Chapter 3 Knitwear "He just left you here all alone..."
I brought this up with He Man two days later.
He Man came to Liang Yizhi and asked to borrow a short leather skirt from a certain brand.
She was going to attend an offline event today. The brand had very high requirements for the content, and He Man had finally finalized the outfit with them. Who would have thought that at this crucial moment, when she arrived at the venue, there would be a problem with the outfit?
He Man is just a moderately famous print model, and she wouldn't dare offend the brand on such a big occasion.
Changing clothes on short notice is impossible unless she never wants to work with them again. The only option is to find something similar to fall back on.
The assistant had already gone to a nearby shopping mall to buy it, but He Man thought she should ask Liang Yizhi again. Her residence was in the city center, very close to the event venue.
Without saying a word, Liang Yizhi rummaged through her drawers and found the dress, then delivered it to her.
Having solved her immediate problem, He Man roared on WeChat:
【Yizhi! You are my goddess! I love you to death!】
[Can I come over to your place to stay overnight after I finish tonight? I'll be there to pamper you!]
Liang Yizhi laughed out loud when she saw the message, and raised her hand to type:
Sure. You're welcome anytime.
When He Man arrived at Liang Yizhi's door at 10 p.m., she was still wearing heavy makeup.
It was cool, so she wore a black vest with a leather jacket and a black leather skirt that Liang Yizhi had given her. Her long legs were hanging out, and she looked like she was about to get arthritis.
Liang Yizhi told He Man to take a hot shower first.
After washing up, the two put on face masks and lay side by side on the bed.
In the private space, on an endless night, once the girls started talking, they couldn't stop.
Liang Yizhi recounted to He Man what had happened after Xie Yun got drunk the last time.
"He's getting impatient," He Man concluded after hearing this. "If you have meat in your mouth but can't get it for a year or two, wouldn't you be impatient?"
He Man snorted twice: "No matter how well a man pretends, his true nature will eventually be revealed, right?"
Liang Yizhi wiped the wrinkles from the face mask on her face: "But he never used to be like this."
"That's why the true nature revealed after drinking is even more authentic."
He Man leaned closer: "Yizhi, don't tell me you don't really believe that there's anyone in this world who's seriously having a pure love affair with you, especially a man in his twenties, in the prime of his youth and full of vigor. Unless he's incapable, it's impossible for him not to have those thoughts."
"That's too absolute..."
He Man: "And what about you? You don't want to either?"
He Man got to the point. Liang Yizhi stammered, "...I'm not in a hurry."
He Man understands her.
Liang Yizhi is a conservative person who has her own definition of a relationship, and she has a very subjective standard for judging each stage. In her mind, only after that standard is met can the relationship move to the next level.
He Man: "You just overthink things. You're always thinking about this and that. When it comes to love between men and women, there's not so much to think about. You just have to rely on hormones to do some crazy things."
Since the topic had come up, He Man suddenly thought of the gossip she had recently heard about in the entertainment circle and excitedly shared it with Liang Yizhi.
Liang Yizhi listened with great interest.
The fact that the protagonist of the event wasn't themselves made it a topic of conversation.
The two chatted until late at night, until their eyelids were sticking together before they finally fell into a deep sleep.

Liang Yizhi thought that He Man's words might not be without reason.
Xie Yun had always treated her with propriety and tact. He would never force her to do anything she didn't want to do.
The respect shown to her made her feel at ease and comfortable with the distance and way they interacted.
Now that her relationship with Xie Yun has gradually stabilized, perhaps it's time to loosen the city wall guarding the border and allow their relationship to enter a new phase.
Call her shy or pretentious, it doesn't matter.
Perhaps people always harbor a sacred fantasy about that kind of thing. Liang Yizhi hopes that it will be a sincere surrender in a beautiful atmosphere.
She wanted to wait for the right opportunity.
Once the right atmosphere is created, it becomes an opportune moment to make a romantic encounter seem natural.
The orchestra has a performance in City B this weekend.
Taking this opportunity, Liang Yizhi tentatively asked Xie Yun if he wanted to go to City B with her.
She and Xie Yun haven't gone on a trip together yet. She has performances on weekends, and Xie Yun has to work on weekdays, so their schedules don't quite match.
If Xie Yun has time, they can spend a short weekend there, which would be their first trip together.
Xie Yun readily agreed.
Since it was her initiative to extend the invitation, and she didn't want Xie Yun to be distracted from his work, Liang Yizhi took on all the preparations herself and started working on the travel itinerary.
After briefly planning her itinerary, Liang Yizhi browsed various platforms and booked a Japanese-style hot spring hotel. It offered good privacy and had a beautiful garden landscape. After her trip, soaking in the hot spring at the hotel in the evening was the perfect way to relax.
Thinking of this, Liang Yizhi became a little nervous again.
-
Saturday.
Liang Yizhi performed in City B according to the established schedule.
Before the performance, she received a call from Xie Yun.
Xie Yun: "Zhizhi, it's really a last-minute thing... I have to fly to Guangzhou with my team tomorrow and will be back next Tuesday. I probably can't make it today. How about I come see you another time when I have the chance?"
It's impossible not to be disappointed.
Liang Yizhi didn't directly express her unhappiness, but instead used an excuse to decline his offer, which was a tactful way of expressing herself.
"I have work next weekend, so let's talk about it later."
Xie Yun tried to coax her for a long time, but Liang Yizhi listened absentmindedly.
There's a knot in my heart that's been hard to untie for a long time.
Thinking about the preparations she had made for tonight, Liang Yizhi sighed and found it somewhat ridiculous.
Fortunately, only she knew about these things.
Since she didn't need to wait for Xie Yun, she didn't need to linger in the city. Liang Yizhi changed her flight and returned to Yucheng that same day.
When Liang Yizhi returned to Yucheng, it was a little after 7 p.m. Because her ticket was rescheduled late, she did not travel on the same flight as her colleagues.
She got off the plane alone. Liang Yizhi didn't notice that her phone was long dead. The battery bar in the upper right corner was red, showing only 3% left.
She panicked. The amount of electricity was far too little for a taxi to get home, and she didn't have any cash on her.
Liang Yizhi opened her phone, wanting to tell Xie Yun, but she was still angry with him. She also thought that Xie Yun didn't have a car, and if he came to pick her up, she would have to take a taxi, so she gave up the idea.
She opened her contacts and, with only three bars of battery left, dialed Gu Yinyan's number.
After ringing a few times, the phone was answered.
“Gu Yinyan,” Liang Yizhi said immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you busy?" Liang hesitated before explaining her situation. "I just flew back from City B and I'm at the airport. My phone only has 3% battery left... Could you come pick me up?"
After listening, Gu Yinyan didn't waste any more words: "Which entrance?"
"T2".
"I'm coming over now, it'll take about half an hour."
Liang Yizhi could hear slight static on his end; he must have gotten up and was preparing to go out.
Gu Yinyan said, "Don't move around. Find a place to wait for me. Use electricity sparingly."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the phone didn't give her the chance to "use it sparingly." Once the last bit of battery was used up, it immediately and listlessly turned off the screen.
Liang Yizhi put her phone in her pocket and went to sit in the airport coffee shop.
The location is conspicuous; Gu Yinyan should be able to find him.
Liang Yizhi picked up a magazine to pass the time, glancing at it half-heartedly.
Lost in the passage of time, Liang Yizhi was engrossed in an interview in a magazine when someone snatched the booklet from her hands.
Gu Yinyan stood to one side, picked up the magazine, and glanced at the cover.
Today, he was dressed unusually casually, wearing a black cardigan with the V-neck slightly open, connecting with his long neck and sharp jawline to create a pleasingly exposed scene.
The cardigan had loose stitches, and you could vaguely see his skin tone underneath the fabric. He had a good physique and could pull off this difficult style.
He placed the magazine on the table, his gaze sweeping down on her.
"Is Xie Yun just going to leave you here all alone like this?"
