He Yanchen walked in front and Liu Nian followed behind.
The two people kept a distance of about two meters.
Liu Nian walked with an elegant pace, saying as he went, "Why? Are you being considerate of her or are you afraid that the injury on your back will scare her?"
He Yanchen didn't stop.
Liu Nian continued to follow him, "If she can't even accept this, then if she knew you stabbed a living person more than a hundred times..."
Before she could finish her next words, He Yanchen suddenly turned around and tightly clamped his big hands around the woman's neck.
The man's height blocked the light from above, and his entire face was submerged in shadow. His dark eyes stared at the woman's face, and his bony fingers tightened little by little.
Liu Nian said nothing and just looked at He Yanchen.
As the man's fingers continued to tighten, her eyes gradually changed from initial calmness to panic, and finally to fear.
Her face gradually became redder, and she could no longer fold her arms indifferently across her chest. Instead, she grabbed the man's hand, and used her fingers tensely to pry open the man's fingers that were shackled on hers, hoping that he would let go.
No one passed by in the corridor.
The environment is eerily quiet.
Time seemed to have stopped.
When Liu Nian opened his mouth longing for air...
He Yanchen finally let go of his hand.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
While Liu Nian was breathing in the fresh air in big gulps, he couldn't stop coughing, and the fear in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
She used to think that He Yanchen wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
However, even if the man's eyes just now did not contain murderous intent, it was definitely not just a simple warning.
He Yanchen didn't leave this time. He just stood in front of her and said, "Whether you divorce or return to China, whatever you do has nothing to do with me. There's no need to contact me in the future."
"Really? Rex, if I hadn't been there, you would have a life on your hands right now. And you've helped me so much over the years, and I misunderstood you. What right do you have to just let it go?!"
Liu Nian's expression was cold.
She and He Yanchen had known each other for many years, and in her initial memory, the man was cowardly and taciturn.
When she saw him, the young boy had dark eyes and looked very gloomy.
At that time, the boy was bullied at school and she was one of the bullies.
The bullying stopped because his main bullies disappeared one by one around the end of the semester.
Until one day, she received a cross-border call from an unfamiliar number.
The person who called was He Yanchen, who asked her to go to a place to save someone.
Liu Nian still can't forget the scene he saw when he entered that room.
Later, He Yanchen returned from China and seemed like a different person. Although he still didn't communicate much with others, he became visibly more positive...
A lot happened in the years that followed.
Liu Nian also realized belatedly that her feelings towards He Yanchen had changed a long time ago.
"You helped me back then, and I paid off your ex-husband's huge gambling debt and settled the mess he caused. We're even now." He Yanchen stared at the woman with his dark eyes. "You don't have any bargaining chips to negotiate with me."
"Really?" Liu Nian sneered, "But you just wanted to kill me, didn't you? What's the difference between you and Miss Lin's father? If Miss Lin knew you looked like her father, she would definitely stay away from you."
He Yanchen looked at Liu Nian, his dark eyes were like a deep well, hiding invisible emotions.
-
Lin Zhixing stood alone at the door of the box waiting.
She could feel that the relationship between He Yanchen and Liu Nian was complicated, but they were not lovers.
When she just left, she also felt that He Yanchen had a side that she didn't know about.
The corridor was very quiet.
Time passes quietly.
Lin Zhixing looked down at the pattern on the carpet under her feet until a shadow blocked the light on one side of her.
"Why didn't you go into the box?"
The man's voice sounded, no different from before, plain but gentle.
"I...I'm not familiar with them, and I don't know what to say if I go in, so I might as well wait for you outside."
Lin Zhixing was telling the truth.
Even though it was just a brief contact, she could imagine what she would face if she went in alone.
Lu Heng would definitely ask many questions like "One Hundred Thousand Whys" that she couldn't answer.
"Well, go in."
The man's palm fell on her back, broad and warm.
During the second half of the meal, Lin Zhixing remained silent as before, eating with his head down.
Fortunately, the dinner ended early.
Because He Yanchen didn't drink, he could drive alone.
After getting in the car, He Yanchen asked her, "What do you think of the food here?"
"Well... it's not very good." Lin Zhixing said frankly, "It's expensive, the portions are small, and many of the dishes are weird..."
Although the decoration of Dongfenglou is ancient, the dishes are not traditional Chinese dishes, but more of some strange and innovative dishes.
Every dish is so innovative that it tastes bad.
"It's really average. This place was chosen by Lu Heng. I'll take you somewhere else to eat next time."
He Yanchen spoke in a casual tone.
Lin Zhixing glanced at the man beside him secretly.
It was completely dark, and the warm light from the street lamps shone through the glass, giving the man's profile a gentle outline.
It seemed as if everything that just happened in the restaurant corridor was an illusion.
After the car drove back home, Lin Zhixing took a shower and changed his clothes, then went to the study to find He Yanchen with a glass of boiled water.
The man sat in the wide chair behind the desk, seemingly still dealing with work matters.
Lin Zhixing placed the water cup and a few pills on the table. "Take the medicine and go to bed early after work."
He Yanchen raised his eyes.
The woman was standing next to his desk. Because she had just taken a shower, her long hair hung down naturally, and her whole temperament looked very gentle.
Liu Nian’s words just now echoed in his mind over and over again.
If she knew what he had done, would she leave...
He Yanchen stood up, took the cup of water and pills from the woman's hand, and drank the medicine.
"Great." Lin Zhixing pulled out a piece of chocolate from somewhere like a magician. "This is a reward for taking your medicine well."
She often used this trick when she was studying and interning in the hospital.
At first, she only gave candies to the children, and the adults in the same ward would also ask her for rewards.
Over time, she also developed the habit of giving candy to people when they were taking their medicine to encourage them.
He Yanchen lowered his eyes and took the candy from the woman's hand. His other hand clasped the woman's slender waist, and the distance between the two people was instantly shortened.
Lin Zhixing didn't expect the man to react like this, and she didn't know how to respond at first.
The study is bright.
She closed her eyes almost subconsciously, and in the end she only saw her own shadow reflected in the man's dark eyes.
The space is too quiet.
Time also becomes still.
It was unknown how long it had been before Lin Zhixing felt the man's soft and warm lips falling on her earlobe, and his teeth rubbed against her earlobe with forbearance.
He asked her: "How long will you think about that question..."
