Shen Su stared at her, silent, his eyes moving from her eyes to her lips, growing hotter, yet filled with intense anger, as if he wanted to devour her.
Anyone else would have been terrified to be looked at like that, but Feng Feng appeared calm. Seeing his silence, she continued, "Shen Su, why are you looking at me like that?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Su placed his fingers on her lips. "I saw something in the drawer of the spare bedroom."
Feng Feng froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered that there was a photo of her and Li Yue in the spare bedroom, taken when she accompanied him to his graduation ceremony. Had he seen that?
Feng Feng hadn't deliberately cleared out Li Yue's belongings. He had bought many things that were very useful to her. She and Li Yue had parted amicably; there was no lingering attachment or hatred born of love, so she hadn't felt the need to purge them.
However, it was just a photo. Shen Su's reaction was a bit more extreme than she had anticipated. "What did you see?"
Seeing Feng Feng's composed demeanor, Shen Su smiled again, his smile carrying a hint of danger. "Ms. Feng and Li Yue played quite a bit, and there were many tools."
Tools? Feng Feng suddenly recalled that Li Yue seemed to have bought some things. They had visited a sex-themed exhibition when they were in America, and there were related merchandise for sale, but they hadn't used them after buying them.
Perhaps Li Yue hadn't taken these things with him when he left. Feng Feng hadn't deliberately tidied the spare bedroom and didn't know these things were still there and that Shen Su had seen them. However, seeing his angry state, Feng Feng had no intention of explaining. She simply said faintly, "Oh, I bought some before. He forgot to take them when he left."
Shen Su's eyes reddened, likely due to the surge of emotion. He gripped her chin. "Ms. Feng kept the things to play with herself, and to reminisce about her ex-boyfriend?"
The jealousy in this statement was so strong that even Feng Feng, who was not prone to vanity, could detect his displeasure. She smiled faintly and retorted, "Aren't you overreacting? From what standpoint are you asking me these things?"
Shen Su was rendered speechless by Feng Feng's question, his anger intensifying. He held her chin, stared at her for a long moment, and then smiled again. "Ms. Feng is right, I have no standing to ask these things."
With that, he released her.
But Feng Feng didn't get up from him. Looking at him, she moved her lips. "I didn't get a chance to use those things."
Under Shen Su's gaze, Feng Feng told him where the items were purchased. "When Li Yue and I went back to America for his graduation ceremony, we visited an exhibition. We bought them but didn't get to use them, and he didn't take them when he left."
Shen Su knew very well that Feng Feng disdained lying about such things. Therefore, after hearing her explanation, the discomfort in his heart subsided considerably. "If you hadn't broken up, would you have kept them for use?"
Feng Feng found him to be unreasonably troublesome. "Don't make hypothetical assumptions that have no real meaning."
Shen Su chuckled playfully and placed his hand on her waist, tracing downwards suggestively.
Feng Feng said, "I'm hungry. Let's have breakfast first."
Shen Su had drunk so much last night. Regardless of whether he was faking his drunkenness, Feng Feng knew from personal experience how bad one felt the day after drinking. He was dehydrated now and must be starving.
Shen Su asked with a smile, "You'll cook?"
Feng Feng said, "I'll order takeout."
She had no interest in cooking. Ordering takeout was already a sign of her effort.
Shen Su was not entirely satisfied with this action. "I drank last night, and Ms. Feng is just dismissing me with takeout?"
Feng Feng retorted, "Then will you cook?"
Shen Su smiled and said, "It's quite difficult to get a meal cooked by Ms. Feng."
Feng Feng made no comment, took out her phone to order takeout, then got up from him and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.
About half an hour later, the takeout arrived. Feng Feng and Shen Su sat at the dining table and ate together. Shen Su asked a question he already knew the answer to. "Why did you pick me up last night?"
Feng Feng said, "Gu Song called me."
Shen Su said, "I thought you were angry with me. After all, Ms. Feng hasn't contacted me for over a week."
Feng Feng said, "So you do know you've angered me."
Shen Su had not anticipated her turning the tables on him like this. He was momentarily at a loss for words and fell silent.
While Shen Su was silent, Feng Feng said to him, "The deceased should be respected. I don't like people making jokes about him."
Such words, to Shen Su's ears, became naked protection. As he listened, memories of Feng Feng's past kindness to Wen Zhouyuan filled his mind, making him feel naturally uncomfortable. After a long pause, he gave a short laugh. "Did I say anything excessive? It was just a tease. Ms. Feng is still protective. A white moonlight is always a white moonlight."
Feng Feng put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Su calmly. "Wen Zhouyuan has already passed away. I don't want to mention him. He is not my white moonlight."
Shen Su: "Not your white moonlight, yet you can make Ms. Feng, who has such a calm life, angry? Just mentioning his name makes you this sensitive, and you say he's not your white moonlight?"
Feng Feng truly did not want to listen to Shen Su's unreasonable behavior on this matter anymore, so she decided to clarify it for him once and for all. "I stopped liking Wen Zhouyuan a long time ago. He helped me a lot in the past, so my taking care of him is considered repayment."
Feng Feng rarely explained things to people, and Shen Su was well aware of this. Therefore, he was somewhat surprised to hear Feng Feng explain her relationship with Wen Zhouyuan, especially when she said, "I stopped liking Wen Zhouyuan a long time ago." He had never considered such a possibility.
If anyone else had said this to him, he wouldn't have believed it, but these words came directly from Feng Feng's mouth. She was never someone who would lie to make him happy. However, Shen Su couldn't understand, "Then why did you take care of him?"
Not only him, but also his daughter and ex-wife. Such behavior was almost saintly. "You've never been one to meddle in other people's affairs."
"Because his affairs are not trivial matters to me." Feng Feng frankly admitted Wen Zhouyuan's importance. "When I entered the industry, he was the one who brought me in. Without him, my career wouldn't have been so smooth. Even if I no longer had feelings for him, he was still my friend and mentor."
Shen Su fell silent.
What Feng Feng said was the truth. He had learned this when he did his research. Wen Zhouyuan had helped Feng Feng a lot in her career and studies. Although their emotional involvement was passive, objectively speaking, if he hadn't kept Feng Feng strung along, she wouldn't have learned from him for so long.
However, Shen Su found it very difficult to view Wen Zhouyuan objectively.
"If I still had feelings for him, I wouldn't have taken care of him so much," Feng Feng said. "So, please don't mention Wen Zhouyuan anymore. He's gone, there's no need."
