Chen Yu tried to doze off for a while, but found that she couldn't fall asleep at all. She had slept for a long time on the plane that afternoon.

She sat up irritably, rubbing her hair. Why did she suddenly think of Shen Yan again? One of the purposes of her trip was to escape him, but it seems that after living together for so long, Chen Yu found that she would feel a little uncomfortable if she was away from Shen Yan for even a day.

I simply sat on the small balcony and enjoyed the breeze.

The wind was just the right strength at night, but it felt very comfortable.

Chen Yu squinted, enjoying the moment. Her phone vibrated. She didn't want to look at it, but somehow she picked it up and glanced at it anyway.

It was a message sent to her by Shen Yan.

[Chen Yan: Tell me your room number and the hotel.]

[fish: What?]

[Chen Yan: I need to make sure you're safe.]

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, but still told Shen Yan. It was normal for Shen Yan to be worried about her traveling so far alone, so it wasn't strange for him to tell her.

Half an hour later, Shen Yan still hadn't replied to the message. Chen Yu turned off her phone speechlessly. Why didn't he ask anything else?

Chen Yu was very unhappy. Was Shen Yan really stupid or just pretending?

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

The doorbell rang, and Chen Yu jumped up, a sense of panic creeping into her heart.

My mind started to wander to things I'd seen online. Could it be that someone had come knocking on my door?

She immediately went back to her room, locked the balcony door, and drew the curtains.

The doorbell rang a few times and then stopped. Chen Yu didn't even dare to look through the peephole, afraid of seeing an unfamiliar male face. If it was really as the internet said, and she was being targeted, that would be terrible.

On second thought, such an expensive hotel should have good security.

Before I could think, the doorbell rang again, becoming increasingly urgent, and there was even banging on the door.

"Chen Yu? You're not inside?"

A familiar voice rang out, followed by the sound of her own phone ringing. Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then opened the door and saw Chen Yan carrying a suitcase.

"You...how did you get here?"

"I'm worried it won't be safe for you to be alone."

Shen Yan was wearing a black suit and looked a little haggard, but he still looked like a cool and handsome man.

"But don't you have any holidays?"

"Yes, I discussed it with the boss and we've sped up the project."

Shen Yan dragged his suitcase inside, sat down in a chair, and rubbed his eyes wearily.

Chen Yu handed him a bottle of water, and heard Chen Yan's stomach growl. "I'll order you something to eat."

Shen Yan grabbed Chen Yu's hand. "Are you still angry with me?"

"No, I'm not angry with you. I'm just struggling with myself."

Chen Yu had long since figured it out: the reason she harbored such resentment was because of her own unwillingness to accept defeat.

The position of team leader was originally hers, but it couldn't be won over by someone with connections.

She had tried her best, but it seemed to be of no use.

"Then why didn't you wait for me to come together?"

"I'm in a bad mood, I don't want to wait anymore."

Chen Yu sat on the bed, her eyes unconsciously glancing to the side. She didn't dare to meet Shen Yan's gaze. If she told Shen Yan about work, he would be even more certain that Chen Yu should stay at home.

"Why are you in a bad mood? You have to tell me a reason."

Her stern tone betrayed a hint of anger. Chen Yu knew that anyone would be puzzled by her running away so far without saying a word, but she simply didn't want to say anything.

"I don't want to talk about it."

Shen Yan remained silent for three seconds. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."

Chen Yu got up, picked up the menu on the desk, scanned the code to order food, and bought some easily digestible items for Chen Yan.

In order to get here, Shen Yan didn't even eat dinner.

It was all so that I could see Chen Yu sooner.

She silently went back to bed and lay down. Although Shen Yan's arrival made her somewhat happy, she felt more uncomfortable than anything else.

Seeing his face brings back a lot of things I don't want to remember.

Chen Yu's phone, which was on the bedside table, rang. It was Jiang Yang calling.

"Hey Chen Yu, where is your hotel? Damn, we've been looking for ages, and Shen Yan isn't answering his calls."

"What? Why are you looking for my hotel?"

"We've come to find you! The whole village has come! Hurry up, we're all exhausted."

Chen Yu hung up the phone and sent Jiang Yang the hotel's location, a question lingering in her mind.

"What does Jiang Yang mean by this?"

She looked at Shen Yan with a puzzled expression.

“I told them that you came to Sanya, and as soon as they heard that I was coming, they all came to keep you company.”

"Come with me? But I'd rather have some fun by myself."

"It's been a long time since we've all had a holiday to get together and have fun."

Shen Yan took a sip of water, turned on his computer, and started looking at the data. Chen Yu was a little annoyed. If you're just here to play, why did you have to turn on your computer?

She gets a headache just looking at work now.

Ding-dong, the doorbell rang, and Chen Yu opened the door to see Huang Xiaoni and Jiang Yang.

Li Ke'er and Wang Yue followed behind.

"you..."

"Surprised? Unexpected? We're all here."

Wang Yue looked at Chen Yu with a smile. She knew that Chen Yu had been in a bad mood lately and was always absent-minded when she chatted with her.

"Why did everyone come here?"

"We haven't gone out to play in so long, let's go out and have some fun tonight!"

Li Ke'er was almost jumping up and down. After everyone went back to their respective rooms to tidy up, they called Chen Yu and Shen Yan to go out for dinner together.

However, Chen Yu had already ordered everything, and the hotel staff had already brought it up.

"I'm not eating anymore. Let's go out to eat with them. I'll reimburse you for this."

With a stern and domineering air, he pulled Chen Yu out the door, leaving the bowl of noodles lying quietly on the table, abandoned.

Li Ke'er and Wang Yue chose a music restaurant.

The music inside sounded quite nice, which made Chen Yu feel much more relaxed.

Just like in college, everyone chatted about their recent situations. Wang Yue complained the most, saying that her workload was enormous.

Jiang Yang glared at her. "Don't pretend. My parents said it was your own request."

"Hehe, this is just to show off my abilities."

Huang Xiaoni approached Chen Yu again, asking her to come work at her company, offering her the same salary as Li Ke'er, seven thousand yuan.

Chen Yu was tempted. She did indeed want to quit her job, and that was the reason for her stubbornness. She didn't want to do as Shen Yan wished.

"Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer in two days."

This was Chen Yu's answer; in fact, she had already prepared herself for this, and she would go to Huang Xiaoni's company to help out.

Since they've extended such a warm invitation, it's not really appropriate to refuse.

"I support you going."

Shen Yan took a bite of chicken and said quietly, "Actually, I feel quite at ease with Chen Yu being with Huang Xiaoni."

This way, Chen Yu can suffer much less.
