Chapter 210: Had Not Come Back Yet

In the past five years, Shen Yu had not come back. Other than hearing news about Shen Yu from Second and Third Uncle, Shen Yu had never contacted his family, and Emily had not mentioned him. It was as if she had completely forgotten about such a person.

“Emily, can you not be so ostentatious every time you come out?”

Shen Nan glared at Emily with dissatisfaction in his eyes. He had said that he did not want to go to school with Emily, but his mother had grabbed his ear and threatened him. It was really detestable. Shen Nan was already so old, but his mother had actually grabbed his ear.

Emily felt that she was very innocent. She had not done anything, and she had taken the blame. She put her hands on her hips and pretended to be fierce.

“I didn’t ask you to come with me. Who asked you to be stupid? When we reached the school gate, I said I wanted to get off, but you didn’t let me.”

“You still want to walk to school? I’m really unlucky. Why haven’t I gotten rid of you even after middle school?”

Shen Nan was even more dissatisfied. He had already been persecuted in primary school, and now he had to go to the same middle school as Emily. His life was too difficult.

“You…”

“Millie…” Just as Emily was about to speak, she heard a familiar voice from behind her. Then, she was hugged in a bear hug from behind, and a head came out from behind her.

“Millie, why do I feel like I haven’t seen you for a whole summer vacation? Have you grown taller again?” Qi Yan was very envious. Everyone came from the same primary school, so why did Emily grow so fast? She seemed to have stagnated?

“I seem to have grown two to three centimeters taller. Is it that obvious?” Emily felt that it was a little funny, but she was still very satisfied with the fact that she had grown taller.

“No matter how tall you are, you’re still not as tall as me, shorty.” Shen Nan rolled his eyes at the side. It was unclear whether he was looking down on Emily or on Qi Yan.

Emily and Shen Nan were about to quarrel again, so Qi Yan hurriedly pulled Emily away. “Millie, let’s go and see which class we’ve been assigned to. I’ve heard that the best class in year one is Class Eight. I wonder if we’ve entered it?”

Emily was a little helpless. Did Qi Yan have to find such a perfunctory excuse? No matter what, Qi Yan and Emily had always been ranked first or second in the grade. It was definitely not justifiable for them to be assigned to a lower class.

Shen Nan shook his head and kept up with the two of them. During this period, he did not forget to quarrel with Emily. Only then did he feel at ease.

“It really is Class Eight. The three of us are in class one after another. Let me see. Li Yu is also here. That’s great.” Qi Yan had an excited look on her face. The corner of her eyes looked at Shen Nan, who was not paying attention to Qi Yan, and she was secretly delighted.

“If you keep looking, your eyes will fall on him.” Emily bumped into Qi Yan, looked at Shen Nan, and teased.

Qi Yan’s face instantly turned red. “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”

Emily did not say anything. She pulled Qi Yan to the classroom and waited. After spending so many years together, Emily had clearly seen Qi Yan’s feelings for Shen Nan. Emily could not help but be a little surprised. Qi Yan had actually been able to like someone for so many years. She had been silently guarding him.

Thinking of this, Emily thought of the name that had been buried deep in her heart. Her heart could not help but ache. It had been five years. Was that person still not planning to come back?

“Emily?” Looking at Emily’s appearance, Qi Yan suddenly felt a little worried. Although Emily had pretended to forget about Shen Yu’s appearance in the past few years, she would still occasionally sit alone and stare blankly. She had always brought along the photo of her and Shen Yu.

“Oh? What did you say?” Emily came back to her senses and looked at Qi Yan apologetically. It was all her fault. She had been thinking too much just now.

“He… hasn’t returned yet?” Qi Yan asked personally. It had been five years. There should be some news by now.

Emily shook her head dejectedly. “Second Uncle came back the day before yesterday. He said that everything was fine with him and then he was gone. I didn’t dare to ask too much.”

She was afraid that if she asked too many questions, she would miss him, so she might as well not ask.

Qi Yan did not speak. She did not know how to comfort Emily, and Emily did not need her comfort. After a long time, Emily had already learned to adjust herself.

“Don’t worry, it should be soon.”

Emily nodded and revealed a brilliant smile. She also felt that Shen Yu would return very soon and would not leave again.

“Brother Nan, this Millie is becoming more and more beautiful. Let me tell you, the moment you entered the school gate, she was already on the school forum. Look at Millie’s influence. She is very popular because of her good looks.”

This time, Li Yu and Shen Nan were very far away from Qi Yan and Emily. They could only see the two of them sitting and talking intimately. As for what they said, they really could not hear it at all.
