Shen Ye's behavior in agreeing to stay did not give Yin Manqing any hope, nor did he intend to hope for that damn hope.
He, Shen Ye at this moment, really had nothing to do with her.
Fu Wan lit a cigarette. Shen Ziqi's temper was a little hot today. Not only did he not stop Fu Wan's bad habit, he started smoking on his own. As the light smoke lingered, he was filled with boredom and annoyance. In an instant, the air was full of It was the choking smell of smoke, and Yin Manqing couldn't help but cough...
Fu Wan was addicted to cigarettes and had no intention of extinguishing it. Instead, she said, "Xiaoman, since you and I are friends, and since he is yours, no matter how handsome Shen Ye's face is, I will never look at it again."
Her words were half true and half false, but she sincerely assured Yin Manqing that she would never covet Shen Ye from now on. Even if there was no result between Yin Manqing and Shen Ye, Fu Wan never thought about eating. It's too late to look back.
Fu Wan didn't say this for Shen Ziqi, but it was undeniable that Shen Ziqi's words and deeds just now moved her just a little bit, just a little bit.
Yin Manqing was silent, her face turned red from being choked. Shen Ye saw her discomfort, but remained indifferent. Shen Ziqi was really a little weird today, "Sister-in-law, we are both from the end of the world, you can have one too. You won’t choke if you smoke it.”
After saying that, he actually lit a cigarette and handed it to Yin Manqing. Shen Ziqi got used to calling him sister-in-law, and even after more than two years, he still couldn't change his habit.
"Shen Ziqi, what are you causing trouble! Do you think Xiaoman is like me and you? She is a well-behaved person. You let her smoke because you deliberately led her into trouble and hurt her." Fu Wan was originally because of Shen Ziqi's refusal to invite her. Zilai was a little angry, and now he was so nervous that he dragged Yin Manqing into the water, but Fu Wan was a step slower, and Chang Yan had already been snatched away by Yin Manqing.
"Xiaoman..." Fu Wan was surprised.
"It doesn't matter if you follow the rules, you're still unpleasant and annoying."
A deep sarcasm appeared on Yin Manqing's face. Indeed, at this time, she didn't think her well-behaved and well-behaved personality was praiseworthy. She even envied Fu Wan's personality, which was a little rebellious and a little unruly. , and a little bit bad, but she can still hold on to her feelings and let them go at critical times, which is much more free and unrestrained than her.
As for her, she was so stubborn that she even started to hate herself. Yin Manqing said softly, "I want to try, try, is it like you said, when there is nothing you can do in this world?" , but found that there is still something like cigarettes that can support me and make me feel that there is still something to do, which proves the value of existence.”
Yin Manqing remembers clearly that Fu Wan became addicted to smoking in the two years after Shen Ye left. He warned her many times, but she always used this excuse to get rid of him.
When Fu Wan heard this, she pursed her lips and glanced at Shen Ye's ugly face from the corner of her eye. There were clearly restless factors running around in the deep pupils. She must have been stimulated by Yin Manqing's behavior. In this case, Fu Wan Continuing to add fuel to the flames, "Yes, it's not easy to be a good woman, just be passable, smoke it, it will relieve all the worries."
Perhaps, Shen Ziqi also wanted to test Shen Ye's reaction at first, so his eyes turned to Shen Ye involuntarily. Although he had a bad face, other than that, he didn't have any superfluous reaction.
Yin Manqing was flustered. She never thought about smoking, but she seemed to be angry. Aren't there always tests between lovers? To test whether the other party cares. If the other party's response is dull, it means there is really no chance.
Shen Ye knew very well that he couldn't get into their ways, but he couldn't control the impulses and panic in his heart. What he feared most was that Yin Manqing would give up on herself and fall for herself, but she just made him worry.
After all, it’s the tension that matters.
Even though he tried his best to hide it, his behavior had already betrayed him. Before the cigarette in Yin Manqing's hand could be put to his lips, Yin Manqing's hand was firmly grasped in his broad palm, as if he was afraid of accidentally burning himself with the sparking cigarette butt. She would rather be injured. She squeezed the cigarette butt tightly and turned her burning eyes towards Yin Manqing, "If you are eager to learn, don't learn. If you smoke like others, you will get tired of living."
The anger hidden in his heart could not come out, and harsh words could not make him pour out the fireworks in his heart.
Yin Manqing never thought that Shen Ye would behave so radically. She froze in place and looked at him stupidly. She was not sure what he had just said, and she couldn't believe that Shen Ye actually held her tightly. Her hands...
"Aye, your hand is burned." Fu Wan and Shen Ziqi shouted without missing Shen Ye's palm.
"Xiaoman, let go!"
Because of Fu Wan's reminder, Yin Manqing regained consciousness and immediately let go hurriedly. The tension between Fu Wan and Yin Manqing further highlighted Shen Ye's indifference.
Yin Manqing held his hand, but Shen Ye reflexively clenched it into a fist, as if the burnt place didn't hurt at all, "Let me see your hand..."
She never thought that things would turn out like this, she just wanted to test it. However, Yin Manqing regretted this test. She shouldn't have left no escape route for herself. If she knew that he would still care about her, what would she say? I won't say anything to break up with him.
"No need." Shen Ye still held his palm tightly and refused to show it to Yin Manqing.
"I want to see your wound." Yin Manqing was so anxious that her eyes burst into tears. Every time she was willful and disobedient, he was always the one who suffered. In the past, when she made mistakes and got into trouble, he would always take care of it for her. Endgame.
Shen Ye didn't want to see her tearful look, "Go to the bathroom." He strode away, his steps seemed particularly hasty.
Shen Ziqi and Fu Wan suddenly looked at each other in tacit understanding, unable to guess what kind of trick Shen Ye was playing. Yin Manqing followed Shen Ye.
Shen Ye looked at himself in the mirror. He noticed his excitement from what he had just done. His heart felt empty and without a purpose. No matter how harsh his words were or how ugly his face was, a simple action made him feel Completely betrayed.
Yin Manqing stood by the bathroom, waiting anxiously, as if she was afraid that Shen Ye would fly out without her sight if he had wings. She wished she could open the door and go in the next second. Just when she raised her hand to knock on the door, Shen Ye's door opened in time. Opening the door, they were very close to each other in an instant. Yin Manqing also clearly caught a glimpse of Shen Ye's frowning eyebrows. Was he worried about her? She was still worried about Shen Ye, right?
Yin Manqing stopped Shen Ye from moving forward, "Let me take a look, are you seriously injured?" She couldn't wait for Shen Ye's permission, and forcefully opened his palm. There was something in the palm that was neither big nor small, but it looked like But it is a bit shocking, the red cigarette butt mark. Even if this mark is healed, it will leave traces, right?
"Don't forget what you said." Shen Ye reminded. As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Manqing answered quickly, "I remember it."
However, this wound was for her. Inexplicably, Yin Manqing felt heartbroken and warm at the same time. She lowered her head and blew the wound gently for him, as if she were treating him like a child, cautious and afraid. It hurt him, "Don't worry, I won't forget what I said, but... you also have to promise me that no matter what happens, never hurt yourself."
Just like just now, Shen Ye could have ignored her, but his own willfulness brought trauma to him again.
"In addition, there is one more thing. You must also promise me not to make fun of Shen's future. I don't know what you are thinking now, and I don't understand these things in the business world, but I know that Shen is your hard work. You can't ruin your hard work with your own hands, as your parents, grandparents, and others will all be very sad."
While Yin Manqing was speaking, Shen Ye had quietly retracted his hand, widened the distance between them, and turned his back to Yin Manqing's back. He was both arrogant and withdrawn, which aroused the pain in Yin Manqing's heart, "It's because Are you avoiding me because you refuse to go home? After you left, I didn’t live at home. Even if you go back, you won’t be able to see me. If you don’t want to touch me in person in the future, I will try to avoid it. It’s just that ...Mom and dad are very worried about you and miss you. They don’t know how long you will refuse to see them, so they are very anxious. Go back and have a look, I can confirm that you will not be able to see me."
Hearing Yin Manqing's serious words in his ears, sadness and sorrow rushed over him, but from his mouth he just said a simple sentence, "You ask for so much."
With a contemptuous tone and contemptuous eyes, he added, "But it's just like you. I like to beg for help at every turn."
What hurtful words!
Even if he wanted to hide his nervousness towards her, it was a great hurt to Yin Manqing, but the tears hanging in the corners of his eyes stopped and he smiled reluctantly, "If you don't ask for help, you won't be Yin Manqing. The only difference from now on is that she won't be able to beg you."
Shen Ye was very irritated and left without paying attention...
The promise they made that they would never get drunk or return was ruined. They became people in two different worlds. Even if they could drink, eat, and chat together, they couldn't talk together - he was indifferent, and she lost her confidence.
Fu Wan couldn't wait for the two of them for a long time. When she came to visit, she found that Shen Ye's car gradually disappeared from sight. Then a text message from Shen Ye came to her, "Sorry, I ruined your interest. You continue, don't let her drink wine."
"You just let him go like this? Xiaoman, can't you see that Shen Ye is actually very nervous about you, and you don't want to find out the reason?"
Yin Manqing looked depressed at this time. It was obvious that she no longer had the slightest confidence to win back Shen Ye. Even if she was nervous, it didn't mean anything.
She sat down tiredly on the steps, "Fu Wan, I'm tired, I'm so tired, let me be alone for a while."
Unclarified thoughts, endless feelings, and a lover she can't forget. The despair and boredom hidden in Yin Manqing make her unable to continue. Her thick skin and mental toughness are all forcing her to let go...
