Chapter 222 An Awkward Situation for Two
Yan Yu was overjoyed when he saw Shen Jin.
Just as he was about to step forward, Yan Yu stopped after taking only one step, hesitating and unsure whether he should go up.
He knew that Shen Jin was avoiding him, so he definitely didn't want to see him.
Yan Yu watched Shen Jin from a distance, hesitating for a long time, but did not go up.
Finally, Yan Yu gently took two steps back and did not go forward to disturb Chen Jin.
He felt that Shen Jin must be feeling bad right now, so he deliberately avoided him, perhaps just wanting to be alone for a while.
Anyway, as long as I know that Shen Jin is alright and nothing's wrong, that's all that matters.
If he went up at this moment, he wouldn't know what to say, and the two of them would feel even more awkward. Besides, maybe after Shen Jin calmed down a bit, Shen Jin wouldn't be so angry anymore.
The relationship between him and Shen Jin really couldn't afford to deteriorate any further.
Thinking of this, Yan Yu carefully hid behind a tree, making no sound so that Shen Jin would not find him.
Yan Yu secretly watched Shen Jin, waiting for him.
Yan Yu had been secretly watching Shen Jin and noticed that Shen Jin was in a daze, remaining almost motionless in that position.
Even the frequency of his blinking slowed down a lot, and his eyes were no longer anxious, staring blankly ahead, as if he had frozen in time.
Looking at Shen Jin like this, Yan Yu suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Shen Jin must be feeling very frustrated right now, all because he was too impulsive last night. He's really afraid that once Shen Jin has sorted out his thoughts, he'll confront him directly and then never talk to him again.
Yan Yu's mind was in turmoil, filled with a multitude of thoughts. Unconsciously, he recalled the events of the previous night.
So, Yan Yu was a little uneasy about what Shen Jin was thinking. He couldn't guess what Shen Jin was thinking, nor did he know what Shen Jin would do next.
Yan Yu was deeply concerned about what happened last night, so Shen Jin's thoughts were very important to him.
He desperately wanted to know, yet dared not know, fearing that he would not receive the answer he desired.
Last night, he was really too impulsive and had no rationality at all. He knew perfectly well that Shen Jin was unconscious at that time, and he knew perfectly well what the consequences would be if he did that, but he still did it.
He knew he shouldn't have done it, but he did it anyway, as if he had been poisoned by the Ashes, and there was no antidote.
At this moment, Shen Jin was still leaning against that tree, looking somewhat tired and not in good condition.
After staring blankly for a long time, Shen Jin sighed deeply, lowered his head, and covered his face with his hands.
"I'm really going crazy..." Shen Jin muttered to himself.
The voice was very soft, only Shen Jin could hear it, while Yan Yu, watching Shen Jin's actions from a distance, thought that Shen Jin must be even more annoyed.
Immediately, Yan Yu's heart jumped, and he felt extremely uneasy.
"What should I do..." Shen Jin buried his face in his hands and continued to whisper.
If he can't come up with a solution soon, he might really go crazy.
This feeling is so unbearable, like someone forcibly opened my heart and stuffed a wad of cotton inside, a tangled mess I can't untangle.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time—this feeling of having absolutely no idea what to do.
Although Yan Yu had been bothering him before, which annoyed him, he could always handle it. No matter what, he had never felt so at a loss as he did now.
If he could, he would like to stay hidden here and not go out until he figured out how to face Yan Yu.
But that's impossible. They're all together, and those tomb raiders just don't have anything to do today, but they'll have to set off sooner or later.
He can only dodge the first day of the month, not the fifteenth, so he will have to face it sooner or later. He must figure out how to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise, continuing like this is not a solution at all.
At this moment, Yan Yu also felt as if his heart was being clenched, and he was extremely nervous.
Shen Jin covered his face with his hands and remained silent for a long time before finally lowering his hands and letting out a long breath.
After thinking about it for so long, he still didn't know how to face Yan Yu.
It's so difficult. I have absolutely no idea what to do, and I haven't figured out how to face Yan Yu at all.
After a while, Chen Jin raised his head slightly.
When Yan Yu saw that Shen Jin's gaze had moved, he quickly hid behind a tree, afraid that Shen Jin would see him.
However, Shen Jin raised his eyes and only looked at the leaves above his head.
Patches of sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling in a dappled pattern on Shen Jin's face. Shen Jin squinted slightly, looking at the hazy light.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and many leaves fell from above. Shen Jin quietly watched the leaves fluttering in the air.
A leaf fell onto Shen Jin's face, and Shen Jin squinted slightly.
After a moment, Shen Jin slowly reached out and took the leaf off his face, placing it in his palm and examining it closely.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and almost stepped forward, but in the end he managed to hold back.
He decided to wait until Shen Jin calmed down before making a decision. Right now, he just needed to wait for Shen Jin to return before secretly following him back.
Shen Jin stared at the leaf that had turned somewhat yellow and remained silent for a long time before playing with it in his hand.
After a while, Shen Jin lowered his head again and began to stare blankly, motionless, just like Yan Yu had done when he first came over and saw Shen Jin.
So Yan Yu continued to steal glances at Shen Jin.
For several hours, Yan Yu watched in a daze. During this time, Yan Yu's feelings changed countless times. He wanted to go up to Shen Jin several times, but he managed to hold back in the end.
He didn't know why Shen Jin could be in a daze for hours. He was so anxious that he was on the verge of collapse. The feeling made him very flustered, and he had no idea what to do.
It has taken a very long time to guess what Shen Jin was thinking, and he still couldn't figure it out.
Shen Jin remained in the same position, staring blankly at the ground, completely unaware that someone was watching him.
Yan Yu was a little nervous, his fingers gripping the tree beside him tightly, so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white.
After a long while, Yan Yu let go and started picking at the bark with his fingers, biting his lower lip. No matter how much he tried to mentally prepare himself, it was no use.
He still didn't dare go up, and he still didn't dare speak to Shen Jin.
Just then, something suddenly passed by Yan Yu and bumped into his foot.
Yan Yu was lost in thought when he was suddenly startled by the noise. Almost instinctively, he took a step back and stepped on a tree branch.
He stepped on the branch and snapped it with a cracking sound.
Looking down, he saw a rabbit passing by, looking at him innocently.
"Who's there?!" Shen Jin heard the noise and immediately looked up in Yan Yu's direction.
Yan Yu was still in a daze when he was startled by Shen Jin's words, and his heart started pounding.
Shen Jin has found him, what should we do?
The rabbit glanced at Yan Yu and immediately ran away.
Shen Jin frowned slightly, looking at the sliver of clothing peeking out from behind the tree, and realized that someone was hiding behind it.
Shen Jin's brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Come out, I've already seen you." Shen Jin said to Yan Yu after a moment of silence.
Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu could no longer hide and had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out.
Shen Jin watched the person walk out, and when he saw that it was Yan Yu, he was stunned for a moment, and then became even more embarrassed.
"I..." Yan Yu scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu, unsure of what to say, and Yan Yu was also at a loss for words, creating an awkward atmosphere.
"How long have you been here?" Shen Jin asked Yan Yu somewhat awkwardly.
"About... a few hours ago," Yan Yu replied to Shen Jin in a low voice, his head bowed like a schoolchild who had made a mistake.
Hearing Yan Yu say that he had been there for several hours, Shen Jin felt even more embarrassed.
He had been lost in thought for hours without realizing how much time had passed, and Yan Yu had been watching him for hours without him noticing.
Then, Shen Jin looked away from Yan Yu, and Yan Yu remained silent.
The two of them remained silent facing each other.
The entire forest was eerily quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional bird call, which only made the atmosphere more awkward.
After a long while, Shen Jin finally shifted his gaze and looked at Yan Yu again. Yan Yu immediately stood up straight and looked at Shen Jin.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Jin asked Yan Yu.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's question, Yan Yu hesitated for a while before answering, "I was a little worried about you... so I came to find you."
Shen Jin slightly raised his eyes and looked at Yan Yu, and the two locked eyes.
“Um… when I woke up this morning, I didn’t see you, and then they told me you came here, so I…” Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin, a little nervous, and continued to explain.
He explained in great detail, afraid that Shen Jin would be angry.
Shen Jin continued to watch him quietly, without saying anything.
"I saw you were thinking about something, so I didn't come over. I... I didn't mean to," Yan Yu continued to explain.
He thought he could just hide, but a rabbit suddenly appeared out of nowhere, causing him to be discovered by Shen Jin.
Shen Jin listened to Yan Yu's explanation, pursed his lips, looked away, and remained silent.
An awkward yet ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two.
