Stealing Your Heart Chapter 681

Wang Wen was speechless.

There was nothing more convincing than what Sang Yu had just said.

Age doesn’t matter when you like someone.

He pursed his lips, turned around and left.

Meanwhile, Sang Yu went back to the house and sat by the bedside.

Shen Peichuan hesitated for a while, walked in, and sat near her in a distance. However, both of them kept silent.

The sun slowly set, and soon, it was getting dark in the room.

“Sang Yu…”

“Captain Shen…”

Both of them spoke and stopped at the same time. Shen Peichuan continued, “Just call me by my first name.”

Sang Yu smiled sheepishly. “I forgot that you’re no longer a captain. Are you hungry? Let me go prepare some food.”

On her way to the kitchen, she walked past Shen Peichuan, and he grabbed her hand.

Sang Yu turned and was met by his blazing gaze in a dark room.

“You don’t mind that I’m older than you…”

Sang Yu interrupted him, “If you don’t mind me being an orphan, then I won’t mind that you’re older than me.”

Shen Peichuan never cared about these, but he had always felt that he was not suitable for her because of his age.

“Why would I? I know that you’re a good lady.”

Smiling coyly, Sang Yu bowed her head and held on tight to the side of her blouse. Biting her lips, she asked, “Do you like me then?”

He pondered for a moment. “I think so.”

Though it sounded stiff, Sang Yu believed that he was genuine in his feelings.

“Are you hungry then?” She lifted her head and looked at him with her lips curled up to a nice angle.

Shen Peichuan nodded.

Sang Yu felt amused and asked, “Do you plan to keep holding my hand like this?”

Upon realizing the blunder, Shen Peichuan let go of her immediately. However, she quickly gripped his hand and explained, “I like it, but I don’t want to starve you. So I’ll go cook now while you can take a rest on the bed.”

Thereafter, she let go of him and headed to the kitchen.

He looked at his hand and a smirk settled on his face. Shen Peichuan then got up and followed her to the kitchen. At that moment, Sang Yu was cutting some potatoes. “These were planted by the principal. Aren’t they big?”

Shen Peichuan nodded in agreement.

Sang Yu stared at him. Although his head was bandaged with gauze, his sharp features could still be clearly seen. The way he looks at me right now is so gentle.

Dressed in a white t-shirt and black Bermuda shorts, he looked exceptionally boyish.

“You look good in these.” Sang Yu smiled sweetly.

Shen Peichuan took a good look at himself. These are Wang Wen’s clothes, I didn’t expect them to fit me so well.

“Let’s go shopping tomorrow and get you some change of clothes.” Sang Yu also planned to buy more groceries. He needs to have balanced meals in order to recover well from his injuries.

“Buy a new set of clothes to return to the guy who likes you,” Shen Peichuan said, “I’ll pass you some money later.”

He did not wish to owe to his “love rival” anything.

Sang Yu handed a tomato to his mouth. “Are you jealous that he likes me?”

Right when he was still debating in his own thoughts, Sang Yu hugged him and then buried her face in his chest while sobbing convulsively.

Shen Peichuan stiffened for a few seconds before stretching out his hand to embrace her. She trembled in his arms, making his heart wrenched in pain. He felt very sorry for what Sang Yu had to go through.

“Why did you leave? I was so worried when you went missing. I even searched for you in your hometown but to no avail. I’ll go back with you.”

Sang Yu looked at him. “You went to my hometown?”

Shen Peichuan nodded.

“But how did you know about my hometown?” Her glistened eyes widened in disbelief.

“Have you forgotten what’s my expertise? It wasn’t very difficult to look up your address.”

She finally realized. That’s right. Mom has a criminal record so he could check anything within a click.

“If we’re together, will it affect your…”

“No.” She was interrupted before she could finish her question.

“I don’t have a prominent family background, neither do I have any network that can assist you in your career. I have nothing to offer…” Sang Yu said with disappointment.

Shen Peichuan desired to climb the social ladder but definitely not through the means of depending on others.

“Do you trust me?” He tousled her hair. “Isn’t it too much for a brain like yours to think so much at a young age?”

Sang Yu nodded her head vigorously. “I trust you.”

After opening up to him and sharing her genuine concerns, she felt so much better. It’s worth delaying dinner for an hour.

She made a simple meal; stir-fried potatoes with green peppers, stir-fried green beans, sour and spicy radish, and steamed corn. The pickled radish was gifted to her by a student’s grandmother.

“Try this. It’s so soft.” Sang Yu passed him some corns.

Shen Peichuan stopped eating and looked at her with a serious face. He uttered in a low voice, “Sang Yu, I need to tell you something.”
