Shu Yu looked at her gloomily for a long time, then suddenly asked her, "If it were truly as you say, and I started exercising on my own, would you still drag me out like today? No, because I would already be taking action myself, so you wouldn’t need to drag me around, nor would you have to painstakingly advise me like you are now." Dong Huiying was bewildered, "Huh???" What does he mean by this? She realized she couldn’t quite follow his train of thought. Staring at him for a while, she finally had a moment of realization. According to his meaning, could it be that he’s trying to tell her that the reason he acts this way is to increase their intimacy, so she might treat him a bit better? Pushing and pulling him, with some physical contact. And those long-winded "words of advice" that are as irritating as stinky long foot bindings from old ladies... At the very least, her nagging shows that she puts thought into him? She seemed to have grasped something, her face instantly flushed bright red. This... is practically a confession. Even if roundabout, his feelings are genuine. He’s behaving this way because he cares, cares about her attitude. She cast a doubtful glance at him again. She always thought this second master was the least likely to be moved by emotions, he’s always picking on her, sometimes sarcastically mocking her intelligence, calling her stupid, as if he were the only smart person in the world. When did this happen? When did he start having feelings for her? Before understanding his confession, she was quite at ease with him. But now, she was feeling a bit uneasy, not quite sure how to describe her feelings—it’s as if the person in front of her isn’t the familiar one she knew, but a completely alien presence that makes her somewhat apprehensive. Shu Yu rolled his eyes, and snorted disdainfully, "Idiot!" Then he turned his head away, not wanting to look at her anymore, afraid he might be infuriated by her. That’s just how she is, especially when it comes to relationship matters, always so slow, always realizing things too late. If he doesn’t take the initiative and move forward, she would remain stagnant. He thought of Shujun again, whose passionate nature in love was truly charming. Because Shujun is good at taking the initiative, while Lao Si and Little Wu, due to their personalities, are too conservative, resulting in their emotional roads being somewhat rocky. As for Little Liu, Yixuan? That’s a foolish kid, also the one in the family who most easily gets stuck in a rut, full of little scheming thoughts, sometimes even he can’t quite understand what Yixuan is thinking, so it’s better not to mention them. Shu Yu looked towards his elder brother sitting there, secretly thinking to himself that his brother must have had a stroke of luck? Back then when Shujun disappeared, the wife and elder brother thought Shujun was dead, keeping it a secret from the family, carrying a heavy mutual secret, and their feelings blossomed from adversity. But Shu Yu thought, if it were someone else with the wife enduring the secret back then, it could have made that person a special presence in the wife’s heart due to the circumstances. Time and fate, some things now can only be lamented. Dong Huiying touched her cheek, feeling it warm. A person being confessed to, regardless of whether she likes the other, once understanding the other’s feelings, is always unsettled at heart; her attention inevitably lingers more on the other.
