Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Care and Protection
Zhao Yuesheng, the senior that Li Huanhuan once had a crush on?
Li Huanhuan didn't expect that after so many years, he would meet him in such an occasion. Obviously everything in my memory has become blurry, but when we meet again, those blurry and unclear things gradually become clear in my mind.
Everything that happened in the past came to his mind vividly, leaving Li Huanhuan confused.
Senior Yuesheng?
Qin Shi, who was standing aside, looked at Li Huanhuan, who had an obviously confused expression, after hearing these four words, and then looked at the man in a suit standing behind Zhou Xianjing. His thick and handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly. In his mind, he seemed to have a rough guess about the identity of the man in front of him.
"It's you." Zhao Yuesheng said with a smile, looking very gentle.
"Yuesheng, do you know this lady?" Zhou Xianjing turned her head and asked.
"She was my junior in high school, a very cute girl," Zhao Yuesheng explained.
"What a coincidence."
Zhou Xianjing said, and then looked at Qin Shi, "Xiao Shi, what did you want to say just now?"
Li Huanhuan felt Qin Shi's hand holding hers and tightened it. Only then did she remember Qin Shi who was standing next to her. She looked at him guiltily and saw his frowning eyebrows.
There was a hint of struggle on Qin Shi's angular face.
He didn't want those friends who didn't understand the truth to involve him with Zhou Xianjing and say things that would cause Li Huanhuan to misunderstand. He didn't want Li Huanhuan to be unhappy, so just now, he had intended to introduce Li Huanhuan to everyone as the person he liked and make his position clear.
But now, he hesitated.
He didn't know if he was still qualified to do this?
If he told Li Huanhuan that she was the person he liked in front of Li Huanhuan's "senior", would Li Huanhuan be happy? Does she want to hide their relationship from this "senior Yuesheng"?
At this moment, he hated his "pending" status.
He wanted to act impulsively and announce their relationship in public, but he was also concerned about Li Huanhuan's feelings. Finally, in front of Zhou Xianjing and everyone's gaze, he slowly let go of Li Huanhuan's hand.
Li Huanhuan saw a flash of struggle in his eyes and felt the moment his hand was about to be released, so he held it tightly instead.
Qin Shi was stunned, turned his head and looked at her in surprise.
There was a hint of doubt in those dark eyes, but more of it was a sense of surprise that was eager to try. It's like a Border Collie waiting for its owner's command in the park. With just one command, the Border Collie will rush out without hesitation and bring back the toy ball thrown by its owner.
His eyes were very bright.
The emotions contained in it were so direct and passionate that Li Huanhuan felt ashamed.
If she minds the early appearance of Qin Shi's "white moonlight" Zhou Xianjing in the novel world, then Qin Shi will definitely also mind the "senior" in her memories.
At this moment, in a sense, they all felt the same.
"I, we..."
Li Huanhuan opened her mouth, wanting to tell Zhao Yuesheng, who was looking at them, that Qin Shi was the person she was considering dating. But when the words came to her lips, she thought of Zhou Xianjing in front of her, who was in the same dilemma as Qin Shi.
Qin Shi told her that he liked her.
But that was before Zhou Xianjing returned to China! Now that Zhou Xianjing has returned from abroad early, will Qin Shi change his mind? If Qin Shi's thoughts waver, then if she talks about her relationship with Qin Shi in front of Zhou Xianjing, will it affect the development of Qin Shi and Zhou Xianjing's relationship?
After all, in the plot of the novel, Zhou Xianjing is positioned as the "white moonlight" in the book.
The book does not describe the final ending, but if Qin Shi were to get married, his other half would definitely be this "white moonlight".
Li Huanhuan was in a dilemma and felt a bit bitter in his heart. She had been holding Qin Shi's hand firmly, but now she wanted to let go.
Qin Shi felt her hesitation, and the expectation in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Just now, he clearly felt that Li Huanhuan wanted to acknowledge their relationship in public. But now, she hesitated? Why? Is it because of concerns, or because of this man in a suit named "Zhao Yuesheng"?
Those dark eyes gradually became dim, as if there was a storm surging in them.
"I……"
Li Huanhuan's words became difficult to express when they came to his lips.
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly awkward, Zhou Jianyu stood up and said that he hadn't seen Zhou Xianjing for a long time and wanted to go to the terrace upstairs to have a good chat.
Zhou Xianjing is Zhou Jianyu's cousin, Qin Shi is Zhou Jianyu's good friend, and he knows the special relationship between Qin Shi and Li Huanhuan...
In the end, he turned out to be the most suitable candidate.
Such an "awkward" Shura scene was temporarily disrupted by the appearance of Zhou Jianyu.
"Who is this gentleman?" Zhou Jianyu looked at Zhao Yuesheng.
"This is Zhao Yuesheng, a friend I met abroad." Zhou Xianjing replied.
"Hello, Brother Yuesheng. Let's go, the private room is too stuffy, let's go upstairs." Zhou Jianyu greeted and led the two upstairs.
"Xiao Yu, wait for me, I'm going upstairs too." Hu Xun hurriedly chased after him.
With Hu Xun taking the lead, those friends who usually got along well with Qin Shi also picked up their drinks or coats and prepared to go upstairs.
In an instant, the private room became much emptier.
"Are you going?" Qin Shi turned around and asked Li Huanhuan.
Li Huanhuan raised his head, looked at him, and nodded subconsciously.
She followed Qin Shi outside. Zhou Jianyu and the others had already gone upstairs, so the corridor was relatively empty. Those friends who like lively atmosphere are still having fun in the dance floor outside. The intermittent sound, transmitted through the walls and windows into the room, had become much weaker.
Only Li Huanhuan and Qin Shi were left around.
When she reached the stairs, she stopped and said, "Qin Shi."
Qin Shi also stopped, turned around and looked at her silently.
"It's almost 11 o'clock. I want to go back." Li Huanhuan said with difficulty.
"Oh, don't you want to play for a while?" Qin Shi looked at the oil painting hanging in the corridor.
"No."
Li Huanhuan shook his head. "I'm so sorry. And happy birthday."
Zhou Xianjing's appearance still had an impact on her. She couldn't continue to stay here with a normal mentality, watching Qin Shi interact with the other party and watching his uninformed friends making a fuss on the side.
She didn't want Qin Shi's birthday party to be affected because of her.
"Oh, then let's go back. I'll let Jiao Jiao take you there." Qin Shi's attitude seemed a little unpredictable, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
"No, no." Li Huanhuan waved his hand quickly to stop him from taking out his phone. "It's relatively peaceful here. I can just go out and take a taxi. It's very convenient."
Since she didn't want to influence Qin Shi, there was no reason for her to let Jiao Jiao abandon her friends and send her off alone.
“I see.”
Qin Shi glanced at her calmly and put his phone in his pocket, "Then go."
"Okay, bye." Li Huanhuan waved at him.
The moment I turned around, an unspeakable feeling of grievance immediately surged into my heart.
She doesn't even know why?
I always feel that I am being too pretentious at the moment.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as she was about to walk out of sight, Qin Shi suddenly caught up with her.
The surging emotions in Li Huanhuan's heart stopped, he raised his head and looked at him in confusion.
Qin Shi pursed his lips, his tone sounding a little uncomfortable: "There are too many people in front, I'll take you through the back door."
A few minutes later, they were standing on the curb at the back door of the bar.
Li Huanhuan lowered his head and stared at the route map of the driver in the taxi app.
Qin Shi put his hands in his pockets and stared at the street lamp next to him in a daze.
There were cars passing by, but no one noticed them.
"Li Huanhuan."
Suddenly, Qin Shi called her.
"Um?"
Li Huanhuan struggled to pull his eyes away from the phone screen, "What?"
She looked at him blankly.
"you……"
Qin Shi frowned, with hesitation on his face, "Before, it was the man in a suit named Zhao Yuesheng, the 'senior' you told me about before, right?"
Finally, I asked it stiffly.
Li Huanhuan's heart made a "boom" sound and he thought to himself, "What is supposed to come has finally come."
She nodded and admitted, "Yes, it's the senior I mentioned before."
"Then, now you..."
Qin Shi lowered his head and stared into her eyes. "Li Huanhuan, I need to confirm! You really don't like him now, right?"
There was urgency and anxiety in those dark eyes.
This time, Li Huanhuan did not hesitate: "Yes, I have disliked it for a long time."
My liking for Senior Zhao Yuesheng was just a yearning and admiration for the beautiful and outstanding people around me during my teenage years. Or maybe it's a girlish sentiment.
She even felt that she didn't know Zhao Yuesheng that well.
What she admired at that time was just an excellent appearance and a perfect personality: good-looking, good at studying, gentle to others, and excellent in all aspects of the opposite sex.
“That’s great.”
Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly explained to her, "Sister Xianjing and I don't have that kind of special relationship. It was just our old friends who were ignorant and made trouble. Li Huanhuan, please don't misunderstand me."
He thought again of the booing in the private room.
Li Huanhuan looked at him, but she didn't feel relieved like Qin Shi. She just nodded to indicate "I understand."
"Li Huanhuan, you are too cold." Qin Shi was not satisfied with her reaction and complained.
However, he didn't really take it to heart. Seeing the car approaching, he said:
"Although I don't have any ambiguous feelings towards Sister Xianjing, she is still a friend I knew when I was a child, and she is also Xiaoyu's cousin. I haven't seen her for many years, so I need to go over and say hello..."
"I know."
Li Huanhuan interrupted him.
Just at this moment, the car that Li Huanhuan called arrived.
"Happy birthday, Qin Shi, you must have fun."
Li Huanhuan smiled and waved at him, "I'll go back first. You know, I usually go to bed early, so don't let me affect you. Otherwise, I'll be very sad."
After saying that, he got on the car happily.
"Then when you get home, remember to send me a message." Qin Shi reminded while standing on the side of the road.
"Got it." Li Huanhuan waved his hand.
After the car drove away, the smile on Li Huanhuan's face gradually disappeared, and a hint of sadness appeared between his brows.
