You Caught My Attention

Chapter 41: XXI

Views:

As a person who likes action, Tan Yin spent half an hour to face her inner self, and then spent fifteen minutes to have a fierce inner struggle, and then spent five minutes to come to a conclusion - now that her academic performance has improved after her unremitting efforts, she should continue to pursue Chu Hang. After all, after so long, she still misses him, which shows that it is true love.

Tan Yin is the kind of person who is stubborn, but once she figures things out, she will quickly make changes based on the new decision. She immediately kicked Jiang Yilu's chair and said, "I have a plan."

Jiang Yilu was still immersed in praising Xu Yu, and asked in a daze: "What?"

“I think we should have in-depth strategic cooperation.”

"ah?"

Tan Yin said solemnly, "We are sisters who are united in purpose and can break iron with our strength. We should work together to divide up Xu Yu and Chu Hang, the good brothers."

Jiang Yilu was stunned for several seconds before she finally reacted. She looked at Tan Yin and said, "Didn't you claim that you had given up on Chu Hang?"

Tan Yin sighed: "It's not completely dead. Recently, someone randomly threw cigarette butts around, and it revived."

"… "

"Look, if you like Xu Yu, you should pursue him boldly! He's still single, but he's popular with other people. If you hesitate any longer, he might be taken away by someone else. So why not take advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Yilu, and get on with it!" Tan Yin analyzed sanctimoniously, "What about Xu Yu now? Apart from attending classes, he spends most of his free time hanging out with Chu Hang. Chu Hang has become a stumbling block between you and Xu Yu, a huge light bulb. Someone must get him away, otherwise how can you and Xu Yu create a world for the two of you and develop a touching love story?"

Although she didn't say anything, Tan Yin believed that her expression had clearly conveyed her main idea -

I, Tan Yin, am the one who sent Chu Hang away!

Jiang Yilu almost clapped her hands: "Tan Yin, Tan Yin, you are quite hypocritical. You even managed to beautify and package your extravagant thoughts about Chu Hang as a great act of forcing yourself to sacrifice yourself for your friend's love? You really made a mistake studying architecture. You should study liberal arts."

Tan Yin threw a coquettish look at Jiang Yilu: "It's OK as long as you understand. Anyway, the good things should be kept within the family. When the time comes, you get rid of Xu Yu and I get rid of Chu Hang. Isn't that the best of both worlds? Do you have any objection?"

Jiang Yilu touched his chin: "I don't have any opinions, but why do I feel that you are talking about the two of us like the European and American powers, and Xu Yu and Chu Hang like colonies that are about to be divided up?"

Now that you mention it, they do look quite similar

"But Tan Yin, although there were some misunderstandings between Xu Yu and me, I apologized to him immediately after he carried me to the school hospital this time. We don't have any blood feud, and Xu Yu is not a petty person. Even if we have forgiven each other, you and Chu Hang..." Jiang Yilu chose her words carefully, "You want to pursue him, it's a bit difficult, right? The gap between you and him seems to be a bit deep, not to mention that you failed once before, can you really do it..."

"Why not? With perseverance, you can turn a piece of iron into a needle!" Tan Yin said with great enthusiasm, "I can become invisible, right? I can use my innate advantages to carefully observe Chu Hang's preferences, and then cater to his preferences. Isn't it okay to fail for the first time? Many big guys failed many times before they succeeded in their business. Haven't I accumulated valuable experience?"

"Okay..."

Tan Yin did what she said: "Well, I think we need to take a long-term view on this matter. It may be a protracted war. I will write a plan first, and we will discuss it..."

Unfortunately, just as Tan Yin took out a piece of white paper and was looking for a pen, Jiang Yilu broke her dream: "Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!" Jiang Yilu held the phone, "My informant sent a message saying that he saw Chu Hang and a super beautiful and elegant woman in the school garden! Just the two of them! I have never seen this beauty before, and I don't think she is from our school. Tan Yin, I think Chu Hang may not be single anymore..."

Before Jiang Yilu could finish her words, she saw Tan Yin quickly put on her coat and disappeared from her sight like the wind.

*****

Tan Yin rushed to the school garden at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. This was a well-known dating spot for couples. How did Chu Hang suddenly appear here? Was he really single? !

As soon as she walked into the small garden, she found Chu Hang. He was always so conspicuous. At this moment, he was wearing a white shirt and standing in front of the rose bushes. He was a handsome young man, a beautiful scenery. And the girl opposite him, Tan Yin, even though they were of the same sex, had to admit that she was really good-looking! It was not the kind of exquisite beauty. The girl had very generous features. Her skin was not white, but a slightly healthy wheat color. However, her eyes were bright and confident, her temperament was generous, and her clothes were simple but tasteful. She was both fashionable and presentable.

Strong enemy!

Chu Hang was looking at the other person at this moment with an undisguised smile on his face. The two seemed to have struck a chord. They nodded frequently and talked about something with gestures.

It had been raining not long ago, but now it had cleared up. Tan Yin looked at the sky and felt that he was born at the wrong time. He felt frustrated that he had a lot of passion but couldn't contribute to society. His invisibility ability was really useless! Where did it go when he needed it

Although he couldn't become invisible, Tan Yin soon came up with an idea and thought of another way. Chu Hang and the girl stood beside the rose bushes. The roses had lush branches and leaves, and they climbed densely on the sparse bamboos in the small bamboo forest behind, forming a green wall.

Tan Yin quietly went around to the back of Chu Hang, just in time to hide behind the rose wall. As expected, she soon heard Chu Hang's voice. When she was feeling proud and decided to listen carefully to what he was saying, she found out -

"chinese traditional architecture extend crosswisespace, required axial symmetry, and have the effect o city distribution always whole style introversive, close, strict and these reflect the implication and privacy."

I couldn't understand a single fucking word!

Although Chu Hang spoke standard American English, fluent, pure, low and sexy, and his voice was very pleasant to hear, it was just that! Although she knew that Chu Hang was probably introducing architectural knowledge, Tan Yin was completely confused about what it meant to put it together as a sentence, except for being able to catch individual words. She couldn't figure out why Chu Hang didn't speak Chinese and why he spoke English? Was it to show off in front of this girl

Of course, Tan Yin soon found out the reason, because after the girl heard what Chu Hang said, she started to speak a lot in more fluent and authentic English.

This guy is actually a foreign friend?!

Tan Yin secretly looked at her through the gaps between the rose bushes, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was different. For example, her eye makeup was not the popular style in China. Most female college students in China like to wear cute eye makeup, but her eye makeup is very ostentatious; her lipstick color is also very warm, unlike most girls in China who would not challenge such a bright and orthodox red, but would choose a low-key lip color with a nude makeup feel; and her body movements and the temperament in her every move are obviously not like those of a native Chinese.

Tan Yin was extremely concerned, but she felt that the more she cared, the more she had to pretend not to care. She stood behind the rose bushes, thinking about what excuse she could use to pretend to be passing by naturally. As she was thinking, she looked up slightly and was frightened by a caterpillar hanging on the rose leaves above her head. She almost screamed. Although she controlled her scream, she stepped back subconsciously and fell into the bamboo forest, then into the rose bushes, and then fell out of the rose bushes and fell at the feet of Chu Hang and the girl...

The girl was probably stunned, and couldn't help but shout "oh god" in a loud voice. Although Chu Hang was also a little shocked, he had probably seen too many amazing things done by Tan Yin, so after a brief moment of surprise, he regained his composure and just looked down at Tan Yin.

This scene was indeed awkward, and Tan Yin was speechless for a moment. Just when she was waiting for Chu Hang to say something to help her out, Chu Hang pursed his lips and it was obvious that he was not going to say a word. He just looked at Tan Yin, as if to say, "I'll just watch you show off quietly."

Tan Yin had no choice but to pat her butt and stand up, then she gritted her teeth and spoke under the gazes of the two men: "What a coincidence, Chu Hang!"

Chu Hang looked at Tan Yin expressionlessly and said, "It's a coincidence, but it's not normal. What are you trying to do hiding in the flowers behind me?"

"I, I just came to find you and wanted to ask you a question. Didn't you say I could come to you if I had any questions..." Tan Yin racked her brains and said, "But I just saw you and your girlfriend chatting enthusiastically. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't say anything. I wanted to wait behind you and show up after you finished chatting..."

Tan Yin said this to find a plausible excuse for herself, and also to test Chu Hang. According to normal development, if she was not his girlfriend, Chu Hang would definitely clarify it...

only…

But this time Chu Hang just looked at him calmly, neither admitting nor denying.

Tan Yin's heart was in turmoil when she saw him like that. She felt nervous and anxious, just like the way she felt every time the results of the final structural mechanics exam were announced. She was afraid of getting bad news that she didn't want.

In the end, it was his international friend who couldn't stand it anymore and clarified in not very fluent Chinese: "Hello, I'm not Chu Hang's girlfriend."

It was only then that Chu Hang looked at Tan Yin with a half-smile and snorted, "Of course I don't have a girlfriend. Didn't you draw them all for me in your comics? I only have a bunch of boyfriends."

Tan Yin shamelessly looked at the rival next to Chu Hang: "Who is this?"

"Anna." The girl was very generous and extended her hand to Tan Yin without waiting for Chu Hang to introduce herself. "I am Chu Hang's classmate during his exchange in the United States."

Tan Yin immediately introduced herself and started to talk to Anna enthusiastically.

Anna was lively and generous, and she did not hide anything. Soon, Tan Yin knew her purpose of this trip. It turned out that because of a paper she was working on, she came to China to research some ancient buildings and find some information. Although she was of Chinese descent, she was born and raised in the United States. She did not know much about China and spoke Chinese haltingly. It happened that the buildings she wanted to study this time were all in City A, so she thought of asking Chu Hang for help.

Even though it was just a few words, Anna did not hide her admiration for Chu Hang at all. When she looked at Chu Hang, there was light in her eyes.

Although the reason she came to see Chu Hang seemed quite official, and Chu Hang did not respond to her gaze, Tan Yin's heart was still filled with alarm.

Chu Hang had only been on exchange for one semester, and it had been a while since the exchange ended. This guy could still come to my house. Doesn't this mean that the two of them had a good relationship while in the United States, and they were still in touch after returning to China? !

Tan Yin frowned, feeling that things were not simple!

But no matter how complicated it was, Tan Yin had no reason to stay in front of Anna and Chu Hang any longer, because facing Chu Hang's questions, her mind was completely blank.

"Tan Yin, what question do you want to ask me?"

Even though Chu Hang asked the question a second time, Tan Yin still couldn't think of what she should ask. She had been studying very hard recently, and there were no blind spots in her studies to ask about...

Tan Yin thought in frustration, studying too hard is ruining my future, and getting too good grades is ruining my youth!

"I... I suddenly can't remember what to ask you..."

Chu Hang glanced at Tan Yin, and with a half-smile, ordered her to leave: "Then come back and ask me when you remember. If there is nothing else, you can leave now."

"… "

"Or do you have anything else to say?"

"there is none left… "

Chu Hang seemed to have expected that Tan Yin would use some excuse to shamelessly stay. When he heard Tan Yin's answer at this moment, he was stunned for a moment. Then he coughed and looked away unnaturally.

In fact, Tan Yin did want to be a light bulb, but she felt that in order to successfully pursue someone, she had to make the other party unable to figure out her behavior pattern, especially since she had been so persistent and proactive in writing love letters for half a year, but Chu Hang didn't even glance at her. Now, for the second time, she had to change her strategy.

Always taking the initiative will make the boy feel that the girl is always at his fingertips and he may not cherish her. So this time, Tan Yin decided to be close yet distant! Let Chu Hang be unpredictable, this will trigger a chemical reaction!

So Tan Yin looked at Chu Hang twice more, and then reluctantly dragged her steps away. However, she had just taken a few steps when she heard Chu Hang's voice behind her -

"Tomorrow is Saturday. I have arranged a route for the buildings you want to see. Let's start with the A City Museum. See you at the museum entrance at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Tan Yin shook her head. Chu Hang was not very good. Didn't the girl clearly say that her Chinese was not good? He was just talking to her fluently in English, why did he suddenly switch back to Chinese mode at this time

What made Tan Yin even more unable to understand was that Chu Hang was always very particular about his speech. His voice was always just right, not too light to sound weak, nor too heavy to sound uneducated. But now, no one knew whether Chu Hang was too excited to see Anna who had come from afar, his words were so loud as if he wanted the whole world to know.

On the one hand, he was trying to drive me away with a look of disgust as if he was afraid that I would eavesdrop, and on the other hand, he was making an appointment with such confidence as if he was announcing it to the world. I don't know what's wrong with Chu Hang.

Although Anna was a little surprised that Chu Hang suddenly switched to Chinese mode, she also responded "OK" in Chinese.

But Chu Hang, who usually speaks succinctly, didn't know what happened. He raised his voice and repeated the key information: "Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, at the entrance of the museum."

Tan Yin was wondering as she walked. Could it be that Chu Hang really fell in love with Anna? That's why he was so nervous in front of her? Was he so flustered that he behaved abnormally? Since he kept repeating the meeting place in case she didn't understand, why didn't he just speak in English? Taking a step back, if he really wanted to pursue Anna, shouldn't he have made an appointment to meet at the museum, picked her up at her hotel, and then went to the museum together? That would have given him extra points!

Tan Yin couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Chu Hang has been single for thousands of years! His emotional intelligence is really not that good!

However, his voice was so loud in excitement that he gained an advantage. Tan Yin thought happily that the chance encounter at the entrance of the museum at 8 o'clock tomorrow, Saturday, was arranged.

Chu Hang and Anna want to be alone? Humph! Wishful thinking! I will never let them succeed!
