After listening to the Snow Empress's words, Shen Han Yu was unusually at a loss.
After a moment of silence, Shen Han Yu said softly:
"Xue'er, can you tell me the specific situation…?"
The Snow Empress let out a light hum, then said:
"What's there to say? Do you really want this old lady to properly praise your emotional intelligence that's been getting closer and closer to transparent over these past two years…?"
Shen Han Yu rubbed his brow, then said:
"Xue'er, that's not what I meant. It's just that… this matter, I really…"
The Snow Empress gave Shen Han Yu a big eye roll and said:
"Don't ask me. You, this person, clearly you can arrange everything else impeccably, but only on this emotional front over all these years, it's like there's a missing nerve in your brain…"
Shen Han Yu felt a headache coming on and said softly:
"Wait, Xue'er, let me calm down for a moment. My mind is a bit chaotic…"
The Snow Empress glanced at Shen Han Yu. Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending, she pursed her lips and said:
"Whatever you want. I've said what needed to be said, and I've done what should and shouldn't be done. The rest is all up to you…"
With that, the Snow Empress let out another light hum, turned, and walked back into the small building, leaving Shen Han Yu alone in place, somewhat dazed.
…
A moment later, Shen Han Yu finally snapped back to reality. After letting out a gentle breath, he slumped into the recliner, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest as his thoughts remained somewhat jumbled.
Perhaps when it came to emotions, over these past few years, major and minor matters had occupied too much of his time, to the point that he hadn't paid much attention to this aspect anymore.
As for Shui Bing'er's feelings toward him, he had sensed them, but he hadn't paid much heed, resulting in extremely little conversation between the two of them over all these years. Even the number of times he spoke with Shui Yue'er far exceeded his exchanges with Shui Bing'er…
Under such a way of interacting, how exactly had the feelings grown? Shen Han Yu couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
The answer to this question, as Shen Han Yu often said, could probably only be given by time…
But before Shen Han Yu could fully analyze it, the main parties involved had already appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard.
Shui Yue'er, walking beside Shui Bing'er, secretly exchanged a glance with Shen Liu Yu. Then, the two of them suddenly pushed Shui Bing'er forward, giggled twice, and ran off on their own.
At the window on the second floor of the small building, the Snow Empress lifted a corner of the curtain and glanced down at the two below. After letting out a soft sigh, she slowly let go of the curtain. Her figure quickly vanished from the room, and when she reappeared, she was already under an ancient tree in the distance of the small courtyard.
Shen Liu Yu and Shui Yue'er also ran out laughing, one on each side, hugging the Snow Empress's arms and gently shaking them.
The Snow Empress gave a helpless smile and said:
"You two little girls, what are you up to this time? If you dare pull me into something like this again next time, I'll throw both of you straight into the Star Dou Great Forest for a year of training…"
Shen Liu Yu and the other showed no reaction to her words and continued clinging to the Snow Empress's arms, acting spoiled.
Shen Liu Yu said with a grin:
"Sister-in-law, don't be upset… If it really doesn't work… um… how about I give you a beating to vent your anger, sister-in-law…"
Shui Yue'er also nodded and said:
"Sister-in-law, don't be unhappy. I think… Brother Yu's favorite and the one he cares about most is still you, sister-in-law… Although he's indeed a playboy, it's just… anyway… that…"
By the end, Shui Yue'er herself didn't even know what to say anymore.
The Snow Empress was amused by their reactions and said:
"I didn't say anything, did I? Why such big reactions…"
"A strong person should naturally have more choices. This is true whether in the human world or the soul beast world. From the moment we first got together, he was completely honest with me about everything. Later, as his strength exploded and grew until now, when he is truly the number one person in the plane, I have accompanied him all the way. In other words, I am the one who understands him the most…"
"Your worries are a bit unnecessary. I've watched all of you grow up. I know exactly what kind of people you are, and whether you have bad intentions is clear to me at a glance…"
"If it were anyone else, I would definitely beat them to death and never agree. But Bing'er is an exception…"
The two nodded repeatedly. Then Shen Liu Yu continued:
"Come on, sister-in-law. A new restaurant recently opened in Element City. Yue'er and I specially checked it out yesterday. Sister-in-law, today Yue'er is treating. Let's go shopping and have fun…"
Shui Yue'er quickly nodded, but then suddenly realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to say something, she was intimidated by the blatant threat in Shen Liu Yu's eyes. She subconsciously clutched her pink little purse tightly and silently prayed that she wouldn't go bankrupt today because of her sister's love life…
…
Meanwhile, back at the small courtyard.
Shui Bing'er lowered her head somewhat helplessly, her mind like a tangled mess, completely unsure of what she should do.
Feeling Shen Han Yu's gaze turn toward her, Shui Bing'er wished she could use her toes to dig a three-bedroom apartment right there and bury herself in it…
But in the end, Shui Bing'er still mustered the courage to raise her head and meet Shen Han Yu's slightly complicated gaze.
Shui Bing'er's face began to heat up uncontrollably. Her hands suddenly gripped her light blue long skirt tightly, and she slowly turned her head away, not daring to look at Shen Han Yu anymore.
The usual elegance and calmness seemed to have turned into bubbles at this moment. Even her brain felt as though it had stopped functioning. An indescribable urgency surged through Shui Bing'er's emotions, just one final tipping point away from completely erupting.
Shen Han Yu suddenly chuckled twice and said:
"Come over and chat, how about it?"
Shui Bing'er subconsciously nodded, but then regretted agreeing so quickly. In the current situation, she had completely fallen into a state of bewildered embarrassment.
Seeing Shui Bing'er still not moving, Shen Han Yu shook his head, slowly stood up, and walked toward her.
Shui Bing'er held back from retreating and even tried to lift her head to secretly observe Shen Han Yu's expression.
These small actions naturally did not escape Shen Han Yu's eyes. After giving a light smile, Shen Han Yu said directly:
"Should I say I'm surprised or startled… Or rather, when did it start…?"
Shui Bing'er was stunned, then hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:
"I don't know either…"
After another long silence, Shui Bing'er finally said softly:
"Can you… not ask these questions…"
"I… I really don't know how to answer…"
"But…"
Shen Han Yu nodded, then said somewhat helplessly:
"To be honest, this matter caught me very off guard, yet it also seems perfectly reasonable. Uh… I probably shouldn't use those words to describe it…"
Shui Bing'er kept her head down and said nothing.
Shen Han Yu thought for a moment and simply said directly:
"But you also know that my relationship with the Snow Empress runs very deep. If you're with me, the idea of 'one lifetime, one world, one pair' is absolutely impossible. I told the Snow Empress the same thing a few years ago. Now, perhaps the sentimental words are already hard for us to say. Emotions are accumulated over time. You can make your own decision…"
