Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan glanced at Shen Peichuan and asked, “Have you guys quarreled?”

Surprised by her question, Shen Peichuan replied, “No, we haven’t.”

Lin Xinyan was a little doubtful yet she refrained from further pursuing the matter. Given that Sang Yu was young and emotional, Lin Xinyan felt the need to remind him, “You are well aware of Sang Yu’s situation. Seeing as such, you have to be sure to cherish and protect her. Make her feel at home, and don’t ever leave her in the cold.”

Shen Peichuan shot her a smile as he assured her that he understood.

He loved Sang Yu in his own way, as he supported her too, in pursuing her studies. Hence, he didn’t stop her when she wanted to move to the dormitory, even going as far as to give her a lift to the dormitory.

Now that Lin Xinyan had reminded him of it, he began to ponder over their relationship. He couldn’t help but feel that something was subtly different between them. In the past, she liked to stay with me all the time. Nevertheless, she seems to be distancing herself from me now. Have I done something wrong?

He remembered that they didn’t quarrel at all before he left. Seeing that he had been rather busy lately, they didn’t even have time to communicate with each other, not to mention quarrel.

Did I overthink it? Perhaps Sang Yu isn’t pissed off at me at all?

“Hand the baby over to me.” Zhuang Zijin carried the kid from Lin Xinyan and continued, “He is supposed to take a nap now.”

Handing the kid over to her, Lin Xinyan took two glasses of water and placed one of them before Shen Peichuan. Then, she asked, “How long will your next trip be?”

“About a month,” Shen Peichuan replied.

She nodded in response. Upon taking a sip of the water, she asked again, “How many days will you stay here? When will you be leaving?”

“I was quite busy back then. But now, I am free for several days. I will be taking my leave on Tuesday. I should be able to complete the course when I return the next round,” Shen Peichuan explained.

“I understand that you’re busy. However, you still have to spend some time to accompany Sang Yu.” When Sang Yu visited their house, Lin Xinyan sensed that she was troubled with something. Although she kept smiling, she would easily be lost in thought whenever she didn’t speak.

Shen Peichuan nodded and affirmed, “I understand.”
