“Yeah, let’s go out to eat.” Xu Qingyan casually closed his laptop, got up, and walked toward her, patting Shen Jinyue on the head, “Change your shoes and co downstairs.”
“Okay.” Shen Jinyue nodded, “Wait for , then I will go change my clothes.”
She said and went off to change her clothes excitedly, completely forgetting about the evening’s events.
It proved that she was really easy to fool; she believed whatever was told to her.
But it was also for this reason that he didn’t cross any lines.
Mainly because he was afraid Shen Jinyue couldn’t handle it, planning to wait a while longer to talk about it, until she cald down.
As long as he didn’t go in, it didn’t count as anything, at most it was a muddled account.
As long as Shen Jinyue figured it out one day, or wasn’t so head over heels, if she had other thoughts.
She could always erase this mory and still be just ordinary friends afterward.
...
Shen Jinyue was still young, temporarily trapped in the fog.
But one day, and it wouldn’t take too long, she would realize that there were two other people ahead, and she couldn’t accept it sooner or later.
Xu Qingyan’s energy was primarily spent on Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou, it had been like this before, and it would be like this in the future, unlikely to change.
He habitually left room for maneuver, not asking for much.
Or rather, he was accustod to letting the bullet fly for a while, if Shen Jinyue really didn’t mind, then he wouldn’t either.
In the elevator, Shen Jinyue spoke softly.
“…You were a bit excessive yesterday.”
Xu Qingyan glanced at her, “If you were unwilling, why didn’t you refuse?”
“I…
I refused, wouldn’t that make seem…
you know.” Shen Jinyue’s face turned red, she seed to have difficulty finishing her thoughts and struggled to spit out a word.
“Freeloader.”
“Yeah, you said it yourself that we should help each other, I didn’t force you.” Xu Qingyan didn’t care, although he said so, he still took her hand.
Shen Jinyue suddenly stopped talking, happily changing the subject with her head bowed.
Dining out had beco a basic skill for Xu Qingyan.
It wasn’t really a date for him, but Shen Jinyue didn’t think so.
“Will you eat this?” She picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks.
Seeing Xu Qingyan staring at her face, Shen Jinyue beca timid and drew her chopsticks back, whispering.
“Why are you always staring at ?”
“Nothing, just wondering what you’re thinking.” Xu Qingyan didn’t have much of an appetite, took a sip of tea, his gaze sowhat drifting, these past days had been strangely off for him.
He had thought there would co a day when sothing would happen between them, after all, it was a natural progression of things, and he even thought about how to end it afterward, but he didn’t expect it to be like this.
In his imagination, it should have been Pei Muchan with teary eyes asking him, “What exactly are we now?
You scumbag, alright, I forgive you, Qingyan, go turn off the kettle in the kitchen.”
But in reality, Pei Muchan was silent, hiding like an ostrich in the face of his questioning.
Like when they first t, sporting a world-weary face, now mixed with a bit of guilt and sha.
One can only say that life is unpredictable, and with Lin Wanzhou, Xu Qingyan hadn’t really delved in.
Uncertain about Lin Wanzhou’s attitude towards defining their relationship, whether it was strong or…
Now there was an additional Shen Jinyue to consider, but he could ask her.
Clearing it up would be good, to prevent unrealistic fantasies on her part, to level with her sooner.
In another day or two, Lin Wanzhou should be back.
“What…
what thoughts, I don’t have any thoughts.” Shen Jinyue blinked, put down her chopsticks, “What are you referring to?”
“Our relationship.” Xu Qingyan put it bluntly.
“Ah?
That…
” Shen Jinyue beca uneasy, glancing around, and with a bitter face, she said, “I don’t know, whatever you say it is, I guess.”
“However, can you not let Sister Muchan and Sister Zhou Zhou know?”
“Oh, you and I having an affair.”
“Hmph!
You’re the one having an affair!” Shen Jinyue managed to toughen up, and while she thought about it, she softened again, “Then what about you, what do you think?”
“My thoughts?
You won’t tell anyone, right?” He asked suspiciously.
“Of course not, what do you take for!” Shen Jinyue puffed out her chest, “I…
I’m the most trustworthy person, I definitely won’t spill the beans!”
He didn’t care, he never intended to disclose everything.
“Fine, I’ll trust you this ti.” Xu Qingyan nodded and then said sothing that shocked Shen Jinyue, “After all, this secret of yours is enough to make you die of embarrassnt.”
“You!!
Don’t bring it up again!” Shen Jinyue’s face turned red instantly.
It’s true that a higher water content isn’t the fault of the waterlon; it’s just how nature has evolved.
“If we’re not going to bring it up, then I will,” Xu Qingyan coughed to clear his throat and organized his thoughts, “You know, I’ve always liked Pei Muchan.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinyue’s hands clenched unconsciously under the table.
Even though she had been ntally prepared, she still felt a twinge of loss at the mont she heard it.
The scales had never tipped in her favor, not once.
The next second, Xu Qingyan continued.
“I’ve always liked Lin Wanzhou too, as you know.”
“I don’t know!” The little loss that had been in Shen Jinyue’s heart instantly vanished, only to be replaced by shock, “You…
you-you-you, how can you be like this?”
Her eyes were wide with outrage, her hands itching for so kind of artifact to call scum of the century to account!
No, surely, this must be sothing out of a movie.
“What’s there to be agitated about?” Xu Qingyan glanced at her, his remark pushing Shen Jinyue back into her seat, “What you and I have done is hardly any different.”
“It’s not the sa, not the sa,” Shen Jinyue shook her head, murmuring to herself, “We’re both single, it was…
just an exchange.”
Xu Qingyan put down his teacup, calmly delivering another line.
“The wound of betrayal never heals, you and I are on the sa path, and you wouldn’t want your Sister Pei or Sister Zhouzhou to know, right?”
Shen Jinyue beca frantic, “How can you threaten ?”
“I’m not threatening you, just telling you the reality,” Xu Qingyan said earnestly, “Whatever ends up happening to isn’t your concern, even if I die up there I’ll still go through with it.”
“I can’t give up on your Sister Pei, and there’s also your Sister Zhouzhou, without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
I can’t split myself in two, so I have to have them both.”
Listening to his speech, which was shaless yet sincere and touching, Shen Jinyue was dumbfounded.
“You really are…
shaless.”
“That’s the situation, Shen Jinyue,” he said with an air of soone who has nothing to lose, “Continuing like this with will only hurt you, and I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“So I hope you’ll think it over, take your ti after you go back to school.
Whatever the conclusion is I can accept it, but if we keep going, I can’t guarantee your wholeness.”
Upon suddenly hearing this, Shen Jinyue blushed faintly, but she took his words to heart.
For the next two days, Xu Qingyan and Shen Jinyue stayed in the apartnt.
He had planned to go to the studio to work on the script, but fearing Shen Jinyue would be bored alone in the house, he simply decided to work online from the study.
Shen Jinyue played gas, watched movies, and snacked on the side, seemingly having already forgotten his earlier words.
The two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Qingyan drove Shen Jinyue back to Xinghai University.
Suddenly rembering Li Yang, he picked up so gifts on the way.
He casually called Li Yang, who had been on his own for a year—it seed she was a sophomore now, right?
“Hello?
Brother?”
“Yeah, I’m passing by your school and thought I’d bring you sothing and take you out for a al,” Xu Qingyan drove in, this ti in Lin Wanzhou’s Porsche Panara.
He didn’t want Shen Jinyue’s hair or anything like that to remain in his Audi.
If Pei Muchan noticed or realized, it wouldn’t be easy to explain.
Lin Wanzhou wouldn’t care about this; a casual remark would do.
Li Yang was in her dormitory; since her second year had started, they didn’t need to attend evening self-study anymore.
She’d made plans to dine with her roommates and then go to the library to study.
Receiving a call from Xu Qingyan took her by surprise.
“Oh, sure, in that case, I’ll just…”
“Just send your location, I’ve driven in,” Xu Qingyan tossed the gifts onto the passenger seat, “Do you have any urgent matters?
If not, I’ll arrive soon.”
“No… I’ve sent you my location,” Li Yang said.
“Okay, see you soon.”
A sleek black Porsche Panara slowly entered the campus, not standing out too much among the official sedans.
A closer look, however, would reveal its stunning streamlined body.
Not that it was easy to drive.
