Shu Nian bit her lip, exhaled heavily, and pushed the door of the study open again. Holding the quilt, she walked towards him step by step.
As the distance got closer, Shu Nian felt more and more that something was wrong.
There is an unpleasant, choking smell in the air.
This kind of smell has never appeared on Ye Yan before.
It smells like tobacco.
He never smoked before!
Shu Nian quickened his pace and walked around to the window. He looked towards Ye Yan and was stunned when he saw him.
He was actually smoking.
The lit cigarette butt was between his two slender fingers. The smoke rose up, blurring his entire outline. However, the gloomy emotions were clearly visible.
There was no ashtray at home, so he temporarily used a crystal basin that was originally placed in the study to flick the ash. There were already several extinguished cigarette butts in it.
"You...what's wrong?" Shu Nian came back to his senses and asked hesitantly.
Ye Yan was silent, and didn't even move his fingers, as if he didn't hear Shu Nian's voice at all. Shu Nian frowned slightly, and reached out to take the cigarette butt from between his fingers. It seemed that this finally released the acupoints on Ye Yan's body. However, he just raised his eyelids coldly and stared at her. That look made Shu Nian's heart frightened, and her hands became a little weak.
She put out the cigarette butt into the crystal dish. "Didn't you not know how to smoke before?"
She looked at him worriedly again, "Did something happen?"
Ye Yan snorted and laughed, leaning back in his chair, looking at her lazily. There seemed to be a smile on the corner of his lips, but the sharp cold light flashed from his eyes, "So you used to pretend to obey but actually disobey?"
Shu Nian looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant. However, his words were very targeted.
Ye Yan suddenly stood up. He was tall and this standing up brought a strong sense of oppression. Shu Nian subconsciously took a step back holding the thin blanket. Before she could figure out the situation, Ye Yan grabbed a box from the table and threw it at her feet.
"You're pretending to be well behaved in front of me, but in fact, you've already quietly prepared a way out for yourself! Shu Nian, you're quite capable!"
Shu Nian's expression changed slightly. He gently put the blanket down and then squatted down to pick up the things. When he saw the word "passport" on the express box, his breathing tightened a little.
After she gave up her previous rental, she called the Public Security Bureau to change her address, guessing that Ye Yan would see it sooner or later...
She would say it sooner or later.
Everything has to be faced eventually.
The courier box was empty. The passport had been taken out. Shu Nian asked in a low voice, "Did you take this passport?"
"When was this done?" Ye Yan did not answer, but asked with a stern face.
Shu Nian answered honestly: "The day after you took your passport away."
Ye Yan snorted and laughed, "So... you're planning to hide it from me, take the passport, and leave on your own?"
Shu Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly, "I... I originally had this idea."
Ye Yan was shocked.
Although I had guessed that her answer would be like this, my heart ached when I heard her say it so honestly.
His eyes stared at her viciously, as if the woman in front of him was a heartless, hateful and unfaithful person.
"Originally? Well, what about now?!"
Now…
Shu Nian slowly stood up. Perhaps she felt guilty, or perhaps she couldn't face Ye Yan's cold and fierce look at her. She kept her eyes down and didn't look at him. "I want to make it clear to you today..."
"Why did you say it today?"
Shu Nian pinched his fingers into his palm.
"Today... the school approved it."
After hearing this, Ye Yan actually laughed, "You really thought that I couldn't do anything to you just because the review was passed, so you chose this time to talk to me, right?"
This woman is so terribly rational!
She had clearly received the notice, but she had been smiling and talking to him for the past 10 days without saying a word! She had never even asked him for a passport! She even dared to look forward to the future with him!
He even suspected now that all this was a lie she had told him, a temporary act she put on for him to trick him!
Facing his questions one by one, Shu Nian's eyes were filled with soreness. Finally, he nodded honestly and sighed "yes" sullenly.
Even though he knew the answer, Ye Yan was still furious. He took a step closer, pinched her chin with his long fingers, and clenched his teeth, "I ask you, have you ever thought about - even for a moment, not going there!"
He pinched Shu Nian's chin so hard that it turned white.
She felt pain.
The pain went straight into her bones and then into her heart. It was so stuffy that she felt a little breathless.
She wanted to tell him right away. Of course she had thought about it! For more than just a moment!
She thought as he held her and said she had never been homeless.
She thought as she stuffed her clothes into his closet;
She thought as he went to his house with the presents;
When he was concentrating and carefully trimming his father's nails, she was even crazier and couldn't help thinking...
She opened her lips, but her throat was dry. These words kept turning in her mind, and she didn't know where to start.
However, in Ye Yan's opinion, such silence was simply the strongest stimulation, the sharpest blade, piercing his heart. He had given his feelings for a long time, and thought he had found resonance and response, but in the end, he found that what the other party gave him was far less than what he expected. The love in his heart turned into a deeper hatred.
"I should have seen it long ago. You are a heartless, ungrateful and extremely boring woman! Shu Nian, do you really think that I, Ye Yan, really must have you? You dare not tell me that you want to leave because you are afraid that I will beg you to stay?" Ye Yan said sarcastically, with endless hurt in his eyes, but his face showed his inherent stubborn pride, "Don't take yourself too seriously. I, Ye Yan, have never wanted charity from any woman, including you!"
Shu Nian explained anxiously: "I have never been..."
"Don't you want to leave? Take your passport and go as far as possible!" Ye Yan interrupted him. He pulled out his passport from somewhere, and while Shu Nian was stunned, he opened the window and threw the passport out with force.
"Ye Yan!" Shu Nian exclaimed and rushed over, but it was too late.
The passport book was blown away by the wind and into the heavy rain.
Shu Nian's eyes turned red, "Ye Yan, you're going too far!"
He tightened his fingers, ignoring her damn red eyes, and not caring about his own instantly confused heart because of those red eyes. He turned his face away coldly, pretending not to see it. But the next moment, Shu Nian suddenly opened the door of the study and rushed out with his head down.
