Shengyin thought to herself that her previous words must have wounded the pride of someone like Yuaen Chen, who was just in his early twenties. His absence for several days in her presence was proof enough of that.
Without the disruptive influence of the third wheel, the relationship between Shengyin and Lu Changting had progressed remarkably.
For instance, Shengyin's way of addressing Lu Changting had shifted from "Senior Lu" to "Big Brother Lu."
And Lu Changting had entirely dropped the junior sister moniker, opting instead for Lulu.
Seeing how the two interacted, their rapport so seamless, anyone unaware might actually believe they had been lovers for many years.
Unfortunately, both of them were oblivious to this fact. Of course, in Lu Changting's opinion, it was Shengyin who was unaware while he had always been committed to steering things in this direction.
