Chapter Three, but the young man's mind was shrouded in mist (03).

Yan Dongdong and Xiao Shenyu are both two years old. Yan joined the studio two years later. She has a lively and cheerful personality and loves gossip more than anyone else, but she keeps secrets and never talks about things she shouldn't. She is the company's stylist, specializing in bridal makeup and hair. Over the past two years, Shenyu and her have worked together seamlessly and also developed a friendship outside of work.

He admitted frankly, "…he said so." But then he quickly dispelled Yan Dongdong's intention to continue questioning with a few words: specifically, she didn't want to mention it.

Ge Yao got married right after graduation, marrying a wealthy man who was so uncultured that he didn't understand the finer things in life. He only knew to buy bags when he was angry and buy fur coats when they argued.

Lu Mingtong smiled and said, "Just kidding."

If it's you who persuades, he might listen.

She is unhappy because of the interference, which is not his intention.

The one who came is Lu Mingtong, wearing a navy blue short-sleeved T-shirt, which complements his age and skin tone. The shoulder line is straight, and the collar reveals distinct clavicles. With his height and figure, he looks good in anything.

Yan Dongdong didn't see the obvious distance exceeded movement of Lu Mingtong in the previous moment, and still made an excuse, "Xiaolu, can you help take these dishes to the restaurant? The kitchen is too small, and three people can't move around."

The friendship between Shen Yu and this old classmate has a long history, which cannot be explained in just a few words. Therefore, Shen Yu briefly introduced, "This is my undergraduate roommate."

Because it's her birthday, Shen Yu put extra effort into doing her makeup.

Shen Yu originally did not want to celebrate, but Yan Dongdong recently moved to a new place and decided to combine Shen Yu's birthday party with her housewarming party, right at her place.

Shen Yu helped out and together they brought over three servings of food. Yan Dongdong held her chopsticks with both hands and thanked Lu Mingtong by saying "thank you".

During a break in the conversation, Ge Yao took a sip of soda to moisten her throat. She noticed that Lu Mingtong, who was sitting next to her, was eating with a gloomy expression and a lack of appetite. She put down her chopsticks and turned her head to look at him, supporting her chin with her hand, and asked with a smile, "When are you returning to the country?"

It's not because I'm afraid of being hated by her. It's because I'm afraid of this time's Chen Jizhou. It's the person she truly wants to be with.

Today, Ge Yao has long red hair and red lips, dressed in branded clothes, looking very ostentatious. She carries a Hermès platinum bag on her back, but it is used to hold a gift for Shen Yu. It is a large item, making the bag bulging and full.

On the way back, Yan Dongdong looked at the tall figure of the young man in front of him and whispered in Shen Yu's ear, "To be honest, Lu Didi is much more handsome than Chen Jizhou."

It reminds him of those female movie stars in old Hong Kong films who were both charming and temperamental.

Lu Mingtong changed his shoes and entered the house. Shen Yu asked him to play by himself for a while and still went back to the kitchen to help.

Lu Mingtong looked up, not knowing what to say.

Yan Dongdong held back all the words in her belly.

When he came back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, grandpa advised him, but he didn't listen.

Shen Yu likes to eat matcha.

There aren't many people invited. On Shen Yu's side, there is Lu Mingtong and one of her college classmates named Ge Yao.

After finishing the meal, everyone spontaneously cleaned up their plates and prepared to light candles and cut the cake.

One hour, the two of them finished handling most of the ingredients.

After finishing the call, Shen Yu sat down on the chair. The dazzling night scene, even separated by a layer of glass, felt lively. She stared blankly, suddenly falling into melancholy.

Time flies, and it's already Shen Yu's birthday.

No one knows the exact relationship between Shen Yu and Lu Mingtong. Various speculations have been circulating, but finally, a unanimous conclusion was reached: they are distant cousins.

Shen Yu saw that Ge Yao intended to go up and catch up with Lu Mingtong, fearing that her bold personality might be shocking, he quickly took her wrist and led her to the dining table, "Let's eat first, let's eat first."

Although not everyone who comes knows each other, there are two social butterflies, Yan Dongdong and Ge Yao, who play matchmaker and ensure there is never a dull moment.

Having said that,Shen Yu interrupted him,"You are not allowed to ask about Lu Mingtong's affairs, nor are you allowed to ask about my past with him."

Well.

A short, white lantern-sleeved retro-style top with a waist tie, paired with a high-waisted British-style plaid trousers. Her hair is also styled, with the ends slightly curled and naturally fluffy. She rarely wears such a richly colored lipstick, a reddish-brown shade that complements her outfit well.

Between him and Shen Yu, it's not the thousands of mountains that separate them, but a thorn in the heart.

Ge Yao understood Lu Mingtong's thoughts with just a few words. However, since they met, Shen Yu, this neighbor's younger brother, has always been clear in his attitude and never avoided it. She has watched the play for a long time and has also assisted Lu Mingtong. Seeing that the situation is difficult to reverse, she still feels a bit regretful. Shen Yu, a seemingly unconventional person, is more principled than anyone else. Therefore, the saying "a virtuous woman is afraid of a persistent suitor" does not apply to her.

Luming Tong looked at her and said seriously, "If I want to break up Shen Yu and Chen Jizhou, would you help me, Sister Ge Yao?"

Shen Yu went through each room. It was a small two-bedroom apartment, spacious enough for one person. The furniture was all made of wood, following the current popular minimalist style. Shen Yu's parents are both high school teachers. They pooled their money to help her with the down payment and she is repaying the mortgage on her own.

Why should I persuade him? Shen Yu stood up from his chair, with an unpleasant expression, not wanting to continue this topic, "It's his own choice."

Lumintong fell silent for a moment, "... ... I don't know."

The kitchen area is so small... Shen Yu is very inconvenient to work in today's outfit. The hair is done in a one-time curl, and cannot be tied with a rubber band, otherwise it will leave a mark. In order to wash the fruit, she only tucked her hair behind her ears, but when she turned her head to talk to Lu Mingtong, her hair fell down.

When he sat down, Shen Yu deliberately avoided Lu Mingtong and sat between Yan Dongdong and Ge Yao, far away from them.

Lu Mingtong did not argue at all, accepting her evaluation, even listening to her words of praise.
