Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2896 One more kiss

Marcy was even more surprised after hearing this. "Ah! Why would you turn it down?"

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask a few more questions.

But Shino clearly didn't want to say anything more. He quickly made an excuse, saying he was sleepy, and turned around and hurried back to his room.

Marcy watched him leave, his steps slightly hurried, her mind filled with questions.

……

The next day, Charlene slowly woke up from her sleep, feeling groggy and her mind blank.

She blinked, looked around, and it took her a while to gradually come to her senses.

Where am I?

She tried hard to recall what happened last night, but found that she had no recollection of how she went upstairs or how she entered the room. Her memory was as if it were shrouded in a thin fog, blurry and unclear.

She rubbed her temples, slowly sat up, and was about to get out of bed when she saw Marcy, who was about to call her.

As soon as Marcy saw her, she greeted her with a bright smile and said in a cheerful tone, "Finally awake? I was just about to come and wake you up! I was afraid you'd oversleep and be late."

Charlene was a little embarrassed and quickly apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'll go wash up right away, I'll be done soon."

Marcy waved her hand, indicating that there was no rush. "It's okay, there's still time. You don't need to be in such a hurry."

As she spoke, she followed Xia Lin into the restroom, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing Xia Lin with interest, her gaze filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Charlene saw Marcy's expression in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh, asking, "What kind of look is that?"

Marcy chuckled, leaned closer, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious and wanted to ask you something."

Are things going well between you and Shi Ye?

Did he pick you up last night, or did he carry you upstairs to bed?

"Huh? He hugged me???"

Charlene's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Marcy dismissed it, her tone slightly mocking, "Yes, what's so surprising about that?"

He called you then, but you didn't wake up. I didn't have the strength to hold you.

What's going on between you two? It's only been a few days, and your relationship has become so complicated?

Charlene sighed helplessly and whispered in defense, "Really, there's nothing between us..."

She looked a little disappointed as she spoke, and she didn't intend to hide anything from her best friend.

Marcy tilted her head, even more puzzled. "Then what exactly happened? Tell me quickly."

Charlene told Marcy everything she had overheard the night before, adding, "He brought me back simply because the school gates were closed; there was no other reason."

After saying that, she continued brushing her teeth slowly, as if trying to use this action to hide her emotions.

Marcy was shocked and pressed for an answer: "Did he really say that himself? You didn't hear wrong?"

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Charlene mumbled an "Mmm" under the towel, her expression sullen.

Marcy found it unbelievable and immediately said to Charlene, "There might be some misunderstanding about this, or you didn't hear the rest of the story."

I think his feelings for you... might not be what you've heard.

Charlene shook her head with a wry smile, her eyes revealing helplessness. "How could it not be?"

His attitude towards me is actually the same as his attitude towards you; I can sense that.

Perhaps he truly never considered me.

So, I might need to slow down for a while and not push as hard as before.

I need to give myself some time and space to rethink this relationship and how to continue it.

Charlene had clearly made up her mind, so after saying that, she went out to change her clothes.

Marcy followed behind, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

If he didn't care, why would he bother to fight for that filming opportunity for Xia Lin?

Moreover, after listening to both sides' explanations, I have a feeling that Shi Ye is not entirely indifferent to the existence of Senior You Qian.

Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't meddle in other people's business!

However, my friend is still feeling down.

After much deliberation, Marcy decided to hold back for the time being and observe the situation first.

Soon, Charlene finished getting ready, and the two went downstairs together to have breakfast.

At this moment, Zhou Si and Shi Ye are both at the dining table.

Upon seeing the two, Xia Lin greeted them politely, then quietly sat down and focused on eating, deliberately avoiding saying anything more to Shi Ye.

After breakfast, Shino stood up and offered to take them to school.

At this moment, Zhou Si said, "I happen to be going to the school to take care of some things today, and I'll give Shi Yang a ride on my way."

Upon hearing this, Xia Lin almost couldn't wait to reply, "Then I'll hitch a ride with you! No need to trouble Brother Shi Ye."

Zhou Si raised an eyebrow.

Shino raised an eyebrow, seemingly a little surprised.

Charlene immediately added, "This way you won't have to make another trip, it's such a hassle!"

Shino stared at her, gazing at her silently for a few seconds, as if trying to read something from her expression.

Charlene didn't look back, but simply looked down and tidied the things around her before saying to Marcy, "Let's go."

Marcy saw this, but ultimately didn't say anything more.

Although Zhou Si was puzzled by the subtle atmosphere between the two, he did not ask rashly, but silently drove them back to school.

Upon arriving at the school, Xia Lin said she needed to go back to her dormitory first and then left in a hurry.

Just as she turned and walked away, Zhou Si couldn't help but ask Marcy, "What's going on between them?"

Marcy succinctly explained, "I think there's a misunderstanding between the two of them, or their feelings for each other are somewhat misaligned."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Si analyzed, "What Shi Ye said back then might have had a deeper meaning, but he didn't express it clearly, so it's no wonder Xia Lin misunderstood."

Marcy was a little annoyed. "He's always been a man of few words, the kind who's never said a word."

Zhou Si chuckled and suggested, "Then why not take this opportunity to make him change? He can't always have girls chasing after him."

If he really cared, he should be more anxious and proactive.

Zhou Si paused, then added thoughtfully, "Besides, don't you think that senior's appearance was perfectly timed?"

Sometimes, people need a little external stimulation, or to be slightly "pushed" by someone, to realize what they truly want in their hearts.

This might not be a bad thing!

Marcy thought about it carefully and realized that Zhou Si's words did make sense.

She nodded gently, then said with a touch of regret, "Sigh, if it weren't for you and me trying to bring them together, they would have broken up sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Si couldn't help but laugh and reach out to pinch Masie's cheek, his eyes full of doting affection. "If you ask me, this is all thanks to you!"

You're always so thoughtful and willing to do things for your friends.

After saying that, he gently leaned in and gave her a light kiss.

Marcy shyly flinched and whispered a reminder, "Don't do that... We're still at school, it's not a good look."

Zhou Si raised an eyebrow and smiled, replying confidently, "Who in this school doesn't know we're a couple? Isn't it good to announce that we're 'taken'? It'll save some clueless people from bothering us."

Marcy agreed, so she raised her slightly flushed face and said softly, "Then... then let's kiss again."
