Yin Manqing, who had a hangover with Fu Wan, woke up with a splitting headache, but then there was a gentle touch on her temples. She was startled, and when she turned around, she found Shu Jing standing behind her, focusing on the gentle massage on her temples.
"when did you come?"
The hangover stupor was all replaced by panic. Yin Manqing stared at Shu Jing for a moment, wondering if he was the one who sent her back from the winery!
From the time she met Shu Jing to now, she has never given Shu Jing a chance. Especially in the two years since Shen Ye left, Yin Manqing has refused Shu Jing thousands of miles away. She thought that time can always make everything fade away. , his feelings and his patience will gradually disappear one day.
However, this is just her idea.
Shu Jing caught the panic in her eyes, as if he was a poisonous snake and beast, which frightened her.
"I just came here not long ago."
Not wanting to scare Yin Manqing, Shu Jing simply took a few steps away and sat down a few meters away from her. He looked at Yin Manqing with the same focused look, and his silent look gave Yin Manqing a great sense of oppression, " I'll get you a glass of water."
Out of etiquette between friends, Yin Manqing hurriedly got up from the bed. I don't know whether it was because she was too nervous to see Shu Jing or because she was dizzy after being drunk. She walked too fast and was about to trip. Fortunately, Shu Jing took action in time and put Yin Manqing on his back. When I touched my waist, I instantly felt a deeper nostalgia and increased the strength between my arms. "What did I do wrong to make you so afraid of me and unwilling to see me?"
"I didn't." She denied it against her will. She couldn't accept Shu Jing, but she didn't want to hurt him.
Whether Yin Manqing denies it or not doesn't have much impact on him. Shu Jing just wants her to be freed from the obsessive waiting. Even though she knows it is a hopeless waiting, she still insists on seeing her.
Yin Manqing was hugged a little tightly by Shu Jing, so she struggled away and said, "Let go, okay? I'll get you some water."
Her struggle was not weak, she regarded Shu Jing like a hot potato, and wished she could push him away immediately, but this time Shu Jing took her hand instead, "Don't go anywhere today, stay with me..."
It was not a commanding tone, but there seemed to be a deep pleading hidden in his voice.
Yin Manqing was stunned. She didn't know why Shu Jing was so sad today. She didn't dare to look at him, and her eyes fell back on his face again, "What's wrong? She seems very unhappy."
Shu Jing pursed his lips. She was right. He was unhappy. From the moment he met Yin Manqing on the first day after returning to China, it seemed that his life was destined to become a mess. Even Shu Jing himself couldn't figure it out. Since when did Yin Manqing become more and more important to him, and he became increasingly unable to let go of her?
She was sad, and he was sad too.
She was happy, and he couldn't help but smile.
His mood changes with Yin Manqing's changes all the time, "If you are happy, I will be happy."
"Shu Jing, don't be like this, I can't bear it. As a friend, I am very grateful for your love and care for me, but if you are just grateful, there is nothing else in my heart..."
"Stop talking, I understand." She was evasive and refused to hear Yin Manqing's words that she only had Shen Ye in her heart, so she cut off her words midway.
Yin Manqing's face was full of helplessness. In fact, Shu Jing had never put pressure on her. But today, he seemed to be covered in grief. "You don't have to do anything. Just stay with me today and talk to me."
She didn't let go of Yin Manqing's hand, and even held it tighter, bringing it to her chest, "It's okay if you don't accept me, but don't run away from me. You said we can only be friends, so be friends for life, as long as you don't hide from me. "
The air was full of depressing factors. Such an atmosphere made Yin Manqing at a loss. She could probably guess what must have happened to Shu Jing, "Why don't we go out to eat? I happen to be hungry."
She would never take the initiative to ask Shu Jing out, but instead of the two of them being alone together, it would be better to go to a crowded place, at least it would be less awkward.
Shu Jing understood what Yin Manqing meant. Although he didn't want to go anywhere, it was very satisfying for him to have the two of them stay quietly for a while, but he still decided to obey her decision because he was concerned about Yin Manqing's feelings.
It's not far from Yin Manqing's residence and a star-rated hotel in the center, about half an hour's drive. "Wait for me here and I'll park the car."
During the noon time, there are many people coming here to eat, and all the parking spaces are occupied, so you can only park your car in the underground parking lot.
Yin Manqing waited for him to enter the hotel together, standing quietly, but her thoughts were unusually restless. She missed Shen Ye, and endless thoughts poured out. It was not that they had never dined together, but the number of times like this was rare. There are very few.
Before they had time to make up for their past regrets, new regrets sprouted mercilessly. In the two-year gap, Shen Ye only left her with worry, fear, and longing...
Yin Manqing raised her head slightly, where are you now?
So many people miss you and hope you can come back. Are you really so heartless that you will never show up again?
Suddenly, a figure jumped out. Yin Manqing half-squinted her eyes. The figure from behind... looked very much like Shen Ye.
In an instant, Yin Manqing's heart tightened suddenly, and she followed him without any hesitation, "Wait a minute, Shen Ye..." She disappeared into the crowd and followed the figure overlapping with Shen Ye, as if she was absolutely certain at this time. That person is Shen Ye.
How could she get it wrong? She couldn't get it wrong. It was him. It was 100% him. "Don't go, wait."
Yin Manqing's voice changed from firm to panic, then to a tearful tone, and tears silently stained her cheeks...
Shu Jing parked the car and returned to where Yin Manqing was waiting for him. He didn't see anyone. After asking the security guards at the hotel entrance, he followed the direction they pointed, "Xiao Man."
Yin Manqing couldn't hear any sound in her ears, and she chased forward wholeheartedly. However, the figure she thought was Shen Ye just now disappeared in the bustling crowd, as if she was surrounded by figures who looked like Shen Ye, the same height, and the same good-looking figure. The back of his head, but when he turned around, it wasn't him.
"You can't do this. You can't do this to me. You didn't come to me even though you came back. Shen Ye... don't be so cruel to me. Come out to see me, come out and talk to me."
Yin Manqing was surrounded by all kinds of people, who looked at her in surprise, but she didn't care what others thought of her, and recited Shen Ye's name with tears in her eyes. She was originally confident that Shen Ye would meet her. He came back to look for her, but when he caught a glimpse of someone with the same back as him, her fear and uneasiness escalated to the point of collapse.
When Shu Jing found Yin Manqing, she was standing helplessly and crying in the crowd, her face was pale with despair. When he got closer, he heard her shouting Shen Ye's name, and his emotions were uncontrollable. Only then did Shu Jing regret that he should not have listened to her. Come out to eat together.
Warm, endlessly caring palms gently patted her back, and the moment she took Yin Manqing into her arms, Shu Jing whispered, "I don't know what to do to make you happy."
She is really good at giving him problems, as if no matter what Shu Jing does, or even what anyone does, it will not make Yin Manqing happier. Only one person can give him the source of her happiness...
"He's back. I won't be mistaken. It's really Ye who's back, but why...he doesn't come out to see me." Yin Manqingyi cried in Shu Jing's arms, with deep worries and sadness buried in her heart.
She had always trusted Shen Ye and believed that he would definitely do what he promised her. Unexpectedly, after two years of separation... maybe everything had changed, and maybe everything would not change according to the pattern she imagined.
Shu Jing patted her back gently, "You must have read it wrong. If he is really back, why didn't he come to see you? There is no reason for him not to see you."
He likes Yin Manqing, and his love for Yin Manqing has unknowingly become the most important theme in his life. However, Shu Jing will not selfishly hope that Shen Ye will never come back. He hopes that Shen Ye can be like Yin Manqing. : He is not missing or dead.
In this way, she can have a fair competition with Shen Ye. On the contrary, as long as Shen Ye doesn't show up, as long as he doesn't come back for a day, Yin Manqing's heart will never be able to untie the knot. Her longing and attachment can only be with him. Shen Ye is a person with endless sway.
"But...I clearly saw him just now."
Yin Manqing's crying voice was full of disappointment. If Shen Ye comes back one day and he ignores her, what will she do?
She couldn't think about the days in the future when Shen Ye and she would become strangers.
Shu Jing was speechless. He didn't seem to think that Yin Manqing had met Shen Ye. She thought about Shen Ye day and night, and it was normal for her to have hallucinations.
Yin Manqing was in a bad mood, and the meal was obviously in vain. Shu Jing protected her and left, showing his care for Yin Manqing in his words and deeds.
From a distance, Shen Ye, wearing a sunhat and casual clothes, hid in a corner and calmly watched the two of them leave. He did not expect that he would meet Yin Manqing unexpectedly on the first day back.
Seeing him being able to accurately identify his figure among thousands of people, and then crying and searching for him in the bustling crowd, the uncontrollable pain and heartache flooded into his chest like a flood.
But no matter what, he couldn't see her.
Even though his desire to see Yin Manqing is no less than hers, and even more eager to hold her in his arms again than hers, now he is no longer the Shen Ye he was before, and he can't help himself with everything.
Seeing Shu Jing's protective measures for her, he was filled with jealousy but could do nothing.
If possible, he hoped Yin Manqing could forget him, "I'm sorry."
No amount of sorry can make up for Yin Manqing's pain. Countless sorrys can only constitute the biggest regret in this life. His desire to stay with Yin Manqing for the rest of his life began when he was framed by Grandpa Shen and wanted to kill him. From a moment on, this idea has become a luxury...
