"You...what's the matter?" Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Lin Yan who was walking in front of him hesitantly.
Lin Yan looked around and said, "Speak in another place."
Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at the onlookers, nodded and said: "Get in the car first."
She opened the car door and lowered herself to get into the car, but Lin Yan considerately put his hand above her head through the door frame.
"Is this Xu Jiaojiao's friend? He's really handsome!"
"The mixed race looks great. I just saw him up close. His facial features are so beautiful and his skin is so white. I'm sure he's not wearing any makeup."
"With his looks, he doesn't need makeup, but isn't he really a star? He looks more elegant than a star."
"If he enters the entertainment industry, he will definitely be very popular. How could we not know about it?"
The onlookers watched the car move away from their sight, all talking among themselves.
Neither of the two people sitting side by side in the car spoke.
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't know what to say.
Lin Yan had so much to say that he didn't know where to start.
The driver and bodyguard had been out of the car for at least two minutes, but the car was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
"You..." Sheng Jiaoyang turned his head and fell into the other person's deep and charming eyes, a little melancholy, but more gentle and focused.
Such eyes combined with his appearance were unbearable for the fans, they felt that everything he said was right and he could do anything he wanted.
Sheng Jiaoyang used to be a member of the fan girl group, but now she has certain antibodies.
"You don't have to be so guarded against me." Lin Yan raised his hand and stopped in front of her eyes without touching her.
"What do you want to say to me?"
"Jiaoyang, how long have we known each other? Do you still remember?"
Sheng Jiaoyang just looked at him silently, wondering why he asked this.
Lin Yan didn't wait for her reply and said directly: "Six years and four months."
There was a hint of surprise in Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes that he remembered it so clearly. Looking at his more mature appearance, it would be a lie to say that she had no feelings. It turned out that this relationship was not unresponsive, but she responded too late, and she had lost all courage.
"Looking back on the past, I was with you all the time when I was most relaxed and comfortable. I know I woke up too late, but I didn't want to lose you. Sun, six years ago, do you really not miss me at all?"
Sheng Jiaoyang felt like an arrow had been shot in her heart, and it hurt a little. Did she really not miss it
Lin Yan's right hand gently touched her face, stared at her, and said slowly: "Jiaoyang, I know it is unrealistic to say anything else based on our current situation, but I don't want to be strangers to you from now on. We can remain friends." relationship, at least let our six years not be erased."
She heard a bit of sadness in his words, and her heart was sad and tangled.
"Like before, you can share with me everything you are happy or unhappy about. Come out and get together when you have free time and let me know that you are doing well, okay?" He looked at her expectantly.
Sheng Jiaoyang couldn't say the words of rejection, and she couldn't refuse any of his requests that were not excessive.
We are just friends, there is nothing to hesitate about. A voice in her heart said.
In the end, Sheng Jiaoyang followed his heart and nodded.
Lin Yan smiled, and the way his smile spread was so stunning that people couldn't take their eyes away, wanting to imprint this moment deeply in their minds.
When Sheng Jiaoyang returned home, Lin Yan's smile was still lingering in her mind.
I also ate absentmindedly.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Yang asked with concern when he saw her like this.
Sheng Jiaoyang came to his senses, "I..."
"Ding!" The cell phone beeped.
She glanced at it and immediately looked up at Mr. Yang with a guilty conscience. She picked up the phone and stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'm done eating. I'm going upstairs first."
Looking at her leaving figure, Mr. Yang frowned, "Did you have a quarrel with Zhining?"
"It doesn't look like it." An Jing said.
Sheng Jiaoyang did not go back to the bedroom. She went to the studio. When she was upset, she liked to shut herself in the studio, mix up various colors, and vent her emotions on the drawing paper.
She nestled on the sofa in the studio and looked at the messages on her phone. Lin Yan sent her a message asking her to go to bed early. After a while, she put the phone aside and went to get her painting tools.
Various colors were adjusted in the palette. She stood in front of the drawing board, closed her eyes, and Lin Yan's appearance automatically appeared in her mind. She wanted to think of other things, but her brain was completely out of control.
The brush sticks to the paint and draws on the white paper. When the white space on the white paper is occupied by the paint bit by bit, Lin Yan's appearance finally moves from his mind to the paper.
After adding the last stroke, Sheng Jiaoyang looked at the painting on the drawing board and had to admit that the poison named Lin Yan in him had not been cleansed yet. Her heart still couldn't help but throb when she saw him. She was actually happy to hear him say "I don't want to lose you" and "I don't want to be a stranger to you from now on."
She didn't like herself like this, with her emotions completely controlled by another person. She hated this feeling, and even more hated herself who was still hesitating.
Sheng Jiaoyang raised his hand to hold on the edge of the painting board, looked at the people in the painting with longing eyes, and murmured: "We can only be friends from now on."
She wanted to pin him to the position of friend and never allow herself to take another step forward.
The canvas fell down, covering the portrait, and she turned around and walked out of the studio without looking back.
She went directly back to the bedroom and found that Xiao An was already lying down on the bed. Only then did she remember that she had left her mobile phone in the studio. She was about to go back to get it when the door of the bathroom slid open with a crash, and she and the person in pajamas looked at each other. Relatively speaking.
"You're here again?!"
"Can't I come?" Shen Zhining raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You... forget it, I'll help you clean up the guest room." Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at him and walked out of the bedroom.
Sheng Jiaoyang entered a guest room, opened the closet and took out a new set of bedding, first laying out the sheets.
She turned to look at the man who was standing beside him with his arms folded, and said, "Come and help."
"Why bother? You didn't feel any discomfort when we slept together yesterday. Besides," he said in a light tone, "I can also help you warm your bed."
“…”
Sheng Jiaoyang rolled her eyes at him and spread out the sheets firmly. She had never done this kind of housework by herself. She was so tired that she was panting after laying out the sheets, quilts and pillows.
"Okay, you can sleep here." She patted the bed she had made and prepared to leave.
But Shen Zhining suddenly knocked her down.
He propped himself up on top of her, raised his hand to take off her glasses, looked at her very closely, and said in an unclear tone: "Are you going to throw me away after meeting your old lover?" His hot breath opened and closed as his lips opened and closed. Squirted on her face.
Sheng Jiaoyang squinted his eyes to adjust to the hazy feeling of his glasses leaving his body, "What are you talking about!"
"Nonsense? Oh, isn't Lin Yan your old lover?"
Sheng Jiaoyang really couldn't deny this fact.
The look in Shen Zhining's eyes darkened, and he asked with a bit of coldness: "Are you planning to rekindle your old relationship?"
"Nothing, we have already agreed today, we are just ordinary friends."
"Oh, really?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Believe it or not, what I said is true anyway." Sheng Jiaoyang turned away his face, a little angry.
Shen Zhining looked at her expression, his eyebrows softened, and he pressed her ear affectionately and said, "If I find out that you lied to me again, haha, do you want to know the consequences?"
Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look at him, and was frightened by the look in his eyes. The glowing, excited look of someone about to eat a prey made her scalp tingle.
"Speaking of which, I suddenly expected you to lie to me," he said with a smile on his lips, "so don't let me catch your little tail, otherwise you will know how serious the consequences will be."
"I know, get up, I'm going to wash up." Sheng Jiaoyang pushed his chest.
Shen Zhining turned over and lay next to him.
Sheng Jiaoyang stood up quickly and walked out in a hurry. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and asked angrily: "How did you know that I met Lin Yan? Did you send someone to follow me? Or did you say that you had bribed me? Drivers and bodyguards?”
"I also know about you meeting another man in a coffee shop." Shen Zhining said leisurely.
"You really sent someone to follow me, how could you do this!"
Seeing that she was angry, Shen Zhining said calmly: "Do I still need to ask people to follow you? Don't forget that you are a public figure now, and there are many people who want to collect information about you. I have been I received photos of you from an unknown person, photos of you having private meetings with different men.”
"It's not a private meeting. Don't put it in such a bad way. I just chatted with George for a few words the day before yesterday. By the way, you don't know George. He is a beautiful girl who is Lin Na's ex-boyfriend. We met just because we wanted to Let’s talk about Lin Na.”
Shen Zhining said nothing.
Sheng Jiaoyang couldn't see his expression clearly, but knowing that he was looking at her, she quickly said, "I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."
She took two hesitant steps in place, and finally walked over and stretched out her hand: "My glasses."
Shen Zhining returned the glasses to her.
"You have a good rest, I'm leaving." After getting the glasses, Sheng Jiaoyang hurried away as if being chased.
When she finished washing and lay on the bed, she suddenly realized what Shen Zhining said, "I have received photos of you from unknown people in the past two days." So who is this "unknown person"? What was the purpose of taking photos of her with other men and sending them to Shen Zhining
Want to break up her and Shen Zhining
What kind of person would be so reluctant to see her
With such doubts, Sheng Jiaoyang slowly fell asleep.
Because she was worried that Shen Zhining would use the topic to his advantage, she went to and from get out of class in the next few days, and then went home to review her homework. The final exam was coming soon, and no matter how good her foundation was, she could not guarantee that she would do well in the exam without reviewing.
Time passed like water, and Xu Qing and Li Weiwei had also returned.
Their wedding took place as scheduled.
