Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I really wanted to teach Millie a lesson. I wanted to teach her a lesson with my strong martial prowess, to tell her that there’s always someone better than her and that she shouldn’t be so reckless when doing things, but… Who told me that I wasn’t Millie’s match at that time? I was beaten down by Millie in just two moves.”
Shen Nan’s final voice was very soft. When he thought of this, he felt a little embarrassed. At that time, his mother had scolded him for a long period of time. After he had studied hard for a period of time, he would look for Millie to fight again. Who knew that he was still no match for Emily? In the end, he gave up.
“I just feel that it’s strange. We clearly studied together. Why is she so much better than me?”
Shen Nan scratched his head. At that time, he had thought about it for a few days. Later, he simply gave up on it. After all, he was no match for Emily no matter how he thought about it.
After listening to Shen Nan, Shen Yu laughed out loud. He did not look like a cold prince charming at all. It turned out that during his absence, Emily’s life was so colorful. He knew where they were going later.
“No, Fifth Brother, what are you laughing at?” Shen Nan was even more confused. Was Shen Yu laughing at him, or was he laughing at Emily’s recklessness?
He felt that Shen Yu would definitely not be willing to laugh at Emily, so he was the only candidate. Thinking of this, Shen Nan felt even angrier. What should he do?
Shen Yu stopped smiling and shook his head. “It’s nothing. I just feel that during the time I was away, Emi’s life was quite rich,” Shen Yu said.
“It was during the time when you just left that Millie was lost for a very long time. After that, everyone subconsciously did not mention you in front of Millie. Millie did not say it herself. She was still a happy person in front of everyone, but everyone knew in their hearts. She often went into a daze alone. Oh right, Fifth Brother, didn’t you leave a note for Millie before you left?”
“How did you know about the note?” Shen Yu was shocked. When he left, he was afraid that he would not want to leave after seeing Emily, so he asked Shen Yan to arrange for it to be during midnight. He was also afraid that Emily would be worried, so, he left a note for her.
Shen Nan smiled wickedly. The corners of his eyes twitched. “Emily still has that note. She even asked someone to seal it.”
Shen Yu frowned. He was happy, but his heart ached when he heard about Emily’s behavior. He had to admit that Emily was a fool. She could have taken the initiative to ask for his contact information, but she did not say anything.
Shen Yu blamed himself even more. He should not have been so heartless as to not have any contact with Emily at all. He even made Emily wait for him for so many years without any news. Shen Yu deserved to die.
“Fifth Brother, don’t say that I told you. No one in the family knows. It was Qi Yan who told me this in secret.”
Shen Nan suddenly thought of the time when Qi Yan let the cat out of the bag. He felt it was a little funny. In order not to betray Qi Yan, he had no choice but to remind Shen Yu.
Shen Yu nodded, but his face was full of worry. “Xiao Nan, I owe Emi so much. How should I pay it back?” Shen Yu asked.
Shen Nan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted to Shen Yu’s question. “Fifth Brother, actually, it’s good to follow your heart. Millie actually knew that you left back then, and Millie also agreed to it. She just couldn’t bear to bear it in her heart. Knowing that you came back, she was extremely excited. This means that Millie actually doesn’t care that you’ve been gone for so many years, and even more so, she doesn’t care that you haven’t contacted her for so many years.”
Shen Nan sighed deeply. Shen Nan continued, “We should look back and not limit ourselves to our original memories. This is unfair to both of you. If you really feel that you’ve let her down in the past, just do your best to make up for it. Actually, it’s already very, very good for Millie that you’re back.”
In Shen Nan’s opinion, it was also good to make Shen Yu feel a little guilty. At least, he knew that Emily had waited for him silently for so many years so that he could treat Emily better in the future.
“So, you know that my feelings for Emi are not that of a brother and a sister?” Shen Yu was a little shocked. He had never expressed his feelings to anyone before. Shen Nan had always been a good friend to him. Why did it seem like everyone around him treated the two of them as a couple after coming back? No one refuted him.
“That’s right. Everyone knows about it. Even Grandpa and Grandma don’t think it’s a big deal.” Shen Nan did not think much of it. After he finished speaking, he subconsciously felt that he had said something extraordinary. He hurriedly covered his mouth.
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes. There was a strong sense of threat in them. It was as if he was saying, ‘Shen Nan, if you don’t give me a proper explanation, you can try me.’
“Fifth Brother…” Shen Nan regretfully patted his mouth, then glanced at Shen Yu. He carefully said, “Actually, it’s nothing. You know that Millie is already a professional Go 9-dan player at such a young age, and Grandpa Liu likes Millie very much.. He often wants to lure Millie back home. How could Grandpa give Grandpa Liu this opportunity?”
