangshuang’s shoulder and said, “Didn’t I have something to do today and couldn’t go to the Han family? It’s because Yun Yun’s cooking competition is this afternoon!”

Han Shuangshuang made an “ah” sound. “That soon? The flyer didn’t say that.”

Yan Huan said, “It seems like it was suddenly moved forward. They said the prize has already been shipped back, and if it collects dust, it won’t look good.”

Han Shuangshuang suddenly became somewhat curious. “What kind of prize is it? It’s that important, enough to move the competition forward?”

Yan Huan rubbed her chin and recalled, “It seems to be an expensive dress. You know how those people who make Western food are super confident in themselves. Their eyes are higher than the top of their heads. They like that kind of expensive dress. They think they’re definitely winning this competition, so they directly requested to move it forward because they want to get the dress as soon as possible.”
