[Lucky Little Shu]: Brother-in-law, would it be convenient for you to come out? I want to talk to you in person.
Ding Heng: Now?
[Lucky Little Lady]: Hmm... If you're busy, then forget it, pretend I didn't say anything.
Ding Heng glanced back at the master bedroom, which was quiet inside.
Given the intensity he just exerted, the two girls will probably sleep soundly until dawn...
[Ding Heng]: Okay, send me your location.
【Lucky Little Lady】: [Location]
【Lucky Little Shu】: [Cute little bunny.jpg]
Ding Heng quietly changed his clothes, picked up his car keys, and gently closed the door.
Twenty minutes later, Ding Heng arrived at a snack street.
Wen Shu stood under the streetlight, her long hair loose and her face bare.
Ding Heng opened the car door, got out, and stepped forward to ask, "Want some barbecue?"
"Row."
Wen Shu nodded in agreement and accompanied Ding Heng into the store to sit down.
The owner handed over the menu, which Ding Heng casually pushed to Wen Shu.
"You order."
Wen Shu didn't stand on ceremony and took the book to read out the menu.
"Lamb skewers, beef skewers, chicken wings, grilled eggplant, grilled chives... and a side of cucumber salad, too. And brother-in-law, what would you like to drink?"
"Give me a bottle of Niulanshan liquor."
"A bottle of Niulanshan liquor."
Wen Shu turned to the shopkeeper: "Another bottle of fruit wine, the kind with low alcohol content and a bit sweet."
"okay."
The boss turned and left, and Wen Shu faced Ding Heng directly.
Ding Heng jokingly asked, "Can you really drink?"
"It's alright..."
"Don't get so drunk you're unconscious like last time?"
"Wasn't that...an accident?"
Half an hour later, barbecue, baijiu (Chinese liquor), and fruit wine were served together.
Ding Heng opened the Niulanshan liquor bottle and poured himself a glass, then opened the fruit wine for Wen Shu and poured her a small half-glass.
Don't force yourself if you can't drink it.
"know."
Wen Shu picked up the cup and took a small sip.
Ding Heng picked up a skewer of mutton and chewed it slowly.
"Tell me, why are you avoiding your sister?"
Wen Shu put down her cup and sighed.
"I didn't avoid her... it's just that I didn't know how to face her."
"What do you mean?"
"that is……"
Wen Shu said cautiously, "Brother-in-law, I know my sister means well. But I have to grow up eventually, right? I can't hide under her wing forever."
"That's it?"
"Um……"
Wen Shu picked up the fruit wine and drank most of it this time.
Ding Heng continued, "Anything else?"
"What else?"
"Your sister said you reply to messages slowly, and that you say you're busy after just a few words. Surely that's not the case... Your sister isn't an outsider, it shouldn't be hard for you to reply to her messages properly, right?"
Wen Shu remained silent for a long time. In the end, she did not answer directly, but tried to change the subject.
"Brother-in-law."
"Ah."
"I want to tell you something."
"explain."
"Could I... contact you less often in the future?"
"why?"
Ding Heng put down his chopsticks and looked at her, puzzled.
Wen Shu didn't dare to look Ding Heng in the eye.
"It's just that...you keep coming to see me, and when my classmates see you, they always ask me who you are. I say you're my brother-in-law, and then they ask why my brother-in-law keeps coming to see you. I can't explain it clearly, and they still misunderstand, so I just...stop contacting you."
"Male classmate?"
"Forehead……"
Wen Shu quickly explained, "No, no... I don't want any male or female classmates to misunderstand."
What's the misunderstanding?
"It's a misunderstanding...it's just a misunderstanding."
Wen Shu came up with an excuse she had prepared in advance: "I want to study hard now and don't want to be distracted by anything else. When I've learned something, I'll work for you, brother-in-law, and help Sister Man share the burden. That would be a way of repaying you for the help you've given me."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the fruit wine and drank it all in one gulp. Her words were sincere and pleasant to hear, and Ding Heng couldn't find any fault with them.
"Row."
Ding Heng answered decisively.
But Wen Shu's heart felt as if something was gently twisting it.
She thought Ding Heng would at least ask a couple of questions, or say something more.
But he agreed so readily, as if it were insignificant.
The next second, Ding Heng's phone suddenly rang.
Wen Shu glanced at the screen instinctively, her heart leaping into her throat.
It's Wenjing! Is she checking up on me?
Ding Heng pressed the answer button, but didn't turn on speakerphone. However, the barbecue restaurant was quiet, and Wen Shu could still hear the voice coming from the receiver.
"Ding Heng, where are you?"
Wenjing had just woken up, and her voice was adorably sleepy.
Ding Heng said bluntly, "I'm out having a late-night snack with Xiao Shu."
"Xiao Shu?"
"Ah."
What does she want from you?
"Let's talk about our future academic plans and development."
"Oh……"
Wenjing said with concern, "Then come back early, don't let Xiaoshu stay up too late, she has to go to class tomorrow."
"know."
"Then I'll go back to sleep."
"OK, good night."
"Good night."
The phone hangs up.
Ding Heng put his phone back on the table and looked at Wen Shu again.
"Would you like some more barbecue?"
Wen Shu stared blankly, her mind still replaying the conversation between Wen Jing and Ding Heng.
"Xiao Shu?"
Ding Heng shouted again.
Wen Shu snapped out of her daze: "Huh?"
"Would you like some more barbecue?"
"Oh……"
Wen Shu glanced at the half-empty bottle of Niulanshan liquor next to Ding Heng and suggested, "Let me finish it with you, brother-in-law."
"Row."
Ding Heng waved his hand: "Boss, add more dishes."
Wen Shu continued to fall into deep thought...
When Ding Heng answered the phone, his tone was so natural, open, and frank that he didn't even need to agree with her on the same story.
Because in his mind, that's the truth.
His sister-in-law talked to him about future plans, that was all.
