He admitted that he was sick. He was so selfish that he did not want Emily to play around with others. He selfishly thought that Emily belonged to him alone.
Therefore, he had been hiding from Emily during this period of time. He was afraid that Emily would make more friends when she arrived at school. At that time, he was afraid that he could not help but hide Emily.
Looking at Emily who was still sobbing in front of him, Shen Yu only realized at this moment that he wanted to stab himself. This time, he was the one who made Emily so sad.
Shen Yu coaxed Emily to sleep for a long time. After Emily fell asleep, Shen Yu pulled his hand out of Emily’s small hand and carefully left Emily’s room.
“Xiao Yu? You’re back? Have you eaten dinner? I’ll ask the kitchen to make some for you.”
Second Aunt had just arrived at Emily’s door. She wanted to see if Emily was asleep, but she did not expect to see Shen Yu coming out of Emily’s room. She could not help but be a little surprised and even a little happy. It seemed that… the two of them should have reconciled.
“Thank you, Second Aunt. I’ve already eaten outside.”
“It’s good that you’ve eaten. Have you gone to see Millie? That little fellow must have fallen asleep. What a pity. You should have come back earlier. Millie has been asking when you’ll be back these few days. When she heard that you’re not coming back, that disappointed look of her made my heart ache to death.”
Shen Yu frowned. He was happy, but he blamed himself even more. Why did he have to be so petty?
“Alright, Second Aunt doesn’t blame you. I know that you have just started school, but you can’t be like this in the future. Millie hasn’t been thinking about food or tea for the past few days. She looks like she has lost weight. The few pounds of meat that she had painstakingly raised is gone just like that.”
Second Aunt looked down at Shen Yu. Seeing that Shen Yu was frowning, she instantly felt a lot better. She patted Shen Yu’s shoulder. She continued to persuade him earnestly, “Go and rest. Second Aunt knows that you’re tired too. Tomorrow, Millie will know that you came back to see her, but she’s already asleep. She’ll definitely regret sleeping so early.”
Shen Yu knew very well that Second Aunt was complaining on behalf of Millie. If he didn’t interrupt her, he didn’t know how long she would have to nag for to prevent her ears from being poisoned. Shen Yu slowly said, “Second Aunt, Millie just fell asleep. She knows when I came back.”
