Chapter 541: Chapter 361: The wolf dragged the sheep back to its den.

Shen Mianmian did have a spare quilt, though it was a summer quilt and not very thick, but covering Lu Siyuan with it shouldn’t make him feel cold, the young man’s body exuded plenty of warmth.

"I’ll bring you a quilt later, remember to wash your feet before you go to bed."

"Then lend me a pair of slippers, I can’t wash my feet in these shoes, they’ll get wet." Having become quite familiar with Shen Mianmian, Lu Siyuan didn’t stand on ceremony, asking for whatever he lacked, feeling as if he were at his own home.

"Do you have athlete’s foot?" Shen Mianmian asked.

"Just a bit of foot odor when I sweat, no athlete’s foot."

"Then don’t take off your shoes before you’ve washed your feet."

Xiaocui was amused by their conversation and took out her slippers from the room, "Siyuan, why don’t you use my slippers to wash your feet? I wear size thirty-eight, Mianmian wears thirty-six, I doubt you could fit into hers."

Lu Siyuan now at least needed size forty-one shoes, his feet simply wouldn’t fit into Shen Mianmian’s shoes.

"That works."

Lu Siyuan was unceremonious, bending over to take off his shoes when suddenly the doorbell rang, he paused, and asked puzzlingly.

"Who would come here so late?"

"It should be Big Brother He."

Shen Mianmian walked over to open the door.

Seeing her eagerness, Lu Siyuan curled his lip, imitating her tone, he muttered under his breath with a mocking lilt, "It should be Big Brother He."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes.

Xiaocui: "..."

Should she pretend she didn’t see that?

Shen Mianmian opened the door and indeed saw He Nan standing at the doorway, "Big Brother He."

"Mhm." He Nan responded indifferently, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "You have guests?"

Shen Mianmian stepped aside to make way, gesturing for He Nan to enter, "We went to the movies today, and when the movie ended, it was too late, the school dormitory was closed, so he didn’t go back and is staying over on the couch for the night."

Stay over for the night?

With an expressionless face, He Nan walked in, Lu Siyuan, seeing him enter, quickly stood up and greeted, "Big Brother He."

He couldn’t explain why, but even though he greatly admired Big Brother He, seeing him so close to Shen Mianmian made him feel very uncomfortable, inexplicably repelled by He Nan’s contact with Shen Mianmian.

He Nan’s gaze swept over him, and with a detached expression said, "This is a place of two girls, staying here is inconvenient, come stay at mine."

His tone was indifferent, yet it carried an air of no refusal.

Lu Siyuan inwardly curled his lip, he was sleeping in the living room, not in Shen Mianmian’s room, what was so inconvenient about that?

Although he disagreed inwardly, he didn’t outwardly show it and instead said, "This place is closer to the school, it’s more convenient because I can go to school with Mianmian tomorrow."

"Big Brother He lives just across the hall." Shen Mianmian thought it would be good for Lu Siyuan to stay at He Nan’s place, not because it was inconvenient or not, but because the sofa was small and sleeping on a bed would be more comfortable since Big Brother He had a guest room.

"What?" Lu Siyuan stared with wide eyes, feeling exceedingly uncomfortable inside, "The place across the hall is where Big Brother He lives?"

Big Brother He was doing this on purpose, wasn’t he?

To have Shen Mianmian living right across from him.

"Is there a problem?" He Nan asked with raised eyebrows.

Of course, there was a problem.

Lu Siyuan felt this was like asking a wolf to watch over sheep, only to have the wolf take the sheep back to his den.

But he couldn’t blatantly say it; after all, it was merely his speculation. Big Brother He was truly good to them, having helped them a lot; if it was a misunderstanding, it would be terribly unjust.

So his words belied his true thoughts, "I’m just a bit surprised."
