Cheng Yuelin never said anything. After coming out of the school, the two ate something casually nearby, and then went back to the hotel.
Ruan Zhiyin noticed that Cheng Yuelin seemed to have suppressed her emotions since she arrived in Jiahong, but whenever she asked him, the man raised her question with a condescending attitude.
She didn't know how to get rid of his hard mouth.
…
The next day, Dean Yu called early in the morning, saying that yesterday the child named Yuan Yuan heard that after she had swept the tomb today, she would leave Xu County tomorrow, and specially prepared a gift for her.
So, before setting off to visit the dean's grave, Cheng Yuelin first drove her to the orphanage.
At the door, Ruan Zhiyin opened the door and got out of the car, went to Dean Yu to get something, Cheng Yuelin sat in the car and waited for her.
In the orphanage, the children had just finished breakfast, and they were all playing in the yard, smiling face after face.
Ruan Zhiyin took out her mobile phone and just wanted to call Dean Yu when she saw Dean Yu talking to a young man not far away.
The other party saw her out of the corner of his mouth, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to greet her: "Sister Zhiyin."
The person who spoke to Dean Yu was Zhou Hongfei.
"So Hongfei and Miss Ruan know each other?"
Dean Yu on the side seemed a little surprised.
Zhou Hongfei, who was studying at a university in China, had come back a lot over the years, and he was more familiar with Dean Yu than Ruan Zhiyin, who only spoke on the phone.
Realizing that Dean Yu didn't know the inside story, Zhou Hongfei just nodded: "It's an acquaintance."
Nothing else is explained.
When Ruan Zhiyin returned to Ruan's house, Dean Chen asked her not to go back to the orphanage again. She didn't want her growing up in the orphanage to be repeatedly mentioned, and she couldn't avoid being accused and pointed, which would affect her life.
Dean Yu glanced at the two of them with a wink, and then said, "Then you two talk first, and I'll call Yuan Yuan."
As the dean walked away, Ruan Zhiyin looked around a few times, but did not see Jiang Xueying, so she asked with a smile, "Where's Xueying?"
"We only arrived this morning. She was too motion sick and lacked energy. I asked her to rest in the hotel. It happened that the phone was out of power. I was afraid that the dean would be waiting, so I came first."
Zhou Hongfei explained briefly, then looked at her with a smile: "Sister Zhiyin, are you from Xu County by yourself?"
Ruan Zhiyin shook her head: "No, with my husband, when you are free another day, I will introduce you to each other well."
Even though Cheng Yuelin had eaten some vinegar out of nothing because of Zhou Hongfei, the two had never met.
Zhou Hongfei knew before that Ruan Zhiyin was married, but he didn't know who the other party was. Now he asked casually, "Is that the gentleman who called the dean?"
Ruan Zhiyin was slightly startled, then shook her head gently: "No."
Zhou Hongfei listened, glanced at her expression, and retracted what he wanted to say.
While speaking, Dean Yu led Yuan Yuan over and interrupted the conversation between the two.
Yuan Yuan still looked shy, and hid behind the dean timidly, and handed Ruan Zhiyin a card, which was a greeting card she painted by herself.
Ruan Zhiyin had a gentle smile in her eyes, reached out to take it, and patted her head: "It's a beautiful painting, thank you Yuanyuan."
Yuan Yuanchao smiled at her, revealing her white and small teeth, and then embarrassedly hid behind Dean Yu.
After a while, a girl ran up to Yuan Yuan, said a few words in her ear, and pulled Yuan Yuan to run away together.
Dean Yu looked at the two children playing in the yard, and explained to Ruan Zhiyin: "Yuan Yuan was abducted and sold, and only came to the orphanage for a few months. She still had some impressions of her parents. Every time an adult came to the courtyard, she would run out. Take a peek to see if it's your own parents. It's strange, she usually doesn't like to talk, but she's kinder to you."
"Maybe it's fate."
Her and Yuan Yuan's experiences overlap somewhat.
After Ruan Zhiyin finished speaking, she glanced at the greeting card in her hand.
A girl in a dress and a man in a suit.
Although the graffiti on the greeting card is very simple, it can be seen that the two people above are her and Cheng Yuelin.
After taking the greeting card, she thought that Cheng Yuelin was still waiting for her at the door, and after a brief chat, she said goodbye to the dean and Zhou Hongfei.
When she was about to walk out of the corridor of the cafeteria, someone stopped her from behind.
Ruan Zhiyin turned her head, it was Zhou Hongfei.
"Sister Zhiyin." The other party strode up to her and asked politely, "If it's convenient, can you help me ask Mr. Ren for his grandfather's address?"
"Mr. Ren?" Ruan Zhiyin frowned, her eyes showing doubts.
Zhou Hongfei nodded: "Well, his grandfather is the old director of Jiahong Hospital. I accidentally heard that Mr. Ren was ill and wanted to visit him when he returned to Jiahong in two days. After all, Mr. Ren helped Chen Yuan back then. Long, also has some connections with me."
When he got off the plane, Zhou Hongfei saw the Mr. Ren who had sent President Chen to the hospital, but he didn't dare to recognize it for a while, so he just missed it.
Ruan Zhiyin clenched her fingertips when she heard the words.
The next second, she pursed her lower lip tightly, raised her eyebrows, and her voice seemed to tremble: "The Mr. Ren you are talking about, do you know his name?"
Zhou Hongfei was a little surprised: "If I remember correctly, it should be Ren Huai."
…
After coming out of the orphanage alone, Ruan Zhiyin got into the car parked at the door with a trance of thoughts.
Seeing that she got into the car with empty eyes, Cheng Yuelin frowned in confusion, but after looking at the time on the car screen, she still called out the navigation to Fuanshan first.
But the car just drove a few hundred meters before it slowly pulled over to the side of the road.
"Ruan 嘤嘤, is this not letting me drive?"
Cheng Yuelin let out a small snort, lowered his eyes, and looked helplessly at the man who was hugging him tightly and leaning on his shoulder.
Ruan Zhiyin didn't let go, she stopped for a while, raised her eyes to look at him, and said in a low voice, "But I want to hold you now, so... can you let me hold you and drive?"
Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows, smiled, unfastened the seat belt with his free hand, wrapped his two long arms, and carried her to his lap, with teasing in his voice: "Isn't it okay to come yesterday, Why did you go in today and act coquettishly when you came out?"
Ruan Zhiyin looked at his handsome brows flatly, and slowly put her hand on his profile, her voice a little light: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Huh? Tell you what?"
He looked at her with drooping eyelids, in a casual tone.
Ruan Zhiyin paused, and when she spoke, she was already in a straightforward and affirmative tone: "The Jade Buddha I received that Christmas was sent to me by you entrusting Dean Chen to send it to me."
Dean Chen's funeral was also arranged by him. Ren Huai was his friend, and it was only because of him that he helped.
"why did not you tell me?"
She asked again stubbornly.
Cheng Yuelin finally understood her emotions, smiled helplessly, and rubbed her head: "At first, I thought it was unnecessary."
The jade Buddha was handed over by He Xiaolan because she was too guilty when she saw that Yang Xue had been expelled from school by him.
After getting it, he thought about giving it back to Ruan Zhiyin, but turned around and saw that she was wearing another piece, which was given by Qin Jue. So I got angry and didn't want to give it to her again.
Later, I met Gu Linlang by chance, and found that the other party also carried a jade Buddha, and only vaguely understood that it was given by their dean.
When he asked Dean Chen to send it to her, he also understood Ruan Zhiyin's personality and knew that she would not fall in love with him just because she gave him a piece of jade Buddha, but she would feel that she owed him, which would only add to her troubles.
He couldn't bear her guilt.
I don't want her to feel guilty for him.
What's more, at that time, he couldn't get to her side.
Hearing his understatement, Ruan Zhiyin stared at the man's dark eyes, her eyes were a little wet, her head was buried in his neck, and she muttered, "A Lin, I'm sorry."
"Apologize for what?"
"That's right, I kept you waiting for a long time."
She really won't fall in love with Cheng Yuelin simply because she owes him favors, and may even choose to escape after making up for it.
But now that she knew that it was him, Ruan Zhiyin felt sour and distressed, and at the same time, she felt that it was nice to be him.
Ruan Zhiyin hoped that someone would love her unreservedly, but she really got it, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for his unknown sacrifices in those years alone.
When he heard Ren Huai's name from Zhou Hongfei's mouth, the sour emotion in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Cheng Yuelin had long known that she had misunderstood.
And she didn't even realize his emotions at that time.
"Then why didn't you say anything later?"
Ruan Zhiyin stubbornly thought that if she had known it, it might have been different. At least, he won't let him carry these emotions alone.
Cheng Yuelin was silent for a while.
Why not say it
Probably afraid that she will only increase the pressure like she is now.
He sighed and took her into his arms: "Why did you wipe my tears again? You think I have more scheming and want to wait for you to find out for yourself. Ruan 嘤嘤, will you—"
"Love me more? Huh?"
Ruan Zhiyin shook her head, seeing that he raised her eyebrows, looked straight at her, and said with a smile, "More than a little."
She also wanted to give him the same deep love, and didn't want him to unilaterally make her love her so dearly.
Cheng Yuelin hooked his lower lip, leaned close to her ear, and said meaningfully, "Sure, then you can make up for it in the evening."
Compensation is self-evident.
Ruan Zhiyin's face turned red: "Cheng Yuelin, I'm talking to you about something serious."
No matter how casual he was, he pulled the atmosphere away again.
"What I said is the most serious thing."
Ruan Zhiyin met his graceful and wandering eyes, her originally astringent emotions helplessly faded, and the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't be shed.
Cheng Yuelin smiled and sighed in his heart.
The tears finally stopped, how could he let her be sad.
After calming down, Ruan Zhiyin held up his face with serious seriousness in her eyes: "Why are you unhappy these days?"
She could sense the emotions he had buried in her heart, but he never told her the reason.
Cheng Yuelin's eyelids drooped: "Ruan 嘤嘤, then tell me first, why do you like me now?"
Ruan Zhiyin was stunned, her brows brooding in thought.
a short while—
She raised her eyes to look at him: "You are so kind."
If the lover's eyes see Xi Shi, the best is in front of her, why doesn't she like the best of him
Cheng Yuelin narrowed his eyes, and his deep eyes concealed exploration: "If someone else was so nice to you, would you like it? Or, if you found out that I wasn't that nice, would you still like me?"
The result now starts from his step-by-step understanding of her. In other words, her love was obtained by him using some calculations.
He knew the people and things she valued, and intentionally made her aware of his 'goodness' in everything. A sensible person like her doesn't have so many emotions. She is too good at controlling her emotions and is guarded against everyone.
He loves her, but he tries his best to seduce her, and finally removes her line of defense.
But he would also be jealous, and when he learned that Qin Jue was looking for her, he was not as calm as he seemed. Once she has it, she will worry about gains and losses, fearing that she accepts his good, but cannot accept his bad.
Some words, he was really afraid that she would know.
Seeing her frowning silently, Cheng Yuelin helped her pull the broken hair around her ear, her Adam's apple slid down, and her eyes gradually sank.
"I'm not as generous as I appear. I don't like Qin Jue approaching you, so I'll use tricks to stumble him. If he has to make an inch, I don't know what else to do. Sometimes, I hope you can only see me, but also I don't want you to put too much attention on a little kid like Cheng Lang."
"Ruan 嘤嘤, I am very selfish."
But she couldn't bear to be sad, so she was angry. Once he has tasted the taste of being cared about by her, no matter what, he will never let her go.
He didn't want to put pressure on her, and he was even more afraid that she would find her paranoid and despicable thoughts hidden deep down.
