Chapter 1303: 1303

Shen Zhilie nodded his head “Really . ”

Shen Luo’an’s actual words had been, “Check on her for me and see if she’s dead yet . ”

The last sentence about Shen Luo’an visiting Ye Youyou had been added in by Shen Zhilie on his own . Considering that Ye Youyou’s mood had made such a turn for the better, he felt the lie was worth it .

“That’s why, no matter what happens, your health is the most important thing . You must take good care of yourself . You have to ensure that you look prettier by the time my brother is less busy . Look, your complexion… Tsk tsk… It looks like a layer of ash . You look so white and greenish, and so frail . ” Shen Zhilie looked at her and shook his head . “You look a lot uglier than before . ”

Ye Youyou touched her face instinctively and experienced a moment of panic, “Really?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself . ” Shen Zhilie took out his cell phone, switched on the front camera, and placed it in front of her face . “Isn’t it so?”

Ye Youyou caught her own face on camera and saw the dark rings around her eyes, under-eye bags, pale complexion, and messy hair . She had not been taking care of her appearances throughout this period . First, she lacked the motivation . Second, it wasn’t convenient .

She had never expected her looks to deteriorate to such an extent . She touched her face, and her mood soon became complicated .

A week before, her face had been fresh and pretty . In just a few days, it had changed to this .

How lamentable…

Ye Youyou felt unsettled . She returned the phone to Shen Zhilie and didn’t say another word .

Shen Zhilie knew immediately that she had heeded his words . He quickly changed the topic, regaling her with many hilarious tales .

Unfortunately, Ye Youyou remained indifferent .

When Ye Qianqian returned with the food, she could sense the awkwardness in the air . Since there was an additional person, she had bought a lot of dishes . When she laid out the array of dishes, including meat and seafood, Shen Zhilie couldn’t stop cheering . He immediately opened the food boxes and began to dig in .

Ye Qianqian brusquely hit his hands with the chopsticks and asked, “Have you washed your hands yet? Furthermore, these were bought for my sister! You’re actually fighting for food with a patient?”

Shen Zhilie shrunk back and quickly replied, “I washed my hands! I’ll peel the shrimp for you . Hold on!”

“I don’t believe you,” Ye Qianqian said . “You’ll definitely steal a bite!”

“Am I that sort of person?” he asked .

“Yes,” Ye Qianqian said .

“I’ve been wrongly accused!” Shen Zhilie exclaimed .

Ye Qianqian laughed . Shen Zhilie was speechless .

The back-and-forth exchange between Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian was very meaningless, but Ye Youyou found it entertaining .

After the meal, Ye Youyou’s mood improved considerably .

By the time Shen Zhilie left, it was past 9 p . m .

Ye Youyou fell into a deep slumber . Ye Qianqian had left with Shen Zhilie to head to the hotel and get a room of her own . They bade each other goodnight and parted ways .

Even after Shen Zhilie took a shower, he still found it hard to calm himself . After considerable thought, he decided to give Shen Luo’an a call .

The call connected quickly . Shen Luo’an’s surroundings sounded noisy over the phone . There was loud music and conversations going on in the background, as well as the sound of women’s cajoling voices .

When Shen Zhilie heard that, he could roughly guess where his brother was . After a beat of silence, he called out, “Brother . ”

It wasn’t Shen Luo’an who answered him . It was Shen Manting .

“Zhilie, he is drunk,” she said . “I’m at the bar . Can you come and help? I can’t carry him on my own . ”

Shen Zhilie furrowed his brows . “I’m in Hengdian . You went drinking with him?”

“No . The waitress called to notify me,” Shen Manting said . “I didn’t dare tell Dad or Mom about it . I came here alone in secret . ”
