But Xie Siyan did nothing. He slowly tidied up the things he had left outside, turned off the light, and then crawled into the tent like him.
"Asleep?" Xie Siyan's voice came from behind.
Yan Shenyu closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Then Xie Siyan stopped talking. He heard the sound of typing on a keyboard and turned on his computer to start working again.
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Xie Siyan, you'll never find a partner if you keep going like this.
Yan Shenyu hadn't planned to go to bed so early, but as he lay there, drowsiness gradually crept in. In his hazy state, the sound of the keyboard faded away, and he vaguely heard Xie Siyan's deep voice.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you, I just thought you were cute."
Even if a cow licks your ass, I'll still like you very much.
"Good night."
Wait, Xie Siyan just said she liked him?
Is "like"... the kind of "like" he understands?!
Upon hearing this, Yan Shenyu was instantly filled with excitement, and all her drowsiness vanished.
He hadn't expected Xie Siyan to confess at this time. Should he say yes? Or should he give it another shot?
Fine, I'll just agree to it.
With Xie Siyan's incredibly low emotional intelligence, if he doesn't agree, he'll probably never find a wife in his entire life.
"Me too..." Yan Shenyu whispered as she lay in her sleeping bag, "I like you too."
Yan Shenyu's heart raced as she awaited Xie Siyan's next reaction.
Given Xie Siyan's repressed nature, he wouldn't sneak over and kiss him, would he...? What if things went wrong in the middle of nowhere?
Yan Shenyu opened her eyes wide in the darkness, imagining with anticipation.
But he waited and waited, until the cattle outside had been exchanged twice, but he still didn't get any response from Xie Siyan.
Didn't you hear me?
Although his voice wasn't loud, it shouldn't be unintelligible, right?
Yan Shenyu unzipped his pants and saw that everything was quiet. Xie Siyan was sleeping next to him with his eyes closed and a faint smile on his face. He called out to him twice, but there was no response.
Yan Shenyu: ?
She's asleep?!
Who falls asleep halfway through confessing their feelings? Do you even know how to be like that?!
Having wasted all her enthusiasm, Yan Shenyu was both angry and annoyed, and didn't say a single word to Xie Siyan on the way back.
Xie Siyan was completely oblivious to what was amiss. Sitting in the driver's seat, he looked at Yan Shenyu's flushed cheeks and thought: He's so shy. He's still blushing after being teased by Niu last night. If he were to tease Yan Shenyu, would he also…?
"Let's go out and have fun again next time we have the chance." Xie Siyan waved to Yan Shenyu as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class stopped in front of the Yan family's house.
Yan Shenyu gave a perfunctory reply and entered the room with his backpack on, looking indifferent.
Xie Siyan didn't notice his coldness and assumed it was just shyness.
"How was the camping trip?" Yan Sheng asked as soon as Yan Shenyu returned home.
“Not good,” Yan Shenyu said coldly, his face tense. “It’s absolutely terrible.”
Yan Sheng tilted her head in confusion. Had she quarreled with Xie Siyan?
But how did he just receive a message from Fu Jingran saying that Xie Siyan is about to start dating his younger brother?
...
Yan Shen ignored Xie Siyan for three whole days.
Although he knew it wasn't Xie Siyan's fault, he mistakenly thought the other party was confessing to him and accepted the confession. But when he came to his senses, he realized that the other party hadn't actually confessed. It was really embarrassing!
Especially since he had the audacity to hope that something might happen there; he was incredibly stupid to have such expectations...
Next, Xie Siyan discovered that every message he sent was blocked.
I know a good restaurant, want to try it?
I'm not going.
[Xiang Yu is back in China and invited me to go marathon. Are you coming? And maybe see Xiao Bai while you're at it.]
[I'm not coming.]
Fu Jingran has organized a card game, and Yan Sheng is also there. Are you interested?
Not interested.
"Didn't you say you'd be dating soon?" Fu Jingran mocked mercilessly. "Why can't you get anyone to come over now?"
Xie Siyan: "..."
“If they don’t listen, just change them.” Fu Da played a card, his expression calm and composed.
Fu Jingran: "If he could be replaced, would things be like this now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Siyan stood up.
"I'm leaving now," he said, already at the door.
"Not playing cards anymore?" Fu Jingran asked in surprise. "How are we supposed to continue if you leave? We're one short for the three of us."
"Just find anyone to replace me, and if we lose, it's on me."
Xie Siyan turned and left without looking back. He hadn't come to play cards in the first place; he had only come to find an excuse to meet Yan Shenyu.
He just didn't understand why Yan Shenyu, who was fine when they were camping, had suddenly become cold towards him recently.
Yan Shenyu did not take the initiative to contact Xie Siyan, and after being rejected by him multiple times, Xie Siyan stopped inviting him out.
The two entered a state of awkward silence, where "if you don't contact me, then I won't contact you either."
A day later, Yan Shenyu saw a post on her WeChat Moments from Xie Siyan.
We've developed a game and are looking for players to try it out. (Link)
In the few months since we met, Xie Siyan has only posted a handful of updates on WeChat Moments. He only posted about the equestrian competition and last weekend when they went camping.
They actually released a game demo this time?
Yan Shenyu glanced at it but didn't click on it.
Surprisingly, when Yan Shenyu refreshed her WeChat Moments again that night, Xie Siyan posted the exact same update.
Yan Shenyu clicked in and was surprised to find that Xie Siyan posted every two hours, with different captions each time, just like a corporate slave being forced to share work content by the company.
Yan Shenyu still didn't click on it, until the next day when he saw the exact same post on his WeChat Moments.
Xie Siyan refreshed this link for two whole days.
Even hackers don't know how to post.
What game could be so important that it made a CEO like him spend two days collecting players for trial play?
Upon seeing the link again, Yan Shenyu, who was nearly driven to despair by Fan, couldn't resist clicking on it.
The loading speed was very fast, and then a small white animal popped up on the screen. It was soft and cute, and seemed to be a little white rabbit.
At the same time, a line of text appeared on the screen: "A long, long time ago, there lived a polar bear in the forest."
Wait, why would a polar bear live in a forest? Doesn't it live in the Arctic?
"This polar bear is smart, handsome and hardworking, and quickly built itself a home."
At this moment, the background scene changed to the polar bear's home. Yan Shenyu controlled the little white rabbit to move around, and it could realistically go to every place, and even pick up items inside.
But why did he feel that the polar bear's home looked somewhat familiar?
"The polar bear put a lot of effort into this home, but after it succeeded, it discovered that all the other animals around it had found partners, leaving it all alone. The other animals advised it to find a mate, but the polar bear didn't feel lonely because it wanted to build more houses and make more interesting things."
"And so a long time passed, long enough that the polar bear created a polar bear town, long enough that no one dared to persuade it to find another polar bear, long enough that it felt it would live like this for the rest of its life."
"But one day he met a little rabbit. The little rabbit had big eyes, soft fur, and a fun-loving personality; the whole rabbit was incredibly cute. The polar bear liked it very much, and soon they were playing together."
"They helped other small animals together, beat up bad animals together, rode horses together, and went to the mountains to see the stars together... They experienced many interesting things together."
The changing scenes depict the various past experiences of the polar bear and the little rabbit.
Upon seeing this, Yan Shenyu finally understood who the characters in the story represented.
What gives Xie Siyan the right to turn him into a little white rabbit?
Despite her complaints, Yan Shenyu still tapped the screen to continue turning the page.
One day, the polar bear heard that the little rabbit wanted to move out of its burrow. The polar bear was overjoyed and couldn't wait to invite the little rabbit to live with it. But it didn't dare to say it out loud, because it was a polar bear, the largest land carnivore, and the little rabbit would be frightened by its enthusiasm if it lived with it.
So the polar bear invited the little rabbit in under a different guise, but the clever little rabbit saw through his disguise. The little rabbit angrily appeared in front of him and said that he didn't want to live with him.
"The polar bear wanted to give its house to the little rabbit, but the little rabbit refused to accept it and even scolded it."
"The polar bear knew it had upset the little rabbit, but all it wanted was to stay with the little rabbit forever."
The painting depicts a dejected polar bear, so lifelike that Yan Shenyu could imagine Xie Siyan's feelings when he was rejected.
Dear little rabbit, would you like to give a hug to the sad polar bear?
An option box suddenly popped up on the screen.
Left side: [I do];
Right side: [With great pleasure];
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Yan Shenyu did not click for more than 10 seconds, and another option box popped up on the screen;
[The little rabbit chose the default setting]
Yan Shenyu: "..."
The next moment, the little rabbit on the screen took a step forward and hugged the heartbroken polar bear. Because of their huge size difference, the polar bear crouched down and carefully cradled the little rabbit in its arms.
The little rabbit gave the polar bear a loving hug, and now they're happily together again!
