Chapter 229 Suspension Bridge Effect

Chen Youen had never seen such a clear yet confused look in Shen Feiwan's eyes before.

She couldn't help but reach out and rub Shen Feiwan's face. "So what do you think this is?"

Shen Feiwan removed her hand, her tone firm, "This is guilt."

“That works too,” Chen Youen said, sitting up straight cross-legged. “Isn’t there a saying that ‘love is about constantly feeling indebted’?”

Shen Feiwan: "I don't often feel indebted, it's just that I've felt it these past few days."

“It’s over, it’s over,” Chen Youen said, falling backward. “I can’t reason with you anymore.”

Shen Feiwan frowned. "I still don't think love is something that happens so easily."

Chen Youen shook her head, "You're overcomplicating love! You were just hurt too badly by Lin Xiaoyan when you were a teenager."

Shen Feiwan glared at Chuan, "Don't mention him."

Chen Youen's eyes lit up. "See, you don't mind when I mention Bo Junxing."

Shen Feiwan's eyes widened. "Because we are discussing Bo Junxing."

“Okay,” Chen Youen sat up again and asked Shen Feiwan sympathetically, “You must be quite troubled right now, right?”

"...That goes without saying."

“Actually, I know the reason. Do you know the suspension bridge effect?” She continued before Shen Feiwan could answer, “It’s when two people experience danger together, their accelerated heartbeats are mistaken for feelings of attraction.”

She looked at Shen Feiwan and said, "You have developed a special emotional connection with him because you went through life and death together with him."

Shen Feiwan asked, "So what do I do now?"

“It’s really over,” Chen You’en clicked his tongue twice. “You’ve lost all your own opinions now.”

Shen Feiwan turned over sullenly and buried her face in the blanket, "Maybe I'm still drunk..."

Chen Youen thought for a moment and pulled her blanket up. "I have a way! First, we need to verify if this is the suspension bridge effect."

"How to try?"

"Find another man."

"...Maybe I ate too much greasy food those few days, I don't want to find another man now."

"Then let's find Bo Junxing!" Chen Youen rushed over and hugged Shen Feiwan's shoulder. "Let's see if this effect still occurs under normal circumstances."

Shen Feiwan stared straight at Chen Youen, "Are you out of your mind? Do you think he's a rag doll that I can manipulate? We finally managed to put our grudges behind us, and now you want me to go and recruit him?"

“OK!” Chen Youen held up two fingers. “I have a second way, which is to get rid of this effect. Rational thinking plus shifting attention.”

Shen Feiwan simply threw off the covers and got out of bed. "Saying anything is pointless. I choose to get rid of this. Now, get up!"

"So what are you going to do later?" Chen Youen asked, leaning over the edge of the bed.

"Let's go desensitize." Shen Feiwan opened the closet to find clothes. "Let's go skiing, or will you come with me?"

"Huh? I'll go with you?" Chen Youen stammered. "That's not a good idea. Our danger isn't completely over yet, so it's best not to go abroad. It's very chaotic out there."

"Domestic is fine, it's winter now."

"That's not a good idea either."

"Alright, I understand." Shen Feiwan sighed. "You're such a fickle person, you can't bear to leave Shen Xubai, can you?"

Chen Youen chuckled and asked again, "Are you going home tonight?"

"what happened?"

Chen Youen smiled and said, "I drove your brother's car here last night..."

Her voice trailed off, “He’s been pulling all-nighters lately, so I have to drive the car back. He’ll wake up in the afternoon, and I’ll cook for him so we can eat together.”

"You can cook?" Shen Feiwan's hand, which was buttoning her clothes, froze in mid-air, utterly shocked.

"I just learned it! It's very simple, and your brother even said it tastes good."

Shen Feiwan touched the last button she had fastened and said, "Chen Youen, I feel like I'm about to lose you."

"How could that be?" Chen You'en got out of bed and took Shen Feiwan's arm. "At most, I'll just change my identity and continue playing with you. Or you can start calling me sister-in-law from now on?"

Shen Feiwan glanced at Chen Youen speechlessly, "Let's talk about it after you and my brother get together."

Chen Youen raised her chin. "Today I'll let you try my cooking. The supermarket downstairs is open now, let's go buy some ingredients."

Shen Feiwan nodded.

The two quickly got dressed and went downstairs to the supermarket.

While picking out vegetables, Shen Feiwan suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Chen Youen turned around and asked her.

Shen Feiwan lowered her eyes. "It's nothing."

Chen Youen caught up with her and grabbed her hand, "Tell me!"

She leaned closer to Shen Feiwan's face, "I'll worry if you do this."

Shen Feiwan sighed helplessly, "I just suddenly remembered the times we used to go grocery shopping together and cook together at home."

"Him?" Chen Youen didn't react for a moment. "Who is he?"

Shen Feiwan remained silent, only glancing at Chen Youen without saying a word.

Chen Youen suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean Bo Junxing! Then who cooked the meal? It definitely wasn't you! By the way, how good is his cooking?"

Shen Feiwan rolled her eyes at Cai, "Can you please stop bringing back my memories?"

Chen Youen blinked. "Isn't this a kind of desensitization training?"

“Okay…” Shen Feiwan pushed the cart forward. “It was made by him. It tastes pretty good. It looks, smells, and tastes delicious.”

What are you making?

"noodle."

"What kind of noodles? I'll make you the exact same ones! Let's see who makes the tastiest."

"I don't remember that. I had a falling out with the old man of the Bo family back then and stayed outside for a few days. He did all the housework."

"Ah, I'm so envious," Chen Youen squinted, "I wish your brother could cook for me someday."

"..." Shen Feiwan's bittersweet emptiness intensified.

This is utterly worthless desensitization training; the more you try to desensitize her, the more sensitive she becomes.

She quickened her pace and walked ahead, while Chen Youen chased after her carrying the groceries, saying, "Wait for me, I haven't finished shopping yet!"

Shen Feiwan didn't even turn her head. "Aren't you going back to my brother's? You're buying all this to put as exhibits at your house?"

“We need to buy groceries when we go to your brother’s house!” Chen Youen stuffed a box of strawberries into the cart. “I’ll take the ones we can’t finish with me.”

Shen Feiwan had a headache, suddenly realizing that she and Chen Youen were almost out of common ground.

This shopping trip lasted for more than forty minutes. If Chen Youen hadn't been worried about not being able to get back in time to cook for her sweetheart, she would have wanted to empty the entire supermarket.

Shen Feiwan glanced at the bulging bag in her hand and complained, "Shen Xubai only has one stomach, and with you, that's only two. Can you guys finish all this? It won't be fresh if it's left out for too long."

Chen Youen then gave up and hurriedly paid the bill to go home.

Not long after she stepped out of the supermarket, Shen Feiwan's phone vibrated in her pocket.

She took it out and looked at it, her brows furrowing instantly.

"Who is it?" Chen Youen leaned closer and saw an unfamiliar number. "A salesperson? Why aren't you answering?"

Shen Feiwan immediately swiped away the call. "It should be Lin Xiaoyan."

"You didn't block him?"

Shen Feiwan put her phone back in her pocket. "I tried, but I couldn't get it all out."

She quickened her pace. "Let's go."

The phone vibrated again, but Shen Feiwan didn't even look at it before immediately muting it.

However, the two had only walked ten meters when a black Maybach suddenly stopped in front of them.

The back door opened, and a pair of long legs stepped out as Lin Xiaoyan walked up to Shen Feiwan.
