Before she and Shen Ye resolved their knots and confessed their childhood events, she had blamed Shen Ye and complained about him not keeping his promise.
But now, if forgetting herself can save him some pain, Yin Manqing is willing to be forgotten by him...
"Brother and Fu Wan must not hold an engagement ceremony. Usually, if they hold an engagement ceremony, they will definitely break up in the end. This is true in TV series and novels."
Yin Manqing muttered, but she and Shen Ye did not hold an engagement ceremony, and they even got a certificate to live together without a proper wedding. In the end, they still had to separate.
"Stop talking, be quiet for a while, I have a headache." His voice was low, and the deeper the words, the faster and thicker the sadness flowed.
Yin Manqing shut up at the right time and took action, "Let me get out of the car."
Shen Ye's silence was half acquiescence. After a few seconds of pause, he opened the car door and said, "Get out."
In the darkness, his eyes looked so dim and lost their color. Yin Manqing did not leave in a hurry after getting out of the car, "Actually, the suit I bought in the department store today was for you. I thought you could wear it at the time." It must be very suitable..."
Seeing that he had no reaction, it seemed that even if she gave him all the good things in the world, Shen Ye would not respond because he would never get what he wanted most.
She said a few heart-warming words on the way, and when she turned to leave, her steps were as heavy as lead. Each step became harder and harder. Finally, she entered the apartment building. Without Shen Ye's gaze, Yin Manqing seemed to have taken off her armor. , sitting on the stairs helplessly and dejectedly, tears falling uncontrollably...
All the pretense and calmness in front of Shen Ye, only she knew best how fragile it was. Together with Shen Ye, how long would the two of them live as sinners and criminals?
Living in their own cages, they can never forget some things in the past, and they can never gain the freedom of their hearts.
When Shen Ye chased after him, he happened to see Yin Manqing's head buried between her knees, sobbing softly, and her legs froze instantly. He originally chased after her in anger because he wanted to accuse her of her role in arranging his life-long events. .
Who he will be with in the future, who he will hold an engagement ceremony with, these... are none of her business.
But when he saw her silently crying and crying heartbrokenly, all the unhappiness disappeared, and his broad palm gently stroked the top of her hair, "Since you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be a little bit more attractive in front of others." Don’t cry anymore.”
Shen Ye's voice came from above Yin Manqing's head, and her tears stopped abruptly. She slowly raised her head to look at Shen Ye, with a delicate and sad charm flowing out of her rainy eyes. She quickly wiped away the tears, and there was something in her tearful eyes. I have endless doubts about what he means by catching up...
"According to what you said, I will work hard. You should work hard too. Continue to face me in a happy and comfortable way. It doesn't matter if you call me brother or whatever you call me. I won't mind anymore."
Perhaps, only if he truly lets go can Yin Manqing feel better...
When Shen Ye returned to the car, he sobered up a lot. As Shen Ziqi said, in the current situation, no matter how many factors were ready to move in his body, he could never hurt Yin Manqing.
That night, she drove the sports car aimlessly on the road to put out the fire. Shen Ziqi and Lu Chennan were worried that something would happen to her, so they followed his car all night to act as bodyguards for him.
The next day, Yin Manqing returned to Shen's house after class. As soon as she entered, Shen's mother casually said something about Shen Ye, "I don't know where your brother went last night. He came back this morning with dark circles under his eyes. I haven’t woken up yet.”
In fact, Yin Manqing could hear Shen's mother's tentative words. It seemed casual, but in fact she wanted to make sure that Shen Ye was with Yin Manqing last night.
"Mom, you must be very tired too. You are worried that my brother and I will do some shameful things again, which will make you and your father look bad."
"That was not what I meant……"
"Mom, I won't. Since I promised you, I won't break my promise."
"Xiaoman." Shen's mother also realized that she seemed to be too guarded against the brothers and sisters, and apologized.
"I'm going upstairs to give my brother his birthday gift."
Holding the birthday gift in her hand, Yin Manqing was not too restrained. The more restrained she was, the more worried Mother Shen would be about them.
Shen's mother reacted slowly and said, "Yes, I almost forgot about A Ye's birthday. There have been too many things recently..."
Shen's mother's voice gradually faded away from her ears. Standing in front of Shen Ye's room door, Yin Manqing hesitated a little, and suddenly remembered Shen Ye's voice. He said that the villa they once lived together had changed without her. It has to be deserted, and when you calm down, you will only think of their past things.
That's why he doesn't want to go back there, doesn't want to face it, and doesn't dare to face it.
She knocked on the door politely, "Brother."
No one answered in the room. Yin Manqing opened the door gently, and what came into view was Shen Ye's sleeping posture. In fact, apart from his somewhat cold personality and arrogant attitude, he had an elegant character and education that belonged to the upper class. Good, and his character is not bad either.
It's just that towards her... he never seemed to be a gentleman.
Yin Manqing cautiously approached the edge of the bed. Shen Ye's tightly closed eyes made Yin Manqing relax a lot. From a close distance, she glanced at his beautiful and long eyelashes. Yin Manqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. People say that people with long eyelashes are difficult to take care of. I'm talking about people like him.
At the same time, I could also clearly see the dark circles under his eyes. Just like what I saw last night, his face was full of exhaustion and his brows were deeply knitted, as if too much sadness and trouble were condensed.
Where did he go after returning from the apartment last night?
Will you go... to find Fu Wan?
Thinking of this, Yin Manqing suddenly trembled with the birthday gift box in her hand and panicked. She knew that one day he and Fu Wan would live together, get married and have children, and grow old together, but she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her heart.
"Happy birthday to you in advance." Shen Ye's birthday happened to fall on Thursday, and she was still in school at that time, so the birthday gift could only be sent in advance.
Originally he planned to ask his mother to give it to him, but he didn't expect that he happened to be at home. Yin Manqing put the two gift boxes next to him, and when he was about to leave, a strong force was placed on his waist, "You don't know, blessing words , do you have to tell people face to face to be sincere?"
The shallow words were filled with layers of banter that covered Yin Manqing's head. Before she could break away, Shen Ye took her to the bed, turned over, and oppressed her body. His breath was warm between the two of them. .
He didn't forget the way Yin Manqing sat on the stairs crying last night, and saw all her embarrassment...
In this case, he should try to treat each other like a brother and sister like her. He slowly stood up and acquiesced in Yin Manqing's escape from his arms. Then he changed the subject and said, "What gift can you give me?"
Yin Manqing straightened her slightly messy hair, stood upright, and made a "V" sign with her fingers, "There are two gifts."
"Oh?" He seemed a little surprised.
"This is the suit I bought for you last time, let's count it as a share." Yin Manqing handed him the luxurious handmade dress gift box bag, "Brother, you look the most handsome and energetic in a suit."
This is definitely not an exaggeration. Shen Ye has a tall frame and looks outstanding when wearing a suit.
"You are a good-looking person, and you will look good no matter what you wear." He curled his lips and said disapprovingly. No matter how good-looking he is, it will serve no purpose. It is just a useless skin.
Yin Manqing glanced at her lips and laughed, "If you compliment you, you will be embarrassed. There are many people who are more handsome and handsome than you, so I advise you not to be proud."
"Pride must have the capital to be proud. Some people don't even have the qualifications to be proud, just like you... You have a pretty face, but if you pick someone like Qin Yuefeng who shouldn't be picked, what do you think in the future? What else is there to be proud of?"
The words that were originally completely unrelated turned around and turned to her and Qin Yuefeng.
Yin Manqing knew what Shen Ye wanted to say, so in order to prevent the matter from getting bigger, she had to change the topic, "The second gift..."
She hesitated, "The second gift is a bit..."
"What!" Yin Manqing couldn't say anything for a long time, and Shen Ye took the small gift box from her hand brazenly. His quick behavior clearly meant that he wanted to know immediately what Yin Manqing's second gift was.
Yin Manqing bit her lip. Before she could say anything, Shen Ye had opened the small gift box. Inside the box was a simple bouquet of dried flowers.
Shen Ye didn't know much about flowers, so he naturally didn't know the name of the flower. Yin Manqing scratched her head in embarrassment, "This is lily of the valley. The flower language of lily of the valley is happiness. I heard that people who receive lily of the valley will definitely know it." Being favored by the God of Luck. I always hope that you will be happy, brother. When my birthday is next year, you can also give me this. This is called... exchanging happiness."
After receiving this gift and listening to Yin Manqing's so-called flower language, Shen Ye felt panic flashing through his heart. What kind of exchange for happiness?
"Ha." He sneered.
"Why are you laughing? I know this gift is worthless in your eyes, but I sincerely wish you happiness. If...if you don't like it, forget it, I'll take it back."
When Yin Manqing tried to get the gift back, she came up empty-handed, "I accepted your blessing and your happiness. When it's your birthday, I will remember the gift you want."
At first, she was afraid that Shen Ye wouldn't like this gift. However, when he seemed to accept the gift happily, Yin Manqing felt uncomfortable in her heart. She could only laugh stupidly to cover up her inner sourness and all her feelings. sorrow and grief……
