Chapter 1007: He Grew Up, Yet Remains the Boy in My Memories (7)
The driver brought Su Weiyi’s belongings inside, carrying them upstairs. Although Su Weiyi lowered her eyelids, she still felt Sheng Yanxiao’s gaze on her. She could sense that his gaze was quite calm, without the slightest ripple or warmth, yet it felt like her heart was being roasted on fire, unbearably painful.
"I’ll go up and tidy up first."
Su Weiyi almost fled upstairs, closing the room door, leaning her whole body against the door panel, and taking two deep breaths.
In three years, he has grown up, and she has grown up too.
But three years ago, they didn’t seem like siblings. Now, they even more don’t look like that.
Sheng Yanxiao has already developed the ruggedness of a man, fundamentally different from the slender bones of his youth, whereas she, apart from being skinnier and having longer hair, remains the same without significant change.
More importantly, his gaze has become even more obscure and hard to read. Su Weiyi thought she had matured, and was prepared to face Sheng Yanxiao upon returning. Yet, at the moment they truly met, at the moment their eyes met, all her preparation fell apart.
Su Weiyi’s belongings actually didn’t need special tidying. She didn’t plan to stay in the villa; the studio near Si Xia was already taking shape, and she intended to rent an apartment nearby.
So, she would have to move things later, and now there’s no need to tidy up too much.
Yet Su Weiyi lingered in the room for a while, gathering her emotions, before preparing to open the door to leave.
However, just as she opened the door, she froze.
Sheng Yanxiao was standing at the door, one hand still raised in mid-air, seemingly ready to knock.
Faced with her, Su Weiyi’s heart, which had finally settled down, suddenly lifted again.
In contrast to her, Sheng Yanxiao appeared especially calm. He glanced at Su Weiyi indifferently and then spoke: "Dinner is ready."
His voice compared to three years ago was slightly deeper, yet more magnetic, the sort that online people say could make ears pregnant.
Su Weiyi awkwardly lowered her eyelids: "Mm."
When she looked up again, Sheng Yanxiao had already turned and walked to the staircase, his movements natural and fluid, while compared to her awkwardness, he seemed completely unaffected.
The meal was no different; after being away from home for so long, everyone at the table revolved almost entirely around her, not only the Sheng Family and Si Nian but also Zhou Chengze and the Qi Cheng couple, along with their children.
Seeing Zhou Chengchen again, Su Weiyi couldn’t avoid recalling past events, yet Zhou Chengchen seemed to have forgotten those matters, still sweetly calling her "Sister Su."
Everything in Su Weiyi’s eyes seemed unchanged, but at the same time, everything seemed to have transformed.
Upon learning that Su Weiyi intended to rent a place near the studio, Mr. Sheng was displeased. Joking, how could his precious gem live in a rental?
He immediately bought a fully furnished apartment in her name in a nearby upscale community.
Because it was fully furnished, she could move in directly, so after staying at the villa for a week, Su Weiyi moved in, taking another three days to make the apartment cozy and homelike.
During this period, she didn’t see Sheng Yanxiao again; it seemed his presence in the villa that day was just because she had returned, and he had been ordered back.
As for the past, no one brought it up, and Sheng Yanxiao looked at her as if she was a stranger.
