Ye Yan lay on the bed with his arms folded behind his head, staring at the ceiling for a long time before he finally stopped moving. He turned sideways and took out the old photo in the drawer. His eyes fell on one of the girls, and there was a bit of complexity in his eyes.
Could it be her on the phone? If it was her, why was she in Country S? How is she doing now? Does what happened five years ago still have a shadow on her now
For the first time ever, Ye Yan wanted to go to bed early and get up early, but he lay in bed the whole night like a pancake and hardly slept all night.

In the early morning, when no one in the 4S shop was working yet, Ye Yan had already driven the car to the parking lot in front. He didn't sleep much the previous night, and he still didn't feel sleepy. He stared at the entrance of the garage, and looked at his watch from time to time. After waiting for half an hour, his patience had reached its limit. He began to feel sleepy, and his fingers tapped the steering wheel intermittently.
Until one minute before half past eight, the BMW that had been deformed by his collision slowly drove to the garage entrance. The car window was lowered, and Qianqian's delicate hand reached out from the car window, took out the card, swiped the gate, and drove in.
After just a few seconds of looking at the side profile, Ye Yan's sleepiness had completely disappeared. For a long time, his sight seemed to be possessed, and he could only follow the BMW.
after a little while…
He suddenly came back to his senses when his cell phone rang.
He grabbed the phone and saw the word "Shu" flashing on the screen. He looked at the car parked opposite him and saw the girl getting out of the car while talking on the phone.
Ye Yan answered the phone and put it to his ear, "Hello."
"Are you there yet?"
He pushed open the car door and walked down, "Look up and you'll see me."
When Shu Nian heard this, he said "Huh", and looked up, and saw a dazzling young man. His expression was wild and dazzling, more dazzling than the blazing sun.
The other person got out of the sports car and did not approach her immediately. Instead, he stood at a distance not too far from her, staring at her intently.
Shu Nian just felt that this person was somewhat familiar. In his memory, there were very few people who gave people a sense of uninhibited and frivolousness even if they did nothing but just stood there. There was almost no need to think too much.
"Ye Yan?" Shu Nian was surprised.
Hearing her call out his name accurately, Ye Yan's heart was moved, and he felt an indescribable sense of relief. At least, this girl was not so heartless as to forget him completely. She still had some heart for him.
He hung up the phone, walked towards her heroically, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Remember me?"
It's really hard to ask people not to remember such a famous person. Shu Nian smiled and put his phone into his bag, "I should be the one who's surprised. Do you still remember me?"
To be honest, Shu Nian didn't want to run into any of her former classmates. What happened that year shocked the whole school. For her, it wasn't just her life hanging by a thread, but her self-esteem, reputation, dreams and future as a girl were all destroyed that year.
That was a memory she couldn't bear to look back on.
She felt like she was carrying a turtle shell on her back, shrinking herself inside the seemingly hard shell, not wanting anyone around her to know about her past embarrassment.
Fortunately, Ye Yan had transferred to another school before that incident, which made her feel a little less burdened.
Ye Yan's eyes were still fixed on her. "You rejected me in front of so many classmates, sent me to a mental hospital, and made me lose face. Do you think I can forget about you so easily?"
Sure enough, Ye Yan is still the same Ye Yan.
I remember everything clearly.
Shu Nian joked, "You didn't crash the car on purpose to get revenge on me, did you?"
Ye Yan smiled, but did not deny it. He just lowered his head and moved closer to her. "I said I bumped into her on purpose. Do you believe me?"
This sudden approach made Shu Nian instantly enveloped by the man's tall figure. Under the morning light, the shadow cast by his tall figure was like a net. Shu Nian instinctively took a step back, her body unconsciously tensed. When she came to her senses, she found that Ye Yan was staring at her inquiringly.
She realized her own gaffe, adjusted her hair, twitched her lips, and pretended to be relaxed, "Let's go in and assess the damage first. Someone is already at work."
Ye Yan pursed his thin lips, then nodded.
Shu Nian walked in first. Ye Yan's eyes followed her figure.
Five years later, Shu Nian had lost her youthfulness. She was wearing a washed T-shirt and jeans, which had been washed many times, but they were clean and tidy, not shabby.
Her long hair is still tied into a ponytail, revealing her elegant white neck. The 23-year-old girl has become more mature than the girl she once was.
I don’t know if it’s because of those unique experiences, or something else, but there’s a coolness and indifference in his eyes, or even... caution, and a vicissitude that shouldn’t be there at this age.
Ye Yan thought of how alert she was just now, like a frightened bird, and felt a little tight in his chest. What had she experienced over the years that made her so afraid of strangers

While Ye Yan was still thinking, Shu Nian had already come out again, accompanied by the damage assessor from the 4S shop.
"It was hit pretty hard. It's deformed like this. The correction and painting will cost tens of thousands of dollars. If there are any parts that need to be replaced, you'll have to pay extra." The appraiser walked around the car, looking here and there.
"Just change to the best one." Ye Yan glanced at Shu Nian, "Where are the car keys?"
"Here." Shu Nian took out the car keys and Ye Yan threw them directly to the loss assessor. "Send the bill to YT Company. I'll take you wherever you go."
The last sentence was said to Shu Nian.
Shu Nian shook his head subconsciously, "No need, I can just take a taxi myself."
"It's rush hour now, how can it be so easy to get a taxi?"
Shu Nianyuan glanced at the road ahead, then looked at her watch, her brows furrowed. She couldn't be late, or she would be fined.
"Okay, get in the car." Ye Yan didn't give her a chance to hesitate, and directly pulled her and stuffed her into his car. Shu Nian struggled several times, but failed to break free, so she got into the car helplessly. When Ye Yan closed the car door, he could still see that her other hand was holding the hand he had just pulled her with, and her whole body was tense.
Ye Yan felt quite unhappy.
Sitting in the driver's seat, he leaned over when she didn't move. The man's breath approached with warmth, and Shu Nian was startled. She almost immediately raised her hand and pressed it against his chest.
"What do you want to do?" Shu Nian's eyes showed a hint of panic that could not be concealed.
"What do you think I want to do?" Ye Yan asked back, his eyes deep and staring at her tightly.
