NOVPUBShen Roujia had no idea what had just happened, but she noticed that Xu Zening’s gaze toward her was more complicated than usual.
She found it odd that her body had reacted the way it did earlier, yet she now felt completely fine—her energy restored, and fatigue gone.
With a bright smile, she looked at Xu Zening. “You should go take care of your work. There’s nothing to worry about here.”
Xu Zening didn’t say much and left rather abruptly, his behavior somewhat strange.
After he left, Shen Roujia paused for a moment, puzzled, as she gently rubbed her wrist.
Over the next two or three days, as she fully recovered, Shen Roujia awkwardly penned a letter in response to Shen Hexuan, who had sent her a family letter.
Before, when Shen Hexuan wrote to her without the overly affectionate tone, Shen Roujia viewed the letters as simple expressions of an older brother’s fondness for his younger sister. But after recent events, she found herself feeling uneasy as she looked at the lively, affectionate words on the page.
Why did the concern in those lines feel sticky, more like something meant for a girlfriend rather than a little sister?
Shen Roujia scribbled a few perfunctory lines in reply, sealed the letter, and handed it to Xiao Fu. “Just give this to the doorman; no need to make a big fuss over it.”
Xiao Fu glanced at Shen Roujia with a puzzled expression. Normally, Shen Roujia would be smiling while writing home, but today, something seemed off.
Sensing Xiao Fu’s gaze, Shen Roujia frowned slightly and met her eyes. “What is it?”
Xiao Fu quickly shook her head and left without saying more.
Shen Roujia chuckled to herself, her thoughts wandering.
