Chapter 889 So Many Fallacies
Sheng Yao stared at him, feeling a desolation in her heart, like the aftermath of the fireworks display. She hated this chilling feeling after the excitement even more than if she had never seen fireworks.
Just like when Shen Boyan agreed to come and watch the fireworks with her, after experiencing such a romantic scene, she almost thought that the two of them were already together, but now he ruthlessly rejected her, extinguishing her enthusiasm.
Sheng Yao's eyes were a little hot as she looked at Shen Boyan's figure, which seemed to be getting further and further away from her, becoming more and more blurry.
When she came to her senses, she subconsciously touched her cheek, only to find it was already ice-cold.
She turned away hurriedly, wiping her tears in a disheveled state.
Shen Boyan remained standing there motionless, his gaze unchanged even when he saw Sheng Yao shed tears.
After a while, Sheng Yao had composed herself. She turned around and gave Shen Boyan a bright smile, "It's okay, I have plenty of time. One day I'll make you fall for me!"
She had just cried, and her eyes were still a little red, but she was smiling so brightly, as if nothing had changed.
Shen Boyan watched her quietly, showing no reaction to her crying, but a flicker of emotion appeared in his eyes when he saw her smile.
But only for a moment, and he looked away. "Let's go, it's late, I'll take you home."
Sheng Yao nodded vigorously, "Yes."
She caught up with Shen Boyan and chattered beside him, "Shen Boyan, I accept your rejection of my confession, but could you be a little nicer to me? For example, when I look for you, when I want to be nice to you, you should at least give me a chance to pursue you."
Why are you so persistent?
"Because I like you. Anyway, I don't care, I'm going to pursue you until you agree to be with me, but the premise is that you don't refuse to meet me."
Shen Boyan sighed and remained silent.
In his view, neither agreeing nor refusing was the behavior of a scumbag.
Sheng Yao insisted on clinging to him, and because of their families' circumstances, Shen Boyan had no choice but to deal with her.
Shen Boyan was trying to hail a taxi by the roadside when Sheng Yao stopped him, saying, "Don't take a taxi. It's not far from here. It'll only take an hour to get to my uncle's house."
"An hour, not far?"
"Haven't you heard? With someone you like, even the longest walk is short. Come on, walk back with me. You already promised to watch the fireworks with me, so a little walk back won't make a difference, right?"
Are you sure? It'll take an hour to walk there.
Shen Boyan didn't believe that this pampered young lady could have gone this far.
“What’s there to be uncertain about? I used to be able to walk for three hours straight when I went shopping. You’re underestimating me.”
In the end, he agreed. Anyway, it saved him the cost of a taxi, and most importantly, he didn't want to go back so early.
As the two walked along the road, Sheng Yao reverted to her carefree, wealthy self as if nothing had ever happened.
Shen Boyan said, "With your looks and qualities, what kind of man couldn't you find? Why do you insist on clinging to me?"
"Can I find someone like you?"
Shen Boyan fell silent.
Sheng Yao laughed and said, "From childhood to adulthood, whatever I wanted, my family would give it to me. But because of this, no matter how precious something is in other people's eyes, it becomes just an ordinary toy in my hands."
"Most of the time, I can't find my hobbies, I can't find anything that interests me, and I don't have any life goals. Others think I'm very happy, but only I know that I'm just drifting through life every day."
She ran up to Shen Boyan, facing him, and walked backwards. "So you know what? You're the first person I've ever actively pursued. Even though you always reject me, I'm incredibly happy."
Shen Boyan twitched the corner of his mouth. "This is the young lady's trouble? I can't understand it."
"What? How could you not understand? My feelings for you..." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's like how you rebelled against your family, severed ties with them, and came to Chongqing to pursue your dreams. Do you understand now?"
"It's just that we pursue different things. You pursue dreams and career, while I pursue you as a person. So, we are like-minded."
"So many fallacies."
"How could that be a fallacy? Don't you think what I said makes sense? I know you just want to find an excuse to reject me. It's fine, go ahead and reject me. It's not like it's the first or second time. I'm used to it."
Shen Boyan remained silent.
Compared to Sheng Yao's constant chatter, he really couldn't find as much to say.
She walked backwards, her eyes fixed on Shen Boyan, not watching where she was going. She didn't know what she stepped on, and her body fell backwards uncontrollably.
"ah--"
Just as she was about to fall flat on her face, Shen Boyan grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
But due to inertia, the sound rushed into Shen Boyan's arms, and she unconsciously hugged Shen Boyan's neck tightly.
After calming down, Sheng Yao pressed her cheek against Shen Boyan's chest, and even through his clothes, she could hear his strong and powerful heartbeat.
Shen Boyan grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away, saying, "Walk properly."
Sheng Yao blushed, lowered her head and said "oh". She walked quietly beside Shen Boyan.
She was still thinking about the intimate contact they had just had. Unlike the hug she had during the fireworks display, which she had initiated, this time it was Shen Boyan who had taken the initiative and pulled her into his arms.
When she finally quieted down, Shen Boyan quickened his pace.
Sheng Yao couldn't keep up with him and jogged after him, saying, "Slow down, I can't keep up with you!"
Shen Boyan did not slow down.
After walking for about ten minutes, Sheng Yao was panting heavily, bent over, and supporting herself on her knees as she breathed, "I can't go on, I can't walk anymore."
Shen Boyan stopped and looked back at her.
"Can't you walk for three hours?"
"I said walk, not run!" Sheng Yao raised her head and looked at Shen Boyan not far away. Her heart was beating very fast and she felt like she couldn't breathe properly.
She clutched her chest, trying to calm herself, and said with difficulty, "I...I feel...not good."
After saying that, her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.
Shen Boyan's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to help her up. "Sheng Yao?"
He then noticed that Sheng Yao's face was pale, her lips were purple, and she was covered in cold sweat.
Shen Boyan seemed to remember that the Sheng family had mentioned that Sheng Yao was in poor health.
He didn't dare delay, so he picked up Sheng Yao and went to the roadside to flag down a car.
A taxi arrived, and he opened the door and got in, urging the driver, "Hurry, to the hospital."
The driver also saw Sheng Yao unconscious, stepped on the gas, and sped up to the top speed.
