When Shen An walked in, Ji Yunzhou, who had just finished reading the page in his hand, lowered his head and scanned it for confirmation.

After flipping through the information, his hand paused.

Miss Chi, who still dislikes her so much and is so annoying.

Pursing her lips, Shen An pretended not to understand Chi Chu's sarcasm.

He nodded slightly to Ji Yunzhou and then planned to leave.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with her.

In fact, what Chi Chu said was absolutely correct.

In the circle of friends that Ji Yunzhou and the others had known each other since childhood, she was indeed the 'extra' one.

It is the same today more than ten years later.

Behind him, Ji Yunzhou suddenly closed the document and said:

"You're all here. Come and sit down. I happen to be working on a new project with your brother recently. I want to hear your opinion."

The steps he turned to leave froze in place.

Behind him, Ji Yunzhou's voice was polite and courteous.

It also carries a long-lost alienation.

Ji Yunzhou rarely spoke to people in this tone. If he did this, he was probably very dissatisfied.

But hearing such a tone, Shen An didn't feel too heartbroken, just sad.

Sure enough, once something happens, you can never go back.

Taking a deep breath, Shen An turned her head and looked at them again. The dazzling pride on Chi Chu's face made her feel more uncomfortable than Ji Yunzhou's indifference.

Squeezing out a smile, she tried to answer calmly:

"I'm not going to sit down anymore. I just heard that my senior brother was injured, so I stopped by to take a look. I'm relieved to see that you're fine. I'm leaving and you can recover well."

After he finished speaking with a smile, he lowered his eyes and pointed at the information on his lap.

"Call me anytime if you have any questions."

After saying that, he held the chip, opened the door without hesitation and walked out.

Behind him, Chi Chu's voice fell clearly on Shen An's ears:

"Tsk, Yunzhou, look, Shen An still has such a personality, haha..."

Ji Yunzhou's possible response was blocked by her hand closing the door quickly.

What a pity.

As soon as he opened the door, the keen Shen An noticed Chi Chu at first sight.

So she didn't see Ji Yunzhou's first expression when he saw her.

That's because she didn't expect that after Shen An came back, she would get the news from Liu Zhuoze and immediately rush over to see him.

When he saw her pushing open the door and entering, the forced smile on Ji Yunzhou's face brightened.

But when she saw her facing Chi Chu, her inferiority complex and cowardice immediately dimmed again.

Eventually it turned into what she saw was peace.

Seeing that Shen An chose to escape again, this time, Ji Yunzhou said nothing and did not want to keep her anymore.

He could have the courage to resist for Shen An. For the first time in his life, he refused to accept the life decided by his parents and turned down the engagement with the Chi family.

But she was still unwilling to take the initiative to take a step towards him.

But Ji Yunzhou really wanted to tell her: "An'an, it's okay even if you stand still."

He had the courage to take one hundred and one steps towards her.

But Shen An, why are you fleeing backwards...

I run towards you again and again because I believe you will run towards me too...

There was silence at the edge of the information. Ji Yunzhou's palms were wrinkled and he lowered his eyes. He skillfully hid his loneliness.

It wasn't until Chi Chu handed the peeled apple to Ji Yunzhou's mouth that he raised his head.

He maintained his polite smile and ducked his head back calmly.

"No, Miss Chi, I don't like apples, you can eat them yourself."

The polite refusal echoed in the room. Before he could take back his hand, the door of the ward was pushed open again.

Chi Chu turned his head to look, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw Liu Zhuoze.

Holding the apple, he spoke in a different voice than before, with a slightly gentler voice:

"Brother Liu, you're here!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up, his tone was a bit coquettish, and walked over to him to complain:

"Look at him, I finally learned how to peel an apple, but he still doesn't appreciate it—"

The voice stopped abruptly when he saw Shen An, who was holding his wrist and standing behind Liu Zhuoze.

A woman's sixth sense made Chi Chu quickly think of "your brother" when Ji Yunzhou spoke to Shen An just now.

Liu Zhuoze is Shen An's brother... Shen An is Liu Zhuoze's lost sister who was found after being separated?

How can it be……

After thinking of this possibility, Chi Chu's face instantly turned pale.

But he held on to a smile, looked at Shen An and then turned to Liu Zhuoze, asking for confirmation without giving up:

"Brother Liu, who is this?"

Pulling the reluctant Shen An in, and grasping her weakness of not wanting to be embarrassed by a conflict in public, Liu Zhuoze pushed Shen An in front of him.

After putting his hands on Shen An's shoulders, he proudly introduced to Chi Chu:

"This is my sister, my cousin. Oh, by the way, ChuChu, you just returned to China and haven't met her yet, but now we happen to know her."

After saying that, he bent down again, and when he was almost at the same level as Shen An's head, he opened his mouth to introduce to her:

"An'an, this is Chi Chu, the eldest lady of the Chi family, a very famous actress. I wonder if you have heard of her."

After smiling, Shen An, who couldn't escape, looked at the earth-colored Chi Chu in front of him and nodded helplessly:

"Miss Chi is very famous. It's a rare opportunity to see her in real life. She is even more beautiful than on the screen."

She's not telling lies.

Because Shen An's friend Xiao Rong is also in the entertainment industry, mostly abroad, so she does pay attention to Chi Chu and really thinks Chi Chu is beautiful.

Unlike Xiao Rong, who has a flamboyant and passionate beauty, Chi Chu has the elegance and coolness of a Chinese beauty. She really likes Chi Chu's appearance.

But Shen An's sincere compliment made Chi Chu break into a cold sweat.

Secretly observing her expression, that calm face made Chi Chu unable to guess her thoughts.

She felt that Shen An was mocking her by complimenting her, and that he wanted to slowly humiliate her and take revenge on her, but the expression didn't look like it.

As I speculated, I felt even more uneasy.

After all, the Chi family is nothing compared to the Liu family. Liu Zhuoze holds the lifeblood of many people and can discredit them with just a flick of his finger.

No matter what Shen An was thinking, Chi Chu had to put on a smile and coax her:

Gritting his teeth, he kept saying:

"No, Miss Shen is more beautiful..."

Under Liu Zhuoze's sudden attention, he quickly made way for them.

The juice of the apple in her hand was squeezed out by her fingers, and the expensive pulp was twisted under her fingertips.

Behind him, Ji Yunzhou looked at her appearance and shook his head helplessly, then looked down at the information.

But in the end he softened his heart and took the initiative to help Chi Chu out of trouble:

"Stop standing, sit down first."

The cool voice broke the awkward and stiff atmosphere.

After hearing this, Liu Zhuoze, who was looking at Chi Chu, moved away from his original gaze and went to move a stool for Shen An.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Chi Chu glanced at Ji Yunzhou gratefully, but he didn't look up at all.
