Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Since When Did You Get So Close?

Shen Nian looked at Shen Xiangnan, a little surprised. It wasn’t odd that he wanted her to make him clothes. The strange part was that he mentioned Lu Xinyue.

’Lu Xinyue herself hasn’t known for long that I can make clothes, right? How did Shen Xiangnan find out so quickly from her?’

"Xinyue? Xiangnan, since when did you and Xinyue get so close?"

Shen Nian watched Shen Xiangnan with great interest. She had hardly ever heard him mention a girl’s name before.

At Shen Nian’s question, and seeing the teasing look in her eyes, Shen Xiangnan grew a little embarrassed.

"Who’s close with her! She’s the one who insisted on coming up to me to show off, saying she’d soon be wearing clothes you made! Sis, you can’t be biased! She’s your sister-in-law, but I’m your real brother!"

As he spoke, Shen Xiangnan tugged on Shen Nian’s sleeve, shaking it back and forth as if he wouldn’t let go until she agreed.

"Oh..."

Shen Nian didn’t pull her sleeve away. Instead, she looked at Shen Xiangnan and drew out the "oh" with a lilting, theatrical tone.

"Sis, what’s with that reaction? I’m telling the truth! You don’t actually think there’s something going on between me and Lu Xinyue, do you?"

Shen Xiangnan was sixteen, after all. He wasn’t completely clueless, which was why he felt so awkward when Shen Nian teased him like that.

Hearing Shen Nian’s "oh," Shen Xiangnan felt even more flustered. He tugged on her arm and began to desperately explain himself.

"I never said there was anything going on between you and Xinyue. What are you so worked up about?"

"...Sis, you’re being mean!"

’She might not have said anything, but anyone with eyes could see what she meant by that reaction!’

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Everyone will get clothes. This trip was a bit rushed, so I haven’t had time to make them yet. I’ll send them over to you guys once they’re finished."

Shen Nian was only teasing Shen Xiangnan for fun; she hadn’t intended to actually make him angry.

Besides, whether Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue genuinely couldn’t stand each other or were just bickering like a pair of young rivals, Shen Nian wouldn’t interfere too much.

’They have their own lives to live. And besides, if something were to actually blossom between Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue, I wouldn’t object!’

’One is my beloved brother, and the other is my sister-in-law, who I’m growing fonder of by the day. The Shen and Lu families forging even closer ties... that doesn’t seem so bad!’

’Pfft, I’m getting way ahead of myself! Their whole lives are ahead of them; who knows what the future holds!’

"That’s great! Sis, I knew you still love me the most!"

Having gotten a satisfactory answer, Shen Xiangnan stopped tugging on Shen Nian’s sleeve. He was so happy that he even forgot about being teased over Lu Xinyue and ran off cheerfully.

Watching him go, Shen Nian couldn’t help but chuckle. ’He’s still just a kid. I was definitely getting carried away with my worries just now!’

...

"So this was your old room?"

Lu Cheng asked as he stepped into Shen Nian’s bedroom and looked around.

’This room is filled with Shen Nian’s presence. I love it.’

"Mhm, it is. My parents doted on me the most, so my room is a little bigger than my older brother’s and Xiangnan’s. When we were little, Xiangnan even got upset with me about it!"

Shen Nian chuckled as she spoke.

"You must have been adorable as a child."

Lu Cheng pulled Shen Nian down to sit by her hand. The thought of sleeping with her in her own childhood bedroom tonight sent waves of excitement through him.

However, before Lu Cheng could even express his delight, he saw Miao Cuifen appear at their doorway, holding a quilt.

"Lu Cheng, tonight, you can sleep in Xiangnan’s room. We’ll have Xiangnan squeeze in with his older brother!"

The moment he heard Miao Cuifen’s words, Lu Cheng’s face fell instantly.

But Shen Nian, upon hearing her mother’s words and seeing the look on Lu Cheng’s face, suddenly realized something and let out a snort of laughter.
