Chapter 42 I Won’t Bother You Again
Song Yanzheng is usually gentle and Lin Yan rarely sees him lose his temper.
But at this moment, a few sparks were faintly rising above his face.
"Yan Yan, am I so unbearable in your eyes? I admit that I married Xing Yingxue for my future, but the Xing family was just paving the way for me. I am diligent, motivated, and capable! That's why no one in the Xing family looks down on me!"
Song Yanzheng lowered his eyes, and the light reflected on his lenses, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.
Only his deep voice could be heard slowly coming.
"Yan Yan... do you think I'm working so hard to climb the ladder just for myself? I want to become stronger and improve my status so that I can make you..."
"I remember clearly all the hardships you endured, all the times you were bullied, all the nightmares you suffered every night, and every tear you shed. Yanyan, there are some things... I can't say them in my current position, but I hope you can understand me..."
If it were in the past, Lin Yan might have been touched by his words.
But now, she just felt it was ridiculous.
But she herself was surprised at her inner peace.
She didn't expect that one day when she faced Song Yanzheng, she would really be able to remain calm.
She was a little tired, so in order to end it quickly, she told the truth.
"Don't worry, I'm not with Xing Yu. We've never been together from the beginning to the end."
Song Yanzheng confirmed: "Really?"
"Yeah." Lin Yan stood up: "I won't eat anymore. I'm going back first."
Lin Yan walked out of the restaurant, and Song Yanzheng chased after her, insisting, "Yan Yan, are you sure you didn't lie to me?"
Lin Yan asked back, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Song Yanzheng breathed a sigh of relief and habitually raised his hand to touch Lin Yan's head, but she dodged it first.
"Brother Yan Zheng, please be careful."
Song Yanzheng held his hand in the air for a few seconds before he stiffly withdrew it.
A feeling of bitterness began to well up in my heart again.
He stared at her, his eyes moist, and forced a wry smile helplessly.
"Yan Yan, I never thought that our relationship would become like this..."
Yeah, she didn't expect it either.
How did it become like this?
Lin Yan: "No one will be with anyone forever. 'Forever' is just a degree, not a time."
Song Yanzheng seemed to be hiding his emotions, took out his phone and called a taxi: "Okay, I'll take you home."
"No, I'll go back by myself."
"Can't I give you a last visit?" Song Yanzheng's eyes had dimmed. "Yan Yan, I won't bother you again."
With the words "I will never bother her again", Lin Yan got into the car.
She and Song Yanzheng sat in the back row, and they were silent all the way.
When passing by a dessert shop, she suddenly asked the driver to stop.
"What's wrong?" Song Yanzheng asked.
Lin Yan had already opened the car door: "Buy something."
Song Yanzheng was surprised when Lin Yan got into the car carrying a four-inch cake.
"Yan Yan, you never ate desserts before, why did you want to buy a cake?"
Lin Yan placed the cake on her lap, protecting it with both hands. She casually replied, "It's good to have something sweet occasionally."
Back at the community, Song Yanzheng got off the car with her.
Lin Yan said, "You don't have to send me upstairs. I can go up by myself."
Song Yanzheng nodded, but looked at her reluctantly.
"Yan Yan, can you give me one last hug? From now on... I will completely leave your life."
Before Lin Yan could refuse, Song Yanzheng had already stretched out his arms and gently embraced her.
After just a brief moment, Song Yanzheng let go and scratched her nose.
"Goodbye, Yanyan."
"Well, bye."
Lin Yan turned and left. Song Yanzheng watched her go, hoping that she would be the same as before.
Keep looking back at him.
But this time.
She never looked back once.
Lin Yan, it seems like he really lost her...
On the eighteenth-floor balcony, Xing Yu bit his cigarette and looked at the two people downstairs.
There is no warmth between his brows.
It was like a bottomless pool of stagnant water, deep and gloomy.
After smoking the last half of his cigarette, he put it out and went back into the house.
He opened his phone and looked at the surveillance video of Lin Yan standing outside the door.
He installed the miniature camera at the door when Lin Yan just moved in.
One is for her safety, and the other is to know when she goes out to work and when she comes home every day.
At this moment, Lin Yan was outside the door holding a cake and wondering whether to knock on the door.
After thinking for a long time, she hung the cake at the door.
He took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Xing Yu.
"I pushed you last night, and your leg injury got worse. Remember to take the cake at the door as an apology."
After sending the message, Lin Yan just took out the key to open the door when the door opposite opened.
"Apology must be made in person to be sincere."
Lin Yan turned around and saw Xing Yu leaning against the door with his hands in his pockets, looking at her.
Lin Yan's eyes shifted to his legs: "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Xing Yu took the cake off the door handle and leaned sideways: "Come in."
"No, I'm too tired today and want to sleep."
Xing Yu knew what was going on, so he deliberately said, "Did you work overtime today? You got off work so late."
Lin Yan didn't mention Song Yanzheng: "Yeah, I worked overtime for a while."
Xing Yu's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and his eyes gradually became thicker and darker.
But he didn't choose to expose her.
After a long time, he lowered his head and chuckled. When he looked up again, the complicated emotions in his eyes had completely disappeared.
"Friend, I can't finish the cake by myself."
"Very small."
"My friend, do you want me to carry you in?"
“…” Lin Yan walked into the house.
The two sat down on the sofa, and Xing Yu took out the cake from the bag.
It is a small blue and white cake.
The middle of the cake is decorated with a cute Doraemon doll.
Xing Yu untied the cake ribbon and asked, "Why did you buy me a cake to apologize?"
"You didn't have cake on your birthday yesterday, so this is a good time to make up for it."
Xing Yu stared at the decorations on the cake, suppressing the strangeness in his eyes: "Then why did you buy a Doraemon cake?"
Lin Yan thought about it and answered truthfully: "I saw you had a Doraemon figurine in your car. I thought you might like it."
Xing Yu suddenly turned his head and stared into her eyes: "Do you know why I like it?"
Lin Yan felt that Xing Yu's mood was not right today.
She shook her head: "I don't know."
Xing Yu's dark eyes were as obscure as the deep sea, concealing a turbulent current.
"Because a girl once told me that Doraemon has a versatile pocket that can fulfill all kinds of wishes, and her favorite doll is Doraemon."
Lin Yan moved her lips: "Yeah, I liked it when I was a kid too."
Xing Yu looked at her, but didn't get the response he wanted.
After so many years, she had indeed forgotten him...
Xing Yu turned his gaze back to the cake, and his eyelashes could not hide the loss in his eyes.
After a moment of distraction, he took out a lighter and lit it on the cake.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yan asked.
"make a wish."
"But there are no candles."
"unimportant."
After saying that, Xing Yu closed his eyes.
After she made her wish, Xing Yu gave her a small piece of cake.
She asked casually, "What wish did you make?"
Xing Yu asked in return: "Do you think it will be possible?"
Lin Yan took a bite of cake and said calmly, "I never make wishes. After all, things don't always go as planned. But maybe, there will be a time when sincerity will work."
"Well, sincerity is the key to success."
After returning home and washing up, Lin Yan lay on the bed and browsed her Moments.
Xing Yu, who never posts on WeChat Moments, actually posted an update.
Posted ten minutes ago, with a picture of a cake.
[I only have one wish, can you hug me from now on? ]
