I - what setbacks my feelings
Zheng Shuyi hadn't recovered from the shock brought to her by Qin Shiyue's "little uncle", and was stunned by Shi Yan's words.
She froze, blinked her eyes, her face full of confusion.
Qin Shiyue covered her forehead from the side, and didn't even look at her little uncle.
The heart said that I told you the situation to let you take advantage of the situation, not to tell you to play the straight ball like this.
What kind of setbacks have you suffered in your relationship? Is that the point? Straight man! !
Under heavy pressure, Qin Shiyue decided to shoulder the responsibility and stand up to break the rigid situation.
She used her thumb and forefinger to pinch out a fingernail-sized piece, and said, "Uncle, I was chatting with Sister Shuyi, she just suffered a little setback, it's not—"
Zheng Shuyi: "...?"
It turned out to be like this.
Qin Shiyue's sister really... can't do anything, digging a hole for her is really a world-class champion.
However, Qin Shiyue didn't break the scene, and her own explanation was interrupted.
Shi Yan completely ignored her desire to lighten the atmosphere, and didn't even look at her. His gaze fell directly on Zheng Shuyi, and he said, "Go back to your room."
This sentence was naturally addressed to Qin Shiyue.
Instead, it made the atmosphere even more tense.
Although Qin Shiyue didn't understand why Shi Yan's sentence "What's your emotional setback?" would make her feel a sense of tension that was approaching a sword.
But she knew she couldn't stay here any longer.
"Oh, then I'll go back first..."
After finishing speaking, none of the two of them gave her a look, and they were still immersed in the subtle tension.
It seemed that there was an invisible fuse between the two, and whoever reached out and flicked it would instantly ignite the air.
After recognizing the situation clearly, Qin Shiyue fled with a whimper.
But before entering the elevator, she couldn't help turning her head, and happened to see Shi Yan holding Zheng Shuyi's hand and walking towards the corridor.
—
The promenade of the hotel is built around the mountains, with no walls in the open air, gurgling water on the side, and exquisite wooden street lamps hanging above the head.
In such an elegant environment, Shi Yan was very impatient, ignoring Zheng Shuyi's struggle, and coldly pulled her towards the end of the corridor.
Zheng Shuyi felt like his wrist was about to break.
This was secondary, mainly because she didn't know what storm she was going to face next.
If it wasn't for the customers coming and going in the corridor, she would have just lingered regardless of her image.
But with Shi Yan's strength at the moment, Zheng Shuyi couldn't help but bluff, and even had to trot and stagger all the way to keep up with his footsteps.
At the end of the corridor is the hot spring hotel's own bar.
Just after dusk, the ambiguous lights in the bar flickered.
Only sporadic guests sat and chatted in low voices, and the bartender quietly wiped the glasses at the bar.
Shi Yan strode in, picked a sofa at random, and pulled Zheng Shuyi in front of him.
Just as Zheng Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, someone pressed his shoulders, "thumped", and sat down in the corner of the sofa.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Yan stepped in, kicked off the table, and sat down in front of her.
Zheng Shuyi subconsciously wanted to stand up, and he immediately stretched out one leg, straddling Zheng Shuyi's face, his movements did not conform to his usual gentle image, but effectively formed a closed circle, blocking her way to hide.
Shi Yan bent his elbow, leaned against the back of the sofa, and raised his chin towards Zheng Shuyi.
"Come on, now you can tell me how I frustrate you."
Zheng Shuyi: "...?"
After a while, Zheng Shuyi figured out the current situation with his remaining rationality.
Qin Shiyue said that she was frustrated emotionally, and Shi Yan naturally understood that she was frustrated with him.
That…
If she said she was frustrated by others, she might have to walk out of this hotel sideways.
Zheng Shuyi clenched his fists, trying to drag Qin Shiyue out for a fight.
After a while, Zheng Shuyi's thin and cowardly voice sounded: "It's, it's not a big deal. Didn't I misunderstand that you fell in love with Qin Shiyue before? I feel bad, and today I know that you are with her Wake up Qing'an, I...I feel bad."
As Zheng Shuyi talked, he really got into the drama, looking like weeping.
Who cares, the 15th thing will be solved on the 15th, and we will talk about it after living through the first day of junior high school.
But when she looked up, she saw Shi Yan's expression of watching her performance, obviously not believing it at all.
"Now that I know that you are relatives, if I had told you earlier, I wouldn't have thought so much." Zheng Shuyi put away that expression, and said with a dry smile, "I'm fine now, and my setbacks are gone."
After speaking, she nervously waited for Shi Yan's response.
However, Shi Yan just looked at her quietly. The hazy table lamp reflected a gentle warm yellow, lying between the eyes of the two, like a calm spring, carrying Shi Yan's emotional eyes.
It's not that he couldn't see Zheng Shuyi's strangeness, and he wouldn't believe what he said.
But--
Sometimes he really has nothing to do with Zheng Shuyi.
Xiao Jiujiu, who knew she was full of brains, always compromised again and again.
Anyway, no matter what she did, it was still within his tolerable range.
After a long time, he sighed silently, retracted the legs that were blocking Zheng Shuyi, and leaned closer to her.
Zheng Shuyi was so nervous that he tightened his sleeves.
Fortunately, Shi Yan just adjusted his posture, changed to a comfortable sitting position, and looked down at Zheng Shuyi.
"You said it so sincerely," Shi Yan said with an inauthentic smile, "So you like me that much?"
Zheng Shuyi's fingers trembled slightly.
Good question.
Good enough to just bury her.
"I… "
She was so nervous that her palms were getting hot, and her voice was a little erratic, "I am indeed a small-minded person."
"Don't avoid answering."
Shi Yan suddenly raised his hand to support the back of her head, breaking her thoughts of avoiding staring at each other, "Say, how much you like me."
The sound of the music seemed to be drifting far away at this moment, Zheng Shuyi only heard Shi Yan's question.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Shi Yan changed his questioning method.
He moved closer, lowered his voice, with a hint of bewitching, only Zheng Shuyi could hear: "Compared with your ex-boyfriend, do you like him more, or do you like me more?"
What option is this
Can she choose neither
Obviously, she didn't dare.
With the last desire to survive, Zheng Shuyi jumped out word by word: "Of course it's you."
After getting this answer, Shi Yan seemed to be pleased, he curled his lips and smiled softly.
The palm on the back of Zheng Shuyi's head slid down and brushed her hair.
"Yeah." He said softly, with Zheng Shuyi's face reflected in his pupils, "I believe you this time."
Zheng Shuyi's eyes flickered, and then he moved closer.
"Then when did you only like me?"
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
Zheng Shuyi felt that she was about to suffocate.
These are some death questions.
Under the extremely tense situation, her face blushed layer by layer, and even her breath slapped Shi Yan's face in disorder.
Seeing her like this, Shi Yan slowly let go of her hand, sat up straight, and gave her room to breathe.
But Zheng Shuyi didn't feel relieved at all.
On the contrary, it was Shi Yan's sentence that made her realize more clearly that he is a man with absolute possessive desire.
If he finds out——
Zheng Shuyi looked up at the street lights outside the window.
It's over.
Such a beautiful night scene, I am afraid I will never see it again.
Fortunately, at this time, Zheng Shuyi's cell phone rang, she grabbed it out in a panic, and connected it immediately.
Shi Yan turned his body sideways, leaving room for her to answer the phone alone.
On the other end of the phone is Zheng Shuyi's father.
"Yiyi, are you going home tonight? If you don't go home, your mother and I won't stay in the door."
Zheng Shuyi's voice was a little flustered: "Come back, I will definitely go back."
"It's okay, you and your friends can play outside for a while longer."
"Well, I'll be home right away, don't worry."
"What?"
After finishing speaking, Zheng Shuyi immediately hung up the phone and looked at Shi Yan.
"My dad is here to pick me up, I'm going home."
Shi Yan looked at her with great interest and smiled: "So good? You have to go home after dark?"
Zheng Shuyi nodded stiffly.
After a while, Shi Yan retracted his legs.
Zheng Shuyi stood up and just passed in front of him when he grabbed his wrist.
"Then why don't you show your kindness to the landlord tomorrow?"
"what?"
Zheng Shuyi was stunned.
Shi Yan looked up at her with direct eyes, "You don't know, I came to Qing'an for you, right?"
—
After Zheng Shuyi left, Shi Yan sat in the bar for a while and ordered a Mojito.
The number of customers gradually increased, and the bar turned off the music player.
The spotlight next to the bar was turned on, and a middle-aged man with a ponytail sat quietly next to the stand microphone with a guitar.
There was a bit of noise in the bar, but when his voice sounded, everyone's attention was attracted by him, and they all turned their heads.
"Look at me like I am crazy,
When I shout out my feelings out."
"lookatmelikeIamdifferent,
Still you take it for something real."
The male voice is deep and mellow, and the voice with experience sinks the simple lyrics into lingering love.
The couple sitting in the bar listened intently to his singing and slowly cuddled together.
Amidst the gentle music, Zheng Shuyi's face appeared in Shi Yan's mind.
When she acted coquettishly, when she played a rascal, when she was nervous, when she was angry...
She always has a lot of emotions, but Shi Yan seems to have never seen her calm and gentle.
So I want to bring her here, and I want to hear her whispering in my ear.
A song ended in a flash, and the room burst into applause.
Shi Yan put down his glass suddenly, got up and walked towards the bar.
—
When he left the bar, Tiantian had just gone dark, but Shi Yan came to Qing'an unprepared, and had no other important matters, so he was going back to his room to rest.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw the driver, Fan Lei, standing at the door of his room with a hesitant face. He wanted to raise his hand twice to ring the doorbell, but in the end he didn't.
"Is something wrong?"
Shi Yan's sudden noise startled Fan Lei.
When he came back to his senses, he said nervously, "Mr. Shi, I came here specially to apologize for what happened to my niece."
This afternoon, when Zheng Shuyi was going through life and death, he was not idle.
After leaving at noon, Qin Lezhi and Yue Xingzhou fell apart and had a big quarrel. They definitely couldn't stay in his house anymore.
And she was helpless in Qing'an alone, so she could only cry and call her uncle.
It happened that Shi Yan had no plans to travel today, so Fan Lei went to accompany Qin Lezhi to find a hotel to stay.
Along the way, Qin Lezhi cried and told him the whole story.
Fan Lei didn't want to care about the mess between the few of them, but he knew very clearly that Qin Lezhi had completely offended Zheng Shuyi.
And he drives Shi Yan every day, usually watching his eyes and nose in the driver's seat, but he is very clear about Zheng Shuyi's position in Shi Yan.
It would be fine if Shi Yan held grudges against Qin Lezhi, her family was fairly well-to-do, even if she lost her job, she could live a good life back home.
But Fan Lei is different, he can't rely on the Qin family, and he has no skills, if he is angered by Shi Yan and loses this clean and easy job with a good salary, he really doesn't know what to do.
So after thinking about it, he felt that he still had to make a statement.
Shi Yan glanced at his watch and saw that it was still early, so he said, "Say it."
Fan Lei mulled over his words, and said simply: "My niece is not sensible, and it has indeed affected the relationship between Ms. Zheng and her ex-boyfriend before. I have told her about this, and she also knows that she is wrong, and she has already broken up with that man. Yes, I will ask her to apologize to Miss Zheng for this matter later, and then—"
Shi Yan interrupted him suddenly: "Apologize? And let Shuyi and her ex-boyfriend rekindle their old relationship?"
"what?"
Fan Lei realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately shook his head, "That's not what I mean, then the old relationship will definitely not rekindle, that ex-boyfriend is too bad, Miss Zheng is reining in the precipice."
The focus of Shi Yan has never been consistent with Fan Lei. He nodded and asked, "Why isn't her ex-boyfriend a thing?"
In fact, Fan Lei can tell that, like women, as men, "ex-boyfriend" is also a thorn in the throat.
At this time, the most beneficial direction for him is to belittle Yue Xingzhou vigorously, so that the time will be more comfortable and he will be better off.
"I really love vanity to the extreme." Fan Lei frowned, "As a man, he doesn't want to work hard on his own, he just wants to take a shortcut to reach the sky, thinking that you are..."
Having said that, he suddenly got stuck.
Seems like saying too much...
Shi Yan was very displeased with this sudden pause.
"What do you think?"
Fan Lei was heartbroken, thinking that speaking out might divert the flames of war.
"It's just a misunderstanding. He thought you were Lele's uncle, so he dumped Miss Zheng and stayed with Lele."
After finishing speaking, the person on the opposite side remained silent for a long time.
Fan Lei looked like a light on his back.
He knows that he is not a smart person and often says the wrong thing, so he tries not to speak when he is working.
At this moment, Shi Yan didn't speak a word, and his heart immediately became half cold.
It seems that I have misunderstood this trick again.
He nervously went to see Shi Yan, and sure enough, he saw that his face was very ugly.
Normally, the pair of glasses looked cold and repulsive, but now his gloomy eyes made people shudder even more.
"So that's how it is."
After a long time, Shi Yan said this sentence as if he was talking to himself.
Fan Lei was trembling, not knowing whether he should continue talking.
"he… "
"Understood." Shi Yan squinted his eyes and said nothing else, "Go and rest."
—
Fan Lei left, but Shi Yan stood in the corridor for a long time.
The leaves were projected onto the wall by the lights, and when the wind blew, the black shadows swayed randomly.
Shi Yan knew that his guess at the moment was absurd, but just like the shadow on the wall at this time, no matter how messy it was, it was also a real projection, and it did not appear out of thin air.
What's more, such an absurd conjecture, on the contrary, matched all the facts.
With Zheng Shuyi here, is there any absurd thing she can't do
So she came close to him for that "niece", and it was completely something she could do.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan suddenly smiled.
He thought she wanted money and power, but it turned out not to be.
From beginning to end, she just wanted to use him to achieve her own revenge.
At this time, behind him was a hotel waiter pushing a dining car past Shi Yan.
"Sir, please make room here."
Shi Yan turned sideways, his gaze fell on the waiter's face.
The waiter was taken aback by the look in his eyes, thinking that he would offend this master by delivering a meal.
In the next second, Shi Yan came back to his senses and took out the room card.
With a beep, the door opened.
Shi Yan didn't go in, he lowered his head and looked at the ground silently.
After a while, he turned and walked to another room.
—
At this time, Qin Shiyue had just made a facial mask and was about to order a supper. When she heard the doorbell, she thought that the hotel had sent something on her own initiative, so she ran to open the door barefoot.
"Who is it?"
When she opened the door, she saw Shi Yan standing at the door.
"Uncle?"
Shi Yan took a step forward, forcing Qin Shiyue to retreat again and again.
As his niece, Qin Shiyue has lived with him for so many years and is very sensitive to his emotional changes.
For example, at this moment, although Shi Yan didn't speak, Qin Shiyue could feel the chilly air all around.
what happened
"Why are you here... Sister Shuyi... have you left?"
Holding the door with one hand, Shi Yan stared at Qin Shiyue for a long time.
Shi Yan didn't let out a "huh" until he saw her startled.
Qin Shiyue took another step back: "Oh...then what can you do with me?"
"It's nothing." Shi Yan's tone was light and airy, but that posture revealed a sense of oppression.
He lowered his head and suppressed Qin Shiyue with his absolute height advantage, so as to force her to tell the truth, "I can't take advantage of it, what should I do?"
"what?"
Qin Shiyue's jaw almost dropped in shock.
Her little uncle actually admitted to "taking advantage of the situation".
Would he even say such... embarrassing things to her
"How, how is it possible?"
Qin Shiyue decided to increase his self-confidence, "Little uncle, you are so good, there is no one better than you in the whole world, if you work a little harder, it will be easy to catch."
"Really?" Shi Yan squinted at Qin Shiyue, carefully watching her expression, "She has someone in her heart, how can I work hard?"
"what?!"
Qin Shiyue was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize, "Ah, you said this."
She frowned and thought about it, and felt that she really broke her heart for her little uncle, and hoped that he would remember this feeling.
"She did chase other men before, but don't worry, little uncle, that's not true love, she has other reasons. Didn't she give up, it's your good chance."
"Yeah." Shi Yan said lightly, "It's really like this."
Qin Shiyue nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, as long as you-"
Without saying a word, the door was slammed shut, and Qin Shiyue's mask almost fell off in fright.
"What the hell..." Qin Shiyue touched her cheek and whispered, "Did you come to uncle..."
—
Outside the door, Shi Yan's cell phone rang along with the sound of closing the door.
It was the lobby manager at the bar downstairs.
"Hello, is this Mr. Shi? I'm the manager of the bar. Let me confirm with you again. Is it reserved from 8:00 to 2:00 tomorrow night?"
"Sir? Are you listening?"
"gentlemen?"
A few seconds later, Shi Yan's calm voice rang through the phone.
"no need."
