But she never expected that one day, Zhou Yi would take the initiative to contact her.
Shen Bingyan took a deep breath. She didn't call Zhou Yi back immediately, but pondered for a moment before opening a certain messaging app.
There was also Zhou Yi's friend request above.
It seems that Zhou Yi didn't dial the wrong number, but rather that he was genuinely trying to contact her.
Shen Bingyan felt a mix of anticipation and trepidation, along with a sense of melancholy. She felt as if she were dreaming, that someone who had once avoided her would actually come looking for her.
Is that really true?
"Ding-dong—"
"Dear customer, Xiaomei has delivered your food. Please open the door."
The sound of a food delivery robot came from inside the room. Shen Bingyan walked over and took her dinner out of the robot's body.
Shen Bingyan had no appetite when dinner was placed on the table.
After much hesitation, she finally called Zhou Yi back.
The number you dialed is currently busy...
Shen Bingyan's eyes dimmed for a moment. Had she been blacklisted again?
Indeed, she shouldn't have harbored any illusions.
Shen Bingyan gave a self-deprecating laugh and closed her eyes.
However--
At that moment, Zhou Yi quickly packed a few clothes at home, then took his ID and got into the car heading to the airport.
He held up his phone and instructed the person on the other end: "After I leave Luzhou, continue looking for Shen Bingyan. Call me immediately if you have any news."
"In addition, besides looking for Shen Bingyan, you all take turns secretly protecting Aunt Zhou."
"There's no need to let her know; just protect her from afar in secret."
“Aunt Zhou has bodyguards. If the bodyguards can handle it, you don’t need to show up.”
Zhou Yi was going to Kyoto to treat that lady's illness, and Leader Yang would certainly protect his safety, so Zhou Yi did not bring any bodyguards.
He was on the phone with his bodyguard when suddenly a call came in.
After Zhou Yi finished explaining things to his bodyguard, he noticed that the incoming call had already ended.
Without hesitation, Zhou Yi immediately called back.
The phone rang more than a dozen times before being answered.
"Hello, Zhou Yi."
Upon hearing the female voice on the other end of the phone, three words immediately came to Zhou Yi's mind—Shen Bingyan!
Although he didn't know what Shen Bingyan's voice sounded like, he had a feeling that the person on the other end of the line, with that voice and that tone, must be Shen Bingyan.
Zhou Yi's heart suddenly started racing, and he asked nervously in a soft voice:
Is that Shen Bingyan?
After a moment of silence, the person on the other end replied, "Yes."
After confirming that the person on the other end of the phone was indeed Shen Bingyan, Zhou Yi's unease disappeared and was replaced by emotion, with the corners of his mouth curving upwards as much as possible.
"Hello, Shen Bingyan."
"I'm sorry it took me so long to get in touch with you. I only recently discovered that I had a few numbers on my blacklist."
"I went to the prison to find Su Qingjiao and found out that she had blocked your number behind my back, which is why I only found out now that you had called me before."
"I'm so sorry, I only found out about you now!"
Shen Bingyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night view of Luzhou, while Zhou Yi's explanation could be heard in her ears.
Thump!! Thump thump!!
My heart is racing.
Shen Bingyan stood there, holding her phone.
Although the two were only talking on the phone and hadn't seen each other's faces, Zhou Yi's rising intonation reflected his current mood.
Contrary to her assumption, Zhou Yi did not dislike her.
Zhou Yi was actually quite happy when he learned that she was the one who answered the phone.
She suddenly remembered that all the things she heard about Zhou Yi disliking her were said by Su Qingjiao.
She heard from Su Qingjiao that Zhou Yi threw her love letters into the toilet, and she also believed all the things Su Qingjiao told her. In addition, her phone number was blocked. Only then did she believe that Zhou Yi hated her.
It turns out that Su Qingjiao was behind all of this.
At the moment the misunderstanding was cleared up, Shen Bingyan felt a mix of emotions, both感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of deep emotion) and 悔傷 (huǐshēng, laughable) about the past: "So, you didn't push me away time and time again after all..."
It turns out that she had been deceived by Su Qingjiao for so long.
Fortunately, although the process was bumpy, the result was satisfactory.
After four years of misunderstanding, the two of them finally had a real conversation today.
Shen Bingyan remained silent. After Zhou Yi explained Su Qingjiao's situation to her, he brought up the matter of the villa in the west of the city.
It turns out the two missed each other again...
"Young Master Zhou, we've arrived at the airport."
The driver's voice came from the other end of the phone.
All I heard Zhou Yi say from the other end was, "Are you still in Luzhou?"
"If possible, I would like to ask you to wait for me for a few days until I return from out of town before I contact you again."
Shen Bingyan smiled slightly and replied, "Okay."
It just so happens that she is currently in poor health and it is not suitable for her to meet.
I'll meet Zhou Yi again in a new light a few days after I've recovered.
Knowing that Zhou Yi had to catch a flight, Shen Bingyan didn't say anything more, and the two quickly ended the call.
After hanging up the call, Shen Bingyan opened Green Bubble, reached out and touched Zhou Yi's profile picture. She seemed to be in a good mood and immediately accepted Zhou Yi's friend request.
At the same time, Zhou Yi was walking into the airport.
Suddenly, the system's voice rang in my mind.
[Shen Bingyan's favorability increased by 10!]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Zhou Yi was taken aback, but his smile became even more blatant.
God knows how happy he is now, finally able to speak with Shen Bingyan.
The two will meet once he returns from Kyoto.
Although this was his first conversation with Shen Bingyan, the system's positive feedback had already said it all, proving that Shen Bingyan was not a cold and unapproachable person.
He hadn't even put in any effort yet, and Shen Bingyan's affection for him had already reached 60%.
You really can't judge a person by their name or their demeanor!
Su Qingjiao looks pitiful, but she is like a glutton who will never be satisfied. No matter how well she does, she always feels that she is not good enough for her.
Shen Bingyan may seem aloof, but she is rich inside. Therefore, she doesn't make demands on Zhou Yi and doesn't feel insecure all the time. She doesn't need money or twisted sacrifices to make up for her insecurity.
After passing through security, Zhou Yi received a friend request from Shen Bingyan on his phone. He added Shen Bingyan to his favorites list before entering the boarding gate through the VIP channel.

Kyoto.
After receiving the call from Lao Tang in Luzhou, Leader Yang eagerly awaited Zhou Yi's arrival.
He first told his wife about Zhou Yi, praising him highly.
"Don't let his young age fool you, his medical skills are truly remarkable."
"As you know, Old Tang has been suffering from this condition for many years. I've introduced him to several leading figures in traditional Chinese medicine, but they can only offer conservative treatment."
"But Zhou Yi cured Lao Tang's illness in just a few days."
“When I visited Luzhou last time, he looked radiant and full of energy.”
