It is more abstract: confession.

=========

Su Jinxin never thought that she would receive a call from Yan Zhen's housekeeper.

It's Uncle Lin from the villa.

The old man of the Yan family, Su Jinxin was introduced to Yan Zhen on the first day he arrived, and followed him to learn the rules. In the beginning, he was a very strict and demanding teacher. When I got acquainted, I found that he was a kind and caring elder. Taking care of Su Jinxin is like taking care of your grandson. When Su Jinxin didn't go to the villa during the holidays, he often received calls from him, reminding him of the weather changes, or asking if there were any difficulties in life.

Su Jinxin thought that this time he was here to inform him to get something.

At that time, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to clean up the sundries left in the villa: clothes, daily necessities, and a few sketches and sketchbooks - all of which were drawn by Yan Zhen, which is his best work so far. It's always been a pity. However, after all, it is already an expired old man, and it always feels inappropriate to ask for these again, and I have no courage, so I have to give up.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin asked after a simple greeting, "Mr. Su, have you quarreled with the young master?"

How can Su Jinxin answer this

He never dared to think for a second that he was still qualified to quarrel with Yan Zhen.

Had to vaguely deny. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Uncle Lin was silent for a moment and replied, "Master, he's been in a bad mood recently."

Su Jin's heart twitched, his hands clenched involuntarily, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Probably... busy with work. His company's merger and acquisition case is being signed recently, isn't it?"

—Although not by Yan Zhen’s side, Su Jinxin still keeps the habit of watching financial news. This is the only way for him to see Yan Zhen now. Recently, the mergers and acquisitions of Yanzhen Company have been very loud. Even when eating in the cafeteria, students can be heard discussing. At this time, he felt more and more as if he had a grand dream.

Uncle Lin was noncommittal.

As usual, he asked Su Jinxin a few things about the current situation before hanging up hesitantly.

Su Jinxin stared at the dim screen of the phone for a long time. I kept thinking of the scratches on Yan Zhen's arm. I am a little worried that the people around Yan Zhen are not so sensible now - after thinking about it, I feel that I have no position to worry.

Just over a week apart. Su Jinxin frequently dreams of Yan Zhen. Woke up almost every night.

Sometimes it's a sad dream, sometimes it's a spring dream.

- Most of the latter.

It was so real that Su Jinxin was often shocked and shy about her memory.

There is also a little bit of inhuman coursing - after all, it is good to see Yan Zhen, even if it is only in a dream.

He missed Yan Zhen as much as ever.

But not depressed.

Strong and hardworking to the point where even he himself was a little surprised. Probably because, subconsciously, I feel that I don't have the time or room to waste on frustrating idleness.

Shi Lei's exhibition has opened.

Got a good response.

One after another, sponsors and investors came to contact them. Among them, there are many rich people in Yanzhen's social circle.

This gives Su Jinxin a little hope for the future:

He doesn't have the talent of Shi Lei, but he's also a hard worker and a good student. He may have to walk a harder and longer road, but one day, he will climb to the same height. Until that day, he will be able to get to know Yan Zhen again in an upright manner, and then he will chase him down again in an upright manner.

To this end, he has to work at full capacity and not waste a moment.

As for Yan Zhen, he is not as "bad" as Uncle Lin said.

Although it's a bit bad.

After all, unlike Su Jinxin, he had enough room to adjust his mentality during the holidays. The company has daily routines to deal with. Although the M&A case has been negotiated, there are still many formal procedures to go through. The partner flew in from half a country, and the team was led by his sister's girlfriend for many years. The surname was Lin. The cheapness of half the elders is merciless, and the reception alone can cost people half their lives.

But being busy also has its benefits. When you get busy, leave your children's personal affairs behind.

Otherwise, whenever I have free time, my mind will open a kaleidoscope: I always see Su Jinxin's favorite dishes when eating. On the road, you will see boys of similar stature. Dreaming all night long. After a fifteen-minute nap, I can dream four or five poses and change the scene.

Kidney deficiency than people around.

All kinds of entertainment one after another. Seeing the empty space beside him, they all made fun of him. If you are persuaded by a friend, it is better to find a like person and keep it by your side. Immediately frowned and pushed back: "I Yan Zhen look like someone who uses fakes?"

He really can think of Su Jinxin in everything he sees. But Su Jinxin is unique. No one is like Su Jinxin.

Sadness is sadness.

Depressed to the point that it didn't last long.

This is thanks to Shi Lei.

— On the first day of separation, Yan Zhen went to Shi Lei's exhibition. At that time, I couldn't sit still, I just wanted to take a look at Su Jinxin. Who would have thought that Su Jinxin was not found, and even those sculptures that Su Jinxin was a model for were withdrawn.

Shi Lei knew him and walked over to him and said, "I'm sorry, it's an incomplete work and can't be sold."

Only then did Yan Zhen remember that he had spent a lot of money to buy that set of sculptures - but of course he didn't come to ask about the sculptures - so he simply apologized for his last rudeness and asked Su Jinxin's current situation, pretending to be calm and a little naive. Provocation means.

Who would have thought that Shi Lei would not follow suit at all: "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"Of course I don't know. Haven't you seen his work? He is already a painter who can create independently. Why would he want to cooperate with me? How would I know what his schedule will be in the future?" Shi Lei replied in seconds, taking it for granted. look.

Yan Zhen had to give him a compliment for such a straight artist's head.

Happy or sad.

Su Jinxin didn't leave him for Shi Lei's sake. Su Jinxin just left him simply because she didn't want to be with him.

… but it’s always good to not need to have corners.

Yan Zhen stayed in the midst of Shi Lei's group of weird artworks for an hour, emptied his mind, and made a decision: the way he and Su Jinxin started was indeed unhealthy. It's not a bad thing to interrupt here. After the merger was signed, and the dust settled for a while, he would slowly try to get people back.

He bought hundreds of thousands of second-hand ordinary cars from his subordinates.

Tell the tailor at home to make yourself some ordinary clothes that look like students.

The partner's manager Lin - as her sister's best friend - asked Yan Zhen privately if she was in love.

Yan Zhen thought about it for a while, and said generously, he hasn't caught up yet.

It was the last day of the signing event. Standing on the camera lens of reporters, they all felt that this kind of activity was too formal, and they simply started chatting.

Mr. Lin asked him if he needed some off-site assistance

Yan Zhen shook his head: "I don't want others to interfere."

President Lin smiled: "It looks very precious."

Yan Zhen was a little shy, and then lowered his head and smiled: "It's very precious."

This scene was captured by reporters from the Caijing Channel, and it was broadcast in the evening Caijing.

Su Jin, who was eating in the cafeteria, was caught off guard by Yan Zhen's smile.

Before I could return to my senses, I heard the chattering discussions of the junior college students majoring in advertising and media behind him: Yan Zhen, Lin Rujing, family background, wealth and knowledge, talent and appearance... The vague words were like sharp knives.

Su Jinxin's chopsticks fell to the ground with a "click".

Yes.

He was still too naive.

Yan Zhen is so good. There are so many people who like Yan Zhen. How could it be possible to stand in place and wait for him alone.

The pain came unexpectedly.

The reason I used to comfort myself and encourage myself a few days ago was like a sandcastle by the sea in a huge wave, collapsing completely.

Su Jin felt the overwhelming despair in hindsight.

I don't want to eat either.

Stand up and go outside.

He couldn't see Yan Zhen smiling like that around others.

But don't know where to go.

Just sauntered forward.

When I came back to my senses, I found myself standing on the platform of the small bus station in front of the private road outside Yanzhen Villa Manor—one step forward was to enter the camera shooting range of Yanzhen Manor. He quickly stopped, stepped back, and sat down on the curb at the bus stop.

Looking at the dense private garden in front of him.

He finally hugged his shoulders and burst into tears.

It seemed that he wasn't crying enough. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky. The pouring rain poured down.

On the way home, Yan Zhen found such a Su Jinxin, whose eyes and nose were red from crying, at a loss, and soaked all over, like a puppy abandoned by his owner.

- At first, he thought he was thinking too much and had hallucinations. After all, he didn't actually want to come back to the villa today. There are too many things in Su Jinxin's mind in the villa, and it's still a little bit... However, after finishing work, he lost his nerves and didn't remember to explain to the driver. After a daze, he found that he was already outside the garden. He wanted to tell the driver to turn around and go back, so he heard the driver ask, "Master, is that Mr. Su?"

Yan Zhen's heart tightened.

Rubbing his eyes, he couldn't believe it.

He quickly got out of the car with an umbrella, and when he saw it was real, his heart almost stopped beating: "Be careful? What's wrong? Why are you here?"

Su Jinxin cried.

The response was half a beat.

"Ah" he turned his head and wanted to escape, but was caught by Yan Zhen in his arms: "Why did you come here alone to cry? Who bullied you? - I don't know how to hide from such a heavy rain? Do it like this?"

It felt as if the person in his arms was as ice-cold as if he had just taken it out of the freezer. Yan Zhen's whole person is not well. Involuntarily, he shoved Su Jinxin into the car. Grab both hands and order not to move. Warm in his arms. As soon as he arrived at the villa, he immediately carried him into the room and dipped him into a bathtub filled with hot water.

Su Jinxin was still stunned.

It wasn't until Yan Zhen fished him out, dried him, and stuffed him into the quilt that he called out weakly, "Mr. Yan."

"Yeah." Yan Zhen's brows have been wrinkling, his face is gloomy and uncertain, "Drink the ginger soup."

Su Jinxin did not dare to speak again. Obediently obey.

Yan Zhen rubbed his brows, went out to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, stood for a while, and then pushed the door suddenly and came in: "Su Jinxin, I ask you something, tell me honestly."

"Eh?"

"Are you... Actually, you like me a little bit."

The bowl in Su Jinxin's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and tears came down: "Yes, I'm sorry! I won't bother... um... um... "

Yan Zhen went over without saying a word and pressed him onto the bed, kissing him until he was out of breath and could no longer speak before letting go: "You are stupid, then why are you running? - Can't you feel it? I like you."
